Chapter Ninety-Six: A Wave of Empty Connection

His breathing gradually stabilized, and in the thorny jungle made of muscle steel, Tang Wenlong was like a red flowing dragon, coming and going freely in it.

Battier is still the league's strongest perimeter defender, but Tang Wenlong is no longer what he used to be.

After half a quarter, the difference between the two teams has not been widened, and the scene is in a scorching situation, but Tang Wenlong is very efficient, and he has scored 5 points on 2 of 3 shots.

After the first forced timeout, 76ers outside Andre Iguodala held the ball.

Defending Iguodala is the Rockets' current No. 1 offensive point on the outside, Kevin Martin, Martin's crooked machine gun, has always been very good offensively, but the defense is very weak, far inferior to the league average, and it is impossible to stop it when encountering heavyweight opponents such as Artest.

Iguodala is not as strong as Artest, but he is also full of devilish muscles, like Iron Man.

"Bang!"

The two collided in the horn area, and Kevin Martin had a pain in his shoulder, and he was knocked out of position, and the door was suddenly exposed.

Tang Wenlong's eyes flashed, and when he saw Sean Battier, who turned his back to watch the situation in the court, he quietly moved his steps, ran directly outside the bottom line, and cut into the inside line in a circle.

Iguodala's back zoomed in and down in Martin's eyes, and Hayeska's main position couldn't move, so Scola stepped forward, covering the lower edge with his hands outside the penalty area, and his face looked like I would be overwhelmed if you dared to come.

Iguodala raised his hand, and the basketball was thrown high and casually.

"It's," Scola had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, before he could turn around, a loud roar sounded behind his head, as if someone had put a thunderbolt behind his head.

The audience at the scene let out an exclamation, as if they had rehearsed before the game, so neat.

How has Houston ever seen such a chic and amazing flight attendant dunk match? When Tang Wenlong came out diagonally and completed the dunk with a flat line of sight, who would have thought that this was a teenager from the East?

At 17-14, the Rockets trailed by only three points.

Holiday steadily dribbled the ball across the half-court, then after a crotch drop, swapped the ball to the left hand for control, and the right hand was extended for command.

Martin runs.

Sparing a big circle for the entire half, Iguodala still bites at the back. Holiday changed his gesture and Scola ran out to do a high pick-and-roll for him.

Holiday has his own set of offense, especially when it comes to pick-and-roll offense, and is able to use cover to find shots. Lowry's height is about six or seven centimeters shorter than him, and he suddenly became confident at this time, and after the high-level block was over, he took two steps directly inside, and leaned forward against Lowry behind him to make a jumper.

Also in. 17 to 16.

Lowry raised his hand to signal that he was responsible for the ball.

"It's okay, we have one more." Tang Wenlong clapped his hands, not caring at all. The NBA is like that, you can't defend every ball like you do in the amateur league, but as long as you limit the opponent's low shooting percentage, you can take advantage of the final victory.

Lowry raised his index finger and shouted to the crowd to run.

The fans of the Rockets were in a trance, the same No. 7 jersey number, the same burning fiery red jersey, but this time, the small steel cannon aimed his muzzle at his comrades-in-arms who had struggled together.

Outside the three-point line, Lowry jumped high and shot.

The basketball in a high arc burns into the net!

20-16, Adelman's eyelids jumped, and Lowry seemed to play more confidently after leaving the Rockets.

The two sides attacked each other for two more rounds, with Tang Wenlong getting a chance to attack at 45 degrees on the left side.

It was an off-ball screen, and Lowry's advance pass had just gotten into the hands of Tang Wenlong, who had escaped Battier's defense.

Tang Wenlong's shoulders shook, he took a step on the dribble, and suddenly pulled the ball up again, jumping in the opposite direction.

A wonderful feint jump, dodging Scola's block, directly facing the Rockets' close basket, the threat rose to full value.

Hayes was not timid, and in the face of the famous spring man Tang Wenlong, he still dared to stretch out his arms, and then took a step up to defend with all his might.

Tang Wenlong snorted coldly, and the hands of the basketball held high suddenly shook, and the basketball flew straight out, and the angle was a little big.

"Mistakes?" At this time, Battier's pupils shrank, and he wondered in his heart.

The basketball was so off-the-beaten-track that it even flew to the other side of the hoop.

At this time, a big black hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the orange basketball that was still flying in a straight line.

Then, Iguodala Nine's back is suddenly focused by the camera.

He didn't know where to come out of nowhere, grabbed the basketball with one hand with his right hand in the air, and in an instant brought his left hand up, replacing one hand with two hands, and with a "snap", there was a crisp impact sound when the hands merged the basketball. Like a big bird in flight, he showed his ability to stay in the air to the fullest.

Iguodala shouted, his waist straightened, and a force came from between his bones, plus on his arms, he used all his strength to swing down!

"Peng!"

In the blink of an eye, the basket underwent a terrifying transformation, and it was as if it had been pulled down by someone.

A loud noise echoed around every corner of the Toyota Center, and the Houston fans fell into a dead silence for a moment, rubbing their eyes once more, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"Beast slam dunk, Iguodala's dunk is so exciting!" The two hosts of the imperial court station were not calm anymore, and kept exclaiming.

Also boiling was the 76ers' bench, with Collins leading the applause and Louis Williams taking the lead in throwing the towel.

Holiday hurried through the half, hoping to get through the stretch quickly and not be demoralized by Iguodala's dunk.

"One more, one more!" Holiday shouted, quite a leader.

He suddenly changed direction with a cross step under his crotch on the outside, and the left side was replaced by the right breakthrough, and Lowry was stunned, and he was actually cleaned up.

Holiday was overjoyed, and at this time, Tang Wenlong let go of Battier and ran quickly to fill the position.

Holiday raised his head at the same time, and the eyes of the two people converged in one place, and a faint spark was visible.

In the bottom corner, Battier raised his hands in the air, eager to shout out loud.

Holiday didn't expect that in his eyes, there was only the hateful No. 1 in front of him!

It's this guy who caused him to transfer halfway before his rookie contract expired, it's this guy who took away everything that originally belonged to him, Philadelphia darling, All-Star, why is he?

The mental excitement stimulated the physical outburst, Holiday faced Tang Wenlong, showing off a dazzling dribble, the basketball flicked back and forth under the crotch, and then ran to the back for a while, changing left and right.

At this time, Battier, who had completed the switch, was defended by Iguodala in front of him, and Battier lamented that the bottom corner three points were his best weapon.

"Guess how I got past you, left or right?" Holiday was still spitting trash talk.

Tang Wenlong couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this familiar trash talk, foreigners' language skills are so weak. He almost subconsciously retorted, "If you have the ability, just vote for one." ”

"Humph!" Holiday snorted disdainfully, and flipped his wrist as if he was about to change direction sharply!

Pulled from left to right, the basketball fluttered back and forth on the floor, and it looked like it could break the ball if you put your hand in.

This is the most common pitfall.

NBA players react very quickly, and many times they will take the first step to change when the defender makes a gambling defense, and it seems that it is easy to break back and forth, but once you reach down, most of the time it will be useless, and you will lose your position due to the change of center of gravity.

Tang Wenlong was not fooled at all, and when Iguodala usually trained, he taught him not how many similar defensive experiences he didn't know.

Holiday calmed down, and suddenly felt a little tricky.

Tang Wenlong's height and arm span are far beyond him, and what is even more speechless is that his speed and flexibility are still like a defender, so that his arms are spread out, and he moves to defend in small steps, which is standard like a textbook, no matter which angle it seems, it is impeccable.

But it's almost time!

Holiday gritted his teeth, and after dribbling the ball under his two crotches, the right side was strong!

Tang Wenlong turned sideways, his footsteps moved, his right arm was stuck on Holiday 's waist, and his left hand rose high, clinging to the pressure continuously.

Holiday took two steps, and with no hope of success, he turned his back and grabbed the basketball with both hands, halting the offense.

At this point, time is running out for the attack.

But Thaddeus Yang also ran over very smartly, he and Tang Wenlong went one after the other, and formed a bag for Holiday who took the ball!

Holiday really panicked at this time, it felt red in all directions, and there was no gap at all.

Faintly, a white shadow came out from the side, and Holiday was overjoyed, and the dead horse threw the ball out as a live horse, and if it didn't pass it out, it would be a mistake!

But wear it out-

It's also a mistake

Iguodala struck the basketball with a slanted shot and a poke of her long arm, changing its trajectory. Then he picked up the basketball and smashed it on the floor in front of him, and he caught up with it in a big stride, rushing forward at once.

At the same time, there was also Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong ran away, second only to Iguodala, following behind.

The two men rushed through the half court together one after the other and entered the center of the Rockets' position.

"2 to 0 in the front!" Yu Jia said creatively.

Iguodala turned his head and saw that only Tang Wenlong followed, and among the remaining players, Kevin Martin ran quite fast, but not as fast as Tang Wenlong.

He saw the basket getting closer and closer, and suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he threw the ball to the rebound at random.

The mouth shouted, "Don, empty pick!" ”

Tang Wenlong, who was keeping up, was about to slow down, but suddenly heard Iguodala calling him, he immediately focused again, and when he looked up, the basketball smashed on the rebound, and it had already begun to bounce back!

He was not slow to react, and after stepping on the edge of the penalty area, he took off into the air.

In the air, Tang Wenlong's right forearm and hindarm showed an angle, grabbed the basketball, and his right thigh was naturally raised, a step higher than his left foot.

The line of sight gradually paralleled the basket, and the whole person glided past like a glider.

Then he waved down with one arm, so fast that even the camera couldn't catch it.

"Bang dang!"

What a wave of empty connections
