The Fifth Point Guard

In addition to James's regular organization of inside wings and point guards, now coupled with Shentong's passing, the Cavaliers' overall tactical execution suddenly became smoother.

Even Boozer and Big Z each staged a scandal.

Boozer hit Brown with his back, turned around and feinted a shot, and Brown was directly deceived.

If Jordan stood on the court, he could scold Brown bloody.

After tapping Brown, Boozer took a big step and put the ball in one hand for a layup.

Heywood waited with his giant palm.

Then Boozer stopped midway through his layup and passed the ball under his arm.

After taking the ball, James put it to his nose and smelled it, then frowned and dunked the ball into the basket with his eyes closed.

Boozer's underarm pass was so exciting that James couldn't open his eyes.

Big Z's passing is much simpler.

He grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket, feinted a few times and then stiffened up and sent the ball to the basket.

Unexpectedly, I avoided the first grade of junior high school, but was avoided on the fifteenth grade.

Arenas appeared out of nowhere, raised his arm, and hit the ball firmly with a slap.

This is a great hat!

But Piqiu obviously didn't think so.

As soon as the ball was shot, it hit an object, made a "bang" sound, then bounced out and landed on the basket.

Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the ball bounced on the basket a few times and finally fell into the basket.

Arenas' mouth opened in surprise.

Shentong was equally shocked.

His eyes turned to the thing hit by the ball.

James rubbed his somewhat red and swollen nose, his eyes sharp, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Good assist." James said.

Big Z reacted immediately.

"Sure enough, everything was within my plan. I estimated the direction and speed of the blocked shot without any angle, and then calculated the angle of LeBron's jump and the strength of the rebound. I combined these factors and formulated an equation. Calculating orally, the result was just as I expected.”

Shentong, who did not forget to join in the fun, also joined the show-off team.

"Heh, let me just say that I am the guy who knows Gilbert best. It seems that our simulation training was not in vain."

Arenas: "."

Seeing the three of them looking confident and ready to be beaten, Arenas wanted to take out a wrench and hit the three of them violently.

At this moment, Wagner walked up to James.

"LeBron, you're bleeding."

Following Wagner's prompt, James touched his nostrils.

"Ah! I have a nosebleed! Quick, where is the doctor?"

STO:─━_─━

Big Z:─━_─━

The atmosphere that was painstakingly created disappeared instantly.

Arenas played really well in this game.

Although an unexpected goal occurred, Arenas' mentality was not affected.

Arenas, who is used to being funny, didn't feel any emotion when faced with such a funny goal.

Under Wagner's defense, he dribbled the ball behind his back and made an emergency three-pointer at the buzzer.

When the game came to the end of the third quarter, the away Wizards still led the Cavaliers by 1 point, 77-76.

Arenas has scored 35 points, only 5 points away from the boasted 40 points, and there is still a whole quarter of time!

During the break between sessions.

Paul Silas is setting up defensive tactics.

"Jeff, when we were guarding Gilbert in the fourth quarter, we would rather give him two points than let him shoot three points. This hurts our morale too much. Other players should also keep an eye on their opponents and don't let him shoot easily. Let them get open shots."

The break between the third and fourth quarters was not long.

Just as Silas was arranging the defense in the fourth quarter, Shentong suddenly interrupted the head coach.

"Paul, I want to guard Gilbert in the fourth quarter."

"Shen, you want to guard against him alone?"

"That's right."

"Give me a reason."

"First, he and I used to be teammates, and I am familiar with his offensive habits; second, he has scored 35 points, while Larry Hughes and Jerry Stackhouse only scored 22 points together, which is very low. Obviously, Gilbert is the main point of attack for the Wizards today. As the saying goes, catch the thief first, so we must block Gilbert's hole. Finally, I am confident in my defense!"

"drop--"

It's time for a break.

Shentong and Silas looked at each other, while the other players remained silent.

"Okay, Shen, you'll be the one to defend Gilbert in the fourth quarter."

"yes!"

The Cavaliers took the lead in the fourth quarter.

Big Z provided support from inside and passed the ball to James who was cutting inside. After James broke through, he took away the defense, looked back at the moon, and passed the ball to the middle.

Shentong, who made the second air cut, got the ball and faced Haywood's block. He fully stretched his body, straightened his arms to avoid the defense, and hit the board.

78-77.

Shentong's layup allowed the Cavaliers to take the lead again.

When Arenas dribbled the ball to the Cavaliers half, he found Shentong standing in front of him.

The guy was instantly excited.

"Shen, I didn't expect that they would ask you to defend me in the end."

"Gilbert, your performance ends here, wake up!"

"Then let's see how much you weigh!"

On the sidelines, the fans at the scene saw their strongest star taking the initiative to take on the important task of defending Arenas, and immediately spared no effort to cheer for Shentong and the Cavaliers.

"Defend!"

"Defend!"

The sound of defense echoed throughout the stadium.

Arenas stepped down and dribbled on the spot, very fast.

Fake breakthrough, dribble from behind and then change hands.

This series of skillful dribbling and fake moves made Shentong unable to keep up with the opponent's speed.

If this is the case, STO will never be able to guard against Arenas.

At this moment, Shentong suddenly remembered one of the nine moves of Gujin.

Broken style!

It specializes in this kind of fancy dribbling method where the ball remains in place after dribbling for a long time.

No matter what tricks you play in front of me, even if you play all the tricks, you can't achieve any results!

Arenas suddenly broke the rhythm and started a breakthrough.

But just when he dribbled around to the left of Shentong, Shentong, who was almost level with Arenas, suddenly made a move with his left hand. The movement was small, but very practical.

With a flick of the middle finger of his left hand, the ball was cut off from Arenas' hand!

Successful defense!

After stealing the ball, Shentong immediately passed the ball to James, the human tank who had already started.

James started from the midline and pushed Hughes all the way to the basket.

With Stackhouse's help, James took four steps and put the ball into the basket!

With one attack, one defense and one pass, Shentong showed its attitude at the beginning.

Arenas couldn't believe that this guy who was sitting on the bench watching the ball two years ago with almost no defense has now improved to this extent.

In the fourth quarter, Shentong seemed to be possessed by Guan Gong and chopped off the enemy's dog heads with a green dragon knife.

He and James stole Arenas twice, and jointly gave Arenas two big blocks!

Arenas, who was hot and invincible in the first three quarters, only scored 4 points in the fourth quarter.

One open play goal and two free throws.

The Wizards' scoring also almost stagnated.

When the final buzzer sounded, the score was 106-90.

The Cavaliers scored 30-13 in the fourth quarter and defeated the Wizards in one fell swoop.

The initiator of all this was Shentong.

It came from his matchup defense against Arenas in the fourth quarter.

After the game.

Arenas, who scored 39 points, stepped forward to hug his buddy Shentong with a depressed look on his face.

"Damn it, it's only 1 point away."

"Yes, it's only 1 point away from 40 points. Unfortunately, if it's 1 point away, it's not 40 points."

"We'll see, Shen, the season is still long, I just took a nap in the fourth quarter."

"The playoffs are waiting for you."

"no problem!"

The two raised their right hands and held each other tightly.
