Chapter 522: Shentong's famous scene of stepping on the ball

In the post-Marlon Stockton era, the team is eager to find a new pick-and-roll duo.
This is a kind of obsession of the team.
It's as if the Houston Rockets are very keen to find a tall center.
Even with outside combinations like Francis and Mobley, the Houstonians have never forgotten their "tradition."
So when Sloan thought Boozer could be dug, the Jazz took a lot of effort to "steal" Boozer from Cleveland to Utah.
Here, Boozer kept his beard.
His CIC and personal image are indeed somewhat similar to Karl Malone's back then.
It's just that the current Arroyo does not fit Sloan's point guard role.
The point guard he hopes is a player who shoots steadily, mainly assists, and is keen on pick-and-rolls, not a nerve knife like Arroyo.
So far, Boozer is the core of the team's key cultivation.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why he came here for free transfer.
Even Kirilenko, who played the brightest in the Jazz last season, had to give up the team's top spot.
...
Boozer's play style is a little different from last season when he played for the Cavaliers.
His low post singles have become alike.
There is no doubt that this must be Sloan's role.
Back hitting Gooden, Boozer easily smashed his opponent away to gain shooting space.
Lean back slightly and drag the ball above the head.
Boozer showed his signature shooting posture and shot the ball steadily.
After the goal, Boozer opened his hands and kept raising them, indicating that the cheering and cheering on the scene would be louder.
From this goal alone, Shentong knew that Boozer had indeed improved.
Gooden, who is relatively thin, is not an opponent of the muscular Boozer in physical confrontation.
...
On the Jazz's side, Bell is pressing close.
When in Philadelphia, he saw with his own eyes how Iverson used a height of 1.83 meters against a group of tall and mighty men.
It was also there that Bell developed a tough and unyielding character.
After scoring 10 points on 4 of 6 shots in 9 minutes of appearance in 2001, Bell began to change.
After winning the Eastern Conference championship for the Philadelphia 76ers, Bell joined the Mavericks to help the team reach the Western Conference Finals.
After that, Bell came to the Jazz, the fourth team in four years.
Here, Bell has gained the trust of Sloan, his performance has improved in all aspects, and he has become a trusted defender on the outside of the Jazz.
Bell bends his right hand and presses his elbow against Shen Tong's back, while his left hand is fully open, constantly probing forward, wanting to steal the ball at any time.
But at this time Shentong's dribble is not when he first entered the league.
When Bell reached out to try to steal, Shen Tong felt the change of the opponent's center of gravity through his back, and immediately turned to the right, flashing Bell's defense in an instant.
There is still 2 meters away from the basket, and Shentong has taken off!
He knows that none of the Jazz's two insiders have any jumping ability.
So Shentong took off early and wanted to complete a dunk directly from the air!
Just when Wagner stretched out his hands to celebrate, Shen Tong suddenly felt a shadow behind him.
Then, a big hand was pressed on Shentong's ball!
Look sideways.
It's Kirilenko!
Shentong ignored the Russian all-rounder.
Wagner's face is solemn, and James is ready to rush to grab the first spot...
Just when everyone thought Kirilenko gave Shentong a big hat, something surprising happened.
Shentong actually controlled the basketball hit by Kirilenko with both hands, and then violently slammed the ball into the basket!
Kirilenko is really too thin, and his ability to fight in the air is not at all an opponent of "China's Small Steel Cannon" Shentong.
Amid the exclamation of the home fans, Shen Tong bowed his body and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands. Behind him was Kirilenko who lost his center of gravity in the air.
"Crack."
A photographer caught this picture!
This photo is enough to make headlines today, and it can definitely sell for a good price.
As for Kirilenko from the home team, who cares.
...
After the goal, Shentong regressed.
He raised his chin and looked at Kirilenko, who was pulled up from the floor by Boozer and Okur, as if the overlord was clinging to the courts.
Originally thought it was a big hat, but it was a big pit, Kirilenko was angry!
On the offensive end, he relied on a shoehorn face... and a slender figure to cut from the outside line. As a result, Boozer scored the ball and dunked to the basket with one hand.
Armspan like an octopus.
The basket is close at hand.
Kirilenko intends to use all his strength in this ball as a response to the ball just now.
"Roar-...!"
Just halfway through the roar, before the command of strength could be transmitted from the brain to the arm, a palm of one hand instantly slapped the ball into the air!
It's James.
This guy directly sent the big cap and slapped Kirilenko's ball on the backboard.
Shen Tong jumped to catch the rebounding rebound, and the Cavaliers immediately switched from defensive to offensive.
Cross down the dribble without stopping.
This is Derrick Rose's non-deceleration change!
Facing Bell and Arroyo, Shentong threw the ball to the basket.
Arroyo's first reaction was: James? He didn't keep up with this fast break!
Bell watched the ball being thrown high, gave up the defense, stood still and watched the direction of the ball.
In sight, a little man stood up from the ground.
One hundred percent best boy, Da Juan Wagner!
Raise high with one hand, grab the ball in the air, and then dunk into the basket with one hand!
The ball caused a burst of exclamation at the scene.
Wagner at 1.88 meters actually completed an aerial relay with Shentong.
Oku looked at it from a distance, feeling touched in his heart.
After all, the height of the ball just now was beyond the reach of his life.
As a 2.11m inside, this is really embarrassing...
Wagner was excited after scoring. He pointed at a beautiful woman on the sidelines and said loudly: "The Cavaliers have more than Shentong, and I'm Da Juan Wagner!"
James touched his chin, looked at Wagner, who was twisting his ass, and muttered: "This kid is a little bit overwhelmed, don't you know who is the second child of the team?"
As for the little beauty of about 10 years old, she put her elbows on her knees and smiled. She didn't seem to dislike Wagner's pointing to herself just now.
"Dad, is this the very promising team you said? It is indeed a very passionate and young team. I like them very much."
Jeff Hornacek, sitting next to the little beauty, said: "Hey, Abby, although I like this team very much, we are at the Energy Solutions Arena tonight, and we still have to have a stand."
"OK, hey, the one named Da Juan, behave well!"
"..."
Seemingly hearing Abby Hornacek's cheering, Wagner searched for the direction of the sound excitedly.
When it was discovered that the voice was shouting from a 10-year-old girl, Wagner's excited expression immediately disappeared.
"Hey, Da Juan, there is a little beauty cheering you on," James reminded.
Wagner shook his head vigorously, and replied in an angry tone: "It's just a little girl who is still sucking her breasts. It is estimated that she will only be 10 or 11 this year..."
James seemed to say to himself: "But she is already a beauty, and Shentong's fiancée Nina Dobrev has just turned 16 years old."
James' words brought Wagner's smile back to his face.
Perhaps the seeds of happiness germinated at this moment?
The single Wagner couldn't help but imagine that when he reached the top a few years later, marrying a beautiful girl like Dubrov like Shentong, that was also a pretty good arrangement.
But in the next moment, Wagner's illusions were shattered.
"Shentong, come on!"
Shen Tong, who had just completed a breakthrough dunk, ran from the sidelines and glanced at the little girl cheering for herself.
Little beauty? !
do not know.
...
In the first half, the entire rhythm was in the hands of the Cavaliers.
The score at halftime was 60-47, with the Cavaliers leading by 13 points away.
Shentong's scoring momentum this season has not diminished, and scored 25 points in the first half!
Of course, Shentong, who played with the mission, couldn't be careless.
But to his surprise, the Jazz did not perform as well as before.
...
In the third quarter of the second half, the situation on the court changed suddenly.
Jerry Sloan deserves to be an old coach. After experiencing a headwind in the first half, the Jazz changed their tactics in the second half.
They used Raja Bell and Kirilenko to double-team defense against Shentong.
Even though Shentong often dribbles the ball with both hands to break the pressure, today the pressure is too tight.
Even the connection between Shentong and other players was completely blocked.
After losing the mainstay, the Cavaliers began to lose strength on the offensive end.
The Jazz played a 12-2 climax, and soon the score was approaching and even once equalized!
In the cheering of the home fans, the Cavaliers began to face pressure.
Fortunately, Reggie Miller on the bench brought fire support to the team, and his two consecutive three-pointers stabilized the military.
Varejao also brought energy and passion to the team, as well as a desire to perform...
At the end of the three quarters, the Cavaliers only led the Jazz by 7 points.
Everything is still full of suspense.
In the fourth quarter, Shentong broke out!
After getting the ball, Shentong first dribbled the ball through the crotch and dropped Bell, and then drifted sideways while running, hitting a very difficult two-pointer under the influence of Kirilenko's blocking.
Then, Shentong singles Kirilenko succeeded in the same place three times in a row.
The first ball, dribbling the ball from Kirilenko's back, dribbled the ball from the left hand to the right hand while turning around and hitting a jumper.
For the second ball, he stepped down and dribbled repeatedly while moving forward. Kirilenko took off suddenly while Kirilenko was gradually backing up, and he made a jumper on dry land.
For the third ball, Shentong made a fake shot. Because of the "experience" of the first two goals, Kirilenko jumped to block without hesitation, but it was actually a fake.
Shen Tong easily passed the "Russian Shield" that the Jazz is proud of and made a layup before the Jazz players made up for defense.
These three consecutive singles scores at the same position left Kirilenko's face dull, but his confidence was also destroyed.
The last inch of Jazz's fig leaf was ripped off.
Shentong, James, and Wagner even sang a song mischievously.
Shen Tong: "My goal is often open, as you want to score as many as you want."
James: "One or two are welcome, no matter how much you can afford to lose."
Wagner: "The world is mostly friends, please don't be polite."
Shen Tong: "Don't mind if you get less, I'll replenish you next time."
Full of the knight teasing true nature.
Since these three people deliberately sang to the Jazz players on the sidelines during the timeout, Abby Hornacek, who was sitting on the sidelines, heard it very clearly.
"Puff..."
Although he had received professional training from his father Jeff Hornacek, Abby was still amused by the three amusing styles and couldn't help but laugh.
Old Jeff suffocated his daughter speechlessly.
Hey hey hey, this is the home court of the Jazz, do you want dad to be embarrassed?
...
With 13 seconds left before the game, the Cavaliers led the Jazz by 16 points, 107-91.
The outcome has been divided.
Shentong also completed the task.
In addition, this is the home of the Jazz, so the Cavaliers do not intend to make a final attack.
However, just when Shentong dribbled the ball from behind to cross the center line, Bell unexpectedly broke Shentong's ball and broke through to the basket in the eyes of everyone's astonishment.
Maybe it was the basket that couldn't stand it, but Bell's layup turned around the basket and came out again.
After Big Z grabbed the rebound, he threw it back to the dissatisfied Shentong.
This time, the famous scene came...
I thought that Shentong would use the other way to return the body, and then attack another one at the end.
Who knew that after receiving the ball, Shentong placed the ball directly on the floor, and then stepped on the ball with his foot, his back was straight, and his eyes looked directly at Bell who missed the layup.
The sharp eyes and the domineering domineering over the world made Bell too weak to fight, so he could only pretend not to see, and walked directly to the sidelines, waiting for the whistle of the end of the game.
"Dad, this guy named Shen Tong is really amazing. With this action alone, his whole body reveals an amazing domineering attitude."
Please help me, [Mimi Reading App] can steal book tickets like stealing food. Come steal the book tickets of your friends and vote for me.
Jeff Hornacek said: "Abby, your father's vision can't be wrong. The next ten years will definitely belong to his era~EbookFREE.me~ Hornacek with a small mouth Looking at Shen Tong's back blankly, I didn't know what was thinking in my little head.
...
"Didi---"
In the very awkward atmosphere of the home court, the final whistle finally sounded.
The Jews including Jerry Sloan let out a sigh of relief.
The last few seconds were too difficult.
This game also allowed Sloan to re-examine Bell.
This guy may be more suitable for the sixth man on the team.
...
At the press conference after the game, someone raised the issue of the last step on the ball in the Shentong game.
Reporter: "Excuse me, what happened in the last 13 seconds, can you tell you something?"
Shen Tong: "I thought everyone had reached a tacit understanding and the game was over, but Raja might not think so. He completed a wonderful steal and then shot wide under a very strong defense. Big Z grabbed the rebound. , I responded by stepping on the ball with my foot."
Reporter: "Can you talk about Carlos Boozer? It is said that you are very dissatisfied with his departure."
At this moment, Shentong showed the temperament and mind of the team boss.
"I can't talk about dissatisfaction. I just think that since everyone has fought together before, then even if you leave, you should say hello instead of leaving silently. Carlos performed well today. He is here. A wide space can be used. My point of view has never changed. If we have the same goals, then we can join forces. If everyone has aspirations, then we will meet at the top. Good luck to him."
Boozer, who scored 20 points and 9 rebounds in the game, saw Shen Tong's speech in the locker room and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
I seem to be doing something wrong...
