The Fifth Point Guard

Amid boisterous cheers, the ten starters took to the field.

The Nets here.

Mutombo, Martin, Jefferson, Shentong, Kidd, regular five tigers.

Wizards here.

Kwame Brown was finally promoted to the starting center. Of course, this was mainly because the competitive Jordan broke his promise and squeezed into the starting lineup, so Brown was able to be promoted to the starting five. Brown in this time and space is much better than Shen Tong in the last time and space. He averaged 10.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in his rookie season, and he only completed it in about 20 minutes. In the first game of the new season, in the face of the Miami Heat without Alonzo Mourning, Brown slammed all directions, crazily grabbed a large double-double with 21 points and 17 rebounds, which made people believe in Jordan's vision is correct.

Christian Laettner is the starting four of the Wizards. His mobility allows him to switch positions with Brown at any time, which enriches the team's inside offense. At the same time, Laettner's offense is biased towards outside shooting, although The shooting range is not as far outside the three-point line, but the long-distance large two-point range can still open up the space on the court, which is convenient for Jordan and Stackhouse to use breakthroughs to attack the opponent's inside line.

The starting small forward is Jerry Stackhouse, who is at the peak of his career. When recruiting Stackhouse, Jordan personally promised that as long as he assists him well this season, when he retires, The Wizards were handed over to him and let him continue to lead the team forward as the boss of the team.

The choice of shooting guard is undisputed, chewing gum and playing Michael Jordan who vowed to make the playoffs this season.

The starting point guard is Larry Hughes. Under Jordan's attention, Hughes practiced three-pointers crazily this summer. In the first five seasons of his career, Hughes's highest three-point shooting percentage in one season was only 24.3%, but after hard training, three-pointers have become a regular weapon for Hughes. Just hit 4 three-pointers.

Brown, Laettner, Stackhouse, Jordan, Hughes.

The Wizards' starting lineup is pretty threatening.

TNT is responsible for the live broadcast of the game.

Still a familiar partner, still a familiar taste.

"Charles, what do you think of this game, Shen vs. Michael, who do you think will win?" Smith habitually dug a hole for Barkley before the game, and this trick has been tried and tested.

Barkley took a sip of tea and said, "Well, let's watch the game first."

Smith was stunned, and said, "Charles, I haven't seen you for a summer, and I'm a lot smarter."

Barkley showed a mysterious smile and said, "That is, since drinking the tea from China, I don't get angry anymore, the moisture is less, and even my mind is much more flexible!"

Smith stretched his head to look at the green tea in Buckley's hand, and said, "Is this Chinese tea? It is said that many countries traveled across the ocean to trade this kind of thing. In Europe, there was a long period of time , only nobles can drink tea."

After hearing Smith's words, Barkley's expression became a little more arrogant.

"By the way, what kind of tea is this?"

"Oh, this is the latest tea picked, referred to as 'new tea'."

On the court, Brown grabbed the first offense for the Wizards.

Hughes holds the ball from the outside and observes the positions of his teammates.

Jordan ran to the edge of the small penalty area, stuck Shen Tong who was behind the defense with his left hand, and opened his right hand for the ball.

No one dared to ignore Jordan's request for the ball. Hughes immediately handed the ball to Jordan, and ran to the other side wisely, taking away Kidd who was defending him, making room for Jordan's singles.

"I didn't expect it. For the first attack, the Wizards will open the ball and give it to Michael for a single. Let's see how Shentong will defend the ball." Smith explained.

Jordan held the ball in one hand, turned around, started suddenly, took a step with his right foot, made a fake attack to the inside, then pulled back, pulled the ball back, and at the same time retreated with his steps.

Shen Tong's body had just turned with Jordan's movements, and before he had time to adjust his center of gravity, Jordan had already jumped up and shot on the spot after finishing the movements.

Shen Tong's block was a bit late and failed to stop Jordan's shot.

The standard Jordan mid-range, steady hit.

The Nets didn't even move.

After scoring the goal, Jordan grinned and said, "Young man, you can't guard against me."

"Really, just wait and see." Shen Tong would not admit defeat verbally.

After the two sides exchanged the field, Shen Tong also came to the edge of the small penalty area, stuck Jordan, who was defending him, with his right hand, and stretched out his left hand for the ball.

Kidd smiled slightly.

This kind of strong competitive spirit is very similar to players like Jordan and Kobe.

After handing the ball to Shentong, Kidd also took Hughes to the other side, giving Shentong enough face.

This is proper boss treatment.

"Hey, this game has just started, and the two will be on the bar. This game is interesting." Barkley explained, "From the first offense of both sides, it can be seen that Shen and Michael's desire to attack in this game All very strong!"

Shen Tong dribbled the ball with his left hand, began to support Jordan with his right shoulder, and tentatively punched in.

Although Jordan is old, his physical fitness is there after all, and his strength and confrontation are not inferior to the first-line stars in the league.

Shen Tong didn't attack hard either. After his right arm collided violently with Jordan's chest, he turned around and made a jumper with his back and back!

Fadeaway jumper.

In front of Jordan.

This is exactly like Guan Gong playing a big knife in front of Lu Ban's door.

This kind of shooting technique, Jordan couldn't be more familiar with it.

When Shentong made the first movement of the impact, Jordan had already predicted that Shentong was going to shoot backwards.

Experience plays an important role here.

Just as Shen Tong turned around and leaned back, Jordan had already taken off to block the shot.

The big hands connected by Jordan's long arms almost covered Shen Tong's face.

However.

Shen Tong raised his right arm high, avoided the opponent's block, and threw the ball almost close to Jordan's finger.

A very tall parabola.

But very precise.

The ball streaks a beautiful rainbow line through the air and falls into the hoop!

At the beginning of the game, Shentong and Jordan each scored a goal under the opponent's defense.

Seeing that his defense was fully in place, Shen Tong still made the ball, and Jordan couldn't help but praise "good shot".

"That's what you taught me." Shen Tong laughed.

Seeing Jordan's frown, Shen Tong raised his arm to indicate Jordan's scene at that time.

At this time, Jordan suddenly remembered that before the All-Star Game last season, in order to thank Shentong for giving him the starting position, he had personally instructed Shentong to shoot backwards. Raises the shooting arm high, throws the ball over the block, and throws a high parabola.

Unexpectedly, this guy not only remembered, but also did a very good job!

That's where it gets interesting.

"Shin, let's compete in this match!"

"That's exactly what I mean!"

While speaking, Shen Tong's right index finger began to emit a faint blue light
