Before halftime, the Celtics and 76ers were tied at 44.

The fierce and undivided competition took the fans away, and whether it was live or in front of the TV, there were always exclamations from the fans from time to time.

In the third quarter, the confrontations became more frequent, and you could feel the tooth-aching muscle collision between the players on the TV set.

Tang Wenlong turned his back to the low post and reached out to receive the pass from Rondo.

"Why do you like to carry your back so much, you don't look like a young man at all." Pierce opened his mouth to trash talk, but what he said made a lot of sense, among the 20-year-old scorers, few of them used back-to-back singles as often as Tang Wenlong, even if it was Jordan or Kobe, who were the masters, were mostly face-frame offenses at this age.

Tang Wenlong didn't respond to him, and his style was to attack or defend with his head down.

The Celtics didn't come to wrap up, Tang Wenlong bent up after taking the ball, like a huge bow that was pulled out, he stabilized his lower plate, and squeezed his upper body backwards with great effort.

Pierce's strength is not small, and when he hits Pierce with his back, he can't get space with his strength.

He put his toes on the floor, his heels slightly floating, his arms spread, he took the ball to his chest, and then suddenly, his left foot turned around.

The speed of turning is very fast, and the chic is incomprehensible.

However, Pierce is like a picture scroll destroyer, after taking a diagonal step with his left foot, the whole person is stuck in the position where Tang Wenlong continues to turn, if Tang Wenlong turns again, he will inevitably crash into him.

Tang Wenlong had already expected that the tip of his left foot was on the floor, and his right foot was the axis. In an instant, he made a turn in the opposite direction.

The basketball slammed on the floor and bounced off. Tang Wenlong twisted his body. The waist board exerted force and floated backwards.

"Can't make it!" Pierce shouted, and he rose up with all his strength, wanting to cover up Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong's legs naturally formed scissor feet, grasped the most natural sense of balance in the air, pressed his wrist slightly, and his fingertips plucked the ball out, and the basketball spun and flew up. Then plunge headlong into the hoop.

"What a ball!" Crews coach Rivers on the bench had eyes shining on it, and Tang Wenlong's shot looked familiar, just like his former disciple Tracy McGrady.

Rivers' first team was the Magic, from '99 to '03, and needless to say in the '02-03 season, Maddie put on various scoring performances that year, averaging 32.1 points per game, and only a handful of people since 1980 were able to surpass him in points per game in the season.

"It's a pity, it's not me who coaches." Rivers has some regrets in his heart, such a talented player. If you can train well, you will inevitably be the brightest star in the future.

A few minutes later. Both teams went into the second forced timeout of the third quarter.

The 76ers led by one point at 58-57 with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. During this time, Tang Wenlong strengthened his personal offense and hit several mid- and long-range shots

Chicago, United Center Arena.

The entire Bulls team watched the Celtics and 76ers play together in the arena's large lounge, with head coach Tom Thibodeau and several other assistant coaches turning on their large TV screens.

Whether the Celtics advance or the 76ers advance, neither team will be as good as the Pacers they met in the first round.

As the game progressed, the Bulls' players exclaimed from time to time, and head coach Thibodeau carefully analyzed each and every offense and defense of both teams, and his commentary was much more exciting than the commentator, and the technical jargon was endless.

"Derek, this Tang Wenlong is really terrifying, he is tall and has long arms, and his shooting is accurate." Rohr Deng saw the scene of Tang Wenlong turning around and hitting a jumper, and said to Rose.

Rose raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "What?" Even you don't have the confidence to defend him? ”

"How is that possible!" Rohr Deng was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, with a look of disdain, "I just think he's tricky, but it's not to the point where he can't be solved, and I can definitely do it with restrictions and defense." ”

Rose gave him a blank look, Luo Er Deng is obviously talking big again, after the playoffs and the Celtics, Tang Wenlong has been proven to be the league's most difficult to defend star, just like his own breakthrough, Tang Wenlong's step-back jumper combined with his dribble breakthrough has become the most unpredictable signature skill in rhythm.

"Wow, this Tang Wenlong is really crazy!" The bald head Boozer sitting in the chair was amazed, and Tang Wenlong hit the last goal of the third quarter for both teams with a three-point pull.

"The Celtics are in trouble," Rohr Deng gloated a little, and at the end of the third quarter, the 76ers led by five points 65-60, which was the biggest margin of difference between the two teams so far.

Thibodeau looked at Tang Wenlong's shot point in this game that appeared on the screen, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"There are still more shots on the right side than on the left, there are more shots from mid-to-long range than from close range, and the proportion of layups is not high, but the efficiency of the breakthrough is amazing." The assistant coach analysed the data and immediately came to a conclusion.

Thibodeau immediately thought of joint defense, but when he saw Tang Wenlong's back level, he immediately vetoed this defensive strategy in his heart. He could see the Celtics' strategy, that is, to defend Tang Wenlong alone and cut off the connection between Tang Wenlong and other players, but the latter was difficult to complete.

If it were him, he would rather be like the Celtics did in the first game, Tang Wenlong would wrap up as soon as he got the ball, and use good rotation defense to break Tang Wenlong's lethality

"Beep~" whistle sounded, and Tang Wenlong stood up from the bench again.

He rested for two minutes in the fourth quarter, and Collins sent him back to the court, and the Celtics' bench chased the score fiercely, and Iguodala was lonely, and was immediately tied and even overtaken.

As soon as Tang Wenlong came on the court, Iguodala breathed a sigh of relief, he was so tired, and it was very painful to be chased and intercepted as soon as he got the ball.

"The real NBA is not 2k, if it was a game, I would have just shot directly." Iguodala was talking about a ball that had just been released, and he didn't choose to shoot because he didn't feel good, but after breaking through, he was caught by the Celtics and then missed.

"It's okay, take your time." Tang Wenlong comforted Iguodala instead, the two are now attacking and defending, complementing each other, and no one can operate without it.

Lowry served on the sideline, and Hoyes pulled out to make an off-ball cover for Tang Wenlong.

With nine minutes left in the clock, the Celtics led the 76ers by three points 72-69, and both teams shot around 40% in this game.

After double covering, Tang Wenlong received the ball at a 30-degree position, turned his back and dribbled the ball, and then broke through to the baseline position, followed by Garnett, who rotated to defend.

Tang Wenlong held the ball in his right hand and stepped out with his left foot, and at the moment he faced Garnett, he changed to holding the ball with both hands, and striding out with his right foot to the right, which was an instant completion of a European step in such a narrow place on the bottom line!

Garnett is still an inside player, and he can't keep up with Tang Wenlong's pace when he has big defense.

Tang Wenlong dodged Garnett's blockade, the whole person floated past the basket, pulled the ball out of the air again, and then sank his waist and shouted, the big windmill seemed to pull the rod on a super large rebound!

Kostic, who rushed to make up for the defense, saw that his eyes were about to fall out, is this still an earthling? (To be continued.) )
