Before the game against the Rockets, Basketball God Space created a new mission.

{

Main mission: Collision with youth

Mission description: When you first hear the song, you don’t know what it is like, but when you listen to it again, you are already a person in the song. Touch your own youth and shed your own sweat. Go on the field and try your best. You have to use all your strength!

Mission requirements: Defeat the Rockets and successfully dunk on the head of Rockets center Cato

Mission props: a fairy bean

Main line reward: Huiren Beverage

Task status: waiting to be collected

}

This task moved Shentong a little.

Memories, emotions and excitement are intertwined.

If the Rockets are the youth of many fans, then this time, STO plans to work hard to compete with youth!

Defeating the Rockets is a must!

Dunking on a black and hard head requires some patience and opportunity.

As for the props given during the mission...

A fairy bean?

{

Props: a fairy bean

Details: Planted by the Cat Immortal on Kailin Tower, it takes a long time to be cultivated to mature.

Eating a fairy bean will prevent you from eating for ten days, heal your injuries, and restore your full strength.

}

In your hand, Shentong is about the size of an ordinary broad bean.

Is this the fairy bean from the legendary Dragon Ball?

Although his body has adapted to high-intensity strength training, he practiced too hard the day before the game, causing Shentong's body to feel a little tired and not yet fully recovered.

This fairy bean comes in handy at this moment.

"Whoosh"

Throw the fairy beans into your mouth.

"Crack"

"Crack"

It tastes like cashew nuts.

Swallow.

There seems to be no difference...

In the midst of emotion.

Suddenly there was a surge of gas in the body.

In an instant, it surged from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Then...

Breathe out, inhale, exhale...

Shentong feels that his physical strength and energy have been fully restored, and he is in top condition!

How beautiful this world is.

The air is so fresh.

Just do it!

...

The TV camera shows the appearance of the cartoon character "Flying Pig".

After the flying dunk, the cartoon character disappeared and Charles Barkley appeared.

And his old partner-Kenny Smith.

Smith: "Charles, what we are live broadcasting on TNT today is the game between the Houston Rockets and the New Jersey Nets. The performance of these two teams has completely changed this year. The Nets have dominated the competition and remain undefeated so far, winning all 4 games.

, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, while the Rockets have 1 win and 3 losses in 4 games. In the last game, they barely defeated the Miami Heat with overtime. I think this game, the Nets will win in all likelihood and take 5 points.

Winning streak.”

Barkley smacked his lips and said: "I don't think so, old man, this is the NBA. There is no absolute strength or weakness. Even if there is a ranking, it is only relative. Although the Rockets left Haki

Tom, but Steve and Cuttino are still on the team, and with those two, anything is possible."

Smith: "By the way, have you heard? It is said that Adidas and Nike are preparing to sign an endorsement contract with the Chinese player Shentong who plays for the Nets. The amount seems to be quite considerable."

Barkley laughed and said: "Well, man, if it is true, then I can only congratulate him. Anyway, my shoes are all given by sponsors, and I also founded my own sneaker brand..."

chatter.

Buckley looked down upon STO's possible endorsement at all.

At this time, TNT replayed STO's death dunk against the Mavericks in the previous game.

This dunk ranked first among the top ten wonderful goals of the day!

Barkley watched the exciting scene of Shentong leaping into the sky and dunking a big bamboo pole. His nose was sloppy and he was speechless for a long time...

After all, flying pigs have never flown like this before.

︿(￣︶￣)︿

...

Before the game, both sides announced the starting lineup.

The Nets' starting lineup has not changed, and they are still a winning lineup.

Mark Lodge, Martin, Van Horn, Shentong, Kidd.

The 4-game winning streak at the start shows that the chemistry of this lineup is very good, and no coach will change the lineup easily.

On the Rockets side.

The starting center is the black and tough Kevin Cato, who is 2.11 meters tall.

A standard blue-collar player with no active scoring ability. Almost all his scoring relies on secondary offenses such as feeds and offensive rebounds.

However, the characteristic of Cato is that it is hard, very hard, very hard.

Even though O'Neal was so hard on the inside, he couldn't take advantage of Cato.

If we were to look for a player template in the country, it would be a player like Battelle.

The starting power forward is this year's No. 7 pick Eddie Griffin.

Griffin, who was selected by the Nets and traded to the Rockets, was given high hopes by the team.

He has started every game since the start of the game, and his strong physical fitness and shot-blocking ability are impressive.

Shows the potential of an elite shot-blocker.

At the same time, Griffin can also shoot, even from beyond the three-point line.

He was a power forward who could play both inside and outside, which was a scarce resource in the NBA at the time.

However, it seems that he has not yet adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game, and the No. 7 pick struggled with his shooting.

The 36% shooting rate since the start of the game is not up to standard.

The candidate for the small forward position is Kenny Thomas.

This rookie, who was selected by the Rockets with the 21st overall pick in the first round in 1999, has been patiently fed by the Rockets.

This year is his third season, and the Rockets have also gained.

The average points per game soared from 7 points to 14 points, the average rebounds per game also increased by 2, the assists increased by 1, and the steals and blocks also improved significantly.

The guard combination is quite famous in the Western Conference.

They are also the two guards who impressed Chinese fans when they first came into contact with the Rockets: "Old Cat" Mobley and "Boss" Francis.

Francis is already a super defender with 20+7+6, and Mobley can also contribute 20+5+2.

This duo with super energy is a defender combination that gives many teams a headache.

In this way, the Rockets' starting lineup is: Cato, Griffin, Thomas, Mobley, and Francis.

...

Before the game started, Mobley and Francis made a bet about STO.

Francis: "Cardino, the Chinese guard you are facing today is very popular recently. His dunk was shown on NBA Live yesterday. I'm afraid you will be bullied by a rookie today."

After saying that, Francis burst out laughing.

Mobley frowned and said: "Steve, don't be ridiculous. No matter who it is, don't expect to get benefits from me. Today I will teach that rookie a lesson. I will not be like those self-righteous people."

Everyone underestimates the enemy."

Francis: "I bet $1,000 that Shen can score more than 15 points in front of you today."

Mobley: "Deal! Steve, you lose."

...

Compaq Center in Space City.

Players from both sides appear.

The referee blows the whistle and the game officially begins!

Mark Lodge once again showed the results of his jump ball training and won the ball for the Nets.

Kidd passed the ball to Martin.

The Rockets' defense is very mobile and double-teams immediately.

Martin takes the outside line and Shentong holds the ball.

Mobley, with his cat-like sense of smell, immediately rushed to Shentong.
Chapter completed!
