The Fifth Point Guard

It was still a bulldozer-style breakthrough. Iguodala opened his hands, but could not stop it.

James came to the basket and threw the ball toward the basket.

A giant palm fell from the sky!

It's Dalembert.

The big man from Haiti greeted the Chosen One with a shot.

This guy was famous for blocking shots as early as when he was in college.

In his freshman season, he averaged 3.6 high shots per game, ranking seventh in the country.

The ball was knocked to the ground.

The elusive Iverson flashed next to the basketball, picked up the ball and turned around to rush forward.

Korver on the left, Iguodala on the right.

The 76ers' third-line fast break.

Shentong and Wagner defended two against three.

Korver stood at the three-point line and did not move in. Shentong immediately directed Wagner to step forward and guard, while he retreated to the basket.

Entering the three-point line, Iverson handed the ball to Iguodala.

After receiving the ball, Iguodala held the ball and flew to the basket, ignoring the defending Shentong.

He jumped up from the basket, raised his hands in the air, and covered Iguodala.

Iguodala obviously didn't guess that Shentong could jump so high and took a hasty shot.

The ball bounced off the backboard and fell out of the front of the basket.

Shentong watched the ball slip from the basket. Taking advantage of his position, he was about to take off twice to collect the rebound in his arms. However, he did not expect anyone to take a step ahead of him. He grabbed the basketball that had just slipped with one hand and dunked it directly. Get into the basket!

Shentong raised his head and saw Iverson hanging on the basket with one arm, like a skinny monkey stretching his long arms.

This extra buckle of pulling onions on dry land reminded Shentong that the little man in front of him, whose actual height was less than 1.80 meters, once had the title of "Indomitable God of Fighting"!

An opponent who never gives up must never be underestimated!

At this moment, Shentong remembered what Kobe Bryant once said about Iverson in the last time and space.

Young people today have no idea how good Iverson is.

Iguodala's athletic ability seems a bit at a loss in the face of James' strength.

But James's inside-oriented style of play prevented him from doing whatever he wanted under the basket guarded by Dalembert.

Iverson began to tease Wagner with his feet.

Without contrast, there is no harm.

In most games, Wagner is often the one teasing the opponent. Unexpectedly, in today's game, Wagner became the one being teased.

Iverson's butterfly step made Wagner's defense helpless. When chasing Iverson's speed, he did not dare to use all his strength, fearing that the opponent would make a fake move, but if he did not chase hard, he would not be able to keep up with Iverson's pace.

Using crossover to create space, Iverson broke into the penalty area along the baseline, completely pushed Wagner behind him with a jump step, and then threw the ball against the 2.23-meter-tall Big Z.

Like a high-throwing grenade, it was thrown into the basket accurately.

Swinging through Wagner's steps was like dancing.

Seeing Iverson using his signature moves, Shentong was eager to try.

Facing Korver, Shentong, whose dribbling attribute exceeded 100 in this game, also performed the butterfly step.

For a time, the arena in Philadelphia was filled with excitement.

A cacophony of exclamations echoed Korver's surprised face.

Today's STO dribbles extremely smoothly.

With Korver on the spot, Shentong looked up at the basket, ready to give Dalembert a look.

But just when Shentong was about to take the ball back for a layup, his right hand suddenly became empty.

Iverson appeared ghostly at some point, reached out his palm accurately, and stole his ball!

This was intercepted when the dribbling attribute obtained the "Holy Fire" effect.

Shentong was not willing to be intercepted like this and quickly chased back.

After all, Shentong had the advantage of height and long strides, and soon caught up with Iverson inside the three-point line.

The guy glanced back and saw that no one was following him, so he immediately planned to go it alone.

As a result, everyone saw a familiar scene.

The young boy was dazed from the front.

Iverson held the ball in his left hand, swayed his shoulder to the left, and made a fake move to break through to the left, but his center of gravity immediately shifted to the right.

Shentong hugged him with his left hand, and everything was empty.

Iverson, who was half out of his body, immediately took off and threw the ball.

Although Shentong worked hard to block the shot, it still missed by a few centimeters. He watched the basketball escape from Iverson's hands.

"Uh-huh."

The ball goes in.

This goal put some pressure on Shentong.

First he stole it from his own hand, then he successfully shook it in front of himself and made a shot.

This was a naked blow on both ends of the floor.

STO has not been so beaten by an opponent for a long time.

Even if it's just for one round.

The Cavaliers attacked, and there was a mismatch after covering each other on the outside.

Shentong had a hard time with Iverson.

This time, Shentong also wanted to use the butterfly step to break through Iverson, but he did not expect that he could not get past Iverson no matter what, and almost dropped the ball in the middle.

Unable to escape, Shentong had no choice but to take action.

Iverson's staying in the air is quite good. Although it cannot block Shentong's shooting, it interferes with Shentong's shooting to a certain extent.

"when."

There was that wonderful Los Angeles thumping sound between the basketball and the rim.

Shentong looked at his hands. He obviously felt good when dribbling, and of course his steps were in place. Logically speaking, he should be able to pass Iverson. Why did he suffer setbacks just now and was almost intercepted by his opponent?

The Cavaliers trailed the 76ers at home by 7 points 20-27 in the first quarter when STO played with doubts.

From the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson became more and more courageous.

Steals, breakthroughs and even three-pointers were performed one by one, and scoring was almost easy.

At halftime, the 76ers led the Cavaliers by as many as 15 points.

During the halftime break, Shentong figured out the answer to the question in the first half.

The flower-crossing butterfly step is certainly powerful, but the opponent he faces is the master of this authentic step, so it is normal for his efficiency to be greatly reduced.

This also explains why STO's passing Korver in this game was like crossing the road in the early morning, but passing Iverson was very difficult.

Aside from his feet, Iverson was short and had a low center of gravity.

Shentong is a full 20 centimeters taller than Iverson and has no advantage in breakthroughs.

After figuring it out, STO began to show its strength in the second half.

After the dislocation was formed, Shentong, who had his back to Iverson, began to use back-up techniques, gradually approaching the basket, and then suppressed Iverson with height.

Iverson's bounce is good, but when Shentong shot from the basket, he didn't give Iverson enough time to take off.

When unable to get close to the basket, Shentong turned around and leaned back to beat Iverson alone.

Even, Shentong, who showed great touch and confidence, hit the 76ers with a pull-up three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

In this way, in the third quarter, the Cavaliers evened out the 15-point difference between the two sides and entered the final quarter with a score of 74-74.

As the saying goes, when the road is narrow, the brave will win.

Playing at home, Iverson was like an unyielding god eager to win. The entire game seemed to be played as if it was the last game of his life.

Shentong did not flinch. He took advantage of the substantial improvement in dribbling attributes, combined with shooting and sudden shooting, and frequently contributed points to the Cavaliers with breakthroughs and outside long shots. He was quite like an undefeated God of War.

With less than 1 minute left in the game, the score between the two sides was still very close.

94-96, the Cavaliers are 2 points behind.

James' breakthrough layup was destroyed and the Cavaliers served.

The live footage showed Shentong and Iverson who had already formed a matchup.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, STO took the initiative to defend Iverson, and Paul Silas agreed, so STO was defending Iverson at the moment.

Look at the murderous eyes of these two people.

One is like a lion waiting for an opportunity to move, and the other is like a tiger watching the surrounding areas.

Gooden served from the sideline. After receiving the first ball, James first broke into the penalty area, then looked back at the moon and passed the ball to Shentong outside.

After receiving the ball, Shentong shot a three-pointer directly. Korver's block was already in place, almost sticking to Shentong's face, but the ball still went out.

The fiery dribbling touch indirectly improved Shentong's shooting percentage.

This seemingly very difficult shot actually hit!

97-96.

The Cavaliers lead the 76ers by 1 point!

Shentong raised his hands and slapped his chest.

After competing with Iverson all night, Shentong was speechless at the moment when he saw the hope of winning. He could only express his inner excitement and excitement with a high-pitched roar.

The 76ers called a timeout.

James and Wagner rushed to Shentong's side immediately.

James went over and pushed Shentong and shouted: "Brother, you did it again, I knew you could do it! This is definitely a wonderful assist."

Wagner jumped up and hit Shentong.

This guy originally wanted to have a passionate chest-to-chest relationship with Shentong, but he didn't expect that Shentong, who was too excited at the moment, would also jump up.

Then Wagner hit Shentong's crotch.

At that time, Wagner felt something was wrong.

A hard iron rod almost crooked his front teeth.

After a passionate collision with Shentong, Wagner covered his mouth and walked back to the bench arm in arm with Shentong.

You must hold back at this moment and never let others see your embarrassment.

I will endure!

Cavaliers bench.

Paul Silas is arranging the next defensive tactics.

Shentong looked up at the time. There were 8.2 seconds left, which was enough time for the 76ers to execute the final attack.

The defensive tactics Silas deployed almost all used Iverson as the imaginary player to execute the final attack.

But this is normal. Any head coach will hand the ball to Iverson when setting up the final attack.

The timeout ends and players from both sides reappear.

The last 8.2 seconds.

The Cavaliers only led by 1 point.

You either win or lose, and the outcome lies in the last attack.

STO defends Iverson alone.

James and Wagner are eyeing it.

Iguodala serves from the sideline.

The referee whistle sounded.

Shentong was surprised to find that Iverson was standing still.

Instead, Korver, whom Wagner was marking, became the target of the 76ers' cover.

Are they planning to let Korver execute the final attack?

Dalembert pulled out to block Wagner.

Wagner shouted: "Stop him quickly and make up for it!"

Logically speaking, Korver's long-range shooting ability exceeds that of Iverson.

Maybe the 76ers knew the Cavaliers would keep an eye on Iverson, so they did the opposite?

James immediately ran to cover the defense.

Iguodala passed the ball, and sure enough it was passed to Korver.

Shentong subconsciously took a step forward, but his sixth sense immediately noticed something was wrong.

Looking back, Iverson indeed ran to the other side, and Shentong hurriedly chased after him.

Attracting the defensive attention of four Cavaliers players except Shentong, Korver ran toward the open space on the baseline after receiving the ball, creating the illusion that he was about to shoot.

After pulling the Cavaliers' defensive circle to his side, Korver jumped up and passed the ball to the other side.

Iverson is already waiting here!

At this time, the Cavaliers' players on the field just woke up from a dream.

Almost at the same time that Iverson caught the ball, Shentong also rushed over.

Take off and take action.

Shentong's blocking was still a step too slow.

Before Shentong's palm blocked the shooting route, Iverson had already thrown the ball, not from the highest point.

Shentong, who was in the air, watched helplessly as the ball flew away from his head.

Everyone held their breath at this moment.

"Boom. Boom."

The ball hit the inside of the basket and circled several times along the inner arc of the basket.

Just like that, Shentong's heart seemed to be spinning.

"drop--"

As the final whistle sounded, the ball slowly stopped spinning and fell into the basket.

The Wachovia Center immediately became a sea of ​​joy!

Philadelphia fans were ecstatic and dancing to celebrate the victory.

After completing the game-winner, Iverson ran directly to the technical stage in excitement, waving his arms vigorously and cheering loudly.

Under the technical stage, there were swarms of 76ers players.

Dalembert directly carried Iverson on his shoulders.

The little man sat on the shoulders of giants and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.

Shentong left silently and was the first to walk into the player tunnel.

There were many fans at the entrance who wanted autographs and high-fives, but Shentong was in no mood to care.

James and Wagner followed into the tunnel.

Big Z was the last player to walk into the fellow players. Paul Silas was beside him, seeming to comfort Big Z.

This was the Cleveland Cavaliers' first loss of the season.

After winning six consecutive games, the Cavaliers finally suffered a defeat on the road.

The Philadelphia 76ers also relied on Iverson's buzzer-beater to narrowly defeat the Cavaliers by 1 point at home, handing their opponents their first defeat and ascending to the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Both have 6 wins and 1 loss, but the 76ers use the advantage of winning against each other.

Being kicked off the top spot in the Eastern Conference and suffering their first defeat of the season, all members of the Cavaliers must be in a bad mood.

Although he lost, Paul Silas was particularly gentle today.

All members were even allowed to move around freely after today's game.

"Boys, the season is still long. No team in history has been able to maintain a complete victory throughout the season. We just lost one game. This is not the end of the world. You go out and relax tonight. Remember 12 Go back to your room and rest before midnight.”

Silas' mercy restored some energy to the Cavaliers' locker room.

"Shen, let's go out tonight and relax." Wagner said to Shentong.

"No, I have other things to do tonight."

An hour after the game, Shentong got into the hotel gym.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The sound of equipment echoed in the empty gym.

Shentong wiped the sweat from his face.

"Click."

The gym door was pushed open.

James walked in wearing a training uniform.

When he saw Shentong, James raised his eyebrows first, and then immediately regained his composure.

"You're here too."

James lay on the equipment next to Shentong and began to practice pressing.

Shentong smiled slightly and replied: "That's right."

If you lose, just practice, practice will be effective, it is better than going to a nightclub to have fun.

Next game, come soon!
