On October 31, 2001, the NBA regular season officially started!

12 games started at the same time.

The 2001-02 season finally kicked off.

...

The New Jersey Nets also ushered in their first regular season game of the new season at home that day.

The opponent is a powerful player in the Eastern Conference.

Boston Celtics.

...

In the locker room.

Jefferson took off his headphones, sat next to Shentong, leaned over and said, "Hey, buddy, I want to ask you something."

"What's going on? It's so mysterious."

Jefferson smiled flatteringly and said, "How do you practice your mid-range shooting? Do you have any secrets? Please teach me."

"You are the second-best kid in the Wildcats...the number two guy. You average over 16 points per game. You want to ask me the secret?"

Shentong rolled his eyes at Jefferson angrily.

"It's not purely about scoring. You see, I've never been good at three-point shooting, but your three-point shooting is very accurate. Especially since your three-point shooting was not impressive at first, but suddenly it became worse.

"Hey, do you have any tips for practicing three-pointers?" Jefferson pushed STO with his arm and gave him a wink.

Shen Tong understood.

In terms of scoring ability alone, Jefferson is no worse than himself. He is good at breakthrough layups, pull-up jump shots, and fast-break dunks.

When I was in the NCAA, I had a body and the above skills, which was enough.

But this is the NBA, a place where technical excellence is required.

After experiencing a few games, Jefferson quickly realized his weak points.

The stability of shooting, especially mid-range shots.

On the NBA court, breakthroughs and slam dunks are not as easy as in college.

The interior is packed with shot-blockers and muscle.

Moreover, Jefferson's direct competitor at the small forward position, Van Horn, has a good three-point shot.

During the team's tactical training, Scott often arranged tactics for Van Horn because he had a long-range basket and could open up space.

...

However, there are no shortcuts for three-pointers and long-range shots. Only through persistent training can you improve your touch.

Even, it requires a certain amount of talent.

Shen Tong stretched out his hand.

"look."

Jefferson looked at the calluses on Shentong's hands.

Touched it.

It hurts.

"You're saying that regular masturbation will help improve the feel?"

"Damn it, this is a callus from practice! There is no shortcut to long-distance shooting. You can only practice, practice, and practice again and again! Do you understand?"

Jefferson nodded quickly to express his understanding.

...

"Grandpa, answer the phone~~Grandpa, answer the phone~~"

STO's cell phone rang.

Pick up the phone.

Arenas' loud and irritable voice came from the receiver.

"Hey, buddy, are you and Richard still getting used to being in New Jersey?"

Jefferson: "Who?"

Shen Tong smiled, "Gilbert."

Jefferson immediately put his ear up.

Shentong replied: "It's not bad. The training intensity is quite intense. I have adapted to it now. How are you?"

Arenas' laughter came from the phone.

"Man, we just got a big win and got off to a good start! Although I came off the bench, I scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. I was the number one contributor to the team's victory! Hahaha~~"

Shentong and Jefferson looked at each other.

This guy still can't get over his bragging habit.

"Okay, I know your game is tonight, so I won't talk to you any more. I wish you good luck."

The other person hung up the phone.

Shentong: "Gilbert seems to have adapted to Golden State. Judging from the first game alone, his performance was not bad."

Jefferson stared at Shentong and blinked.

"Grandpa answered the phone...what's going on?"

wipe!

⊙﹏⊙∥

STO forgot about this incident.

Jefferson thought of something and quickly took out his cell phone.

STO immediately stopped: "Richard, don't be like this, this is just a cell phone ringtone, it doesn't mean anything."

Jefferson ignored the obstruction and resolutely pressed STO's mobile phone number.

Dial.

...

"Brother Monkey, the master asked the monster to take him away~~Brother Monkey, the master asked the monster to take him away~~"

Jefferson smiled and just called him 'Brother'.

"Yes, you have a conscience."

Shentong wiped his sweat.

Fortunately, Jefferson has never seen "Journey to the West" and doesn't know what happened between Wukong and Bajie.

...

Didi didi.

Basketball God Space has refreshed a new mission.

Task format:

{

Main mission: A good start to the new season

Mission statement: A good start is half the battle! The new season must start well, at least not lose to Arenas.

Mission requirement: Defeat the Boston Celtics

Main plot reward: broken dropped lens

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

The content of the task is quite simple.

Just defeat your opponent!

Let alone Shentong, I'm afraid this is something the whole team is looking forward to.

Who doesn't want to get a victory at the beginning of the new season and get the whole season off to a good start?

Click to claim.

...

"Pah, pah, pah."

Jason Kidd stood in the middle of the locker room, clapping his hands to get everyone's attention.

"Guys, today is our first game of the new season. Our opponent is Boston. This is a tough battle at any time."

"But this is New Jersey, our home court, and we have to defend it no matter who the opponent is."

"We want to use victory to show all those who look down on us how stupid and naive they are. We want fans around the world to see that the New Jersey Nets will be a group of dark horses in the new season!"

"Because Jason Kidd is here, because you are here, New Jersey can't lose!"

...

"That's right."

"Destroy Boston!"

"Beat them!"

Whistles and roars came and went.

As expected of Kidd, his pre-game encouragement immediately inspired the Nets' fighting spirit.

...

Kidd raised his right hand: "The new season is off to a good start!"

Everyone: "The new season is off to a good start!"

"Set off!"

"Ho~~~"

...

Avril Lavigne and Shen Qing were sitting next to each other on the side of the court.

Since the game was in New Jersey, Shen Qing, who loves sports, came specifically to watch her brother play and cheer him on.

Avril Lavigne specially traveled from New York to New Jersey because of the great significance of this game.

The two of them added AIM to each other after they last met.

Later, through chatting, Shen Qing and Avril discovered that they actually had many similar hobbies and endless topics to talk about.

Clothes, lipstick, manicure, big waves, yoga, movies, handsome guys, etc...

When Shen Qing mentioned STO’s game today, Avril immediately said that she would also watch the game.

Lao Shen and Sister Hua were invited in advance by their neighbors to attend a community gathering for the elderly.

...

The game hasn't started yet.

New Jersey is still a bit hot at the end of October.

Since Avril Lavigne treated her to a sausage last time, Shen Qing also treated Avril Lavigne to a popsicle today.

Yellow banana shape.

Shen Qing smiled and watched Avril sucking and licking the popsicle.

(*▔▽▔*)

Brother, I'm so happy...
Chapter completed!
