Chapter 247: Equalization

Everyone knows that the highest individual single-game score in the playoffs is Michael Jordan's 63 points, but in fact, few people know that there are only a handful of superstars who have scored more than 50 points in a single game in the playoffs.

For example, Wade and James, who are opponents of the Heat, are both super-star stars, and they have also averaged more than 30 points per game in a single season. But in the playoffs, Wade only scored 46 points at the highest, just before Tang Wenlong entered the league in the summer of 10 years, against the Celtics in the G4 game. Looking at James's highest score in a single playoff game, it was earlier in 09, in the G1 game against the Magic, where he scored 49 points.

Scoring high scores sometimes depends on the right time and place, and if the game with the Heat is not overtime, Tang Wenlong will not get a career-high 52 points in a single playoff game, and makes his name suddenly surpass many active stars, such as Wade, James, Kobe, and Nowitzki, ranking in a very high position.

Tang Wenlong became the second-highest individual single-game scoring presence in the active playoffs, behind only Allen Iverson.

This is an epic blockbuster that can be written about, James nearly won the game with a key three-pointer of 4.1 seconds, and Tang Wenlong's three-pointer equalized the 76ers from the edge of the cliff. After the game, the NBA official took Tang Wenlong's equalizing whistle three-point as the top of the list of the top five balls and vigorously promoted it.

Tang Wenlong shot 18 of 29, 7 of 13 three-pointers, and 9 of 10 free throws, scoring 52 points, and grabbed 12 rebounds and handed out 7 assists, and his personal score was exactly half of the Heat's entire score. And the Heat are on this side. Wade had 28 points and seven assists. James had 39 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists. Bosh had just 15 points and seven rebounds. Wade is the soul of the team, he plays very hard, James performs impeccably, and the Big Three can only be blamed by the sad data Bosh, especially after Gasol Jr. on the opposite side grabbed 16 rebounds in the whole game, Bosh was even more criticized for being incomplete.

Some media joked that the dragon king Bosh was now a pitcher floating outside. It's no different from Bagyani, with almost zero rebounding ability.

But in fact, Bosh is the best co-fencer in the Heat's defensive front, and his strong mobility is the key to the entire Heat team being able to use rotation to defend, and is the defensive axis of the interior line, which greatly limits the breakthrough effect of Tang Wenlong and Iguodala.

Because they have to save, they are definitely not as good as Gasol and West, who are more able to get stuck in the position, and it is reasonable for the Heat to lose rebounds.

Tang Wenlong left the American Airlines arena contentedly, won the G3 game, and the 76ers regained home-court advantage. It was a crucial turning point for the entire series.

Meanwhile. The Thunder and Spurs in the West also finished Game 3.

On the home court of the Thunder, the young Oklahoma Man hit the Spurs head-on, leading the Spurs by 18 points at 78-60 at the end of the third quarter, Popovich gave up the game early, the Thunder won the Spurs 102-82 by a full 20 points, the highest score in the game was Durant, who scored 22 points, followed by the Thunder's blue-collar player Soflosa, who scored 19 points, as for Westbrook and James Harden, one 10 points, one 15 points, relying on defense to help the team win.

Tang Wenlong was taken aback when he looked at the technical statistics of the two teams, the others were okay, the Thunder contributed 14 steals in the whole game, while the Spurs only had 2! As a result, the Spurs made 21 turnovers, while the Thunder only had 7, in comparison, the Thunder, who had no solid routines, actually played more rigorously than the Spurs.

This is also the first time that the league has seen the legendary three-less single challenge, foreign media said that the Thunder have a total of three sets of tactics, Westbrook holds the ball and pulls away the singles; Durant holds the ball and pulls away the single; Harden holds the ball, pulls away the singles, and at most has one more blocking and dismantling tactic of shouting inside to come out to cover, which is simple and rude.

After two days of hustle and bustle, the 76ers and the Heat in the American Airlines arena played a G4 battle.

Spoelstra finally changed his starting line-up, with the chicken-ribbed Turyaf ditched for the burlier and more tonnage Joel Antony in the starting line-up, a change for Gasol. Gasol, who has an excellent card position and an amazing low post offensive efficiency, is too much for the Heat's weak interior killing.

This change really had a certain effect, although the inside Joel Anthony was also not inconspicuous, but it made Gasol and very uncomfortable, the two seven-foot big men really started to fight inside, and in less than 8 minutes, both of them received two fouls, which is good news for the Heat.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the 76ers 25-19 at home by 6 points, Tang Wenlong's hand was average, and after being defended by James with all his might, the efficiency was very low, only 2 of 7 shots, 6 points and 2 turnovers.

Tang Wenlong rested for two minutes and returned to the court in the second quarter, the 76ers were in a bad situation, and the bench couldn't prevent Wade's sudden score, and was hit two three-pointers in a row by the Heat. He hit a three-pointer to stop the declining 76ers.

But after all, it was just a drink to quench his thirst, and Collins knew in his heart the hidden danger of replacing Tang Wenlong on the court in advance, and it was very likely that he would be sluggish in the fourth quarter of the decisive battle.

"I'm in trouble." Collins clasped his arms in his hands and calmly watched the changes on the court.

By halftime, the 76ers trailed the Heat by 10 points 44-54, and Tang Wenlong scored 10 points in the second quarter, which would have been even greater if it weren't for his several morale-boosting goals.

Gasol was troubled by fouls, and James made a foul not long after the start of the second half, and the 76ers' box protection suddenly dropped a lot.

In this quarter, James and Wade frequently hit the basket, like waves crashing on the reef, and the offense was wave after wave without stopping.

In this quarter, the 76ers lost by 7 points, and the score difference stretched to 17 points.

The fans of the American Airlines Arena are happy, today's game is the Heat team they have seen this season, what 76ers, what league first, what MVP!

Tang Wenlong didn't rest, Collins simply put him on the court and started the fourth quarter directly, if he can turn the tables in half a quarter, then there is still a chance, if he can't turn the tables and the last half of the break is the same.

As a result, the Heat was more cautious than the 76ers, and Spoelstra saw that Tang Wenlong did not rest, so he simply let James not rest, anyway, James Steel Warrior has excellent physical strength.

After half a quarter, the difference did not narrow, and Collins replaced the tired Tang Wenlong from the field and gave up the game directly.

In the end, the game was over, the Heat won 104-90 against the 76ers by 14 points, James scored 27 points, Wade scored 29 points, and the two of them made a total of 25 free throws, and the 76ers' interior line was almost penetrated.

Tang Wenlong played 39 minutes, hit 10 of 24 shots, and scored a game-high 34 points, missing a great opportunity to get match points. (To be continued.) )
