The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 600: San Antonio, easy to get in and hard to get out of (4k)

A Porsche 911 speeds by on the road.

After the game, Shentong couldn't wait to drive to the hospital.

At the door, I met the confinement nanny who had just closed the door.

"Sir, you are here. Madam is breastfeeding the baby."

"Shh, you go ahead, I'll go in by myself."

The confinement sister-in-law nodded and went to the next room.

Shentong opened the door gently, closed it behind his back, and then walked quietly to Dubov.

Hearing the movement behind him, Dubov turned around and saw that it was Shentong. He felt relieved and gave Shentong a flirtatious look, which made Shentong extremely excited.

Ever since Dubov became pregnant, Shentong has been restraining herself for fear of causing fetal contractions.

After giving birth to a baby, Dobrev, a first-time mother, lost the tenderness of a girl and gained a touch of charm.

Playing three consecutive games at home is not a treatment that every defending champion has.

In recognition of last season's overseas games, the league gave the Cavaliers a very good starting schedule.

But after the sweet schedule, the Cavaliers' first road trip is to Death Texas to start the Southwest Division trip.

They will have away games against the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Hornets.

Among them, the Spurs and Mavericks are both strong players in the Western Conference, and the Hornets are also stars in the transfer market this season.

With the addition of Tyson Chandler, Peja Stojakovic and other strong players, as well as the rapidly growing Chris Paul and David West, the Hornets have remained undefeated since the start of this season. He has high hopes and is expected to become a dark horse in the Western Conference.

These three away games are definitely not easy. Although the Cavaliers have won three consecutive victories in the first three home games without any danger, Paul Silas repeatedly emphasized before the team went to the away games that they must be mentally tight and cannot have any mistakes. No need to relax at all, especially since the Spurs and Mavericks are both favorites to win this year's championship.

The Cavaliers' first road trip is to the San Antonio Spurs, which is easy to get in and hard to get out of.

What is easy in and hard out?

Easy to get in, hard to get out.

There are countless players who came to challenge the Spurs with their legs intact, and then left here limping or holding their waists.

Such as Carter, such as Szczerbiak, such as Ray Allen, such as Nash

It was able to cause so much damage because Bruce Bowen was here, and later Robert Horry came.

Although STO launched a boycott of Bowen in the players union last season and caused the league to severely punish Bowen, Popovich's protection allowed Bowen to continue his dirty work unscathed after being suspended for several games. dirty.

In fact, Ray Allen should be the most angry about Bowen.

Allen and Bowen were still good friends back then, very good friends, and their families knew each other.

During a game, Allen on the offensive end and Bowen on the defensive end collided. The two fell to the ground at the same time, and then Bowen kicked Allen hard with his foot.

It was this behavior that caused the friendship between Allen and Bowen to completely break down, and the two have been strangers since then.

So when everyone comes to play in San Antonio, what they are most resistant to and afraid of is not Duncan, but this dirty, despicable and shameless Bowen.

The Spurs are still slow to start the new season, with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the first 3 games.

The team's interior has undergone a major overhaul.

Former tough guys Mohammed and Nesterovic have both left the Spurs, replaced by Francisco Elson and Argentine national team member Fabricio Oberto.

The strength of the center position continues unabated.

As for the Spurs' GDP combination, after several seasons of running-in, it has completely become a machine for Popovich's tactical execution.

The power of the stone Buddha + sports car + demon sword began to gradually show its true appearance.

In the first three games, GDP averaged 55.1 points, 18.2 rebounds, 12.4 assists, 3.4 steals and 2.9 blocks per game.

According to the Spurs' habit of slowing down, the contribution of these three people to the team will only get higher and higher.

In addition, the Spurs' role players began to emerge in the team's tactical system.

These players each perform their duties and polish their weapons to shine brighter and brighter.

Michael Finley, Brent Barry, Matt Bonner, Robert Horry, Benno Udrih.

The Spurs' role players are as good as any other team in the league.

Especially the player named Bonner. According to scouting reports, his performance in college was very similar to that of Scalabrine, who was selected by the Nets.

As the team's mascot, he has a winning aura. The team's victory has always been around 70% during college.

Since the Spurs do not have four major shooting guards, the completion of long-term tasks has nothing to do with this game.

Although the "mission" system of Basketball God Space has been closed at the beginning of the new season, some specially activated tasks will still appear in the daily game.

Before the game started, James specifically reminded Shentong.

"Hey, brother, the one guarding you today is Bruce Bowen. You have to be careful. You have a high proportion of breakthroughs recently. Be careful of that guy stumbling upon you."

Shentong nodded and said: "That's right, I will be careful."

Anyone facing Bowen's defense will be prepared in advance.

Before the game was about to start, the starting players of both sides came on the stage. Bowen also took the initiative to greet Shentong, but Shentong didn't pay much attention to him.

The Cavaliers' starting five remain unchanged.

In addition to the GDP trio and Bowen, the Spurs' center is Oberto.

Oberto joined the Spurs directly without going through the draft.

As early as 1998, Oberto won the MVP of the Argentine Basketball League. In 2004, he won the Olympic gold medal with the national team.

In the world arena, Oberto is a powerful inside player. He is very tough on both offense and defense. He has solid offensive steps at the basket and is good at rebounding.

But when he joined the NBA, Oberto was already too old.

Born in 1975, he is now 31 years old.

With the Spurs and Duncan, Oberto's only goal is to win an NBA championship ring.

Big Z and Oberto stood in the center circle preparing to jump ball.

Shentong glanced at Bowen beside him, who actually smiled at him.

This is really the sun coming out in the west.

Bowen has always been expressionless on the basketball court, and he and Duncan are collectively known as the two idiots.

But today Bowen took the initiative to show his kindness to him. Could it be that he took the lead in attacking him last time and made him afraid?

Shen Tong turned around and did not respond.

Bowen's expression changed from smiling to gloomy and vicious in an instant.

At the beginning of the game, Big Z took the lead in winning the ball for the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

Although Shentong and Ginobili are serious matchups, the Spurs still use Bowen to guard Shentong and Ginobili to guard James due to fear of Shentong's scoring ability.

Facing Bowen, the fuse of STO's challenge was ignited again.

In the last game against Carter, Shentong faced talent. In this game against Bowen, it was technology.

At the very least, Bowen is a player born for defense.

first step!

Bowen was so fast that his eyes flashed, and the person passed by!

Get past Bowen in one step!

Popovich, who was sitting courtside, was shocked.

This was the first time I saw Bowen being passed by without any reaction when defending the opponent.

Bowen passed by in one step, and all the Spurs players stood stunned on the spot, not even reacting.

What a big vacancy.

Shentong made an emergency stop jump shot, as if he was sitting in the air, aiming accurately at the basket and shooting the ball steadily.

The moment the ball flies out of your fingertips, it feels comfortable.

Shentong knew that this goal would definitely be scored.

"Uh-huh."

Hollow hit.

Shentong scored the first goal of the game for the Cavaliers.

Bowen looked at Shentong who was returning to defense, with a flash of surprise in his heart.

Never in his defensive career has he faced a player with such a quick first step.

Tightening his heart, Bowen knew that he would face a very difficult defensive task in this game.

It's the Spurs' turn to attack.

The Spurs' offensive tactics are actually not complicated.

The game was handed over to Duncan at the beginning, and he decided to attack independently or distribute the ball. When Parker or Ginobili had the ball on the outside, they would step forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, and GP would complete the offense or Duncan would finish with a high jumper.

After getting the ball, Duncan backed up Gooden.

Duncan, who had the upper hand in height confrontation, turned around in an instant and immediately put Gooden behind him.

After taking a dribble, Duncan grabbed the ball with his broad palm and rushed into the paint with his arms raised.

Even though Big Z is 2.21 meters tall, he can't stop the stone Buddha from overwhelming him.

Smashing the ball into the basket with one arm, Big Z could only watch on the spot.

The gap between humans and Buddhas is now visible to the naked eye.

It was rare for Duncan to have such a strong performance at the beginning of the game, which made Duncan's wife Amy in the audience extremely excited.

Jumping up and waving his hands, he also swung his butt, cheering Duncan on with his hot performance.

In 2001, Duncan and Amy held their wedding in July.

The two have always been a model couple in the eyes of the media and fans.

In June last year, little Sydney, the fruit of their love, was born.

Duncan, who was blessed with a daughter, worked harder and harder to make money.

And Amy was not idle either. She paid great attention to her figure and started recovery training one month after giving birth. She also found a male trainer named Jill in the gym for personal training.

Private training Private training means private teaching.

This male coach not only has good hands and body, but also has excellent dancing skills.

He was once a popular pole dancer!

Duncan is a good man, but he is too dull.

The male coach named Jill has a mouth that is like honey. He has a completely different style of treating women than Duncan. He often teases Amy to the point of trembling during fitness.

From touching her buttocks to practice raising her buttocks at the beginning, to touching her chest to practice raising her chest after getting familiar with it, and finally to helping Amy practice squats and presses by staying close to her body.

Finally, one day, on a night of thunder and lightning and pouring rain,

This night was a disaster for San Antonio, but for the Rockets, who hated the Spurs, it was a victory for Houstonians.

Because Gil is a Houstonian.

Why do the Rockets hate the Spurs?

Because there can only be one boss in Texas!

Not to mention the Spurs, the Mavericks and Rockets hate them even more.

So Amy gradually began to transfer her emotions to Jill.

At this moment, the two of them were just getting started.

But Amy still has love for Duncan. After all, the two have been together since college.

Although Duncan is dull, he is an honest and good man!

Heidi Klum: I'm such an honest and good person!

So when Jill was getting her hair done, Amy would still occasionally go to Spurs home games to cheer for Duncan.

In fact, only she knew that this was to make up for her debt to Duncan.

The Spurs quickly entered the state at home, changing their usual slowness.

According to Popovich's pre-game arrangements, their strategy for this game is to try their best to curb STO's performance.

Obviously, it cannot be contained.

So they immediately launched plan B.

Cut off STO’s connection with the team.

Frequently separated Shentong's passing routes from the other four players, forcing Shentong to play singles.

He is just a player, and his physical fitness is limited after all. Even if the whole court gives him the ball, how many points can he score?

The answer came quickly. In just 5 minutes of the first quarter, STO scored 12 points!

12 points in half quarter.

Bowen was almost beaten to tears.

He has never faced an offensive player so helpless.

The last time he felt the same way was when he sent a love letter to the opposite sex for the first time in junior high school.

But the feeling Shentong gave him was not sweet at all.

Instead, there was a trembling of terror that made my heart tremble.

"You can't play like this! I will be disabled." Bowen complained to Popovich during the timeout.

Popovich glanced at the technical statistics panel, turned to Ginobili and said: "You help Bruce double-team."

Therefore, the Spurs had to adopt Plan C and adopt a double-teaming tactic against Shentong.

It is said that the Spurs have GDP, but the Cavaliers also have SLD (plastic bag) combination.

Ginobili's double-teaming will inevitably give other Cavaliers players opportunities.

Shentong assisted James on two consecutive mid-range jumpers.

This summer, James focused on practicing mid-to-long-range shooting in order to be able to hit open shots with great confidence when Shentong was double-teamed.

STO once told him that the more accurate your shots are, the closer we will be to three consecutive championships.

You are the key to our three consecutive championships.

James took these words to heart.

After James scored two consecutive shots, the Spurs immediately launched a targeted defense against James.

But then Wagner stood up again.

Shentong jumped up and passed the ball after being double-teamed.

Although his eyes were on James, the ball was given to Wagner.

At this time, due to James' restraint, Parker had already raised his foot and ran towards James. Unexpectedly, Shentong passed the ball to Wagner.

Wagner received the ball from the outside without any hesitation and shot a three-pointer.

The hand lifts and drops the knife, cleanly.

This summer, Wagner focused on practicing three-point shooting, in order to be able to hit the open three-pointer with great confidence when Shentong was double-teamed.

Shentong once said to him, the more accurate your three-pointers are, the closer we will be to three consecutive championships.

You are the key to our three consecutive championships.

Wagner took these words to heart.

Of course, neither of them knew about each other.

Moreover, they did not expect that there would be two keys to victory.
