The Fifth Point Guard

Chapter 260 The King of Balls (Part 1)

Due to the Mavericks game on the second night, Scott deliberately arranged for all to rest today, and then went to the arena to warm up at 3 pm.

But for some reason, Shen Tong couldn't sleep in the early morning.

Ever since he became the idol of filming commercials, appearing on the screen, and fans, Shentong can feel the pressure on his shoulders.

Getting up from the bed, he glanced at the time.

4 o'clock in the morning.

It was still early, but Shen Tong, who was lying on the bed again, could no longer fall asleep.

Simply, Shen Tong got up from the bed.

Ten minutes later, Shen Tong was fully dressed, opened the door, carried a sports backpack, and ran to a basketball court not far from the apartment.

Some idols gradually sink in the drunkenness of gold fans, and only walk out of the nightclub gate at 4 o'clock in the morning, and there may be one or two beauties in their arms.

Some idols always remind themselves and spur themselves, get up at 4 a.m. for training, and greet the second teammate who comes to training when they are sweating profusely.

At the end of the year, New Jersey was a bit cold just like in China.

But for a player like Shen Tong who exercises regularly and is covered in tendons, this coldness has no effect on him at all.

After trotting all the way to the stadium, my body happened to be a little hot, so I took it as a warm-up.

It was still only daylight.

I heard that at 4 o'clock in the morning, it is the time when groups of angels fly from the sky to the Milky Way.

However, Shen Tong looked up at the sky, only a few stars were still shining faintly.

In the evening, we will face the Dallas Mavericks. This team can be regarded as a powerful team in the West, and it will be a tough battle.

And there is also Chinese player Wang Zhizhi on the team.

Under the current circumstances, any game with a Chinese Derby must have a massive audience rating.

It is inevitable that the night's game will attract people's attention.

Before new advertisements and new sneakers are about to be launched, Shentong naturally wants to win these more important and eye-catching games and accumulate more popularity for itself.

When shooting a new advertisement for Adidas, David Falcao told Shentong that several international brands have contacted him and wanted Shentong to be their spokesperson.

Shentong told Falcao that he has a choice in brand endorsement, and that it must be in line with his identity and temperament, and he would rather be short than excessive.

Falcao reassures Shentong that everything is on him.

20 minutes later, Shen Tong came to the court.

The stadium lights are still on.

Shen Tong did some preparations before shooting, and then began to practice shooting.

Since entering the NBA, there have been very few such field games.

When was the last time you were on an outdoor field?

Three or four months ago?

Shen Tong no longer remembers.

Start shooting three-pointers at the bottom corner, and shoot 100 points at each point. Starting from the bottom corner on the right, 45° to the right, the top of the front arc, 45° to the left, and the left bottom corner, there are 5 points in total, and 500 shots .

Shentong felt good today. After shooting all 5 points, he didn't seem to miss many shots.

When Shen Tong stopped shooting practice and was about to wipe off his sweat, he discovered that many local residents had already come out for activities near the court.

The sun has already risen.

Looking at the time, it was less than 7 o'clock, and Shentong still had more ideas.

A little more free throw.

Putting on the hoodie, Shen Tong picked up the ball under the basket, came to the front of the three-point line, and threw the ball casually.

"swish"

The ball hits hollow.

The corners of Shen Tong's mouth raised, it was not a big problem to slaughter the cow tonight.

at this time.

An uncle sweeping the road outside the stadium suddenly shouted at Shen Tong: "Hold your elbows in!"

Shentong: what?

Shen Tong silently picked up the ball and threw it again.

A young woman pushing a baby stroller passed by the gate of the stadium. She pointed at Shentong with a finger, which meant pointing at Jiangshan and scolding Fang Qiu, and said, "Pay attention to the auxiliary hand."

STO:"."

As time went by, more and more people either watched or passed by.

"Previously exert strength."

"Arm stretch."

"Let the ball spin counterclockwise in the air."

"Kick the ground and bend your knees."

"The wrist should be pressed down at the moment of the shot."

"Remember the ball comes out of the middle finger."

etc.

More and more people give their own "suggestions".

Shen Tong, wearing a coat and hat, found himself as a completely amateur basketball beginner.

"Thank you." Shen Tong turned around and thanked these "knowledgeable players", then grabbed the ball with one hand and rushed to the basket.

"boom!!!"

Shentong dunked the ball vigorously into the basket without reservation.

When Shentong came down from the basket, the entire basket was shaking violently, and there were "creaking" and "creaking" sounds.

The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed.

During the warm-up training in the afternoon.

Jefferson humbly asked Shen Tong for advice: "Hey, buddy, I want to know, when jumping, is the elbow curved inward or outward? I found that some people's shooting posture is outward, while Some people are introverted like Reggie"

"Hey, brother." Shen Tong interrupted Jefferson and said, "Don't care about those rules and regulations, as long as it suits you, you can throw the ball in, and play the highest shooting percentage, this posture is correct. There's no need to be like everyone else."

Recalling the scene in the morning, Shentong immediately gave his most pertinent suggestion.

"But you once told me to pay attention when you shoot"

Shen Tong quickly raised his head, stopped Jefferson's words, and said, "No, no, that's the essence of my ignorance of shooting before. You can treat what I said before as bullshit. As long as you shoot comfortably, then you can shoot as you like." It’s enough to practice with the posture you like, improve your hits, hit the ball, and keep it stable.”

Jefferson stared at Shen Tong with wide eyes, and said after a while, "Okay, buddy."

Looking back, Shen Tong swore that he would never advise anyone according to his own standards

night.

Continental Arena.

"Pack up the mat, put up the mat!"

Sun Zhengping's voice sounded as promised.

"Wow, today's game is lively. The audience is full of fans. Let's see, two Chinese players have already started warming up on the court. Shen Tong is wearing the No. 25 jersey of the Nets, and the other side is wearing The one who wears the number 16 jersey of the Mavericks is Wang Zhizhi." Zhang Weiping said excitedly.

This Chinese Derby will be commented live by the Shuangping combination.

According to the starting lineup before the game, the Nets sent a five-tiger lineup of Mutombo, Martin, Jefferson, Shentong and Kidd.

The Mavericks are the same as the previous analysis, with LaFrentz, Nowitzki, Finley, Bell and Nash starting together.

Just before the game, neat applause broke out in the noisy arena.

Loud whistles came and went.

Shentong, who was warming up, stopped and looked at the focus area of people's attention.

A 15- or 6-year-old boy, surrounded by his parents, held up a self-made poster.

It read: My name is Francisco, I'm back! Thanks!

Shen Tong saw the words on the poster and immediately knew what was going on.

He tucked the ball under his arm and applauded Francisco who came to the scene.

If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about them.

It is not too late for the prodigal son to return.
