The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 212 Adversity (Part 1)

One side is a big shark.

On one side is the Chinese Small Steel Cannon.

For a moment, all eyes were on this duel.

Facing O'Neill, Shen Tong jumped up after taking a solid step.

O'Neill shouted: "You are courting death!"

The steel cannon hit the thick iron wall, and no one retreated, so they could only be tough.

Shentong grabbed the ball with his big right hand, held the ball behind his head, and tried his best to slam dunk.

But O'Neill's hands are bigger!

One slap was enough to cover Shen Tong's entire face.

Of course, O'Neal's block was aimed at the ball.

Shen Tong did not expect that O'Neal's huge body could jump so high.

"Hey, this ball is going to be over!" Barkley yelled, "O'Neal is going to send hot pot."

Just at the very moment, Shen Tong, who was flying in the air, suddenly changed his movements, retracted his whole body, and slid past O'Neill's armpit.

Holding his breath, after passing through O'Neal's armpit, Shen Tong leaped laterally to the other side of the basket, holding the ball in his left hand, and using an almost extremely difficult movement, he backhanded the ball to the basket.

Almost as soon as the ball was released, Shen Tong's feet landed on the ground.

With inertia, Shentong rolled forward directly, lost the momentum, and then immediately looked back at the basket.

The ball circled the inside of the basket several times, and finally fell into the basket under the anxious eyes of the fans!

"Oh! He did it. This ball is definitely the best goal of the day. It's too difficult!" Smith yelled.

"That's right." Barkley said, "This suspension, this waist, and this feel are almost exactly the same as when I was playing!"

Smith: "Honestly, Charles, I don't know why your nose never grows."

Barkley: "... I'm a guy who always tells the truth."

Passing Kobe, and then facing O'Neal, scored a layup with an incredible gliding method. Shentong's goal made many female fans at the scene love.

Anne Hathaway even jumped up from the chair without any scruples, clapping vigorously for Shen Tong who was sitting on the ground.

Even when Shen Tong ran past Hathaway, she stretched out her hand.

Shen Tong subconsciously passed by with high fives.

This has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, at the moment they are all comrades in arms cheering for the Nets!

After high-fiving Shen Tong, Hathaway sat excitedly on a chair, looked at the left hand that had just high-fived Shen Tong, and then talked with the female companions who came together on both sides, and then the three of them laughed heartily.

Shen Tong's wonderful goal made everyone come out of the shadow of a lagging start and low morale.

The sound of cheering and shouting came back again.

And wave after wave.

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The voices came and went.

The Nets withstood the Lakers' fierce start and began to get back on track.

This goal made Nets coach Byron Scott and team boss Jason Kidd realize the importance of Shentong at the same time.

He is already a super star who can change the trend of the game and affect the emotions of the players!

However, the OK combination played really well in this game.

O'Neal continued his performance like a giant inside, scoring 24 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in the first half.

As for Kobe, he was a different person from the previous game.

In the first finals, Kobe made only 10 of 28 shots in the game, but in this game, Kobe made 7 of 11 shots in the first half, which was very efficient.

In addition to offense, Kobe also deliberately increased the connection with O'Neal, sending 5 assists in two quarters.

At halftime, the Lakers built a 12-point lead.

In the second half, with the encouragement of the fans, the Nets chased forward bravely and once narrowed the point difference between the two teams to 5 points, but then they were attacked by the OK combination of the Lakers 7-0.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Nets 108-95 away and tied the score at 1-1.

O'Neal blasted 40 points, 17 rebounds and 6 blocks. He almost got what he wanted inside the Nets. He was the biggest contributor to the Lakers' victory.

Kobe Bryant also performed well. Changing the decline of the first game, he made 12 of 22 shots, including 2 three-pointers and free throws. He scored a total of 26 points, and also contributed 6 rebounds and 9 assists.

The OK combination took 60% of the Lakers' scoring and almost defeated the Nets with the power of two people.

Shentong also performed well, making 11 of 20 shots. However, the three-pointers in this game were no longer as brave as the previous game. They only made 1 of 4 shots. The Lakers' defense gave Shentong a strong sense of oppression.

Except for Kobe, Fox and George have taken turns to defend Shentong, and they are all offensive close defenses, which just don't let you catch the ball comfortably, shoot comfortably, or even give you a chance to run comfortably.

Shentong fully enjoyed the treatment when the boss of the playoff team was defended.

Kidd's performance is still stable, with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. The assists are slightly less, but it is too difficult to fly around the inside of the Lakers to complete the lob.

After being won by the Lakers at home, the Nets lost two games in a row in the next away game. They fell behind by a big score of 1-3 and were in a very unfavorable situation.

It turned out that the experts who had been severely slapped in the face after the first game were revived on the spot, and began to clamor for a big score of 4-1.

"4-1 and 4-0 are actually the same, you win a game because they just took a nap."

"How can the Nets compete with the Lakers? The Lakers have an OK combination. What about the Nets? Keeson Kidd? He's just an ordinary All-Star point guard. He can't affect the outcome of the entire series, you say Shentong and Mark Lodge against the OK combination? The Shenma combination? Don’t be funny, man.”

"I said earlier that the Nets are not good enough. In the next 10 years, the league will be dominated by Western teams. The east and west are already completely out of balance. I have expressed my opinion a long time ago that the league should not be divided according to the east and west. "

The New Jersey Nets, which had been touted by the American media after the first game, could only question and ridicule at this moment, and under tremendous pressure, opened the fifth finals in Los Angeles.

According to the schedule of the NBA Finals, the home and away game system adopted in the 7 games is 2-3-2. The team with the dominant record in the regular season will play 2 home games, then 3 away games, and then return to the home game to play 2 games.

The current fifth game also means that it is the last game at home for the Lakers.

The Lakers said that in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they will end the entire series after this game and present this season's NBA championship to the home fans!

Before the game, Byron Scott asked all the players to let go of their thoughts and try their best to fight hard without caring about the result.

Although so far, there has never been a 1-3 reversal in the NBA Finals to win the championship, but the people of New Jersey still have a little hope.

However, their hopes were all but dashed when the third quarter of Game 5 ended.

70-91, after only three quarters, the Lakers have led by 21 points!

Everyone felt that the outcome was decided.

Including the Lakers at home.
