The Fifth Point Guard

Ben Wallace: "Dude, what's wrong? Look, you're so angry."

Rashid replied: "Young players today are so annoying."

"It's okay, we'll make them look good on the field later!"

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers encountered the Pistons' iron barrel array.

Wagner almost made a dribbling error while being guarded by Billups.

James had a weight advantage over Prince, but Prince's long arms also caused a lot of trouble for James.

Although Big Z was a head higher than Wallace when he got the ball inside, his lower plate was extremely unstable.

Wallace’s second brother is thicker than Big Z’s calf

Gooden had no temper at all when facing Rashid.

So in the first quarter, the Cavaliers were extremely uncomfortable.

but!

This does not prevent the Cavaliers from leading the Pistons in scoring.

The noise level at Quicken Loans Center continues to be high.

All this is because of Hamilton's opponent Shentong!

You know, Hamilton's close pressing defense is amazing.

When the Pistons played against the Lakers, Kobe had a headache with Hamilton's defense.

Facing Shentong, who has a strong scoring ability, the Mask Man's defensive strategy is just one word: stick.

Use your body as a wall, sticking it tightly in front of you, leaving you no room to shoot or dribble, making the ball extremely awkward.

The reason why Hamilton wears a mask is because it is too tight, and his opponent's elbow raised while holding the ball is repeatedly hit in the face.

After wearing a mask, Hamilton felt more confident.

Facing a defense like Hamilton, if this was left in the past, STO would have mostly used pick-and-rolls or low post singles to solve the problem.

However, the Pistons' defensive system is very strong, and the players can directly switch defenses and make up defenses very quickly.

As for the low post, Double Wallace is famous for a reason.

Breaking this situation just gave Shentong a chance to test its steps.

If it’s difficult to break through the wall, then go around it.

STO took Hamilton as its axis and turned in a circle.

At first, Shentong felt that the power of this kind of turning in circles was limited.

But when he actually used it, he realized that his power was really boundless!

He turned around and hit the inside line.

Neither Wallace nor Rashid expected Shentong to successfully break through the wall so quickly, before they had time to defend.

Shentong easily picked up the basket.

Didn't expect that passing others would be so easy? !

Compared with the previous steps, false moves, feints, and changes of direction.

You need to be full of drama to complete a pass.

But now, all it takes is a circle.

Facing Hamilton again, this time the opponent strengthened its defense on the left side and did not give Shentong the opportunity to directly enter the penalty area.

But if one side is strong, the other side will inevitably be weak.

Lower your body, push the ground with your left foot, and at the same time dribble with your right hand to change direction and break through.

In the blink of an eye, Shentong had arrived on Hamilton's right side.

Rashid has been observing Shentong's movements and saw the opportunity coming.

But before Rashid, who was on defense, could stand firm, Shentong turned away from him like a top.

Rashid wondered.

What just happened?

Something disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Shentong, who broke through and then turned around, immediately avoided the double-team situation of Hamilton and Rashid.

It's the basket again, it's the basket again.

Then with the force of the rotation, Shentong held the ball behind his head with both hands, and then facing a pair of big black hands who didn't know who it was, he slammed the ball into the basket!

When Shentong landed, the intensity of the rotation had not disappeared, and he finally managed to hold on to the rotation.

Looking back, I saw the resentful look in Big Ben Wallace's eyes.

The person who was dunked just now turned out to be Wallace!

The ability to get rid of this Tai Chi step is really amazing.

Shentong couldn't help but think of the "Lingbo Weibu" mentioned in Jin Yong's novels.

It's just elusive and hard to guard against.

In the first quarter, Shentong tried Tai Chi Steps for the first time and achieved results beyond expectations.

The seemingly impregnable Pistons defense was turned around by Shentong, drawing circles after circles in the Pistons' half.

The Pistons players clearly saw Shentong's footsteps and knew that Shentong was going back and forth, but they were unable to effectively contain it.

Turn left for a while, turn right for a while, continue left after turning left, and sometimes turn right.

Hamilton, who was facing him, almost cried.

When leaving the field at the end of the first half, Hamilton vomited directly

Shentong spun around in front of him, causing Hamilton to faint.

As for Double Wallace

He is as tough as iron, but facing such a smooth Shentong, he really can't hold him back.

In the third quarter, the Pistons used their entire team's strength to pursue and intercept Shentong, and finally turned Shentong's top on defense.

But at this time, Shentong suddenly started passing the ball again.

James, Wagner, Smith, Marshall

Three-pointers rained into the Pistons' basket.

Pistons basket: Slow down. Slow down. I can't stand it!

In this game, the Pistons seemed to go back a few years ago.

The opponent at that time was the Orlando Magic. A young boy from the opposing team was rushing in and out of the Pistons penalty area.

Although they knew that it was not good for the same person to come and go repeatedly in public, the Pistons really had no choice.

A young man with a white horse and a silver gun, it is the right time to be arrogant.

The same is true for STO at this moment.

No matter how much you resist, you can't stop Shentong from coming in and out.

The powerful insider formed by the double Wallace was actually played around by Shentong at will.

When he once again witnessed Shentong's dunk after a breakthrough at close range but was unable to do anything about it, Wallace couldn't help but sigh: "Our era has passed."

This black man who once won the best defensive player and rebounding king knew that he would never be able to win the championship with Shentong around.

But Rashid didn't give up.

Even if he dies, he must roar so loudly before he dies.

Roaring Tianzun, he can only die standing!

So, when Shentong once again used Tai Chi to enter the penalty area in an attempt to complete a dunk, Rashid rushed out.

Shen Tong was knocked to the ground like a hug and a throw!

This foul is somewhat similar to O'Neal's action of knocking down Carter in the air.

Obviously, this foul was directed at someone.

Surprisingly, Shentong suddenly jumped up from the floor seemingly unscathed.

In fact, just now, Shentong noticed that Rashid looked at him in a strange way.

It made his heart beat thumpingly.

So when Rashid rushed over, Shentong was already prepared for the impact.

Perhaps because he had learned the tact of Tai Chi, Shentong was still spinning even when he was thrown to the ground by Rashid.

Most of the impulse was removed by rotating on the floor, which is why Shentong was unscathed.

Fortunately, Shentong had made preparations in advance, otherwise Rashid would have been seriously injured if he did this.

When Shentong just jumped up from the floor, the Cavaliers players present had already rushed up and surrounded Rashid.

Even if the opponent is the Roaring God, there are no weaklings in Cleveland!

The one who was particularly injured was the team boss.

Rashid had never encountered such a situation of being surrounded by the entire opponent, and he actually showed a trace of shortness of breath.

The Pistons players are not jealous. Billups, Prince and others also stepped forward to support Rasheed. However, Ben Wallace, who was once the protagonist of the Palace of Auburn Hills, is relatively calm at the moment.

Hamilton, who had been teased by Shentong for three quarters, was also very angry and followed his teammates up angrily.

Seeing the referee intervene, the dispute was about to be settled, but it reignited because Hamilton stepped forward and pushed James.

This is Cleveland!

James immediately rushed forward majestically to fight Hamilton. Both sides had their own offense and defense, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while.

Over there, Wagner and Billups got into it for no apparent reason.

The scene immediately became chaotic.

Rashid seemed to think that the scene was not big enough, and added fuel to the fire. He stepped forward and pushed Shentong from behind.

Can you bear this?

Shen Tong turned around and saw that the initiator and the second offender were the same person, so he went up and kicked him.

Rashid suddenly had diarrhea.

It wasn't until the security came in and the coaches from both sides intervened that the scene gradually calmed down.

The referee sent out five people on the spot!

Billups, Hamilton and Rasheed of the Pistons were all ejected directly.

On the Cavaliers' side, Wagner and James were also directly sent off.

Shentong was only sentenced to a first-level flagrant foul because Shentong complained that kicking Rashid away was a subconscious reaction, hoping to open up space and avoid further deterioration of the situation. It was a legitimate defense. Who knew the referee actually believed it.

When Rashid heard the reason for Shentong's complaint, he immediately said that he was acting in self-defense. As a result, the referees all laughed.

"Rashid, if it weren't for the fact that we are the referee, I really want to slap you twice. You are the one who started this matter!"

When Shentong's eyes came into contact with Wallace, the latter suddenly raised his head.

"The weather is good today, quite windy and sunny."

The strength of the Pistons, which lost Rasheed and the two outstanding players in the backcourt, was greatly damaged.

On the Cavaliers' side, although James and Wagner were both sent out, JR Smith and Snow immediately stepped up, and with Shentong still on the court, the balance of victory immediately tilted towards the Cavaliers.

As Shen used Tai Chi to bypass Wallace and complete a two-handed dunk, the Pistons' spiritual totem was also shattered.

Wallace was heartbroken.

Maybe it's time to join the Cavaliers.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the game has entered garbage time.

Both sides replaced players for lineup drills.

It was just a formality to run out of time, but who knew that the rejuvenated Anfernee Hardaway would actually lead the team to a 17-0 climax!

Hardaway on the court seems to have entered the peak era of "Penny", able to shoot, make sudden passes and pass.

The Pistons' bench players are no match for Hardaway.

Hardaway plays these Pistons' substitutes just like Shentong plays their main force.

When Hardaway completed a looping layup, I wonder if the New York Knicks will regret abandoning Hardaway.

Probably not.

After all, they are already numb to doing this kind of thing.

The score was fixed at 110-85.

The strength gap between the two sides should not be as big as a 25-point difference, but the trend of the game was unexpected.

Hardaway, who was relieved, excitedly said to Shentong when he came off the court: "I feel great now. I feel like I am back to the time when I was omnipotent. Those flying and escaping ways of playing are all gone by me." My youth!"

Paul Silas reminded his son Stephen Silas: "Pay attention to Anfernee. I think he can contribute more to the team than we think."

"clear!"

The Pistons, who had gone through the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills, failed to raise their temper in Cleveland.

Rasheed Wallace publicly expressed his dissatisfaction at the post-game press conference.

"Is it because this is Cleveland that they can do whatever they want? Yes, we did it, but they also did it. However, we were fined three people, but they only had two, and one escaped punishment. This pair We are unfair!"

A female reporter from China couldn't bear it anymore.

She stood up and said, "Hey, Rasheed, we all know what you are like. After all, you are the Roaring Lord."

When Rashid saw that it was a beautiful Asian female reporter, she quickly restrained her appearance.

This beautiful woman knows her nickname.

"Have you heard my story?"

"No, but your face is full of stories."

After the game, both the Cavaliers and Pistons appealed to the league for their players who were fined.

Soon, the league made a penalty for the disturbance during the game between the Cavaliers and Pistons.

The second-level flagrant fouls of James, Wagner, Hamilton, and Billups were canceled and downgraded to level one.

Only the instigator, Rasheed Wallace, upheld the original verdict.

According to the league's requirements, Rashid will also have to pay a fine of $35,000 and be suspended for two games.

As for other players, including Shentong, each was fined US$15,000 in order to serve as a warning.

STO directly announced that it would pay James and Wagner's fines.

"They were fined because of me, so I paid the fine for them. I want to tell everyone who wants to anger the Cavaliers players that there are no softies in Cleveland. We are always ready to fight back. We don't cause trouble, but we are never afraid. The Cavaliers can’t be scared or crushed!”

Regarding STO's public statement on paying the fine, James also responded to the media.

He made a strong speech for Shentong: "This is Shentong, and this is why everyone supports him. He always carries the team forward and always thinks about others. In this team, Everyone wants to fight around him. He is a born leader. I love him, and each of us is. If anyone else makes provocative actions or words against him, I will still stand by Shentong without hesitation. In front of me."

Wagner said: "What can I really say? He is the boss of the team, so I will not refuse his behavior of paying the fine for me (laughing). As our boss said, there is no soft spot in Cleveland." Dan, if anyone wants to give it a try, we’re always happy to help!”

The next day, news about the Cleveland Cavaliers was published on major websites.

"The toughest defending champion!" 》

"Sentong, a born leader!" 》

"There are no softies in Cleveland!" 》
