The Fifth Point Guard

After defeating the Nets, the entire Wizards team was in high spirits.

"General" Arenas played the best season of his career, and his popularity is close to that of the "Big Six Shooting Guards".

The trident he formed with Jamison and Butler is known as the strongest trio in Wizards history.

Before the series against the Cavaliers, all Wizards players expressed when facing the media was their desire to win and their ambition to defeat the Cavaliers to prove themselves.

But compared to the fervent ambitions of his disciples, Wizards coach Eddie Jordan is very rational.

Facing reporters, Jordan said: "The Cavaliers are a young but mature team. They have the experience of winning championships, and they also have the best player in the league, Shentong. He and LeBron are simply the contemporary Jordan and LeBron. Pippen's combination, it's very difficult to beat them. I know this series will be a hard battle, but I will lead our boys to the best state and let's see what happens. .”

The first battle between the two sides was in Cleveland.

The Wizards played very proactively on the road with the momentum of eliminating the Nets.

Daniels followed Shentong closely throughout the game, and other players chased and intercepted Shentong at any time.

After the first three quarters, the Wizards led by 12 points on the road.

Arenas has already scored 22 points, while Shentong was defended and only scored 14 points.

When he left the field at the end of the third quarter, rookie player Andre Blach came to Arenas and said: "Hey, Gilbert, you are much better than your former college teammates. You can definitely play on both offense and defense." Blast him, keep scoring points in the fourth quarter, and bang him as hard as you can!"

Arenas also drifted.

"No problem, leave it all to me, everything is under my control."

When the two were having a conversation, Shentong happened to be right next to him, as well as Wizards coach Eddie Jordan.

Shentong didn't say anything and walked over directly.

Jordan suddenly said when Shen passed by: "Shen, don't care about what the rookie said, and Gilbert, you know."

Shentong replied expressionlessly: "You just need to see if I can fuck him or not."

Returning to the bench, Shentong rarely became angry.

"I want all of you bitches to cheer me up and be sure to stop them in the fourth quarter and let them feel the terror of our Cleveland team!"

Then

In the fourth quarter, Shentong scored 20 points in a single quarter, while the Wizards, who were defended by the Cavaliers, only scored 4 points in 7 minutes.

And caused the Wizards two 24-second offensive violations.

Arenas only scored 4 points in the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers scored 35-10 in the last quarter and even withdrew all their main players when they led by 15 points before the end of the game.

Brac: "Brother, now I finally understand the terror of Shentong. I surrendered. I will never dare to be presumptuous in front of him again. I was wrong."

Arenas: "Hey"

Jordan: "What did I say before the game? You just didn't listen. You can't use trash talk against Shentong, you can only use rainbow farts!"

In the second game, all the Wizards players shut up and focused only on the game itself.

Such wizards are more threatening.

The two sides played offensive basketball, Arenas scored 37 points, but STO was even more exaggerated, scoring 50 points.

James contributed a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists.

The Cavaliers won again 127-120 amid the cheers of their home fans, taking a 2-0 lead.

The road trip has not been smooth sailing.

The Wizards played well at home, and Arenas even played his best game.

He scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and held Wagner to only 2 points on the defensive end.

Butler and Jamison also had a blast in this game, scoring 21 and 20 points respectively.

The Cavaliers finally tasted defeat in Washington after winning six straight games in the playoffs.

105-117, the Wizards finally won a game.

After smelling the loss, the Cavaliers reacted immediately.

The regrouped Cavaliers came together in Game 4.

Shen Tong set an example by taking the lead, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.

On the offensive end, Daniels succeeded in consecutive singles, but replacing Butler, Jamison and even Arenas was equally useless.

On the defensive end, he frequently caused mistakes by the Wizards trio with his stealthy steals.

Driven by Shentong, James and Wagner, who performed poorly in the last game, also performed wonderfully.

There is no solution for the knight tonight.

120-93, the Cavaliers immediately gave the Wizards a counterattack.

The Cavaliers, who had a 3-1 lead, did not let the suspense continue.

The Cavaliers, who returned home, suddenly regained their defensive intensity, which made the Wizards, who had been playing against the Cavaliers, very uncomfortable.

The change of pace made the Wizards feel lost throughout the game.

98-87, the Cavaliers made another victory, eliminating the Wizards with a score of 4-1.

After the game, Shentong and Arenas hugged for a full minute.

It has to be said that Arenas' achievements are indeed extraordinary compared to his ranking.

In particular, he does not have the support of the basketball god's space.

"Hey, Shen, I have to admit that you are more powerful. Let's move towards the championship. In the summer, this is still your villa. I want to become stronger!"

"It's a deal, I will bring the championship trophy back for you to play with."

We can't help but cherish each other.

As for those pre-game provocations and in-game trash talk, laugh it off.

The Heat, who have O'Neal and Wade, have also recruited powerful assistants such as Williams, Walker, Posey and Payton. In addition, the "magic fortune teller" Riley has stepped from behind the curtain to the front, and the Heat have ushered in a new era. Very good burning opportunity.

In the game against the Pistons, O'Neal stood up against Double Wallace.

O'Neal is holding up on the top lane, and Wade, the Flash on the bottom lane, has strong output.

With Payton, who has rich game experience, as an assistant, the whole team took off.

As for Walker in the middle and Posey in the jungle, they can just take the kills.

Three-point knife cuts through the heart.

The Heat were flying in all directions, and the Pistons couldn't resist it.

After being eliminated by the Heat 2-4, Ben Wallace looked up and sighed: "It's all support!"

Billups: "Thank you."

After this battle, Wallace, who was facing a contract renewal, had thoughts of leaving.

After the Eastern Conference determined the two finalists without any bloodshed, the Western Conference was in a state of melee.

The Mavericks and Spurs met in advance in the Western Conference semifinals due to format issues.

After losing the first game, the Mavericks went on to win three games in a row.

Nowitzki went to the free throw line 24 times in Game 3, showing a tough guy side.

Facing a desperate situation of 1-3, the Spurs regained two games and dragged the game into a tiebreaker.

But Ginobili's "unbelievable" completely unnecessary foul allowed Nowitzki to complete 2+1 and drag the game into overtime.

The Mavericks, who were lucky enough to join overtime, used Diop to limit Duncan, defeated the Spurs 119-111, and narrowly escaped death and entered the Western Conference Finals.

The entire series between the Suns and Clippers was surprising.

I thought this series was just a formality for the Suns, but who knew that the Clippers, led by captain Elton Brand, played a cockroach style.

Whenever the invincible Xiaoqiang is behind by a big score, he immediately wins a game to equalize the score.

When the Suns won 1, 3, and 5 in their first 6 games, the Clippers immediately responded by winning 2, 4, and 6.

In the end, in the tiebreaker, seven Suns players scored in double figures, and they ended the series with a score of 127-107.

After winning, Diaw happily said when facing the media that the series was finally over. If it hadn't been 4 wins in 7 games, he really thought that the two teams might have to play 100 games to decide the winner.

The Eastern Conference Finals are between the Cavaliers and Heat.

The Cavaliers at home won the first game 91-86.

STO took over the game in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter. He scored 13 points under Wade's defense, helping the Cavaliers who were lagging behind to overtake and win.

The Heat played even better in the second game.

O'Neal is like a whale in spring, turning the tide inside the Cavaliers.

Wade also broke out after being criticized by the media for being "a player lower than STO" in the first game and scored 32 points.

The Heat tied the score 92-88 at 1-1 on the road.

Just when people thought the Heat had a chance to win two consecutive games at home, the Cavaliers told them it was impossible with a 98-83 victory.

Shentong led the Cavaliers to a 15-point victory with 35 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

Under STO's defense, Wade, who had a huge victory in the last game, only scored 21 points.

In the fourth game, the Cavaliers still didn't give the Heat any chance.

They defeated the Heat 98-74. Surprisingly, they won two consecutive away games and rewritten the score to 3-1.

This kind of game process made experts say they couldn't understand it.

Barkley even said: "The Cleveland Cavaliers are completely unlike a young team with an average age of only 25 years old. It only took them one game to bottom out, while the Miami Heat did not expect that they would win a victory on the road. The price paid. Also, I have to remind Gary Payton, shut up. Your trash talk about Shentong is not helpful to the Heat at all. You are helping the Cavaliers. Add fuel to the fire.”

The Heat were unwilling to fail, and they exploded with unprecedented power in the sixth game.

91-78 away victory over the Cavaliers.

The score of 78 points is also the Cavaliers' lowest score in a single game this season.

Shentong was defended by Wade from the beginning of the game, and was frequently double- or even triple-teamed during the half.

The Heat used a defensive game to steal a victory for themselves on the road.

But as Barkley said, the Cavaliers' rebound speed is always extraordinary.

Back in Miami, the Cavaliers once again turned the tables and defeated the Heat 95-78. They eliminated their opponents with a score of 4-2, won the Eastern Conference championship, and entered the finals!

Although Shentong only scored 20 points in this game, he sent 15 assists and 14 rebounds. He used different methods on both offense and defense to help the team defeat the Heat.

After this series, Wade admitted to the media that Shentong was his role model and that he was still far behind him, and wished the Cavaliers good luck.

The Mavericks faced off against the Suns in the Western Conference Finals, and it was like an Old Friends show between Nowitzki and Nash.

The two teams are very familiar with each other and both have a fast-paced style that focuses on jump shots.

With the first four games tied at 2-2, Nowitzki scored 50 points in the Battle of Tianwangshan and led his team to a 4-2 victory over the Western Conference championship and into the finals.

In this way, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks will meet on the stage of the Finals on behalf of the East and West respectively.

As the playoffs progress, the rest of the league's various awards this season have also been released.

Ben Wallace of the Pistons won the "Defensive Player of the Year" honor again.

He averaged 7.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.2 blocks per game this season. Wallace, who is only 2.06 meters tall, has become an inspirational model.

The Sixth Man of the Year award was awarded to J.R. Smith of the Cavaliers.

Smith, who came to the Cavaliers this season, has been transformed, averaging 12.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and shooting 40.7% from three-point range.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' ability to win 67 games this season is not unrelated to Smith's outstanding performance.

The Most Improved Player award was awarded to the Suns' "French Magician" Boris Diaw.

With Stoudemire out due to injury, Diaw bravely filled the hole.

Averaging 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, Diaw brought his gorgeous style of play to the inside, allowing the Solar Storm to continue to rage.

The best coach was naturally awarded to Paul Silas, who led the team to 67 wins this season.

This makes Sanders, who has 64 wins, Popovich, who has 63 wins, and Johnson, who has 60 wins, envious.

These three people believe that the gap between them and Silas is only one STO.

The finals between the 67-win Cavaliers and the 60-win Mavericks are about to begin.

Before the game, about 70% of people were optimistic about the Cavaliers and 30% were optimistic about the Mavericks.

The night before the game.

Nina Dobrev cooked a midnight snack and went to the training room to find Shentong.

Shentong always practices late in his training room these days.

When Dubov gently pushed open the door, Shen Tong was sweating and breathing heavily.

"Shen, it's getting late. It's time to rest. I also made some midnight snacks for you. Go eat them while they're hot."

Shentong's breathing gradually calmed down.

Standing up straight, Shentong took off his soaked shirt, revealing his strong upper body, and said with a smile: "I'm going to rinse off right now."

After that, Shentong walked up to Dubov, bent down and gently stroked Dubov's belly and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't wait for me, go to bed early, and leave the late night snacks to the servants." .”

Dubov said angrily: "It's only 3 months. I can't walk around. I don't even have the strength to make some late-night snacks. Besides, I can't sleep without you by my side."

"Okay, okay." Shentong wiped his sweat with a towel in one hand, and walked to the bedroom holding Dubov's hand with the other.

On the last night of the All-Star Game, Shentong hit the bullseye with one shot.

It’s been three months.

Shentong is determined to win the championship trophy as a gift to Dubov and his new little life.

On June 8, 2006, the eyes of the world were focused on Cleveland.

The first game of the NBA Finals is about to start here.

Both sides have complete lineups, no injuries, and both have achieved good results in the regular season.

These two teams deserve to be able to reach the finals.

The referee looked at the time and signaled the starting players from both sides to enter.
