The Fifth Point Guard

On December 9, 2004, the Spurs lost to the Rockets 80-81.

This game is a blow-suck game. His record of scoring 13 points in the last 35 seconds can be said to be unprecedented.

In the last 35 seconds, the Spurs had led the Rockets by 8 points. In everyone's eyes, it was impossible for the Rockets to come back.

But, something magical happened!

McGrady did not give up. After hitting a three-pointer in 35 seconds, he scored a three-plus-one in 24.3 seconds, a third three-pointer in 11.2 seconds, and a three-pointer in the last 1.7 seconds.

The Rockets miraculously defeated the Spurs 81-80.

If God was wearing the Cavaliers' No. 25 jersey in STO's three-point Hurricanes game, then in this game, God was wearing Tracy McGrady's Rockets No. 1 jersey.

Barkley no longer has the Cavaliers game broadcast live in his eyes.

He gushed over the Rockets' victory over the Spurs.

"At 35 seconds and 13 minutes, people must give him a title. How about calling it 'T-Mac Moment'?"

"'Maddie Moment'? That's a good title." Smith rarely affirmed Barkley's proposal.

"This game is destined to be recorded in history. It is absolutely an incredible reversal. I believe that if God was watching the game from the sidelines, then even he would have been moved by McGrady's magical performance at the last moment."

"A man who moved God, I believe Adidas must have new inspiration."

After the game, McGrady was full of joy.

Faced with reporters' questions in turn, McGrady briefly expressed his personal feelings and then responded to the reporters' questions.

"Today's miracle, I especially want to thank one person!"

"Who is it? Who is it?"

"Sentong of the Cavaliers!"

Reporter A: "Is it STO?"

Reporter B: "How could it be him?"

Reporter C: "What does he have to do with this game?"

"When he defeated us in the last game, he encouraged us and told me that even if the game reached the last minute, we could not give up easily. So even if everyone thought we lost, the fans at the scene also We gave up when we left the field, but we would never give up, so we turned around!”

The next day, the front pages of major sports websites and newspapers published McGrady's feat of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and mentioned McGrady's gratitude to STO in the news.

Some experts pointed out that STO's influence has gradually begun to spread among the league's players, not just fan groups.

Fans have commented on this.

"Look at Shin's appeal during the offseason. He brought more than a dozen All-Star players together for training. This is incredible. You know, many of them are not even willing to play for the USA Basketball team."

"I thought they were training in Shentong's villa because the Chinese food he cooked was delicious."

"I think the term 'four shooting guards' in the league should be changed. It's normal to call them 'five shooting guards.'"

"Although Shen's current performance is not as complete as Michael's, I think Shen definitely has the potential to surpass the 'four major shooting guards' in the future."

"After defeating Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and Carter in a row, the only 'four major shooting guards' left is Allen Iverson. I wonder if his 76ers can snipe the Cavaliers, who have won six consecutive games in the next game."

Time returns to the live broadcast room after the Cavaliers defeated the Nets.

Barkley took a closer look at the live broadcast of the next round of NBA games.

Smith asked, "Charles, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for which one will be narrated in the next live broadcast."

"What, are you worried about missing some famous scene?"

Buckley didn't answer and thought for a long time.

"Just this one, the Indiana Pacers versus the Detroit Pistons. This game between the Eastern Conference duo should be more interesting to watch."

Barkley made his decision.

The Philadelphia 76ers had a good start to the season, with 5 wins and 1 loss in 6 games. The only opponent they lost was the Seattle SuperSonics, who have been on a hot offensive streak this season.

The relationship between 76ers coach O'Brien and Iverson is pretty good. Although it is not as good as the "mentor-disciple" relationship between Brown and Iverson, at least he is someone Iverson can trust.

O'Brien had been a coach in Boston before coming to the 76ers.

After replacing Rick Pitino as the team's head coach as an assistant coach in 2001, he led the Celtics to a total of 139 wins and 119 records. However, he was angry because of differences with team president Danny Ainge. Resign.

The 76ers immediately reached out.

O'Brien also became the 20th head coach in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.

The 76ers' roster this season has actually declined compared to last season.

Eric Snow defected to the Cavaliers, leaving the 76ers without an important link at the point guard position.

Coupled with the fact that he almost failed to recruit any strong players during the summer transfer, Iverson almost became a lone hero.

Except for McGee, the former best sixth man who is difficult to work with and is still in good condition, there is no other player on the team who can take on the important task.

Iverson, who has been fighting in the muscle jungle for 6 years, is already covered with old injuries. Just relying on his tenacious will and desire to win, many experts questioned how far the 76ers could go before the start of the new season.

What everyone didn't expect was that the 76ers actually had the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, second only to the undefeated Cavaliers.

Allen Iverson even averaged 33.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6 assists per game. He gave almost everything he had, showing the momentum of the scoring champion and the state when he won the regular season MVP.

The ill-fated 76ers have won one NBA championship in history.

That was in the distant 1967. Under the leadership of Zhang Erwan, the Philadelphia 76ers achieved a record of 68 wins and 13 losses in the regular season and entered the playoffs, easily winning the championship.

Chamberlain's 7 scoring titles, 11 rebounding titles, and single-game scoring record of 100 points in his basketball career were all accomplished with the 76ers.

Therefore, the 76ers are not without foundation and historical accumulation. It is just a pity that the 76ers are like a giant ship sleeping on the bottom of the sea. No one has enough power to pull it out of the bottom of the sea and set sail again.

However, the little Iverson almost did it. He led the 76ers to the Finals, but in the end he failed.

In the new season, after experiencing rare hard training, Iverson vowed to fight again.

After defeating the Nets, Shentong saw McGrady's performance of 35 seconds and 13 points on TV.

Although he knew that this moment would definitely come, when it actually arrived, Shentong would still be uncontrollably excited.

Moments like this are really rare.

At least so far, there has not been a "STO moment."

He sent Maddie a text message.

"Miracle, blow and suck, if you do it, I know you can do it. Let's move forward with Dayao, I'm optimistic about you!"

After a while, STO received a text message reply.

"Thank you, Shin, for those words."

After defeating STO's old team, the Nets, the Cavaliers continued their road trip non-stop.

Next stop, Philadelphia.

Shentong probably didn't expect that in the new season's schedule, with less than 7 games started, he would compete with the "four major shooting guards" one by one. This is like a test of his summer training.

However, judging from the current performance, STO is very satisfied with its performance.

As long as we can kill the 76ers, we will have a good start against the "four major shooting guards" at the start of this season!

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

The scale pointed by the pointer indicates the attribute: dribbling.

The holy fire shines on Shentong's "dribbling" attribute.

Attribute value increased from 68-76 to 98-106.

According to Shentong's understanding, such a high attribute value can be used to perform juggling.

Even the moment you touch the ball, there is a silky smooth feel.

It feels like the ball is in his hands, as if it is no longer a ball, but a living being with a soul.

Although no one was optimistic about the 76ers before the start of the season, with the team's excellent record, Philadelphia's football market began to become popular again.

In the 2001 Finals, Iverson once praised Philadelphia's home court.

Although Iverson showed the status of the scoring champion, it is too difficult to support an NBA team with just a small man.

In fact, there are many surprising players emerging on the team.

The first is last year's rookie, Kyle Korver.

This white player, who is known for his shooting skills, served as a substitute during last year's rookie season and averaged only 4.5 points per game, but he shot an impressive 39.1% from three-point range.

This season, with Snow's departure, Iverson returned to the point guard position, and Korver was mentioned by the coach as the starting shooting guard.

In the first 6 games, Korver started all the games and contributed 11.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, which made up for the vacancy left by Snow. More importantly, Korver Wall is a running player without the ball. He can shoot after catching the ball. He does not occupy players and is a natural fit for Iverson.

Korver, who got the starting job and stable playing time, further improved his three-point shooting rate, reaching 42%, which is very efficient.

The second surprising player is this year's No. 9 pick Andre Iguodala.

This 1.98-meter-tall small forward is extremely athletic and often performs explosive dunks.

As soon as he entered the NBA arena, he was entrusted with important tasks.

After becoming the 76ers' starting small forward in the new season, Iguodala averaged 9.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

These two positions, which were originally considered to be holes in the team, have become the highlights of the 76ers' new season.

For this game, the 76ers’ starting lineup is: Center: Samuel Dalembert, Power Forward: Brian Skinner, Small Forward: Andre Iguodala, Shooting Guard : Kyle Korver, point guard: Allen Iverson.

The Cavaliers' lineup remains unchanged from the last game against the Nets: center: Ilgauskas, power forward: Gooden, small forward: James, shooting guard: Shentong, point guard: Wagner.

Before the game was about to start, Iverson took the initiative to hug Shentong and greet him.

Iverson said: "Shen, the dehydrated vegetables you made are really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious vegetable dishes since I left your house. If you continue to hold training camps next offseason, remember Be sure to inform me and don’t let me come to your door again.”

Shen Tong smiled and said: "Don't worry, Allen."

In fact, the dehydrated vegetables in Iverson's mouth were just a secondary process after Shentong took out the vegetable packets from the instant noodles, soaked them again.

Of course, it is impossible for Shentong to tell Iverson the truth.

James saw that in almost every game, the opponent's top star would take the initiative to hug and greet Shentong, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

This is the status of the world.

It feels uncomfortable to feel that the chosen one is ignored.

Game start.

The 76ers won the ball and Iverson dribbled forward.

Switching from shooting guard to point guard, Iverson's role has changed, but he still focuses most of his energy on offense.

Most of the assists are completed in sudden points.

Before the game started, Wagner vowed to compete head-on with Iverson to see who was the real speed king.

On the first goal, Iverson didn't use any fake moves. He wanted to use his speed to beat Wagner directly, but he did not get rid of Wagner's defense during the breakthrough. He finally chose to pass the ball and Korver hit a mid-range jumper.

Wagner directly told Shentong and James that Iverson was not as fast as expected and that he could keep up with his opponents.

On the second ball, Iverson suddenly changed direction during the breakthrough, caught Wagner off guard, and succeeded in a sudden stop jumper.

Wagner admitted that he had underestimated the enemy and was careless.

On the third goal, Iverson made an emergency stop during a breakthrough and then started again. Using the repetition of the rhythm, Wagner lost his defensive position and scored 2+1 when he went for a layup.

Wagner, who was completely knocked out of his defensive position by Iverson, was speechless.

Shentong did not mock Wagner's defense like he usually did, because he knew that Wagner at this time actually needed encouragement.

He patted Wagner on the back and said, "He's Allen Iverson, it's not your problem."

Wagner nodded silently.

There was a time when Wagner looked down upon Iverson.

Before the draft, he was hailed as a taller version of Allen Iverson.

But it wasn't until the actual matchup that Wagner knew what the real "Iverson" was.

Just as Iverson was frequently tearing apart Wagner's confidence on the offensive end, Shentong was also constantly attacking Korver who was opposite him.

Shentong hit a three-pointer under Korver's full defense.

"Come on, you almost guarded me."

Korver missed the shot under Shentong's block.

"Kyle, good job, keep it up, you can do it!"

This kind of real damage on the offensive end and verbal damage on the defensive end keeps Korver's mentality on the verge of collapse.

When the leading players of both teams cannot meet any decent resistance, the performance of the second leading player is extremely important.

James and Iguodala.

James lowered himself to hold the ball with both hands and encountered Iguodala's death entanglement.

After making several breakthrough fake moves, James began to attack.
