The Fifth Point Guard

At the end of the first half, the Nets were only 4 points behind the Wizards 47-51.

Although Shentong's performance was not as explosive as in the second quarter of the previous game, it was still remarkable. He contributed 8 points, hit 2 three-pointers, and had 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The most important thing is that Shentong's outside three-pointer opened up the Wizards' defensive area, allowing Martin and Jefferson to also obtain sufficient scoring space.

If it wasn't for that person, I'm afraid the Nets would have overtaken the score in the first half.

But no way, Jordan scored 13 points in the first half.

Whenever the Nets wanted to overtake, Jordan immediately extinguished the momentum with a score.

Fortunately, Shentong's foul control is not bad, only 2 times.

"I didn't expect that Michael, who is 38 years old, can still play like this." Jefferson sighed with emotion while sipping his drink.

In the first half, Jefferson had a layup that was blocked by Jordan.

"Shen, you go first in the second half." Scott suddenly found Shen Tong.

Shen Tong was taken aback, what's the matter?

"Corey's ankle seems to be a little swollen again. You will play first in the second half."

Shen Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Jefferson.

The other party cast envious eyes.

It is of course a good thing to be able to play first in the second half, which means that he is already in the ranks of candidates for the starting lineup.

But in this way, wouldn't it be possible to form a dislocation with Jordan.

The difficulty of completing the task has increased a lot.

But Shentong quickly figured it out.

The team is still behind, and I am always struggling with the task.

This kind of thinking is too dangerous.

The bigger picture matters.

The task can not be completed, but the ball must be won!

The second half restarted.

To Shentong's surprise, Kwame Brown and Jordan also played first in the second half.

It seems that although he did not serve as the starter, Jordan's strong desire to win still made him change his way of thinking about playing.

The Nets took the lead in attacking.

Kidd breaks inside and hands the ball to Martin.

Heywood and Brown immediately formed a blockade.

Facing two big men above 2.10 meters, Martin, who is only 2.06 meters tall, seemed a little powerless.

But the title of No. 1 pick is not for nothing.

Martin "chuck, boom, boom", squeezed into the penalty area, pretending to hit the inside, but suddenly gave the ball to Mark Lodge who cut in.

Mark Lodge layup directly after receiving the ball.

This is a wonderful combination of inside pass and inside pass.

"Get out!"

There was a roar from the basket.

Brown turned around flexibly and blocked Mark Lodge's layup.

Kwame Brown, who played at the same time as Jordan in the first half, has scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks.

This guy feels different from the performance in that time and space.

Especially the dominance at the basket is very similar to the mature "Little Shark" Bynum of the Lakers back then.

At least, there is such potential.

But this is also normal.

Parallel time and space.

It is understandable that some things are different.

Just like the day of September 11th.

The blocked ball did not go out of bounds.

Shen Tong, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, picked up the ball and made a three-pointer against Jordan.

The resoluteness and decisiveness of the shooting made Jordan forget about defense for a while.

Watching Shentong throw the ball.

"brush"

11 points!

Shentong scored in double figures.

Smith: "Shen's shooting is really accurate, and Wang Zhizhi, an inside player from China, also has a long-range shot."

Barkley: "Oh, Shin actually played first in the second half, what's going on?"

Smith flipped through the information in his hand.

"Looks like Corey Kiddles hurt his ankle again."

Barkley's eyes lit up.

"Oh? My only worry is that my mouth can't speak. It's just a small thing for me to hurt my feet. At the same time, I have something to say about protecting my ankles."

Barkley took out a pair of sneakers from the audience.

"Here's my new shoe. It's absolutely fine. But if you put it on, you won't be rich like me, rebound like me, or be handsome like me. ...you just wear the same shoes as me, protect your ankles, that's all."

Smith: "."

Although Barkley suddenly promoted his sneakers during the live broadcast, it was a bit out of order, but in fact Barkley's ankle was never injured.

Shentong just made a three-pointer, and here Jordan hit Shentong with his back.

turn around.

Fadeaway jumper.

Still picturesque.

"When~~"

Missed the shot!

"Foul! He fouled!"

Before landing, Jordan shouted loudly.

When blocking Jordan's shot, Shen Tong did feel as if he slightly touched Jordan's wrist.

But only for a moment, it is impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Drip~~Drip~~"

The referee's whistle actually rang!

Obviously much slower than the usual whistle.

Shen Tong, Kidd, Martin and others immediately stepped forward and gathered around the referee to ask for an explanation.

But the referee shook his head and signaled everyone to get out of the way.

Shen Tong was a little depressed.

Is a body hair foul a foul?

The referee made a gesture to the technical table for the Nets' No. 25 foul and Jordan made two free throws.

Jordan was still chattering behind the referee.

"He fouled, hit my hand, definitely a foul."

The referee turned around, leaned against Jordan, and said with adoring eyes: "Michael, although I didn't see him committing a foul, I absolutely believe you, this is a foul."

Shen Tong's ears moved.

This bitch is okay?

This is the legendary star whistle?

Jordan clapped his hands, expressing his appreciation for the referee's penalty.

But Shentong was a little upset and fouled 3 times.

"I didn't expect, Michael, that players still have the right to call fouls." Shen Tong said unconvinced.

Jordan stands at the free throw line preparing for a free throw.

"Rookie, there are many things you don't know. Maybe you will understand when you reach my level."

"Really? Why do I feel that I have surpassed you in some respects?"

Jordan was taken aback, and looked at Shen Tong with sharp eyes.

"For example?"

Shen Tong didn't change his face: "If I remember correctly, someone still holds the record for three-pointers in the All-Star Game."

"when"

Jordan's first free throw was missed.

Kidd and Martin couldn't help thinking: "This kid really dares to speak."

In the All-Star three-point contest in the 89-90 season, Jordan broke a record, but this record is very embarrassing-the lowest score in the All-Star three-pointer.

All 30 shots made 5 goals, ranking first in history.

This is one of Jordan's few black spots.

Don't want anyone to mention it either.

But unexpectedly, this black spot of his was brought up by a rookie who is good at shooting three-pointers.

"Let's wait until you win the three-pointer championship in the All-Star Game."

The second free throw was made.

50-52

Jordan's defense against Shentong is very tight.

Smith: "I don't know what happened after the foul just now, but Michael seems to be serious."

Barkley was also a little surprised, saying: "Michael rarely does this to a rookie."

Smith: "When was the last time Jordan took a rookie this seriously?"

Barkley thought for a while: "It seems to be after being shaken by Allen Iverson."

As soon as the words fell, Shentong stepped down the outside line and dribbled continuously, making fake moves.

Then start, stop suddenly, and shoot at a high position!

Jordan, who was fully defending, seemed to be a thug when he was blocking the shot!

The referee hesitated for a moment, but still blew the whistle.

At the moment the whistle sounded, the ball hit the board and went into the basket!

2+1!

The Nets' bench exploded instantly!
