The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 574 The Disappearing Dribble (4.3k)

   "Go home! Go home!"

  For more than a week in the field, the Cavaliers players have already returned home.

  Wagner walked out around a large bath towel after taking a shower, rummaging through his large backpack for his new underwear.

  After a while, Wagner scratched his head, wondering: "I think there should be another one."

   rummaged for a while, Wagner picked up the underwear he had just taken off again and turned it over.

   "Well, let's make do, I will be home at night."

  Although the Cavaliers have been broken their undefeated golden body, the string that has been tight on the team can be relaxed.

  The only defeat came from the absence of Shentong.

  And they took revenge on the next day.

  So although we lost one game, there is nothing to regret for this group of young people.

   Defending the title is their real goal.

  Because of the arrows of homecoming, the Cavaliers chose the flight to Cleveland that night, so that Shentong did not have an appointment to go to Arenas nightclub.

Before going home, Shen Tong told Dubrov on the phone.

  The plane landed, and Shentong couldn't wait to drive his Porsche all the way.

  The lights are still on in the lobby in the early morning, and Shentong can see it at the gate of the villa.

  Park the car and Shentong opens the gate.

  The warm light, the hot supper prepared on the table, and the charming and lovely children.

  This is the taste of home.

  As a card of the league, he went to Asia to promote the NBA. Although he had a three-day break, the Cavaliers suspected that they were actually at a loss.

  Fortunately, they will also play at home for more than a week, avoiding the fatigue of the journey.

  After regular training, James and Shen Tong worked together in the gym.

  James asked Shen Tong about the left hand.

  "Shen, I think you used a lot of left-handed shots today. It's amazing. Is there any secret? How do you practice it?"

  Shentong, of course, can’t fool his teammates with the set of fooling Arenas.

   "Hmm how do you put it."

  In fact, since Shentong has merged with Hardaway and Roy, the feeling of holding the ball and shooting with his left hand is very strong. Sometimes, Shentong will even deliberately use his left hand to make breakthroughs and shots, but the shooting percentage is not lost by the right hand.

  This may be the influence of fusion, after all, Hardaway and Roy are both very good left-handed players.

  "Use the left hand more for training, and deliberately increase the strength of the left hand. If you persist for a period of time, the feeling of the left hand will get better and better."

  Shentong’s words are not fudge, but they are not a secret.

  After James finished the weighted squat, he hung the barbell on the equipment, nodded, and said: "If both hands can dribble and shoot, then the opponent will be more difficult to defend. It seems that I have to practice left hand."

  After finishing the strength training, Shen Tong returned to the basketball court alone.

   "Shoo."

   "Shoo."

  Continuous hollow hits.

  Shen Tong looked at his left hand and couldn't believe why his left hand suddenly felt so good.

  That night, Shen Tong dribbled the ball with both hands and focused on his left hand.

  So

  Shen Tong has been practicing his left hand day and night in the past two days.

  There are still 3 days before Christmas.

  The Cavaliers ushered in their last opponent before Christmas at home, the Orlando Magic.

  The Magic have not played well this season.

  Sophomore Dwight Howard played dominance, but Francis and Hill's performance has declined compared to last season.

  Francis’s poor performance is related to the tactical system of head coach Brian Hill.

  Brian hopes that the team can start from the inside with Howard as the core, but Francis is not convinced by this tactical arrangement.

  Francis desperately wants to prove that he has challenged Bryan’s authority and bottom line on the court again and again.

  On the court, Francis repeatedly asked Howard to run out to do pick-and-rolls for himself, rarely following Brian's tactics to execute, which made Brian very annoyed.

  Friend Mobley was traded to the Clippers, which was also one of the fuse for the escalation of the conflict between Francis and the team's management.

  In this case, the team wants to play a good record, it is tantamount to idiotic dreams.

  As for Hill, the injuries that plagued him seem to be recurring again.

  Recently, Hill had sore knees, which made him afraid to use all his strength in the game.

  Injuries inhibited his performance.

  In the turmoil within the team, Howard, who had no scheming, still played at his own pace.

  Compared with last season, Howard's performance has improved.

  Average of 15.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. Both points and rebounds have improved a lot from last season. This is very valuable for a double-double insider who can get 12 points and 10 rebounds in a rookie season.

  On the books, the Magic's record should definitely not be just the level of the Eastern vice squad leader.

Turk Hedo Turkglu has gradually adapted to this in the second year of the Magic. He has become the team’s fourth scorer and can actively connect the team on the court. Sometimes it looks better. Francis is more like a point guard.

  Jamil Nelson has also grown a lot compared to last season. The points and assists have increased from 8.7 points and 3.0 assists to 14.6 points and 4.9 assists.

  It is rare to have such a growth under Francis' aura.

  This is also the confidence that the Magic management dare to break with Francis.

  We have someone.

  There is no you in the position of the point guard, and there are others who can top it.

  There have been rumors recently that Francis is about to be sent away. As for the next home, there are several options.

  Francis also knows his current situation. Only by performing well on the court can he continue to mix in the league.

   Either stay here, or because of his performance, he can go to a team that has the strength to compete for the championship.

  In recent games, Bryan and Francis seem to have reached a tacit understanding.

  One give Francis enough time to let the receiver take a look at the goods.

  A performance that is also working **** the court so that he has enough voice.

  The away game against the Cleveland Cavaliers is a good opportunity for Francis.

   defeating such a team, undoubtedly can fully prove their strength and gold content.

  So Francis is very interested in this game, and even talked to Howard and Hill before the game to boost the morale of the team and want to win the game.

  The starting lineup of the Magic in this game is:

   Center: Howard, power forward: Batty, small forward: Hill, shooting guard: Stevenson, point guard: Francis.

  The Cavaliers’ starting lineup is:

   Center: Ilgauskas, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner.

Before the game, Stevenson also deliberately broke the news to the media, saying that Shentong and James of the Cavaliers are both overrated players.

"Although they won the championship last season, I am not convinced by them. Yes, they still do not get my respect. At least I think their current treatment and strength do not match. They are not Michael Jordan and Scott. -Players like Pippen, but the popularity and attention gained are a bit too much."

  This is not the first time Stevenson provoke Shentong and James before the game.

  When a reporter responded to Stevenson's words to Shentong and James, the two people's reactions were surprisingly consistent.

   "Who is Deshaun?"

  Since the Cavaliers have gone overseas, the home fans have not seen the home team games for more than half a month, so this quick loan center is full!

  The stadium was also crowded with fans who came to watch the big screen.

  Such a grand occasion, comparable to last season's playoffs.

  Just before the start of the game, the starting players of both sides will play.

  Shentong and Grant Hill hug and pay tribute.

  Although the goal is to defeat Shentong and the Cavaliers, Francis also took the initiative to shake hands and hug Shentong.

  Only Stevenson, no knight greeted him, of course, he has been glaring at Shentong and James.

  Hill looked a little haggard. Although Shen Tong saw Hill’s passion and dedication to basketball in his eyes, it was clear that the injury was attacking him again.

  Before the start of the game, the template card Shentong obtained on the Wall of Sighs in the Basket God Space was Grant Hill.

  {

  Template card

  Character: Grant Hill

  Time: 96-97 season

  Team: Detroit Pistons

Statistics: The first NBA team, the Atlanta Olympic men's basketball champion, averaging 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. He is the only one in the league after Oscar Robertson and Larry Bird. Players with an average of 20+9+7 per game, 13 triple-doubles are the most in the league. Individuals account for 35% of the league’s total triple-doubles. They are second only to Michael Jordan and Carl in the MVP selection. Malong. In the game against the Lakers, he scored 34 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists in a large triple-double.

  }

  In the 96-97 season, Hill was only a third grader, but he has become a member of the team.

  Hill, who has no injuries, can be described as flying away, and has the reputation of "the fastest first step" in the league.

  Moreover, Hill's left-handed kung fu is very powerful, and can be described as a real player who can open the bow from left to right.

  After Shentong merged Hill's template card with himself, a holy light fell from the sky.

  At that moment, Shentong felt like a **** on the court.

  Even though the mid-range shot is not stable and the three-pointer has not yet been fully developed, Hill’s talent cannot be concealed.

  Hill like this plus Shentong who can shoot in every position, only one word can describe: invincible!

  The referee took the ball and walked to the middle circle. Big Z and Howard bent their knees slightly to prepare to jump the ball.

  Stevenson approached Shentong, and his exhalation was clear and audible.

   "I'll prevent you from finding your way home."

  Shen Tong glanced at it and replied: "It seems that the lessons I taught you last time are not enough."

  "Orlando asked me to defend you. In the team's training game, I was the best perimeter defensive player who could successfully limit Grant to death."

   "Can you prevent Grant from death?"

   "Huh, that's right. So don't underestimate me, Shin, I just didn't try my best. Today you will lose the second game!"

  "."

  If Grant Hill can be completely restricted, then this Stevenson still has two brushes.

  Shentong remembered the grudge between Stevenson and James last time.

  A player who can have grievances with James should have considerable strength.

  Shen Tong took a deep breath, not daring to be careless.

  The result of the jump ball was no surprise. Howard, a young and better bouncer, won the jump ball.

  Francis did his best on the first offense.

  Using Howard's pick-and-roll, Francis used his speed to force Wagner to force a layup when Wagner was not completely out of position.

   Back on the defensive end, Francis yelled the others to focus.

  It seems that Orlando is very eager to win this game.

  Wagner agreed to return the color with speed, but on the layup, the racket thrown by Howard was dropped.

   Stevenson dunks after receiving Hill's pass in the fast break.

  In terms of physical fitness alone, Stevenson is also at the level of deduction.

  So he is not the same as Bowen and Christie's outside gates. In addition to defensive awareness, his physical condition is also very good.

   "Hey, Shin, what am I talking about, your good luck is over!"

  Shen Tong didn’t know how he offended this guy. At the beginning of the game, he kept provoking and clamoring at him, lest he wouldn’t use his full strength.

  As a result, Hill’s words exposed Stevenson’s inner heart.

   "This guy is facing a contract extension. At this time, no one can impress the boss most than the first guard in the defensive league. De Shawn is just to sign a good contract for himself."

  Hill is the truth.

  Shen Tong said with a suddenly realized look: "That's it."

  Stevenson pointed to Hill angrily and said, "Grant, which side are you on?"

  Hill shrugged and said: "I just can't bear to hear some people say that they can prevent teammates from such bad things."

   "Cut." Stevenson snorted, "What I said is true."

   "Then me too."

  On the offensive end, Shen Tong dribbled the ball down, waiting for the opportunity.

Stevenson devoted himself to defense, and the guy in front of him was a prey to him. Just as Hill said, he can prevent Shentong, even if it can effectively affect the opponent's performance, he can also be in this summer. Sign a satisfactory contract.

  For some guys, Shentong is tantamount to a benchmark for measuring value.

  Thinking of the possibility of signing a big contract in the summer, Stevenson was very happy.

   Staring at Shentong, Stevenson blinked.

   then

  Shentong has disappeared!

  People?

  Where did Shentong go?

  In the blink of an eye, Shentong disappeared in front of him!

  Stevenson turned around in surprise and saw that Shentong had already scored into the basket.

  In the air, Howard opened his hands and completely covered Shentong into his own defensive range.

   "You are done!"

   Stevenson shouted.

  Shen Tong stopped in the air with the ball in both hands, fixed his eyes on the basket, motionless.

  At this moment, Shentong seemed to be frozen in the air.

  The originally confident Howard had a look of surprise on his face, and then slowly fell from the air.

  When Howard fell, Shen Tong let go of his hands, stretched out the ball, and threw it to the basket.

  The ball went around the basket and dropped slowly.

  This stagnation is too strong!

  Even Howard, who is proud of his physical fitness, has to admit that Shentong is stuck in the sky~www.ltnovel.com~ But what makes Stevenson even more surprised is that what happened to the sudden disappearance of Shentong just now?

  This should not be true.

  I just wandered off

  Welcoming Shentong's offense again, Stevenson played twelve points and stared at Shentong's dribble.

  Shen Tong held the ball in his left hand, shook it, suddenly jumped up, and the person ran to the right.

  Stevenson caught Shen Tong’s moving direction and immediately moved horizontally to the left, but to his surprise, Shen Tong did not have the ball in his hand!

  The ball disappeared again? !

  In Stevenson's surprise, Shen Tong turned around and disappeared again.

  Stevenson panicked completely.

  He has never seen such a dribble and breakthrough.

   Turn around immediately, Shentong has rushed into the restricted area!
