The Fifth Point Guard

Big Z was injured before he finished the first half of the game. The sharks today were so cruel.

Let alone Big Z, any insider in the league will probably not be able to gain favor in front of him tonight.

Paul Silas looked toward the bench.

De Sagena-Diop?

No, this guy's skills are too rough. It's okay to go up and execute shark-killing tactics, but he can't use it as a conventional weapon.

Robert Traylor?

No, although this guy's weight can resist, he is too short, and his movement is slower than O'Neal. He will definitely be hit by a hammer when he goes up. What's more, this guy has never played center.

Scott Williams?

This guy will retire next year, not to mention his size can't stand up to O'Neal.

These thoughts were but a blink of an eye here in Silas.

When Silas slowly scanned the crowd, he made an unexpected discovery.

When he glanced over just now, everyone's expressions showed a hint of worry and nervousness, with the exception of one player.

He is this year's rookie, Anderson Varejao from Brazil.

When Silas looked at him, this guy actually looked at O'Neal seriously, with a smile on his lips, seemingly without any psychological burden.

Is this guy the legendary newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?

Try it!

Silas pointed at Varejao.

"Hey, Anderson, come on."

Not only Varejao, but the other team members were also very surprised.

Varejao pointed to his nose with a stunned expression, as if he thought he heard wrongly.

Silas nodded and said: "Hurry up, don't waste time."

Varejao jumped up from the bench excitedly, swaying his chicken coop head, took off his coat, came to the sidelines, fixed his hair a few times, and then walked onto the court.

The Cavaliers players looked at Varejao's back with sympathetic eyes.

Yes, anyone who looks at it feels that Silas replacing a rookie player at this time is to block the eye-catching.

Except STO.

With that knowledge, Shentong knows how Varejao will deal with the Sharks, and O'Neal, who is currently having an explosive temper, is suitable for Varejao's performance.

"Who did they send? That chicken coop head? Damn it, he can't be a rookie."

O'Neal stood under the basket with his hands on his hips, looking at Varejao on the court with disdain.

"Are they planning to give up? Just send a scapegoat?"

The big shark shook his head, completely ignoring Varejao.

Varejao ran inside and stood next to O'Neal.

Although he felt that the new guy was much worse than Big Z, O'Neal was still attracted by Varejao's explosive chicken coop head.

You know, at this time in the NBA, there were not many players with hairstyles like Varejao.

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

Wagner passed the ball to Shentong, who faced Wade's defense and held the ball with one hand to form a confrontation.

Without any instructions from Shentong, Varejao had already taken the initiative to run to the outside to cover.

O'Neal also followed symbolically.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Varejao left with his front foot, James took advantage of the gap left by O'Neal to cut in and receive a pass from Shentong, and succeeded in an easy layup.

After scoring the goal, James quickly ran to Shentong and high-fived Shentong. Varejao also went over and high-fived the two to celebrate. After all, Varejao, who pulled O'Neal out of the ball just now, also made a contribution.

O'Neal looked at the three people celebrating and muttered in his heart: "These three guys dare to tease me!"

In the next round, O'Neal continued to want to show his dominance.

He caught the ball under the basket, turned his back to the strong attack and then turned around.

O'Neal only felt the force behind his back loosen, and then the referee's whistle sounded.

"Didi-"

what happened?

O'Neal held the ball in his left hand, looking confused.

Following the referee's eyes, O'Neal lowered his gaze.

Varejao, who had just come on, was lying on the floor with a painful expression.

It's strange, you obviously didn't hit him just now, right?

But looking at Varejao's expression, it was as painful as having the mouse cord cut off by his wife.

O'Neal was confused. Could it be that he really did it just now?

With a trace of depression and a trace of guilt, O'Neal pursed his lips and threw the ball back to the referee without much resistance.

After all, Varejao is already in so much pain.

O'Neal is not a completely unreasonable guy.

James and Wagner pulled Varejao off the floor.

Varejao, who had been in great pain just now, seemed to have changed his face. He narrowed his eyes and blinked at the two of them, and whispered: "How is it? Is it realistic?"

This sudden move shocked James and Wagner, who were completely unprepared.

At this time, Shentong stepped forward to make a rescue and said: "The foul-making behavior just now is very realistic, but don't perform it too hard, otherwise the traces of the performance will be too obvious."

As if he had met a close friend, Varejao's eyes lit up and he said: "Finally someone can understand me! A big man who doesn't look like an actor is not a good player, don't you think so?"

The Cavaliers attack, Varejao still pulls outward.

Follow or not?

O'Neal chose not to follow this time.

After all, Varejao has not shown his offensive level yet.

Does he have the same 3-point shot as Okur?

Or does he have Boozer's long-distance shooting skills?

In fact, Varejao really doesn't have one at the moment.

but!

He has very flexible movement.

In front of Shentong, Varejao used his flexible movement to cover, escorting Shentong to get rid of Wade, and rushed into the penalty area.

Seeing Shentong coming in again, O'Neal was holding back all his strength this time to give Shentong a blow.

It doesn't matter whether it's a foul or not. What's important is to give Shentong some color!

Just as he was about to raise his arms, O'Neal suddenly saw Varejao's face appearing in front of him.

What's happening here?

It turned out that Varejao was inserted between O'Neal and Shentong.

This guy regards himself as the barrier between O'Neal and Shentong.

In fact, O'Neal could completely ignore Varejao at this time and take Shentong with him to get out of the penalty area, but after all, he had dealt a cruel blow to Varejao just now.

Everyone has shame and pity.

With just such a moment of hesitation, Shentong jumped up high, holding the ball with both hands beside O'Neal and Varejao, and dunked the ball into the basket!

Compared with the previous dunk, this shot is also quite exciting.

After rushing up, he dunked with both hands!

After scoring the goal, Shentong even did a pull-up after dunking before getting off the basket.

How regretful O'Neal is at this moment!

Although there is Varejao between him and Shentong, today's game was too sensitive, especially after Shentong completed a dunk.

This goal will also be used by the media to hype it up.

O'Neill covered his forehead with his hands, feeling quite regretful.

I should have blocked the shot at all costs just now.

"Hey, Shaquille, you know what? You're going to lose a lot of Miami fans after this regular-season opener."

Eddie Jones, who was also a Lakers teammate, reminded O'Neal in another way.

"Damn it, you don't need to remind me!"

The shark's bloody nature was activated again.

When O'Neal got the ball and was about to go for it, the referee's whistle sounded.

Just now, O'Neal felt his arm tremble slightly. When he looked back, Varejao's face "just happened" to hit his elbow.

"He hit it on his own."

O'Neal tried to argue.

But the referee didn't listen to O'Neal's explanation.

After being called for two offensive fouls in a row, O'Neal suddenly realized.

I have fallen into a trap.
