The Fifth Point Guard

The best lineup of the men's basketball team for the Athens Olympic Games was released, and Yao Ming and Shuntong were selected at the same time.

Center: Yao Ming (China)

Forwards: Scola (Argentina), Pau Gasol (Spain)

Defenders: Shentong (China), Manu Ginobili (Argentina)

After finishing his journey to the Olympics, Shentong returned to his home in Arizona and spent a short period of wonderful leisure time with Lao Shen, Hua Jie and Shen Qing.

But soon, a phone call from David Falcao interrupted STO's vacation.

"Hello"

On the opposite side of the microphone, Falcao's familiar drake voice reached STO's ears along the wireless transmission without attenuation.

"What's going on?"

While listening to the phone, Shen Tong stared blankly at the beautifully made-up elder sister Shen Qing who was sitting at the dressing table. Shen Qing inserted the index finger of her left hand between the big toe and the second toe, rubbed it up and down, and then picked it up naturally. I put it in front of my nose and smelled it, looking like I was enjoying it very much.

"It's an ad for Adidas. My brother, Uncle Drew Season 2 is coming out."

"Yeah?"

Shentong was overjoyed that he could pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger again.

"However." Shen Tong raised his doubts, "Did our first season become too popular? Is there anyone in the United States who doesn't know about Uncle Drew?"

"Yes, Adidas has thought of this a long time ago, so this time Uncle Drew's trip will be held in South America."

"Whoa, South America? Where?"

"Brazil."

After losing to Argentina twice in the Olympics, Shuntong also developed a strong interest in South American basketball.

Their style of play and footwork are unique, and they often perform unexpectedly.

So although he went not to Argentina, but to neighboring Brazil, Shen Tong, who had "historical experience", knew that the Brazilian men's basketball team is also a world-class basketball team.

After Shentong and Falcao agreed on a time to meet and some matters, they hung up the phone.

Opposite, Shen Qing was fully dressed and ready to go out.

"Sister, are you going out on a date dressed up so beautifully?"

Shen Qing had a rare blush on her face, and she replied seriously: "That's right."

After saying that, Shen Qing hung her bag on her wrist and went out with a dignified appearance.

"Sister Hua——"

"Huh? Son, what happened if it was so loud?"

"What's going on with my sister? Someone actually asked her out? Who is so blind?"

"Boom"

Sister Hua hit Shentong on the forehead with a rolling pin and said, "What are you talking about? Your sister is so beautiful and outstanding. I just hate that the boys around her are so blind. No one has asked her out until now."

Shen Tong rubbed his head and muttered in a low voice: "What? It's not that you have been strict since childhood because you were afraid that my sister would fall in love prematurely."

"What are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing. By the way, who asked my sister out?"

Sister Hua thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a boy named Li Sixuan. Your sister and you are Harvard alumni. I heard that your sister has a good personality and has been asking her out recently, so I agreed to go out on a date with him."

"oh"

On September 9, 2004, nine days before the end of the Olympic men's basketball schedule, STO went to New York to join the Adidas team and take an international flight to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.

They then transferred to a domestic flight in Brazil and headed to Rio de Janeiro, the destination of Uncle Drew’s trip.

Rio de Janeiro, also known as "January River" in Portuguese, has a savanna climate with high temperatures all year round.

Drew chose Rio de Janeiro for his trip because this city is not only an important gateway to Brazil and even South America, but also one of the most economically developed regions in Brazil and South America. It is known as an important transportation hub in Brazil and an important hub for information, communication, tourism, culture, Known as a financial and insurance center.

Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city in Brazil, after Sao Paulo. It is also known as the second capital of Brazil and a famous international metropolis.

Here is the Maracana Stadium, the largest stadium in the world.

The seaside scenery is beautiful and it is a famous tourist attraction in South America.

After two days of rest and preparation in Rio de Janeiro, the Adidas team and STO headed collectively to the southern district of the city.

This covers the entire beach line of the city.

The Southern District is a famous sports resort and is also home to the football stadium Marajana. This stadium was once the stadium with the largest capacity in the world and also hosted the World Cup in 1950.

Along the way, the buildings Shentong saw most were churches.

The local tour guide told Shentong that there are many historic churches here, such as the Candelaria Church, the Old Rio Cathedral and the modern Rio Cathedral.

After driving for about half an hour, the large group arrived at the designated location for the shooting, an open-air court on the beach not far from the shantytown.

Although it is close to the seaside, it is not affected by wind and sand due to its high foundation.

There is only one full venue, surrounded by barbed wire, leaving only one entrance and exit gate.

Although the venue is relatively simple, the surrounding area is full of spectators watching the game.

Many hot beauties wearing bikinis who had just finished swimming stood on the sidelines without any scruples, allowing other men to feast their eyes on them.

After dressing up in the hotel, Shentong walked into the venue "tremblingly", inserted himself into the crowd, and squeezed to the front to watch the game.

When those young people saw Shentong's white hair, no one cared about him due to his status as an old man.

The Adidas photography team had already found the best shooting location and pointed the camera at Shentong, who was inconspicuous in the crowd.

There is a game going on on the court at the moment.

Both sides are muscular and tall.

Compared with the street courts in the United States, there are obviously fewer white people here. As far as the eye can see, almost all are black and strong bodies and muscles.

Shentong looked at it for a moment, and realized that these guys could be considered experts even among amateurs.

Accompanied by bursts of screams, a short-haired young man in a blue shirt made a beautiful turn and passed the guy defending him, then hit the ball to the backboard, jumped up, caught the rebounding basketball with both hands, and dunked hard. Get into the basket!

"Daniel, great job!"

"I knew you would win."

"I've made money again. Let's go have a drink tonight."

As the young man known as Daniel came down from the basket, the five players on the opposite side shook their heads and left the court. Before one of them left, he took out a sum of money from his pocket and threw it into what seemed to be a live DJ. in the top hat.

After the DJ collected the money, he picked up the microphone, and a loud voice came from the inferior speakers hanging at the four corners of the stadium: "Let us congratulate the 'Death' team for winning again! Those who bet correctly can go to the side with their numbers to redeem their bonuses! "

Some people cheered loudly at the scene, while others spat.

"How about it? Is there any other team here that wants to challenge?"

As soon as DJ finished speaking, a group of people squeezed out from the crowd.

"Let's try it."
