Chapter 227: Eagle
The Hawks are a perennial playoff team, reaching the second round of the playoffs for three consecutive years during the '08-11 season, especially last year, when the Magic team with the league's No. 1 center Howard was able to score 4-2, which was amazing.
It's a pity that this year, due to the intensive schedule, the Hawks injured the young main center Horford, and even in the playoffs, they could only use Jason Collins as the team's starter, who is already 34 years old and has been on the bench all year round.
Playing the Celtics, it just so happened that the Celtics also injured Garnett, and they played the stronger 76ers, which was full of blood and full of state and full lineup, so before the game started, the Hawks' internal problems have been taken out by experts to talk about things, and discerning people can see at a glance that the 76ers are estimated to be able to at least enter the Eastern Conference finals this season.
It looks like an uneven playoff game, and the West is getting worse in the second round, with the Lakers vs. Thunder and Spurs vs. Clippers.
The fans sat down in turn, Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi, who rushed over to play, also sat on the sidelines, because it was the home court of Philadelphia, Tang Wenlong got two seats in the front row, and the two beautiful girls sat on the sidelines, which immediately attracted a lot of attention, and even the shots of the two appeared on the big screen of the scene many times.
After the preparations, the starters from both sides stayed on the court, with the 76ers in white jerseys and the Hawks in dark blue classic jerseys.
76ers starters: Lowry, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala, David West, Marc Gasol.
Eagles starters: Jeff Teague, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Jason Collins.
CCTV5's Su Qun immediately made a lineup analysis, "There is obviously a change of formation on the Hawks' side, and in the first round, Hinrich and Teague started together. It's time to play the 76ers. Because the 76ers had Tang Wenlong present. The Hawks had to defend at a similar height No. 2, so the shorter Hinrich was put on the bench, Marvin was on the No. 4 position, and Josh Smith was a small forward, and he had the ability to do so. ”
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Eagles are a very strange team, they prefer swing people, especially the swing people in the third and fourth positions, and they have cultivated a lot of them. Like Josh Smith, Marvin Williams or even Ewan Johnson on the bench. It's all this type of player, tall and extremely capable of running and jumping, it's like the Atlanta track and field team. ”
The two men laughed and talked about the lineup, and it was about to be time for kickoff.
The starting forces of both sides stood in their positions, Gasol and Josh Smith walked to the center circle to jump the ball, and in terms of size, the Hawks as a whole were relatively uniform and tall, while the 76ers were standard in every position.
The whistle blows, the game begins!
It takes time to take off and jump, and it takes time to jump to the highest altitude. The referee didn't throw hard enough to throw the ground, and Gasol stepped just 30 centimeters off the ground. The basketball dropped, and he clicked it back with his hand.
At this time, Josh Smith was still going up, like an elevator that went up in a straight line, pressing the highest building, and couldn't stop at all.
"I'm rubbing, didn't the referee eat dinner?" When Josh Smith flew to the sky, he looked down on the crowd that had already begun to run, and his heart was infinitely complaining.
In the first wave of the 76ers' attack, Lowry still handed over Tang Wenlong to dominate the ball.
Defending Tang Wenlong is Josh Smith, who has just jumped the ball, and Joe Johnson, who plays as a shooting guard, is defending Iguodala, and it is obvious that Hawks head coach Larry Drew is more concerned about Tang Wenlong's terrifying performance on the offensive end, so he uses the best defensive player on the team to limit Tang Wenlong.
Josh Smith is a good defender, but he doesn't defend the flanks as well as he does on the inside, he's athletic and versatile, but he's better suited to defend Tang than Joe Johnson.
Tang Wenlong took the ball on the flank, turned around and put the ball down vertically with both hands, almost touching the ground.
Suddenly, Tang Wenlong burst out in one step, and the right side dribbled Josh strongly, his ability to dribble directly and make a strong breakthrough ranked first in the entire NBA, especially the first step of combining people and balls, which was as fast as lightning.
Josh Smith is very focused, but when it comes to defense, the difficulty is not known how many times higher.
Tang Wenlong occupied the advantage of half a body, dribbled to the baseline, Josh opened his arms, exerted physical confrontation on Tang Wenlong, and blocked Tang Wenlong's way to attack the basket.
Tang Wenlong took three steps, suddenly turned around, turned over and broke through to the left, as fast as a spinning top.
Josh was suddenly in a disadvantageous situation on the defensive end, and after being turned by Tang Wenlong, the defensive angle was very bad, and he was forced to take a step back inside, exchanging space for a more advantageous position for defense.
However, Tang Wenlong's reading and defensive ability is very strong, and this time he suddenly stopped suddenly, and it was useless to even retreat, so he jumped and shot directly.
The body floated backwards weakly, and there was a large backward lean, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket after the shot, splashing white net flowers.
Opening the game with a mid-range shot, fans in the Wajovia Centre raised their hands in celebration of the successful attack.
Tang Wenlong went back along the sideline to defend back, Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi looked at him with a smile, he stretched out his big hand, and the two crystal white jade hands stretched out and put them there, he walked over and high-fived with the two of them, causing Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi to "giggle" and laugh non-stop.
Josh saw the scene of Tang Wenlong interacting with his sister on the sidelines, his eyes breathed fire, this is too much to take them seriously!
The Hawks offense, opened up space for Teague and Marvin to block and dismantle, Marvin Williams shot 39 percent from three-point range this season, the highest season of his career so far, and when he played with the guard, the effect was very outstanding, Marvin was able to hit the basket with superhuman physical fitness, and he could also withdraw to outside the three-point line with his outstanding hand feel to shoot three-pointers, and the victory over the Celtics was also thanks to his explosion on the bench.
This block and dismantle immediately blocked Lowry, and Teague directly faced David West, dribbling and running wildly, instantly opening up the distance between him and Marvin.
Lowry, who caught up behind, did not give up the chase, and formed a pinch attack with West on Teague, Teague's eyes wandered, and the ball passed between Lowry and West like a stitch, and was given to Marven, who was just starting and ready to go down.
Marvin Williams got the basketball, grabbed the basketball with one hand and flew up, hitting the 76ers' basket like a mountain.
"Bang!"
The roar was transmitted to every corner of the stadium, and the beast-like physiconess was undoubtedly revealed...... (To be continued.) )
