The Fifth Point Guard

Although Ilgauskas was asked by the team doctor to rest for a week, after only three days of rest at home, Big Z couldn't help it anymore. He sat on the sidelines in a suit and watched the game, silently cheering for the team with his eyes.

Facing the powerful enemy Suns at home, in order to continue their winning streak, there is no room for failure in this battle.

Before the game started, Basketball God Space refreshed the main mission as usual.

{

Main mission: Shoot the sun

Mission statement: The sun this season is bright, dazzling and hot. But no matter how bright the sun is, I am still afraid of bows and arrows. Be like Hou Yi, carry a flaming long bow and shoot at the sun! Even if you have ten days, I will shoot you nine. If the sun represents brilliance, then today, you will represent darkness.

Mission requirements: Defeat the Sun and maintain the winning streak

Reward props: Sound Wave Sponge

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

This mission is interesting. There is no mission reward, but a reward prop is given. What is this?

This is the first time Shentong has seen an unconventional task.

No matter what, the Suns must be defeated, so even though no mission reward was given, curiosity still forced Shentong to take a look at what this reward prop was used for.

After clicking "Receive", you will get the reward prop "Sound Wave Sponge".

{

Props: Sound Wave Sponge

Details: Non-ability-enhancing auxiliary props used in competitions.

Pre-reward props, SpongeBob’s favorite toy.

Sound waves produced by fans at the game can be collected.

At the end of the game, rewards of corresponding levels will be released based on the accumulation of sound waves.

}

After reading the details of the props, Shentong finally figured it out.

Pre-reward props, that is to say, this prop is actually a prop set up for the reward obtained after completing the task.

During the game, if you perform well, you will receive cheers and cheers from the fans at the scene. These sounds will turn into sound waves and be absorbed by the sound wave sponge.

Once the sun is defeated at the end of the game, corresponding rewards will be randomly released based on the amount of sound waves absorbed by the sponge.

This task is quite interesting.

Shentong took the sound wave sponge, thought about it, and stuffed it into his pants.

Although it is slightly bulging out than usual, it is almost invisible unless you look carefully.

Facing Stoudemire, Varejao wanted to use the same trick he used against Mimu, but the opponent ignored him at all.

The referee handed the ball out, and Stoudemire jumped up quickly to win the ball for the Suns.

Although the Suns have completely given up on traditional centers, Stoudemire, who is 2.08 meters tall, has very strong physical fitness and is not weak at all when facing Varejao, who is 2.11 meters tall.

The Suns took the lead.

The Cavaliers players had just settled into position, and Marion had already taken a shot.

It looked like a careless throw with both hands, but the ball passed through the net accurately and hollowly.

0-3

Marion hit a three-pointer in the opening game.

In the live broadcast room, Barkley said: "Look, this is how the Suns play this season. Basically, one pass, two passes, three passes at most, and then they have to take action. And when there is a three-pointer opportunity, they will never pass it." Two-point shot.”

Smith said: "Speaking of which, the Suns' offense this season is really terrifying. In the first three games, their five starters averaged more than 15 points per game. This is very rare for any team, and the Suns' Also sitting on the bench were Jim Jackson, Leandro Barbosa, Casey Jacobson and other players.”

Barkley immediately said: "Speaking of the Suns' substitute players, I have to mention one person, and that is Japanese basketball player Yuta Taguchi. He is also the first Japanese basketball player to log into the NBA. It is not easy. He is only 1.75 meters tall, but I heard he is called Japanese Jordan in Japan."

Smith said: "Oh, that's really incredible."

Barkley continued: "Of course, the greater role that Taguchi Yuta signed in the NBA has brought to the Suns is to increase their exposure. Like Chinese players such as Shentong and Yao Ming, many Japanese basketball fans have also begun to pay attention to the NBA and refer to the Suns. The team serves as its home team.”

Smith said: "How is the Japanese market?"

"Although it is not as good as the Chinese market, it is not bad. It is said that Japan's Toyota Company has begun to spend a lot of money in the NBA and find many athletes to endorse. I heard that they have recently signed endorsement contracts with many players from the Suns, and have also found players who play for the Rockets. Yao Ming, but we don’t know yet whether Yao Ming will sign.”

On the court, Wagner easily broke through Nash's defense and rode a horse to shoot an arrow, which won a lot of applause from the audience.

"Did you see it, Shen, this is a new move I learned recently."

Wagner boasted to Shentong after scoring.

"Hurry back to defense, they are already attacking."

After hearing Shentong's reminder, Wagner discovered that Nash had dribbled the ball past half court at some point.

"How could it be so fast!"

Nash dribbled the ball twice from the outside. It seemed like there was no chance. Stoudemire went to the three-point line to do a pick-and-roll.

Varejao, who has good athletic ability, followed up and defended.

When Wagner just returned to his defensive position, he was blocked by Stoudemire.

Nash used the screen to get the opportunity to change defense, faced Varejao with a fake shot, and deceived Varejao, but at the same time he hit the ground and passed the ball, and the perfect pass was passed to Stoudemire who inserted after the pick-and-roll.

After getting the ball, Stoudemire took three steps and poured the ball into the basket with one hand.

Barkley immediately explained: "Look, this is the pick-and-roll cooperation between Steve and Amare that I talked about before the game. Stoudemire is having a great time this season. With Nash feeding the ball like this, his performance will definitely improve significantly." .”

2-5

The Cavaliers also play at a high pace.

After the Suns scored, Gooden served from the baseline and passed directly to James.

James used a "bulldozer" breakthrough, pushed Marion away and succeeded in a layup.

To be honest, James didn't feel much defensive pressure.

When playing against the Suns last season, Marion's defense tried its best and was quite tough.

When James broke through for a layup, the Suns only had Marion returning to defense.

Picking up the basketball, Marion also sent a long pass.

Before James and Marion came back, the Suns went straight to four-on-four in the half.

It was Nash as the initiator again, setting up a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, but this time, Nash did not choose to pass the ball, but broke through and went around.

As soon as Varejao hesitated and did not defend, Nash took a decisive outside shot and hit a three-pointer.

4-8

The Suns' offense at the beginning was very efficient, but the Cavaliers did not encounter much resistance on the offensive end.

Gooden received the pass from Shentong and easily hit the baseline from mid-range.

The score was rewritten to 6-8.

But just 7 seconds later, the Suns hit another three-pointer.

Nash broke into the paint after the pick-and-roll, attracted the Cavaliers' double-team and then made a pass from behind.

The ball flew to Richardson in the bottom corner like it had eyes.

Richardson, nicknamed "Ah Q", shot a flying knife and passed through the net accurately.

6-11!

Although the Cavaliers counterattacked immediately after the Suns' attack was completed, the point difference between the two sides continued to widen.

This does not bode well for the Cavaliers, who are unfamiliar with this pace of play.

Paul Silas called the first timeout of the game.
