Chapter 133: North Shore Gardens (Finale)
The night is as cool as water, and the North Shore Garden Arena is brightly lit.
The fans did not disperse, and the outside of the stadium was still surrounded by water. In the streets and alleys, there are die-hard fans holding wine glasses and painting oil paint.
The final whistle sounded, and the North Shore Garden Arena fired a salute and raised streamers.
Tang Wenlong stood up from the bench, turned his head and walked towards the players' tunnel, the camera focused on his red No. 1 jersey, and his back was so depressed.
The Green Army fans above the narrow tunnel also stretched out their palms to high-five Tang Wenlong and others, and in the noisy decibels, Tang Wenlong vaguely heard words such as "easy", "big victory" and "sweep".
His head "buzzed", and anger rushed to his chest from under both ribs, suffocating painfully, but the pain could not make a sound.
Tang Wenlong took two quick steps and entered the black passage
Yang Jian sighed and complained for Tang Wenlong, "He has really done a very good job, 25 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, contributing his own energy from both offensive and defensive ends." ”
"The Celtics were obviously more prepared, and they beat the 76ers with a bag and a rotation defense in this game, and the 76ers have to crack the bag problem if they want to go further, because the 76ers look like a single core team right now, no matter what." Su Qun commented.
Su Qun: "But this is only the first game of this series, and the 76ers still have a chance to adjust. ”
Yang Jian smiled: "That's right, we will broadcast the second game on time at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and I hope the audience and friends will watch it at that time." ”
In the away dressing room at North Shore Gardens, no one spoke.
It wasn't until there was a "bang" that the team's door was pushed open that everyone raised their heads again, and it turned out to be head coach Collins walking in.
Collins backhanded the door shut. Walked in the middle of the players.
Suddenly, he actually laughed, "Guys, what's wrong with you?" We're not attending a funeral, shouldn't we be so dignified? ”
"Hehehe~" The players' faces were relieved and they laughed softly.
Collins paced back and forth two steps. Flattened hands smiled: "Actually, I want to apologize to everyone first. ”
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what medicine was sold in Corinth's gourd, and quietly waited for Corinth's next words.
Collins said in a sincere tone: "The Celtics' targeted arrangement for us, including the wrapping of Wenlong from the beginning to the last second, including cutting off Andre's passing lanes, disrupting our defense of the inside and outside connection, including the damage caused to us by the inside twin towers of Kevin Garnett and O'Neal Jr. ”
"I think I need to do a review first, my mistakes made it extra difficult for everyone on the court"
Collins bowed and apologized. Causing everyone to be unnatural, Iguodala was the first to respond, "Coach, you don't have to blame yourself too much, we have our own poor performance. ”
"yes, yes, there was a chance to overtake in the third quarter."
"In the fourth quarter too, all of a sudden they hit several, in a row."
The crowd began to speak. The solemn atmosphere eased a little.
Tang Wenlong raised his head, his eyes were extremely determined. Said: "Coach, we will definitely win the next game, no one can beat us easily, we are the Philadelphia 76ers!" ”
"Yes, that's right!"
"Kill them!"
The 76ers all raised their hands and clenched their fists. Reinvigorated.
Collins smiled: "Yes, everyone's spirit is right, we are young, what can't we do, we have our own impact." Even if we lose a game, it's not a big deal, we just have to get it back. ”
"Okay, I'll talk about the points where there were several leaks and wrong positions on the offensive end in this game, and everyone listen carefully."
Collins pulled out a tactics board out of nowhere, and like a teacher in middle school, dutifully began to analyze tactics with his teammates.
This made the athletes whose muscles were stuffed with brains suddenly have a bitter face, and they don't want to listen to tactics
After the game, ESPN used "irreversible green shirts" to describe this game, in this land that has given birth to the most NBA championships, Philadelphia was suppressed almost the whole time, and we did not see the regular season of the smooth offense, only the embarrassment of falling into the Celtics' heavy defense.
The Boston Chronicle shouted a sweeping slogan in a high-profile manner, 97-84 in the game, and the Celtics won by 13 points.
The 76ers only lost one game, but it was like losing the whole world, and the bookmakers bet that the odds of the 76ers to advance rose sharply. It shows that everyone is now looking down on 76 people.
In the local media of Philadelphia, the 76ers are described in four words: despite defeat. Tang Wenlong's first playoff game broke the outside world's doubts about his playoff ability, and in front of the biggest touchstone, he is still the one who shines the most, even if it is the Celtics, they can only limit this super rookie.
The Chinese media even wrote about Tang Wenlong's personal performance, and fans like to see reports about him, if it weren't for Tang Wenlong, the 76ers would definitely not have so many supporters. But now, during the playoffs, the two teams competed in the SMS support rate, and it turned out to be an exaggerated 7 to 3 percent, you know, it is the Celtics, with Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce and other all-star glory divisions.
In the other games on the first day of the playoffs, the Bulls won against the Pacers, the Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers, and the Hawks won against the Magic.
Compared with Tang Wenlong, Howard is even more miserable, he was in good shape in the game against the Hawks, scoring 46 points and 19 rebounds in the game, and even the free throws that have always been inaccurate are 14 of 22 free throws, with a shooting rate of more than 60%.
The next day, the NBA kicked off its second game day in full swing.
The attention on this day is higher than on the first day, and the two hottest stars in the league today, Kobe Bryant and James, will play on this day, as well as star players such as Durant and Anthony, and their popularity is not low.
The first game was a game between the Heat and the Knicks, and the two teams had more than five All-Star players at the peak of integrity, and the ratings were amazing.
The Knicks didn't look like they were completely disarming and surrendering, and until the last two minutes, the two teams didn't completely open up the difference. At the last moment, Wade broke through and caused Xiao Si to leave the court with six fouls, the Knicks lost an attack point inside, and the Heat strongly wrapped Anthony, Anthony made a fatal mistake at the last moment, and was beaten 4-0 by the Heat and lost the game.
If the Knicks forced the Heat to this part, it would be forgotten, in the second game of the Hornets vs. Lakers, the Hornets defeated the Lakers 109-100!
Staples was like a snowfall, and the queen bee stinger lit up all of Los Angeles on this night.
That's not all, the Thunder 107-103 just narrowly beat the Nuggets, not to mention, the Spurs lost to the Grizzlies 98-101!
Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, the big fat man of the year, both scuttled through the Spurs' interior line, and Conley and Tony Allen's two defenses of Parker only hit 4 of 16 shots, which is extremely unbeatable.
It's an upset round of the playoffs, and the West can't bear to look at it miserably! (To be continued.) )
