Chapter 481 God is called Shentong today
Varejao's "brave performance" regardless of his own safety caused O'Neal to receive his third foul and had to take a rest.
O'Neal returned to the bench and angrily threw the towel to the floor.
"That damn Brazilian guy, I will make him look good soon!" O'Neal vowed angrily.
Varejao still had the same expression, smiling and relaxed.
I don’t know if I’m being arrogant or just being stupid.
But in terms of acting skills, he is really strong.
According to the idea of STO who watched the scene at close range, it will definitely kill those little fresh meat or fairies who memorize the line "12345" more than ten years later...
...
After O'Neal came off the court, the pressure on the Cavaliers' inside line suddenly decreased.
But Alonzo Mourning, who came on as a substitute, is not a vegetarian either.
This man who averaged 21 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in his rookie season is the fifth center outside the four major centers!
Although he is only 2.08 meters tall, he is indeed a short and stocky center with a very strong physique.
In the Heat's training facility, there is a special area named after Mourning.
In that area, Mourning holds nearly all of the Heat's weightlifting records.
If it weren't for the fact that in the 2001-02 season, Mourning had a kidney replaced due to severe renal failure, he would definitely have the ability to become the league's top center, and even replace the four major centers.
It's a pity that although one kidney can support Mourning to still stand on the NBA court, it is obvious that he can no longer control the situation as before.
After all, it is a miracle in itself that a single kidney can still stand on the NBA stage.
Therefore, even if the healthy Wang Zhizhi fails to come on as a substitute, he and the Chinese fans do not need to feel regretful.
Not everyone has Mourning's tenacious spirit and fighting spirit.
Of course, Mourning had to replace a kidney because of his illness.
If you asked him to exchange his kidney for a sports car or a mansion, he would never consider it, let alone an iPhone.
...
The game between the two sides was very tense. At the end of the first half, the away Cavaliers had a slight lead of 2 points.
The score is 47-45.
STO checked the completion of the task during the intermission.
The statistics of the task panel show 2/3.
In the first half, there were two dunks with O'Neal on the court.
What makes Shentong depressed is that dunks during fast breaks don't seem to be included in the statistics.
And when it comes to dunks in a positional battle, it's difficult to avoid O'Neal under the basket.
Judging from the two dunks completed in the first two quarters, the situation is relatively dangerous.
When you want to dunk in the second half, you must seize the opportunity and try to get it done in one go!
Otherwise, if there are long nights and many dreams, O'Neal's temper may get worse, and he will be overwhelmed by a mountain of air like he did to Carter. By then, getting injured in order to complete this task will not be worth the loss.
...
The second half begins again.
The game entered the middle of the third quarter, and STO had the opportunity to complete the task!
That was a gentleman's connection.
James broke through to the inside. Facing the basket guarded by O'Neal, he did not attack for a layup. Instead, he hit the ground and passed back to the center.
Shentong broke in from the outside, received a pass from James, and took off directly inside the free throw line.
This goal is very similar to the position Carter scored back then.
O'Neal was already mentally prepared.
"Come on, Shentong, let you feel the terror of my big shark!"
O'Neal jumped up, like a mountain bearing down on him, his whole body caged in the sky.
There is no way to avoid Shen Tong.
Two guys with a huge size difference collided in the air for an instant!
Shentong turned his body sideways at the moment when the two were about to confront each other, reducing the contact area and avoiding being directly knocked away.
But O'Neal only felt Shentong twisting his body in the air, avoiding most of his own strength.
Shen Tong, who turned sideways, felt a strong force falling from the sky. The ball in his hand almost came out of his hand.
But what does this moment feel like? Very familiar!
It's like something trained hard in the cabin of spirit and time.
Instant confrontation with six times gravity!
Before his body fell, Shentong stretched out his arm. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, he reached forward with his right hand and barely dunked the ball into the basket!
...
Like an eagle pounces on a chicken, O'Neal pounced on nothing, only robbing a few chicken feathers.
Shentong relied on his powerful ability to stay in the air and fight in the air to miraculously complete a magical dunk that may never be replicated again!
The referee's whistle also sounded.
O'Neal's defensive foul just now.
Shentong not only completed a dunk, but also a 2+1!
This ball is much more difficult than the first dunk ball.
Even if you ask Shentong to do it again, he may not be able to complete it again.
"Roar!!!"
After completing an incredible dunk, Shentong clenched his fists with both hands and roared loudly like he was venting his anger.
James hugged Shentong from behind, picked him up, and then put him down? He seemed to be venting his excitement.
Wagner ran up to Shentong and raised his hands as if to worship. Other Cavaliers players also followed suit.
Varejao almost fell to his knees when he came over? Fortunately, Shentong quickly helped him up.
This guy is overacting.
The Cavaliers' bench was also happy.
That dunk completed by Shentong was like dropping a bomb into the calm water, exploding all the players who were sitting safely on the bench in an instant.
If it weren't for their inability to run onto the court, these guys would have rushed up and thrown Shentong up.
Let me ask, who can complete such explosive 1v1 dunks twice in a row in front of O'Neal?
Jordan only completed it once.
...
O'Neal had no reason or excuse for this goal.
Even after watching the replay on the big screen in the center of the court, O'Neal was convinced of STO's dunk.
The second time, this thought occurred in O'Neal's mind: This guy is unstoppable.
The first time O'Neal had this idea was the great basketball god, Michael Jordan.
This ball was like a basin of cold water poured onto the flame, which immediately extinguished it.
O'Neal held his knees with both hands, shook his head slightly, and let his eyes go blank.
Could it be that I am really not as good as before?
...
The trend of the game completely changed after STO's goal.
Although O'Neal is still dominant at the basket, Varejao's appearance has greatly reduced the Sharks' damage.
Because O'Neal not only has to fight against Varejao, but also against the referee, or against Varejao's acting skills.
After STO completed the data required by the task, it began to adopt an offensive strategy to avoid his sharpness and frequently used shooting to kill.
And today Shentong's touch was surprisingly good. No matter how Wade defended, he couldn't limit Shentong's performance.
Even after Shentong made a fake move of shaking left and right to catch the ball, and hit the ball at the buzzer, Wade himself, who failed to block the shot, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
...
As the referee's final whistle sounded, the Cavaliers narrowly missed their last two away wins with a 98-92 victory in the away game!
After losing, O'Neal and Wade were in different states of mind.
In O'Neal's heart, today's STO is not STO, but the man who once touched the fear in his heart, Michael Jordan.
In Wade's mind, Shentong played so well today and is worthy of being the person he wants to catch up to.
...
Today, STO's performance in Miami was impeccable.
He scored 40 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
After the game, a website published the headline "Today, God calls STO" on the home page of the sports section, along with a picture of STO dunking on O'Neal.
Chapter completed!
