Chapter 18: Shocking the Four
Many years later, people once again remembered Tang Wenlong's first appearance, which would be in such a friendly college match with no attention.
"Who is this?"
Georgetown University head coach John Thompson III was booed by the Syracuse University fans after seeing Tang Wenlong play, and he was puzzled. He was sure that he had never seen such a player in his previous Syracuse University player report, who looked like he was about six feet five or six inches, and he should be a shooting guard, right?
But on the contrary, Tang Wenlong personally took Wesley Johnson's serve, and then began to dribble forward!
"Hey, yellow-skinned guy, I've never seen you before!" Naturally, Tang Wenlong was on top of Robin, a scoring guard of Georgetown University's height and the same height as him, he was a white boy, but he was full of smooth trash talk, speaking at a very fast speed and in a strange tone, Tang Wenlong didn't understand it at all.
He babbled for a while, and when he saw that Tang Wenlong had no reaction, he was depressed, feeling as if he was talking to a cloud of air. Seeing Tang Wenlong take over the basketball, Robin had the heart to see what skills this new guy had on the court, so he bullied himself and pressed him.
"Huh!"
Tang Wenlong's natural and skillful crotch instantly changed the direction of the dribble, and he took a big step, like a ghost!
Robin was startled, he just threw himself forward, but the yellow-skinned guy in front of him was actually a very fast player, and the change of direction in an instant was really amazing, and he rushed to his side in the blink of an eye, and quickly led him by more than a position, and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Head coach John Thompson III was also taken aback, Tang Wenlong's change of direction speed after dribbling under the crotch just now was full of explosive power, and he, as a senior head coach, saw the mystery at a glance!
Robin chased Tang Wenlong to the front court, and finally re-established his defensive posture outside the three-point line.
"I mean, this guy dribbles so fast!" The Syracuse fans in the stands were first stunned, and then exploded.
Tang Wenlong had the heart to play a ball by himself, he stretched out his hand to let his teammates pull away, and Andy Rustin and Wesley Johnson, the two biggest Syracuse University players, opened up space for Tang Wenlong for the first time, and the other two inside players who didn't even make the draft prediction net were even more speechless, and honestly evacuated the paint area.
"Bang bang," "Bang bang!" ”
Tang Wenlong gradually bent down, and the basketball rhythmically swayed back and forth under his crotch. Robin didn't dare to underestimate the guy in front of him anymore, and didn't dare to reach out to break the ball.
Suddenly, Tang Wenlong's right shoulder sank, his head shook, and his right foot took a big step, as if he was about to break through to the right direction!!
Robin reacted to it, and good training can only ensure that he instinctively shifts his center of gravity at the first time!
Tang Wenlong pulled back the basketball, and quickly made a back and forth movement in front of his body, and the sound rate of the two "pops" hitting the floor was extremely fast, Robin barely packed his center of gravity back, but at this moment, the coordination of the whole body had dropped to the freezing point!
At this time, Tang Wenlong really broke through, with a flick of his wrist, within the range of the wrist flip violation, his body maintained an angle to the floor obliquely, and easily broke through from the right side of Robindi! The chic touch of the No. 9 jersey is simply amazing!
Pseudo-fans only know that Tang Wenlong made two crotch and feints, and the defenders seemed to have given up on defense, watching Tang Wenlong break through the past, who knew that there were still so many changes in it!
Tang Wenlong easily entered the forbidden area of Georgetown University, and in front of him was Monroe, the guardian of the forbidden area like a giant spirit god!
"Come on, baby!" Monroe shouted, took a small step forward, and leaked domineeringly!
Tang Wenlong's eyes widened, and he saw that Monroe also broke off, stepped on Monroe, took a step in front of Monroe, flew up against him, and held the basketball in the sky with one hand, as if to detain him!
"What is he going to do?" The fans' heads exploded, and their pupils suddenly dilated.
"Boom!" Tang Wenlong leaned sideways in the air, his long arms avoided Monroe's block, his waist and abdomen straightened, and after making contact with Monroe's body in the air, he smashed on the basket!
Tang Wenlong fell to the ground, and the huge impact made his body a little unstable, and he staggered a few steps forward.
The referee, Coach Jim, the basketball players on the bench at Syracuse University, and the nearly 1,000 Syracuse spectators in the stadium all stared at the teenager who had rushed out of the bottom line, forgetting to breathe and speak.
A second later, the audience erupted in cheers that were enough to tear over the roof of the arena, and everyone roared in a heartless manner, and some people held their heads, thinking that they must have opened it in the wrong way.
Monroe's head was a little confused, "I was actually deducted by an inexplicable stinky boy?" The basketball rolled to his feet, he was stunned, and then his dark face flushed a faint red, and he quickly ran to the baseline to send the basketball out, hoping to make people forget this part immediately.
However, Tang Wenlong's mortal posture has already been deeply reflected in the hearts of everyone present, how can it be so easy for people to forget?
"Who is this?" Georgetown University head coach John Thompson III asked a question for the second time, and his eyes clearly revealed the incredible, where did Jim find such a hot bouncing man? And what makes him even more envious is that Tang Wenlong has both good basic dribbling skills and that amazing momentum that makes people retreat!
Tang Wenlong's dunk greatly boosted the morale of the Syracuse University players, Wesley Johnson and other four people were excited, when it comes to the strength of the court, Wesley Johnson is no worse than Greg Monroe, especially when the ball is in the hands of Tang Wenlong, the three outside lines of Syracuse University are obviously stronger than the outside line of Georgetown University, Wesley Johnson has greatly exerted his athletic talent and defensive ability, forcing Georgetown University to make low-level mistakes on the outside line one after another!
Syracuse University took the opportunity to play a wave of shockwaves from the fast offensive stream, closing the score 22-27!
Coach John Thompson III called a timeout, and Georgetown University players walked back to the bench dejectedly, and even Monroe frowned, clearly depressed. It's no wonder that even if the clay figure is deducted by someone, he must be very unhappy in his heart, and he has a faint anger.
"Coach, who's that guy?" Monroe's first sentence on the court asked all the Georgetown University players in the room what they thought.
"Ahem" Coach John Thompson III almost choked on his own saliva, he coughed awkwardly, thinking to himself, am I going to tell you that I don't know what that kid is all about?
He turned pale and scolded loudly: "Bastard, does it matter who this guy is? ”
"I know it's just a normal collegiate friendly and it doesn't affect our results in the tournament, but it's the best moment for us to practice. No one wants to accept defeat, and Syracuse University, which has lost many of its main players, has plummeted, and if we can't even win against their remnants, how can we qualify to compete in the national championship? Do you want to go back to your college days and see the disappointed eyes of the fans? ”
Coach John spoke quickly, and his words had a certain effect, and the Georgetown University players gradually forgot about Tang's shocking dunk and returned to the game.
Once you put your mind into the game, Georgetown University, which has been running in for a longer time, is still very strong, especially Monroe, who is holding back his anger, and he gives what he wants on the inside, and soon beat the two inside lines of Syracuse University, and Coach Jim can only helplessly send a substitute insider. With a large number of free throws, Georgetown University led Syracuse University by five points at halftime, 34-29.
People are still discussing Tang Wenlong's dunk, which is no less powerful than the NBA's top ten daily balls. Some of them already knew his name, and some of them also began to know Tang Wenlong's name after questioning: "Tang, Tang of Chinatown, very easy to remember!" ”
At halftime, Tang Wenlong received a welcome from the players on the bench at Georgetown University, some touched his head, some hammered his chest, and his performance began to make everyone begin to recognize Tang Wenlong's strength.
"Very well done!"
Coach Jim patted Tang Wenlong's buttocks, and what he saw was that in the next few minutes of the first half, Tang Wenlong easily passed the opposing defender Robin like a stake, and although he only scored 4 points in the end, he sent many wonderful passes. This shows that Tang Wenlong is actually still a team-oriented player, at least when he first entered the team, he was able to focus on others and know how to advance and retreat, which reflects his good basketball IQ.
