The halftime lead was the Thunder, who had a narrow two-point advantage.

If you only watch half of the game, it seems that the Thunder without Harden will not have much weakness, at least against the 76ers, you can still not fall behind.

This made many Oklahoma media reporters immediately think about the next article to write, Harden's departure made the Thunder more like a group? The Thunder give up the cancer and will win the championship in the new season?

The opener has always been a high-profile game, and after a tumultuous summer of trading market turmoil, fans are eager to see how teams change and improve in the new season. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have introduced a number of veterans, can no longer be regarded as a youth army, their roster depth is significantly stronger, and Collins can play more and more cards at critical moments.

And the Thunder, who lost a big general, can be on par with the 76ers, which is both surprising and natural.

After all, the Thunder's leading stars, Westbrook and Durant, heard that the summer has also undergone intensive training and personal training, and the two people are all of the Thunder, the stronger the ability of the two people, the stronger the Thunder team, and the better the two people play, the better the Thunder team will be.

In the second half, the two sides returned to the field to continue the game.

Durant has indeed improved a lot, and his ball-handling ability seems to have improved after a summer of training, which directly makes his offensive ability with the ball go up a notch.

Tang Wenlong struggled to defend, and failed to completely lock up Durant with several balls, allowing Durant to get space to shoot, and then hit the shot.

At the end of the third quarter, the Thunder led the 76ers by two points, 79-77.

At this time, Durant scored 24 points, Tang Wenlong got 19 points and 7 rebounds, and both of them couldn't guard each other, making it seem like playing match-fixing.

In the crucial fourth quarter, the Thunder's bench representative took the lead in standing up, and the newly recruited quasi-All-Star Kevin Martin completed his individual offense in a row, not only hitting a mid-range jumper, but also receiving a three-pointer from the inside to hit the bottom corner, which scored five points in a row, forcing Collins to call a timeout to contain him.

"Mine!" Ray Allen raised his hand to signal that the responsibility for these two waves of defense was on him.

"Rotate your defense quickly and trust your teammates." Collins spoke to Ray Allen and Butler that the defensive coordination between the two was problematic.

Both of them nodded, very solemnly.

After the pause, Butler received a pass from Ray Allen, took a step on the line of the penalty area, and flew directly to dunk, and the Thunder veteran Collison didn't have time to make up for the defense, watching Butler complete the dunk.

"Jimmy has a superstar temperament." Tang Wenlong, who was on the bench, turned his head and said to Iguodala.

Iguodala agreed with Tang Wenlong's opinion, and then said half-mockingly: "Then I may have to give way to him in a few years, his growth rate is very amazing." ”

"Hahaha!" Tang Wenlong laughed dryly twice, and secretly scolded himself for not opening which pot to mention.

But he definitely thinks crookedly, Iguodala is a real team-oriented player, he doesn't care about the stats, he doesn't care about the playing time, he doesn't care about the status of the team, he really cares about winning the game, even if it's a substitute for this he is willing, when he was in college, his mentor used to describe him like that.

Five minutes later, Tang Wenlong took the lead in substitutions, and Butler came off the game to rest with the remaining 7 minutes and 13 seconds of the game.

And taking advantage of this dead ball, the Thunder also took the opportunity to replace Durant, at this time the Thunder team has returned to the starting five Tigers lineup, the 76ers' Lowry and Iguodala have not yet played, Collins intends to let Tang Wenlong partner with two veterans to try to see if there is tacit chemistry.

Needless to say, the basketball IQ of the veterans is naturally needless to say, although many of the 76ers' fixed tactical routines may not be remembered, but with only consistent basketball experience, they will appear in the right place on the court, Tang Wenlong took the ball in the high position, Ray Allen immediately withdrew from the bottom corner to ambush, and Billups was 45 degrees ready to respond at any time.

Tang Wenlong's heels were slightly off the ground, the forefoot of his right foot stepped on the ground to exert force, and after shaking the ball with both hands, he directly began to break through to the right side, simple and violent.

Durant couldn't keep up, he was half a position behind in the first step, and he was stuck directly behind in the second step, and he was out of position all of a sudden.

"Supplement!" Durant shouted, the Thunder immediately contracted their defense, and the first one to come to help the defense was Durant's first paparazzi Ibaka, and the two of them attacked back and forth, blocking a large space around Tang Wenlong at once. Tang Wenlong shook the ball and distributed the ball to Billups, who moved to the high post, without looking at anyone.

Billups kept the ball in his hands and gave a through ball to David West, who was open under the basket.

West got up to put the basket, and Ibaka was a little slower when he made up for it, and his big hand ran over West's head without touching anything.

Thunder attack, Westbrook forced Billups, pull-up jump shot near the free throw line, missed.

The rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong again, this is his eighth rebound of the game, his rebounding ability seems to have improved enough after a playoff game, such as this basketball ball prediction point, he is obviously faster than Durant, it seems to be picking up a defensive rebound, but in fact, it also tests many aspects of ability.

After two more rounds, the Thunder attacked and directly bumped into Ray Allen and was whistled for an offensive foul.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!" Tang Wenlong smiled and pulled Ray Allen up from the ground, the old fritters' prediction of defense was simply coquettish, and he fell to the ground and slid as soon as he was hit, as if he was hit by a locomotive, so miserable that the referee subconsciously blew the whistle.

"Small means, small means." Ray Allen is not proud of this, many players in the league do it, and this style has intensified in recent years.

After a dead-ball timeout, Collins brought Lowry and Iguodala on the field.

Durant hit a three-pointer after a timeout, and the Thunder led the 76ers by five points at 100-95 and entered the triple-digit stage first.

At this time, Tang Wenlong was not to be outdone, and he shot with a single block on the outside, and also hit a 3-pointer in color.

At this stage, the whole team of the 76ers is also starting to get nervous and fighting, after all, this is an important opening game, and a good start is a good thing for a whole season. What's more, the championship ring was just presented today, so it's impossible to lose to the finals opponent who swept last season, right?

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, and in the last 2 minutes and 18 seconds, Tang Wenlong hit a layup to tie the score at 108.

At the critical moment, it was Durant who stood up, he received a pass from Westbrook in the high post after covering the run, and took a step sideways to directly pull out the jumper, Tang Wenlong covered his whole face, but the basketball fell into the basket after hitting the board, and the Thunder led by 2 points at the critical moment.

The game was tense and suffocating, the 76ers gave Tang Wenlong, and Tang Wenlong gave Lowry a breakthrough after being sandwiched.

A throw from Lowry at a crucial moment!

missed, but the rebound was touched by the Thunder out of the bottom line.

In the last 41.9 seconds, it was Tang Wenlong's step-back jumper that hit the most critical jumper in the game, and the two sides tied at 100.

The Thunder took a timeout, and Coach Brooks assigned Durant to execute the key shot, opting for a quick offense of less than 10 seconds.

Because the Thunder wanted to make up the time for the last offense, the idea was right, but the trajectory of basketball changed, and when Durant was holding the ball, he actually dribbled the ball on the instep of his foot and bounced directly into Iguodala's hands.

This was a fatal mistake, Tang Wenlong immediately turned around and rushed forward, at this time the Thunder team did not have time to retreat, he received a long pass from Iguodala alone, and chose a free throw line in front of Westbrook to jump with both feet, and the technical action of a quick dunk with both hands, Westbrook and Ben could not block him.

There were 30 seconds left, but it was left for the 76ers to have one last chance to attack.

In this wave of offense, the Thunder failed to shoot, and Durant was steadily blocked by Tang Wenlong and Iguodala, and they were able to attack at the critical moment when the rest of the Thunder team was not working.

Sure enough, Westbrook's layup was interfered with, and after deflecting out, the rebound was grabbed by Marc Gasol.

At this time, the Thunder immediately fouled, and Gasol went to the free throw line and hit both free throws, and the 76ers led by four points at 104-100, with more than a dozen seconds left in the game.

Durant missed a three-point jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong and sent him to the free throw line.

Tang Wenlong hit both free throws, 106-100, and the Thunder completely lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Thunder 107-100 at home, and Tang Wenlong scored 29 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists in the game. (To be continued.) )
