"The gap between the two teams is too big." The host of the imperial court station said with a smile, "The Rockets' offense is not bad, but the defense has a big problem. Whether it is Iguodala or Tang Wenlong, they are the top ones in terms of physical fitness in the swingman position, while the Rocket's talent is very limited. ”

"That's right, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala cooperate tacitly, and the coordination of one attack and one defense is almost perfect."

"What's even more terrifying is that when Iguodala appears on the weak side, Tang Wenlong will inevitably form a complement to him, two people one cut, one retreats to the three-point line, but they both have three-point shooting ability, which is a huge help to open up the entire court space."

"The Rockets have to hang, the outside line can't be guarded, and the inside line loses rebounds."

"No wonder there are rumors in the United States that the Rockets are interested in trading Battier, and the veteran, who is almost 33 years old, finally can't keep up with the pace of youth."

On the court, the 76ers were obviously in better shape than the Rockets, and after coming off the bench in the second quarter, the point difference widened.

By the end of the half, the 76ers had a 65-47 lead of as many as 18 points, of which Tang Wenlong alone contributed 19 points, turning a focus battle into a point chasing battle.

At halftime, Rocket Bear interacted with the audience quite enthusiastically, and it was a lottery, and he was riding a car or something.

"After this game, I will go straight to the holiday, oops, it's really fun." During the break in the dressing room, the players were talking and laughing.

"It's a pity for our Don, he's going to have All-Star Weekend, that's tiring." Iguodala laughed, and the topic led to Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong said: "Andre, don't make fun of me, I'm just a rookie who participates for the first time, and it's purely soy sauce." ”

"But then again, those coaches were blind that they didn't select our Andre as an All-Star." Louis-Williams said indignantly.

"That's it, even Joe Johnson was selected, and this guy's data is only 18+4, why?" Speights was also dissatisfied.

It's like opening a mode, and everyone has complained about this all-star selection mechanism.

"That Celtics only won five or six more games than us, and they were selected as four All-Stars at once, although they are all old guys who have had glory, but according to the current data and the effect on the team, I think our Andre should obviously be selected."

Tang Wenlong listened embarrassedly on the side, although everyone was talking about Iguodala's failure to be selected as an All-Star, but here he was selected for the All-Star Game alone, which felt weird.

Iguodala seemed to see Tang Wenlong's embarrassment and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's the team's record that comes first, we're in good shape right now, and we have a lot to do in the playoffs. It's better not to go to Los Angeles, and rest is better for the next half of the schedule. ”

"Hey, I was just stunned by those coaches in the league, how did I choose this." Louis Williams said.

All All-Stars in the East and West were released, with Don Wenlong, Wade, James, Stoudemire and Howard starting the East, and Rose, Rondo, Ray Allen, Pierce, Garnett, Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh off the bench. The West starters were Chris Paul, Kobe, Durant, Anthony and Yao Ming, and the benches were Duncan, Gasol, Ginobili, Griffin, Nowitzki, Westbrook and Delon.

Among them, Yao Ming, the starting center in the West, confirmed that he could not participate in the All-Star due to injury, and the president of the league, David Stern, selected the Timberwolves' super power forward Kevin Love to replace him in the All-Star Game. The latter has played a jaw-dropping 20+15 super double-double stats this season and has maintained a back-to-back double-double stats so far.

The head coach for the East is Doug Rivers from the Celtics, and the West is Greg Popovich from the Spurs.

Before the All-Star Game began, Popovich confirmed that he would choose his disciple Tim Duncan to replace Yao Ming as the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars.

The most discussed of these days is the upcoming All-Star Game, an NBA event and the best opportunity to promote the season.

At the same time, Tang Wenlong and Griffin, two rookies, were selected as All-Stars together, which is rare in the history of the league, dating back to the last time two rookie seasons were selected as All-Stars at the same time, or in the 84-85 season more than 20 years ago, at that time, two players who were selected for the NBA All-Star Game together, one is named Hakiem Olajuwon, and the other is called Michael Jordan

"There should be a lot of beautiful female stars in the All-Star Game, haha, you kid has a good eye." Nocioni lowered his voice and said to Tang Wenlong, with an expression on his face.

Tang Wenlong looked upright, "What do you say, am I that kind of person?" ”

Nocioni showed a strange expression and a puzzled expression, "It's strange, I didn't say anything, what kind of person are you?" ”

Tang Wenlong: ""

In the hustle and bustle, the second half began.

Rockets fans still have hope for the team, although they are a big hole behind, but in this league that performs miracles every day, it is not particularly impossible to recover 20 points.

Tang Wenlong got a chance in the first attack in the second half.

Iguodala rushed to the Rockets' hinterland with Kevin Martin, threw the ball out again, and transferred it to Tang Wenlong, who was 45 degrees from the left three-point line. Tang Wenlong made a false shot, but in fact, he made a big breakthrough with his right step, and the changing sense of rhythm caught Battier off guard, and Tang Wenlong rushed straight in!

"Quick, too fast!" Adelman on the sidelines was nervous and had a bad premonition.

Whew――

Tang Wenlong saw the speed of the storm at the edge of the penalty area, and the sneakers rubbed violently on the floor, causing a sharp and piercing friction sound.

Hayes' eyes widened, then he turned away.

Tang Wenlong Huo Ran rose into the air, lifted the ball into the air with a straight arm, glided in the air for a distance in a dashing manner, and then pressed the ball into the frame with one hand.

67 to 47, Tang Wenlong scored 21 points.

"It's buckled again, this kid has been deducted like this, it's not good for the body." On the 76ers bench, Nocioni smiled and said to a big black man on the side.

There was an envious look in the big black man's eyes, "If I can have this opportunity, I will also deduct it, the kind that uses all my strength." ”

"Hassan, don't worry, you are still young, you have opportunities, and the future will definitely be yours." Nocioni encouraged that the black big man was Hassan Whiteside, who was traded with Lowry, although he was traded to the 76ers, but Whiteside did not have many opportunities to play, and he had Durham Porter, Thaddeus Young, Speights, Hawes and others in front of him to steadily occupy playing time. In the remaining opportunities, he will have to fight Tony Barty and Greg Brightins, and the pressure is no less than when he was a king.

Whiteside heard Nocioni's encouragement, and his suppressed face relaxed slightly, "I hope the Rockets are weaker again, then I will have a chance to perform today." ”

"Haha, don't worry, it is estimated that they will disarm and surrender in three sections." Nocioni laughed.

Nocioni's prediction was very accurate, usually in the third quarter, Tang Wenlong played the most excited, and today against the Rockets, whom he had been constantly hearing about when he was in school, he was even more in shape.

Sudden points, blocking and dismantling, mid-range emergency stops, Tang Wenlong showed various weapons in the arsenal, and constantly widened the gap with Team Rocket.

The camera showed Yao Ming in a suit on the sidelines, Yao Ming's expression was serious, as if he was worried about such a difficult situation for the team.

Tang Wenlong played the entire third quarter and scored a total of 29 points, while the 76ers led by 23 points 91-68, beating the Rockets by a few points in almost every quarter, perfectly showing the same strength as suppression.

In the fourth quarter, Tang Wenlong did not play again, and after the Rockets fought for four minutes with the final starting bench mixed lineup, they saw that there was still no hope of chasing points, so they replaced all the substitutes, even including retired players like Brad Miller and rookies like Isamel Smith.

Similarly, the 76ers also made a fringe player, and Whiteside finally waited for the opportunity to partner Tony Barty on the inside and show his energy.

The spectators watched the final half of the game, and when they saw that it was garbage time, they left the Toyota Center one after another.

When the final whistle sounded, the 76ers beat the Rockets 116-95 by nearly 30 points, and Tang Wenlong scored 29 points in 27 minutes, which was outrageously efficient.

The camera also always gave Tang Wenlong's face, and the yellow-skinned face once again became the brightest star of the Toyota Center in Houston.

Tang Wenlong walked over to greet Yao Ming by himself, and the two patted each other on the shoulder after shaking hands.

"Come on, enjoy All-Star Weekend."

Tang Wenlong smiled: "Okay, you also come on to recover, waiting to fight with you"
