Chapter 178: Explosive three-pointer with a low arc
The Vacovia Center Arena was full of people.
The game between the 76ers and the Kings had just entered the first quarter of the forced timeout, Tang Wenlong and his teammates rested on the bench, and the Kings still led the 76ers by 4 points 9-5.
"It feels a little bad." Iguodala, who missed three shots, was a little depressed, his shooting power was all too big, smashing on the neck of the basket and bouncing, so that he couldn't grab the rebounds in the front court.
"Me too, almost." Tang Wenlong was also very helpless, he had just shot a retreat mid-range jumper, the basketball was off track, it looked like it was for the board, but it was actually completely off.
Iguodala, "And it doesn't seem to be easy to break through, the Kings players don't know what medicine to take, the defense is particularly desperate, a few times obviously have thrown off the defenders, and they can catch up with them relentlessly, did you just see it, the ball I gave to Kyle almost missed." ”
"yes, it's too hard to fight." Tang Wenlong also felt that this confrontation was a bit big, and he raised his hand to think of breaking through, but he was afraid of consuming a few physical strengths.
Head coach Collins crouched down and interrupted the discussion with a tactical board.
"Let's shoot decisively, if you have the opportunity, shoot three-pointers, this game, the current state, the chance of winning with ordinary play is too small, our interior rotation is very good in the first few games, and the physical strength is still abundant."
Tang Wenlong nodded, but he was complaining about the head coach in his heart. What does it mean that the interior rotation is bad, which means that now he and Iguodala are both half-useless because of his bad rotation?
The timeout ended, and both sides returned to the field.
Defending Tang Wenlong is John Salmons, a veteran who has played in the NBA for many years. He also played for the 76ers and reached the peak of his career during the Bulls, when he averaged nearly 19 points per game. can be regarded as a well-known swing guard.
Tang Wenlong signaled Lowry to attack by himself, and after half of the court, he hid outside the three-point line and did not move, looking like he was going to be lazy.
Lowry is also drunk, and the leader of this team has a good ball, but he quite likes the feeling of holding the ball in his hands. It's much better than being a steady mobile turret and a good possession of the ball over the half.
So Lowry thought for a moment, stretched out his finger to give tactical running instructions, and suddenly passed it to Iguodala on the other left. He ran over and made a cross-run cover with David West on the inside. David West mentioned 45 degrees to Iguodala to block, Iguodala broke through and distributed the ball to Lowry, who had been ambushed in the corner, but at this time the tactics did not run well, Kings point guard Jimmer Freded followed closely with Lowry, Lowry did not make a strong shot, but shook and rushed into the interior.
The Kings shrank their defense, and Salmons went to contain Lowry. At this time, Tang Wenlong slipped to the top of the arc and appeared in Lowry's field of vision.
Lowry suddenly gave it to Tang Wenlong, and Tang Wenlong was a dry pull in the ground.
The arc of the basketball is very low, smashing on the inner edge of the hoop, and splashing the net when it rebounds back, "bang" "boom!" "The sound of the impact and the sound of the net flower are intertwined, which is pleasant to the ear. 9 to 8.
Tang Wenlong shook his shoulders with a smile and high-fived Lowry in celebration.
"The young man is getting more and more handsome!"
Lowry smiled: "It's not your right vote." Why is the arc so low today, I thought you were going to have three non-sticks? ”
Tang Wenlong shrugged his shoulders. jokingly: "No way, I can't vote"
The Kings attacked, played very simply, and after the cover, they were distributed to Cousins as a shaft, and Cousins compared the same burly body of Marc Gasol and sensibly divided the ball. In the hands of Tyrek Evans on the outside, Evans' three-point shot was average, and Iguodala was a little further away, and as a result, the guy made a three-pointer that didn't make sense.
"Huh!" Also in it! 12 to 8.
This goal is scored and it is scored, no big deal. There are many unreasonable goals in the NBA, and Tang Wenlong often scores such goals, relying on his height and arm span to throw bukkake.
The 76ers attacked, led two turns and then gave Gasol a low-post single, Mark squeezed twice and couldn't squeeze Cousins, and gave it to David West at the free throw line, and Hickson was very tightly guarded on the opposite side, so he turned around at the free throw line and made a hand-to-hand cover pass with Lowry who ran over.
Lowry dribbled two steps to get open and raised his hand to miss.
The rebound was taken by Cousins, who was amazingly powerful and well-positioned, and he grabbed the rebound with one hand and turned it around, and after it was tightly protected, he passed it to Fredade.
Fredade dribbled over the halfcourt and passed it to Cousins, who followed up, and Cousins then transferred to Tyrek Evans at 45 degrees, this guy successfully became the outside core of the Kings with his outstanding performance in his rookie season, but when he really became the core, his performance became worse and worse than his rookie season, which really responded to the saying "rookie is the peak".
However, Evans is still level, at least his ball handling ability at the small forward position is excellent, and he is still comfortable with dribbling in the face of Iguodala's defense.
So he broke through, leaned on Iguodala and got inside, attracting the bag and smashing it to Cousins.
Cousins took the ball, slammed his body into Marc Gasol, squeezed space under the basket, and then jumped up with all his might, and lifting the basketball with one hand was a backhand dunk.
"Bang!" With a bang, the basket was pulled down by him vigorously, and the dunk was as tough as a small shark.
There was an exclamation in the Wajovia Center Arena, this sophomore rookie is really talented, his physical talent is outstanding, and the last person who can destroy the basket with such an ability to destroy the basket is probably O'Neal.
Tang Wenlong saw that the momentum was not right, and the king seemed to be lifted by Cousins's violent dunk, and hurriedly asked for the ball as soon as half time passed.
At this time, Salmons' defense was extremely aggressive, and in the face of Tang Wenlong's three threats, he took the initiative to stick over, his chest against it, and he was not stunned at all.
The crowd cheered, and Philadelphia fans now love to watch Tang Wenlong go head-to-head, and he can tear any defender apart.
Tang Wenlong pushed his shoulder, suddenly stretched out his right foot to take a tentative step, and in a fleeting moment of thinking time, Salmons followed his body reflex and left, and Tang Wenlong got a little space, so he suddenly pulled it up, just like the No. 1 of the magic trick back then.
The light shone on his face, reflecting a confident glow!
The arc of the basketball is extremely low, and the speed is as fast as a cannon shot, whistling to the basket.
"Huh!" It turned out to be a hollow ball! 12 to 11.
Tang Wenlong scored two three-pointers in a row, which instantly ignited the passion of the fans in the Wachovia Center Arena, especially his pull-up jump shot, posture ecstasy, and jersey fluttering.
"Wow, it's like Tracy McGrady!" Barkley exclaimed.
The Kings missed the attack, the 76ers defended and counterattacked, and as soon as they ran to the frontcourt, Lowry immediately distributed it to Tang Wenlong, who came slowly behind, and Tang Wenlong received the ball one meter away from the three-point line.
Before Salmons could react, Tang Wenlong shot again!
Still in a super low arc, still in that position, his raised arms stayed in the air, watching the basketball spin and pounce on the basket, with a confident smile on his face.
"Hit!" Barkley screamed, it was so exciting.
The Vacovia Center Arena instantly fell into a frenzy, the fans raised their hands and made a gesture of worship, Tang Wenlong's three points were too domineering and unreasonable!
The teammates of the 76ers ran to dance with Tang Wenlong to celebrate, what an incredible place!
The head coach of the Kings, Paul Westphal, was in a sweat of urgency, and immediately made a decision and asked the referee on duty for a timeout (to be continued). )
