The Fifth Point Guard

Before the game, Shentong encountered a new task.

A long-term mission that I haven’t seen in a long time.

{

Long-term mission: capture the title

Mission description: Defeat the opponent, seize the opponent's title, and increase your own abilities. Winning the title of Larry Bird's "King of Pressure" greatly improved his ability to talk; winning the title of Kobe Bryant's "Black Mamba" greatly improving his ability to hit the ball; winning the title of Arenas' "General" "With the title, the probability of famous scenes is greatly increased, and all attributes are increased by 1 point.

Task requirements: Defeat the opponent's team and perform better than the opponent's team

Mission reward: You can seize the opponent's title. Those without titles will not be rewarded.

Mission duration: this season

Mission Item: Dark Ball

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

Shen Tong couldn't help but blink after seeing this mission.

This task is awesome!

Capture the title.

Shentong couldn't help but think of his time in World of Warcraft.

The "high-ranking warlord" in the 1960s, the "Beetle King" who was the only black Ahn'Qiraj mount, the "Salted Fish" with his ass skills, and the explosive "Erutologist".

These titles not only brought him many generous reward items, but also won the envious eyes of other players.

How could you let such an interesting long-term task go?

After clicking "Receive", the prop "Dark Ball" was collected by STO.

{

Props: Dark Ball

Details: An evil artifact from Diablo that can capture the opponent's energy when the power prevails.

Later, he was transformed by Baskett, the basketball god, and the evil parts were eliminated.

When you defeat the opponent on the court, you can seize the opponent's title and improve your own abilities. The opponent's title will still be retained and your abilities will not be damaged.

}

To put it simply, this energy ball has been transformed.

From taking things by force at the expense of others without benefiting oneself, it became called "seizing", which is actually equivalent to copying the energy of a title to improve one's own abilities. This is called sharing.

STO put the dark ball into the Basketball God Space.

Then, he took out the "Zodiac Sacred Fire Wheel".

This time, facing his former teammates, what kind of Holy Fire attributes will he get?

As the wheel rotates, a golden halo emerges from the blue light.

The pointer keeps swinging back and forth between the scales as the turntable swings.

Finally, everything gradually stopped.

The scale pointed to this time corresponds to the attribute of the Holy Fire, which is a breakthrough!

Tonight's game will be held at the MCI Center, home of the Wizards.

Although the Wizards have never been very good, this arena is the third largest in the entire league, able to accommodate more than 20,000 spectators.

Because it is located in the capital, the design of this arena shows everyone's style.

There are 114 luxury suites in the stadium, which not only leads the league in number, but the luxury suites here are truly extremely luxurious.

Before the game started, Shentong was warming up in his own half, and suddenly a basketball was passed over.

Shentong was keenly aware of it and immediately caught the ball.

"Hey Shin, finally waiting for you."

"It's a good thing you didn't give up."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Nothing, a subconscious answer"

Arenas did not pursue the matter, walked over and hugged Shentong, and said: "Richard Jefferson called me before this game and asked me to give you some color. He said that the New Jersey Nets have recently The state is not very good, otherwise you and the knight will not get through so easily."

Shentong waved his hand and said, "Listen to his nonsense, can you believe what he says?"

"Of course I don't believe it, not even the punctuation marks. They are no longer good. The future belongs to both of us."

"Huh? The two of us? Just you?"

Arenas shook his head and said with a arrogant expression: "Shen, this is only my second season here. Look, one day I will lead the Wizards to the finals, and I will be the best player in this league." The best player."

"Pfft" Shen Tong smiled first, then raised his thumb and praised, "The ambition is high and the courage is commendable."

Seeing Shentong's condescending look, Arenas immediately found Shentong's "pain point."

After all, they are former teammates and buddies.

"Shen, you and Avril have broken up, right?"

"." Shentong was silent for 2 seconds and replied, "Fuck you."

"So you are single now. I will call you Dog Brother from now on."

To be honest, Shentong felt a little angry at this moment.

It’s okay to call him Dog Brother, but what’s the point of calling him Dog Brother?

You still have a dog leash!

Shentong turned his head, hit the ball passed by Arenas just now, and said: "See you in the game."

"okay!"

Arenas turned around, looking majestic and high-spirited, and he really had the momentum and character of a general.

Looking from behind, if you get him another cloak, he will just go to Changbanpo to drive back a million-strong army.

Before the game started, the on-site DJ announced the starting lineups of both sides.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup has not changed much. Big Z is still at the center, Gooden is at the power forward, James and Shentong are on the wings, and Wagner is the point guard.

The Wizards' lineup has changed a lot from last season.

What is surprising is that Etan Thomas, who has always occupied the starting center position, was placed on the bench today by head coach Eddie Jordan.

The starting center is Brandon Haywood, who has been coming off the bench before but has performed very solidly.

The 2.13-meter-tall center is much taller than the 2.06-meter Thomas.

Perhaps because of Big Z's height, Jordan let Haywood start.

This player has played quite well this season. Although he comes off the bench, he averages 9.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, which is quite impressive.

As a blue-collar player, he is quite efficient, and he does not need to occupy the ball at all, so he matches well with the Wizards' Three Musketeers.

The power forward is Kwame Brown, the No. 1 pick from high school selected by Michael Jordan in 2001.

Last season, Brown somewhat realized his potential after partnering with Arenas.

Averaged 11 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, rekindling hopes for Wizards fans in him.

Equivalent to STO's previous time and space, Kwame Brown has indeed improved a lot.

The starting candidate at small forward is naturally Antawn Jamison, last season's best sixth man introduced by the Wizards from the Mavericks.

Jamison can play both forward positions, but his height of 2.03 meters is a bit awkward. Playing as a small forward may be more suitable for Jamison who plays on the outside.

In fact, Jamison once publicly stated to the media that he did not like fighting in the paint.

Eddie Jordan also took advantage of the situation and asked Jamison to play the third position.

Jamison performed very well this season and quickly integrated into the team and became one of the team's three musketeers.

The starting shooting guard position belongs to Larry Hughes, who has played with the Wizards for three years.

Hughes has performed very well this season, especially in terms of steals.

Since the start of the season, Hughes ranks first in the league's steals list with an average of 3.5 steals per game.

The Wizards' fast-break counterattacks often start with Hughes' defense.

This season Hughes played the masterpiece of his career.

The average of 22+6+5 per game is enough to match the league's first-line second position, and his defense has also improved to a higher level.

He has become Arenas' best partner in the backcourt.

As for the starting point guard, of course it belongs to the immediate "general" Gilbert Arenas.

Arenas seems to have "jumped" this season. He is majestic on the court and almost unstoppable on the offensive end. The word "show" can be used to describe his performance so far this season.

Even Hughes, who played a career masterpiece, was completely unable to cover up Arenas's light.

More importantly, at the beginning of this season, Arenas, who started to get big contracts, gave each of his teammates a gold chain.

Although it is smaller than the one given to Shentong and Jefferson, it is still a generous gift.

He has short hands, so Arenas has a high prestige in the team.

After arranging the lineup of Haywood, Brown, Jamison, Hughes, and Arenas, the Wizards also have Jarvis Hayes, Etan Thomas, Juan Dixon, Steve Blake et al.

The troops are strong and the horses are strong, and there are many people available.

I'm afraid Eddie Jordan himself didn't expect that the Wizards' lineup would be so deep this season.

Hughes is a veritable trash talker.

Especially when he performs well, he talks all kinds of trash.

Before the game even started, he started talking to Shentong.

Big Z and Haywood stood in the center circle ready to jump the ball, and all players occupied their positions.

Hughes, who was facing Shentong, leaned down and stood side by side with Shentong, mumbling: "Shen, Gilbert asked me to greet you well in this game. What I want to say is, no matter who the opponent is, I will take him." Beat the ones down."

Shentong stared at the ball in the referee's hand and ignored Hughes.

Hughes: "."

The silence speaks.

Just when Hughes was still trying to challenge Shentong, the Cavaliers had already taken the lead in winning the ball!

James made a long pass to Shentong as soon as he got the ball.

Shentong, who was already on a fast break, took off after receiving the ball and dunked the ball into the basket!

It started with a dunk.

After scoring, Shentong stared at Hughes who had just ran back, opened his hands and shrugged.

This was in response to what Hughes had just said.

"This kid" Hughes clenched his fists.

Arenas dribbled past half court.

Wagner on the outside wants to step forward and steal the ball.

Before Shentong could say "Don't rush to steal the ball," Arenas had already passed Wagner who was deceived.

With a smooth breakthrough, Arenas made a reverse hook in front of Big Z and scored the ball.

Although this shot looks very simple, Shentong can see the excellence in it at a glance.

First, he suddenly accelerated his breakthrough. The speed of this step was definitely no less than that of any of the four shooting guards, and the length of time he stayed in the air was even comparable to Carter. At the same time, he could also make a backhand layup after gliding in the air. This move was also the same as that of any of the four shooting guards. Maddie is very similar.

How awesome!

Shentong couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After the training camp, Arenas' strength has increased significantly, and Arenas at this moment is even stronger than when the training camp ended.

After this guy met a powerful opponent in the training camp, his personal abilities quickly absorbed and expanded like a dry sponge, making rapid progress.

You know, before training camp, Arenas was already the most improved player in the league.

Shentong held the ball with his back and relied on beating Hughes.

Hughes this season can be said to be a combination of offense and defense.

His right hand pressed against Shentong's back, and his left hand waited for an opportunity to take out the ball.

Shentong held the ball with one arm in his right hand, turned around, and suddenly took a step to the right.

Hughes was about to move when he suddenly felt himself hit a wall.

It's James who came to cover!

After gaining space, Shentong made an emergency stop and shot, as elegant as a dry pull.

Looking at the entire league, there are only two people who can be called dry pullers. One is Tracy McGrady, the representative of dry pulls, and the other is Shentong, who has a cool style of play.

Now Shentong, Qianba and Tracy McGrady have their own styles.

McGrady's pull-up posture is elegant, and his calf jump is full of explosive power.

Shentong's dry pull is as light as a breeze, as if there is no gravity, it stays in the air, and then throws the ball out.

"Uh-huh."

Shentong's pull-up climbed steadily into the basket.

The defensive Hughes couldn't help but spray out a Chinese curse word he learned online.

"Ghostwriting."

"Hey, kid, this is a dirty word, don't say it nonsense, you have to be a good baby." Shentong replied.

After all, thieves are wise, and spraying is not dirty.

"Ghostwriting."

Hughes is on fire!

"Hey, you can't say bad words."

Hughes actually didn't know what "ghostwriting" meant, but he had seen Chinese netizens leave this word on the Internet, as if it was a curse.

He didn't expect that Shentong would react to this word.

Of course Hughes, who thought he was "in place", would not listen to STO.

“Ghostwriting ghostwriting!”

Hughes spoke faster and more.

"Ah, I want to die, you little ghostwriter!"

Hughes shut his mouth instantly.

In fact, he had no idea how to answer.

I was a little shocked inside.

Although he had some skills in talking nonsense, he didn't know the meaning of "ghostwriting", but the word "ghostwriting" was included in Shentong's long reply.

Therefore, the power of Shen Tong's words must be greater than his own.

But Hughes only said this.

After holding it in for a long time, he silently closed his mouth.

After the Wizards' ball was passed from the outside several times, it was passed back to Arenas again.

The guy stood up straight and dribbled the ball back and forth in front of Wagner, seemingly not paying attention to the opponent at all.

This time Wagner was honest and did not rush forward to steal the ball. Instead, he always kept a step forward to prevent Arenas from suddenly accelerating to break through.

But this time, Arenas suddenly stopped while dribbling, and then shot a three-pointer!

At the moment of shooting, Arenas' face was full of confidence.

"Uh-huh."

Also hollow through the net.

Arenas raised his hands and thunderous cheers erupted.

Shentong looked at Arenas and couldn't help but think.

This guy has become the master of this place.

After being scored consecutively by Shentong, Hughes began to play close defense.

Hughes, who is 1.96 meters tall, has sharp steals and flexible movement, but it is really difficult to get rid of him.

However, today's STO has breakthrough attributes as high as 95-100.

Facing Hughes, Shentong started dribbling.

With this goal, he planned to verify the power of his breakthrough.
