Chapter 179: A Man's Hanging
Tang Wenlong didn't expect it to feel so good today, although he was very tired, he had a feeling of still being stoned in the sea.
The king called a timeout just to interrupt Tang Wenlong's hot hand, the players returned to the bench, and head coach Paul Westphale had no tactical arrangements to say, and people threw them directly from a meter away, how to prevent this?
"Stick to him, don't let him shoot three-pointers!" The head coach can only say this, with a helpless face.
After the pause came back, Salmons was like a great enemy, like kraft candy, sticking to Tang Wenlong's body, and the whole audience did not dare to let go of a single step.
Two minutes later, Tang Wenlong still received the ball at 45 degrees, and the Kings players were short of breath, this guy ......
He held the ball and raised his hand to shoot a false feint, because the action was realistic, because of the super high shooting rate in front, Salmmons unconsciously jumped on his feet.
Tang Wenlong easily bent down to break through, and took a step sideways.
Salmons returned to the ground and immediately retreated to defend like a bird, but he didn't want Tang Wenlong to suddenly retreat after a step, and the whole person just withdrew outside the three-point line, and then raised his hand to shoot.
The basketball flew up lightly, the arc was not high, and it swirled and wiped the net!
17-12, Tang Wenlong hit 4 three-pointers in a row!
The crowd gave a standing ovation, each facing each other and shouting, and if it weren't for the stands, they couldn't help but jump, which was amazing!
Replaying slow motion, Tang Wenlong stepped back and shot backwards, and Salmons pounced, looking quite well defended. But his shot was still steady. Still able to hit.
The camera shows Kings head coach Paul. Just as he shook his head, his face speechless.
The four three-pointers completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the fans in the Wajovia Center arena, and also completely stimulated the fighting spirit and morale of the 76ers players, and the physical fatigue of the 76ers was swept away, as if a new force was injected into the heart, and the defensive intensity and offensive aggressiveness of the whole team immediately increased by a layer.
Tang Wenlong's fifth three-point shot in a single quarter was before the second forced timeout, and this time he failed to hit, causing the audience to sigh.
But after the forced pause returned. He is still very confident. Before the first quarter of the game, he suddenly pulled up a jumper at the top of the arc, and the offensive options were very unreasonable.
The basketball "smacked" and hollowed into the net.
Tang Wenlong raised his arms high and maintained a shooting posture for three seconds, obviously it was just an ordinary three-pointer, but he threw a lore temperament.
At the end of the first quarter, he scored 23 points on 7-of-9 shooting, and inexplicably won nearly 15 points with the 76ers in a wave. But instead he was beaten by him alone.
Assistant coach Bob was amazed, "Tang Wenlong's game is simply amazing. I can't even understand how he did it. ”
Head coach Collins showed a gentle smile on his face and said: "Tang Wenlong's strongest point lies in his ability to adjust his own state, but there is no one who can prevent him on the outside of the king in this game, although Salmons is experienced, he has never been known for his defense, and he is weaker than Tang Wenlong in height and strength." ”
On the court, Isaiah Thomas, the second round finalist of the Kings' new pick this year, ran up, the little man was only 1.75 meters tall, but he was full of spirit on the court, and the basketball was almost impossible to break under his control. It's just that Louis Williams doesn't happen to be tall, so he can match this small man who is extremely fast.
The second lineup evolved into a battle of speed, and the pace was very fast.
By the time Tang Wenlong came on the court, the 76ers had already scored 49 points, and the Kings only scored 37 points at this time, and the time was just over halfway through the second quarter.
Isaiah Thomas didn't play like a second-round pick at all, and was allowed by head coach Paul to stay on the court to play, as soon as Tang Wenlong came on the court, Lowry immediately made a block with him, and then switched defenses, Tang Wenlong raised the basketball outside the three-point line, and turned his back against Thomas, who looked like a schoolboy.
"This is an absolute misalignment, does the king want to wrap it?" Barkley exclaimed.
The 76ers' players quickly pulled away from the position, giving Tang Wenlong space to play alone, and Isaiah Thomas pressed his thin arm against Tang Wenlong, with a feeling of facing the mountains.
Tang Wenlong moved, leaned on his back, and slammed into Thomas's chest.
Thomas only felt a huge force coming out, and his body unconsciously retreated, and then the whole person had a feeling of being hit by a truck and flying out.
"Bang!" Tang Wenlong's footsteps moved to keep up, and he bumped into it again like a bully, and at this time he had already hit the elbow area.
Evans really couldn't stand it, let go of the vacant Meeks, ran to wrap Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong saw Evans who was about to wrap up in the corner of his eye, stopped leaning back, used his right foot as the axis, turned his left foot one hundred and eighty degrees, and lightly turned around and threw a backward jumper.
"It's still leaning back, it's out of reach...... "Thomas was drunk.
Such a shot was easy, Tang Wenlong pressed down on his wrist and gently pulled the ball out, and hit another mid-range.
In fact, he just thought about retreating, but when he thought of Isaiah Thomas's defense, he suddenly reacted, as if there was no need for such an extra move.
The more he shot, the more he felt his hand, and although the game passed half a quarter, he continued the form of the first quarter.
After three rounds, the Kings made an offensive mistake and was stolen by Iguodala to steal the pass, Tang Wenlong and Lowry made a fast attack, and Iguodala found Tang Wenlong with a long pass.
Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball, but slowed down outside the three-point line and made a three-point shot from the ground.
Return! It was his sixth three-pointer of the half, and his personal score had reached his 30th point! At this time, the Philadelphia 76ers led by 18 points 59-41, and the difference was getting bigger and bigger.
Thanks to Thomas, who also hit a three-pointer, the Kings were able to continue the idea of chasing points, otherwise it felt like they were about to collapse.
So far this season, the Kings have lost five of their six games, and have lost three in a row before that, and if they lose this game again, the Kings will be at the bottom of the league, which is really not a glorious thing.
So Sacramento's management is also anxious, it stands to reason that the Kings have Evans and Cousins, both of whom are young people with outstanding potential, and there is no reason to play like this, so I just can't figure it out.
Tang Wenlong doesn't know the sadness of the Kings, he just thinks that today's hand feels very good, maybe the King is a noble man on the road to the revival of the 76ers, isn't it?
He flared his arms, sweated, and made jumpers with bent arms.
And basketball is like the sharpest knife, hollowing into the net again and again, penetrating the opponent's heart again and again (to be continued). )
