Chapter 61 Kwame-Poland-Brown Sends Warmth
In terms of tacit understanding, no one on this court has a closer relationship than Shentong and Jefferson.
College teammates for two years.
A whole summer of training sessions during the offseason.
And my current roommates.
One look passed.
The other party knew it well.
After completing the task, Shentong excitedly touched Jefferson's braised egg head.
...
It's a pity that the happiness didn't last long.
In front of Shentong, Jordan surprisingly took a shot from outside the three-point line.
Shen Tong was stunned.
I even forgot to cover it.
Watching blankly as Jordan threw the ball.
The parabola of the ball is not very high.
Even relatively flat.
but...
Actually got in!
The score was instantly shortened to 97-95.
There are 27 seconds left.
Now the situation became tense again.
Smith: "Michael is Michael. No one can stop him. As long as he wants to, he can do it, even if it is a three-pointer that Michael is not good at."
Buckley didn't object this time.
"If the game reaches the last minute, the ball will definitely be handed over to Michael, because this time belongs to him."
...
Scott immediately called a timeout and arranged a crucial attack.
Martin, Van Horn, Jefferson, Shentong, Kidd.
5 players with shooting ability are put on the field.
It seems that Scott believes that a 2-point lead is not safe.
...
Jordan defended even tighter.
Even when running without the ball, Shentong felt the strong oppressive defense from Jordan.
STO has no chance here.
Martin was locked tightly by Brown.
Jefferson was also pestered by Hamilton.
Kidd controls the ball and consumes time.
There are 7 seconds left, break through and score the ball.
Van Horn gets a chance to shoot.
Everyone held their breath.
"when"
Missed!
Haywood grabbed the rebound!
The Wizards immediately called for a timeout.
There are 3 seconds left on the clock.
Now the pressure is on the Nets.
Leading by only 2 points, the opponent has the world's deadliest killer - Michael Jordan.
...
The atmosphere at the scene was quite tense.
Some fans held up posters made on the spot.
Killer, Michael Jordan.
...
Before going on stage.
Shentong: "Guys, listen to me later, whoever is going to serve, chat with him."
"What?"
"I studied psychology. At this time, I have to chat with him to distract him."
...
The Wizards prepare to serve the ball downfield.
Brown stood outside the line.
When passing by.
Shentong: "Hey Kwame, do you know Thunder?"
Brown: "What thunder?"
Shentong: "Thunder, this sky-reaching cultivation level, the sky is falling, the earth is falling, the purple gold hammer, the purple lightning, this mysterious flame, the nine-day hanging sword, is shaking the sky..."
Brown: "..."(;°○°)
Jordan noticed Shentong next to Brown.
"Kwame, focus and don't worry about what others say."
...
The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
"Watch out for Michael and Richard!" Scott yelled from the sidelines.
Jordan and Hamilton were the Wizards' only options for the final shot.
Outstanding brand!
Shentong tried his best, never leaving Jordan, and kept squeezing his opponent with his body.
Over there, Jefferson was also using all his strength to get entangled with Hamilton.
The serve is about to time out in 5 seconds.
Jordan pushed Shentong away.
The action is quite obvious.
But the referee didn't blow the whistle.
There's a chance!
Brown quickly passed the ball...
A ground pass.
However, the ball seemed to deviate from Jordan's running route...
While everyone was still complaining to the referee about the foul, Shentong, who was fully focused, did not dwell on the push.
He came out from behind, successfully intercepted Brown's weak pass with one stride, and quickly ran towards the opponent's half!
Time's up, the Nets win!
In a dramatic way.
The Wizards with Jordan didn't even get a chance to take the final shot.
Brown shook his head in annoyance.
Jordan swallowed the gum directly in anger.
Otherwise it will be too hard to swallow.
Brown's mysterious pass made Jordan very helpless.
The score was fixed at 97-95, and the Nets, playing at home, won with a slight advantage of 2 points.
Shentong, who was holding the ball, was surrounded by his teammates.
Although this goal was mainly due to Brown's serving error, Shentong's key steal ensured the victory of the game!
Smith: "Although Kwame performed well in this game and showed the potential of the No. 1 pick, there is no doubt that the final serve buried the Wizards' hope."
Barkley: "Michael will not give up. Kwame will definitely have an unforgettable post-game speech."
At the end of the game, Shentong played 30 minutes and scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.
Jordan played 32 minutes and scored 28 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
The 38-year-old Jordan won the data, and the 20-year-old Shentong won the game.
...
After the game.
Jordan had a depressed expression on his face.
A reporter asked: "Michael, should you develop a more detailed tactical plan for your final attack? For example..."
Before the reporter could finish speaking, Jordan immediately said into the microphone: "It's the best tactic for me to do it myself... At the last moment, there is no other choice. But the premise is that you have to give me a reliable server."
Everyone knows that Jordan is referring to poor Kwame Poland Brown.
...
The consumption of this game is too great.
After the game, the players came to the dining table to replenish their energy.
Shentong also ate an Orleans chicken burger, then sat in front of his closet and reminisced about the fierce battle with Jordan and Hamilton.
"Guys, the performance of the rookies today was very exciting, especially Shen, Richard and Jason Jr.!" Kidd's voice echoed through the locker room.
"That's right."
"Come."
Kidd waved, and several veterans took out a dozen burgers.
"Shen, don't you have an old Chinese saying that "He who knows food is a hero"? This is the reward we give you. Come on, don't be polite and eat more!"
In Shentong's heart, there are thousands of grass and mud horses galloping past...
Rewards for veterans cannot be refused.
Under the smiling gaze of Kidd and others...
Shentong finally ate two of them, but he couldn't eat any more, so he kept pretending.
After the others left the locker room, Shentong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the hamburger boxes in front of him, Shentong felt that he would not touch them again within a month.
Looking sideways, Jefferson also stopped and was leaning on the chair, burping.
And Collins was still eating bite after bite.
"Hey, Jason, they've left, no need to eat." Shentong reminded kindly.
Collins stuffed the remaining burger into his mouth and took another one.
"I'm still a little hungry..."
"Depend on!"
...
That night, Shentong lay on his back on the bed, holding the reward for completing the task in his hand.
A small bottle with purple light.
There are only five words on the bottle: God's nutrient solution.
I have carefully looked at STO before and after, and found that there are three products.
And the item details only have two words: drink it!
But since it’s a purple epic reward...
Shentong opened the bottle cap.
A fresh fragrance.
White slightly viscous liquid.
Shentong opened his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.
The taste is a bit fishy.
After waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
What the hell, it made me risk my life to complete the task.
With a trace of resentment, I fell asleep bitterly.
...
That night.
Shentong's sleeping position.
Big → too → wooden.
"Ah~~~"
Shen Tong woke up from his dream.
Cramped...cramped...
Chapter completed!
