The Fifth Point Guard

"Hey, David, I signed an equity agreement with Facebook last night, but it was only verbal. I hope you can connect with the other party and get the paper agreement down as soon as possible."

"What? What facebook?" Falcao, who received the call early in the morning, was still a little confused and couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

"I don't have much time to explain. It is a technology company that I am very optimistic about. It has the potential to grow into a unicorn company."

Hearing the words of the application, the microphone laughed loudly.

"Shen, are you serious? Are you sure that the equity you bought is not Intel or Amazon?"

"David, I'm not kidding. I want to connect as soon as possible. I bought 5% of their shares. Their founder is Mark Zuckerberg."

Hearing Zuckerberg's name, Falcao seemed a little impressed.

"Okay, so...how much did you spend on this 5% equity?"

"US$250,000." Shen Tong said calmly.

"What? Are you crazy? Invest in such a so-called technology company that I haven't even heard of? Do you know how many entrepreneurial technology companies of this type go bankrupt every year? I think your money is in vain."

"David, I am very confident."

...

After hanging up the call to Falcao, Shen Tong thought about it and dialed a second call.

"Hey, Jessica, it's Christmas, I don't know you..."

"Shen, we have a family gathering tonight, so if you want to have a meeting with me, you have to make another day."

"Um... well, happy party."

"Oh, yes, even if you ask me, I have to think about it. After all, you rejected me last night."

"..."

Shen Tong wants to say, it's not that I don't want to, but that I have really agreed to Avril Lavigne in advance.

Well, in fact, Shentong has some good feelings about Alba.

...

Shen Tong got up from the sofa and opened the curtains.

The bright sunshine fell on the bed through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Today is another beautiful day!

Most of the teams are on vacation today, only two Christmas games will be staged.

One is the Pistons and the Pacers, and the other is the Heat and the Lakers.

To say that the league is really afraid that the holiday atmosphere of Christmas is not enough, the opponents in the two matches are full of anger.

Before the start of the game, the four teams began to attack their opponents in the air.

The Pistons and the Pacers are relatively constrained. After all, the two teams have had previous convictions before, so the talk is limited to the game itself.

Billups said before the game: "We will teach them how to play."

And Tinsley of the Pacers responded stiffly: "Only a man can win the final victory!"

Tinsley is using this sentence to complain about O'Neal, Artest and others, and at the same time mocking the Pistons players are not real men.

Of course, the most watched game of this day is the Heat and the Lakers.

Before the game, O'Neal had warned Kobe in advance: "The penalty area is my place, you should be careful."

Bryant responded to the media: "Lamborghini will drive anywhere."

O'Neill immediately warned: "Then he will hit a wall."

...

Shentong took a brief wash, went to the kitchen to make two fried eggs and toast, added a little peanut butter, soaked in a cup of hot pure milk, then sat in the living room of Nuo University and turned on the sports channel.

What is being broadcast live on TV is the Los Angeles Lakers' home game against the Miami Heat.

At this time the game just started.

The TNT commentator partner Barkley and Smith who are in charge of the live broadcast are discussing a suspense.

That's whether Kobe and O'Neal will hug and salute before the game.

Barkley thinks no. He thinks that the contradiction between the two of them is not as simple as it seems to the outside world. The personalities of the two determine that this possibility is almost zero.

Smith thinks so, because they have had a very good time after all, and they have won three consecutive championships together. Embracing each other is a respect for each other, even if they have separated.

After the players from both sides played before the game, O'Neal stood near the center circle and talked with the Lakers.

Kobe quietly took the initiative to run from the side, raised his fist and touched O'Neal.

But he ran away with just a touch, and didn't linger for a second.

O'Neal seems too late to get ready to embrace Kobe.

The two nodded symbolically, and they turned back to back without even meeting each other's eyes, let alone hugging.

Barkley said, "That's it? That's it? Charles, I said you couldn't see it."

Smith raised his hand and said, "Well, you won."

...

For this Christmas battle, Shentong is also very much looking forward to it.

Although Shentong had already witnessed this game last time and space, it is a suspense whether what happened in this time and space will change.

After the opening, Kobe first challenged O'Neal, but his first offense was blocked by O'Neal.

On the offensive end, O'Neal immediately received the ball and succeeded in singles.

But Kobe is not a vegetarian, and immediately scored with a large backward jumper.

The two got better at the beginning of the game.

Although O'Neal once said that Kobe's sports car could not hit his wall, but in the one-on-one process on the court, O'Neal did not make any aggressive moves. Instead, he repeatedly fouled Kobe because of his slow reaction.

In the final stage of the fourth quarter, O'Neal first fouled Kobe on the right side of his own basket and led the fifth foul, and then made a successful offensive dunk to tie the score to 90.

Then on the defensive end, O'Neal pushed Kobe, who jumped for a layup, on the left side of the basket, and he lost his sixth foul.

Although he was unwilling, but he could only helplessly leave the court with two and a half minutes before the game.

The Lakers had a climax at the end of the game.

Without O'Neal, the Heat's inside line can be said to be a walk in the air for Kobe.

With O'Neal scored 8 points in 2 and a half minutes after leaving the field, the Lakers defeated the Heat 105-102 and won at home!

This result is different from the last time and space of Shentong.

In the last time and space, the Lakers lost to the Heat 102-104.

but...

Last time, Kobe did not train in Shentong's training camp during the offseason.

...

After the game, O'Neal spat bitterly to the media at the press conference.

"No layup, no dunk."

O'Neal talked about his thoughts and feelings in the game.

When a reporter asked if his sixth personal foul was against Kobe, O’Neal replied without hesitation: “Of course, definitely against him, but in fact, as long as anyone breaks into the penalty area on the defensive end, I will target , It’s just that he happened to be the subject of the foul, but I did forget that I had fouled five times."

"But..." O'Neal turned and said, "I came here to play just to bring the team a victory. I won't do anything crazy or personal. Everything I do on the court, All to win a victory, nothing more."

The winning Kobe is obviously in a good mood.

When faced with reporters’ doubts about O’Neal’s sixth foul, Kobe replied: “I don’t think he will play a black hand in the game. I know there are many sayings about hitting the wall. But I think it’s just for the game It's just hype. In the end, Shaq just came to play a game of basketball. That's what he did. We treated the fans who watched the game today with a wonderful game."

This game was hyped by the media as O'Neal's revenge battle, but apparently, O'Neal did not succeed in revenge in the end.

He scored 24 points and 11 rebounds on 11 of 19 shots. It looks good, but with 4 turnovers and 6 fouls, it seems that the Sharks are a bit old-fashioned.

Kobe declared the authority of the Los Angeles master with 41 points and victory.

But even though the Heat lost, O'Neal is still the most dominant center in the league.

He once slapped "White Shark" Chris Mihm and staggered to the ground with a scream.

As a "third party", Wade also accepted an interview after the game.

He performed well in this game, scoring 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, but let the opposing Kobe score 41 points.

When facing the media, Wade said: “Today is the same as all the games we played before. We each support each other on the court. After Shaq is off, we still have to move forward. Even though we lost in the end, This is a great game. In the end, I want to say that Kobe's form is really good, even better than his performance at training camp."

...

Although O'Neal was very dissatisfied with the role of the referee in the game, he still did not forget to thank the fans in Los Angeles.

Before the game, Staples' big screen played a highlight of O'Neal's campaign for the Lakers. All the Lakers fans on the scene stood up and applauded for O'Neal for nearly 40 seconds.

O'Neal heard these applauses, and Kobe was standing in front of the Lakers' bench, applauding from beginning to end.

O'Neal sincerely thanked the fans at the scene after the game.

"They are really good, I love them."

...

The Lakers defeated the Heat, and Kobe won the first game between him and O'Neal.

Shen Tong turned off the TV and looked up at the time. It was already 12 noon.

Scratching his forehead, Shen Tong called Sister Hua's phone.

"Hey, mom..."

"Who should you bring back?"

"I mean, if..."

"No if! I'm preparing dinner, don't bother me, either two people come, or don't come back!"

"Snapped."

Sister Hua hung up the phone again.

Shentong looked at the phone blankly.

Damn, just find one if it's a big deal!

Shen Tong thought for a while and dialed Anne Hathaway's phone.

"The call you dialed is turned off."

STO:"..."

...

There is no time left, and Shentong has to take a two-hour flight back to Arizona.

Finally, Shen Tong reluctantly dialed Nina Dobrev's phone.

After all, this guy owes himself a favor.

Shen Tong couldn't help feeling a little depressed when the phone was not connected.

I don't want you in normal times, just come in one by one.

You are needed at critical moments, and no one can be found one by one.

The phone went through.

"Hey, Shen, why did you find me so soon? Brother, go away, don't listen to my call!"

"Um...it's a bit embarrassing, but I did have a little trouble."

"Let's say, if there is anything I can help, I will definitely help."

Shentong told Dubrov about the family dinner.

I thought that the other party would refuse, but who knew that Dubrov would agree without thinking.

"Oh, really? Then I'll pick you up in half an hour, and I will fly to Arizona soon."

"okay, I will wait for you."

Half an hour later, Nina Dobrev was almost pushed out by her family.

After waving enthusiastically with the Dubrov family, Shentong drove his Porsche sports car with Dubrov to Cleveland Airport.

On the way, Shentong also explained to Dubrov deliberately: "In fact, there is no special meaning, that is, my mother who admits to death. Once the decision is made, it is difficult to change, so I must take a female partner back today, do you understand? ?"

Dubrov nodded and said, "I understand."

"As long as you understand."

...

Parked the car in the VIP parking lot of the airport.

Shentong and Dubrov entered the VIP channel.

Shentong purchased first class.

In fact, if it weren't for taking Dubrov, Shentong is usually very casual, and there is no difference between economy class and business class for Shentong.

But because Shentong’s identity is more sensitive, he does not want the media to pay attention to his taking Dubrov home.

But what he didn't know was that he actually participated in the Christmas Eve party at the Cleveland Conservatory of Music as Nina Dobrev's male companion, which had already been one of the front pages of newspapers and websites.

Another front page, naturally, is the game between the Lakers and the Heat, and the grievances between Kobe and O'Neal.

...

The 2-hour flight ~www.ltnovel.com~ but the whole process was almost 4 hours.

After landing, I drove for another 20 minutes and finally arrived at Shentong’s home in Arizona in the evening.

"Boom boom boom."

Sister Hua just brought the last cold dish to the table, and quickly called Lao Shen to open the door.

Shen Qing glanced over, and Li Sixuan, who had become Shen Qing's official boyfriend, quickly bounced off the sofa and almost ran to open the door.

"Surprise!"

Shentong and Dubrov raised their Christmas gifts at the same time.

But to Shentong's surprise, it was a completely strange man who opened the door.

It looks a little quiet and fat.

"Isn't this Lao Shen's house?"

Li Sixuan quickly replied: "Ah, it's my brother-in-law...No, it's Shentong, come in quickly."

Li Sixuan took the large and small gifts in his hand, and Shen Tong walked into the room with a puzzled expression.

Meet the stern sister Hua head on.

"Smelly boy, why are you here!"

"I am not..."

Before she finished speaking, Sister Hua saw Nina Dobrev who followed up.

Then, she swept her arm, let Shen Tong flash aside, walked quickly to Dubrov, and said with a smile: "Oh, who is this girl, how is she so handsome, is it cold outside, are you hungry? , Come in quickly, and the food will be ready soon."

STO:"..."

"Why are you still stunned, why don't you go to the kitchen to serve food!"

"okay."

As soon as he put the gifts away, Li Sixuan hurriedly walked to the kitchen in response to calling Hua Jie.

"Xiao Li, I didn't mean you. Son, go to the kitchen and help!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Shen Tong and Li Sixuan smiled at each other and plunged into the kitchen at the same time.

In the kitchen, Lao Shen is serving dishes.
