The Fifth Point Guard

"LeBron!"

The Cavaliers players immediately rushed forward.

Boozer and Big Z surrounded Artest, while Shen Tong lifted James, who was foaming at the mouth, and pinched him with his thumb.

When Wagner saw this formation, he quickly gestured to the coaching bench to indicate that James was dying.

Before the referee had time to step forward to see James' situation clearly, he was immediately involved in the fight nearby.

O'Neal Jr., Artest and Big Z, Boozer started to argue.

Other players also faced off.

The game had just begun and the atmosphere was already tense.

Just when the sidelines were in chaos, James, who was being pinched by Shentong, suddenly opened his eyes, shocking Shentong.

James opened his eyes suddenly, blinked, signaled Shen Tong to stop talking, and at the same time muttered in a low voice: "Did you give it to T?"

Shen Tong raised his head blankly.

At this time, the referee just gave Artest a technical foul.

He lowered his head and gave an affirmative look.

It turns out that this guy was just pretending. I didn’t expect his acting skills to be so good. He fooled me.

Just when Shentong was sighing inwardly, James nodded slightly.

"Then I'll go with peace of mind."

He rolled his eyes and fainted again.

I go

Shentong continued to pinch James's man.

The game continued after an official timeout as Cavs doctors and on-site staff carried James off the court on a stretcher.

The team doctor rushed over from the backstage and said to Paul Silas: "The person has woken up and is not seriously injured, but just in case, it is recommended to send him to the hospital to check whether he has a concussion. He cannot play again in this game. .”

After hearing the team doctor's words, the Cavaliers players all had expressions of displeasure on their faces.

"These guys are bullying people too much!" Wagner kicked over the seat and stared angrily at the Pacers bench on the other side.

"You didn't even call the foul foul for such a bad foul. If you ask me, that bastard should be punished!" Big Z also said aggrievedly.

Boozer also said a few words: "Look, I will destroy him in a while!"

Silas was the only one with a calm face, and no trace of turmoil could be seen in his heart.

"I say everyone, just let your emotions out. You still have to play seriously as usual when you go on the court. Since LeBron can't play, you should cheer up, focus on the court, and make up for the part where LeBron is absent. .”

After speaking, Silas glanced at his Cavaliers teammates one by one, and then patted Shentong's arm.

"It's up to you."

Jason Kapono replaced James who went off due to injury.

Speaking of Kapono, he is actually also a data demon in the Cavaliers.

On average, he waved the towel 25 times per game, carried water for others 15 times, and shouted 15 times.

It's not a loss to use Kapono's triple-double to make up for James' triple-double.

Shentong didn't say anything unnecessary.

Just as soon as they came on stage, everyone felt the terror of Chinese artillery.

Shentong received the ball at the top of the arc, and Kapono came over to pick and roll.

After the screen change, the player facing Shentong became Artest.

Artest showed a stern face and said viciously: "What, do you want to avenge LeBron? You better save it, I am now Mr. Artest, the best defensive player in the NBA!"

The corners of Shentong's mouth were raised, his face was dark, and two slightly protruding tiger teeth were vaguely exposed in his mouth.

"Today I'll show you the heinous horror!"

Wagner, who was standing not far away from the two of them, couldn't help but take a few steps away when he heard Shentong's cold words.

After stepping down and dribbling, Shentong suddenly used a crossover, and it wasn't over yet.

Rose's dribbling breakthrough + mixed use of wandering steps almost broke Artest's ankle.

After following Shentong's drastic change of direction, Artest was stunned and fell backwards involuntarily.

Even though he was Artest, he was also very powerful. He supported the ground with his hands and did not fall completely.

But Shentong has completely gotten rid of its own defense.

With a sudden step across the floor beside Artest, Shentong made an emergency stop to shoot the ball, facing the blocks of O'Neal and Foster, and made the ball steadily.

When the ball hit, Artest covered his left hand with a painful expression on his face.

"What's the matter, Ron? There's no shame in being shaken, why are you reacting like this?"

Artest frowned and hummed: "That boy, that boy just stepped on my finger."

Shen Tong ran past Artest, turned around and smiled sinisterly, causing Xiao Ao beside Artest to take a breath.

Artest attacks.

Without James as a wall of flesh, Artest has an absolute advantage in size and strength among players at the same position. What's more, the Cavaliers' current small forward is just a rookie named Kapono.

Against Kapono's wave, Artest broke into the paint.

Just as he was about to score from behind the basket, just when the ball thrown by Artest was about to come into close contact with the backboard, a black robe suddenly flashed past.

It’s STO!

He huffed with both hands and hit the ball directly on the backboard!

The bounce and speed are amazing.

"Don't think that if LeBron goes down, you can do whatever you want."

With a harsh word, Shentong handed the rebound to Wagner.

Artest's temper is also very strong, and it can ignite at a moment's notice.

"I'll wait for you over there. If you have the guts, come and try."

Shentong did not hesitate.

"Just give it a try. Not only will it come right away, but I will come soon!"

The Cavaliers attacked, and Shentong took the initiative to get stuck on the edge of the penalty area.

Kapono stood at the top of the arc.

With Artest on his back, Shentong opened his hand for the ball.

After getting the ball, Shentong directly took a behind-the-back jumper.

Artest naturally knows the power of this backward move. Although this move is almost impossible to solve, but staring at the hat of the best defensive player, Artest still tried his best to block it.

Shentong leans back a lot, so the raised foot is also a bit high.

When Shentong's fadeaway jumper hit, Artest, whose face changed drastically, was covering his crotch with his hands and rolled his eyes.

Artest even jumped a few times in pain.

"Yo."

Shentong immediately ridiculed: "Are you a Wudang disciple covering your crotch and dancing?"

After hearing this, Artest was angry and wanted to reply, but he was in too much pain and was unable to speak, so he could only stare at Shentong and leave.

In the first half of the game, the Cavaliers, who were full of anger, led the Pacers 46-40 away from home, ending the first two quarters of the game.

Shentong played the role of the King of Evil and used tricks to avoid referees, making Artest miserable.

If he hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration and was afraid of being sent off for another technical foul, Artest would have taken action against Shentong.

On the way back to the locker room, the Cavaliers players gave a thumbs up to Shentong's various dirty tricks against Artest in the first half.

Only in this way can Artest's hatred be relieved.

However, although his teammates all applauded, the team coach Paul Silas looked unhappy and stood quietly in the locker room, waiting for everyone to come back.
