The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 524 Shentong’s famous scene of stepping on the ball (chapter 4.1k)

In the post-Marlon Stockton era, the team is eager to find a new pick-and-roll duo.

  This is a kind of obsession of the team.

  It's as if the Houston Rockets are very keen to find a tall center.

  Even with outside combinations like Francis and Mobley, Houstonians have never forgotten their "tradition."

  So when Sloan thought Boozer could be dug, the Jazz also took a lot of thought to "steal" Boozer from Cleveland to Utah.

  Here, Boozer kept his beard.

  His CIC and personal image are indeed somewhat similar to Karl Malone's back then.

   is just the current Arroyo, not in line with Sloan’s point guard role.

  The point guard he hopes is a player who shoots steadily, mainly assists, and is keen on pick-and-rolls, not a nerve knife like Arroyo.

  So far, Boozer is the core of the team's key cultivation.

  In fact, this is also one of the reasons why he moved freely.

  Even Kirilenko, who played the brightest in the Jazz last season, had to give up the team's top spot.

  Boozer’s play style is a bit different from last season when he played for the Cavaliers.

  His post-up singles became similar.

  There is no doubt that this must be Sloan’s role.

   hitting Gooden with his back, Boozer easily smashed his opponent and got the shot space.

   Lean back slightly and drag the ball above the head.

  Boozer showed his signature shooting posture and shot the ball steadily.

   After the goal, Boozer opened his hands and kept raising them, indicating that the cheering and cheering on the scene would be louder.

  From this goal alone, Shentong knew that Boozer had indeed improved.

  Gooden, who is relatively thin, is not an opponent of the muscular Boozer in physical confrontation.

  Sir, Bell is pressing close.

  When he was in Philadelphia, he watched with his own eyes how Iverson used a height of 1.83 meters to fight against a group of tall and mighty men.

   is also there, Bell developed a tough and unyielding character.

  After scoring 10 points on 4 of 6 shots in 9 minutes in 2001, Bell began to change.

After winning the Eastern Conference for the Philadelphia 76ers, Bell joined the Mavericks to help the team reach the Western Conference Finals.

After   , Bell came to the Jazz, the fourth team in four years.

  Here, Bell has gained the trust of Sloan, his performance has improved in all aspects, and he has become a trusted defender on the outside of the Jazz.

  Bell bends his right hand and presses his elbow against Shentong’s back, while his left hand is fully open, constantly probing forward, wanting to steal the ball at any time.

  However, Shentong's dribble is not when he first entered the league.

  When Bell reached out to try to steal, Shen Tong felt the change of the opponent's center of gravity through his back, and immediately turned to the right, and instantly flashed Bell's defense.

  There is still 2 meters away from the basket, and Shentong has taken off!

  He knows that neither of the Jazz's two insiders have any jumping ability.

  So Shentong took off early and wanted to complete a dunk directly from the air!

   Just when Wagner stretched out his hands to celebrate, Shen Tong suddenly felt a shadow behind him.

  Next, a big hand was placed on Shentong’s ball!

   glance sideways.

   is Kirilenko!

  Shentong ignored this Russian all-rounder.

  Wagner's face is solemn, James is ready to rush to grab the first place

  Just when everyone thought Kirilenko gave Shentong a big hat, something surprising happened.

  Shen Tong actually controlled the basketball hit by Kirilenko with both hands, and then violently slammed the ball into the basket!

  Kirilenko is too skinny, and the ability to fight in the air is not at all the opponent of "China's small steel gun" Shentong.

  In the exclamation of the home fans, Shen Tong arched his body and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. Behind him was Kirilenko who lost his center of gravity in the air.

   "click."

  A photographer caught this picture!

  This photo is enough to make headlines today, and it can definitely sell for a good price.

  As for Kirilenko of the home team, who cares.

  Shen Tong after scoring a goal backwards.

   Raised his chin and looked at Kirilenko who was pulled up from the floor by Boozer and Okur, as if the overlord was clinging to the clues.

   originally thought it was a big hat, but it was a big hole, Kirilenko was angry!

  On the offensive end, he relied on a shoehorn face and slender figure to cut from the outside vertical line. As a result, Boozer scored and grabbed the ball with one hand and dunked to the basket.

  Warmspan like an octopus.

  The basket is near.

  This ball Kirilenko intends to use all his strength as a response to the ball just now.

"Roar!"

   Just halfway through the roar, the command of strength has not had time to be transmitted from the brain to the arm, and one palm has instantly slapped the ball into the air!

   is James.

  This guy directly sent the big cap and slapped Kirilenko's ball on the backboard.

  Shen Tong jumped up to catch the rebounding rebound, and the Cavaliers immediately switched from defense to offense.

   Cross down and dribble without stopping.

  This is Derrick Rose’s non-deceleration change!

  Faced with Bell and Arroyo, Shentong threw the ball to the basket.

  Arroyo’s first reaction was: James? He didn't keep up with this fast break!

  Bell watched the ball being thrown high, gave up the defense, stood still and watched the direction of the ball flying.

In   's sight, a little man stood up from the ground.

  Hundred-percent hot guy, Da Juan Wagner!

  Raise high with one hand, grab the ball in the air, and then dunk into the basket with one hand!

  The ball caused a burst of exclamation at the scene.

   1.88 meters Wagner even completed an aerial relay with Shentong.

  Oku looked at it from a distance, feeling touched in his heart.

  After all, the height of the ball just now is beyond the reach of my life.

  As a 2.11m inside line, this is really embarrassing.

  Wagner was excited after scoring, pointed at a beautiful woman on the sidelines, and said loudly: "The Cavaliers have more than Shentong, and I'm Da Juan Wagner!"

  James touched his chin, looked at Wagner, who was twisting his butt, and muttered: "This kid is a little bit overwhelmed, don't you know who is the second child of the team?"

  As for the little beauty about 10 years old, she put her elbows on her knees and smiled. She didn't seem to dislike Wagner's pointing to herself just now.

  "Dad, is this the team you are talking about? It is indeed a very passionate and young team. I like them very much."

  Sitting next to the little beauty, Jeff Hornacek said: "Hey, Abby, although I like this team very much, but we are in the Energy Solutions Arena tonight, we still have to have a stand."

   "OK, hey, the one named Da Juan, behave well!"

  "."

   Seems to hear Abby Hornacek’s cheering, and Wagner excitedly searched for the direction of the sound.

  When it was discovered that the voice was shouting from a 10-year-old girl, Wagner’s excited expression immediately disappeared.

   "Hey, Da Juan, there is a little beauty to cheer you on." James reminded.

  Wagner shook his head vigorously, and replied in an angry tone: "It's just a little girl who is still sucking her breasts. It is estimated that she will only be 10 or 11 this year."

  James seemed to say to himself: "But she is already a beauty embryo, and Shentong's fiancée Nina Dubrov has just turned 16 years old."

  James’ words brought Wagner’s smile back to his face.

  Perhaps the seeds of happiness sprouted at this moment?

  Single Wagner can't help but imagine that when he hits the top a few years later, marrying a beautiful girl like Dubrov like Shentong, that is also a pretty good arrangement.

  But in the next moment, Wagner’s illusions were shattered.

  "Shentong, come on!"

  Shen Tong, who had just completed a breakthrough dunk, ran across the sidelines and glanced at the little girl cheering for herself.

  Little beauty? !

do not know.

  In the first half, the entire rhythm was in the hands of the Cavaliers.

  At the end of halftime, the score was 60-47, and the Cavaliers led by 13 points away.

  Shentong’s momentum for the scoring champion this season has not diminished, and scored 25 points in the first half!

  Shen Tong, who is playing with the mission, of course cannot be careless.

  But to his surprise, the Jazz did not perform as well as before.

  In the third quarter of the second half, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

  Jerry Sloan deserves to be an old coach. After experiencing a headwind in the first half, the Jazz changed their tactics in the second half.

  They used Raja Bell and Kirilenko to double-team defense against Shentong.

  Even though Shentong often dribbles with both hands to break the press, the press is too tight today.

  Even the connection between Shentong and other players was completely blocked.

After losing the mainstay, the Cavaliers began to lose strength on the offensive end.

  The Jazz played a 12-2 climax, and soon the score was close to even once!

  Amid the cheering of the home fans, the Cavaliers began to face pressure.

  Fortunately, Reggie Miller on the bench brought fire support to the team, and his two consecutive three-pointers stabilized the military.

  Varejao also brought energy and passion to the team, as well as a desire to perform.

At the end of the three quarters, the Cavaliers only led the Jazz by 7 points.

  Everything is still full of suspense.

  In the fourth quarter, Shentong broke out!

After getting the ball, Shen Tong first dribbled the ball through the crotch and dropped Bell, then drifted sideways while running, hitting a very difficult two-pointer under the influence of Kirilenko's blocking.

   Then, Shentong singles Kirilenko in the same place three times in a row.

  For the first ball, dribble with Kirilenko's back, dribble the ball from the left hand to the right hand, turn around and make a dry jumper.

   For the second ball, stepped down and dribbled repeatedly while moving forward. When Kirilenko was gradually retreating, he suddenly took off and hit a dry field jumper.

  On the third ball, Shentong made a fake shot. Because of the "experience" of the first two goals, Kirilenko jumped up to block without hesitation, but it was actually a fake.

  Shen Tong easily passed the "Russian Shield" that the Jazz is proud of and made a layup before the Jazz players made up for defense.

  These three consecutive singles scores at the same position left Kirilenko's face dull, but his confidence was also destroyed.

  Jazz’s last inch fig leaf was torn off.

  Shen Tong, James, and Wagner even sang a song mischievously.

  Shen Tong: "My goal is often open, as many as you want to score."

  James: "One or two are welcome, no matter how much you can lose."

  Wagner: "The world is mostly friends, please don't be polite."

  Shen Tong: "Don't mind if you make less money. I will replenish you next time."

   Fully show the knight teasing nature.

  Since these three people deliberately sang to the Jazz players on the sidelines during the timeout, Abby Hornacek, who was sitting on the sidelines, heard it very clearly.

   "Puff."

  Although he received the professional training of his father Jeff Hornacek, Abby still couldn't help but laughed out of this funny style.

  Old Jeff stunned his daughter speechlessly.

  Hey, hey, this is the home court of the Jazz, do you want dad to be embarrassed?

  With 13 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers lead the Jazz by 16 points, 107-91.

  The outcome is divided.

  Shentong also completed the task.

  Plus this is the home of the Jazz, so the Cavaliers do not intend to make the final attack.

  However, just when Shentong dribbled the ball from behind and prepared to cross the center line, Bell unexpectedly broke Shentong's ball and broke through to the basket in the eyes of everyone's surprise.

  Perhaps the rim can't stand it, but Bell's layup turned around the rim and came out again.

After Big Z grabbed the rebound, he threw it back to the dissatisfied Shentong.

  This time, the famous scene is here.

  I thought that Shentong would use his own way to return to his body, and then attacked another one at the end.

  Who knew that after receiving the ball, Shentong put the ball directly on the floor, and then stepped on the ball with his foot, his back was straight, and his eyes looked directly at Bell who missed the layup.

  The sharp eyes and the domineering domineering style made Bell too helpless to parry. He could only pretend not to see, and walked directly to the sidelines, waiting for the whistle to end the game.

   "Dad, this guy named Shen Tong is really amazing. With this action alone, he showed amazing domineering all over his body."

   Jeff Hornacek said: "Abby, your father's vision can't be wrong. The next ten years will definitely belong to his era."

   Hornacek, who was pouting his mouth, stared at Shentong’s back blankly, not knowing what was thinking in his little head.

   "Didi-——"

  In the very awkward atmosphere of the home court, the final whistle finally sounded.

  The Utah guys, including Jerry Sloan, let out a sigh of relief.

  The last few seconds are really hard.

  This game also made Sloan re-examine Bell.

  This guy may be more suitable for the sixth man of the team.

  In the post-match press conference ~www.ltnovel.com~, someone raised the issue of the foot on the ball at the end of the Shentong game.

  Reporter: "Excuse me, what happened in the last 13 seconds, can you tell you something?"

Shen Tong: "I thought everyone had reached a tacit understanding and the game was over, but Raja might not think so. He completed a wonderful steal and then shot wide under a very strong defense. Big Z grabbed the rebound. , I responded by stepping on the ball with my foot."

  Reporter: "Can you talk about Carlos Boozer? It is said that you are very dissatisfied with his departure."

  At this moment, Shentong showed the temperament and mind of the team boss.

"I can't talk about dissatisfaction. I just think that since everyone has fought together before, then even if you leave, you should say hello instead of leaving quietly. Carlos did a good job today. He is here. A wide space can be used. My point of view has never changed. If we are like-minded, then we can join forces. If everyone has their own ambitions, then we will meet at the top. Good luck to him."

   Boozer, who scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in this game, saw Shen Tong’s speech in the locker room, and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed from the heart.

  It seems that I did something wrong.
