The Fifth Point Guard

One side is Mike Bibby, the head point guard who won the trust in the second year of the Kings.

On one side is Shentong, a popular fried chicken in New Jersey who is supported by 100 million fans.

When the two finished bickering and were about to go one-on-one, the other players couldn't help opening up space and giving them a one-on-one fight.

Everyone is watching this battle.

The difference is that the players on the court enjoy close-range VIP treatment.

Although Bibby is white, he has good explosive power and is very skilled in dribbling.

Shentong's "Basics of Defense" has been practiced very proficiently, and ordinary surmounts and breakthroughs will definitely be seen through by Shentong.

Dribble under the step, break to the right. No, this is a fake, did Bibby turn around? No! He pulled the ball back again.

Bibby's fake action is really hard to guard against.

However, even such a dazzling feint did not shake Shen Tong's focus.

As if predicted in advance, Shentong was still stuck in front of Bibby.

Such a successful defense even Bibby was a little surprised.

hey-hey.

Shen Tong snickered in his heart.

In the first half of the game, Shentong, who had been wrestling with Christie, was not only trying to break through the opponent's defensive barrier, but also constantly absorbing the opponent's defensive skills.

If you want to find a player who can defend Bibby best on the scene, it must be Christie!

As a defender, in the usual daily training of the team, Christie must have defended Bibby a lot.

And in order to improve his offense, Bibby must have found Christie as a sparring partner.

long time love

No, over time, Christie has actually mastered Bibby's offense pretty well.

Therefore, learning and using Christie's death-coiled defense on the spot is the best way to defend Bibby.

Shen Tong himself did not expect that the defensive effect produced by Xiao Wuxiang Gong could directly see through Bibby's fake breakthrough!

Seeing that 24 seconds was coming up, Bibby had no choice but to make a pull-up shot that he was not good at.

Although the 1.85-meter Bibby has already counted Shentong's block, he obviously underestimated Shentong's bounce.

Not long after the ball flew out of Bibby's hand, it was directly stopped by Shen Tong's long arm in the air!

Although the bounce property has declined, even so, Shentong's blocking is not a problem.

After Jefferson got the ball first, he started a fast break, and Shentong caught up from the other side.

Christie, Peja and Webb returned almost simultaneously.

The Kings retreated fairly quickly.

Christie had stopped in front of Jefferson.

Jefferson, who was entangled, immediately handed the ball to Shentong. Shentong faced Peja on the right and did not choose to go it alone.

He looked at Kidd, who had just come beyond the three-point line, and made a pass.

The Kings players immediately focused all their defensive attention on Kidd.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tong's eyes were on Kidd, but the ball in his hand was passed to the inside of the Kings.

Jefferson, who just passed the ball, "just" appeared at the passing position, and after receiving the ball, he easily made a layup and completed the fast break.

"Beautiful pass!" Jefferson and Kidd praised at the same time.

Shen Tong gave a thumbs up, shook his head, applauded, looked up to the sky and sighed, and then prepared to spit.

Seeing the referee staring at him, Shen Tong realized that the style of painting was wrong.

By the end of the fourth quarter, Shentong had already scored 24 points. These points were achieved by hard work.

Speaking of the last dozen games, Shentong has never been so focused.

However, even though Shentong worked hard physically and mentally, the Nets at home still trailed the Kings by 1 point 91-92.

The ball still belongs to the king.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, the game has entered a fever pitch.

Mike Bibby ran back to receive Divac's support pass, rushed to the inside, and scored.

Peja found an opportunity on the outside and made a decisive three-pointer against Jefferson's block.

As the fans watched, the ball went through the net.

Kings players all raised their hands, including coach Rick Adelman.

91-95

The Nets trailed by 4 points with 45 seconds left.

As long as the Kings can defend the ball, they will be sure to win the game.

The atmosphere on the court was suffocating.

Scott was about to call a timeout, but refrained when he realized the team had only one short timeout left.

Kidd passed the ball to Shentong after dribbling halfway.

At this critical moment, the ball must be handed over to the team's most reliable scorer.

"What will he do with this ball? Break into the paint and make a layup and foul, or break through and pass the ball to Jefferson outside, or..."

Kidd was thinking about how Shentong would handle this crucial ball, but he saw that Shentong was still far away from the three-point line, and even two steps away from Christie who was standing on the three-point line, he made a shot.

This position is too far away, no one would do this at all!

Is he crazy?

Almost everyone thinks so.

Except for one, Jefferson.

He has seen Shentong hit consecutive ultra-long three-pointers at the top of the arc in the middle circle.

Although in the current league, no one would do that.

Even shooting from such a position will be regarded as an outlier, and the coach will immediately replace you if you fail.

People in this era would not have imagined that a few years later, there would be a group of long-range shooters living outside the three-point line in the NBA, and even centers would need to be able to shoot long-range.

The man who invented basketball would probably vomit blood if he knew that this kind of thing would happen on the court.

This seems to be an atavistic performance.

The ball is getting farther and farther away from the basket.

This completely conflicts with the concept of basketball when it was invented.

Shen Tong's ball flew through the air, and the ball kept turning.

Time seems to pass very slowly.

"Shua!"

An incredible thing happened.

Shentong actually hit such a long-range shot!

"Aren't you surprised, are you surprised?! You have to give me some respect!"

After the goal, Shen Tong yelled at Adelman and the Kings' bench.

Want to celebrate a victory early?

There are no doors!

"I knew you could do it!" Jefferson rushed over.

Shen Tong stepped aside quickly, and Jefferson missed it.

"thump."

"Get up, we are still behind, we must defend this goal!"

Shen Tong hurried forward to pull Jefferson up.

Needless to say, Jefferson really did a great job!

Without anyone noticing, he slipped behind Bibby and slapped the ball away with lightning speed!

"Ball here!"

Shen Tong's words are concise and to the point.

Jefferson, who was rushing forward with the ball, heard Shen Tong's voice, and quickly passed the ball.

The Kings retreated collectively.

Adelman yelled from the sidelines: "Stick to the inside, don't let them rush in!"

Just when the players of the Kings had just stabilized, Shen Tong made another shot at almost the same position as before.

He didn't even give Scott a chance to call a timeout.

Everyone's heart was in their throats.

But Shentong raised his hand, his eyes full of determination.

That's right, I am so confident!
