The Fifth Point Guard

Taking the "Sound Wave Sponge" out of his crotch, Shentong found that the shape of the sponge had not changed much, but it was a lot heavier.

Click on the prop and a scale bar will be displayed in the space next to it.

Shen Tong counted.

One seven makes seven, two seventy-four, March 8th Women's Day, May 1st Labor Day.

It turns out to be a 300% scale!

This is more than what Sophie has absorbed.

According to the instructions of the "Sound Wave Sponge", props of the corresponding level will explode according to the absorption scale.

This sound wave sponge belongs to the blue quality level. According to the 300% scale, it needs to be upgraded by two levels.

Above the Blue Fine is the Purple Epic, then the Golden Legend.

Having said that, STO is full of expectations.

Golden legendary level props can lead to a qualitative leap.

Click the "Extract" button, and the sound wave sponge gradually expands.

When it expands to its maximum extent, the surface of the sponge seems to be torn apart, and blue halos continue to shoot out from the cracks on the surface of the sponge.

Just listen to a "bang" sound.

The sound wave sponge exploded.

Then, a shining object with golden light appeared in front of Shentong.

This is a delicate and huge disk. The surface of the disk is divided into twelve scales, and each small scale corresponds to an attribute.

Shentong saw that there were "running", "three-pointers", "breakthrough" and so on.

But only nine of the twelve scales display attributes normally, two scales are sealed, and one scale is empty, with neither attributes nor seal marks.

Props: Zodiac Flame Turntable (Golden Legend Level)

Details: This disc is made entirely of gold and was once a sacred instrument used by the "Greek goddess" Athena.

It was lost after the holy war with "Pluto" Hades, and was later picked up by "Basketball God" Basket and transformed into a prop suitable for basketball players.

Before each game, you can spin the wheel once to randomly point to a scale to obtain the flame attribute.

This attribute will receive a bonus with the upper and lower limits increased by 30 points in the following games.

The only hidden attribute will only be turned on after all nine scales of the Holy Fire attribute have been used.

}

After seeing the details of this prop, Shen Tong realized that the empty scale represented the hidden attribute.

After taking a closer look at the nine displayed attributes, each attribute corresponds to the displayed attributes on its own attribute panel.

Shentong immediately understood that the hidden attribute would unlock his own visible attribute.

After putting the "Twelve Palaces Holy Fire Carousel" into the space, Shentong couldn't help but sigh, the golden legend is amazing, one prop can be used ten times.

The Cavaliers, who have won four consecutive games, have become the only team in the league to remain undefeated since the start of the season.

Shortly after defeating the Suns, STO's Gatorade commercials began to air on television and online.

The Cavaliers are in the spotlight.

The day after the game against the Suns, the team practiced as usual.

Paul Silas will never allow the team to relax.

In the weight room, a group of people were grinning.

When Yao Ming first entered the NBA, Shuntong specifically talked about strength training when he had the opportunity to chat with Yao Ming.

If you want to stay on the NBA court for a long time, you must have sufficient physical fitness and a strong body.

All of this is inseparable from strength training.

Shentong told Yao Ming at the time that he must not gain weight easily. Don't listen to anyone who says it. Stick to your current physical flexibility. As for increasing resistance, you don't have to gain weight very much. Improving core strength is just as effective.

No, after training with the ball, Shentong and James jumped into the weight room at the same time.

Today’s strength training is on the legs.

As we all know, when it comes to strength training, the legs are the part that everyone fears training the most.

too difficult.

Shentong is practicing squats, while James is doing lunges.

Shentong was holding a dumbbell with both hands upward, while James was holding a dumbbell with both hands downward. Both of them were doing movements while showing painful expressions.

The action of Shentong is to hold a dumbbell in each hand and place it slightly higher than the shoulder. The feet are naturally shoulder-width apart. The feet are slightly in a figure eight shape. Keep the chest and abdomen, bend the knees and squat to the lowest position, and then contract the thighs to squat. Restore from start to finish.

James's action is to hold dumbbells in both hands, stand with his feet naturally open, take a step with his right foot to the right, bend his knees, step back and his knees are almost close to the ground, his calves are parallel to the ground, and he squats into a lunge. After one leg completes the step, switch to the other leg. Repeat the previous action, moving your legs alternately.

Although these dumbbells don't seem to be very heavy, and the movements of the two of them seem to be quite slow, if another person were to do it, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to complete one set.

Big beads of sweat slipped from Shentong's cheeks.

Although very tired, Shentong knew that without diamonds, it would be difficult to get a porcelain job. Forging iron requires one's own strength. Although he has the help of Basketball God Space, he still has to work hard to strengthen his physical training.

After today's strength training, Shentong and James sat on the mat on the sidelines to rest.

James took a sip of warm water intermittently and asked Shen Tong: "Shen, look, I was able to play from position one to position five in high school. It can be said that I am familiar with every position, but here, I basically They all played the third position, but as time went by, I started to have some doubts about the small forward position, that is, what exactly does the small forward position do, and what is it that is different from other positions? I have been thinking about these issues recently, and I am a little confused. I don’t even know whether I should take the initiative to practice three-pointers next, or practice breakthroughs or defense."

Shentong thought for a while and replied: "It's normal to have this kind of confusion. You know, when I played in the New Jersey Nets in my first season, I also had some doubts about the shooting guard position. Fortunately, there was a My seniors have given me a lot of help and inspiration. I think if you want to understand the essence of the small forward position, the easiest thing is to ask for leave like those seniors, such as Larry Bird, Scottie Pippen and others."

James took a few more sips, nodded slightly, and said, "You are right, I will ask them for advice when I have the opportunity."

Turning his head, James asked Shentong: "So, tell me about your understanding of this position?"

Shentong smiled and said: "If I talk about my understanding of small forwards, it should be that they have various scoring methods, have a stable shooting rate, and can undertake the task of attacking the city at critical moments."

James listened and said quickly: "When it comes to scoring methods, I know a little bit about everything."

Shentong continued: "The second is defense. Is defense important for a small forward? Important, but not necessary."

"how do I say this?"

"The defensive tasks of small forwards are different from those of shooting guards and power forwards. Small forwards do not need to defend all the time, but they must have a good defensive awareness and defensive overall view. Shooting guards stick to their opponents, while small forwards wait for opportunities. To steal, the power forward has to get stuck under the basket, while the small forward uses the gaps to rush for rebounds."

"It makes sense." James fell into thinking.

"If you think about it, it is precisely because there is no need for full-time defense that Bruce Bowen and Shane Battier, who are known as defensive experts, although they defend well, they can't always get data. You have to know that Bruce and Shaw Enko has never won a steal title.”

"Well, I basically have the defensive elements you mentioned."

"In addition, assists. The small forward's assists do not require specialization, but more emphasis on awareness."

"Oh, awareness too, that's what I'm good at."

Shentong continued: "A well-rounded small forward will definitely have a lot of assists, and may even assist more than the team's point guard in some games, but can it be said that the small forward's organizational ability is better than that of the point guard? Absolutely not. The point guard is the starting point of the offense and is responsible for the organization and scheduling of the team's offense. The comprehensive ability of assists must be the strongest in the team, but sometimes, the assist ability cannot be directly converted into assist data, because for For a point guard, it is very difficult to complete an assist in one pass. Many of them are indirect assists, while the small forward's assists are mainly focused on breaking through and passing the ball. The player found after the ball is often in an open position and will take a direct shot. Shooting, so when teammates are strong, it will be easier for a small forward to generate assist data than a point guard."

James quickly said: "I'm not just brushing up on statistics. My breakthrough points are very threatening."

"Of course, I'm just explaining some of my views on the position of small forward. Overall, if you want to perfectly assume the role of small forward, the most important thing is to have a very good awareness and overall view, and then cooperate with scoring. , assists, defense, he is definitely a top small forward."

James counted them on his fingers and replied, "I'm basically satisfied."

Shentong smiled and patted James on the back and said: "So, you already have the qualifications and potential of a top small forward. If you practice hard, you will definitely become the best small forward in the league. After all, you are the chosen one. .”

"Yeah!" James nodded heavily.

Seeing James, Shentong thought of himself back then.

The young man who was under the guidance of "Chinese Jordan" Hu Weidong.

Now, only the location has changed.

The role of mentor was changed to myself, and the young man who learned from it was replaced by James.

James, who has gained experience from STO, has become more determined in the direction of future development.

Before the game against the Houston Rockets, the media had already begun to build momentum, and related news was overwhelming.

Chinese Derby, the Gentlemen combination versus the Yao-Mai combination.

A direct confrontation between the two top scorers STO and Tracy McGrady.

This season, the Houston Rockets, which completed a big deal, have undergone a major transformation.

Francis, Mobley, and Cato, who are familiar to fans, left for Orlando, while the Rockets welcomed the former league's scoring champion Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming to compete in the new season together.

After signing Tracy McGrady, the Houston Rockets have their sights set on a championship.

After all, after the disintegration of the "OK" group, the "MM" group became the object of most attention.

Experts generally predict that the combination of Yao Ming + Tracy McGrady will form a very powerful force in the Western Conference like O'Neal + Kobe.

As a result, the Rockets recruited troops from all over the world, making no secret of their ambitions.

They first found a reliable substitute for Yao Ming, the former best defensive player and shot-blocking leader, Dikembe Mutombo, whose actual age is no longer known.

They also signed powerful outside players such as David Wesley and Bob Sura.

At the same time, the bench has also signed many veterans who are ready to fight, such as Joan Barry, Charlie Ward, Rod Strickland and other players.

Plus "Uncle Huo" Juwan Howard and Maurice Taylor at the power forward position.

The Rockets this season are very strong, very much like the Mavericks during the arms race season.

But the Mavericks at that time did not have a super scorer like McGrady.

The starting lineups for this game are:

Cavaliers: Center: Varejao, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner.

Rockets: Center: Yao Ming, Power Forward: Howard, Small Forward: Tracy McGrady, Shooting Guard: Wesley, Point Guard: Sura.

Another piece of news broke about the Rockets this season.

It was rumored that after Tracy McGrady was transferred to the Rockets, Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy asked Yao Ming to gain weight and develop into a giant in the basket. However, Yao Ming, who has always been restrained, firmly rejected Van Gundy's request. Yao Ming said that he would Strengthen your training, but don’t go out of your way to gain weight.

As STO suggested, Yao Ming said when facing the media: "I don't have any disrespect to Jeff Van Gundy, but I am such a big man and I am not suitable for excessive weight. It is a problem for my knees. It’s a huge challenge. It’s possible that because of the weight gain, I’ll be disabled before the competition.”

Yao Ming said that he understood Van Gundy's efforts, but he was not a player like O'Neal.

"I am not Shaquille O'Neal, and Tracy is not Kobe. We are Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. I believe we have our own characteristics."

Although Jeff Van Gundy criticized Yao Ming's decisive refusal, there was no way to force Yao Ming to gain weight. After all, weight gain is not something he does subjectively and deliberately, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere.

Before the game started, Shentong entered the Basketball God Space and took out the "Zodiac Flame Roulette".

With a pious heart, Shentong turned the pointer on the turntable.

Under Shentong's gaze, the pointer rotated several times on the disk before finally slowly stopping.

STO took a look and saw that the attribute pointed by the pointer was a three-pointer!

This is STO’s signature!

Looking at the attribute panel, the attribute value of the three-pointer has changed, reaching as high as 110-125!

The attribute value of over 100 was seen again.

The last time the number exceeded 100, it was because of Derrick Rose.

But this time it was even more exaggerated. The upper and lower limits both exceeded 100, and exceeded it by a lot. This has completely reached the level of super S-class.

At this moment, Shentong had some expectations.

With such a high three-point shooting attribute, how will it perform when making long-range shots on the court?
