The Fifth Point Guard

Shen Tong waved his hand.

James stepped up to pick and roll.

At the end of the game, the Rockets adopted man-to-man tactics to press Shentong and James.

Silas' tactic was for this situation.

Use the pick-and-roll cooperation between Shentong and James to create a scoring opportunity for one of them.

James blocked Mobley, and Shen Tong took the ball around James.

Jim Jackson switches defenses, which is a fixed routine for pick-and-roll defense.

James quickly moved laterally, and Shen Tong made a gesture to score the ball.

After pre-judging, Jackson immediately returned to defense in front of James.

At the moment, Mobley has not defended in place.

Shentong immediately accelerated with the ball and passed the Rockets' encirclement.

Facing Yao Ming's defense, Shen Tong took off early, and Yao Ming also jumped up.

At the last moment of the game, the direct confrontation between two Chinese players!

Shen Tong lifted the ball high, facing Yao Ming's block, and made a high-flying shot.

The ball flew past Yao Ming's fingertips, crossed a towering parabola, and landed in the net accurately!

97-96!

The Cavaliers overtook the score, and there were only 8 seconds left before the end of the game.

Shen Tong was surrounded by the Cavaliers players.

James strangled Shentong's neck with his biceps, which were not particularly strong at present, to express his blessing.

Boozer and Big Z were condescending, stroking the back of Shen Tong's head.

McGinnis kept chattering beside Shen Tong as if he was singing Rap, but he couldn't make out what he said.

The fans at the scene cheered and celebrated Shentong's wonderful goal just now.

This is a quasi-lore!

Next, let's look at the Rockets' final attack.

The timeout ends and players from both sides reappear.

According to the defensive arrangement, Francis and Mobley were heavily defended.

There is no one around Cato: "It's so deserted"

Jackson is in charge of the serve.

The referee blows his whistle.

The Cavaliers' defense is very targeted.

Francis and Mobley had no chance to catch the ball under the defense of McGinnis, James and Shentong.

"here!"

Yao Ming stood near the small penalty area, stuck Big Z behind him, and opened his hands for the ball.

Seeing that the 5-second violation was about to occur, Jackson had no time to hesitate and quickly passed the ball to the inside.

Yao Ming hit the big Z on his back after receiving the ball, and the countdown began.

James also stepped forward to double-team.

Without a better opportunity, Yao Ming chose to go it alone, turned around to the baseline and made a mid-range shot.

The shot goes, the ball goes in.

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

James opened his hands and looked innocent, chasing the referee for an explanation.

The ball turned out to be 2+1!

When the Cavaliers players were stunned, the Rockets were already celebrating.

Francis and Mobley even double hung on Yao Ming's body.

Cato also wanted to jump on it, but he had to weigh his own weight and Yao Ming's body.

The referee doesn't care whether you are the No. 1 pick or not, and completely ignores James' argument.

Shen Tong put his hands on his hips, with a melancholy expression on his face.

Sun Zhengping: "Through the slow motion, it was shown that James was indeed fouling the ball. Just when Yao Ming turned around to shoot and raised his hand, when James made a steal, he made a downward movement, and his hand clearly hit Yao Ming's wrist. Definitely a foul."

Zhang Weiping: "That's right, there's nothing to argue about this being a foul. At this time, James is probably more regretful about his defense just now. In fact, it's better to take off and block the ball than to steal the ball. After all, he was very far away from Yao Ming at that time." It's close."

Yao Ming made a free throw.

97-99.

This scene seems familiar.

Shen Tong had seen the same scene before.

It was a regular season game on November 7, 2008.

The Rockets played against the Trail Blazers.

In the same position, Yao Ming turned around and made a shot. Roy fouled and scored 2+1, and the Rockets overtook the score.

At this moment, it was James who fouled, and after Yao Ming's 2+1, the Rockets also overtook the score.

Moreover, the time is also only 0.8 seconds left!

At this time, a three-pointer is needed.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

The game restarts.

Boozer serves, while the other four players standing on the court are James, Shentong, Piakowski and Wagner.

With four players who can shoot three-pointers, the Cavaliers' intentions are very obvious.

With the whistle of the referee, the players who were standing still immediately took action.

Using the cover of Piakowski and Wagner, Shentong got rid of the Rockets' defense.

Instead ran out of opportunities.

Boozer immediately passed the ball, and Shen Tong took the ball one step away from the three-point line and missed a jumper, so he jumped up and shot.

The "super bouncing three-pointer" suddenly appeared at this moment!

Just when Shen Tong raised his right hand, ready to meet the lore.

"when!"

This sound shattered Shen Tong's confidence.

The ball bounced high off the back of the rim, and the game-ending whistle sounded.

The Rockets defended the last attack of the Cavaliers and narrowly beat their opponents away by two points 99-97!

Sun Zhengping: "Oh, it's such a pity that the ball was almost scored. It can only be said that it was a bit unlucky."

Zhang Weiping: "The Rockets maintained their undefeated record this season. While achieving four consecutive victories in the opening game, they gave the Cavaliers their first defeat of the season."

Sun Zhengping: "It is undeniable that the two players from China played very well in this game. Shen Tong hit a key goal, and Yao Ming hit a quasi-lore at the last moment. This is really a wonderful game. This game Only in the true sense can it be called the Chinese Derby.”

Zhang Weiping: "That's right, no matter which side wins this game, it is something that makes our Chinese fans happy. Why? The main reason is that we have such high-level players playing in the NBA. The level of basketball will also get higher and higher.”

Sun Zhengping: "Speaking of which, the Chinese Basketball Association has already negotiated with Shentong's agent team on the matter of Shentong representing the Chinese men's basketball team. The communication between the two sides is very pleasant. It is reported that in the next intercontinental level competition, Shentong may wear the national team. shirt."

Zhang Weiping: "I am very much looking forward to the arrival of this day, let's see what the Chinese men's basketball team will achieve."

Sun Zhengping: "Everyone, this is the end of the live broadcast of this match. See you next time."

Zhang Weiping: "Goodbye."

Shen Tong sat in front of the locker, wondering why his tactics had such a limited impact on the Rockets in the second half.

Judging from the reaction at the beginning of the third quarter, the Rockets were almost blown away by the Cavaliers who suddenly accelerated their pace.

But after returning from the timeout, the Rockets immediately stabilized their position and made several defensive counterattacks in the same way.

Shen Tong closed his eyes.

Ok.

correct.

The Rockets at that time were no longer Tang Shuai's Rockets, but Van Gundy's Rockets.

The player is not the trident of Yao Ming, Francis, and Mobley, but the MM combination of Yao Mai.

At that time, Yao Ming had already gained weight, and his flexibility was greatly reduced compared to before.

Shen Tong opened his eyes.

Although this game failed, it gave Shentong a revelation, or an answer.

If the Rockets keep playing with the current lineup, will they play better than that time and space?
