The Fifth Point Guard

Ilgauskas looked sad.

This shows that O'Neal is going to be the main player in this game!

My life must be difficult.

There is a dull pain in the place where the head was hit.

If we put this aside before now, it must be important to save our lives!

But not now.

Why?

The Cavaliers are the defending champions.

As the starting center for the league championship, Big Z cannot back down no matter what.

not to mention.

we are family.

Since Shentong became the captain of the team, he has adopted the idea of ​​"We are a family" from Hidilao, which became popular across the country 10 years later, throughout the team and brainwashed the players.

Don't tell me, it really works.

Even someone like JR Smith is no longer a thorn in the team. I wonder who else can resist the theory of we are family!

On the offensive end, O'Neal didn't expect it.

Big Z actually held the ball and hit the inside.

Although I didn't move after carrying it for a long time, my courage was really commendable!

Looking at the entire league, the only ones who dare to use force on their own territory, except for the Eastern giant Yao Ming, are brainless Rodman and unhappy Barkley.

But Big Z, no matter what, dared to challenge him.

So when Big Z turned around and made a half hook, O'Neal came over with a big slap and slapped Big Z directly to the free throw line very fiercely.

Although Big Z did not score directly, his heroic and fearless spirit filled the Quicken Loans Center Arena, home of the Cavaliers, with noise.

Shaquille O'Neal is no longer equated with fear!

At least in addition to Yao Ming, there is another big guy who dares to confront O'Neal head-on.

Looking at the clear fingerprints on his forearm, Big Z originally wanted to cry to Shentong and James, but seeing the "we are family" and "we are brother" looks in the eyes of Shentong and James, Big Z silently endured everything.

Made two free throws.

"Shaquille, I'm not afraid of you!"

Big Z leaned against O'Neal's generous back on the defensive end and whispered.

O'Neal replied: "Really? I will beat you to pieces in a while!"

"Don't be afraid, if one me falls, there will be thousands of me!"

O'Neal didn't know what Big Z was doing recently. He felt like he had a different personality, but his desire to attack still made him open his hand to catch the ball again, then turned around and threw the ball towards the basket.

Although Big Z and Yao Ming are both tall players, in terms of deterrence alone, Big Z is much worse than Yao Ming.

As he watched the ball fly towards the basket without any hindrance, a long and thin arm suddenly appeared in the air and slapped the ball directly out of the air with ease!

O'Neal took a closer look, it was that guy again!

Shentong immediately moved forward at full speed after landing. Wagner didn't even have time to turn around after taking the ball. When he saw Shentong rushing to the side, he handed the ball directly to the opponent.

Never change your attitude toward others!

Shentong's breakthrough on the court was like a snake-like lightning, passing through the two defenders Wade and Williams!

In the backcourt, James Posey is waiting under the basket.

This guy can be considered a tough guy.

Posey, who mainly plays small forward, has a tough defense and a good three-point shot.

However, after he and Yao Ming only played for one season, he was unhappy because the Rockets valued Yao Ming too much and left the Rockets.

When he left, he complained to the media that he didn't know why the team would let a yellow big man be the core tactical player. He believed that Yao Ming was not suitable to be a core tactical player at all.

Therefore, Posey looks down on Asian players from the East.

Shen Tong, who came from the previous time and space, certainly knew this.

Facing Posey, Shentong went hard!

Percy was also hard and jumped up.

With the idea of ​​success or failure, Posey did not back down.

The two met in the air.

There was physical contact.

The referee's whistle sounded smoothly.

Since there was a foul, Posey could not let Shentong score 2+1.

He stretched out his hand to knock down the ball held by Shentong, but what he didn't expect was that Shentong controlled the ball with both hands and made a dodge in the air confrontation.

Percy's palm flew away.

What surprised him even more was that he had already fallen, but Shentong was still in the air!

Taking off at the same time, Posey couldn't believe that he had already landed while Shentong was still in the air. What a powerful ability to stay in the air and strength in his waist and abdomen.

After Posey completely fell, Shen Tong slowly threw the ball in his hand.

Although this period of time seems very long, it is actually only about 1 second.

Of course the ball rolled into the basket obediently without any obstruction.

After scoring 2+1, Shentong glared at Posey, who actually felt a little scared at that moment.

Jump high and have a hard body, Shentong is high and hard!

In this moment, Posey deepened his understanding of STO

After Shentong made an extra free throw, the Cavaliers started 5-2.

Wade, who is entering his third season in the league, will not let Shentong perform alone.

One can imagine Wade's mood after scoring 24.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks as a first-line star last season, but he could only watch his friend James win the championship.

This offseason, in addition to STO's training camp, Wade himself has also been practicing hard.

In addition to James, he also invited Anthony, Bosh and others to train together in a gym near his home.

Wade has only one goal this season.

Down with STO.

And win the championship.

Basically, being able to defeat Shentong and the Cavaliers, who are still on the rise, means winning the championship.

Using his unique maze step, Wade broke through to the basket and scored a backhand layup.

The movements were completed in one go, showing excellent competitive status.

This season, Wade's scoring average has once again increased to 28 points per game, and rebounds, assists and steals have still improved slightly.

It can be said that in the third season, Wade has transformed into the strongest Wade!

Then James just chuckled secretly.

After all, he has already won the championship ring first, and he is 3 years younger than Wade!

With the whole team of Cavaliers united, they caught the Heat's opening attack.

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers were slightly ahead 25-24.

Although trailing by 1 point in the first quarter, Stan Van Gundy is confident in his team at the moment.

The main force's confrontation is almost the same. STO's performance today is not outstanding. So with the Heat's bench depth, they are very hopeful that they can widen the point difference after the lineup change.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat, who competed with the second lineup, began to gradually gain the upper hand.

Antoine Walker scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, sounding the rally call for the Heat's charge.

Payton completed the steal from Snow, who was known for his "steadiness", and succeeded in a single attack on Snow on the offensive end.

When Mourning was on the defensive end, he pressed Varejao down from the air as he was about to dunk!

For a time, the Heat played a very strong scene.

Walker laughed wildly when he hit a three-pointer, Payton spat trash talk at the low-key Snow, and Mourning lowered his head and gave Varejao a death stare.

It seems the Heat have everything under control.

After Walker hit his third three-pointer in the second quarter, he glanced at Kapono who was sitting on the bench, as if to say: "Look, Jason, the defending champion of the Cleveland Cavaliers." The road has collapsed, the future belongs to us!"

The Cavaliers played for just a short while in the second quarter when they were forced to call a timeout.

The cheers at Quicken Loans Center were much muted.

Some fans even shouted for Paul Silas to be replaced immediately.

Just when everyone at the scene thought Silas was going to make substitution adjustments, the Cavaliers actually played again with the original second team.

Varejao, Marshall, Murray, Smith, Snow appear again.

Some unhappy fans booed harshly.

After being intercepted by Payton, Snow's dribbling and passing became more stable.

The outside line is well organized.

Murray received Snow's pass while running and did not need to adjust. He shot directly with a jumper and scored the Cavaliers' first sports goal of the second quarter.

Then Marshall and Smith teamed up to perform a unique skill of shooting three-pointers.

You come to me, and I come to you.

The two each hit two three-pointers, instantly closing the gap at the beginning of the second quarter.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the fans at Quicken Loans Center was ignited again.

As the Cavaliers gradually opened up, Walker and Payton's offense began to become more solid.

After Walker missed a three-pointer, Varejao grabbed a backboard.

The scene was filled with cheers.

Amidst the chants of "three points" and "three points" on the spot, JR Smith really did it.

Facing Payton's defense, Smith pulled up and shot a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line.

This ball is quite difficult. It seems that he thinks he is Shentong.

The ball certainly made close contact with the rim.

"Duang~~"

"Well" there was a burst of regret at the scene.

The Cavaliers' momentum of four consecutive three-pointers came to an abrupt end.

But before people could get out of their sighs, Varejao suddenly jumped out of nowhere and stole the offensive rebound from the gap!

With the ball in hand, Varejao threw the ball away.

After Marshall got the ball, he tried another three-pointer from the outside.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the ball bounced high off the back edge of the basket.

Didn't get in again!

The scene was full of regret again.

But something exciting happened.

Just when Mourning was stuck in position and was about to collect the rebound, Varejao stretched out his hand from under Mourning's arm and pushed hard before Mourning could get the ball. The ball hit the ball hard. The rebound bounced off the backboard and fell right into Varejao's hands!

Second consecutive offensive rebound!

At this time, there was a burst of exclamation from the scene.

People's attention quickly shifted from the missed three-pointer to consecutive rebounds.

Varejao, who got the rebound, did not force himself and distributed the ball to the outside again.

This time, it's Murray.

After taking the ball, Murray first feinted a shot, knocked Walker away, moved laterally, put his toes on the three-point line, and took a third shot from the outside!

However, the basket seemed to be making a joke with the Cavaliers players.

The ball that Murray was bound to score turned around inside the basket and then came out again.

The scene was filled with regrets again, including Shentong and James who had stood up to watch the game, and Wagner who was sitting on the floor with his head pressed by Shentong.

However, the exclamation sounded again.

Brazilian Varejao actually shook his afro and competed equally with Mourning for rebounds.

His fingertips touched the ball, and the ball flew away again and again.

The fans were amazed again and again because of the fight between the two.

Finally, Varejao took advantage of his hairstyle to catch Mourning's eyes, and finally controlled the ball in his arms in the third aerial battle!

This rebounding performance like Dennis Rodman's made the audience burst into warm applause.

Third consecutive offensive rebound!

Before Van Gundy could lose his temper, O'Neal couldn't sit still.

"Hey, Alonzo, what are you doing? Napping on the field?"

O'Neal's loud voice quickly reached Mourning's ears.

Varejao holds the ball and prepares to pass it to the outside.

At this time, he saw three pairs of eager eyes.

Smith, Marshall and Murray all opened their hands, like nestlings waiting to be fed, hoping that Varejao would give him another chance.

"To Eric!"

Shentong's voice pierced the sky and reached Varejao's ears.

After Snow got the ball, he dribbled with his left hand and raised his index finger with his right hand.

"Play this ball steadily."

Paul Silas nodded upon seeing this.

At this time, avoid getting too hot-headed and stay calm at all times.

After Snow made a tactical gesture, his teammates started running, but unexpectedly, this was a "fake move" by Snow.

Just when the Heat players thought the Cavaliers were going to slow down and use positional tactics, Snow suddenly took a shot from the outside.

This shot was completely unexpected by Payton.

So when Snow took action, everyone, including Payton, just watched helplessly, including the Cavaliers players on the court.

"Uh-huh."

Snow's shooting is as solid as his playmaking.

Either you don't take a shot, or you have a very high hit rate when you do take a shot.

Snow finally scored another three-pointer for the team when Varejao grabbed the third offensive rebound!

Stan Van Gundy couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the bench away.

Heat paused.

At this moment, the home atmosphere at Quicken Loans Center has completely returned to its original state.

When the Cavaliers players returned to the bench, they were greeted with warm applause and cheers.

Don't underestimate anyone!

Shentong stroked Varejao's head and praised with a smile: "Okay, Anderson, I can't tell you still have this unique skill."

Varejao smiled and replied: "Please, don't touch my hair. The head can be broken, but the hairstyle cannot be messed up."

Wagner put his arm around Snow's shoulders and said, "Eric, your shots are really accurate. I don't always see you attacking, but as long as you take a shot, you can basically do it. How did you practice this?"

Snow showed a shy smile and said, "You have been partnering with Allen Iverson for a long time, so you will naturally know how to do it."

Seeing his eldest brother and his third brother act like team leaders, James became anxious, grabbed JR Smith next to him and said, "Chicken, you played well."

Smith looked at James with a very blank look, as if there was a sudden short circuit.

After a while, just when James was about to feel embarrassed, Smith's brain circuit seemed to suddenly become smooth, and he replied: "Thank you, LeBron, come on, you can do it too!"

James looked at Smith's back.

I don’t know if I was encouraging the other person in the scene just now, or if the other person was encouraging me.

The pause time is over.

Shentong adjusted his hair with his hands and said, "Guys, it's time for us to play!"

"Roar!"

Both sides returned to their regular lineups.

After returning to the court, the Cavaliers had relied on the sudden power of the second team to gain a 5-point lead.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy frowned.

He felt that the Heat's undefeated status might not be preserved tonight.
