Chapter 265 Agreement with Dunleavy

There has been an ongoing debate about who is the boss of the Lakers, Sun Zhuo or Kobe. Regardless of whether Sun Zhuo and Kobe will separate next season, the comparison between the two will not stop.

Kobe's next season will be the most explosive scoring season in his career, with 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a single game... These crazy performances will appear one by one, and he will use these performances to prove to everyone that he He is better than Sun Zhuo, and can Sun Zhuo respond to the second highest score in NBA history?

Even if Sun Zhuo can reach full level soon after the start of next season, his attributes at full level still have room for improvement. Sun Zhuo has not earned enough special training cards. In only his third season, he challenged 81 points in a single game. It is really Very difficult.

Sun Zhuo looked at the bald old Dunleavy with a flattering smile, and said with confusion: "Coach Dunleavy, I respect you very much, but we have no personal relationship. Some of my Lakers teammates also came to me to help them invest, but I Refused."

Dunleavy said: "I have always admired you. You are so special. Having you in the NBA makes me feel that the entire league has become different. I know that we have only met a few times and have not even spoken. Anyway, it is indeed inappropriate to make such a request on your first visit, but I really need money now, and I can do my best to help you."

"But I have an agent and an experienced friend like Shaquille. I also maintain a good relationship with Phil Jackson. We don't belong to the same team. I think there is a limit to what you can give me back, unless you can Give me some water when we fight for the first time, haha." Sun Zhuo said half-jokingly.

But Dunleavy's face was very serious. He also knew that he had no personal relationship with Sun Zhuo. No matter how powerful Sun Zhuo was in making money and no matter how easy his way of making money, he would not help Dunleavy. After a moment of silence, Dunleavy suddenly said: "Is it because I have treated you badly?" If you release the water, you can help me make money?"

"Hey, how can we do something that goes against sportsmanship? If we are found out, our reputation will be ruined. Although I am absolutely sure that I will make money for you, we should think about it carefully." Sun Zhuo looked very tormented inside.

"As long as your request is not too excessive, I can accept it!" Dunleavy said directly.

Sun Zhuo stopped pretending to be noble and said frankly: "You also know that I was very guarded in the corner and didn't have many opportunities to take shots. I hate the feeling of being in the corner all the time and not being able to take shots. I hope I can be in the corner next time. Make more shots from the corners, and no matter how many points I score, I hope you will not target me for the sake of face, do anything to me that hurts my body, or have several people team up to attack me and force me to pass the ball."

"Do you want to break the scoring record again when facing us?" Dunleavy saw what Sun Zhuo was thinking.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "Records have to be broken."

Dunleavy nodded and said: "When a great performance is about to happen, I will not use despicable means to ruin the performance. I don't think it will be such a coincidence. You happened to feel hot when you were playing against the Clippers. I I agree to your request!"

Old Dunleavy was really short of money and went crazy. He actually agreed to such an agreement with Sun Zhuo. Even Sun Zhuo found it incredible afterward. Sun Zhuo was actually joking when he proposed it. Unexpectedly, Dunleavy really agreed seriously. I guess Dunleavy I also know that I don’t have much time left to coach in the NBA.

All the games in the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals are over, and the results were no surprise. The Heat swept the Wizards 4:0, the Pistons defeated the Pacers 4:2, the Suns defeated the Rockets 4:2, and the Spurs eliminated the SuperSonics 4:2.

The Suns are about to face the powerful Spurs, and a seven-game battle between the Heat and the Pistons is about to take place. As a good brother of Wade and O'Neal, what Sun Zhuo wants to see most after the Lakers are eliminated is for the Heat to win the championship, so Sun Zhuo has It is necessary to remind Wade to protect himself from injury. Once Wade is injured, the series will be over.

It's a pity that Sun Zhuo also forgot how Wade was injured in this series. He only vaguely remembered that Wade didn't play in the sixth game and barely came back in the seventh game and still lost the game. If Wade heard Sun Zhuo's advice, He would just regard it as the concern of a good friend and not take it too seriously, so Sun Zhuo decided to attend the fifth game between the Heat and the Pistons in person!

June 2, 2005, the Miami Heat's home court. Today will usher in the fifth game between the Heat and the Pistons. It is also the battle of Tianwang Mountain. The two teams have tied 2:2 in the previous four games. Wade's performance can be said It has played a vital role. In the first four games, he scored 22, 41, 37 and 30 points respectively. This is completely the performance of the Heat's boss. Although O'Neal is still in the last year or two of dominance, he has handed over the power. Give it to Wade, Wade is the leader in the playoffs.

This battle at Tianwang Mountain attracted a lot of attention, but no one expected that Sun Zhuo of the Lakers would also come.

"Look, isn't that Eric Sun from the Lakers? He actually came to watch the game between the Heat and the Pistons. His leg injury seems to have not healed yet."

"He is definitely here to support our Heat. He and D-WADE are good brothers. From the moment he entered the league, he said that Wade is stronger than LeBron and Carmelo Anthony among the rookies. I didn't even know that at the time. I believe it, but just look at Wade's performance in the first four games of the Eastern Conference Finals. It's really gratifying. Wade is strong when he is strong. I believe that LeBron and Cameron will definitely not be in Wade's position now. There will be outstanding performances like Wade's."

"Hey, in the Miami Heat, Sun not only has a good brother, but also his former teammate Shaquille O'Neal."

As the audience was talking, O'Neal, wearing a Heat jersey, walked to the auditorium immediately and greeted Sun Zhuo with a domineering look.

"Brother, welcome to here. After winning today's Tianwangshan battle, I will soon return to the stage of the finals. It's a pity that I can't see you in the finals, but if I meet the Spurs, I will I will avenge you." O'Neal still acted like a big brother.

Wade also came over at this time. The young Wade really lacked leadership qualities in front of O'Neal. Wade had to come on the court before the domineering leadership would become apparent, just like a Chinese woman. Singer Deng Ziqi, when she was participating in I Am a Singer, if she were in the audience, you would think that she was just an ordinary little girl with no aura, but as soon as she was on stage, she felt like a completely different person.

"You seem to be recovering well." Wade also smiled and greeted Sun Zhuo.

"This is not a good memory. Now that I think about the injury, I still feel regretful and regretful. If I had not been injured, maybe the outcome of the series would have been completely different. D-WADE, you are the key to the Heat. After going through this After the first few games, the Pistons will definitely guard you even more, and you must pay attention to protecting yourself and not getting hurt." Sun Zhuo reminded Wade. He didn't know if such a reminder would be effective, but there is currently nothing he can do. That's all.

"Thank you for your concern, brother, I will pay attention. I know those guys in the Pistons are difficult to deal with, but I won't let them hurt me."

After O'Neal and Sun Zhuo walked away, not long after, Pistons coaches Larry Brown and Ben Wallace also walked over to Sun Zhuo.

Larry Brown had a smile on his face and seemed to be very confident in this away game at Tianwangshan. Or perhaps he was so happy because Sun Zhuo's Lakers were eliminated by his disciple Popovich's Spurs. Larry Brown walked to Sun Zhuo Zhuo stopped in front of him and said with a surprised look on his face: "I really didn't expect you to appear here. I have been waiting to see you in the playoffs for a full year, but I didn't expect that when I saw you, you would be like this With such an identity, you must really want to see your good brother defeat us, right?"

Sun Zhuo did not sit down and reply, but stood up to express his respect for Larry Brown, but his words were not so polite, "Popovich really tried his best to deal with me, and he did not hesitate to get me hurt. He left the field to achieve the goal of defeating us. If I hadn't been injured, I don't think we would have lost the series with the Spurs. I'm very worried now. You even taught him how to dress..."

Before Sun Zhuo finished speaking, Larry Brown was already angry and said angrily: "What do you want to say? You mean I will use the same method to hurt Dwyane Wade? Oh, damn, I fell into your trap Trap, I just said the wrong thing, your words are all nonsense, Popovich did not intentionally hurt you at all, your injury was an accident!"

At this time, Ben Wallace, who took a moment to react, was also angry. He immediately rushed towards Sun Zhuo and even raised his hands, shouting: "You guy actually said that we would deliberately hurt our opponents? I told you You, you Lakers are lucky that you can't make it to the finals. If you can make it to the finals, I will beat you!"

"Boy, who allowed you to talk to my brother like this!" O'Neal suddenly rushed over and pushed Ben away.

For a moment, the Pistons and Heat players were extremely nervous. They all rushed over and seemed to be about to start a group fight.

"Who is Sun, and why is the scene so grand whenever he appears?" Some fans couldn't help but sigh.

The two sides quickly returned to their original positions, but after returning to the dugout, Larry Brown was very angry and told everyone: "We must win this game, and I don't want Dwyane Wade or Shaquille O'Neal to get injured. I don’t want Sun to slander my reputation!”

The game started quickly. In addition to the Pistons having the upper hand in the first quarter, as the game progressed, the Heat gradually took control of the situation. The key to the Heat's lead is Wade, or more directly, Wade. Germany's speed.

"Many people say that Wade in the 2006 Finals was in killer mode. In fact, in the 2005 Eastern Conference Finals, Wade had already started it. It's just that he didn't win the championship this year and received less attention. Wade's speed is really fast. It's scary. His mid-range shots are all shot from the top of the arc using speed to break through the defense. His European step layups, his foul shots, and fast breaks, as long as the Pistons don't shoot. If the Heat gets the rebound, the Pistons will have a headache because no one can keep up with Wade's speed."

Sun Zhuo is very envious of Wade's lightning speed. He only has it the moment after catching the ball, and it is still probabilistic. Now Sun Zhuo has two special training cards. Frankly speaking, after watching Wade's performance today, For a moment, Sun Zhuo had the urge to use all his special training cards on speed.

After halftime, Sun Zhuo ran to the Heat locker room to remind Wade to protect himself. After the third quarter, he did the same thing again.

After four quarters, the Heat defeated the Pistons and won the battle at Tianwangshan. The most important thing is that Wade was not injured in this game!

"History has changed again. If Wade is not injured in Game 5, he will not miss Game 6. This also means that the Heat have a greater winning rate. It is very likely that the Heat will eliminate the Pistons and join the Spurs in the Finals!"

Now that we know that the Pistons will lose when they meet the Spurs, let's see what the outcome will be like when the Heat meet the Spurs!

Thinking of this, Sun Zhuo also became extremely looking forward to it.

Sun Zhuo did not stay in Miami for too long, and he had no intention of following them to the Pistons' home court to watch the sixth game. Early the next morning, Sun Zhuo flew back to Los Angeles.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, Sun Zhuo received a call from his agent Emma. Emma told him that another person was going to visit Sun Zhuo's home. Sun Zhuo had received countless unexpected visitors this month. This visitor was more than Any one before has to be special, Emma told Sun Zhuo, the name of this visitor is Warren Buffett.

When he heard this name, Sun Zhuo was very surprised. It was easy to understand that Mike Dunleavy came to him. After all, they were both in Los Angeles and in the same league. But Buffett is a businessman and the world's top investment guru. How could he? Will you pay attention to yourself?

Sun Zhuo read the news in his previous life, saying that Buffett and LeBron James have been friends for years. The two often exchange emails. Buffett also went to the Cavaliers home court to watch James play.

Could it be that Buffett has always been paying attention to the NBA?

About an hour after returning home, Sun Zhuo met this 65-year-old investment guru, who everyone who deals in stocks and futures must worship.

"Haha, it turns out that the genius investor in the NBA looks like this. I'm very happy to meet you, Sun." Buffett has white hair, black-rimmed glasses, and a very friendly smile.

"Nice to meet you. You are my idol. I don't know if it's because I just watched the Pistons game, but I suddenly feel that you are very similar to Pistons coach Larry Brown." Sun Zhuo smiled, and Buffett and Larry Brown never Hair styles, face shapes, clothing, and speech and demeanor are all very similar.

Buffett smiled and said, "I know who the person you are talking about is. I'm honored that you can compare me with him. It seems that you know me to a certain extent, but I don't know you well enough. In terms of basketball, your former You have achieved impressive results in two seasons, but I don’t want to talk to you about basketball today. I don’t know much about this. Fortunately, we have a common topic. I know that you recently made nearly 20 million US dollars by investing in gold. , and the principal is almost the same. I’m sorry that I looked at your transaction records, and I really want to ask you a question. If gold keeps falling, how long will you keep doubling your purchases?”

"To the point where I'm penniless."

"This is not sensible."

“The last step in reason is to admit that there are infinite things beyond reason.”

"Pascal's words." Buffett once again extended his hand to Sun Zhuo, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Sun. We have the same view on the fundamentals of gold. I think we will become friends."
