The Fifth Point Guard

That night, Shen Tong's family stayed in New Jersey for one night.

Early the next morning, Shen Qing took Shen Tong to the 4S shop to look at the car.

This is what Shen Tong promised to the elder sister.

Here comes the interesting part.

What Shen Qing chose was not a famous luxury car, but a mini cooper that BMW had just acquired.

In fact, Shentong has never understood why so many girls like this car.

The history of mini cooper can be traced back to 1957, when a Sir Alec Isconi started designing mini.

In 1958, the first mini prototype was born.

In 1959, the mini was officially launched.

In 1999, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the mini, 25 mini fans in New York squeezed into a mini car at the same time, breaking the record for the highest number of people in a single car.

In the same year, mini was elected as the car of the century in Europe.

This car originally belonged to the Rover Motor Company in the UK, and it has strong traces of British cars: exquisiteness, fun, vigor and freedom.

In 2000, Rover handed over the management rights of the car to BMW in Germany, which also represented the birth of the new mini.

After being remodeled by German BMW, the new mini car includes higher automobile technology, higher-level production technology and more prominent product features on the basis of the original one. Most importantly, it has a stronger brand image.

Therefore, the mini cooper in the eyes of most people is actually very different from the original design concept and modeling technology. However, relying on BMW's car brand and its long history, the mini cooper still has a large number of car fans. .

Shen Tong asked Shen Qing: "Sister, are you sure you want this one?"

Shen Qing nodded very firmly, and said: "Yes, I have been looking at this car for a long time. You see, this car has a small and sharp appearance, and the interior is stylish with retro elements. Under the gorgeous appearance, there is a sullen heart hidden, with strong power and flexible handling.”

"Stop!" Shen Tong hurriedly asked Shen Qing to stop talking.

The two children of Lao Shen's family are completely different from the usually silent Lao Shen. When it comes to eloquence, they are all outstanding. What's more, Shen Qing is a legal major, so speaking is even more terrible. This will make her I'm afraid I can't finish talking even after the sun goes down.

Since my sister likes it, then it's settled.

The female salesperson of the 4S store looked at the young Shentong suspiciously.

Upon hearing "full payment", the female salesperson immediately showed a mouthful of white teeth and a signature smile.

"You are so kind to your girlfriend." The female salesperson said with a smile.

This flattery was patted on the horse's leg.

Shen Tong scratched his nose and said, "She is my sister."

When she heard that she was not a girlfriend, the attitude of the female salesperson became more enthusiastic. While handing over various forms to Shen Qing to fill out, she also enthusiastically took Shen Tong to visit and introduced several other BMW models in the 4S store.

Here comes the interesting part.

Led by the female salesperson, Shentong came to the booth of the BMW 7 Series, and the other party began to introduce this car to Shentong in detail.

"Hello, sir. The car in front of you is an S-shaped car. The paint is white and bright. It is well-maintained. It has double-lens headlights and a round and thick rear line. There is a slight sense of jitter, and the sound insulation effect of the vehicle is average. When you lightly step on the accelerator, there will be water dripping out of the rear exhaust pipe, and the direct injection in the cylinder is very cool.”

STO:"."

Picking up the car in full, without queuing, after swiping the card and filling in the materials, Shen Qing drove the car and drove Shentong out of the 4S shop.

Before parting.

"Sister, on the way back, don't overtake, just drive behind our parents' car." Shen Tong lay on the window of the car and specially told her.

"Okay, okay, brother, it's not the first time for me to drive, hello, hello." After finishing speaking, Shen Qing kissed Shen Tong's face, and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother!"

"Beep."

Accompanied by the sound of the horn, the two cars drove out slowly, Shen Tong waved his hands, and after a brief reunion, they parted again.

Seeing the mini cooper turning left when turning right, Shen Tong couldn't help but think of a sentence: A woman without a car is a virtue.

After the sweet consecutive home games, the team finally embarked on an away trip. This time, the opponent was the king who had ruled the league for several years, the brilliant team that had won three consecutive championships twice - the Chicago Bulls.

After selecting Michael Jordan with the No. 3 pick in 1984, he led the Bulls to two three-peats in 1991-93 and 1996-98, becoming the NBA with the most championships outside of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers team.

In the 1995-96 season, the Bulls at their peak even created the best record in league history with 72 wins and 10 losses in 82 regular season games!

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, and more were all big names at the time.

It is a pity that the current Bulls have long since lost the glory of the past.

The Bulls in the post-Jordan era are struggling in the league and are currently ranked third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference with 4 wins and 11 losses.

The current Chicago Bulls do not lack young players with potential. Jamal Crawford, Eddie Curry, Tyson Chandler and other players all have potential and have become the team's immediate combat power.

However, although they already have Eddie Curry and Tyson Chandler, the Bulls' starting center is still Brad Miller.

The 2.11-meter center does not seem to stand out in terms of height or strength, but this undrafted player has a vigor all over his body. He is the only guy in the league who dares to provoke Shaquille O'Neal.

In a game between the Bulls and the Lakers, Miller got O'Neal several times, and finally the Sharks became anxious and chased Miller.

Although he has no ability to parry in the face of the big sharks, Miller has won himself the reputation of "white villain", which also makes Miller's advantage in the CIC infinitely magnified, overwhelming the "little shark". The so-called Eddie Curry, served as the starter.

As for the power forward, Tyson Chandler, who can play both inside positions, was placed in the starting list by the coach. Chandler, who is 2.16 meters tall, has average scoring ability but outstanding defensive ability. Although he averaged only 1.3 blocks per game, But he's one of those guys who can interfere with your shot.

It just lets you shoot and can't cover you, but it can greatly reduce your shooting percentage, and it rarely fouls.

The starting player for the small forward is Ron Mercer, who has good scoring ability and started his career with the Celtics in 1997. In the draft that year, Boston selected Mercer with the 6th overall pick. This player averaged 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 steals in his rookie season. Last season, Mercer also developed a one-handed three-pointer, and his scoring average also increased to 19.7 points per game. Although his scoring power was not strong, he played steadily.

Mercer has not averaged less than 15 points per game in any of his first five seasons so far.

The starting position of shooting guard is quite stable. Ron Artest, this guy's name has not been changed to Charity-World-Peace at this time. change back

After breaking Jordan's two ribs during the offseason of last season, Artest also got the nickname "The Beast". Every player knows that he must not mess with Artest on the court, because this guy's brain is not very Well, you never know what he'll do.

Come to think of it, even Kobe doesn't trash talk much in front of Artest because he's "Mr. Ron Artest".

With the same height of 2.03 meters as Mercer, Artest can also play the second and third positions, but Artest, who has a stronger long-range shooting ability, was placed by the coach at the shooting guard position.

This season, Artest averaged 15.6 points (3.7 points higher than last season), 4.9 rebounds (1 higher than last season), 2.9 assists and 2.8 steals (0.8 higher than last season) and 0.9 rebounds per game. Blocked shots, shooting percentage increased to 43.3%, and three-point shooting percentage suddenly became enlightened, soaring to 39.6%, an increase of 10.5 percentage points from last season, 3.4 shots and 1.3 hits are the highest in his career.

It seems that the hard training in the summer was not in vain. The blow to Jordan also allowed Artest to build up his confidence that he can compete with superstars!

The position of point guard is the weakness of the Bulls. After searching for players, they can't find a qualified starter. Greg Anthony can be regarded as the general among the lame. As a tramp in the league, Anthony, who played for ten years, was ordered to start in his fifth team. He played well, averaging 8.4 points and 5.6 assists per game.

Judging from this starting lineup, it is not without reason that the Bulls' record is at the bottom of the league.

Here comes the interesting part.

Although this team has a poor record, no team wants to meet them.

why?

Because in addition to Miller and Artest, this team also has a guy, Charles - Oakley.

This guy, but anyone who has a little knowledge of the NBA fans in the 1980s, it is impossible not to have heard of his name.

With a tough style of play and a hot temper, it was known to everyone in that era.

In the eyes of the fans, this New York old ghost with a slender body and a strong body is a kickboxing enthusiast, in the eyes of his opponents, he is a heinous villain, and in the eyes of his teammates, he is a big brother who can be fully trusted.

Under the guidance of Oakley, coupled with the example of Miller and Artest, this Chicago Bulls team took an unusual path and often made some noise in the game.

Facing the young New Jersey Nets, the Chicago Bulls sitting at home are waiting for work and have formulated very comprehensive countermeasures.
