Chapter 184: Evenly Divided?

As soon as Tang Wenlong came on the court, the 76ers found the core of the tactics.

In the face of the defense of rookie player Iman Shambaugh, after Tang Wenlong received the ball at 50 degrees on the outside, he directly dribbled and broke through in one step, the pace of the first step was big and fast, and Shambaugh had no time to defend at all.

After one step passed the rookie, the Knicks immediately had someone to shrink the bag, Tang Wenlong dribbled and stopped, and chose a jump shot in one and a half steps inside the three-point line.

Hit! That's 13 points from his own game.

At this time, the 76ers chased the score to 38 for the first time in the second quarter on the court, and Butler's excellent defense against Douglas just now was the main reason why the 76ers were able to tie it.

In the Knicks positional battle, Silly Jr. pulled out the horn area to catch the ball, took a tentative step against Speights, and tapped the sky to make a shooting feint. As soon as everyone pulled away, he immediately leaned over to break through, and after two consecutive steps, he broke through Speights's defense, and the footsteps of the two people were not of the same level.

Xiao Si broke through to the basket, supported his long arm, and before Hawes arrived, he made a low basket and hit! 40 to 38.

Xiao Si's current form is still very good, he was able to contribute an average of 20+ points per game last season, and the mid-range jumper he developed was a big killer.

The 76ers attacked, and Tang Wenlong was given the ball again.

As the leading player of the top NBA team, he is also the core of the perimeter, and an indispensable tactic when attacking with the ball, the difference is that sometimes he wants to hold the ball and sometimes he wants to play without the ball.

Hawes immediately ran out to do a pick-and-roll for Tang Wenlong, he was large, and the effect of doing a pick-and-roll was much better than Speights's.

Tang Wenlong holds the ball in one hand. The free left hand blocked Shambaut with a covert movement. Suddenly dribbling the ball behind the back. Instead of using Speights to block and dismantle, the whole person broke through in the opposite direction.

The feints were virtual and real, and the changes were too late for Shambaugh to react, Tang Wenlong broke through him cleanly, and the Knicks immediately attracted the contraction of the Knicks' overall lineup, and he made a long-distance pass to Butler, who was empty on the outside, and Butler caught the basketball. Jumper three-pointer.

His three-point shooting was not accurate, and he only smashed the rim when no one was defending, and after popping up, Xiao Si tapped twice to control the rebound.

The Knicks are fast attacking, but Butler and others are very fast, and there is no chance for Douglas to wait for all the Knicks players to come over on the outside.

He and Xiao Si made a blockade, and the flowing wind blew across his face, giving him the illusion that he was Nash.

hit the ground and distributed it to Xiao Si, and Tang Wenlong killed it diagonally. The big hand lightly slapped the basketball, and rushed to the court with a cigarette. At this time, Douglas and Smalls were both working on the 76ers' basket and couldn't contain their inertia.

Tang Wenlong rushed to the front court alone, looked back and saw that the Knicks gave up the defense, ran to the basket and jumped easily, and made a reverse 360-degree slam dunk! 40 to 40.

This dunk boosted the morale of the 76ers players, sometimes morale is invisible but real, he can stimulate the athlete's adrenaline surge, and even make people forget fatigue temporarily!

D'Antoni sensed something was wrong, so he asked for a timeout, which was to be forced anyway.

Completing such a violent dunk made the 76ers players very excited, Louis Williams ran over and jumped, and Tang Wenlong came to celebrate with a passionate chest collision, but unfortunately this is the home court of the Knicks, otherwise it will definitely cause even more cheers.

Coming back from the timeout, Anthony and Chandler were both back on the court.

The 76ers also replaced Lowry and Gasol and others, Gasol was fouled twice, and when he came on the court, Coach Collins instructed him not to foul again, and if he fouled again, he had to shorten the playing time in the second half.

Tang Wenlong is excited to be able to defend Anthony alone, his defense has improved greatly this season, Anthony is known as the most comprehensive offensive player in the NBA since Pierce, and if he can beat him one-on-one on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, it will be the best proof of self-worth for himself.

It's just that Anthony is difficult to defend, and today's hand feels good, and the two of them can only be regarded as half a pound and eight taels on the field, evenly divided.

Anthony's efficiency was relatively low when he attacked Tang Wenlong with his back, but there were many changes in the tentative step attack that turned around, and Tang Wenlong's efficiency was not high in singles, and he always had a chance to score.

Before halftime, Anthony scored 17 points, Tang Wenlong scored 16 points, and the Knicks led by two points at 55-53.

Maddison fans see hope, although the 76ers are now ranked first in the league, but everyone does not admit that they have the first level in the league, because the season has just begun, there is a lot of luck in it, but the rise of Philadelphia is obvious to all, and being able to beat such a strong neighbor is also a great encouragement for the struggling Knicks.

At the start of the second half, Anthony was particularly excited.

The horn area turned to push Tang Wenlong, and in the face of Gasol's defensive basket jump, he dunked violently, playing like a young man with outstanding bounce power. 57 to 53.

"Beautiful, fantastic play!" The great director Spike Lee shouted with a fist.

"That little old man is so hateful, jumping around." Fang Chuxia saw the scene of Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, shouting, and pouted very dissatisfied.

Tang Wenlong broke through with the ball in an instant, dribbled behind the free throw line and stopped, and raised his hand to shoot. 57 to 55.

Knicks positional battle, Anthony and Smalls do blocking and pick-and-roll, David West delays Anthony on the line, Anthony passes to the removed Smalls, and Iguodala is cut diagonally to break the ball.

Knowing through the defense, sharp judgment and decisive shots, steals are as simple as that.

The 76ers were on a fast break, Tang Wenlong followed behind Iguodala, and Douglas, who was only 1.88 meters tall under the front court, saw two strong men of about two meters rushing towards him, like two running rhinoceros.

Iguodala glanced at Tang Wenlong, who was two steps slower than him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, dribbling the ball to face Douglas, raising his hand and throwing the ball onto the rebound, looking like he was throwing it indiscriminately.

Behind him, Tang Wenlong only heard Iguodala shouting, "Empty pick-up!" He raised his head.

"it!"

Tang Wenlong didn't have time to complain, he saw the basketball that had hit the rebound, his mind was blank at this time, he subconsciously broke out a step, and then slammed on the floor and flew into the sky with a swish.

Douglas was dazed, and the basketball he had been paying attention to didn't know where it flew.

At this time, Tang Wenlong seemed to be out of the gravity of the earth, and took the basketball that bounced back from the rebound with both hands, and he suddenly found that the basketball in this place seemed to be lower than the basket

So after taking the ball, Tang Wenlong took advantage of the situation to make a big windmill pull rod action, just pulling the ball to a higher place, and at the same time his body flew under the basket, and his hands shook his arms and buckled!

"Bang dang!"

It's like an explosion! 57-57, tied the score.

Tang Wenlong is unsurpassed in dunking because of his top-level bounce and outstanding arm span, and having such a dunk level naturally makes him a mess.

Then the Knicks attacked, Xiao Si's shot was interfered with by West, and the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong.

The 76ers played a simple blocking and dismantling cooperation, and Lowry attracted the bag and divided Tang Wenlong, who ran to the bottom corner, Tang Wenlong threw a three-pointer sideways and hollowed in. 60 to 57!

The Knicks attacked, and Anthony gave a shot to Shambaugh, who felt stiff and his eyes were sealed by the experienced Iguodala and threw an air ball.

The 76ers had no chance to counterattack, and after reorganizing, Tang Wenlong was given a 45-degree breakthrough, this time he gave it to the outside of Lowry, who shot a three-pointer and hit! 63 to 57!

D'Antoni immediately handed in a timeout.

After the third quarter came up, the 76ers showed a tight side on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, while the Knicks' outside defense was still very scummy, and once the offense dropped the chain, the point difference was immediately opened.

D'Antoni is very difficult, the biggest problem for the Knicks now is defense, he is a coach who advocates offense, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to defense, playing like this, he is also powerless now.

After a few innocuous tactics, he put the Knicks back on the court.

The tactics of the 76ers on the court are obvious, Tang Wenlong defended Anthony alone in the second half, teammates occasionally came to wrap up, Anthony efficiency dropped the ball, giving others to attack independently, but including today's Xiaosi, the offensive ability is very limited, the two young players on the outside, Fields and Shambaugh, are not as good as the 76ers Meeks, and a dribble may be broken by Iguodala.

The Knicks were in an embarrassment all of a sudden, shattering the illusion of a seemingly equal match. (To be continued.) )
