The Fifth Point Guard

After the first quarter, the Nets temporarily led by 2 points 27-25.

The score between the two sides was very tight. Although the Nets added Mutombo, an inside defensive champion, O'Neal still killed the Quartet, fully demonstrating his inside dominance.

The confrontation between Shentong and Kobe formed a situation that almost exploded with each other, but Shentong had more shots, and the Lakers had to divide the ball between O'Neal and Kobe, so Kobe had relatively few scoring opportunities. In some matchups, Kobe's scoring efficiency remained good.

In the second quarter, there was a very exciting offensive and defensive scene on the field.

First, Shentong attacked and Kobe defended.

Facing the fiery Shentong in this game, Kobe also used a close-fitting defensive strategy.

Kidd passed the ball to Shentong, and Shentong turned his back to Kobe after receiving the ball, swinging his body from side to side, making the opponent wonder which direction he was going to break through.

But then, Shen Tong turned around and made a fadeaway jumper.

This backlash was quite large, and it was closely connected with the fake turn just now, shaking Kobe's center of gravity away, making Kobe kneel on one knee and propping his right hand on the floor.

And Shentong raised his feet high and hit this wonderful fadeaway jumper steadily.

The Continental Airlines Arena immediately exploded!

Jefferson immediately rushed forward and bumped Shen Tong's chest to celebrate.

Kidd and Martin staged a double touch head kill.

Even Uncle Mu said "strike" to Shen Tong in a hoarse voice.

The Nets' bench.

Rodney Rogers rolled on the ground in excitement. He had never seen such a scene in the Knicks these years.

Jason Collins and Brandon Armstrong hooked their shoulders and cheered for Shentong's wonderful performance.

Rookie Temar Slee made the most of the towel dance.

"Victory Cigar" Brian Scalabrian stretched out his long arms to stop the excited crowd behind him, preventing any players from crossing the line and entering the field.

"Oh, my God, look what Shin did, he knocked Kobe down, you see, if he hadn't put his hands on the floor, I'm afraid he would have fallen straight to the ground with this ball." Charles Barkley loudly screamed.

"Hahaha." Kenny Smith laughed and said, "Kobe's defense is really embarrassing. Needless to say, this shot will definitely rank among the five best shots of the day."

Kneeling on one knee and watching Shentong throw the ball, O'Neill's "good defense" taunt was still ringing in his ears. Looking at Shentong who was congratulated by his teammates, Kobe was angry!

Thunder is furious!

next round.

O'Neal and Kobe want the ball at the same time.

Fisher looked at Madsen and Fox, both of them were hiding in the two bottom corners at the moment, and they didn't even look at Fisher standing on the top of the circle.

Can't get rid of this pot!

Just as Fisher was in a dilemma, Kobe spoke.

"Give me the damn ball!"

Having said all of this, what else can Fisher do.

Better to mess with Ao Pang than Kobe.

Although O'Neal is very domineering in playing, he is actually quite kind to people in private.

But Kobe is not only strict with himself, he is also strict with others, and even some things are a little more serious.

If these two people have to offend one person, Fisher certainly doesn't want it to be Kobe.

After Kobe took the ball, he dribbled twice on the spot, and then directly used his speed to charge inside.

Kobe's offensive attitude was very resolute, almost gnashing his teeth and rushing into the basket.

Although Shentong defended the ball with all his strength, he was still passed by Kobe.

Facing Mutombo's supplementary defense, Kobe jumped high when there was still a certain distance, and dunked the ball with both hands towards the basket!

Uncle Mu had no time to block the shot, so he could only stand under the basket and stare blankly.

"Boom"

Kobe Bryant dunks the ball with both hands!

After the goal, Kobe seemed to be still angry, and he slapped the backboard twice with one hand before getting off the basket.

"Drip"

The referee immediately whistled Kobe a technical foul.

In the live broadcast room, when Kobe passed Shentong and succeeded in dunking, Barkley leaned back in surprise and almost knocked over his chair.

Smith was still a little calmer, but opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"The ball was too domineering, and Kobe responded immediately." Barkley shouted loudly, "Among the young perimeter scorers I'm optimistic about in the league, Kobe and Shen can both be included in my first team. Next, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady, of course, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce can also be regarded as the first team."

"This is a very high evaluation for Shen. After all, he is only a sophomore, but if you choose the best among them, who would you choose?" Smith dug holes for Barkley everywhere.

"Well," Barkley thought for a while, and said, "I will still choose Kobe, after all, he has three championship rings, and I think he will have more in the future."

"What about Shin?" Smith asked.

"Shin is not bad either. He reached the NBA Finals in his rookie season and performed very well, but he has no other achievements except the best rookie. The others are already regulars in the league's scoring list. And Allen Iverson brought the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals on his own the previous season, Shen Tong still has Jason Kidd by his side after all," Barkley replied.

Looking at Kobe's stern eyes, coupled with his feelings during the defense just now, Shen Tong realized how terrifying Kobe was when he was furious and went all out.

But that's where it gets interesting.

After the first half, the two sides fought to a tie, 57-57.

On the Lakers side, O'Neal and Kobe took turns to bomb the Nets' basket. Basically, you have one ball, I have one ball, you have one ball, I have one ball, he has one ball, and the cycle goes on and on.

O'Neal and Kobe's super singles ability made Mutombo and Shentong a little helpless.

Although Shen Tong is wearing a broken Tathagata ring, Kobe's shooting timing is too difficult to grasp, and it is easy to be overwhelmed, and most of Kobe's shots are with a backward, even if the blocking ability is greatly improved, it is useless.

However, Shen Tong knew that the opportunity for himself and the Nets in the second half was coming.

Because at this moment, the energy of the 5 rounds of spirit pills in Guiling Finger Cot have all been gathered!

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers continued their regular style of play, giving the ball to O'Neal inside first.

Facing Dikembe Mutombo, O'Neal, who is clearly superior in weight, has already made his experience.

After pushing Uncle Mu's slender body away with his fat butt, O'Neal took advantage of Uncle Mu's loss of center of gravity and seized the opportunity to throw the ball to the basket.

Just then, a figure appeared from behind Mutombo.

"Snapped"

Slap the ball out of the penalty area!

Shentong is here!

Since you can't cover Kobe, then cover O'Neal who is attacking under the basket.
