Shentong crosses the ball from left to right, preparing to break through.

Left hand empty...

Mobley unexpectedly pounced on the basketball like a tom cat pounced on a female mouse, and successfully intercepted STO's ball!

"Look, what did I say?"

Seeing Shentong being intercepted by Mobley, Barkley shouted excitedly.

Mobley, who was holding the ball, immediately launched a fast break, and he and Francis made a quick break.

The Rockets duo are extremely fast, and only Kidd is the only one in the Nets to defend.

Mobley quickly advanced and passed the ball to Francis. Kidd stood in the path of the two passing the ball and kept retreating.

When reaching the penalty area, Kidd moved quickly and stood in Francis' path ahead of time.

Want to draw an offensive foul?

But Brother Fu was not a vegetarian either. He made a back pass while dribbling.

Wonderful pass to Mobley on the other side.

After receiving the ball, Lao Mao took three steps and dunked directly toward the basket with both hands.

"Wonderful back pass, Cutino will definitely dunk with both hands!"

In the voice of Buckley's passionate words, an agile figure jumped out from behind with lightning speed.

With a slap, the ball in Lao Mao's hand hit the backboard!

"Oh!!" This was Kenny Smith's surprised voice.

This physical fitness is amazing!

Unfortunately, the referee's whistle sounded.

Damn it.

Shen Tong spread his hands.

"This shot was a good shot and I didn't commit a foul."

Kidd also stepped forward and said to the referee: "This ball didn't touch my hand. You should have seen it clearly."

The referee shook his head and maintained the penalty.

Mobley said nothing, high-fived Ford and walked to the free throw line.

The old cat standing on the free throw line was still in shock.

At the moment when he took off for a dunk, Mobley had already prepared in advance for a successful dunk, without even considering the possibility that he would be blocked.

Regardless of whether the block was a foul or not, just catching up with the old cat and blocking the ball on the backboard was enough to shock Mobley.

"There was a foul, and Cuttino made two free throws. This defense and one attack reflected the gap between Cuttino and Shentong. One steal, one foul on Shentong, and two free throws. It was a perfect round." Barkley

The big mouth is particularly excited today.

Smith: "Shouldn't we pay attention to Shentong's blocking defense just now?"

Barkley: "That ball was fouled."

Smith: "That's true, but the speed of returning to defense and the bounce when blocking shots, this physical quality is definitely top-notch."

Barkley: "It's not that big of a shot, Kenny, I used to do that a lot when I was younger."

Smith: "Aren't you a floor player?"

Barkley: "Kenny, how could you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..."

...

Mobley missed the first free throw.

Calmed down a bit.

Steady hit the second free throw.

In between free throws.

Scott specifically called Shentong aside and warned: "Cardino is a left-handed player, so pay attention to this."

The head coach's words reminded Shentong.

Old Cat Mobley is not only a left-handed general, but also has a very good defense. Although he is 1.93 meters tall and does not have an advantage in the shooting guard position, his quick movement is enough to limit his opponents. At the same time, his offensive methods

It is also very diverse, with frontal cross-overs, pull-up jumpers, three-pointers and even post-ups all good at it.

You know, when Mobley was in college, he was the Atlantic Division Defensive Player of the Year.

As a shooting guard, this is a rare and supreme honor.

STO is very familiar with Mobley's past.

There is no way, who told him to be in the Rockets?

From Yao Mai to Spahn, the Rockets have no players that STO doesn't know.

...

Over there, Smith and Barkley had finished their quarrel.

Although I don't know who won, the air is full of joy.

On the screen, the Nets are constantly moving the ball.

Players move around the court quite frequently, picking and rolling each other.

Looks like Princeton's style of play.

The ball passed through Kidd's hands and passed to the left corner.

STO!

Standing here right now.

Through constant movement, Shentong got rid of the entanglement of the old cat.

He jumped up high and took action. Even if the old cat arrived at this time, he might not be able to do anything.

The ball passed through a very high parabola and hit!

This is a three-pointer.

3-1

Looks like a football score.

After scoring the goal, Shentong raised his hands.

Although the ball was stolen in the first possession, I was in very good shape today.

On the court, Francis loudly reminded Mobley, who was out of position on defense: "Hey, man, that guy is a shooter, don't be fooled by his bounce. We have Kevin inside, don't worry about him coming in, just keep in front of him."

, just don’t give him the space to raise his hand to shoot!”

Mobley nodded.

Shentong's ears moved.

Smith: "The advantages of this player in Shentong are very outstanding. He is a very good shooter and has rich outside offensive capabilities. As a shooting guard, he has the advantages of height and wingspan. One of his major advantages is that he does not occupy the ball.

Active ball movement can always find scoring opportunities. The shooting is simple and clear, without unnecessary movements, and the release point is high and not easily disturbed. At the same time, the mid-range shooting rate is also very good. Not only can it shoot three-pointers, but the assist-to-turnover ratio is very low.

The jumping and defensive performance are also good.”

Barkley: "It's just a three-pointer. In the NBA, a pure shooter has no future. Look at Peja. He can only shoot coldly from outside the three-point line. This is why the Kings have been unable to break through from the West.

The reason is that shooting can't kill your opponent."

Smith: "I think you seem to have a prejudice against Shentong. His dunks are very entertaining to watch."

Barkley shook his head and said, "But he hasn't earned my respect yet."

...

Francis made a layup to tie the score for the Rockets.

Although Kidd's defense is definitely top-notch at the point guard position, facing Francis who can run and jump well, the gap in Kidd's athletic ability is infinitely magnified.

Martin squeezed Griffin away from the basket and dunked.

Griffin fired back with a cold arrow from outside the three-point line.

Mark Lodge made a mistake while dribbling under the basket and hit his foot.

Cato's tip-in from close range was also blocked by the basket.

As soon as the game started, the players from both sides quickly got into shape.

...

Nine minutes into the first quarter, Shentong got the ball from the bottom corner.

Shaking his hands upward.

Mobley took off.

The concept of shooter makes Mobley mistakenly believe that the opponent will definitely shoot.

Shentong dribbled the ball straight to the basket.

Because the Nets' passing drives the defense, the Rockets are in a vacuum inside at this moment.

Taking off from the edge of the small penalty area.

Lift your feet, hold the ball with both hands under your feet, then suddenly raise your hands, face away from the basket, and dunk the ball in!

Fold the back buckle with both hands!

This is the dunk that Francis made in the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest.

But STO has done it in actual combat.

Martin and Shentong under the basket were like the North and South poles, involuntarily attracting each other and bumping into each other's chests.

The Nets' bench is even more of a mess.

Jefferson's whistle resounded throughout the court, and Scalabrine's towel was thrown like a wild wind.

So what if this is the home court of the Rockets?

We are now No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

"I heard you say I'm just a shooter?"

Shen Tong beeped as he ran past Mobley.

It seems like he has fully adapted to the NBA court culture.
Chapter completed!
