The Fifth Point Guard

The deafening "defense" slogan makes it necessary for the Heat players in the away game to shout very loudly before they can hear each other.

But in the face of this scenario, the Heat seem to be well prepared.

Start the game from their strongest point.

Jones crossed the ball to Wade, Wade hoisted to the inside, and ran to the weak side to take away the defender.

In this way, on O'Neal's side, he is the only player with the ball and the defensive player.

Although Gooden and James are on the weak side, they always stare at O'Neal who holds the ball.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal began to play back.

The strong force makes the big z back again and again.

When the time was right, O'Neal quickly leaned on the big z and turned around, and then burst into the basket.

"boom!"

The basket made a "creaking" sound.

O'Neal's dunk almost pulled the rim off.

What a meaty egg onion chicken!

When O'Neal released the hand that pulled the basket, the basket that quickly rebounded to its original position made a "dangdangdang" trembling sound.

Although Big Z has made efforts on the defensive end, it has not been able to limit O'Neal's opening strong attack.

For this ball, Barkley said so.

"Shaquille is undoubtedly the strongest point of the current Heat team. I mean at present, the Heat will be Dwyane's team in the future, but at the moment, the team must focus on Shaquille, although the big z is also full. He is a star and has certain advantages in height, but he and Shaquille are not at the same level."

Smith interrupted and asked: "Someone compares the Cavaliers' big z with the Rockets' Yao Ming. You and Yao Ming are so familiar. Can you comment on the two of them and talk about your opinion of them?"

"Of course it’s okay, Yao Ming, I’m very familiar with it. I wanted to kiss the **** of a donkey back then... ahem... a good guy doesn’t mention the bravery back then... that... ahem... Kenny, what did you ask? Right?"

"Yao Ming and Da Z."

"Oh, yes. Yao Ming's strength is close to that of O'Neal. This can be seen from the matchup in the last few confrontations. The two of them can be 1v1. But the big z and Yao Ming are different, although they are both different. It’s over 2.20 meters, but Yao Ming’s lower limb strength is much stronger than Big Z. At the same time, Big Z’s strength is not as good as Yao Mingqiang, and his flexibility is not as flexible as when Yao Ming first entered the league. Big Z is an excellent center, but Far from being great."

......

After talking and laughing, the Cavaliers began to attack.

Contrary to the Heat, the Cavaliers started from the outside.

Shen Tong holds the ball in one hand and faces Wade sideways.

This pose alone is cool.

Gooden ran out to cover Shentong. Someone on the Heat's side had already reminded Wade loudly.

In the Eastern Conference against Shentong, Wade's experience in defending Shentong has also improved a lot.

The right foot stepped out ahead of time, blocking the position of Gudeng's cover and blocking Shentong's breakthrough route.

Just when everyone thought that Shentong would use the screen to make a breakthrough, this guy stepped down to get the dribble from behind, and then went straight to the spot.

Only Gooden and Wade, who were still fighting each other in front of him, watched Shentong throw the ball out.

"Huh."

Hollow through the net.

2-2

If O'Neal's dunk just now showed his domineering, then Shentong's dry pull shows precision and agility.

"Watching Shentong play ball is a kind of enjoyment." Barkley took a sip of tea water, chewed, and swallowed the tea in his mouth.

"Charles, what do you think of this year's selection of the best team? It is rumored that Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Carter and other players have all missed the first team. Is it that their era has passed?" Smith told Barkley Asked.

"No, no, the era that belonged to them is far from over. It's just that some teams have performed more dazzlingly. Look at the top ten in the scoring list this season, these guys, but they should know that they rely on one person alone. Power has been unable to make waves in this league. At the same time, new-generation players like Shentong and Wade have begun to impact their positions, even... I think Shentong’s level has already reached the level of the big four shooting guards. , If he can lead the team to a championship this season... No, even as long as he reaches the finals, I think Shentong should be ranked above the top four shooting guards. He has already won one championship and two The scoring champion."

......

On the court, O'Neal had the ball in singles and encountered the Cavaliers' triple team.

Big Z, Gooden, and James rounded O'Neill.

Inside out.

Eddie Jones made a fixed-point jumper after catching the ball.

Jones clenched his fists after the goal.

Back then, Kobe was his backup, and Jones in the All-Star period was also brilliant in Los Angeles.

In his heart, Los Angeles chose to trade itself in order to help Kobe Bryant, which made him very upset and unhappy.

This season, former teammate O'Neal was also traded to the Heat because of Kobe and became his current teammate, which made Jones seem to have found his former comrade-in-arms.

He and O'Neal's idea is highly consistent, that is, to lead the Heat to the championship and to mock the management of Los Angeles who despise themselves.

Even with the Lakers, they did not agree on such a high level of goals.

......

The Cavaliers at home play relatively easily.

Shentong's breakthrough score found James on the outside, who shot a three-pointer from a long distance and also hit!

5-4, the Cavaliers overtake by 1 point.

Barkley said: "LeBron's three-pointers this season has been significantly improved compared to last season, which is a good thing for the Cavaliers."

Smith said: "Yes, and as this season progresses, LeBron's three-pointers become more and more accurate, this has to be a gossip."

When he heard that there was gossip, Barkley's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What's the situation?"

"You forget, Reggie Miller, the three-pointer master, is in Cleveland this season."

Upon reminding Smith, Barkley woke up and said: "So LeBron's three-pointer improvement this season has something to do with Reggie?"

Smith nodded and said: "Yes, LeBron specifically found Reggie to practice three-pointers, and Reggie is also very willing to guide the best rookie of last season."

"Oh, why didn't he look for Shen to train three-pointers? Shen Tong's three-pointers are not inferior to Reggie."

Smith said: "You don't understand this. Shentong is the target of LeBron's pursuit. If Shentong becomes LeBron's master, do you think LeBron has a chance to surpass Shentong?"

Smith's words are somewhat implicit, but they have already pointed out James' ambition.

As the No. 1 high school student in the country at that time and a player known as the Son of Heaven, whether he has been willing to be the second master of the team is a question mark.

Even Pippen, who is next to Jordan, was not at ease in Jordan's heyday, but because the first player on the team was Michael Jordan, so Pippen can help him in the second position.

What James planned, no one knew except himself.

After all, in the last time and space, every decision he made was quite sudden...

......

Halfway through the first quarter, the score was 17-16, and the game entered an official timeout.

The opening of the two sides was still in the exploratory stage, and they did not exhaust their efforts.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers replaced Reggie Miller, Eric Snow and Anderson Varejao.

Shentong and James are still on the court.

The Heat also made substitutions, with Shaquille O'Neal down, Mourning up, Rasou Butler up, and Damon Jones down.

Wade came to the point guard position, Butler confronted Shentong.

After the substitution, the two sides let go and fought.

This is also related to the end of big centers like Big Z and O'Neal.

Varejao and Mourning are both flexible and mobile centers, who can mention on-line screens and downs, and can also keep up with the fast break.

......

In terms of organizational ability alone, Snow is better than Wagner.

As soon as he debuted, Snow sent out two consecutive assists.

A pass through the crotch showed Snow's passing skills.

Relying on Varejao's off-the-ball screen, Shentong got rid of Butler after receiving the pass and successfully dunked with both hands.

Another assist went to James.

Snow rushed inward along the right bottom line and turned to the upper line without a chance.

Just when everyone thought Snow was going to reorganize the offense, the scorpion swung his tail and flicked the ball backwards.

This trick does not depend on how subtle the pass behind the person is!

When everyone's eyes were still on Snow, James had already hit the bottom line on the other side, and he was unguarded after receiving the ball, and once again sent a two-handed slam dunk!

O'Neal sitting off the court was unhappy.

"Hey, Alenzo, are you acting as a substitute for me like this? The basket is about to be dunked by those guys!"

Hearing O'Neal's scolding off the court, Mourning's face couldn't hold back.

Back then, he was also an inside titan with the same reputation as the four major centers, and even the title of the fifth center. Now O'Neal is mercilessly accused, which makes Mourning a little annoyed.

But as a member of the Heat, Mourning can't vent this anger on his teammates, and O'Neal is still the boss of this team, so he can only find opportunities to vent on his opponents.

......

Wade straddled the dribble while swinging his left hand, walking very strangely, and instantly got rid of Snow's defense.

This kind of breakthrough action in dribbling is also one of the reasons why Wade is called the "Flash".

With this start-up advantage of leading a small half step, coupled with the original speed, Wade's breakthrough is indeed very sharp.

In the blink of an eye, Wade had broken through to the basket.

"Hey!"

The sound comes first before the person arrives.

Anyone familiar with him knows that this is the voice of the non-professional movie actor Varejao.

However, Varejao is not a complete bluff, to be able to get the Brazilian league mvp, there is still something.

With a roar like a pig, shaking the explosive head of epilepsy, there is really an aura of ignoring his own life and death.

Although he could not directly cover Wade's layup, he did interfere.

In order to avoid Varejao's blocking, Wade switched the ball to his left hand in the air, then dodged Varejao's air interception and threw a cricket ball.

The ball rebounds after hitting the board, hitting the front of the basket and popping out.

Varejao made a successful defense!

However, the smile on Varejao's face has not yet fully bloomed. Alenzo Mourning has already grabbed the ball that just popped out of the basket with both hands and completed the two-handed dunk!

Mourning, who was able to make up, was already waving his right hand in the air while hanging the basket with his left hand.

After landing, Mourning clenched his fists and placed them in front of his body, his arms violently violently, and he was muttering something, looking very excited.

The ball was considered a vent to Mourning.

......

After high-fiving Wade, Mourning even retreated to his own half, still encouraging his teammates with excitement.

This supplement boosted the morale of the Heat.

In contrast, the momentum of the Cavaliers seems to be suppressed by the Heat.

After Snow quietly dribbled to the frontcourt, seeing Shen Tong ran to the top of the arc, he immediately understood.

After receiving the pass, Shen Tong reversed his patience to look for opportunities before, and instantly turned around Butler and rushed directly inside.

"Get out of the way, give me this ball!"

Mourning yelled, with the momentum of making up just now, he wanted to hold back Shen Tong's attack.

He wants to hit the Cavaliers on both offense and defense!

Shen Tong didn't say a word, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and he leaped high to meet Mourning.

Mourning yelled and jumped, rounding his arms to get a shot in the air.

As the distance between the two gradually approached, Mourning noticed something wrong.

Shen Tong flew higher and higher, but Mourning's body had already begun to fall.

After the collision of the body in the air, Mourning was directly hit by Shen Tong's momentum, and lost his balance after landing, staggered back and forth, and then sat down on the ground.

Shen Tong seemed to be stuck in the air after hitting Mourning, with a powerful ability to stay in the air that completely violated Newton's theorem of physical motion, he completed a sideways dunk in the air!

Sitting on the ground, Mourning's face was ashen.

After landing, Shen Tong glanced at Mourning with disdain.

At that moment, Mourning felt heartbroken.

Those eyes contain disdain, indifference, murderous... and even a hint of naughty...

Mourning felt that he was indeed old...

The word "retirement" really appeared in Mourning's mind for the first time.

Heat coach Stan Van Gundy called a timeout.

Shen Tong, who completed the top ten goals of the day, was surrounded by teammates to celebrate.

In the live broadcast room, Barkley said: "Kenny, did you find out? The Cavaliers are very united this season. I like the team atmosphere very much."

Smith replied: "Yes, the combat effectiveness of a team, in fact, in addition to the strength of the coach and the players itself, it also reflects the atmosphere of the team's locker room. Whether a team is united can be reflected in the game itself, 04 The Lakers in 2010 are the most vivid example."

Mourning had just started fighting for the Heat with a little bit of momentum, but before it became a climate, she was pressed down by Shen Tong.

This is like the little brother who just felt a little bit, being poured down by a basin of ice water, the feeling immediately disappeared.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Heat by 5 points 27-22. Shentong scored 8 points and O'Neal scored 6 points and 4 rebounds.

......

In the second quarter, the two sides began to enter the game formally.

Bayonet-fighting incidents happen from time to time on the court~www.NovelMTL.com~ The intensity of physical confrontation is gradually increasing, followed by a decrease in hit rate and viewing ability.

Shen Tong started to change his style of play after two consecutive breakthroughs, double-teaming and then missed shots.

Relying on Wade and taking advantage of his height, Shen Tong succeeded in fighting back and forth.

After turning around, Wade had no way to make a fall-back jumper, whether to enter or not to make it depends entirely on Shentong's own shooting touch.

In this quarter, Shen Tong made 7 shots and hit 4 goals, of which 1 was a three-pointer, plus 6 free throws and 5 of them, and scored 14 points in a single quarter and scored 22 points in the first half.

Compared to the insolvency of the Cavaliers perimeter player Shen Tong, the Heat's O'Neal is also unstoppable at the basket.

At the end of the first half, O'Neal also scored a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds, in addition to 3 assists and 2 blocks.

The score of the two teams is 47-44.

The game gradually entered a white-hot stage.
