The Fifth Point Guard

When STO fans learned that their "sister-in-law" was only 15 years old, they called their idol a beast and happily set up a fan support website for Nina Dobrev. In just one day, there were people from Tens of thousands of fans around the world left messages.

After Christmas, the All-Star voting officially opened the voting window.

Relying on its strong popularity and current hot news, STO has exploded as soon as the window opened.

On the first day of voting, 120,000 votes were received, the most in the league!

You know, Shaquille O'Neal, who ranked second in the entire voting list, only received more than 20,000 votes.

What makes Chinese fans happy is that the third place in the voting list is also a Chinese player.

Yao Ming, who ranked behind O'Neal by 1,000 votes.

After becoming STO's official girlfriend, Nina Dobrev gradually adapted to life in the spotlight.

At the Cleveland Institute of Music, more and more students are approaching Dubov.

Dobrev, who was originally a bit introverted, became a warm and cheerful little beauty.

Even Nina Dobrev's mother Michela said that her daughter seemed to have grown up overnight and became more and more beautiful.

After games and training, Shentong would drive his luxury car to school to pick up Dubov.

Naturally, it causes a commotion every time.

In just one week, except for the substantive step, STO has learned everything about Dubov.

There is still a bottom line for animals.

Dubov and Shentong said that his birthday is January 6th.

So after Christmas, Shentong marked his calendar every day.

On January 5th, Cleveland ushered in a focus battle at home. The opponent was the Seattle SuperSonics, which suddenly broke out this season.

This team can be said to be a weak team in the league.

The SuperSonics joined the NBA as early as 1967, which can be said to have a long history.

However, this team only won the NBA championship once in the 1978-79 season, and has missed the championship since then.

In the season when they won the championship, the team won more than 50 games in the regular season for the first time and had the first 50+ season in the team's history.

After entering the playoffs with 52 wins and 30 losses, the Sonics defeated the Lakers and Suns before meeting the Bullets in the Finals.

After losing one game first, the Sonics won four consecutive games and won the first NBA championship in team history.

After a brief period of glory, the Sonics gradually fell into a trough again.

Time flashed to the 2003-04 season. After Gary Payton left, using the picks obtained from this transaction, the SuperSonics selected Nick Collison and Luke Ridnour in the 2003 draft. Both players were picked in the top 14 of the first round.

In Seattle, they grew very quickly, but the team's regular season record this season was 37 wins and 45 losses, creating the team's worst record since the 1980s.

As the saying goes, when things go to extremes, they must be reversed.

This season, the Sonics have bottomed out and have an excellent record of third place in the highly competitive Western Conference, ranking only behind the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs.

According to the current winning rate, the SuperSonics can definitely achieve 50+ wins, and when they achieve this kind of results, they will directly target the championship!

The SuperSonics' impressive performance in the new season is inseparable from their outside shooting.

Some experts even say that the rise of the Sonics and the Suns is exactly the same. They both use fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions and precise shooting to bring down their opponents and kill them with long-range shots.

"Gentleman Sword" Ray Allen is the leader of this team. He averaged 23.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season, and his three-point shooting rate reached 37.6%. His performance is very good.

The three-point line is like the free throw line to Allen.

The shooting method of jumping to the highest point and shaking the wrist is also Allen's signature move.

High, fast, almost impossible to block, and hard to guard against.

This is already Ray Allen's ninth season. As a member of the golden generation of 1996, Allen's achievements are far inferior to those of the "four major shooting guards" that shocked the past and the present. His reputation has even been surpassed by STO who came from behind.

For this "fifth shooting guard" who has been mentioned by countless people, Allen, who has a reserved and calm personality, has actually long been eager to express himself.

This season, he has gradually revealed his true qualities as a killer with one sword to seal his throat, and has taken on the important role of team leader.

Successful people always have an excellent deputy beside them.

Rashard Lewis, a small forward who is 2.08 meters tall, finally made a breakthrough this season.

After four years of averaging 15+ points per game, Lewis finally broke through 20+ points per game this season.

With 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks, Lewis is definitely a very high-quality second player.

With this data, many teams can even be the boss of the team.

His all-around performance has led to comparisons with Odom.

What is more commendable about Lewis is his accurate three-point shooting this season.

He averaged only one fewer shot per game than Ray Allen, but his shooting percentage reached an astonishing 40%.

What is the concept?

That is to say, if others only shoot 2 points, they must achieve a shooting rate of at least 60%+ to achieve similar scoring efficiency.

What's more, Lewis will take fewer shots, so his efficiency will be higher.

With a height of 2.08 meters and a weird shooting method, Lewis is also a player whose shooting depends entirely on his own touch. Almost no one can interfere with his shooting.

After setting up two heavy guns on the outside, the Seattle SuperSonics also stocked up on several tough players on the inside.

Their offensive method is very clear, shooting from the outside, grabbing the board inside, grabbing the board and shooting from the outside.

This poses a severe test to the ability of inside players to grab offensive rebounds.

Jerome James, who is 2.13 meters tall, is the starting center of the Sonics.

To say that this Jerome is nothing remarkable, the second-round pick in 1998, his performance has always been mediocre.

The best season of his career in 2002-03 was only 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game.

But as a blue-collar insider, he is willing to do dirty work, has an absolute height of 2.13 meters, and can also come out in pick-and-rolls and flexibly fill positions. This is a perfect patch for the current Sonics team.

In fact, Jerome actually had his shining moments.

But this moment is a bit embarrassing for Yao Ming.

That was Yao Ming's rookie season when he first entered the NBA.

As the substitute center for the SuperSonics, Jerome successfully defeated Yao Ming in 5 consecutive singles after coming on the court!

Yes, you are not mistaken.

5 times in a row!

singles!

A second-round pick who was the No. 1 pick couldn't find North.

After beating Yao Ming on the offensive end, Jerome made Yao Ming miss two shots on the defensive end, ending with an embarrassing 0 points.

That game caused a sigh of relief from the Rockets' home fans at the Compaq Center.

Although Yao Ming had just entered the NBA at that time and was still a little acclimated, the experience of that game did make Yao Ming feel very embarrassed and embarrassed.

When recalling this game, Yao Ming even joked: "I was almost beaten to death. He made me really doubt whether I could play in the NBA for the first time. But fortunately, I survived." come over."

Although Yao Ming now faces Jerome without any pressure, the experience of being abused will never be erased.

The other person who partners with Jerome in the paint is also a blue-collar power forward.

Reggie Evans, nicknamed "The Rebounding Beast."

This guy has a rugged build. Although he is only 2.03 meters tall, he has a strong rebounding ability.

He has a fierce style of play and a tenacious will. He is a tough-guy insider who cannot be beaten to death.

In fact, he, like Ben Wallace, is a player whose environment develops his abilities.

Evans was born in a small city called Pensacola, located in northwest Florida. Although it has a small population, its crime rate is extremely high, almost twice the national average!

Evans was born into a poor family. His father left his wife and children very early, and his older brothers and sisters also behaved frugally and were in constant trouble.

Growing up, Evans often received help from his neighbors.

Like many children from slums, the basketball court is his only refuge.

Here, Evans used his thin body to face the confrontation on the court and the difficulties off the court, gradually honing his tenacious character and tough basketball style.

Since the start of the game, Evans has occupied the position of the Sonics' starting power forward simply by relying on his rebounding skills.

The data of 4.9 points, 0.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks is simply unbelievable that a team ranked third in the Western Conference would use such a player as a starter.

But he averaged 11.7 rebounds per game, 4 of which were offensive rebounds, ranking first in the league!

This means that he alone can give the Sonics 4 more scoring opportunities in one game!

Unbelievable.

Finally, there is the team's commander, young sophomore Luke Ridnour.

After a lackluster rookie season, Ridnour was entrusted with a big responsibility in his second season.

He became the third turret besides Ray Allen and Lewis.

Although the data of 10 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game seem quite satisfactory, they were obtained between two 20+ teammates.

The equally impressive 37.6% field goal percentage and 88.3% free throw percentage are no different from the "sharp shooter" Ray Allen.

With the two big brothers, Ridnour only needs to do his job, move the ball steadily to the frontcourt, make no mistakes, and hit some open shots.

This is the first time the Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Seattle SuperSonics this season.

In their last game against the Suns, which has a similar style to the Sonics, the Cavaliers lost in an offensive battle.

Therefore, the Cavaliers dare not be careless about this team in excellent condition.

Before the game started, a person appeared on the big screen, and then the entire stadium cheered.

The person who caused the commotion on the court was none other than Shentong's real girlfriend, Nina Dobrev.

In order to spend his 16th birthday with Shentong as soon as possible, Dubov specially came to the scene that night to cheer for Shentong.

For such a lovely beauty, the fans at the scene did not hesitate in their applause and cheers, and gave this young "sister-in-law" full respect and love.

Shentong, who was warming up, was reminded by James and discovered this scene.

He smiled at Dubov on the sidelines, who responded with a naughty tongue sticking out.

This wave of dog food made many men and women at the scene smile like fathers and mothers.

Wagner: "Shin and Nina are too much and don't pay any attention to the feelings of us singles."

James: "Sorry, I already have a partner."

Wagner: "Okay, woof woof."

In previous games, all the flame attributes of the "Zodiac Flame Roulette" have been used.

Among them, in the last use of the turntable, Shentong also turned on the hidden attribute: physical confrontation.

{

Physical confrontation: 80-85

Advantages: A player with an advantageous figure at the shooting guard position, who has an advantage in confrontation.

Disadvantages: Need to better control your body, improve your sense of balance, more perfectly integrate jumping and physical confrontation, and increase your upper limit

}

With a lower limit of 80 and an upper limit of 85, this attribute value is already quite high.

The efforts of Shentong, who likes to spend time in the gym, have not been in vain.

In fact, among Asians in the same position, there is no second defender who can have the upper hand against Shentong.

You know, Shentong is a guy who once trained hard in the "Cabin of Time and Spirit" to carry 6 times the gravity to complete the layup in the confrontation.

As for the improved sense of balance mentioned in the disadvantages, it can be regarded as the best among the advantages.

In fact, Shentong is now fully capable of completing various shocking actions in the air.

However, from the description, the value of 85 is not the ceiling for STO, and the upper limit of this attribute can still be increased.

In the game against the Wizards, Shentong completed a double kill of Arenas' personal data and team data, thus successfully winning the title of "General".

This opens up the "title" reward.

Obtain the title of General: The probability of famous scenes is greatly increased, and all attributes are increased by 1 point.

This is like the Golden Silkworm King in "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Moreover, "the probability of famous scenes has been greatly increased", which makes people full of expectations.

Before this game, Basketball God Space refreshed a new main mission.

{

Main mission: Go to Tiniang’s championship dream

Mission statement: I heard that the SuperSonics can win 50+ games this season? I heard that if you get 50+ you can win the championship? too naive.

The "difference" of this task stunned Shentong.

Also, the name of this main quest is so domineering.

Go away from your dream of becoming a champion!
