Chapter 337: Dumu

The Heat and 76ers are both top teams in the league, and they have been the two Lions kings in the East for the past two years.

And now, these two top teams are PK in the Wajovia Center Arena, like two super powerhouses in the final battle in the gladiatorial arena, which is eye-catching.

Sweat and shouts fill the pitch, and the clash of muscles will be a more appealing melody if you put aside the noisy crowd shouting.

The confrontation was particularly intense.

The Heat is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and under the leadership of LeBron, who brought talent to Miami in the past, the Heat have become the most powerful team in the East.

At the very beginning of the match between the two teams, there was a fierce confrontation under aggression.

Haslem pulled David West straight down in a positional defense and almost threw him to the ground without an arm. Iguodala cut into the palm of James' ball-hugging hand during a fast-break break to defend the Heat, and almost missed breaking the little emperor's fingers.

After half a quarter, the score between the two teams was only 11-9, and the 76ers led by a slight two points.

Less than three minutes into the first quarter, Wade went off the break. Subsequently, Sean Battier replaced Wade on the court, and James was freed from the dilemma of defending Tang Wenlong, after Tang Wenlong frantically attacked James, and the two of them were no less than ten one-on-one heads-ups, and the first quarter was just in the late stages.

As soon as he saw defensive expert Battier on the court, Tang Wenlong's eyes turned and he consciously reduced his individual singles.

Spoelstra was almost not the court, the 76ers' No. 1 was too cunning, and he had to put all the heavy responsibilities on both offensive and defensive ends on James's head, but as the head coach of the Heat, he had no way to stop such a conspiracy, and could only pray that James would go down to earth.

The two teams had wonderful attacks against each other, and the 76ers had the advantage in the positional battle, and the advantage was not particularly obvious. Haslem is not tall, but the defensive end is very fierce, David West feels cold, the 76ers' No. 4 attack point can not be opened, the two teams are always on the same starting line, and the point difference has been within 3 points, and even alternately rises most of the time.

It wasn't until the third quarter of the second half that the two teams entered a white-hot phase.

At 4:37 in the third quarter, James hit a tomahawk dunk on a fast break and scored the 20th point of the game, which was the first player to reach 20 points in the game, at which time the 76ers were tied with the Heat 67-67.

In the ensuing positional battle, Tang Wenlong was not to be outdone, and fell to a low position with his back to ask for the ball.

Lowry gave the ball to Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong grabbed the basketball with both hands, hunched his waist and feet, and there was a huge power hidden in James's steel-like dome arm between his waist.

Back-to-back singles James is not a good choice, Kobe Bryant at his peak once tried this, although he scored a few super difficult good shots, but the overall efficiency is not high.

Tang Wenlong might have tried it if he had Nowitzki's height, but for now, he turned around honestly.

Then the low hand is a tentative step breakthrough, a strong step that is not fancy but explosive.

Breaking through from James's left side, he cleverly controlled the basketball with his right hand, and then pulled back when he was almost near the baseline, and the basketball flew from his right hand to his crotch, bounced off the floor and handed it to his left hand.

Tang Wenlong brought his right hand together almost without thinking, and made a feint to worship the Buddha and shoot.

James' center of gravity was shaken, and in the next second, Tang Wenlong took a step back, then padded his toes, raised his chin slightly, raised his arm that was impossible to cover, and threw a backward jumper.

This series of feints is long, and it is only a matter of one or two seconds on the field.

The audience saw Tang Wenlong try to take two steps after James took a step, and then pulled back under his crotch, and Bai Buddha stepped back to jump, James also defended very well, and still clinged to Tang Wenlong.

The basketball simply passed through the heart with a "swish", rolling up a burst of white net flowers.

"It's Tang Wenlong's signature step-down jumper again, he has used the step-down to the extreme, and he can use this move to open up space whenever and wherever he wants." Yu Jia was amazed, and the step-back jumper has become a signature move of Tang Wenlong. He paused, and then continued: "An opponent like Tang Wenlong, who is tall and has long arms, can't let him shoot, and it is difficult for him to be prevented by himself. ”

The 76ers led by 2 points 69-67, and Tang Wenlong took the lead in the defense, staring at James who was advancing in front.

The 76ers' defensive strategy for James is a wheel battle, Iguodala, Tang Wenlong, including Jimmy Butler on the bench, the three take turns to play against James, and no matter which one of the three is, they are experts in defense, and James needs to use all means to break through the offense and connect the team.

It's so tiring.

Wade on the court saw that his lips were blue, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and silently put his hand on the faintly swollen and stinging knee, damn it, this is only the third quarter, and again

James only rested for one minute in the first three quarters, and he couldn't stay up in the fourth quarter, and when Spoelstra called a timeout, James was relieved, as if he had been fished out of the water, he was soaking wet, panting and sitting off the court, feeling like he was about to cramp.

There was no choice but to let James rest for three minutes.

And this is also the scene that the 76ers want to see the most.

Collins let the 76ers attack aggressively, and Lowry immediately assisted Ray Allen on a breakaway to complete a three-pointer to give the 76ers a five-point lead over the Heat 80-75.

The host said again that James can't go anywhere, and the Heat rely too much on his play.

Accustomed to being guided by one person, accustomed to receiving and projecting open balls on the offensive side of the court, and suddenly needing to participate in the overall attack, it is reasonable to be a little stiff and unaccustomed in an instant.

Fortunately, there is Wade, who left the break early in the third quarter, and is leading the team on the court at this time.

The 76ers also have Jimmy Butler, Tang Wenlong, Billups and Hassan Whiteside on the court, while Iguodala and the two starting interior players are resting.

Wade missed a jumper from the elbow area, and the rebound was grabbed by Whiteside.

Billups glowed like a second spring, speeding through the half-court, and then beckoned Tang Wenlong to come out and make a pick-and-roll for him.

Not to mention that Tang Wenlong is the core of the team, just like a gangster and locker room leader like Lups, he has to follow the rules to do whatever he wants.

So as soon as he saw that Big Brother was going to block and dismantle, he immediately ran over and made a block for Billups.

Tang Wenlong, who was not burly enough, had a mediocre blocking effect, getting a slight position lead over Loops, and then immediately passed Whiteside's second pick-and-roll.

At this time, Butler cut from the outside and ran to the basket, just with the help of Tang Wenlong's blocking.

Tang Wenlong's blocking and dismantling is particularly good, Battier was blocked by Tang Wenlong all of a sudden, and at this time it was Heat point guard Norris Kerr who changed to defend Tang Wenlong, who was blocked by Tang Wenlong's tall body, and he didn't see Butler already cutting into the air at all.

Wait until Battier's angry shout of "replenishment" sounds.

The basketball had gone over everyone's heads, across the entire halfcourt, and appeared near the left side of the basket.

Then, Jimmy Butler leaps high, connects the basketball with his dark and strong arms, and the big hand in the air presses down and slams the ball into the basket.

There was a loud "bang" (to be continued.) )
