The players gathered around Byron Scott and listened to the coach's final offensive tactics.

Corey Kidders, Jason Kidd, Shentong.

Scott arranged three ABC tactics for these three players.

Although ranked as the third choice, at least STO has entered the final attack list.

It's a bit better than when I was a wildcat.

At that time, Arenas and Jefferson were the only options.

...

Kidders has a three-point shooting percentage of more than 36% in his four-year career. In this game, he made 1 of 1 three-pointers. It is understandable that he is the first choice.

Kidd's three-pointers have always been mediocre, hovering around 30%, but his position as the team's boss is still there after all.

Among the three, Shentong was the most accurate three-pointer on the team during training.

It's the same at Peking University, it's the same with the Wildcats, and it's still the same with the Nets.

However, Shentong, who came out in the fourth quarter, except for one goal at the beginning under Anderson's defense, made no achievements in scoring.

All three shots missed, including two three-pointers.

The main reason for this is that STO dispersed most of its energy on defense against Houston.

Moreover, the opponent's defense is not bad either.

Therefore, based on the on-the-spot performance of the game, it is a very sensible choice to rank STO in third place.

...

The Nets timeout is up, and players from both sides appear on the court one after another.

Martin, Jefferson, Kidders, Shentong, Kidd.

Shentong was surprised to find that Shanton Anderson was playing again.

His eyes were full of anger.

(??へ??╬)

Shentong: "Huh? Lao Tie, it's you again."

Anderson: "Hmm..."

...

Kidd controlled the ball from outside and looked up from time to time to check the time.

The Nets' tactic is to run out of time and take shots at the last moment, leaving no chance for the opponent to counterattack.

In the preseason, no one wants to play overtime.

Martin ran from the inside to provide support.

Kidders started to move.

Defending Kidders at this moment is Alan Houston.

Facing Martin's pick-and-roll, Houston turned around very deftly and bypassed Martin's muscle barrier.

Kidders received the ball and had a gap in front of him, but it was not a very good opportunity.

However, facing the competition with STO for the starting shooting guard, Kidders would rather shoot the ball himself than pass the ball out.

Houston, who was not out of position, interfered with Kidders' shot.

"when"

The familiar sound of iron striking.

There are 3 seconds left.

Marcus Camby jumped high under the basket. As long as he got the rebound, victory would be in hand.

The moment Camby just touched the basketball, Jefferson popped out of nowhere and slapped the ball away!

2 seconds.

The ball hits an open spot.

A guy wearing jersey No. 25 of the Nets appeared in everyone's sight.

Hold the ball and jump on the spot.

1 second.

Take action...

Time seems to stand still.

The eyes of everyone present were slowly moving along with the basketball flying in the air.

"Boom"

The basketball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced into the basket!

Hit!

There are 0.2 seconds left.

Shentong raised his hands high, with a determined expression on his thin face!

Somehow, at the moment when Shentong hit the buzzer-beater, Kidd had a premonition that this guy would become an indispensable part of the team.

It’s almost the same plot, the same location, the same killer shot!

The first one to rush over was Jefferson.

"Ah~~~~"

The excited Jefferson jumped up and rushed towards Shentong, shouting, as if he had hit a fatal hit.

Shen Tong makes a quick dodge.

Jefferson flew out directly...

Then, Kidd and Martin stepped forward and took turns rubbing Shentong's hair.

"Hey... don't, I'm still young and don't want to go bald so early..."

...

The Knicks called a timeout.

But time is running out for New Yorkers.

Brett looked excited and wrote down STO's performance in his notebook.

Scott took a deep breath, high-fived Shentong who came back, and then looked at the video playback on the big screen with ease.

Poor Shentong, when he returned to the bench, he didn't escape the slaps on his head from other teammates.

On the sidelines, Shen Qing and Avril Lavigne were already holding hands excitedly.

...

Shanton Anderson was about to cry.

It's just extremely depressing.

The three three-pointers scored by Shentong on defense were all scored by facing himself.

I have no shame!

...

For 0.2 seconds, the miracle did not happen.

Sprewell barely made a three-pointer.

The game is over!

The Nets were lucky enough to defeat the Knicks 105-104 thanks to STO's buzzer-beater, getting off to a good start in the preseason.

He even won the archrival Derby!

...

As the whistle sounded, Anderson looked at Shentong and asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Tong smiled and said: "Old Tie, if you are the 'iron man', I will be the 'blacksmith'."

Blacksmith?

etc.

It seems to offend someone.

...

In the audience on the sidelines, Avril stood up happily, twisted on the spot, and danced in circles.

Shen Qing was also infected and jumped up.

It seems that the two of them are very compatible.

Sister Hua took the opportunity to take a good look at Avril Lavigne's figure.

Although she is petite, her growth is not ambiguous at all where she should be.

Lao Shen on the side frowned: "For the central defender position, besides Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng, and Zhang Enhua, who else should we take to the World Cup in Korea and Japan?"

...

In this game, Shentong played 10 minutes and efficiently scored 11 points, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, including the final three-pointer, and a 360° turning dunk.

The Chinese media at the scene were elated.

Foreign reporters have asked their Chinese counterparts about the Chinese player wearing jersey No. 25.

Including New York reporters who always think highly of themselves.

...

In the Nets locker room.

Van Horn sang a slightly off-key song and seemed in a good mood.

Kidders was sitting in a chair, applying ice to his sore ankle.

Martin was wearing a big bath towel and said as he walked past Shen Tong: "Well done, Shen."

Kidd stood up after resting for a while, clapped his hands, and said loudly to everyone: "Guys, the game was very good today. Each of us played and performed very well. We must maintain this state."

It goes on and on."

"That's right." Some players immediately responded to the captain's words.

Then, Kidd pointed to Shentong: "This guy hit a buzzer beater. Guys, he hit a buzzer beater in his first NBA game. What reward should we give to this outstanding rookie?"

Shentong's ears twitched.

Even Jefferson, who was sitting crookedly on the side, immediately sat up straight.

"Shen, I get half of the credit for your decisive victory, and I get half of the reward."

Jefferson whispered softly.

...

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Kidd laughed.

"Shen, I want a cup of Americano coffee, half sugar, hot."

Under Kidd's leadership...

"Shen, I want a chicken drumstick burger."

"Matcha latte, no sugar, just foamed milk."

“Large portion of fries, ketchup.”

“Herring rolls, spicy, with Thousand Island dressing.”

...

After reacting, Shentong quickly recorded them one by one.

Old birds are old birds.

...

Outside the locker room.

The unlucky Jefferson helped Shentong buy food together.

Who asked him to ask for half of the reward...

Seeing Shentong walking out the door empty-handed, Jefferson was a little surprised.

"Hey, Shin, where's your note or card? I mean, there are so many portions of food, didn't you remember it?"

Shen Tong pointed to his brain.

"They're all here."

Wow...

Jefferson blinked and followed in disbelief.
Chapter completed!
