Chapter 173: Three doubles in the opening battle

Before halftime, the Trail Blazers were tough enough to chase the score to 51-54, just three points apart.

The Philadelphia fans cheered enthusiastically, it was just spectacular, and when they really rested, they found that the Trail Blazers were playing well, at least the players on the bench had outstanding ability to withstand pressure, which was eye-catching.

At the beginning of the second half, Tang Wenlong consciously strengthened his personal attack.

In the 9th minute, Tang Wenlong received a hand-to-hand pass from Marc Gasol, turned around and entered the inside line, and with Gasol's high-quality cover, his breakthrough efficiency was much higher.

The Trail Blazers didn't have time to shrink the defensive line, Tang Wenlong rushed to the basket, and in the face of Aldridge taking the ball, he jumped a big step in the opposite direction to avoid Aldridge's defense.

Then he stood up vertically, put his hands on the flat frame behind his head, and the speed of action was fast.

This dunk immediately ignited the center of Vachovia, and Tang Wenlong's jump after the breakthrough was too handsome, like a jumping elf in the muscle jungle, although he was 2.03 meters tall, he was extremely flexible.

"It's so handsome to hold the ground!" Gasol turned around and high-fived Tang Wenlong.

"You're handsome on the ground!" Tang Wenlong laughed, at least half of the credit for this goal is due to Gasol, including the cover in the early stage, as well as the obstruction of vision, Camby didn't see Tang Wenlong who entered the inside line at all.

Tang Wenlong looked up at the big screen, and the 76ers led by 6 points 63-57.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and after a few turns by Felton and several outside guides, he handed it to Matthews on the wing, who was at 45 degrees, ready to block and Aldridge, while on the other side, small forward Batum went up from the bottom corner and took advantage of Camby and Felton's double block.

Matthews flicked his wrist. With Aldridge's blocking, Tang Wenlong followed closely and failed to shake off.

He suddenly flicked the ball in the middle of the march and handed it to Batum, who ran to the top of the arc, and Batum was open at this time, attracting the 76ers Iguodala and Gasol to be a double bag. Batum dropped the basket in the air, and Camby made a dunk in the air.

63 to 59.

Despite the lack of superstars, the Trail Blazers still play well like an army.

Collins was helpless, there was no way to do this, there was a problem with the communication between Gasol and Iguodala, after the ball was changed, Gasol meant that Iguodala went to Kacambi, but Iguodala was obsessed with single defense and had no intention of changing defenses. New teammates enter the team. There will always be a run-in time, and this time will definitely not be too short.

The 76ers attacked, and after a simple cover, Tang Wenlong gave the ball to David West, West took the ball and gave it back to Tang Wenlong outside the arc.

Tang Wenlong made a gesture and motioned for Iguodala to come over and block with him on the outside.

Iguodala understood and ran over to do a pick-and-roll with him. The two people have a tacit understanding, and they know what the other party is going to do with one look. The Trailblazers' conventional tactics are the same as to wrap up Tang Wenlong, but they don't want Iguodala to cover and dismantle it directly, and the blocking and dismantling is just a cover!

Tang Wenlong shook the ball and rushed towards Iguodala like a cannonball.

Iguodala received the ball inside the three-point line, held the ball and hit the Trail Blazers' inside, and Camby bypassed Gasol to block Iguodala. Iguodala jumped up and took a straight aircut.

"Bang dang!" Gasol grabbed the ball with one arm and scored his 10th point of the game, more than David West. 65 to 59.

Tang Wenlong quickly stepped back and opened his arms when he fell outside the three-point line, and his concentration on defense now skyrocketed. Since the summer with Anthony and the coach, my defensive confidence has improved a lot, and I feel like I can defend against any player.

The Trail Blazers attacked, Aldridge missed a jumper, and the rebound was taken by West.

After another three rounds, Filton, the point guard of the Trail Blazers, made a mistake when he broke through, and the basketball smashed on his foot and bounced, and Tang Wenlong picked up the steal and quickly formed a fast-break counterattack.

The fastest runner was Iguodala, followed by Tang Wenlong, who dribbled, and then Lowry, who rushed in.

The three guys attacked in three lines, and the Trail Blazers retreated in time to come back with only Batum alone, Tang Wenlong gave the ball to Lowry in the middle, Lowry didn't look at people and raised his hand to receive the ball in an empty pass, Iguodala Street Ball glided over a distance and then dunked violently, and the action was very stretched.

Tang Wenlong acts as a green leaf, in fact, if Lowry gives him this ball, he can also dunk, only with Batum, he will definitely not dare to stop him when he is fast.

However, Tang Wenlong didn't think there was anything wrong with it, when he was attacking quickly, he would give his teammates the opportunity to score so much, he usually shot enough times, like when attacking the position, once he had the opportunity, he would make a decisive shot, and sometimes he would shoot at a critical moment.

For the next four rounds, neither side scored.

In the final four minutes of the third quarter, Collins began to rotate the lineup, with rookie Butler coming on to replace Iguodala and Speights coming on for David West.

Tang Wenlong played the last four minutes of the third quarter, and suddenly opened his hand outside the three-point line, hitting two three-pointers in a row, but fortunately, the Trailblazers also returned a three-pointer, and the score gap was just 10 points.

Tang Wenlong went off the court to rest, and by the time the third quarter was over, he had already got a quasi-triple-double of 18 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, and if he played again in the fourth quarter, he would definitely get a triple-double.

The hosts of the imperial court station, Zhang Guidao and Yang Jian, had already begun to pay attention to Tang Wenlong's data, and the two of them helped Tang Wenlong count the data in the third quarter.

Collins arranged for Iguodala to play in the fourth quarter, and the bench players of both teams went back and forth, and the shooting percentage was very high, and the score rose quickly.

Butler drew a foul on Thomas on a breakaway shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, and he went to the free throw line to score two of his first and second career points.

And the other rookie is not so lucky, Loyle's playing time is very limited, like the power forward position and the center position have players divided, by the time he arrived, he was already the third substitute, to say that the good point is to define the role of a potential rookie, to say that the bad point is the water cooler caretaker.

The difference between the two teams has been around seven or eight points, and Tang Wenlong came on in the seventh minute to replace Butler.

After getting on the court, Lowry missed a long shot, and as a result, the basketball smashed outside the hoop and bounced straight back, Tang Wenlong was about to retreat, just when he saw the basketball bounce over, his body reacted subconsciously and grabbed this frontcourt rebound.

This is not over, the entire formation of the Trailblazers was deviated because of grabbing rebounds in the backcourt, Tang Wenlong made a large-scale transfer and handed it to Meeks in the bottom corner, and Meeks quickly shot a three-point shot!

The Wajovia Center Arena immediately sent a tidal wave of applause, even like a fanatical fan shouting "MVP", Tang Wenlong's eyes blinked, and he felt that his morale had suddenly increased.

Tang Wenlong showed his comprehensiveness, and the last quarter was full of suppressive power.

Amid the cheers of the audience's morale, the 76ers rose and fell high wave after wave, and it didn't take long for the time to enter the last two minutes, the Trail Blazers trailed by 13 points, and the chances of a comeback became more and more slim.

In the end, the 76ers won 109-94 at home against the Trail Blazers by 15 points, and Tang Wenlong scored 25 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in the opening game, and the first game showed a different side from last season. (To be continued.) )
