The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 574: Christmas War, Cavaliers vs. Spurs (four k)

   Every Christmas, the NBA arranges several heavyweight games. These games are called Christmas Wars.

   Since the 1940s, the NBA has had a tradition of launching heavyweight games on Christmas Eve.

   This kind of business thinking seemed quite advanced at the time.

   After the popularity of TV broadcasting, watching wonderful live NBA games on Christmas Eve has become a tradition for Americans.

   With the rapid development of the Internet, Chinese people's attention to the Christmas War is gradually increasing.

   In 2005, domestic mobile phones could already use text broadcast to watch games.

   And on the night of Christmas, Dubrov and Sister Hua and Lao Shen stayed in Shentong’s villa to watch the upcoming Shentong game.

   Sister Hua took a sip of Dubrov’s freshly brewed coffee and couldn’t help but praised: “Nina, the coffee you make is so delicious, it tastes very rich and very fragrant.”

   Dobrev smiled.

   Sister Hua looked at Lao Shen on the side and said, "Isn't it?"

   Looking up at the ceiling, Lao Shen, who didn’t know what he was thinking, hurriedly pressed the cigarette **** with his fingers into the ashtray and pinched it out, and replied: "You know I never drink..."

   In the eyes of Sister Hua "persuade you to have a sip of coffee", Lao Shen quickly took a sip of coffee.

   "Well, it is delicious!"

"Let me just say it." Sister Hua immediately turned around and took Dubrov's hand and said, "I think we were like this a few years ago, sitting in front of the TV and watching Shentong's upcoming game. At that time, Shentong He's just a substitute player for the college league team. Although he doesn't have much playing time, he is very persistent and works very hard..."

   Let's go...

  Lao Shen lit a cigarette, sitting far away from Sister Hua and Dubrov, took a deep breath, and entered his world.

This year, the Chinese men’s football team played well in the World Youth Championship. Young talents such as Chen Tao, Gao Lin, Zhou Haibin, Feng Xiaoting, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin emerged, and the East Asian Championships won the Four Nations Championship for the first time. Future...

   Lao Shen slowly spit out the smoke ring, his face gradually showed a rare smile.

   For the Chinese men's football over the years, Lao Shen is also broken.

   "Thinking about there all day, cut the fruit!"

   Sister Hua yelled, pulling Lao Shen from his dream back to reality.

  ......

   On this day of the Christmas War, the Alliance had two major events.

   The Cavaliers play at home with the Spurs, and the Heat play at the Tawauers.

  The Lakers and Heat started the game first.

   The Lakers, who got Jackson re-instructed, are no longer playing headless flies as they did last season.

  The triangle offensive tactics reproduce the Lakers Stadium.

   Kobe only needs to play the role of his own cold-blooded killer, and the all-rounder Odom has become an indispensable part of the triangle offense.

   The Lakers also tried their best to win this game.

   Kobe has full firepower, giving the Heat enough pressure on both ends of the offense and defense.

Facing Wade, Bryant scored 37 points on offense, and also contributed 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. On the defensive end, he made Wade only 5 of 15 shots and only 18 points and 4 blocks. With 5 assists in rebounds, his performance completely suppressed Wade.

   Lakers second master Odom also performed well, scoring 14 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

   O'Neal contributed 18 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

   The shark is old, but still has a strong dominance at the basket, which is by no means comparable to Chris Mihm and his like.

   The former White Sharks were completely exposed in this game. The audience only scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 turnovers and 5 fouls. The data is even more conspicuous.

   In addition to Wade and O'Neal, Williams contributed 14 points and Payton scored 21 points.

   The overall strength of the Heat is indeed better than the Lakers.

   Kobe was the best player in the entire game, but the Heat won the game.

   After the game, Kobe and O'Neal put aside all the previous ones and staged a warm Christmas hug.

   O'Neal even commented on Kobe: "My little brother is still full of firepower. He has become one of the best scorers in the league today. I am proud of him. He has become the leader of the Lakers."

   Jackson promised Kobe after the game that the team will recruit at least one All-Star star to assist him.

   Kobe's Christmas revenge has ended.

  ......

   The Spurs this season is full of demons.

  The GDP portfolio created by Popovich has begun to mature.

   Duncan from homeland, Parker from Europe, and Ginobili from South America, these three have begun to become the new core of the Spurs.

  Parker's performance this season is particularly outstanding. He averaged 18.9 points per game and beat Duncan's 18.6 points, becoming the first Spurs player to remove Duncan from the team's scoring leader in the past eight seasons.

While scoring sharply, Parker averaged 5.8 assists per game, and his 54.8% field goal percentage was particularly terrifying. You must know that Parker is an outside player, but his emergency stop jumper has become an incomprehensible existence. "The name is getting louder and louder.

   Although he became the team's second-ranked scoring list, Duncan is still an indispensable cornerstone of the team.

   18.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 blocks per game are still MVP-level performance.

   Ginobili, the youngest person in the GDP portfolio, became the Spurs' demon knife.

   The team's third-highest averaging 15.1 points per game and the team's highest averaging 1.6 steals per game made Ginobili the most indispensable piece before the team.

   plus defensive warrior Bowen, the old and strong Finley, the pitcher Barry, the king of chaos Van Exel, the key Mr. Horry...

   The Spurs are already No. 1 in the Western Conference, and the win gap with the No. 2 Suns in the Western Conference is still widening.

  To say which team has the most hope to represent the West on the stage of the Finals, it is the San Antonio Spurs.

   So this Christmas battle is also known as an advance preview of this season's finals.

  ......

   Inside the Quicken Loan Center Arena dotted with various Christmas props, the atmosphere is full of enthusiasm.

  Because it is Christmas, in addition to hot dogs, popcorn, beer, there are many other snacks and beverages. Various Christmas clowns perform various shows and magic, and the enthusiasm of the venue is increased in advance.

   What Shentong didn't expect was that Arenas, Jefferson, and Woods would come together to watch the game.

   The big screen at the scene also captured the three people, and whistles one after another immediately sounded on the scene.

   Good fellow, that's the General, New Jersey Ma Sanhe, etc.!

   In addition, a tall, thin, tightly wrapped mimi sneaked into the stadium and found a remote corner to sit down.

   accidentally, a steel jelly slipped out of the pocket.

   "Hey, brother, your penny fell on the ground."

   "Thank you."

  ......

   Today’s Christmas War is broadcast live by TNT.

Barkley, who just finished explaining the Lakers and Heat game, is still in goodwill. The chattering has not stopped since the last game. When the live broadcast turned to the Cavaliers vs. Spurs, Barkley was actually very happy in his heart. But it was a bit too much to comment on two consecutive games, so he pretended to yell: "I want more money!"

   The game is about to start, Shen Tong came to the rostrum, grabbed two hands of magnesium powder, and greeted the fans behind the rostrum with a scream.

   Then, Shen Tong slapped James and Wagner from left to right, then blew his hands twice, beat his chest, and prepared to debut.

   All Cavaliers players know that this Spurs is their true opponent.

   It is like a spring, you have enough strength, but you just can't crush it, and when you relax a little, it can immediately put pressure on you.

   This kind of opponent who can't kill but is always ready to fight back is the most troublesome. You have to maintain a high degree of concentration throughout the game, otherwise you may be silently killed by him if you don't pay attention.

  ......

   In this game, the Cavaliers ranked the regular starting lineup.

   Center: Big Z, Power Forward: Gooden, Small Forward: James, Shooting Guard: Shentong, Pointing Guard: Wagner.

   The Spurs’ starting lineup is the same as at the beginning of the season.

   Center: Nestorovic, power forward: Duncan, small forward: Bowen, shooting guard: Ginobili, point guard: Parker.

   As soon as the players from both sides came on the field, Bowen glanced at Shentong.

   "Go!"

"okay!"

   After the opening, Bowen was defending James, and Ginobili was defending Shentong.

   Don't think that Ginobili's defense is not as good as Bowen. You must know that in addition to the offensive sharpness of the demon knife, the defense is also a good player.

   After all, Manu ranks first in steals on the team.

   The first offense in the opening game played a gentleman connection.

   Shentong's outside line closely followed Ginobili into the inside line, and immediately crossed the ball after drawing Duncan over.

   James, who cut in the middle, directly sent the kick and scored the first goal of the game after holding the ball!

Barkley couldn’t help commenting: “Shen and LeBron’s play style makes me feel that they are getting closer and closer to the combination of Michael and Scott. Both of them are very young. If this combination continues to be so stable, other teams But it's going to suffer."

   The Cavaliers sent dunks at the beginning, but the Spurs immediately returned the game.

   Ginobili's snake-like breakthrough is very weird, which makes Shentong feel a little uncomfortable in defense.

   rushed into the restricted area with twists and turns.

   Just as the big Z stepped forward to make up the defense, Manu slid through the crotch and handed the ball into Duncan's hand.

   One move Buddha Guangpu Zhao plus!

   Almost just lifted his toes, Duncan dunked the ball into the hoop.

   Shentong immediately hit Ginobili on his back and succeeded in a fall-back jumper.

   The Spurs' Parker relied on Duncan's screen to make a jumper.

   Smith explained: "Cleveland has a combination of gentlemen that is enviable, but St. Anthony also has a highly anticipated GDP combination. Their talents are no worse than Shentong and LeBron, and they are equally young."

  On the court, Bowen didn't do a good job of restricting James today.

   Since using the old man's cart, James seems to have fallen into it, frequently using this trick to hard top Bowen.

   Bowen is the representative of technical defensive, not the kind of physical shield player who can resist.

   James played better than Shentong in the first quarter, scoring 14 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter.

The Cavaliers also led the Spurs 30-22 in the first quarter of the Christmas War.

   At the beginning of the second quarter, Duncan, who has always been low-key and restrained, suddenly showed his power and scored 6 points in a row, including a dunk that dunked the opponent directly on Gooden's head.

At that time, Ginobili’s layup was interfered by Shentong. When the ball hit the front of the rim, both Gooden and Duncan jumped up to grab the ball, but Duncan was in a better position and did not wait for Gooden to jump completely. Duncan had already relied on his long arms to take the lead in grabbing the ball and buckling it directly into the basket. At the same time, due to physical contact, Gooden lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.

   Barkley said: "Tim Duncan is a cornerstone player of the team. He is the leader that every team desires. If a team has such a player, you don't have to worry about the future of the team."

   Smith asked immediately: "Charles, you are also a power forward. If you were the head coach, would you choose yourself or Tim?"

Barkley laughed and said: "That's it? You asked this kind of question? It's so stupid. I am the best power forward in history. This is undisputed, so no matter who it is, I choose me. Myself."

   "The best power forward in history? Still no controversy?"

   "A player of your level doesn't understand at all."

  "..."

   "I was the player who took away the MVP of the regular season in Michael's hands, and if you give me the height of Tim, I will be a small enhanced version of Shaquille O'Neal!"

   "Come on, Charles, don't have your spring and autumn dreams."

"I’m afraid you don’t know. During his trip to Asia, Shin participated in an NBA game jointly developed by game companies from China, Japan and South Korea. I have experienced their demo version through personal relationships. It’s pretty good. Inside, I can set my height and weight, and then match my ability to play and the consciousness of the court. It is simply invincible."

   "Really? How is that game? When will you lend me to play?"

   "The beauty of thinking."

  "..."

  ......

   The Spurs quickly approached the point difference in the second quarter~www.ltnovel.com~ With Ginobili hitting a three-pointer, they even surpassed the score once.

   Shentong did not score much today, mainly due to the very targeted defense of the Spurs team.

   Popovich must have studied the Cavaliers' tactical play around Shentong very seriously before the game.

   So whenever Shentong holds the ball, he will almost be surrounded by 3-4 Spurs players during the entire offensive process.

   In this case, Shentong did not choose to attack, but took advantage of this restraint to create opportunities for James and Wagner.

   Just after the Spurs caught up, Shen Tong immediately used passes to connect the team's offense. James and Wagner successively received passes from Shen Tong and succeeded in attacking.

   Marshall, who came off the bench, also made a three-pointer against Duncan.

   In the calm, the Cavaliers still maintained a 7-point lead into the second half.

   However, what Shentong and the Cavaliers did not expect is...

   James suddenly fell to the ground without warning after a jumper from beyond the three-point line.

   Looking at the painful expression of James's ankle tightly, Shen Tong looked at Bowen with an innocent look, and instantly understood everything...
