The Fifth Point Guard

  Chapter 529 Popularity bursts, shocking appearance (4k chapters)

   Entering the Eastern Conference Finals again, the Cavaliers can feel the atmosphere is different.

  The overwhelming news is all about them and the other three teams that made it to the conference finals.

  Tactics, personnel and even private life are all exposed in the spotlight.

  At this stage of the field, there is almost no possibility of upset.

  The reason why the Lakers with F4 lost to the Pistons in the Finals is of course due to the strength of the Pistons, but more reasons are actually their own problems.

  The contradiction in the locker room split the Lakers, causing the team to simply not have enough energy to contend with the united iron-blooded pistons.

  So, that round of the Finals is not strictly speaking upset in the true sense. It can only be said that the Lakers themselves are unworthy and have swung their knife from the palace.

  For the Eastern Conference finals between the Cavaliers and the Heat, some media commented on them.

"The combination of Shentong and James is like Jordan and Pippen, while Reggie Miller plays the role of Steve Kerr. They are like the Bulls team configuration during the championship. Although they are missing. A Dennis Rodman, but the Bulls in Jordan did not have a center like Ilgauskas."

"The Miami Heat is centered on Shaquille O'Neal, with Dwyane Wade and Eddie Jones two all-star outsides, plus blue-collar power forwards Udonis Haslem and Damon Jones, The configuration looks like the Los Angeles Lakers in the'OK combination' period, but Damon is slightly weaker at the point guard position."

   "In short, these two teams are a bit like the configuration of Jordan's Bulls and O'Neal's Lakers, and they can be regarded as satisfying people's expectations for the meeting between Jordan and O'Neal in the Finals."

  The above is a comment from the American media, and the following is a comment from the Chinese media.

  "Great Chinese Derby! Shen Tong and Wang Zhizhi meet in the Eastern Conference Finals!"

  "At the moment of making history, the Chinese men's basketball team has entered a new stage and embarked on a new journey!"

  Wang Zhizhi played for the Heat this season and reached the Eastern Conference Finals with the team.

  In the team, because of Alenzo Mourning’s presence, Wang Zhizhi’s playing time is very limited.

  The performance of averaging 2.2 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game is not at the same level as Shentong.

  However, seeing two Chinese players representing different teams in the NBA Eastern Conference finals still made many Chinese fans full of expectations.

  For the alliance, the ratings from China will be greatly increased.

  On May 22, 2005, the eastern and western finals played one game first.

  The Cleveland Cavaliers sit at home to meet the challenge of the Miami Heat.

  6 hours before the start of the game, a lot of media and fans came to Gund Stadium one after another.

  At the entrance of the arena, a staff member began to install a large screen.

Obviously, tonight’s tickets are tight again. The Cavaliers’ management knows that they can’t satisfy all the fans, but they want to feel the atmosphere at home, so they set up a big screen outside the arena in advance to cheer for the home team. Hardcore fans without tickets.

  Three hours before the start of the game, the Miami bus slowly drove in and met a collective greeting from the Cleveland fans.

  "Hey, old shark, Shentong and James will make you fresh sashimi tonight."

   "Dwyane, you are far from Shentong!"

   "LeBron is your strongest rookie this year."

  There are **** female fans holding a large white board with the words "Knight 2-0 Heat" written on it.

  Wade didn’t feel anything when seeing this poster. The female fan holding the poster shook and flicked while holding the poster, which made Wade a little dizzy.

   "Guys, leave them alone, just play our own." O'Neill closed his eyes and said with a relaxed expression.

  At this time, it is necessary for an experienced veteran like O'Neal to stabilize the army.

  Wade has played very well this season, but in terms of leading the team, he is still far behind Big Brother.

  In the court, there is still half an hour before the game, and the players of both sides warm up on the court.

   "Big Z, your opponent tonight is not easy." Shen Tong looked at the opposite court and said to the big Z beside him.

  Big Z touched his bald head and said, "Damn it, I hope I don't get hit by his big elbow again tonight."

  Varejao walked over with the ball in both hands and said with a smile: "Hey, big Z, don't worry, I'm ready to play at any time."

Wagner scored a three-pointer, shook his wrist and said: "Shin, LeBron, you have to pay attention to your opponents. Eddie Jones is very strong in his own right. He has also played next to Shaquille, Dwyane. This season's performance is also good, be careful that they suddenly go wild in the game."

  Shen Tong and James looked at each other and smiled at each other.

  Seeing the two of them looking at him with smiles at the same time, Wagner shrugged and said: "Who made my opponent Damon Jones? I am very relaxed when I lose the draft."

   "Don't be careless." James reminded.

   "The last player to play is the 2.16-meter center, Shaquille O'Neal!"

  As the last player of the Heat team played, the DJ of Gund Arena introduced all the players of the visiting team.

  When the finale Wade and O’Neal played, some sporadic cheers could be heard on the scene, but they were soon annihilated in a boo.

  After introducing the Heat’s head coach Stan Van Gundy, the lights on the scene suddenly dimmed!

  As Sirius’s music gradually sounded, there was deafening cheers!

   Like a mountain whistling a tsunami, it detonated Gunde Arena.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, there is now a professional basketball team from the Cleveland, Ohio, USA, which belongs to the National Basketball Association. It joined the NBA in 1970 and the Cleveland Cavaliers are on the stage!"

"Roar!!!"

"Wow!!!"

"Oh!!!"

  DJ's excitement and excited voice infected everyone present, including fans watching the big screen outside the field.

  Countless hands held high and swayed in the air, and countless posters of Shentong, James and other Cavaliers players covered the entire arena.

   "Let us welcome, the 2.11-meter rookie center Anderson Varejao from Santa Teresa, Brazil!"

  The Brazilian is the first to represent the team.

  Varejao, with an explosive head, raised his right hand, came to the field, and waved to the cheering fans around.

  The applause was the same.

   "Next, let's welcome, the 2.03 meters tall striker, Robert Treler is on the stage!"

   Applause broke out again.

  Treller ran slowly onto the court, and after high-fiving Varejao, he stood on the right side of Varejao, with his hands behind his back, with a confident appearance.

  Along with the introduction of DJ, the Cavaliers only have the starting five but they have not been introduced yet.

  "Let us invite the starting players tonight!"

  Screams, shouts, and whistles resounded across the stadium.

  The atmosphere is warm and terrifying.

  "Height 2.08 meters, he landed in the NBA with the 4th pick in the first round in 2002. Drew, who is the starting power forward-Gooden!"

  In the deafening cheers, Gooden stretched out his hands and slapped his teammates one by one while running, standing to the end of the team.

  Noise decibel: 70%.

"Next, please come from Kaunas, Lithuania, who is 2.21 meters tall. In 1996, he joined the NBA with the 20th overall pick in the first round of 1996. He has all played in Cleveland for his seventh season. Nas-Ilgauskas!"

  The big Z, who is very tall, reached out and placed his hands on his chest to give his teammates a high-five.

  The center from Lithuania has been playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and has long established a relationship with the fans behind him, so he received a very warm cheer.

  Big Z, standing at the end of the team, was a little shy in the face of such violent cheers.

  Such a lively scene is quite rare for Cavaliers players who have been weak in recent years.

  Noise decibel: 100%.

"Let's welcome the 6th pick in the first round of 2002 to join the Cavaliers and have played so far. The talented guard who set a 100-point record in high school, 1.88 meters tall, is the starting point guard Dajuan-Wagnan Nananana!! !"

  As the team’s live treasure and mascot, Wagner’s appearance is quite happy.

   Unlike the teammates who played before, Wagner came out with a bow.

  He and his teammates bent over and gave high fives one by one, but when he got to the big Z, he jumped up and finished a high five in the air with the big Z.

   Needless to say, this contrast of Wagner’s appearance brought joy to the scene, and the air was full of pleasant atmosphere.

   As one of the "Little Big Three", Wagner naturally received the enthusiastic support of the fans.

  Noise decibel: 90%.

  "2003 No. 1 pick, 2003 Rookie of the Year, All-Star player, 2.03 meters tall, starting small forward LeBron-James James!!!”

  The sound is like a shock wave, almost overturning the roof of the stadium.

  James takes the domineering step to debut.

  His right hand and his teammates high-five, and his left hand kept patting his chest. He didn't know what he was saying, but it seemed that he never stopped.

   also jumped up and high-five with Big Z, and then had a chest bump with Wagner, and then raised his hands and pointed his index to the sky, as if to say that the Son of the Chosen is coming.

  Noise decibel: 120%.

  The last player to play is naturally the team’s boss, Cleveland’s trump card, and the most popular player in the NBA.

"At last---"

The drag sound of   DJ has been drowned out by the enthusiastic shouts of the fans on site.

  "Best rookie player, four-time All-Star player, two-time NBA scoring champion, one NBA championship, 2.01 meters tall, serving as a shooting guard, from China's Shen-to-to-to-to-to-to-all!!!"

   "Wow!" Nina Dobrev, who had been sitting very quietly on the sidelines, couldn't hold back anymore, and stood up and screamed loudly for her fiance with her hands folded to her mouth.

  Standing up with Nina at the same time, and the invited brother Alexander, who was able to cheer for his idol and future brother-in-law on the spot, Alexander also raised his voice and cheered for Shentong with his sister.

  Actually, this is the first time the brothers and sisters have acted so consistently on one thing.

  The DJ seemed to say something next, but even after the sound was amplified, it was completely masked by the noise made by the fans.

  Wade even covered his ears.

  O'Neal looked enviously at Shentong, who was loved by everyone in Cleveland, thinking that he didn't get such support when he was in Los Angeles.

  Noise decibel: 200%!

  The Cavaliers team gathered together.

  Shentong stood in the center, and other people surrounded it.

  "The climbing process may be long, but the peak scenery is worth it.

  In a person's heart, when he wants to climb a higher mountain, he won't care about the mud under his feet.

  It is possible for him to use the calmest way to face the unbearable pain of ordinary people.

  Our journey is to the top of the mountains!

  There is no other direction to go except upwards.

   Beat the Heat and enter the finals! "

   "Defeat the Heat and enter the finals!"

"Roar!!!"

  Inspired by Shentong's passion, the Cavaliers players are passionate and motivated!

  No matter who their opponent is now, these young guys seem to be able to tear them to pieces.

  Paul Silas stood by, smiling.

  A few words of mobilization that I had originally thought about before the game, at this moment, I can't make a move at all.

  "Which university did Shentong graduate from? His eloquence is so good." Silas couldn't help asking the teaching assistant team.

   "China, Chinese people, it's normal." Someone reminded.

   "Oh, yes." Silas suddenly realized.

  The starting list of both sides in this game is as follows:

  Miami Heat

  In fact, this is just an Eastern Conference finals.

   But this Eastern Conference brought together strong and popular players such as Shentong, James, O'Neal, Wade, etc., which is naturally very eye-catching.

  The basketball in the hands of the referee at this time: never been followed by so many people
