In terms of heads-up ability, Pingping, who is often devastated by Tang Wenlong, is still above the level of his peers.

The name of the kid opposite him startled Tang Wenlong, and it felt like he was facing a combination of three superstars at the same time, and this young player is indeed very physical, able to run and jump. He also has very good ball handling, and the basketball is like an arm in his hand.

The two are of similar age, there is not much difference in height, and they look good alone.

Pingping's left and right hand dribbling was unbalanced, and during the heads-up process, the kid named Michael Carter Williams quickly discovered Pingping's weakness, and he began to block Pingping's right side and put him on the left, and the two of them were 2-2 at first, and then immediately, Pingping was broken by Michael Carter Williams, and then the latter hit three balls in a row, all of which were layups after rushing to the basket or high hitting boards after dangling.

Coach Jim shook his head and said to Tang Wenlong, "Let's look at his shooting test." ”

Tang Wenlong smiled awkwardly. When he came to the tryout that year, he was confirmed by the head coach to stay after the heads-up, but today the idea was more difficult, and Coach Jim needed more comprehensive testing to determine whether to keep him.

Ping Ping felt that there was nothing, and after coming off the court, he talked and laughed with Michael Carter Williams, and he couldn't see that the two were so fierce before.

This performance trait made Coach Jim's eyes light up, and he glanced at Tang Wenlong instead, thinking that Tang Wenlong's younger brother was much more extroverted than Tang Wenlong, and it seemed that there was no problem in communicating with his teammates.

After that, the basic dribbling skills test, the passing basic skills test, and the shooting test will be conducted.

Among them, the shooting test is divided into a fixed-point shooting test and a confrontational shooting test, the fixed-point shooting test is simple, that is, the half court is divided into more than a dozen areas, and then each area shoots five balls, including five points outside the three-point line. It's not complicated to fight against shooting, find two players to interfere with dribbling and shooting respectively, and then shoot a certain number of balls to see the crosshairs of the shot.

The mediocre completion is quite good, the shooting rate of the unguarded shooting at the fixed point is about sixty percent, and the shooting under interference is also forty percent, at least much better than the old rough of a bunch of black big men in the team, Coach Jim thought about it for a while, and decided to leave Tang Wenlong's younger brother to cultivate.

Tang Wenlong was overjoyed, he didn't have any bottom before, he once thought that there was no hope for mediocrity, but now seeing him admitted, he was even happier than being admitted.

Admission is also conditional, for example, taking advantage of this rare effort, Coach Jim left Tang Wenlong to participate in training and confrontation with the players of Syracuse University, and asked Tang Wenlong to teach the children of Syracuse University some NBA basketball skills and experience.

Tang Wenlong couldn't cry or laugh, saying that he didn't have a jersey, and Coach Jim waved his hand and said it didn't matter, he could casually buy the jersey he wore at Syracuse University.

Tang Wenlong: "......"

……

After settling the matter, Tang Wenlong returned to Philadelphia, and it didn't take long for him to come to October.

At this time, 2k fully promoted their new game, 2k13, which instantly became a favorite game of NBA fans with its extremely close to the details and unique control experience.

The modified Lakers have the highest combat power, with 91 offense and 90 defense. Overall, the 76ers are not bad at fighting, with an offensive score of 91 and the same as the Lakers, and a defense of 87, which is also the top five teams in the entire NBA.

The league's highest-rated player continues to be the all-round James, who has an overall rating of 97, which is basically the same as last year. In fact, this is also based on James's overall data and efficiency value last season, although James lost to Tang Wenlong in the playoffs, but in fact, there is only a millimeter difference between the two teams. Even after the Finals, there was an argument that whoever made it to the Finals in the East would definitely win the championship.

Tang Wenlong's rating is second only to James, with a score of 96. He has an offensive rating of 97 points and a slightly lower defensive rating, but he also has 88 points, and the rebounds are relatively poor, with only a rebounding rating of 57, and if it weren't for the fact that he grabbed rebounds in multiple games in the playoffs, it would be difficult for the rebounds to be rated more than 50 points. Even so, he is already the second-highest rated player in the league, and when many fans manipulate it, they find that Tang Wenlong is obviously much easier to control than James, especially the back-to-back jumper, which is ridiculously accurate.

After that, there is Durant with a rating of 94, "Warcraft" Howard with a rating of 94, Kobe, Paul and Wade with 93, and so on.

After the 76ers came out of the game, they found a time to PK together, and Whiteside was obviously a master of this, and he was extremely skilled in playing 2k. And Tang Wenlong himself can only be regarded as an ordinary player, and because he usually plays more keyboards at home, the controller is particularly awkward to operate.

ESPN, meanwhile, starts each year's top 500 rankings before the start of the season.

This is the ranking of player strength before the start of the season, last year was the first phase of the player ranking, Tang Wenlong was ranked 15th by ESPN, below the Thunder and below the Knicks' two superstars with an annual salary of 20 million. It's just that the media bluntly said at the time that Tang Wenlong's ranking seemed to be higher.

On October 12, the NBA's preseason season officially began.

The 76ers' preseason games are mostly scheduled to be held in Asia, but the first game against the Magic was held in Orlando, Orlando has experienced a big change in the lineup in the summer, and the 76ers are visiting Orlando this time, although it is only an inconsequential preseason game, but it is also a bit of a bully.

"Training is the mainstay, and running-in is the first." The Collins head coach shouted slogans directly in the face of media interviews.

In this regard, the newly appointed head coach of the Magic team, Jacqui Vaughn, was also polite, giving the 76ers a lot of praise before the game, lowering his stature: "They are a great team, they just won the championship last season, Tang Wenlong's ability is very strong, I like his leadership temperament on the court." ”

Such a smokeless dialogue between the two teams naturally could not satisfy the media, and they tried every means to find the players in the team for interviews, especially many rookies on the Magic team, hoping to meet the players with big mouths.

As a result, Afflalo, the current biggest player of the Magic team, did not play in this game, and the only attraction against the 76ers was gone.

Tang Wenlong played 18 minutes, scored 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting and clocked out, leaving the rest of the time for the rest of the 76ers to play.

In the end, the Magic actually won 101-90 against the 76ers, and "Big Baby" Glenn Davis scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, and played a dominant stat in the preseason. (To be continued.) )
