The Fifth Point Guard

At the beginning of the second quarter, Shentong received a pass from outside and shot directly without adjustment.

At the moment when Shentong cast his vote, Bowen made a bad mood.

Confident expression, soft wrists, elegant posture...

As a defensive expert against opposing ace players, Bowen knows that the probability of hitting the ball is almost impossible.

Turn around now...

really!

"Huh."

The ball passed through the net hollow.

After scoring the goal, Shen Tong touched the red rope on his right wrist with his left hand, smiled and high-five with James, Wagner and others.

"Don't be careless, Bruce!"

Duncan, who was paralyzed but thoughtful, immediately reminded Bowen.

Shentong must not be allowed to fight, this is the league's scoring leader!

The point difference was opened to 4 points.

Ginobili made a snake-like breakthrough to the inside and was disturbed by Shentong's defense. The ball bounced from the front of the basket. Duncan jumped out of the back row and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!

Barkley said: "Look, this is the core player of the team. The Cavaliers' Shentong first made a cold shot from the outside, and then Duncan made a dunk from the basket. This is their best way to score. Now it depends on these two teams. The star who can last longer."

Smith said: "In comparison, Tim's scoring method is closer to the basket, and the scoring efficiency will be higher. If Shentong wants to score with Duncan, then obviously it will have to pay more physical strength and energy."

......

The difference was reduced to 2 points.

The Cavaliers attacked and passed the ball, and the ball was handed over to Shen Tong again.

Barkley said: "The Cavaliers should be patient and look for more opportunities..."

The words were not finished yet, Shentong, who was one step away from the three-point line, directly cast a three-pointer against Bowen!

Smith couldn't help blurting out: "This ball is too anxious."

"Rebound!" Bowen shouted back.

Just now, Shen Tong shot this ball a little anxiously, and his feet are light and his center of gravity is not stable, this ball will not be scored!

Bowen was determined in his heart.

Duncan and Nestorovic quickly got stuck in the penalty area to fight for a favorable position for rebounds.

Big Z and Gooden desperately squeezed in.

Unfortunately, the seam is too small and too tight to squeeze in.

"Huh."

Basketball hollowed through the net.

The expected sound of iron strikes did not appear.

Bowen looked stunned.

When he found his teammates looking at him, Bowen spread his hands and shrugged, as if to say that he didn't expect the goal to be scored.

Looking at Shentong running back, Bowen marveled at how awesome this guy feels.

......

The difference is 5 points.

Parker leaned on Wagner and threw a projectile. James made up the defense in the air and bounced on the floor with a slap.

Gooden grabbed the ball quickly.

Originally, Gooden was going to pass the ball to Wagner, but seeing that Shen Tong took the initiative to ask for the ball, he handed it over to Shen Tong's hands.

Wagner shrank his hand and ran forward as soon as Shentong stretched out his hand for the ball.

This is the treatment of the team boss.

Slowly dribbling the ball across the frontcourt, Bowen stood on defense from outside the three-point line, afraid to be careless.

In the process of dribbling, one step is taken, and the inertia of the dribble is used to directly draw three-pointers.

Bowen didn't expect Shentong to invest further and further.

The ball almost stepped on the edge of the Spurs midfield logo!

Surprised and looking back, Shentong's ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the net!

This time not only Bowen, but the Spurs were stunned, including Popovich on the sidelines.

In fact, not only the Spurs, but even the Cavaliers players were stunned, including Silas on the sidelines.

Even Barkley and Smith who were explaining the game were shocked and speechless.

After a long silence, Barkley said: "With 3 consecutive three-pointers, Shentong's outburst is a bit sudden, and very domineering and unreasonable."

Smith also said: "This is the first time I saw Bruce Bowen's face with this expression. The stunned expression seemed to say, God, who am I defending, and where is it sacred? But I have never defended against such a strong player."

Barkley hurriedly smiled and said: "No, he must have seen it. Recall that at 35 seconds and 13 minutes, Tracy made 4 consecutive three-pointers in front of him, including one 3+1."

......

Shentong's 3 consecutive three-pointers instantly opened the point difference to 8 points.

The Spurs called a timeout.

Before the bench, Popovich's old problem of blowing beard and staring was guilty again.

"What are you guys doing? Are they all walking? Isn't Bruce the only one who can defend? No one knows to come forward to defend?"

Listening to Popovich's loud complaints, Parker and Ginobili both tried to defend themselves.

Shentong's goals were unreasonable direct outside shots. There was no defense at all, and even the next two shots were completely unexpected and unconventional shots.

Under normal circumstances, no one might be able to enter a position unguarded. Who would have thought that he would shoot in that position?

They still use dry jumpers that are too late to defend.

"In any case, let you stick to Shentong, don't give him the opportunity to make a move easily."

After finishing speaking, Popovich also specifically named: "Manu, Tony, you are always ready to double-team and help defense."

"Yes!"

......

After the timeout was over, the Spurs immediately made defensive adjustments after Shentong scored consecutive three-pointers.

The Spurs players have a very strong executive ability. Bowen started to push Shentong from the bottom line of the Cavaliers, and did his best to not give Shentong a chance to catch the ball.

Wagner saw that Shentong was being stared too hard, so he handed the ball to the second master to deal with it.

Because Bowen is defending Shentong, James is facing Ginobili, who is not as good as his own in size and size.

The "human-shaped tank" pushed Ginobili to the basket like a bulldozer, and then hung the Argentinian to make a layup and hit 2+1!

After the goal, James showed his strong biceps.

"The Cavaliers are not only Shentong, but also LeBron James!"

James was a bit manic, but the speech of the Chosen Son caught the Spurs' attention.

Both players of the gentleman combination need to double-team, not to mention when they feel online.

Although James is strong and tall, he can still make a sudden stop and change direction during the breakthrough, and Ginobili, who almost swayed, fell again.

After the emergency stop, the mid-range shot made a steady hit.

James retreated with his right hand raised high.

If it weren't for the game to continue, James was even reluctant to retract the posture of his arm.

......

After Shentong finished playing, it was James' turn.

The Spurs had no choice but to replace Marrick Rose and Ginobili.

Only Rose can cure James.

But the Spurs miscalculated.

James took the initiative to attack with the ball, and when he broke through to the middle of the penalty zone, he was surrounded by four Spurs!

Seeing that the four-man defense was about to form an airtight encirclement, James quickly passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Everyone took a closer look and appeared in this position during the two-minute run of Shentong that "disappeared".

Shen Tong, who received the ball while running, immediately took off and shot in place. Although Bowen struggled to block the ball, he was beyond reach.

"Huh."

Barkley said excitedly: "Wow, the fourth three-pointer! Four consecutive three-pointers!"

Smith went on to say: "It's amazing. Shentong almost took on the outside attack of the team alone!"

The Spurs called a timeout again!

Barkley took a sip of his tea and said with a big smile: "Look at Bobo's stinky face, I'm so ridiculous, someone must be unlucky.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned to the bench, Popovich kept yelling at Bowen.

Bowen's eyes widened, and he kept shaking his head to explain something.

On the Cavaliers' side, James and Wagner returned to the bench with Shentong on the left and right.

Shen Tong, who was treated by the whole team, was framed by the left and right guards to sit down in C position, and some staff quickly delivered drinks and towels.

......

In fact, these four consecutive three-pointers are not the end of Shentong's outside shots.

In the third quarter of the second half, Shen Tong scored 3 three-pointers.

When Shentong faced the defense that Bowen almost sealed his face and still made an incredible shot, Barkley couldn't help but sing praises to Shentong.

"I can only see this kind of goals in Michael, and the most incredible thing about Shentong is that these very wonderful goals of his are all three-pointers from outside. This is something that Michael has never done, and Since the second quarter, Shentong has hit 7 consecutive three-pointers."

Insert a sentence, [\\mi\\mi\\read\\app\\\\] It’s really good, it’s worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Smith also said with emotion: "It's unbelievable. He is facing the best wing defensive player in the league, Bruce Bowen. According to data, Shentong has hit 7 consecutive three-pointers in the playoffs and has tied Robert- Horry once set a record for the most consecutive three-pointers in a single playoff game. It was on May 6, 1997, in the second game of the Western Conference semifinals. Robert played in a single game against the Utah Jazz. The game made 7 consecutive three-pointers! Now, Shentong has a chance to make history!"

In the fourth quarter, Shentong finally got the opportunity to shoot outside.

That was when James broke through and the Spurs formed a double team, Shentong used Gooden's screen to run without the ball, and after receiving Wagner's pass, he resolutely threw the ball to the basket.

All eyes are on the spinning ball in the air.

Under the eyes of everyone, in the exclamation of Barkley's mouth wide enough to swallow a few golf balls, Shentong hit the eighth consecutive three-pointer!

After Shentong hit the ball, the Cavaliers have led the Spurs by 15 points!

"The eighth three-pointer! The eighth three-pointer! The eighth three-pointer! Shentong made history, he made history! Don't give the Spurs any chance! The great Cleveland shooting guard, he continued The tradition of the **** of basketball, Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan, Jerry West, and George Gervin are possessed by their souls at this moment. He represents Cleveland’s desire for victory and championships. At this moment, he He is not alone in fighting, he is not alone!"

Smith: "...Hello, Charles, are you a little too excited."

......

Shentong, who made history, did not continue the record, but used his own restraint to start making wedding clothes for his teammates.

James, Miller, Wagner and others are all targets of Shentong's cakes.

With 3 minutes left before the game, Popovich waved his helpless hand and the Spurs replaced all their main players and gave up resistance ahead of time.

Because the point difference at the moment is a full 21 points.

This big defeat with a score difference of 20+ is a huge shame for the Spurs at home.

The scene of the Spurs bench was shown on the big screen at the scene.

Duncan lowered his head, his eyes were empty, and there was a hint of redness in his eyes.

Ginobili and Parker were expressionless, looking at games on the court that seemed unrelated to them.

Bowen frowned and looked sad.

After the Spurs raised the white flag, the Cavaliers also replaced all the main players.

When Shentong came off the court, the Spurs' SBC home court was sporadic applause.

This is not easy for a team playing away.

The final whistle sounded and the score was fixed at 109-87.

The Cavaliers lost the second game and regained home advantage after the third game.

The big score is rewritten as 2-1.

Shentong started the scoring runaway mode in this game, shooting 7 of 11 two-pointers, 8 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, slashing 44 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

James also performed well, contributing 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a triple-double.

Wagner had 14 points, 6 assists and 4 steals, and Miller had 12 points.

Duncan remained stable, scoring 24 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

Ginobili had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Parker had 16 points and 8 assists.

......

At the press conference after the game, Shentong finally returned all the words "gifted" to them by the Spurs in the previous game.

"I said that we have to talk with the ball on the court. We did it. We beat them up here. I don't know if they were shot or not, but we won a big victory."

Seeing the dissatisfaction of the media reporters in San Antonio, Cavaliers coach Paul Silas came out and rounded the court: "When the game is over, we will forget about it and prepare for the next game. This is a series. We are only 2-1. Leading is not winning. It is 7 games and 4 wins. Now only 3 games have been played. Everything is still too early. We will not spend too much energy on discussing this game, but we will seriously prepare for the next game. "

......

Two days later, the Spurs played another game at the SBC Arena.

With a controversial penalty ~www.ltnovel.com~ the Spurs defeated the Cavaliers 100-96 at home and tied the big score 2-2.

In Barkley's words, that penalty directly ruined the Cavaliers' good situation.

At that time, the two sides battled to a 86 tie.

The Spurs have the ball right.

Duncan missed a shot, Nesterovic had an offensive rebound, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

At this moment, there are less than 10 seconds. If the ball is exchanged, the Cavaliers are likely to hit a lore and take the victory directly.

But at the moment when the ball was about to fall off the court, Ginobili ran out from the baseline, and with his feet out of bounds, he pushed the ball back to the court with his hands.

The ball happened to be transferred to Duncan's hands. In the dumbfoundedness of the Cavaliers players, Duncan cunningly threw the ball into the basket first.

Although the Cavaliers immediately complained to the referee that Ginobili was out of bounds when he saved the ball, so it was an out-of-bounds goal. Duncan's goal was not counted, and the ball should be given to the Cavaliers, but the referee did not Ignored.

This ball directly affected the tactical arrangement of the Cavaliers.

After Ginobili saved the ball and Duncan made a shot, he only left the Cavaliers with 3.8 seconds of offensive time.

Shen Tong rushed out of the basket and could only foul Duncan.

Duncan made two steady free throws and the Spurs narrowly won by 4 points.

......

Although the away score of 1 win and 1 loss was enough to satisfy the Cleveland fans, the loss of the fourth game was so useless that the Cavaliers players breathed a sigh of relief.

Paul Silas even said without fear: "It seems that the league wants to play a few more games in this series."

June 20, 2005.

The high-profile battle of Tianwang Mountain is about to start at Gund Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
