The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 502: McGrady moment, the concept of five shooting guards (4,000 words)

On December 9, 2004, the Spurs lost to the Rockets 80-81.

This game is a game of blowing and sucking. He scored 13 points in the last 35 seconds. It can be said that there is no one before and after.

In the last 35 seconds, the Spurs have led the Rockets by 8 points, and it seems to everyone that the Rockets have no chance of getting back.

But something magical happened!

McGrady did not give up. After hitting a three-pointer in 35 seconds, he scored a three-plus one in 24.3 seconds, a third three-pointer in 11.2 seconds, and a three-point lore in the final 1.7 seconds.

The Rockets miraculously defeated the Spurs 81-80.

If Shentong’s three-pointer hurricane game, God wore the Cavaliers’ No. 25 jersey, then God replaced McGrady’s Rockets No. 1 jersey in this game.

There is no more Cavaliers game live in Barkley's eyes anymore.

He talked about the Rockets' reversal of the Spurs.

"At 35 seconds and 13 minutes, people have to give him a title, what about the ‘Madi Moment’?"

"'Madi Moment'? That's a good name." Smith rarely affirmed Barkley's proposal.

"This game is destined to be recorded in history. It is absolutely an incredible reversal. I believe that if God watches the game on the sidelines, then he must be moved by McGrady's magical performance at the last moment."

"The man who touched God, I believe Adidas must have new inspiration."

......

After the game, McGrady was full of spring breeze.

In the face of the reporters' questions, McGrady briefly expressed his personal feelings, and then Unified responded to the reporters' questions.

"Today's miracle, I want to thank someone in particular!"

"Who is it, who is it?"

"Shen Tong of the Cavaliers!"

Reporter A: "Is it Shentong?"

Reporter B: "How could it be him?"

Reporter C: "What does he have to do with this game?"

"It was when he beat us in the last game, he gave us encouragement and told me that even at the last minute of the game, he can't give up lightly. So even if everyone thinks that we have lost, the fans on the scene are also ahead of time. We left the market and gave up, but we will never give up, so we reversed it!"

......

The next day, the front pages of major sports websites and newspapers all published McGrady’s 35.13 minutes feat and mentioned McGrady’s gratitude to Shentong in the news.

Some experts pointed out that Shentong's influence has gradually begun to spread among players in the league, not just fan groups.

In response, fans have made comments.

"Look at Shen's appeal in the offseason. He has gathered more than a dozen All-Star players together for training. This is incredible. You must know that many of them are not even willing to play for the American basketball team."

"I thought they were training in Shentong's villa because he cooked delicious Chinese food."

"I think it's time to change the name of the'big four shooting guards' in the league. It's normal to say'the big five shooting guards'.

"Although Shen's performance is not as thorough as Michael's, I think Shen will definitely have the potential to surpass the'big four shooting guards' in the future."

"After defeating Kobe, McGrady and Carter in a row, Allen Iverson is the only four shooting guard left. I don't know if his 76ers can snipe the 6-game winning streak in the next game."

......

Time to return to the live broadcast room after the Cavaliers defeated the Nets.

Barkley took a closer look at the live broadcast of the next round of the NBA.

Smith asked, "Charles, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for it, which one will be explained in the next live broadcast."

"Why, worry about missing some famous scene?"

Barkley didn't answer, but he thought about it for a long while.

"Just this game, the Indiana Pacers vs. Detroit Pistons, this game against the Eastern Conference duo should be more interesting."

Barkley made a decision.

......

The Philadelphia 76ers had a good start to the season, with 5 wins and 1 loss in 6 games. The only opponent to lose was the Seattle SuperSonics, which had a hot offense this season.

The relationship between 76ers coach O'Brien and Iverson is not bad, although Brown and Iverson's "mentor and apprentice" friendship cannot be achieved, but at least Iverson can trust someone.

Before coming to the 76ers, O'Brien had been a coach in Boston.

After being replaced by an assistant coach Rick Pitino as the team's coach in 2001, he led the Celtics to a total of 139 wins and 119 records. However, they were angry because of a disagreement with the team president Danny Angie. Resign.

The 76ers immediately threw an olive branch.

O'Brien also became the 20th head coach in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.

......

The 76ers' lineup book this season has actually declined compared to last season.

Eric Snow went to the Cavaliers, leaving the 76ers missing an important part of the point guard position.

In addition, almost failed to recruit any powerful players in the summer transfer, Iverson has almost become a lone hero.

Except for McGee, the former best sixth man who was difficult to cooperate, is still in form, there is no other player on the team that can hold the responsibility.

Iverson, who has been struggling in the muscle jungle for 6 years, is full of old injuries. Based on his tenacious will and desire to win, many experts have questioned how far the 76ers can go before the start of the new season.

What everyone didn't expect was that the 76ers had the second record in the Eastern Conference, second only to the undefeated Cavaliers.

Allen Iverson averaged 33.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He almost exhausted all of them. He played the lead in scoring and the state he had when he won the MVP of the regular season.

......

The ill-fated 76ers have won an NBA championship in history.

That was in the distant 1967. Under the leadership of Zhang Liangwan, the Philadelphia 76ers reached the playoffs with 68 wins and 13 losses in the regular season and easily won the championship.

And Chamberlain's basketball career in 7 scoring times, 11 rebounds, 100 points in a single game, all completed in the 76ers.

Therefore, the 76ers are not without background and historical precipitation, but it is a pity that the 76ers are like a huge ship sleeping on the bottom of the sea, and no one has enough power to pull it out of the bottom of the sea and re-yang Fan.

However, Iverson, the little man, almost did it. He led the 76ers to the Finals, but in the end all the credit was given.

In the new season, after a rare hard training, Iverson vowed to fight again.

......

After defeating the Nets, Shentong saw McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes performance on TV.

Although he knew that this moment would definitely come, when it really came, Shentong would still have uncontrollable excitement.

This kind of moment is really something you can meet but not ask for.

At least so far, there has not been a "Shentong Moment".

He sent a text message to McGrady.

"Miracle, blow and suck, if you do it, I know you can do it. Let Yao go forward with you, I am optimistic about you!"

After a while, Shentong received a text message reply.

"Thank you, Shin, for those words."

......

After defeating Shentong's old club, the Nets, the Cavaliers continued their road trip non-stop.

Next stop, Philadelphia.

I'm afraid Shentong didn't expect that in the new season's schedule, with less than 7 games starting, he would compete with the "big four shooting guards" one by one, which is like a test of his summer training.

However, from the current performance, Shentong is very satisfied with his performance.

As long as the 76ers can be killed, then this season will be able to get a good start to the "big four shooting guards"!

......

Before the start of the game, Shen Tong entered the basket **** space and took out the "Twelve House Torch Wheel".

The scale pointed by the pointer indicates the attribute: dribbling.

The torch shines on Shentong's "dribbling" attribute.

The attribute value has been increased from 68-76 to 98-106.

According to Shentong's understanding, such a high attribute value can be used to perform juggling.

Even at the moment of touching the ball, there is a silky soft feeling.

I feel that the ball is in my hand, as if it is no longer a ball, but a living body with a soul.

......

Although no one was optimistic about the 76ers before the start of the season, with the team's excellent record, the Philadelphia ball market began to boom again.

In the 2001 Finals, Iverson once praised Philadelphia's home court.

Although Iverson showed the status of leading scoring, it is too difficult for a small man to support an NBA team.

In fact, many surprising players have emerged on the team.

The first is last year's rookie, Kyle Korver.

The white player who is known for his shooting skills served as a substitute in last year's rookie season, averaging only 4.5 points per game, but he shot a good 39.1% from three-pointers.

This season, with Snow's departure, Iverson returned to the position of point guard, and Korver was mentioned as the starting shooting guard by the coach.

In the first 6 games, Korver started all the starts and contributed 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks, which made up for the vacancy that Snow left. More importantly, Korver Wall is a player who runs without the ball, can shoot after receiving the ball, does not occupy players, and is a natural fit for Iverson.

Korver, who won the starter and stable playing time, went one step further, reaching 42%, which is very efficient.

The second surprising player is this year's No. 9 pick Andre Iguodala.

The 1.98-meter small forward is extremely athletic and often has an explosive dunk performance.

As soon as he entered the NBA arena, he was entrusted with an important task.

After becoming the 76ers' starting small forward for the new season, Iguodala averaged 9.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

These two positions that were originally considered loopholes in the team have become the highlights of the new season for the 76ers.

In this game, the 76ers’ starting lineup is: Center: Samuel Dalembert, Power Forward: Brian Skinner, Small Forward: Andre Iguodala, shooting guard : Kyle Korver, point guard: Allen Iverson.

The Cavaliers’ lineup has not changed from the last game against the Nets: Center: Ilgaskas, Power Forward: Gooden, Small Forward: James, Shooting Guard: Shentong, Pointing Guard: Wagner.

......

Before the game started, Iverson took the initiative to hug Shentong and salute.

Iverson said: "Shen, the dehydrated vegetables you made are really delicious. I have never had such delicious vegetable dishes after I left your house. If you continue to hold training camps next offseason, remember Be sure to notify me and stop letting me find the door by myself."

Shen Tong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Allen."

In fact, the dehydrated vegetables in Iverson's mouth are nothing more than the second processing after Shentong took out the vegetable bag from the instant noodles and re-dipped it.

Of course, it is impossible for Shentong to tell Iverson the truth.

James saw that in almost every game, the opponent's top star would take the initiative to hug and greet Shentong, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

This is the status of the arena.

The feeling of being ignored by the Chosen Son is uncomfortable.

......

Game start.

The 76ers fight for the ball and Iverson dribbles forward.

From shooting guard to point guard, Iverson's role positioning has changed, but he still put most of his energy on offense.

Most of the assists are completed in the case of sudden points.

Before the start of the game, Wagner vowed his performance, and he had to compete head-to-head with Iverson to see who is the real king of speed.

For the first ball, Iverson didn't use any fake moves. He wanted to directly use his speed to force Wagner, but he didn't get rid of Wagner's defense during the breakthrough. In the end, he chose to pass and Korver hit a mid-range jumper.

Wagner directly expressed to Shentong and James that Iverson's speed was not as fast as he thought, and he was able to keep up with the opponent's footsteps.

For the second ball, Iverson suddenly changed direction during the breakthrough process ~www.ltnovel.com~ shook Wagner off guard and succeeded in making an emergency stop jumper.

Wagner admitted that he was a little underestimated and careless.

For the third ball, Iverson broke through and started again after an emergency stop. Using the repeated rhythm, Wagner lost the defensive position and scored 2+1 on the layup.

Wagner, who was completely lost on defense by Iverson, was speechless.

Shen Tong did not taunt Wagner's defense like he usually joked, because he knew that Wagner at this time actually needed encouragement.

He patted Wagner on the back and said, "He is Allen Iverson, not your problem."

Wagner nodded silently.

There was a time when Wagner looked down upon Iverson.

Before the draft, he was known as a tall, large version of Iverson.

But until the real matchup, Wagner didn't know what the real "Iverson" was.

......

Just as Iverson frequently tore Wagner's confidence on the offensive end, Shentong also kept hitting Korver, who was against him.

Shentong hit a three-pointer under Korver's full defense.

"Come on, you almost stopped me."

Korver missed the shot under Shentong's block.

"Kyle, good job, hold on, you can do it!"

This kind of real damage on the offensive end and mouth shot damage on the defensive end keeps Korver's mentality on the verge of collapse.

When the head players of the two teams do not meet any decent resistance, the performance of the second head is extremely important.

James and Iguodala.

James lowered his hands and held the ball, encountering Iguodala's death entanglement.

After making a few false breakthroughs, James began to attack...
