The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 491: The sun reborn from the ashes

Shentong and Alba strolled on the Brooklyn Bridge.

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

The roads are not congested either.

There is no crowded phenomenon.

But Alba did not dismantle.

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

The traffic 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 person was also looking at him.

At this moment, the Brooklyn Bridge was suddenly as bright as day.

Alba pointed to the direction where the light was coming from, and said excitedly: "The Light of Manhattan!"

Shen Tong looked in the direction of Alba's fingers, but in front of him was the image of Alba's face that was 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..." Shen Tong 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!"

Shen Tong's memory was interrupted by an old rough choke.

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...

The Suns this season welcomed back "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash.

I don’t know if Nash made the Suns or the Suns made Nash. In short, at the beginning of this season, the Suns became the most watchful and sharpest offensive team in the league.

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.

As a result, the contract issued by the Sun is the only option for Nash.

Returning to the mother team 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'Neill 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.

But then O'Neal went to the Heat, and Cuban could not wait for O'Neal, and even lost Nash.

......

In the afternoon before the game, Paul Silasti let all the players watch the Suns' first three games of the season.

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

The pick-and-rolls of Nash and Stoudemire 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 no reference in the current league, so For tonight’s tactics, I plan to attack them. After all, our fast-attack counterattack is also very swift? We raise the defensive intensity when we are in a positional battle? Anyway? Tonight’s game will consume a lot of energy? The players on the bench should also be ready to play at any time!"

"Yes!"

Silas' tactical arrangement is very similar to that of the Spurs.

Experienced Shentong knows that the Suns' offense is indeed gorgeous? But encountering a team that can attack and defend like the Spurs? It is easy to be pulled off the horse.

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

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

But this season? The Cavaliers have harvested both Wolong and Phoenix. Together with Shentong, with the combination of the young Big Three, it is not worthwhile 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 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~www.ltnovel.com~ First of all, we saw the Suns' tactical play. There are mainly two. One is the pick-and-roll between Nash and Amare. Like Stockton and Malone of the Utah Jazz, other opponents are difficult to crack because Amare's impact at the basket is too strong. In addition, Nash has a very strong shooting ability, so in terms of pick-and-roll prevention In fact, it is difficult for the opponents to limit these two people. The second is the counterattack of the Suns. Their counterattack fast break is more sharp than the Nets with Kidd and Shentong. It reminds me of the Lakers in the 1980s. Showtime offense. 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 one team whose unbeaten golden 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's convincing."

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

"how do you know?"

......

The players on both sides warmed up and the starting players came on 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.
