The Fifth Point Guard

　　 There is less than a week left before the new season.

　　 The 15-man roster for the Cavaliers has long been determined.

　　 At 7 o'clock in the morning, all the Cavaliers boarded a hill in Cleveland National Park.

　　 It didn't take long for the sun to rise at this moment.

　　 Shentong is the first Cavaliers player to reach the top of the mountain.

　　 Facing the dazzling sun, Shen Tong stretched out a big lazy waist.

　　 "Hey, this guy won't get up to train again at 4 in the morning, right?" Wagner asked Varejao in a whisper.

　　 "Who would say no? Since winning the championship last season, this guy has become more and more demanding on himself." Varejao pulled down his chicken coop-like hair and whispered back.

　　......

　　 Gund Arena.

　　All members are doing routine morning training.

　　 Shintong panted, becoming the last Cavaliers player that physical coach Derek Miranda failed to falter.

　　 Even James is already lying on his back on the floor.

　　 "Huh..."

　　 took a deep breath, then exhaled, Shen Tong's undulating chest gradually calmed down, and then slowly stood up straight under Miranda's somewhat horrified gaze.

　　 "Derek, we can continue."

　　 "..." Miranda said helplessly, "No, I will be here today. Shin, you are totally inhumane to practice like this!"

　　 "It's really rare when Derek is scared."

　　 Team coach Paul Silas slowly walked to the sidelines.

"Everyone has been training very hard during this period. I and my coaching team can see it. I am very happy that you young guys are not proud of winning the championship. The next new season will be true for us. It is much harder to defend the title than to win the postgraduate entrance examination, but from your recent training performance, I am very confident in you!

　　 As usual, Silas would get cheers and applause from the players when he finished saying such exhilarating words.

　　 But at this moment, except for Shen Tong, who can barely stand, everyone else doesn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

　　 "Well, everyone, there are still a few days before the new season. During this time, everyone has a good rest and relax. There is no more team training."

"Yay!!!"

　　 The players finally heard good news.

　　 Silas said with a smirk, "It seems that you still have more energy."

　　 Everyone: "..."

　　......

　　 Before the start of the new season, the Cavaliers, Heat, Spurs, and Suns were listed as the first group to win the championship. Experts believe that the Cavaliers' biggest opponents are the other three teams.

The Heat’s starting lineup is impeccable, with four All-Stars like O'Neal, Walker, Wade, and Williams, and even former All-Star players like Gary Payton and Alonzo Mourning on the bench, as well as Ha Titans like Slem and Posey have a very luxurious lineup.

　　 After losing to the Cavaliers in the seventh tiebreaker last season, the Spurs also learned a lesson from it, and very rarely increased their signings. Two All-Star players, Michael Finley and Nick Van Exel, brought guns to shoot. Brent Barry, Benno Udri, and Fabrizio Oberto are also practical players who can play well. A type of substitute, the Spurs' book strength is stronger than last season.

　　 The Suns are the fourth seed of the first group. Although the two giants Richardson and Johnson left the team, they also added a lot of more practical and instant players. There are Raja Bell, Eddie House, James Jones on the outside, and there are on the inside. Burris Dior, Tim Thomas, and Kurt Thomas are more balanced than last season. After being blown up by the Spurs last season, the Suns apparently deliberately increased the depth of the team's interior.

　　 Although the defending champion Cavaliers are the No. 1 seed, compared with the above three teams, the Cavaliers are quite low-key during the offseason, and there are no big stars to join. Only Tangyell Marshall joined to make up for the vacancy left by Reggie Miller, which caused a little attention. But the defending champion lineup is almost unchanged from last season. There is also an advantage, that is, the running-in between the players is more mature, and the team's tactical play is more tacit. Winning the championship last season is enough to show that the team's chemistry is no problem. Now the original team is fighting for the new season, and the backbone of the team is young people, and the strength is increasing.

　　......

　　 In addition to the above four teams, there are several teams that need special attention, and there is a certain possibility to hit the championship.

　　 First of all, the Detroit Pistons, who have been doing well in recent seasons.

　　 This team has changed its coach this season, Larry Brown went to New York, and coach Philip Sanders, who once coached the Timberwolves, came to Motor City.

　　Senders said to the outside world that he will integrate into his offensive system in the Pistons’ iron-blooded defense, so that the Pistons will have offensive defenses, offensive defenses, and both offensive and defensive.

　　 Some commentators said that if the Pistons can really integrate Sanders' offensive system while retaining Brown's defensive system, then the Pistons may indeed be reborn and take it to the next level.

The Pistons’ champion core quintet is still in the team. At the same time, the team also has veterans such as Antonio McDyess, Dale Davis, Tony Delk, Amir Johnson, Jason Maxhill, etc. Added Carlos Delfino, Maurice Evans, Carlos Arroyo and other immediate combat capabilities.

　　 What makes Pistons fans even more excited is that Sanders publicly stated that he would train Darko Milicic like Kevin Garnett.

　　 As the No. 2 pick in 2003, Milicic has been given high expectations by Pistons fans, but he did not perform as expected in the first two years of his career.

　　 James and Anthony, who are in front and behind him, have already played a lot in their respective teams.

　　 James won the championship last season, and Anthony led his team to the playoffs.

　　 As the man sandwiched between the two above, Milicic only had a poor 1.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in the last season...

　　 However, Sanders, who has extensive experience in training young people, is here, and Milicic may have a moment of blooming.

　　......

　　 Next is the Dallas Mavericks, who have been a champion spoiler.

　　 While the Mavericks retained their core lineup from last season, they signed the Kings’ perimeter defensive Titan Doug Christie.

　　 At the same time, this will be the first full season of "Little General" Avery Johnson coaching the Mavericks.

　　 After taking over from Don Nelson's team last season, Johnson led the Mavericks to a 16-2 record to end the regular season. This makes Dallas fans full of expectations for the Mavericks in the new season.

　　......

　　 On November 1, the NBA regular season officially opened!

　　 Cavaliers players will also welcome their championship ring at home.

　　 And their first opponent in the new season is the Golden State Warriors, who is famous for chaos.

　　 The Chinese player Battelle also played for the Golden State Warriors this season. He tried out here this summer and successfully stayed on the team. He signed a 1+1 contract and was the team option for the second year.

　　 To say that the book strength of this Warriors team should not be considered weak.

　　 Jason Richardson has grown into a player with an average of 20+ per game, and his style of play is very strong, and he also has a precise three-pointer, which can logically be cultivated as a core player.

　　 In addition, they have two very powerful point guards, Byron Davis and Derek Fisher.

　　 At the small forward position, they have Mike Dunleavy who shoots the ball accurately.

　　 Starting power forward Troy Murphy is also a player who averaged a double-double per game.

　　 In addition, the team also has a number of bench bandits that other teams can envy.

　　 Michael Pietrus, Monta Ellis, Will Bynum, Ike Diogu and other players.

　　 The overall strength of this Golden State Warriors team is very average. Almost every position has two players with starting strength, but the record has not been mentioned.

　　......

　　 When Shentong finished finishing his jersey and was ready to play, the long-lost "didi" sound finally sounded again.

　　 Old friend, I have been waiting for you for a long time!

　　 entered the basket **** space and found that two missions had been refreshed in the space.

　　 Shentong first opened the first task scroll that was shining with colorful light.

　　{

　　Reward task: Reward for the championship

　　Mission Description: As a fourth-year student, being able to lead the team to defeat the powerful Spurs to win the championship alone, this honor is very proud and encouraging! In order to congratulate the host for winning the finals MVP and championship, the basketball team will send you a special reward. I wish you to make persistent efforts in the new season and successfully defend your title!

　　Task reward: Symphony ring (growth type)

　　 Task status: Pending

　　}

　　 After reading the task description, Shentong immediately accepted the task and put the Symphony Ring in the bag.

　　{

　　Props: Symphony Ring

　　Details: A ring that shines with colorful light and is dazzling.

　　 Effect: All attributes +1 (Every time you win a championship, all attributes will be increased by 1 point)

　　}

　　 Originally, Shentong still had some questions about the "growth type" props. After seeing the effect, he immediately knew what was going on.

　　 The current effect of this magic ring is "all attributes + 1". If you can lead the Cavaliers to defend the title successfully this season, the effect of this ring will become "all attributes + 2".

　　 Very amazing props.

　　 This is also Shentong’s first "growth type" item.

　　 The "Illusive Color Ring" is attached to the doll model, and the upper and lower limits of all attributes on the attribute panel of Shentong have been increased by 1 point.

　　 It's incredible, all attributes are improved. If this is done like the Boston Celtics for 8 consecutive championships, the attributes will not go to heaven!

　　 Even if there is no such exaggeration as 8 consecutive championships, it is not bad to have a 3 consecutive championships, it is really impossible to get two 3 consecutive championships...

　　......

　　 Very happily, after receiving an illusion ring awarded by the Blue God Space before the championship ring, Shentong opened the second mission.

　　{

　　 Main task: The strongest defending champion

　　 Mission description: A good start is half the battle. Perhaps many teams were unconvinced in winning the championship last season, so let's start from the first game, fully show the spirit of the king, let everyone know that you are the strongest defending champion in the past ten years!

　　 Task requirements: Defeat the Warriors with a net victory of more than 20 points.

　　Main line reward: Blue Tile Fragment (Pink Super God)

　　 Task status: Pending

　　}

　　 The description of this task is very in line with Shentong's appetite, but the task requirements are quite difficult.

　　 It’s not difficult to beat this Warriors team, but it’s difficult to win the opening game by 20 points.

　　 Everyone knows that the opening match is very difficult to fight.

　　 The new season starts, no matter what kind of team, they want to make a good start for their new season.

　　 Just when Shentong felt a bit difficult, the task reward immediately made Shentong full of energy.

　　Pink super **** item reward!

　　 This is a reward level that Shentong has never seen before.

　　 Intense curiosity made Shentong have made up his mind to challenge a 20-point margin in any case.

　　 After quickly accepting this task, Shen Tong hurriedly ran to make a general mobilization for the whole team before the game.

　　 It is difficult to achieve a net win of 20 points in the opening game on your own.

　　......

　　 Gund Arena, amidst the cheers and applause of the fans, the Cavaliers players successively took over the championship ring awarded by David Stern.

　　 Although this is Shentong's second championship ring, it is like the first time for Shentong.

　　 Shentong showed his ring to the corner of the audience, and the exquisite face of Nina Dobrev was clearly displayed on the big screen.

　　 There were screams and whistles immediately.

　　 Shentong and Dubrov, the golden boys and girls, have become the darlings of Cleveland.

　　 When the Cavaliers players received the ring, the faces of the Warriors standing aside all showed envy.

　　......

　　 The starting lineups of both sides in this game are:

　　 Cavaliers: Center: Ilgaskas, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner.

　　 Warriors: Center: Biedrins, power forward: Murphy, small forward: Dunleavy, shooting guard: Richardson, point guard: Davis.

Warriors center Biedrins has to introduce him. This player is from Latvia. He is 2.11 meters tall. He was the 11th pick in the first round of 2004. He just turned 18 when he was selected. He played 30 games last season. Started once, averaging 3.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game in 12.8 minutes, fully demonstrating his potential.

　　 In the new season, team coach Mike Montemery entrusted Bidrins with an important task and pushed him to the starting lineup.

　　 In the 5 games of the Summer League, Biedrins averaged 11.5 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, and his performance was very impressive.

　　......

　　 TNT is responsible for the live broadcast of this game.

　　 Before the game started, Barkley began to defend himself.

　　 "It's really not that I specifically asked to broadcast this game~www.ltnovel.com~ It just so happens, you know, Kenny."

　　 Smith: "I don't understand."

　　"..."

　　 This conversation seems to have confirmed the rumors that Barkley wants to broadcast the Cavaliers game.

　　......

　　 Before this game, the Cavaliers players have listened to coach Paul Silas and captain Shen Tong.

　　 Silas’ words are very simple, play your due strength and show everyone the demeanor of the defending champion.

　　Shen Tong directly translated Silas’ words: We have to win the opponent by 20 points.

　　 As the referee's whistle sounded, the game began!

　　 Big Z fought for the ball for the Cavaliers.

　　 The first attack, the ball is handed over to Shen Tong.

　　 Facing Richardson, Shen Tong directly flicked a shot, then changed direction and broke through.

　　Richardson was surprised by the speed, and he soon lost his defensive position half a position behind.

　　 When Biedrins and Murphy stepped forward to make up the defense, Shen Tong sent a freehand back pass.

　　 James, who has completely recovered from injury, slipped from the bottom line and staged a two-handed dunk after receiving the pass!

　　 Barkley couldn't help yelling: "The orangutan dunks, the king is back!"
