The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 475: Crossing Artest's death basket

   Shen Tong straddled down the dribble, blending Iverson's butterfly step, which made the opposing Stephen Jackson quite uncomfortable.

   Jackson is a player who likes to play hard, so his style is destined to be incompatible with the steady Spurs.

   But he also couldn't understand other people pretending to be coercive in front of him.

   So when Shen Tong's dribble was dazzled, Jackson's heart was very restless.

   He has an urge to play football, but sensibly tells himself that he can’t because he is playing basketball.

   "噗..."

   Jackson couldn't believe it and looked at his feet...

   Just now, without the command of his brain, he raised his foot impulsively and kicked Shen Tong's dribbling ball out of the sideline.

   The referee immediately whistled Jackson for the violation and stepped forward to give a verbal warning.

   Jackson, who knew he had no good impression in the referee's mind, immediately nodded his head and admitted his mistake, and raised his hand to show that he didn't mean it.

   Jackson's brain: Feet, can you be obedient? You can't kick the ball with your feet!

   Feet: No, you want to kick.

   Brain: ...maybe it is.

  ......

   Shentong did not cooperate with Jackson's performance.

  While Jackson was still struggling, he didn't stay much longer, and ditched his opponent with one stride.

   Shentong was very fast. Before the Pacers' players could react, they had already rushed into the inside and made a layup in front of O'Neal.

Barkley exclaimed: "Wow, Shentong is so fast. It seems that every movement is half a frame faster than the Pacers, and the players including O'Neal have not had time to react. Shentong has completed this time. attack."

Smith said: "The media reported that Shentong did not rest after participating in the Athens Olympics, but held an All-Star training camp at home. Looking at it now, it should be true. Look at his speed, which is definitely higher than last season. ."

  ......

   O'Neal got the ball inside, turned around to drive Gooden, and was about to pick the basket. Who knew that as soon as his hand was raised, the ball was shot down by Shentong.

   The agile Shenton took the ball and quickly launched a fast attack.

   James left on the left, Wagner on the right, three arrows fired together.

   "Shin, LeBron, and Da Juan remind me of the three Musketeers of the previous Nets, Kidd, Shentong, Jefferson." Smith said.

   As soon as the voice fell, the Cavaliers had reached the Pacers' three-point line in the half.

   Artest, who returned to the defense, had a very clear mind at this moment.

   "Go forward and post Shentong!"

   Another distant half, Jackson gave his opinion.

   However, Artest did not adopt it at all.

   If you defend as you said, doesn’t it mean that we think in the same way?

   That's definitely not good.

   I have to prove that I am not the same type of player as you.

   Thinking of this, Artest's eyes quickly turned left and right.

   is more likely to be passed to James, after all, he has a body and can carry me hard.

   But it is also possible to pass to Wagner, after all, he is faster and can break through me to complete the layup.

   Yeah... my brain is burnt too... who should I bet on? !

   While Artest was thinking about brainstorming, Shentong gave the answer.

   He passed the ball to the rebound...

   In the process of fast dribbling, Shen Tong took the ball with his left hand and threw it to the backboard.

   Artest watched Shentong pass the ball and "off his hands", couldn't help laughing.

  Who knows that Shentong's footsteps did not stop, and he flew up to meet him.

   Artest froze in place.

   Shen Tong resolutely jumped up, his legs bounced from the ground like springs.

   Artai only felt that a big stick was poking at his cheek and getting closer and closer. He couldn't help bending down and lowering his head.

   Shen Tong had jumped very high. He wanted to catch the rebounding basketball and was going to buckle Artest. Who knew that the opponent would bend down and drop the height.

   So Shentong immediately changed its strategy, and took advantage of Artest's head and dunked the rebounding ball into the basket with one hand!

   This ball seemed to explode on the Pacers' basket!

Artest, who was crossed by Shentong over his head, opened his eyes, and saw James push to Shentong’s chest with a move, and then Wagner rushed out from the other side, and Shentong came to a "welcoming man". Passionate hit the chest.

   What is going on?

   Atai Zhanger couldn't figure it out.

   In the live broadcast room, Barkley was about to laugh.

"This guy, I don’t even know what happened just now. Oh, let’s see, the replay just now was broadcast on the big screen in the center of the venue. Look at Ron’s expression. This is really funny, his The expression seemed to say, oh, this must not be true, is this a prank?"

Smith also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you hit the board and dunk, it's still a leap-type dunk. This ball is much more difficult than the dunk that Vince Carter leaped over the French center Wes. If it is placed on someone else, maybe Because of this ball, his career is over, but fortunately Ron, he may not particularly care."

   At this moment, Shen Tong returned to the half-court defense surrounded by his teammates.

   Artest shook his head and walked forward, muttering something in his mouth. Jackson came to Artest’s side and patted Artest’s back kindly.

   The blocked Artest originally felt a little depressed, not to the point of sadness. After all, he was originally big-hearted, but when he saw Jackson, whom he despised, came to comfort him, tears almost came down.

  ......

   I want to say that Artest is also a tough guy, and after understanding what happened just now, he needs to respond immediately.

   holding the ball in his left hand, hitting James with his back, constantly chiseling hard.

   After finishing the left-hand collision, switch the ball to the right hand, then turn around and hit the right-hand side.

   Originally, Artest’s move was unfavorable at the small forward position, even in the face of Pierce whose feet were almost sucked on the floor, but today, no matter how he twists, James behind him is not moving.

   Artest’s dribble was a little slow, James immediately went forward and spotted the ball with his left hand, successfully stealing the ball from Artest!

   Barkley exclaimed: "What's wrong? The defense of the two teams seems to have been adjusted compared to last season. The Cavaliers have successfully tackled twice in a row!"

   After James grabbed the ball, Artest couldn't bear it and resorted to a tactical foul, holding James' left arm with his right hand.

  "Drop---"

   The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

   But Artest still didn't let go of his right hand.

   James’ left arm was held tightly by Artest, with a pained expression on his face.

   The referee put down his whistle and verbally asked Artest to let go.

   At this time, Artest pretended to be stunned, as if he didn't understand what the referee was saying, and instead showed off a wave of acting skills.

   seems to be saying, look, it's our arms entangled together, it's not my fault.

   The poor acting made Anderson Varejao, who was sitting on the Cavaliers bench, laughed directly.

   However, James’ painful expression was not fake. The nearest Wagner stepped forward and tried to break Artest’s arm. At this time Artest seemed to be stubborn. No matter how Wagner broke, he just didn’t let go.

   "Cack!"

   As soon as Shen Tong shot, Artest retracted his arm.

   And this time, a painful expression appeared on Artest's face.

   James, who was free from the bondage, hung his left hand and walked straight to the bench. The team doctor didn't dare to be careless, so he immediately stepped forward to check.

   "Oh, my god, my goodness." James squinted, squinting.

   "What's the situation, LeBron, where does the left hand hurt, do I need to go to the infirmary?" the team doctor asked with concern.

   "I'm just a little thirsty and want to drink water."

  "..."

   On the field, Artest saw that it was Shen Tong who had just "violently abused" him. He originally wanted to go forward when he had a temper, but then he thought that he was from China.

   Oh, Chinese Kung Fu!

   So Artest complained to the referee, saying that Shen Tong just poked him.

   The referee ignored him and awarded Artest a technical foul.

   Now Artest was unhappy, yelling and rushing to the referee, Jackson and Tinsley immediately stopped him.

   "Fight out the fire, Ron, we can't be arrogant!"

   Artest took a look, it was Jackson who said this, and he almost pulled it over with a scream.

  ......

   The game enters the timeout.

On the way back to the bench, Wagner asked Shentong: "Shen, what did you do to Ron just now? Why did I use the boss’s strength just now and I couldn’t let Artest release his hand, but you got it all at once. , How did you do it? Did you really poke him with something?"

   Shen Tong did not answer, but raised his right hand, placed it in front of Wagner's nose, and then extended his index finger.

   "What are you doing?" Wagner wondered.

   "Smell."

   The words are concise and concise.

   Wagner sniffed.

  ???

  What smell?

   Seeing Shen Tong's wretched smile, Wagner reacted immediately.

   vomit...

   This taste is so sour and refreshing!

  ......

   After the timeout, the game restarts.

   Artest was replaced to rest.

   After James drank the water, it was okay, but Paul Silas replaced him with a rest and replaced him with Reggie Miller.

   When Miller came on the court, the audience once again showed two very different extreme reactions.

   But Miller loosened the waistband of his pants and tidied it up, but there was no reaction on his face.

In the live broadcast room, Barkley explained: "After Reggie came to the Cavaliers, he helped the Cavaliers too much. Paul also had more options for substitution. From the perspective of the players, Reggie can play three or four. The number position, Shentong can also, so when LeBron or Shentong come to rest, Reggie can come up at any time, these three are basically the Cavaliers' wing rotation this season."

   On the court, Shentong's breakthrough attracted the Pacers to double-team.

   scored the ball to the outside, Wagner did not pause after receiving the ball, and immediately distributed it to Miller on the other side.

   Crosill just wanted to make up his defense, but he was stopped by Gooden.

  In addition to the big Z who was just brought to the line to make a pick-and-roll for Shentong, when Miller shot, the Cavaliers' inside line was almost vacuumed!

   In other words, this tactic almost completely gave up rebounding, just to open space for Miller.

   This shows the team's full trust in Miller.

   Reggie Miller did not live up to the expectations of Silas and his teammates, and made a steady shot from the outside.

   Although the shooting posture is far inferior to that of Shentong, the shot that pushes the ball out of the chest with both hands is more stable.

   When Miller’s hands crossed, the ball went into the basket.

   After scoring a goal, Miller made the iconic gesture of raising his right hand to celebrate.

   Smith commented: "Even though Reggie is wearing a Cavaliers jersey, it is still Reggie, just like when he first entered the league, there was no slight change."

  ......

   In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers led the Pacers by 8 points 28-20.

In the second quarter, the Pacers at home started a fierce counterattack.

   O'Neal, Artest, and Jackson took turns to succeed.

   They improved the resilience of the defensive end, and offered a full press.

   Wagner had made 3 turnovers in the first half of the second time, which directly led to the opponent's fast break score.

   So, Paul Silas took the initiative to make substitution adjustments.

   pointed his hand to the bench seat, and the point will play.

   Eric Snow got up from the bench.

   "Oh, the Cavaliers made a substitution. Eric Snow, who came from the 76ers to the Cavaliers, played. It seems that the Cavaliers want to organize the offense." Smith explained.

   Snow didn't make a fancy dribble after coming on the field, nor did he move fast, but he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with a sharp eye, and under the harassment of Tinsley, the very determined performer Silas' tactical arrangement.

   After Snow made the gesture, James first stepped forward to cover Shentong, and then immediately slipped to the bottom line and ran to the bottom corner on the other side.

   Just when Jackson was about to catch up, Gooden once again stood in front of Shentong and blocked his way.

   Shen Tong, who got the empty seat, just stepped on the spot, and Snow's pass was delivered just right.

   Very comfortable pass.

   After getting the ball, he doesn't need to make any adjustments and directly raises his hand to throw a three-pointer.

   The ball passed Gooden and Jackson in front of him, and smashed into the basket accurately like a meteor.

   Successful Shen Tong gave Snow a thumbs up, indicating that this is a good pass.

   Snow just smiled, and immediately plunged into the harassment of Tinsley.

   This is the first time Shentong has received such a comfortable pass after leaving the Nets.

   When was the last time this kind of pass was received?

   was when Kidd was the Nets point guard.

   Under Snow's organization and pass, Shen Tong opened fire in the second quarter.

  Inside and outside, he scored 12 points in a row and pulled the score of both sides to 20 points in one fell swoop!

   At the end of the first half, Shentong has scored 25 points.

   The score of both sides is 59-44, and the Cavaliers lead.

  ......

   "Damn it!" Rick Carlisle kicked off the bench of a player in the locker room team.

"What were you doing in the first half? Are you sleepwalking collectively?" Carlisle yelled, "Do you know what Reggie Miller thinks at the moment? "Oh, my God, fortunately I left this group of fools, they It’s too weak.’ Yes, that’s right, you are just a bunch of cowards. Look at the technical statistics. Shen has scored 25 points! Do you want him to score 50 points in the game? You want to be in the media. Have you seen the news that "Shentong scored 50 points on the Pacers in the first game of the regular season"?!"

   Jackson's face is very ugly~www.ltnovel.com~ Artest also frowned and said nothing.

   Carlisle took out the tactical board and said loudly: "Come over and listen to me. The defense in the second half is arranged like this..."

  ......

   On the other side, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room is warm.

   made 3 three-pointers in the first half and Miller, who scored 9 points, seemed very relaxed.

   "Their boos have no effect on me. It is a small case to deal with this kind of pressure." Miller returned to his big mouth in the locker room.

  The best performer, Shen Tong, sat in front of the locker, feeling the power of "Nebula Flowing Water".

  Every step in the action, you can immediately "sense" the movements and position changes of other players in the court.

   This is also the reason why Shentong is always half a beat faster than defensive players.

   "Guys, in the second half we will continue to play in the first half and strive for a good start in the first game!"

   As the captain, Shen Tong stood up and encouraged the morale of the team in the locker room.

"Roar!!!"

   At this moment, the Cavaliers are full of morale.
