The Fifth Point Guard

　　 On June 12, 2005, the second game of the Finals kicked off at Gund Arena in Cleveland.

　　 The Spurs who lost the first game changed their faces, as if they had changed a team.

　　 They have always been slower and continue to put pressure on the Cavaliers from the beginning.

　　 Duncan scored a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds in the first quarter!

　　 Gooden and Varejao who came off the bench jointly contributed 4 fouls.

　　 I don’t know how Popovich stimulated them. In short, the Spurs collectively performed a blowout that day.

Especially Duncan, who almost took over the work of the two insiders alone, so that when Silas changed into a small lineup, he could safely replace Nestorovic with Malik Rose and use him to defend. James at the top of the fourth position.

　　 In this game, Bowen stared at Shentong like a tarsal maggot from the start to the end of the game.

　　 And James took the initiative as the main point of attack to take on the heavy task of siege.

　　 It’s just that against the same powerful forward Marrick Rose, James’ tank breakthrough has not been able to play the usual role and level.

　　 With the Spurs' offensive end open, Shentong and James were targeted again. Although the Cavaliers made a very tenacious resistance, they were still captured by the Spurs.

　　94-108.

　　 The Cavaliers lost 14 points to the Spurs in the second home game, and the score was tied 1-1 by their opponents.

　　 Shentong’s performance was below average, "only" contributed 24 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

　　 Although James scored 28 points, he took 29 shots and his scoring efficiency was much lower than usual.

　　 After the game, Manu Ginobili Kazuki, who scored 30 points and 6 assists, was embarrassed in the first game.

In an interview, Ginobili said: "My performance in the last game was simply a disaster. I returned to the hotel after the game that night. I shut myself in the bathroom and took a full hour of bath. I dare not think back to what happened that night."

　　 The reporter asked: "What made you perform so well in the second game? Compared to the first game, it seemed like a different person."

Ginobili laughed and said, "It must be Popovich, that old man...cough cough, the words that guy said to me in the first game kept me in the process of this game. Zhong always tensed his nerves, and didn't dare to be careless."

　　 "What did Bobo say?"

　　 "I had just been scored a few consecutive goals by Shentong on the court, and Bobo called a timeout, and then said to me, if I put you back on the court, can you play like a normal person?"

　　 "Bobo really said that?"

　　 "Of course." Ginobili hurriedly replied, "Even he told us that we must go all out to play with the Cavaliers, and we must not relax in the slightest, and we must shoot them out!"

　　 The reporter laughed.

　　 Obviously, this is the local media in San Antonio.

　　 Ginobili's words aroused dissatisfaction among some Cavaliers fans around him.

　　 There are also constant boos from fans in the TV footage.

　　 Popovich beckoned to Ginobili, and everyone immediately returned to the dressing room.

　　 This time, it's the Spurs' turn to welcome reporters' questions at the press conference.

However, it is a pity that, except for a few local San Antonio media who asked a few questions sporadically, the Chinese media and the Cleveland local media did not ask much, which made Popovich who had a lot of words to say nowhere to vent. The sense of.

　　 "Why, don't you have anything to ask? Two catties question, two catties question!"

　　......

　　 When it was the Cavaliers' turn, although they lost, the atmosphere of the conference was still very warm.

　　 After Paul Silas routinely answered questions from a few familiar media reporters, the on-site staff indicated that there was one last question left.

　　 At this time, a reporter from San Antonio stood up and asked Shentong a question.

　　 "Hello, Shin, when I interviewed Manu just now after the game, I heard that Popovich said in this game that he would shoot you out. What do you think about this?"

　　 This sentence is obviously with a hint of sarcasm.

　　 Shen Tong turned on the microphone switch, and said blankly: "Take the ball and talk."

　　......

the next day.

　　 "Wow..."

　　 Shintong came to the pool and took off the soaking training clothes, but twisted out the water...

　　 Wagner looked silly.

　　 James also stared wide-eyed, silently watching.

　　 Watching Shentong put on the training suit again, Wagner couldn't help but ask Shentong who walked out of the locker room: "Shen, where are you going? Don't you take a shower?"

　　 "I will practice for a while, and then I will wash when I come back."

　　 "Boom." The door of the locker room blocked Wagner's gaze at Shentong.

　　 James silently wiped off his sweat, wrung out the towel, and then pushed aside the locker room and walked out.

　　 Wagner curled his lips, and while hesitating, several players put on training uniforms and went out again.

　　 In the end, only Wagner and Miller remained in the locker room.

　　 "Hey, Reggie, don't you go to practice for a while?" Wagner asked.

　　 "No need, I came over for training three hours earlier, and now I don't even have the strength to raise my hand."

　　"..."

　　 Wagner put on his sneakers silently, then pushed aside the locker room and ran to the court.

　　......

　　 On June 14, the third game of the finals was played at the SBC Center Arena, home of the San Antonio Spurs.

　　 Although the Spurs’ style of playing is very calm and restrained, the home fans of the Spurs are different, very enthusiastic and unrestrained.

　　 A hot girl wearing a gray Spurs jersey rolled up the jersey on her waist, revealing a white waist, with the No. 21 on her chest tightly supported by a big ball.

　　 At this moment, Barkley, who is broadcasting live in the SBC Center Arena, can be regarded as a feast for the eyes.

　　 "The quality of Texas beauties is really high." Barkley had an indescribable smile on his face.

　　 "Charles, let's talk about the ball." Smith reminded.

　　 "I'm watching a game, don't disturb me."

　　"..."

　　......

　　 In this game, the starting lineups of both sides have not changed from the previous two games.

Before the game, Barker commented: "The Cavaliers lost a game in the first two home games and are now visiting San Antonio. They must take a victory here as much as possible, otherwise they will be in a very difficult situation. "

Smith agreed with his partner and said: "But the Spurs’ home court is not good. This is a severe test for Paul Silas and Shentong. We saw that in the second game, the Spurs’ GDP combination collectively The Cavaliers were pressed hard and there was no counterattack. The other two players, Bruce Bowen and Marrick Rose, seemed to be born defenders against Shentong and LeBron, which made the Spurs lineup. It's very reasonable and very specific for the Cavaliers."

Barkley said: "In order to defeat the Spurs, the Cavaliers need to make breakthroughs in certain aspects to change the passive situation in the second game. One is that Tim Duncan can't be asked and asked by himself in the interior. He is the team's. The cornerstones and support points, let Tim live, it is very difficult for the Cavaliers, after all, they do not have Tim's level star in the inside line, the second is that Shentong and LeBron must break the defense of Bruce and Malik. If they need to invest a lot of energy in the offense, then the overall strength of the Cavaliers will inevitably be affected, because the ball needs to be launched from both of them. The third is that the Cavaliers’ bench lineup must give the main players enough help. Gil Miller made 1 of 7 shots from the outside, and Anderson Varejao seemed to be playing just to contribute foul data. If the Cavaliers' bench is still so weak, then the Cavaliers will still be tough in this game."

　　 There were two finals, and it seemed that the two TNT commentators were not optimistic about the Cleveland Cavaliers.

　　......

Before 　　 played, Shen Tong touched the red string on his right wrist.

　　 This was tied by Nina Dobrev herself before she left for San Antonio from Cleveland.

　　 "My dear, this red string has lucky blessings. I hope it can bring you good luck."

　　 Thoughts pulled back to the court, Shen Tong's expression returned to seriousness, his eyes fixed on the ball about to be thrown in the hands of the referee.

　　 Amid the deafening shouts and cheers of the SBC home fans, the game officially started!

　　 Duncan was the first to win the ball for the team.

　　 The Spurs fall into position to attack.

　　 Duncan got stuck inside Gooden and immediately started singles after receiving a pass from Parker.

　　 After two consecutive collisions, Duncan took three steps, drifted laterally, and hooked the ball to the basket with his left hand.

　　 Gooden had no time to adjust to his center of gravity, so he could only look up at the ball flying over his head.

　　 saw the ball disappear into his sight, suddenly the lights behind him dimmed, a palm stretched out from behind, and a slap slap Duncan's throwing out of the restricted area!

　　 is Shentong!

　　 "Look at something stupid, let me charge!"

　　Gu Deng reacted, and quickly took a stride to follow Shen Tong's...back view...

　　 The ball was passed only twice before it was in James' hands.

　　 The Spurs retreated very quickly.

　　 From the first two games, they already knew that the Cavaliers switched offense and defense very quickly.

　　 So when Shentong blocked shots, when the Cavaliers had three of them arrived at the Spurs halftime, the opponent had also returned to defend the three, all of them were squeezed in the penalty area, and they did not give the Cavaliers a chance to break fast.

　　 But James with the ball is standing in the bottom corner on the right.

　　 With a three-pointer on his toe, James made a three-pointer directly.

　　 While taking the ball, James raised his arm high.

　　 This kind of feel, but James has maintained it under the guidance of Shentong.

　　 In order to maintain this shooting feeling, James even maintained his right-handed shooting position for a certain period of time, just to form muscle memory.

　　 "唰."

　　 The hollow ball passes through the net.

　　 After hitting his chest with Shentong, James hit his chest with Wagner again.

　　 Then, Shentong and James returned to their own halftime defense, and Wagner was hit on the sidelines...

　　 Parker made an emergency stop and missed a jumper. Big Z struggled to grab a defensive rebound.

　　 The Big Z, who averaged only 5.5 rebounds in the first two games, has been criticized by many media and fans.

　　 "This **** is only tall and can't play basketball at all."

　　 "This is the All-Star center in the East? There is a difference between him and Shaquille Yao Ming, right?"

　　 "I am afraid there is a difference between Yao Ming and him..."

　　 Da Z usually likes to browse websites, these words naturally can't escape his eyes.

　　 Burdened with the ridicule of outsiders and the expectations of the team, the big Z is also suffocated in this game.

　　 Play as the last match of your career!

　　......

　　 Offensive end.

　　 Shentong used Guden's screen to quickly break into the inside and pass the ball to the big Z in the basket against Duncan.

After 　　 got the ball, Big Z burst into the basket with the ball in both hands, and completed a two-handed dunk in front of Nestorovic!

　　According to the past playing habits, after the big Z basket gets the ball, it is often the end of the basket or scratching the board. Dunk like this is really rare.

　　 "Wow, look at our big center, he is angry!" Wagner smiled and said to the big Z who ran by.

　　 "Yes, Dajuan, you have to stand up a bit. We are really tired to play with you. In contrast, Tony's performance is much better."

　　The radical method from Shentong.

　　Don't say it, Wagner really eats this set.

　　 In the first two games, the self-proclaimed Cavaliers’ third-in-class performance lags far behind Tony Parker. Shentong’s semi-ridiculous remarks have catalyzed Wagner’s performance.

　　......

　　 Close to Parker's defense, the French sports car's dribble is a bit slow, and Wagner's defense is not leaking.

　　 "Hey, Tony, here." Ginobili slipped over and asked for the ball.

　　 Parker was just ready to pass the ball, Wagner unexpectedly reached out and made a steal in advance, intercepting between Ginobili and Parker.

　　 I predicted your prediction!

　　 When Wagner’s arm was found, Parker’s pass was too late to withdraw.

　　 As if cooperating with Wagner's steal, Parker "actively" sent the ball over.

　　 Wagner, who completed the steal, rushed to the Spurs half-time like flying on the grass, and came a two-handed back buckle!

　　 The huge momentum made Wagner, who was hanging the basket with both hands, swing his feet in the air like a pendulum. When he returned to the highest point, his hands were loosened, and the autumn wind fell back into the court lightly like fallen leaves.

　　 James who ran to the scene immediately reached out and pressed his hand on top of Wagner's head.

　　 "Good job, Da Juan! Let's keep doing this tonight!"

"of course!"

　　 Wagner replied decisively, turning around to see Shen Tong's thumb.

　　......

　　 The Cavaliers gave the Spurs a 7-0 wave at the beginning, and Popovich almost fell the stool.

　　 The old handsome called a timeout desperately.

　　 When the Spurs started the Five Tigers and returned to the bench, everyone bowed their heads and did not dare to breathe ~www.ltnovel.com~ After the timeout, the Spurs opened the situation with Duncan's inside attack.

　　 The games between the two sides began to tend to have offense and defense.

　　 After the first quarter, the Spurs have unknowingly reduced the point difference to only 1 point.

During the inter-quarter break, Barkley commented: "The Cavaliers played quite well in the first quarter. Just like the first home game, the Spurs were beaten in the beginning, but the game was four quarters after all, and Bobo Vicki called a timeout in time, and then the Spurs almost evened the difference with their home court advantage and calm play. I guess the Spurs will establish home court advantage in the second quarter, overtake the score and open it."

Smith said: "I also think the Cavaliers will be selected for a hard fight, especially you see, Shen Tong was defended by Bruce Bowen in the first quarter, and he didn't score. If Shen Tong does not play, the Cavaliers and Spurs 55 will not open the situation. It will last too long."

　　......

　　 "Bruce, he defended well in the first quarter, continue in the second quarter, don't give Shentong any chance!"

　　 Listening to the compliments of his teammates, Bowen couldn't feel the slightest joy.

　　 He looked at Shen Tong, who was resting on the bench on the other side, and didn't know what medicine was sold in this kid gourd.

　　 But the sixth sense told myself that Shentong would put himself and the Spurs in danger.

　　 And this feeling is getting stronger and stronger!
