The Fifth Point Guard

After the game, STO's mobile phone was flooded with text messages and phone calls, all of which were congratulatory.

Sister Hua would say to everyone she met: "My son is a famous basketball genius. From the moment he was born and fed, I knew he would be a basketball player in the future!"

Nina Dobrev received the endorsement contract for the "Tingmei" bra advertisement the next day. The slogan is: Use Tingmei to be more confident!

Pippen boasted to his friends: "On the day my jersey retired, STO personally staged an 83-point scoring show to celebrate me. I couldn't even stop him!"

STO's 83 points also caused a wave of high scoring in the league.

Kobe scored 62 points in three quarters against the Mavericks not long after.

But because the Lakers were leading by a big score, Jackson did not let Kobe continue to play.

Iverson scored a crazy 53 points in the game against the Hawks, almost relying on his own strength to lead the team to overtake the opponent. Unfortunately, Webber's shot before the end wasted Iverson's efforts.

It was from this game that Iverson and Webber were destined to be separated.

It is normal to say that the first two followed Shentong to perform high-scoring performances, but the following player's wonderful performance surprised many people.

This person is Agent "0", Gilbert Arenas.

He scored 40+ in back-to-back games!

In this context, Tracy McGrady's 30+ and Carter's 40+ have been completely submerged in high-scoring news.

The ultimate performance of individuals, coupled with the increase in teams focusing on fast pace, the league as a whole has begun to play exciting games that attract fans.

The Suns, Nuggets, Bobcats, Warriors, 76ers, SuperSonics, Wizards, etc., began to bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

Compared with the defense-first games of the early 2000s, the ratings of the NBA league have begun to rise significantly.

It is said that after the Cavaliers defeated the Bulls by a big score, the overwhelming news of the league's overwhelming offense made a team known for its iron-blooded defense very unhappy.

That's right, the Detroit Pistons.

Team coach Flip Saunders, who just led his team to a big victory over the New Jersey Nets, said bluntly in an interview with reporters: "I don't think that offense alone can win the championship. I think that a team that can attack can." Teams that win the regular season, but can defend, win the playoffs and championships.”

Rasheed Wallace, who has always been known for speaking out, also sneered at the league's offensive trends.

"If everyone plays offensive basketball, that's what I want. We will still maintain our own style, and we will still win the championship in the end."

Tayshaun Prince, who just signed a contract extension with the team, said: "I respect each team's style and play, but I think the Pistons' current defensive style is correct. How the team plays and loses its most valuable thing, we will continue to fight for defense!"

Before facing the challenge from the Cavaliers, team captain "Big Ben" Ben Wallace said: "We will wait for them to come over and let them know who is better! We have already made preparations for this day. We are ready to start this season and regain our 'Bad Boys' spirit."

The night after the game against the Bulls, the entire Cavaliers team flew to Detroit on a special plane. After a day of rest here, they will challenge the Detroit Pistons away from home.

Faced with the Pistons' provocative remarks, Cavaliers coach Silas said: "This is the style of Detroit. I am not surprised at all. I will ask my players to be prepared. Playing here is not as simple as playing ball." , playing here is a war.”

On the afternoon of the day they arrived in Detroit, the team held a routine training session.

After the training, Shentong plunged into the weight room for strength training.

Playing in the NBA is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. You need to maintain sufficient muscle strength at all times, otherwise your movements will be deformed after physical confrontation. No matter how accurate your shooting is or how good your dribbling is, it will suddenly fail during the game.

Considering that there is a game the next day, the intensity of Shentong's strength training today is not very high, but compared to ordinary players, the amount of exercise is already quite astonishing.

Compared with this strength training, the previous team collective training was just aerobic relaxation before strength training for Shentong to achieve the purpose of warming up and prevent injuries due to strength training.

Of course, James is always there to accompany Shentong in training in the weight room.

After two years of strength training, this guy's body has grown in width and thickness.

When Shentong walked out of the gym after training, he heard the sound of shooting on the court.

There are still players training at this time?

Shentong walked softly to the side of the court and found that the second-year player JR Smith who had just transferred over this season was practicing extra on the court.

Smith is practicing three-pointers, but his shooting accuracy doesn't seem to be good.

In his rookie season, as a shooting guard, Smith shot only 28.8% from three-point range and was not a qualified outside shooter.

Shentong stood quietly and observed.

After Smith missed 4 consecutive three-pointers, he hit 4 consecutive three-pointers, and then missed again in a row.

Shentong saw an obviously confused look on Smith's face.

"Hey, JR, I was watching for a while. You were practicing three-pointers, right?" Shentong appeared from the shadows.

Seeing that it was Shentong, the boss of the team, Smith quickly said: "Yes, boss, my three-point shot is really confusing. Obviously I feel that the strength, rhythm and feel of the shot are the same, but sometimes it can be continuous." It’s so strange that I hit the ball, but sometimes I miss it continuously. Did you notice anything next to it?”

STO remembers that in the last time and space, JR Smith was known as the "nerve knife" on the outside, but his overall outside shooting rate was at least over 30%, close to 40%.

"JR, I don't think there's anything wrong with your shooting, you're just not ready yet."

"be prepared?"

Shentong nodded, stepped forward, took the basketball, and said, "Look at my shot."

After saying that, Shentong turned sideways to face the basket and shot very confidently.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed through the basket accurately, and hit the target!

"Wow." Smith exclaimed.

Shentong asked: "Do you feel there is any essential difference between your shooting and mine?"

JR Smith thought for a few seconds and shook his head.

Shentong smiled and said, "Then do you think there is any difference between me and you when I shoot?"

This time, Smith had some perspective.

"I think when you shoot, you exude a strong confidence. I don't know why, when you just threw the ball, I felt that the ball will definitely go in."

"That's right! JR, this is the difference between us. As a shooter, when you shoot, what you think in your mind must be that I will definitely be able to hit this ball, even if I missed the first 9 shots. I will definitely be able to hit the ball 10 times. You have to have the confidence that a pitcher should have. This is what you need to improve on, not the shooting itself."

JR Smith looked enlightened upon hearing this.

"No wonder, I've been looking for shooting problems, but it's actually a mentality problem. I understand!"

Under the watchful eye of STO, JR Smith once again made 5 consecutive outside shots and hit 3 of them, namely the 1st, 4th and 5th goals.

Every time a ball is thrown, Shentong can see the light in Smith's eyes.

Although he still missed two shots, I believe that with Smith's continuous training, he really hopes to become a sharp knife on the outside for the Cleveland Cavaliers soon!

The game between the Cavaliers and Pistons will be broadcast live by TNT.

The camera cut to the live broadcast room, and the sound coming from Barkley's big mouth was immediately heard.

"I have told my boss a long time ago that I must broadcast this game live. If this game is not broadcast live, I will leave TNT."

"So, they compromised? Did they really let us live broadcast the game?"

"Of course, they still have to give me face."

"It is, after all, Sir Charles."

"Low profile and don't create a personality cult."

"."

After discovering that the live broadcast signal had been sent, Buckley immediately adjusted his status and entered the role of live broadcast commentary.

"It's such a shame that we couldn't witness the magical moment when STO scored 83 points in the last game, but this game is still very interesting."

Before Barkley could finish his words, Smith interjected: "Charles, have you forgotten? You said it before the start of the new season, saying that you would never commentate on Michael Jordan's games, especially Scott's. That game where the jersey was retired, you said it yourself."

"Did I say that? Oh, what a sin! I didn't know the opponent in that game was the Cleveland Cavaliers."

"Come on, Charles, there is no turning back. You must think twice before speaking in the future."

"Tch." Barkley snorted disdainfully and continued, "The Cavaliers and Pistons in this game are like the sharpest shield against the strongest shield. Which one is more powerful, able to pierce the shield, or the shield? The shield is stronger and can withstand Mao, and this game will give us the answer.”

Smith also said: "Before the game started, Ben Wallace of the Pistons had declared that they would get back the iron-blooded defense of the 'Bad Boy Army' to make Shentong, James and the Cavaliers look good."

"This kind of game is exciting. Now is the commercial time. After the commercial, let's get into the Cavaliers' away game against the Pistons."

Xinfei's advertising is good, but not as good as Xinfei's refrigerator.

After drinking Wahaha, eating is delicious.

If you want good skin, use Dabao morning and night.

A strong fragrance, a ray of warmth.

Master Kong instant noodles are delicious.

Hope your child will become a dragon, the little bully is a learning machine.

Embark on a light horse to achieve success.

The wine in Confucius' house makes people homesick.

After the commercial, the camera cuts to the stadium.

The starting players of both sides have already appeared.

The Cavaliers' starting five have not changed. Big Z is still in charge on the inside, Gooden and James are on the forward line, and the two defenders are Shentong and Wagner.

The Pistons' starting five are also very stable.

Center Ben Wallace, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Tayshaun Prince, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, point guard Chauncey Billups.

Before Shentong came on the court, he took a look at the puppet model in the Basketball God Space.

On the doll model, Jordan's North Carolina shorts have been attached.

{

Spiritual Deed: Jordan’s North Carolina shorts (Golden Legend)

Effect: Comprehensive improvement of court performance, all attributes increased by 3-0.

Enhance the scoring ability of the final attack.

Slightly increases luck value.

If the lower limit exceeds the upper limit after the attribute is enhanced, the excess will be added to the upper limit attribute value.

}

It is a golden legend, but the effect seems to be very average.

But don't underestimate its effectiveness.

The second part alone, "enhancing the scoring ability of the final attack", is not something to be underestimated.

You know, almost all of Shentong's other spiritual contract equipment are "slightly enhanced", but this effect directly removes the "slightly".

It shows that the effect it brings will be more obvious.

This in itself is already a big improvement.

Look at the previous effect again, all attributes are increased by 3-0.

The lower limit has been increased by 3 points, which is enough to ensure the stability of STO's performance.

The increase in the upper limit may not be fully utilized, but the increase in the lower limit is real.

With these two items, the value of these shorts is already worthy of the Golden Legend level, not to mention the addition of a "lucky value" attribute that everyone is obsessed with.

The game is about to begin.

Shentong looked at Hamilton beside him and almost shed tears.

I remember when I first entered the league, I sat on the bench and watched Hamilton play and learn his moves.

Thinking of the situation when no one paid attention to her at that time, and then thinking of her current achievements, Shentong recalled the hardships and remembered the sweetness. The strong contrast made Shentong almost cry.

Hamilton on the side was stunned. Looking at Shentong who was staring at him with red eyes, Hamilton didn't know what he had done wrong.

As the referee blows his whistle, the game officially begins.

Big Z's height advantage is so obvious that even with his head on his head, he can beat Wallace in a fight for the ball.

The Cavaliers got the ball and Wagner began to organize the offense.

As soon as the whistle blew, Shentong immediately put away his thoughts, his eyes changed, and he devoted himself to the court.

Gooden ran out to cover Shentong without the ball, but Hamilton clung to Shentong like a tarsal maggot.

Raising his hand, Shentong used his teammate's body cover next to Gooden to give Hamilton a hard push.

Hamilton was just about to fall down and cause an offensive foul on Shentong, but Gooden actually stretched out his hand and helped him.

Good guy, this cooperation is quite tacit!

Shentong, who got rid of Hamilton, ran to the free throw line, received a pass from James, and succeeded in a sudden jump shot.

A jump shot from the free throw line is almost as difficult for Shentong as a dunk under the basket.

In the live broadcast room, Barkley commented: "It looks like STO is still feeling hot!"

Smith said: "The game has just begun, and the Pistons' defensive pressure has not yet risen."
