The Fifth Point Guard

At the beginning of the second quarter, people saw a Nets running all over the court.

The players resolutely implemented Scott's arrangements between games on the court.

Of course, with Kidd in control of the rhythm, the youngsters of the Nets are always reassuring.

Like a kite flying in the sky, no matter how high it flies, the string is always in Kidd's hands.

There was a burst of sound at the Continental Arena.

Climax after another.

Chicken Ding connected, Martin roared with one hand under the basket, and finally let out a breath of anger.

It caused a shock outside the arena.

Then Ji Shen showed his strength, Kidd threw the ball to the basket in front of Parker, Shen Tong ignored Bowen's top defense and took off on the spot, received Kidd's pass with one hand and pressed it into the basket!

"Bruce, it's not your fault, it's my shoes that have wings." Shen Tong pointed to the new Adidas on his feet.

Even Kidd and Mark Lodge were able to connect online and completed a hunger and thirst cooperation.

Kidd broke into the paint, made a ground pass, and Mark Lodge scored easily with a basket.

When Kidd broke through and passed the ball to Kiddles on the outside.

In the second quarter, Kidd broke out suddenly. Facing the immature Parker, the seasoned Kidd took whatever he wanted and controlled the rhythm in his own hands.

As Scott expected, the Nets played at their favorite rhythm, undisturbed by the Spurs' rhythm.

Kidd deserves the most credit for his contribution.

During the dead ball interval, Parker looked at Kidd with admiration and said, "Kigo."

Kidd interrupted quickly and said, "You can just call me Jason."

Parker said: "Okay, Jason, your dribbling is really good, do you have any secrets?"

With a meaningful smile on Kidd's face, he replied, "Good luck."

At the end of the first half, the Nets overtook the Spurs by 1 point.

49-48

The trend of the game is quite anxious.

But the sophisticated Spurs seemed to have targeted arrangements during the intermission, disrupting the Nets' rhythm at the beginning of the second half.

Kidd's dribbling was frequently double-teamed by opponents, and Parker and Smith took turns to play, making Kidd's dribbling and passing no longer so easy.

Compared with Parker, Smith, who has been in the league for a full decade, has enough experience.

As for Shentong, it is still handed over to Bowen to post defenses.

Jefferson, who is often emptied, did not play well in the third quarter.

The emergency stop jump shot was missed.

A layup was blocked by Duncan.

Sorry from beyond the arc, Jefferson is shooting just 24 percent from beyond the arc this season, matching his number.

Alas, home fans.

The Nets, who played well in the second quarter, suddenly seemed unable to play in the third quarter.

When Scott was forced to call a timeout, the Nets trailed the Spurs by 10 points, 55-65.

Kidd was targeted by the Spurs and was severely restricted.

The third quarter has not sent an assist.

Popovich over there took out his fan, complacent.

He has already discovered the flaws of the Nets. It is true that there are many talented young people in this team, but there is only one real constraint, and that is Kidd, the master of field control.

As long as Kidd is blocked, the Nets' style of play will immediately become disorganized.

The trend of the game is also in line with their own predictions.

The little Nets are ridiculous.

Although his face is expressionless, he is secretly happy in his heart. This is the most basic cultivation of a spy - to control his face.

As the team coach, Scott doesn't know how important Kidd is to this team.

He is like a chip in a mobile phone.

Signal generator in the base station.

Thrusters in rockets.

If this point is strangled to death by the old and spicy Popovich, who can take on the heavy responsibility of carrying the Nets?

Scott looked solemn, scanning the young faces in front of him.

Shen Tong was digging his nose intently, when he suddenly found that Scott was staring at him, he quickly pulled out his finger.

"coach."

Scott raised his hand to stop Shen Tong from speaking, raised his head to the sky, and took a deep breath.

That's all!

I can only trust him.

"We're going to fight like this later."

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

Bowen is still close to Shentong, just like at the beginning of the game, and his defensive strength has not eased in the slightest.

Shen Tong moved, and Bowen chased after him.

There was a "bang".

Bowen was blocked by a strong man.

It's Martin.

Bowen immediately directed his teammates to make up the defense: "Steve, come forward and make up the defense."

Smith stood up, but who knew that another person blocked his way.

This time it was Jefferson.

Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines, could see clearly that the entire Nets team was playing for Shentong!

Through two pick-and-rolls, Shentong, who completely got rid of the Spurs' defense, stood on the outside line, received the pass, and raised his hand at the basket for a three-pointer!

The moment the ball was released, Shen Tong felt that the ball was bound to be scored!

"swish"

The wonderful sound of the ball grazing the net.

The home fans cheered up immediately and jumped from the benches.

A young man with a beer accidentally spilled the beer on the chest of the beautiful woman in the front row.

The surprised and angry beauty turned her head and was about to scold, when she suddenly found that the young man was not bad.

The sharp and cold eyes turned into expressive eyebrows, making it a good story overnight.

58-65

Duncan missed the board, and Mark Lodge roared to grab the defensive rebound.

With the help of the whole team, Shen Tong, who runs like the wind on the court, once again got the chance to shoot from outside.

When Shen Tong was running, the small wings on his feet were flapping, but the direction was backward instead of downward.

Shen Tong, with a small motor on his feet, took the ball and turned around directly, and then shot a three-pointer!

Sometimes, when the touch comes, it’s just a matter of two or three minutes, and the sea is as wide as a basket!

so easy.

Not surprisingly, Shentong hit the second three-pointer within 1 minute.

61-65

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Nets quickly approached the score.

Popovich put away his fan, stood up, and said to Bowen on the sidelines: "Let Shen play singles, and don't let him shoot three-pointers anymore."

When he sat back in his seat, Bobo blamed himself a little.

How could I forget that the Chinese guy made his debut on the perimeter at the very beginning.

Parker made an emergency stop and made a shot, stabilizing the Spurs.

Although only 19 years old, Popovich already saw the potential in his "P".

Now Bobo only sees the future prospects of the Duncan + Parker "DP" cannon combination, but he doesn't know that they will soon usher in a "G" point.

61-67

While the Nets were on offense, the Spurs changed their defense.

Bowen no longer defends close to the ball without the ball, but gives Shentong enough space to catch the ball.

When Shen Tong got the ball, the Spurs players took the initiative to open up the space as they did at the beginning of the first quarter, creating a one-on-one situation between Shen Tong and Bowen.

This is to restore the situation at the start of the game.

Popovich, who was sitting off the court, shook off his fan and swayed gently.

It is better for Shentong to face Bowen in singles than for the whole team to shoot three-pointers for him.

Shentong on the court is a little angry at the moment.

This shows that Popovich despises himself.

That being the case, then I will show it well!

Shen Tong's thin face showed a stern look, but an excited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Come on, show it!

Dribble, back hit, turn around, jump in the air.

Bowen and Duncan stepped forward to block at the same time.

One side guards the bottom road, and the other side guards the top road.

It's a pity, how can there be less mages in team battles!

The middle is wide open.

Although Shen Tong jumped very high, his boyish body was still there, and his waist and abdomen were really strong!

Shen Tong, who was in the air, leaned down, lowered his shot point, walked with his legs crossed, and danced a waltz in the air.

Taking advantage of the powerful staying in the air, Shentong avoided the upper and lower lanes, found a gap in the middle lane, hit the board and shot, and the ball bounced into the basket!

63-67

Popovich clenched the fan tightly.

I really didn't expect that this kid would be able to hit the ball against two of the team's strongest inside and outside defenders.

The gimmick of the best rookie really wasn't blown out.

In fact, the Spurs have already played a game with the Grizzlies in the West.

Although it was a 115-83 victory over the opponent, the Grizzlies scored 19 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocked shots. Paul Gasol left a deep impression on Popovich.

In his heart, a rookie who can play like this is definitely capable of winning the title of best rookie this season.

When he heard that the Nets had a player named Shen Tong, his voice was still higher than that of Gasol. He was still a Chinese rookie and an outside player.

Popovich sneered a little, thinking that it was just a flattery of the majority of Chinese media.

After watching the video of the game, I felt that this kid was really talented, so he formulated Bowen's single-defense tactic.

But after less than three quarters of the game, Popovich's mentality has gradually changed.

He even envied the coach Byron Scott on the other side.

He's got a young perimeter player with huge potential.

Shen Tong just waltzed in the air and you won the Nets cheerleaders, so Kidd, Martin and others couldn't help sending out a head-to-head kill.

Jefferson stepped forward and stretched out his palm silently.

Seeing that his friend was a little depressed, Shen Tong slapped him hard.

Facing Jefferson's surprised gaze, Shen Tong said with a smile: "What's the matter, Richard, the game is not over yet, the hand feels bad, so let's run more and play fast breaks! Remember to keep up with me later!"

Seeing Shen Tong's confident eyes, Jefferson nodded heavily.

Looking at the backs of Shentong and Mark Lodge hooking up and returning to the defense, Jefferson couldn't help feeling emotional.

I don't know when it started, but I have regarded Shentong as my most trusted comrade-in-arms, and even willingly obeyed his command and orders.

It is undeniable that something like leadership is innate, and it is difficult to catch up the day after tomorrow.

Although Shentong was only a bench player for most of the two years in college, I really saw Shentong's continuous improvement every day.

As Shen Tong said, the game is not over yet, now is not the time to be discouraged!

Smith made a three-pointer from the outside, which was Smith's first shot in this game.

That's right, throughout the first half, Smith, who was playing against Shentong, didn't take a single shot.

why?

Because this is what Popovich ordered him to consume Shentong's fighting spirit, making him a spectator and isolating him from the game.

As for allowing him to shoot in the second half, it is because Shentong has become the main attack point of the Nets.

Letting Smith participate in the attack at this time can distract Shentong's attention and consume Shentong's physical strength at the same time.

It has to be said that Popovich counted every step, and it really is an old glass.

Ah no, old fox.

"when"

Smith, who didn't shoot the whole game, felt cold and joined the army of blacksmiths.

Mark Lodge, Martin, Robinson, Duncan, four people fighting!

The ball that bounced high began to fall.

Mark Lodge's arm rested on Robinson's head, and Martin poked Duncan's nostril with the pinky of Martin's left hand.

Of course, the Spurs twin towers are not idle.

Robinson's elbow was on Martin's face, and Duncan's right foot was on Mark Lodge's thumb.

In short, there was a scuffle under the basket.

However, Robinson, who was born in the navy, was still superior. Relying on his height and wingspan, he took the lead in jumping and ran towards the rebound.

Just when Robinson was about to touch the ball, a big hand struck almost horizontally, grabbing the ball in his arms!

Oh my God!

Robinson was stunned.

Looking sideways, it was Shentong.

Did this guy grow up on springs?

Can dance too much!

Without waiting for his whereabouts, Shen Tong yelled directly: "Your family is here to plant trees!"

The ball flew straight upfield.

The speed of the ball is very fast, but there is no one in the frontcourt.

"You have a bathtub with fish!"

A galloping Jefferson appears in the shot.

After receiving Shentong's long pass, he ran to the opponent's basket.

Bowen, who has a keen sense of defense, has retreated in place.

Facing Jefferson's three steps, Bowen stuck firmly in front of Jefferson, blocking all of Jefferson's shots.

Seeing that the ball was about to be blocked, Jefferson threw the ball into the air behind him.

"Fish and fruit ripen into my belly!"

Along with Jefferson's chanting, Shen Tong, who just grabbed a rebound, has come to the opponent's half at this moment.

What a terrifying reaction and speed!

Shen Tong: Just throw it away.

Jefferson: Just dance and it's over.

Shen Tong vacated, grabbed Jefferson's lob pass with both hands, and took advantage of the inertia of galloping and jumping, directly to a two-handed gliding dunk!

"boom--"

The entire basket was trembling slightly.

After scoring the goal, Shen Tong fell from the basket, stared at Bo Wen beside him and said, "Your old lady is here to cook!"

Bash!

Bowen felt his heart beating hard.

It's okay to defend and get scored. This kid still provokes me with words every time after scoring a goal. That's okay. After provoking me, I can't defend!

Bowen clenched his fist, his left foot trembling slightly.

The score on the court was already 65-67.

Only 2 points left.

Popovich is no longer in the mood to fan the fan, and Shen Tong's outstanding performance is a bit too much.

Completely exceeded my expectations.

Encouraged by Shentong's strong performance, other young players are also motivated.

Robinson's strong attack at the basket was destroyed by Mark Lodge.

Duncan picked up the offensive rebound, and the ball thrown to the basket in the second attack was also fanned out by Martin!

For a while, the situation on the field reversed, and the Spurs fell into an offensive drought.

The situation in this game is really changing rapidly.

The game continued and the third quarter came to an end.

When Shen Tong took the ball, there was warm applause and cheers from the audience.

Bao Wen kept shaking his hands in front of Shen Tong, using a move called Thousand Arms Tathagata.

But Shentong doesn't care about you.

The white horse shot into the penalty area with a silver gun and made a layup against Bowen.

Under the strong performance of Shentong, the Nets finally tied the score at the end of the third quarter!

77-77

Shen Tong in the air was about to fall, when he suddenly noticed that the little wings on his feet were "thumping" very hard, as if reminding him of something.

Shen Tong looked down, and saw that Bo Wen quietly stretched out his left foot and placed it where his right foot had fallen.

mean!

The moment Shen Tong realized it, he made a decision.

The little wing suddenly reversed and went upward with all its strength, and Shen Tong also put the entire center of gravity of his body on his right leg.

There was a muffled "poof".

Bowen's face turned green.

"Ah~~~"

Howling like a dead pig.

Holding his left foot with both hands, he fell to the ground arched.

Jefferson looked up and couldn't help being speechless.

My dear, the little toe of the left sneaker was crushed!

Shen Tong sneered.

If you dare to use yin, this is your end.

On the court, everything speaks with strength, and Shentong despises and despises this kind of indiscriminate means.

With the support of his teammates, Bowen limped off the field.

In the fourth quarter, the atmosphere of the game was suffocating.

The two sides took the lead alternately, and the maximum point difference did not exceed 4 points.

Shentong's outstanding performance forced Popovich to change his tactics.

Kidd gets a break.

The two sides returned to normal play.

To say that Bowen is also a tough guy, he was stepped on by Shentong, and he continued to play in the fourth quarter.

Bowen: Huh, countless people have stepped on my feet. I have practiced this kind of move countless times, which hurts others by a thousand and hurts myself by eight hundred. It's not a big deal.

The coaches of both sides battled wits and courage.

Players from both sides fought fiercely.

Unknowingly, the game went to the last minute.

At this time, there are still 26 seconds before the end of the game. The two sides are tied at 98 and the Spurs have the ball.

This critical moment is to see the performance of the stars of their respective teams.

Whether a player is a superstar, you don't need to watch the first 47 minutes of 48 minutes, you only need to watch who has the ball in the last minute, and you should know who is a superstar.

The Spurs Parker dribbled the ball outside, consuming time under Popovich's behest.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The fans at Continental Arena were not stingy with their voices.

When there were 5 seconds left in the clock, Parker made a move and Duncan ran out from the inside.

Simple pick-and-roll fit.

With Martin in the front and Kidd in the back, Parker passed the ball to Duncan in the high post.

Duncan, standing at the top of the arc, did not hesitate. After getting the ball, he aimed directly at the basket and shot calmly for 24 seconds.

Although the shot was critical, Duncan didn't seem to have any pressure, just like a shot during practice during warmups.

But it was accompanied by a muffled sound of "boom".

Duncan's long shot hit the back edge of the rim and bounced into the basket.

Even as calm as Duncan, he raised his arms and clenched his fists after the ball hit.

Parker and Robinson immediately stepped forward to congratulate the goal.

The home fans were in mourning.

Only 2 seconds left.

Although the Nets still have the last chance to attack, it is too difficult.

Scott called a timeout immediately.

Who will carry out the last attack?

Kidd, Shentong or Martin?

Scott took out the tactical whiteboard and called all the basketball players together.

The key attack in the last 2 seconds is arranged.
