The Fifth Point Guard

STO's recent performance has been incredible, averaging 40+ points per game and ranking first in the scoring list.

However, there are quite a few players who have scored a lot of points this season.

Kobe, Iverson and even Anthony all averaged 30+ points per game.

Players such as Tracy McGrady, Carter, Arenas and others also averaged more than 27 points per game.

In this environment, there are undercurrents surging in the alliance and people's thoughts are stirring.

Many people are restless.

Andrew Bogut, the first Australian No. 1 draft pick.

When he first landed in the NBA this year, Bogut was so arrogant that even his own compatriot David Anderson looked down on him, thinking that this kid was too jumpy.

When it comes to strength, Bogut does have it.

As early as 2003, as a member of the Australian youth team, he represented Australia in the World Youth Men's Basketball Championship. He played in a total of 8 games, averaging 26.3 points and 17 rebounds per game, showing an astonishing performance. Dominant, and eventually led the team to win the championship, and was elected MVP of the World Youth Championship.

At a young age, he broke the monopoly of strong European and American teams and stood on top of the world. It seems natural that Bogut, who became famous at a young age, is high-spirited.

In the summer of 2004, Bogut represented the Australian men's basketball team at the Athens Olympics, averaging 13.7 points and 9 rebounds per game. Before entering the NBA, Bogut was already being pursued by many NBA scouts.

Some scouts have named the next superstar from outside Europe and the United States.

Some experts even compare Bogut with STO, and believe that Bogut's future is better than STO.

No way, at that time, most people still believed that the development of inside players would be better than that of outside players. After all, those who can win inside will win the world.

In the 2004-05 NCAA season, Bogut has become a major killer in the NCAA league.

Averaged 20.4 points, 12.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, shot 62% from the field, and ranked first in the NCAA with 26 double-doubles!

Such data puts Bogut's starting point far ahead of Shentong, who barely entered the league in the second round by relying on his lore.

At the end of that season, Bogut ranked first in the Associated Press All-Pro voting, was elected the Associated Press and ESPN Player of the Year, and the Naismith College Player of the Year, and won the John Wooden Award.

The favored Bogut has locked up the position of the No. 1 pick in advance. However, Bogut, who has a higher ambition than the sky, is not convinced by Shentong who compares himself with him.

Who is Shentong?

He is just a Chinese player who scores well and is very flexible.

In the future, I will be a superstar like O'Neal who dominates the entire league!

Therefore, without being invited, he sneaked into Shentong's villa training camp with Marvin Williams, whom he had greeted, just to see how good Shentong was.

As a result, people were "invited" out of the door before they even warmed up.

Bogut was ashamed of this incident.

What a disgrace.

From that moment on, he and Shentong were at odds with each other.

In addition, the Australian media were indignant when they learned that their "proud son of heaven" had been humiliated by an Asian player.

With the media adding fuel to the fire and fueling the flames, STO has become Australia's public enemy.

This also led to the intensity of the game between the Cavaliers and Bucks.

The game on the court has not yet begun, but the online battle has already begun.

Chinese and Australian netizens have had several battles with each other winning or losing.

Even the media on both sides are tit for tat.

On one side, he posted a message saying "The scoring title is not the ceiling for a rookie season", and on the other side he immediately replied with a response like "There is only one person outside the United States who can be crowned".

Although this is already Shentong's fifth season in the league, Bogut in his rookie season thinks he is ready.

"He can come over at any time and I will accompany him at any time."

"He's nothing special, he's just an Asian player."

"NBA championship? Not bad, but he has never won a world championship."

Bogut, who was kicked out, left many classic quotes in front of the media.

The most famous sentence was put on the front page of the sports section by the Australian media on the morning of the game.

"He is just a clown, I will beat him until he shows his true colors!"

Quite manic.

Regarding the provocation of the Australians, naturally there are media who are not too concerned about the excitement and come to join in the fun.

After someone recited Bogut's remarks in front of STO in an embellished manner, he asked STO what he thought and wanted to go back and write another hot news article about STO's response.

But Shentong was silent for a while and then asked: "Andrew Bogut? Who is he?"

Under the reporter's stunned expression, James, who was sitting next to Shentong, laughed.

Squeezing next to STO and grabbing the microphone, James said: "Andrew's opponent is our Big Z."

After saying that, he looked at Varejao not far away, pointed at the Brazilian and said: "No, it should be him. Let him beat Anderson first."

Seeing that Shentong, James and the interviewing reporter suddenly looked at him, Varejao quickly put on his casual pants, covering his flowery pants, and showed a shy smile.

During this period, STO's scoring momentum has been very strong, and James' position as the second leader has been very stable, but Wagner, one of the "Big Three", is not very happy.

His recent performance has not been great, or even very stable.

While the level of Shentong and James is increasing sharply every day, he seems to be still standing still.

On the first day of training in Milwaukee, he was even given a big block by Eric Snow, who had no jumping ability, which caused some ridicule from the big guys.

"Why"

After rinsing and changing into clothes, Wagner couldn't help but sigh.

Looking up, there was no one else in the locker room except himself.

After standing up, Wagner put his backpack behind him and prepared to return to the hotel. At this moment, a person pushed the door open and entered.

"Shen? Haven't you left yet?"

Shentong's training shirt has become soaked again.

"Oh, I just went to practice shooting for a while."

After saying that, Shentong took off his shirt and long johns directly, and rushed into the bathroom wearing only his underpants.

Wagner took a closer look at the training clothes Shentong took off, as if they were soaked through by water.

This was less than an hour after Shentong changed clothes and went out.

This guy already feels so good, yet he actually has to practice more by himself every day.

In the words of Guangdong media reporters, isn't this just "pretending"?

In the second bath, Shentong washed quickly.

"Hey, Dajuan, why haven't you left yet?"

Wagner showed a hint of trepidation and said, "Boss, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

Shen Tong, who was all dressed in tendons, put on his shirt, glanced at Wagner, and said, "Why, do you feel a little confused about your recent state?"

When Wagner heard it, he was really amazed!

Can you guess this?

The boss is the boss.

"Yeah, Shen, I haven't played very well recently. My form is up and down, and there's no continuity. Even my performance in the last few games has not been as good as that of Eric Snow who came on as a substitute. I think so. If the fight continues, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to keep my position as the main force.”

Shentong put on his pants, stood up and picked them up, and said: "Playing is just playing, don't think about other things. What you have to overcome is your vanity and your desire to show off, and what you have to deal with is those who always want to be in the limelight. Be clever. Throw away those flashy things and you will find the truest you."

After saying that, Shentong put on his backpack and walked towards the door of the locker room.

Looking at Shentong's back, Wagner suddenly felt that the back was so tall that he ignored the orange that Shentong put in his hand.

The figure of Shentong slowly walking towards the locker room was so majestic and full of energy that Wagner couldn't help but stare at him, his eyes full of admiration.

Shen Tong lowered his head and glanced at his watch, then suddenly took a long step and staggered towards the door, without the free and easy temperament and tall demeanor he had just now.

After opening the door, Shen Tong did not forget to say something to Wagner: "Da Juan, damn, the last bus to the hotel will leave in one minute!"

After saying that, there was a "bang" sound, and Wagner didn't even wait.

Wrong day!

Wagner was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing. He quickly grabbed his bag and ran after him.

Speaking of the Cavaliers' opponents in the next game, the Bucks this season are no longer the bottom team that can be exploited.

The team has gathered a group of very capable players, with a clear division of labor between the main players and substitutes, and there are many players who can play.

The strength of the starting five cannot be underestimated.

Team boss and shooting guard Michael Reed is already an All-Star player. A glance at Shentong shows that he was also selected in the second round.

This season, Reid averaged 25 points per game and shot 39.5% from three-point range.

The best thing about Yang and Reid.

But it is still difficult for Reid alone to bring the Bucks to the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Therefore, during the offseason, the Bucks management brought Bobby Simmons, the most improved player from the Clippers, to Milwaukee.

Last season, Simmons averaged 16.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and his three-point shooting rate was as high as 43.5%, which is very suitable for the Bucks' system.

After coming to the Bucks, Simmons immediately became the team's starting small forward.

The team's backcourt commander is TJ Ford. After resting the 2004-05 season due to injury, Ford returned from injury this season and had a very exciting start.

12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals, and his 33.7% three-point shooting rate is also qualified.

With these three guns on the outside, Bucks coach Terry Stotts arranged the twin towers on the inside.

Andrew Bogut serves as the team's starting center, and Jamal Magloire is the team's starting power forward.

Bogut is 2.13 meters tall and Magloire is 2.11 meters tall. Both are good rebounders.

Judging from the starting lineup, the Bucks mainly rely on firepower and rebounding inside.

However, if they use their outside firepower, the Bucks' outside attack strength this season is very strong.

Sitting on the bench are the high-spirited Maurice Williams, veterans Charlie Bell and Toni Kukoc.

In addition, there are strong players such as Dan Gazulic and 1995 No. 1 pick Joe Smith as interior substitutes.

Since the start of the game, the Bucks have 3 wins and 1 loss, and their momentum is high.

Facing the Cavaliers, who have won all four games, the Bucks vowed to break the Cavaliers' undefeated streak at home.

On November 8, the NBA’s highlight game, which has attracted much attention from Chinese and Australian fans, is about to kick off.

The starting lineups announced by both sides before the game are:

Cavaliers: Big Z, Gooden, James, Shentong, Wagner.

Bucks: Bogut, Magloire, Simmons, Reid, Ford.

Before the game was about to start, Bogut was surprised to find Simmons in tears.

"Brother, what happened to you?"

Simmons wiped away tears and said: "I hate Shentong. It's because of him that I was in the league for three years. I finally came out of the shadows in the offseason of the third year. This game is my revenge. I must make him look good to vent my hatred!"

Bogut quickly held Simmons' hand tightly and said: "Brother, we want to go together. In this game, I have to give him a hard time. He has also embarrassed me. I can't get over it!"

STO did not expect that before the game, Bogut and Simmons would join forces because of him.

When the starting players from both sides came on the field to prepare for the game, something embarrassing happened.

Shentong shook hands with Magloire, Reed, and Ford in turn, then ignored Bogut and Simmons.

Of course, Bogut and Simmons did not take the initiative to extend their hands to Shentong. In fact, these two people did not shake hands with anyone from the Cavaliers.

This seemingly arrogant attitude made the other four people besides Shentong very unhappy, especially LeBron James.

The price of ignoring the chosen one must be given a good look.

Before the game, STO had already received the main mission from the Basketball God Space.

{

Main quest: Ragnarok

Mission statement: Anyone who dares to question you must give them a good look without mercy! Even if he is knocked to the ground, he still has to step on him a few more times. Not only physical destruction, but also spiritual blows! Planting the flag of godhood on Bogut's head is like the British planting the flag on Australian soil! Take the blood of the stag to sacrifice the flag, the rise of the new god starts from here!

Mission requirement: Defeat the Bucks and cause Bogut to leave the game with 6 fouls within regular time.

Main line reward: Blue tile fragments (pink super god)

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

The rise of new gods, the twilight of the gods!

Shentong had the illusion that his last name seemed to mean 'god'.

There's nothing more exciting than beating, no, beating Bogut.

In the last time and space, Bogut was disrespectful to China, and now STO will pay it back in full!

In a tense atmosphere on the court, the game began.

Big Z gave Bogut some color at the beginning.

In the jump ball, Big Z won the scrum.

The Cavaliers took the lead.

Without the fancy crotch dribbling, Wagner quickly advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Shentong.

It is Reed who is defending Shentong at this moment.

Although Reid is a big shot in Milwaukee, in the eyes of Shentong, he is no different from a passerby.

Looking at Bogut on the inside, his fingers point to the edge of the midline logo.

What does he want to do?

Many people here thought so.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Shentong stepped on the position he just pointed at, jumped up high, and under Reid's surprised gaze, took action.
