The Fifth Point Guard

Garnett's pretense of stubbornness completely collapsed in the middle of the second quarter.

The score is 45-25, and the Cavaliers have led the Timberwolves by 20 points.

Garnett looked at his teammates.

Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Mike James.

Nothing.

He couldn't help but look at the Cavaliers players.

In addition to STO, they also have James, Wagner and Ilgauskas.

At that moment, Garnett felt a little sad.

Like the biting Minnesota wind.

A lone wolf, standing in the snow.

The Cavaliers attack.

James controls the ball.

Shentong stepped forward and made a double pick-and-roll with James, and then went straight down.

Facing a triple team, he dunked after receiving a pass from James.

Blount, Davis, and Foye could only watch the ball and sigh, saying nothing.

Shentong pressed them to the ground and rubbed them. They looked soft but were actually strong.

Just like cotton!

Garnett almost lost his fighting spirit.

Facing the current mess of the Timberwolves, coupled with Cleveland's championship halo, Garnett can no longer suppress his emotions.

He wants to leave this team and join a team that has a chance to compete for the championship.

Here Jaric broke into the penalty area with an epileptic European step and scored a layup.

Although his steps are staggering, and it looks like there are too many luxury cars at night, he can score goals with his European steps.

Shentong saw it in his eyes and learned it immediately.

The feeling is coming and I can't stop it, and I'm influenced by European steps.

After passing two players from the Timberwolves and performing normally, Wuhu~~ took off!

One-handed layup.

The ability to absorb new things on the spot.

Just like cotton!

After the first three quarters, the Timberwolves were already 30 points behind.

Garnett scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and there was no need to play anymore.

He sat on the sidelines, looking melancholy.

Like Paul Pierce who lost at home.

Although Pierce scored 32 points, the Celtics were still defeated by the Heat 109-97.

Pierce, who saw O'Neal and Wade looking proud, had the same mood as Garnett, who watched Shentong and James sit on the sidelines and high-five each other.

After the game, Garnett took the initiative to find team coach Dwayne Casey.

"Kaizi, let me tell you the truth. I am no longer in the mood to stay here and play. Please tell the management to either bring me some decent helpers or let me leave here."

This moment is just like that moment.

Pierce showed his hand to the Celtics.

"Trade me, I'm tired of losing, or get me an All-Star player, not like Antoine Walker."

At almost the same moment, Ray Allen, who was far away in Seattle, also expressed the idea of ​​leaving in his heart.

After reaching the Western Conference semifinals in the 2004-05 season, the Sonics once again fell into a trough.

Ray Allen, who scored 22 points, had to admit that he alone would not be able to lead the Sonics to realize their dream of a championship.

Let alone the championship, in the Western Conference with so many powerful enemies, even reaching the playoffs is a luxury.

Is it really going to be a lifetime without a crown?

The three heads of their respective teams were not reconciled.

Perhaps, it's time to try the taste of group hugging.

The first battle was successful, and it was an easy win.

The atmosphere at the first game of the new season felt like a festival.

Wagner performed well in this game, scoring 17 points and also contributing 12 assists.

It is rare for Wagner to have double figures in assists. Although he has always been the team's starting point guard, his offense is greater than his passing.

In the team, James seems to be more of a passer, while Wagner is a rusher.

During his several years with the Cavaliers, Wagner averaged only 6.5 assists per game in a single season.

Sent 12 assists in the first game, which has to be said to be a visible improvement for Wagner.

For Hardaway's careful guidance, Wagner, who has always been ambitious, took the initiative to thank Hardaway after the game.

"Thank you, Anfernee. In this game, I can feel that I have indeed improved a lot."

Hardaway patted Wagner on the shoulder and said, "You can teach a kid."

Shentong and James also joined the conversation between the two.

"Mencius said that when three people are walking together, there must be one teacher. So when we are together, we must learn from each other. We are still young and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

After Shen Tong finished speaking, James suddenly said: "Shen, if I remember correctly, the saying 'When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher', it should be said by Confucius, right? I have studied Chinese literature and history. .”

"Forehead"

James' words made Shentong speechless for a moment, because he also realized that he had indeed spoken to the wrong person.

Just when the atmosphere was gradually becoming ecstatic, Wagner suddenly said: "What Shentong just said was actually something Mencius had thought about, but he just didn't say it out loud."

Wow, just as I was wondering how to step down, the stairs were already set up.

Shentong quickly said: "Yes, that's it."

After saying that, Shentong gave Wagner a thumbs up and praised: "Well done."

James stared at Wagner, and when Shentong left, he kicked Wagner.

"You are the only one who knows how to flatter people. Do you want to be the second child?"

"I am the third child, and you are the second child."

"That's pretty much it. Call me second brother."

"Second brother Zhan."

"Um"

When the final whistle sounded, Shentong and Garnett shook hands and hugged each other.

In this game, friendship comes first and competition comes second.

Because the gap in team strength is too obvious.

Davis was still there to educate Foye and said: "Remember from now on, when playing with Shentong, you should not talk too much, just play honestly. Doing other things is redundant, you know? It's redundant."

Foye was worried and nervous.

The score was fixed at 130-98, and the Cavaliers won the opening game of the new season by 32 points, which was shocking.

Shentong only played 3 quarters and scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

James also played 3 quarters and scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Foye scored 8 points in the first quarter, but only scored 2 points in the rest of the time. He scored 10 points and 5 assists in the game, and his performance was high but low.

Garnett had 15 points and 7 rebounds. Due to the large point difference, he did not play in the fourth quarter.

Barkley commented on the game.

"The gap in all aspects, the Cavaliers used one game to prove to everyone the gap between a championship-level team and a team outside the playoffs. It is undeniable that Kevin Garnett is a A very good player, but the approach of the Timberwolves management is really hard to understand. I hope Kevin can go to other teams to try his luck. Anyway, if it were me, I would have left Minnesota long ago."

Smith agreed with Barkley's point of view, saying: "In fact, even Timberwolves fans want Kevin to leave. He has done enough for Minnesota, and he can still play efficiently for a few more years. , he should go to a team with championship hopes and give it a try."

After shaking hands and hugging several Cavaliers players, the Wolf King turned away with a lonely figure behind him.

At this moment, the scanned barcode appeared again and was locked on Garnett.

{

Name: Kevin Garnett

Available: "Jump Jump" (Purple Skill Book)

}

Fall!

Finally saw it fall again.

Shentong couldn't wait to click "Receive" and picked up the skill book that fell from Garnett's body.

Slightly different from the turnaround jumper, although this book "Turnover Jumper" contains the word "jump", it actually does not require jumping at all.

A true signature move of "Wolf King".

He leans his back against the defender, then suddenly turns around, touches the ground with his toes and shoots high with both hands, almost using a downward wrist posture to throw the ball toward the basket.

The release point of the ball is very high and the parabola is very flat, but the release speed is quite fast. The shooting action is so fast that the defensive players cannot keep up.

This move can be called Garnett's unique secret.

In fact, this move is not of much use to Shentong, because in the low-post situation, Shentong can completely defeat the opponent through his own fadeaway jumper or footwork.

This move is more suitable for big men rather than outside players like Shentong.

However, in line with the principle of excellence, Shentong quickly digested the contents of this skill book completely.

The next day, the team was training as usual.

Shentong was using J.R. Smith as a tool under the basket to practice the turnaround jump shot "stolen" from Garnett.

Smith's reaction and jumping are pretty good, but he can't do anything about Shentong's post-up play.

Shentong tried to turn over and shoot, but Smith really couldn't react at first.

4-for-5 from the field, Shentong is a quick learner.

"What kind of shot are you doing? It feels like you only did half of the action, and then you shot it. The rhythm made me so uncomfortable that it was difficult to seize the opportunity to block the shot." Smith muttered.

"That's right, this is the effect I want."

Shentong was thinking that if he mixed this shooting method with his previous singles under the basket, the difference in rhythm would make it more difficult for defensive players to parry.

"Come on, JR, let's hit some more."

"okay."

Smith, who is already convinced, will never refuse STO's request.

Just as the two were posing under the basket and continuing to prepare for practice, Susan, the team's public relations manager, hurried to the court.

"Shen, hurry up, hospital. Nina Nina is going to give birth."

Before Susan could finish speaking breathlessly, Shentong dropped the ball and ran to the locker room.

At the beginning of the new season, Nina Dobrev, whose due date was approaching, had already been admitted to the Maternity Center of Cleveland Hospital to await delivery.

Sister Hua and Michelle took turns taking care of Dobrev.

Shentong also specially hired two confinement sisters to take care of his beloved wife in advance.

Dobrev was arranged in a VIP room for one person, and next door was the confinement room for two people.

There is an escort bed in the VIP room, which is usually where Sister Hua and Michelle rest.

On weekdays, the confinement nanny is responsible for Dubov's diet and fruits, and a nurse comes to clean the room every day.

The room faces the sun and south, and the room maintains constant temperature and humidity.

If it weren't for the noisy baby in his belly, Dobrev's stay here would be completely like a vacation.

The morning after the Cavaliers beat the Timberwolves, Dubov felt something was wrong with his stomach.

Sister Hua immediately went to find the nurse. The nurse looked at her and said, "It's time to give birth." Then she began to prepare to enter the delivery room.

When Shentong arrived at the hospital, Dubov had just given birth.

Looking at Dubov, who had pale lips and was weak, Shentong immediately kissed his little wife on the forehead, and then left at the nurse's instruction to let Dubov take a good rest.

Then, Shentong saw his newborn daughter.

Although she had just left her mother's body, the little girl's hair was already quite lush and she didn't look like a newborn baby at all.

Due to the soaking, the little girl's body was still a little swollen. She curled her hands on her chest and still maintained the position in Dobrev's belly.

Shentong simply couldn't put it down, holding her and unwilling to let go. He looked up and down at his daughter repeatedly. The tenderness in his eyes could make people melt.

"Mr. Shentong, your daughter is very healthy after examination. Now we are going to take your daughter to take a bath and change clothes. You can meet again soon."

At the nurse's urging, Shentong reluctantly sent his daughter to the nurse's arms.

"Er smash, have you thought of a name?"

Taking advantage of her free time, Sister Hua asked Shentong.

Shen Tong nodded quickly and said to Lao Shen, Sister Hua, Constantine, and Michela who were standing nearby: "Shen Rou, Nina and I have thought about it. We hope that the baby will be a gentle and kind girl, whose nickname is Well, let’s call her Rourou.”

"Rourou is good, Rourou is good." Sister Hua quickly agreed.

After a while, Xiao Rourou finished her morning bath and was sent out by the nurse.

Shentong quickly took it and held Xiao Rourou in his arms.

Arriving at Dubov's bed, Shentong gave Xiao Rourou to Dubov for a look.

After taking a break, Dobrev's lips turned red again.

Sister Hua helped Dobrev up, put a pillow upright behind Dobrev and said, "It's good to be young, and your body will recover quickly."

Shentong sent Xiao Rourou into Dubov's arms.

As if she smelled her mother's breath, Xiao Rourou, who had been motionless just now, pursed her lips even though her eyes had not been opened.

"It's time to drink from grandma." Michela quickly motioned for everyone else to go out and said, "Okay, okay, you all go out, Nina is going to breastfeed, and it's not convenient for you to stay here."

Lao Shen, Constantine and Shen Tong left the room sadly, leaving only Sister Hua and Michelle to take care of them.

That afternoon, Shen Qing also rushed to the hospital to visit her sister-in-law and niece.

The four women chatted and teased Xiao Rourou from time to time in the room, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Shentong stayed outside the house for a long time, and occasionally came in to take a look at his little girl.

Outside the house, Lao Shen and Constantine were smoking and chatting.

That night, Shentong volunteered to stay.

The next morning, when Sister Hua came, Shentong was washing up with dark circles under his eyes.

Little Rourou drank milk three or four times a night and cried four or five times. In addition to watching Dobrev feed the baby and changing diapers himself, Shentong also occasionally helped the baby rub his belly and pat his back.

I didn't sleep for more than a few hours that night.

Without personal experience, I really don’t know how hard it is to raise children.

After a night of personal experience, STO returned the "battlefield" to the two confinement sisters and gave each of them an extra US$20,000.

After bidding farewell to Dubov and Xiao Rourou, Shentong rushed to Quicken Loans Center with dark circles under his eyes.

At this moment, the game between the Cavaliers and the Rockets has entered the fourth quarter.
