The Fifth Point Guard

"Fifth shooting guard new ( to find the latest chapter!

Putting the All-Star Game MVP trophy on the floor at the door, Shentong began to quickly undress one by one.

The heart rate at this moment is comparable to any moment on the court.

Nina Dobrev was lying on the soft big bed not far away.

She was wearing a soft and wide JK outfit, the belt was not fastened, and she dragged a long length on the floor in front of the bed.

White and tender legs were exposed from JK's short skirt, dazzling under the dim light in the room.

Fluffy hair, clear autumn waves.

Dubrov's gentle smile appeared in Shen Tong's eyes.

She looked like an elf falling into the world.

And now...

Shen Tong walked forward to Dubrov.

Strong humans are about to invade cute elves.

Dubrov gave a "hum" and was picked up by Shen Tong.

Then, spring in the room...

......

At noon the next day, Shentong and Dubrov flew back to Cleveland by plane.

When Dubrov limped to the door with Shentong's support, Dubrov turned his head and gave Shentong a charming look, but his mouth pursed slightly.

Shen Tong smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, Nina, I didn't know why yesterday, but I felt that I was physically strong..."

"Humph."

Dubrov turned around, opened the door and entered the room.

Shen Tong got on the sports car and remembered what Sister Hua said.

Although Dubrov developed like a 20-year-old college student, her real age is only 16 years old!

It is still developing.

At this moment, Shentong is a bit regretful. He knew that he shouldn't patronize the sprint. He should dribble more, get a 40% discount, and use the hormones in his palm to stimulate Dubrev's development...

......

After the All-Star Game, the schedule entered the sprint phase of each team as usual.

All teams that hope to make the playoffs are doing their best.

After the end of the All-Star Weekend, the Cleveland Cavaliers will continue to visit the West.

Their first game was the Utah Jazz.

This is the first time they have played against the Jazz this season.

Here, they will meet former partners.

Carlos Boozer.

......

Today's Utah Jazz has completely entered the stage of reconstruction.

From 1983 to 2002, the Jazz, which reached the playoffs for 19 consecutive years, did not continue the record last season.

The retirement of Stockton and Hornacek, the departure of Malone, and the injury of Harprin made the Jazz miss the playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

But in fact, their performance is remarkable.

With 42 wins and 40 losses over 50% of the winning percentage, they didn't make the playoffs just because they were in the strong west.

With such performance, they slapped the face of the experts who predicted that they would be the bottom of the league at the beginning of the season.

The most important point is that although the players have left one after another, the coach Jerry Sloan, who has coached the Jazz for 16 years, is still here.

In 16 years, this time of witnessing the loyal love between Yang Guo and Xiaolong nuv also witnessed the greatness of Sloan.

He set the record for the longest coaching time among the four major American sports leagues.

In 16 years coaching the Jazz, the team's winning percentage reached a staggering 62.7%, he is also the sixth-ranked coach in league history.

Sloan is a great coach. Many people think that Malone and Stockton made Sloan, but the fact is that Sloan's greatness does not require anyone to achieve it.

The Jazz in the transition period last season is proof.

According to the characteristics of the team, Sloan adopted an overall basketball style last season, with Kirilenko and other strong points, which has made many teams unable to parry.

In the new season, Sloan has more talented players to choose from.

In the summer transfer market before the start of the season, the Jazz are definitely one of the biggest winners.

They first renewed their contracts with team players Girisek and Arroyo, then brought in Boozer, Okur and Collins, and their internal strength rose sharply.

Before the start of the season, the team spread good news again, and Harprin returned from injury.

In the post-Malone and Stockton era, the team’s starting five this season are Okur, Boozer, Kirilenko, Girichek and Arroyo.

Okur, who came to the Utah Jazz from the Detroit Pistons, is the team's starting center. He is 2.11 meters tall and has a three-pointer.

In the two seasons with the Pistons, Okur's three-pointers all exceeded 30%.

Although his untimely style of play seems a bit strange, it is precisely because of his unconventional style of play that often makes big centers such as Yao Ming and O'Neal miserable on the defensive end.

Defend, you will lose your position under the basket and you can't keep up.

Don't prevent it, he can really get in.

I think that the Rockets' inside line was tortured to death by this way of playing outside...

From the Pistons to the Jazz, Okur averaged 12.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, an overall improvement in his performance compared to last season.

He also secured the center position of the Jazz.

Jerry Sloan even tailored a set of outside tactics for him because of his three-pointer.

The starter of the power forward was Carlos Boozer.

The tough guy who also played for the Cavaliers last season.

But for money, Boozer chose Utah.

More importantly, his rough appearance really resembles Karl Malone.

However, in the Jazz, Boozer experienced a period of pain.

As the core of the team, he got plenty of offensive shots, and his scoring increased from 15.5 to 17.8, but his rebounds fell by 2.4, and his defensive steals and blocks also fell.

Some Jazz players mocked him for getting a big contract, but Boozer quickly responded to fans who questioned him with a double 20 performance.

In short, in the Jazz, Boozer's space is indeed greater, but he is still not forgiven by Cleveland fans.

After all, he just ran away silently.

In the case of a verbal agreement with the Cavaliers.

Kirilenko's performance on the defensive end this season is very impressive.

The 3.3 blocks per game is comparable to all the inside defensive champions in the league.

He is also an alternative in the league.

Five data such as 5 is he typed out.

After signing a major contract during the offseason, Kirilenko also proved his worth worthy of this contract in the new season.

He averaged 15.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals, and 3.3 blocks per game. He was almost omnipotent.

It was this wonderful performance that put Matt Harprin, who had returned from injury, on the bench.

The starting shooting guard is Gordon Girisec.

This guy was severely humiliated by Shentong last season.

His goal in this game is simple.

I want revenge!

After Girisek, there is still a Titan, Raja Bell, sitting on the bench.

Although he is a substitute player, Bell has performed very well this season. With an average of 12.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and a 40.3% three-point shooting per game, Bell has begun to threaten Girisek's starting position.

But this kind of healthy competition is something that every team's coach is happy about.

As for the point guard, there is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is the king.

Carlos Arroyo, a non-draft player from Puerto Rico, is the starter of this team.

Arroyo, who has experienced two teams in the first year of his career, finally found a sense of belonging with the Jazz.

In the Jazz's second season, Arroyo was promoted to the starting position by Sloan because no one was available.

Arroyo also responded to Sloan with amazing progress.

The scoring average has increased by 10 points compared to the previous season!

The rebounds increased by 2 and the assists increased by 4.

However, the characteristic of Arroyo is that his performance is not stable.

It was almost unstoppable when it was straight, and it was thrown away from the three-point line.

When it doesn't go well, he can't make an open shot.

This kind of nerve-knife performance is actually not what Sloan's stability-advocating coach expects.

This season, Sloan is also fully tapping the potential of the team, allowing Keith McLeod, who is a free transfer from the Timberwolves, to share point guard time with Arroyo.

I have to say that Sloan's eyes are harsh.

Mike Riod's scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals have been upgraded from last season's 2.7 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 steals, to 7.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.2 steals.

With the results of last season as a reference, experts generally believe that the Jazz in the new season is fully capable of reaching the playoffs.

But to this day, the Jazz are only ranked tenth in the West, which does not match the expectations at the beginning of the season.

However, Jazz fans do not want the team they support to not make the playoffs for two consecutive years, including the Jazz players.

After a full rest during the All-Star weekend, they will strive to win every game in the second half of the season.

Sloan said in an interview: "If we want to make the playoffs, there is no way to retreat. This is how we play in the Western Conference. If we don't make it, we retreat. One goal. I know my lads can do it. As long as I help them as much as I can, we can beat any opponent."

As a result, the Cleveland Cavaliers came to challenge and became a big test for Sloan and the Jazz.

......

Before the start of the game, the basket **** space refreshed a game task.

{

Main quest: Horse riding in Utah

Mission description: The angry knights came with grievances, and they trampled Utah with horseshoes, and let the rebels regret it! I would rather let the people of the world lose me than let the people of the world lose me!

Task requirements: 15 points or more over the Jazz

Main line reward: steal badge (purple epic level)

Task status: pending

}

Would you rather I take the world and let the world take me?

If this sentence was placed when Shentong was 10 years old, it would be a sniff.

Most people who have seen the Three Kingdoms have experienced such a mental journey.

When I was ignorant, I liked Liu Bei very much.

I felt that if I were a monarch, I would definitely be a Mingjun like Liu Bei.

But when you step into the society and experience the severe beatings of the society, you gradually recognize the reality and your mentality will also change.

At this time, due to different reasons, many people will change from loving Liu Bei to Cao Cao.

Only a hero like Cao Cao is worthy of his ambition.

Of course, many people start to change because their interests and hobbies are similar to those of Cao Cao in adulthood.

......

After receiving the task, Shentong felt that the task was actually quite difficult.

On the NBA stage, no team dared to say that they would win by 15 points before the game.

After all, the players here are geniuses. In the case of outbreaks, upset games often appear.

But for the main task, Shentong must fight hard.

After all, this is the first time Shentong has seen "badge" type rewards.

......

Before the start of the game, the two sides announced the starting list.

Unexpectedly, Jerry Sloan put Raja Bell in the starting lineup, while Girisek was placed on the bench.

Some of Sloan's thoughts can be seen from this substitution alone.

This substitution must be an adjustment made to Shentong, wanting to be used as the tougher Bell to defend the powerful Shentong.

But it doesn't matter to the Cavaliers.

I am accustomed to the defensive arrangements made by each team against Shentong.

What they have to do is simple, is to set their own rhythm.

The starting lists of both parties are as follows:

Cavaliers: Big Z, Gooden, James, Shentong, Wagner.

Jazz: Okur, Boozer, Kirilenko, Bell, Arroyo.

Before the game, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The players on both sides did not behave friendly to each other.

There are many reasons for this.

For example, there are no star players in the Jazz who have made good friends with Shentong and James.

For example, Shentong humiliated them here last season.

For example, Boozer's "sorrowful words to Cleveland fans" before the game.

"I don't welcome them. I found the feeling of home here, and here I have the room to give full play. The moment I joined the Utah Jazz, Cleveland has nothing to do with me. If they are coming, I will There is only one thing to do, as a Jazz player, lead the team to defeat them!"

Obviously, these words hurt many people's hearts, and also made the Cavaliers players who left without a word to Boozer feel disgusted.

......

Carlos was chewing gum with his hands on his hips, standing with Gooden, staring at the basketball that the referee was about to toss, without even looking at Shentong or James.

As the ball was tossed high, Big Z and Okur stood on tiptoes to scramble for the ball.

Although Big Z hardly bounces, but Okur is not.

In this case, Big Z's height and arm length play a certain advantage.

After the ball was assigned to Wagner, the Cavaliers attacked first.

The first offense at the start of the game, no doubt.

After Shen Tong and James crossed positions on the outside, Shen Tong came to the right side of the penalty area.

James is standing next to the right three-point line. After receiving Wagner's pass, he hit the ground and handed it to Shentong~www.NovelMTL.com~ At this moment, it is Raja Bell, who was given high hopes by Sloan, who defended Shentong.

With his left body against Bell, his right hand slapped the ball on the floor a few times, then his left shoulder swayed, then he turned around with his right foot as the axis and took off.

Facing Bell's block, Shen Tong threw the ball backwards.

"Huh."

The ball hits hollow.

Shen Tong couldn't help shaking his wrist.

Although there is no "vision" that glows blue in the All-Star Game, he still feels hot.

On the Jazz's side, the first offense was given to Boozer...
