The Fifth Point Guard

"Nina, this guy called Shen Tong is not too bad. Look, didn't they lose to the Raptors?"

"No, Maya, this is just a game, and I believe that the Nets will reach the Finals this year!"

"Okay, okay, for Alexander's sake, I'm not as knowledgeable as you." Maya said to Dubov with a smile.

"Hmph." Nina Dobrev pouted angrily.

"A flight from Toronto to New Jersey is coming"

Shen Tong stepped out of the chartered plane, breathing the sea breeze from the New York River.

It feels so good to be home!

"The following is a missing person announcement. Francisco, 15, left home in the early morning of the day before yesterday. He was wearing a light blue sportswear and red Adidas sweatpants. He has short hair and glasses. Please find the boy's identity." Residents of New Jersey contacted the teenager’s parents in time, phone number: 01010101 (slightly hurried middle-aged female voice) Francesco, if you can hear this broadcast, please go home immediately, mom did not do it right, mom didn’t I should stop you from playing basketball, my dad and I are waiting for you to come home (sob)”

Jefferson, who was walking behind Shentong, said after listening to the radio: "Young people nowadays are really worrying. They run away from home every now and then. They are 15 years old. Why are they so immature?"

Shen Tong immediately followed Jefferson's words and said: "Yes, that's right. Some people have already played in the NBA, and they still hang on the Internet every day. What kind of online dating, the key is that they don't repent many times. You say it's not because they are full. ?"

Jefferson: "."

Yep, deflated again.

"Quick, quick, this is the last group!" Derek Allen kept clapping his hands, trying to get the exhausted players to focus.

Allen blew the whistle as Jefferson scrambled for the final lap in an alligator crawl.

"Okay, this group is over!"

"what--"

The team seemed to hear an angelic voice, shouted one after another, and fell to the floor.

Shentong is too big, almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

The alligator crawl is a particular style of push-up that is rapidly spreading in popularity in the American fitness industry.

This particular push-up has obvious fitness and strength-enhancing effects.

It can not only exercise your upper limbs, abdomen, and waist in the traditional sense, but also the outer pectoralis major, biceps, front deltoid, and triceps in terms of musculature, and more importantly, it can make your whole body They all moved, like a crocodile crawling on the ground.

Since it requires the mobilization of almost all the muscles of the body, this exercise is quite exhausting to train.

Although Byron Scott did not pursue the team's responsibility for the loss after the game, the first training session back in New Jersey was far more intense than before.

Jefferson, who was the last to complete the action, lay on his back on the floor, gasped and said, "In his grandma's opinion, this ball really can't be. You can't lose casually. You have to lose a few more games, not yet. Don’t let the brothers be practiced and useless.”

"Huh..." Shen Tong propped his hands on the floor and got up with great difficulty. It has been a long time since he felt exhausted in the training class.

Seeing the players lying on the floor get up one after another, Allen suddenly said: "By the way, tomorrow seems to be a free rest time, no training."

"Yes, Derek, I need to get a good night's sleep. Three consecutive away games plus today's training, I'm going crazy." Temar Slee, a rookie who stayed on the team this year, yelled.

"Temal, you disappoint me so much, you are the worst rookie class I have ever brought!" Allen cursed.

Jefferson was shocked, thinking that he seemed to have heard this before.

"Didi."

Everyone looked at Alan who blew the whistle in astonishment.

"Since tomorrow is a rest day, the last action is the crocodile crawling, let's add another set of actions."

"Boom."

The players of the Nets fell to the ground in an instant

A rare day off.

When Shen Tong got up at 7:00 in the morning, Jefferson was still soundly asleep.

After an hour of running around the street, Shen Tong returned to the apartment, and Jefferson was still sound asleep.

After placing the breakfast bought during the run on the table, Shen Tong checked the time and went out.

"Boom~~~~~"

There was a roaring sound from the exhaust pipe, Shen Tong put on his helmet and kicked the accelerator.

A Harley rides on a quiet street.

Although already worth tens of millions, Shen Tong still lives with Jefferson in a dilapidated apartment not far from the training hall.

However, Shentong still fulfilled his little wish a little bit.

That is to buy a Harley motorcycle.

This is a Sportster (sports car series) Harley motorcycle, which is Shentong's favorite motorcycle type.

When riding a Harley, stepping on the accelerator, listening to the roar of the motorcycle, and feeling the feeling of cutting through the wind with your body, at that moment, the world seems to be under your feet.

Baima Park was not too far from Shentong's apartment. After driving for about 20 minutes, Shentong arrived at the agreed place.

Just after parking the motorcycle, a pair of soft hands ghostly covered Shen Tong's eyes.

Shen Tong smiled and held the soft and boneless little hand, turned around and hugged Avril in his arms.

Taking advantage of today's rest day, two busy couples came to Baima Park for a date.

Today, Avril Lavigne is wearing a white casual outfit, looking lively, lovely and beautiful.

"Where are we going to play today?" Avril Lavigne, who was rarely relaxed, embraced Shen Tong, and immediately looked forward to the upcoming itinerary.

Shen Tong glanced at Hilton not far away, quickly looked away, pointed to the amusement park not far away in Baima Park and said, "It seems that there is a performance by the Dark Moon Circus there today, why don't we go and have fun together."

"Okay!" Avril immediately agreed.

For Shentong's requests and proposals, Avril Lavigne almost never refused.

"After playing this, I still want to watch a movie. By the way, I heard that "Hero" by your Chinese director Zhang Yimou is released today. Let's watch this together later, shall we?"

"Huh? Watch it again?"

"Why watch it again? This movie is only released today."

"Ah, it's okay, I mean, let's go after playing for a while."

There are so many games in the Darkmoon Faire.

The two young people with childlike innocence had a great time playing inside.

Tank battles, shooting games, roller coasters, torch throwing, and more

Shen Tong didn't expect Avril Lavigne to be so good at playing, and almost played all the games in the Dark Moon Faire.

By the time the two came out of the circus, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

"Shin, are you hungry?"

Shen Tong's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "I'm not hungry."

"Okay, let's go to the movies now, and if you're hungry, you can have a burger and fries."

"Ah good"

After coming out of the circus, the two deliberately dressed up to prevent being recognized by outsiders.

After all, the two of them can be regarded as moderate wrists now.

After buying tickets, waiting and movie time, about 3 hours later, Shen Tong and Avril finally came out of the movie theater.

At night, the lights are dimmed.

Before Shen Tong could speak, Avril's stomach suddenly let out a "cuckoo" cry.

Seeing Avril sticking out her tongue mischievously and making a face at herself, Shen Tong said angrily, "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay, I want to eat Chinese food today."

"Let's go, roll pancakes with scallions."

"What kind of dish is this, is it delicious?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Hate!"

At 9 o'clock in the evening, it seems that today is completely dead.

Generally, Shen Tong and Avril Lavigne's appointment time is until 9:00 pm, because Avril Lavigne will return to New York that night, and there are usually announcements and recordings the next day.

Shen Tong and Avril hugged each other reluctantly, ready to say goodbye.

Gently dabbling on Avril's lips, Shen Tong said with a smile and some reluctance: "Avril, go back early, it's getting late."

Avril nodded with her index finger, raised her head and smiled at Shen Tong, and said, "I have no plans for tomorrow morning, so I don't have to go back tonight."

! ! !

Heaven, earth, which immortal god has seen through my mind!

"Aren't you forced?"

"Not at all forced."

Five minutes later, Shen Tong practically dragged Avril Lavigne all the way to the front desk of the Hilton Hotel.

"Open a suite, thank you."

Inside the presidential suite.

The wind is roaring, the horse is screaming.

Shentong is roaring, Shentong is roaring.

The grass in the river is ten feet high, and the grapes in Hedong and Hebei are powdered.

There are really many heroes who climb mountains and climb mountains.

Simmons' upstream attack athletes are heroes!

Picked up the Chinese cannon.

Wielding a broadsword and spear.

Four times a night, five times a night,

Six times a night, seven times a night!

The next morning, Avril Lavigne left almost limping, her voice still a little hoarse.

But even so, Avril did not blame Shen Tong, but was full of peach blossoms and was full of energy.

Three days after the last away game against the Raptors, the Nets, which had been fully rested and adjusted, finally ushered in the most powerful opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers.

After losing 2-4 to the Lakers in the finals last season, the entire Nets team took a deep breath and prepared to give the Lakers a good look, but thinking and doing it are not the same thing.

There are many teams in the current league who want to beat the Lakers, but in the end they are all rubbed on the ground by the Lakers.

With 1 win and 2 losses at the start, the Lakers quickly adjusted their status, reversed the decline, and came to New Jersey with the aftermath of 3 consecutive victories.

The New Jersey Nets just lost to the sudden outbreak of Vince Carter and his Raptors in the last game.

The state of the two teams at the beginning of the season seems to have dropped at this moment.

But in any case, the two teams that won the championship last season will definitely attract everyone's attention when they meet for the first time this season.

In this game, TNT's two old partners will conduct live commentary.

After the Lakers won three consecutive championships, they are also unknowingly changing.

In the regular season of the 99-00, 00-01, and 01-02 seasons, Shaquille O'Neal ranked first in scoring in the team, followed by Kobe Bryant in second place.

O'Neal's average scoring in the three seasons was 29.7 points, 28.7 points, and 27.2 points, and Kobe's average scoring points in the three seasons were 22.5 points, 28.5 points, and 25.2 points.

But this season, Bryant and O'Neal switched positions.

Kobe currently ranks first in the team with an average of 30 points per game, while O'Neal ranks second with 27.5 points per game.

This is quite subtle.

For a long time, when it comes to the boss of the Lakers, everyone's first impression must be O'Neal, but as Kobe's role in the team becomes more and more important, the statement of the boss of the Lakers began to become ambiguous and vague.

Kobe, unwilling to be inferior to O'Neal, has begun to covet the position of the team leader.

In fact, this season has officially become the beginning of the two people's struggle for power.

The Lakers have played 6 games so far this season and have tried 5 different starting lineups. Except for O'Neal, Kobe and Fisher, Rick Fox, Devin George, Robert Horry, Samaki -Walker and Medvedenko have both served as the team's starters.

It seems that Lakers coach Jackson wants to find a team lineup that can maximize its strength in the existing lineup.

In this game, Jackson made a new starting lineup.

Nicknamed "Mad Dog" Mark - Madsen was Jackson in the starting lineup for the first time this season.

Madsen, who is 2.06 meters tall, will serve as the team's starting power forward.

Last season, Madsen scored 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.4 blocks in an average of 11 minutes per game. The data is not good, but Madsen’s role on the court is not all represented by the data. So simple.

On the court, Madsen is a tenacious and hard-working totem.

The nickname "Mad Dog" is not for nothing.

In order to fight for the ball on the floor, Madsen can rise up like a vicious dog, desperately pounce on the ball rolling on the floor, regardless of whether he will be injured.

The last guy with this mental quality was Dennis Rodman.

Obviously, it makes sense for Jackson to arrange for Madsen to start.

He hoped that the players, in this game against the Nets, with a tenacious and hard-working spirit, defeated their opponents away and took away the victory.

Under the signal of the referee, the two starting five tigers debuted.

For the Nets, Mutombo, Martin, Jefferson, Shentong and Kidd played.

For the Lakers, O'Neal, Madsen, Fox, Kobe, and Fisher played.

Before the game, Shen Tong put on the Guiling Finger Glove on his left hand and the broken Tathagata ring on his right hand, and walked onto the field with his teammates with his head held high.

{

Props: Broken Tathagata Ring (Purple Epic)

Details: No matter how powerful you are, you can't escape Wuzhi Mountain from Tathagata.

Boy, do you know that there is a palm technique that falls from the head.

The ring worn by Tathagata when performing the five-fingered palm technique was accidentally lost. After absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it was obtained by Basket, the basket god.

Although the ring itself has been broken due to the long time, the energy contained in it is still enough to support a whole game!

Effect: After wearing it, the ability to block shots is greatly improved! (can only be used once)

}

There is the fingertip of Guiling in attack, and the ring of Tathagata in defense.

In this game, Shentong wants to win, and by the way, he has to meet the task requirement of blocking 5 games in a single game.

In the studio, Barkley and Smith were familiar partners.

Barkley said: "This game makes me feel like I have returned to this year's finals. The two familiar teams, the Lakers represent hegemony, and the Nets represent vitality. We will wait and see who can win this victory."

Smith: No, why did this guy steal my opening speech? This is trying to grab power!
