The Fifth Point Guard

"Hey, Kenny, do you believe it? This guy LeBron missed the last two games of the Finals, but Cleveland still won. This shows that LeBron is not very important to the Cavaliers."

Buckley's big mouth can't stop talking anymore.

It wouldn't be Barkley if he occasionally said something shocking during the live broadcast.

Smith replied: "That can't be said. It is said that during halftime of Game 7, LeBron made a call to the Cavaliers locker room to boost the team's morale. Moreover, he is now STO's 'Pippen'. Although Jordan can still win some games on his own without Pippen, but think about the Bulls' performance in the playoffs during those times, so let me say that LeBron is an indispensable member of Cleveland, and after returning healthy, LeBron will definitely be of great help to the Cavaliers on their way to defending their title."

On the court, James blocked Biedrins under the basket, handed the ball to Wagner, and the Cavaliers immediately launched a fast break.

The Cavaliers' fast-break trio is extremely fast, but the Warriors' defense is also fast.

Facing Richardson, Wagner distributed the ball to James on the left.

Facing Davis who was retreating, James threw the ball into the air without giving his opponent a chance to foul.

Shentong descended to earth, received an alley-oop pass from James with one hand, and dunked into the basket!

The Cavaliers gave the Warriors two dunks right from the start.

Gund Arena roared with cheers.

At this time, Barkley seemed to notice something and said: "Look, today not only Shentong's fiancée Nina Dobrev came to the scene, but LeBron's wife Savannah also came to the scene. No wonder these two people were full of excitement from the beginning. energy."

Smith said: "As the saying goes, if you look at the opponent from the sidelines, the basket is smashed. It will be very difficult for the Warriors to hold down the Cavaliers today."

Richardson hit the first shot for the Warriors.

"The Warriors have finally opened, and Jason Richardson is the player with the most star potential in the Warriors."

Barkley agreed with Smith and said: "But the Warriors' record has dragged him down, otherwise I think he should be an All-Star."

After receiving the ball, Shentong pulled up directly on the spot. The ball was elegant, heroic and the shot was picturesque.

"Uh-huh."

The ball passes hollowly through the net and makes a wonderful sound.

In the next offensive round, Shentong lowered his body and held the ball, pretending to break through, but he immediately put his foot back after taking a step, pulled it up on the spot and shot.

This ball was scored more cleanly, hitting the inside of the back edge of the basket and hitting the net without moving it.

Barkley couldn't help but praise: "Watching Shentong play is really stable. It feels like every ball is scored with open hands. This feeling is the same as watching Michael play."

Richardson defended for two rounds but was easily scored by Shentong, so the Warriors changed defense.

French player Michael Pietrus came on and replaced Dunleavy, who missed two shots.

Dunleavy, who was unable to hit shots on the offensive end, faced James and was completely empty on the defensive end.

Richardson switched to guard James, and Pietrus came to guard Shentong.

Seeing the Warriors making defensive substitutions, Smith quickly said: "Oh, the Warriors replaced Michael Pietrus. This guy has the nickname 'French Jordan' in France."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shentong's fake shot lit up Pietrus, and he strode into the basket for a layup.

Barkley quickly mocked: "Isn't this guy called 'French Jordan' just because his name is Michael?"

After the first quarter, Shentong scored 12 points with precise shooting.

In the second quarter, Shentong's offense was even sharper.

He first hit Pietrus on the edge of the penalty area and hit a fadeaway jumper, and then dodged in the air during the fast break and added another 2 points for a backhand dunk.

Pietrus, who was almost beaten on the defensive end, seemed quite unconvinced.

On the offensive end of the Warriors, Pietrus caught the ball and faced Shentong, who had no defensive position.

While the body was fighting fiercely, he took three steps and rushed to the basket. He leaned back slightly and threw the ball sideways towards the basket.

It's a pity that he underestimated Shentong's physical confrontation ability.

As soon as the ball reached mid-air, Shentong slapped the ball on the floor like a fly!

Gooden immediately threw the ball forward after taking the ball. Shentong, who had just completed the block, was already sprinting forward very quickly.

Shentong scored consecutively, which gradually heated up the atmosphere in the stadium. This emotion even affected Barkley, who was sitting in the live broadcast room to commentate.

"Shentong sprints to get the ball, but what will he do when faced with the pursuit and interception of three Warriors players? He didn't slow down, he's going to force it! Oops, the Warriors player fouled!"

At the moment when Shentong made a layup, there was Richardson in front, Pietrus and Davis in the back. The three of them surrounded Shentong in the air, making it clear that they were going to stop Shentong with a foul!

But even with Davis and Richardson hanging on his body, Shentong still threw the ball in his hand towards the basket.

"Bang."

All four of them fell to the ground, and Shentong jumped up first.

Because when he fell, he happened to be on top of three people.

Under Shentong's gaze, the ball hit the neck of the basket a few times and slowly rolled into the basket.

The referee made a gesture indicating that the goal was valid and a penalty was added.

The Warriors players looked ashen.

Barkley exclaimed: "Wow, I can't believe that Shentong's physical fitness is so good. He can still score the ball even though several players are involved in layups. It seems that there was a lot of hard training in the training camp this offseason. "

Smith said: "You don't know yet? After the training camp, he specially hired Jordan's personal trainer Tim Grove to train with him."

"Oh, you mean the guy who used to take Michael to physical and strength training?"

"Yes, that's him."

"I have heard that he trained Michael into a devilish muscleman. It is said that he can have six adults hanging on his body and still put the ball into the basket. It is a bit incredible."

"Indeed, that's why Shen has reached his current level and achievements."

"In other words, I could only dunk the ball into the basket with Shaquille O'Neal."

"Come on, Charles."

In this situation, Wagner stole the ball and made a fast break, seeing the basket in front of him.

"Dajuan, turn around and give me three points!"

Shen Tong's voice came.

This order was like an imperial edict, allowing Wagner to pass the ball back to Shentong on the outside under the opponent's unguarded basket without hesitation.

Buckley immediately shouted: "Oh, what is this guy doing? He's playing with fire!"

Amid Barkley's shouts, Shentong steadily hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Buckley immediately fell silent.

Smith came to his partner's rescue and said: "It's really unreasonable to pass the ball back, but the guy who shot the ball is Shentong, and it seems that Shentong asked for the ball. I don't think Dajuan dare not give it."

Buckley quickly said: "Da Juan is so miserable, the status of a donkey in the production team is not so low!"

"."

The Warriors finally completed a wonderful collaboration near the end of the second quarter.

Biedrins picked and rolled from outside, Davis swung his big butt into the penalty area, and passed back while leaning on Varejao and Gooden. Richardson took advantage of the opportunity, caught the ball on the edge of the small penalty area and sent out a two-handed dunk!

It was rare to hit such a smooth shot, and Richardson couldn't help shouting after landing.

There was less than 2 seconds left for the Cavaliers.

But at this moment, James quickly served the ball from the basket, and a precise pass flew directly from the backcourt baseline to the frontcourt, and accurately landed in the hands of the running Shentong.

No one from the Warriors players reacted.

Pressing time, Shentong made a quick layup, adding another 2 points for the Cavaliers before the end of the first half!

"A quarterback who can't play basketball is not a good player," Barkley said with a laugh.

And Smith said: "Just from this goal before the end of the first half, it is enough to see the gap between the two teams."

At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers, playing at home, led the Warriors by 16 points 57-41.

STO has made 10 of 15 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and all 5 free throws, scoring as many as 28 points.

Buckley and Smith, who have a keen sense of smell, have smelled an unusual smell.

In the second half, STO's firepower continued unabated.

Three consecutive hits from beyond the three-point line!

Then, under the double block of Richardson and Pietrus, they unexpectedly used a "fallback shot"!

At the moment when his body was almost lying on the floor, he avoided the blocking range of two Warriors players and threw the ball towards the basket.

What’s even more surprising is that the ball actually went in!

Barkley said in surprise: "Wow, what did I just see? What was that? I've never seen a shot like that."

Smith said: "The shot that fell to the floor went in. I have been commentating for so many years. This is the first time I have seen this guy. How strong is his waist and abdomen!"

At this point, no one from the Warriors can stop Shentong.

James' layup was missed by Biedrins. Shentong went straight from the three-point line to the penalty area, pressed Biedrins and took off, delivering a riding dunk!

As soon as the ball came out, the sun was shining brightly, and the players on the field just felt like the sky was above!

After three quarters, Shentong has scored 40 points.

The point difference between the two sides has reached 22 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, in order to ensure the victory, STO still did not stop. One person shot 6-0 at the beginning, helping the Cavaliers open the point difference to 30 points.

Five minutes into the final quarter, the Warriors gave up and replaced all their main players.

Richardson lowered his head, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and walked slowly off the court.

He never imagined that last season he was determined to catch up with STO this season, but after one game, the gap was even wider than before.

It seems that catching up with STO has become an unattainable dream.

How did he train?

Richardson looked at Shentong, feeling that he was like the Sword of Damoris standing over his head. As long as he was around, he would never be able to get ahead.

During the next timeout when the Warriors replaced all their main players, the Cavaliers also made adjustments to all substitutions.

With 50 points in the opening game, STO slowly walked off the court amid whistles and cheers waving their arms.

Buckley said: "If STO continues to fight like this, it may be his world in the next 10 years."

Smith also said: "This league does not have a 'bad boy army', but it may give birth to a second Michael Jordan. This is also good. It allows those who have never seen the 'God' play to see what the horror of court dominance is. "

“I think the Cavaliers’ title defense this year is very promising!”

Shentong still did not relax after coming off the field, and kept calling on his teammates to cheer for the players playing on the court.

This is considered a very united approach, but it is actually because STO must ensure that the points difference remains above 20 points.

But after a while, Shentong realized that he was worrying too much.

J.R. Smith, who came on the bench, hit three consecutive three-pointers from the outside, bringing the scene into a frenzy.

At the end of the game, the score was an exaggerated 123-84.

The Cavaliers beat the Warriors by 39 points!

This score clearly reflects the gap between the defending champion and the bottom team in the league.

However, STO's 50 points was not his highest score in a single game on the first day of the regular season.

In the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks, Allen Iverson and Michael Redd, the top players on both sides, had a high-scoring battle.

Iverson made a sharp breakthrough and Reid shot accurately.

In the end Iverson won the individual show, but the Bucks won the game.

Iverson made 21 of 38 shots and scored 54 points, 2 rebounds and 9 assists.

Reed made 30 shots and hit 18 goals, scoring 40 points and 4 rebounds.

Although Reid's scoring was not as good as Iverson, the Bucks defeated the 76ers 127-118.

In several other games, players such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady also all scored high scores.

The Lakers faced the challenge of the Nuggets at home. Kobe made 16 of 31 shots and scored 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. He led the Lakers to a 112-92 victory over "Melon" Anthony's Nuggets, a tribute to the returning coach Phil. -Jackson got off to a good start.

Anthony scored 21 points and 6 rebounds.

In the Rockets' home game against the Kings, McGrady made 19 of 31 shots and scored 43 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Yao Ming scored 22 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

The "MM" combination led the Rockets to defeat the Kings 108-89.

In the Heat's game against the Nets, Wade and Carter also both scored high points.

The Heat, playing at home, narrowly defeated the Nets 90-89, with a slight advantage of 1 point.

Wade scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Carter scored 32 points and 5 rebounds, outperforming Wade, but unfortunately missed the final shot.

Many players scored 30+, 40+ or ​​even 50+ points on the first day of the regular season, which also aroused heated discussion and attention from fans.

People call the first regular season day of the new season "score day."

But in fact, the players scoring high scores did not just happen to explode collectively.

This is due to changes in the league environment.

In the distant 1977 season, the NBA established a "hand-checking" rule, which allowed defensive players to make physical contact with the opponent as long as it did not affect the movement of offensive players.

In 2000, the league adjusted the details of this rule and clarified in detail whether arms can be used to contact opponents in different areas of the court.

To put it simply, it is to protect offensive players above the free throw line and limit the defender's movements. At the same time, defensive players cannot block the movement of offensive players with their forearms, shoulders, hips, or hands. This is a signal to encourage offense.

In the following 2002 season, illegal defense was completely abolished.

The content of illegal defense is difficult to explain clearly. To put it simply, it requires 1-on-1 defense and zone defense cannot be used. The abolition of illegal defense means that the team can use zone defense and use more resources to protect the basket.

At the same time, a new defensive three-second rule emerged. That is to say, you can use zone defense, but the big man can't stand in the paint forever, there is a time limit.

Halftime time was also reduced to 8 seconds.

This season, the rules are simple, and penalties for contact, blocking fouls, and defensive three-second violations have become more severe.

These three modifications to the penalty standards are simply epic enhancements for outside ball holders.

It is foreseeable that in the new season's scoring list, there will be high-scoring rankings across levels.

The new season will be a new era for stars to score crazy points!
