The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 493 The sun reborn from the fire (second more)

  Shen Tong and Alba stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge.

  The people on the bridge were clamoring loudly and it was very lively.

  The road is not congested.

  There is no crowded phenomenon.

  But Alba did not reveal it.

  The two stopped in the middle of the bridge and looked towards Manhattan.

  The traffic flow at night and the high-rise buildings in the city center are intertwined under the light of the night, and they merge into a beautiful picture, which is particularly sensational.

  Shen Tong turned his head to look at Alba, and happened to find that the other party was also looking at him.

  At this time, the Brooklyn Bridge was suddenly as bright as daylight.

  Alba pointed in the direction where the light came, and said excitedly: "Manhattan light!"

  Shentong looked in the direction of Alba's fingers, but in front of him was the image of Alba's face exposed in the light of Manhattan.

  After the team’s training session, Shen Tong sat in front of the locker, still thinking about what happened last night.

  Before parting, Alba asked Shen Tong: "Shen, you broke up with Avril Lavigne, is it true?"

  "Ah" Shentong didn't expect Alba to ask this question so directly, she was a little surprised, but she still asked the truth from facts, "Well, yes."

   "So." Alba said with a mischievous smile, "I have a chance."

"Hey!"

  A rough choke interrupted Shentong’s memory.

  James sat down next to Shentong and said: "Tonight's Phoenix Suns has played quite well this season. Like us, they have won three games in a row."

  James' words made Shen Tong instantly sober.

  The Phoenix Suns in the 04-05 season.

  This season, the Suns have welcomed back "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash.

  I don’t know whether Nash made the Suns or the Suns made Nash. In short, the Suns have become the most ornamental and sharpest offensive team in the league at the beginning of this season.

  On July 14th of the offseason, Nash officially signed a contract with the Suns.

  But in fact, Nash, who is very heartfelt to the Mavericks, is reluctant to leave the Mavericks, especially his partners Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley.

  But the 30-year-old is also very worried about his future. After all, the Mavericks have been silent during the open bidding.

  When the Suns opened a five-year, $65 million contract for Nash, Nash immediately called his boss, Mark Cuban, to inform him of the Sun’s offer.

  But Cuban, who has always been generous, did not match the Suns’ offer.

  So, the contract the Sun opened was the only option for Nash.

  Returning to the home team, the Suns, Nash expressed his gratitude and trust in the Suns, as well as his understanding of Cuban.

  At that time, Cuban had only the big shark O’Neal who publicly stated that he would leave the Lakers.

  If Nash is signed, then the Mavericks who retain Nowitzki and Finley will not have enough salary space to sign O'Neal.

  It's just that O'Neal went to the Heat later, and Cuban could not wait for O'Neal, and even lost Nash.

  In the afternoon before the game, Paul Silast wanted all the players to watch the Suns’ first three games of the season.

  The gorgeous offense completely runs counter to the league’s current emphasis on defense.

  Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls and the counterattack like flowing water made the Cavaliers players who watched the video tut.

After watching the Suns' game video for 2 hours, Silas said to all the players: "Tonight's game must be a hard fight. Their style of play has nothing to refer to in the current league, so For tonight’s tactics, I plan to attack them. After all, our fast-attack counterattack is also very fast. We will increase the defensive intensity during the positional battle. In short, the game tonight will consume a lot. Players on the bench should also be ready to play at any time!"

"Yes!"

  Silas’ tactical arrangement is very similar to the Spurs’ style of play.

  Experienced Shentong knows that the Suns’ offense is indeed gorgeous, but when encountering a team like the Spurs that can attack and defend, it is easy to be pulled off the horse.

  Speaking of, the Spurs already had a GDP portfolio at that time, and it was precisely because of the addition of Manu Ginobili that the Spurs were able to truly restrain the Suns.

  And this Cavaliers team, if there is no James and Wagner, Shentong is actually not confident.

  But this season, the Cavaliers have also harvested Wolong and Fengchi. Together with Shentong, with the combination of the young Big Three, it is nothing to deal with the Suns this season.

  The Cavaliers’ game will continue to be broadcast live by TNT.

  The Cleveland Cavaliers are already very popular, and the three-game winning streak of the Suns has also attracted the attention of the league and fans.

  Therefore, the ratings of this game will definitely be very high. TNT is not willing to miss such a golden game.

  Before the game, Smith first commented on the Suns.

"This Suns team completely revolves around Steve Nash. They play like the Nets in previous years. The counterattack is smooth and sharp, but compared with the Nets, the Suns rely more on three-pointers. This season, they have hit 9.7 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league. They are currently averaging 113 points per game, which is also the league’s first. In just three games, many experts and fans believe that this The season’s Suns may replicate Kidd’s miracles when he first joined the Nets."

Barkley continued: "I think it's very possible. First of all, we saw the Suns' tactical play. There are mainly two. One is the pick-and-roll between Nash and Amare. Their pick-and-roll cooperation is like the Utah Jazz. Stockton and Malone are difficult for other opponents to crack, because Amare’s impact at the basket is too strong, and Nash has a very strong shooting ability, so in terms of pick-and-roll prevention, opponents are actually difficult to limit These two people live. The second is the counterattack of the Suns. Their counterattack and fast break are more sharp than the Nets when they had Kidd and Shentong. It reminds me of the showtime offense of the Lakers in the 1980s~www.mtlnovel .com~Because the Suns’ five starters completely abandoned the traditional center, they have a great advantage in speed, and it is difficult for other teams to keep up with them."

  Barkley’s professional comments impressed Smith.

Smith said: "At present, both teams have won three games in a row, so today there will be a team whose unbeaten status will be broken. So which one is it, let us wait and see. Charles, which one do you prefer? support?"

  Barkley replied very smoothly: "The Cavaliers with home court advantage obviously have the advantage, but the Suns have been gaining momentum recently, so no matter which team wins, I think it is convincing."

  Smiston paused and asked, "Charles, did you go to the commentary training camp to study again?"

"how do you know?"

  The warm-up of the players on both sides is complete, and the starting player comes on the stage.

   Cavaliers starting: center: Varejao, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner;

  Suns starting: center: Stoudemire, power forward: Marion, small forward: Richardson, shooting guard: Johnson, point guard: Nash.
