Chapter 197: Exercising Newcomers

Among the stars among the stars, the brightest one became Tang Wenlong, and everyone became his foil.

Looking back on the 12 years of the All-Star Game, people will still only remember the yellow-skinned youth who was the first ever to win the All-Star Game MVP, unique.

Some people say that Tang Wenlong is already a top five superstar in the league, and the 2K company adjusted Tang Wenlong's ability to 90 in a timely manner, of which the offensive ability is a terrifying 95, in the league, only James and Kobe's offensive ability is still above him, and even Durant, who has won several scoring titles, has an offensive score of only 94 at this time.

Either way, the rise of the youth army in this shrinking season has been an unstoppable trend.

As soon as the All-Star break passed, more teams in the league were hit by injuries, and many stars suffered serious injuries due to fatigue, and even season reimbursement.

All the teams were in good spirits, they couldn't play back-to-back, and they would rather give up a game or two.

And the only one in the league who will carry forward the word "rotation rest" is the Spurs, the old coach Popovich is simply the most magical existence among the coaches, and a group of old men have kept it well in this shrinking season, and it does not affect the record, making a bunch of experts fall to the ground.

On March 1, the 76ers flew to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder.

The Thunder currently have the second highest record in the West, Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, and the Thunder's uniform group interprets the concept of the league's excellent picks, becoming the most successful team that has grown up by relying on the draft in recent years.

The 76ers and the Thunder are different in that they were already strong contenders for the league's playoffs before Tang Wenlong's arrival. After Tang Wenlong's arrival. With him at the core. After two years of operation, the 76ers have strengthened various shortcomings and become a powerhouse in the East.

Such a two-team game immediately attracted many eyeballs.

……

On the plane to Oklahoma, Mark Gasol sat next to Tang Wenlong, holding an iPad in his hand and wearing headphones to look at the talk show that Tang Wenlong participated in with a sneer.

"Hahaha, that's funny!" Gasol chuckled nervously. Reached out and patted Tang Wenlong on the shoulder.

Tang Wenlong's face darkened, is it so funny?

"You actually want to be with Cameron, are you bent, well, I don't mean to discriminate against Brokeback." Gasol speaks very fast, perhaps because he speaks too much Spanish, and has a lot of tongue rolls.

"That host is so dirty, I didn't mean that."

"Hey, I heard that all 76 of us went to China for an event last summer, and we took a group photo in front of the Oriental Pearl. Will you go back this year? I would love to go to China too. Gasol asked, turning his head.

Tang Wenlong smiled: "It doesn't matter if you want to go, you can go." And no one will stop you. ”

"There may not be events this year, but there are also the London Olympics, so the time is very tight. Anyway, if you come here, I will definitely take you everywhere to appreciate my motherland, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Gasol hooked Tang Wenlong's neck and grinned: "Good brother, then you remember to take me to fly......"

The 76ers' roster is not complete, David West, Hawes are on the injury list, Louis Williams also missed the game because of the flu, President Stefanschi signed two temporary workers on 10-day contracts from the free market, one named Brightings and the other named Elson, both players from the development league, 25 or 6 years old, can run and jump.

The Thunder team has a relatively complete lineup, and the starters have not suffered any injuries, and the rookie in '09, Eric Maynor, is out due to injury, and he is only a fringe man on the Thunder team.

The Thunder also have a 10-game rookie in the Athletic mix - Cole Aldridge.

He was a talented center at the University of Kansas, but now he sits firmly on the fringe by the water cooler, unable to find a direction for the future with the Thunder. Like Tang, he is in his second year of career, but he is currently averaging less than eight minutes per game for the Thunder.

So in this game, there are not a few experts who are optimistic about the Thunder winning.

The newly renamed Chesapeake Energy Arena was packed with fans cheering on the Thunder, a team that has only been in the season and is now the pride of Oklahoma to see how the home team beats tough opponents.

Tang Wenlong has become the opposite character again, the imaginary enemy of the dream of Thunder fans to win the championship.

After the start of the game, Westbrook, who had been holding his stomach in the All-Star Game, took the lead, he forced Lowry to win, rushed into the Thunder's interior, and made a beautiful gliding layup in front of the defense center Gasol, which won full applause.

Even more unhappy is Durant, who scored 36 points in the All-Star Game and failed to shoot the whistle at the last minute, if the West wins, the All-Star Game MVP will definitely be him.

Therefore, Tang Wenlong, who won the MVP, became the character who took away the fruits of victory, and when the two of them saw the 76ers coming to fight, their combat effectiveness instantly exploded to one hundred and two.

The decibels of the refueling were deafening, Westbrook did not connect the team, holding the ball was like getting a dynamite bag, and the head was rushing inside, Collins looked bad, and arranged the team's joint defense after the first forced timeout.

So at this time, Harden, who was substituted on the court, began to control the ball and organized the offense to shoot Durant on the outside, Westbrook's breakthrough was limited, and Durant and Harden hit three points one after another.

In the first quarter of the game, the 76ers fell behind by 13 points 22-35, digging a super hole for themselves.

Tang Wenlong's performance is also very average, the Thunder use Durant to defend him, Durant's height and arm span are above him, and his strength is slightly inferior, but he is full of confrontation ability, and his step-back jump shot has been seriously interfered with many times, and his efficiency has been greatly reduced.

Whiteside was scheduled to play by Collins, Joey Loyle, Jimmy Butler and other rookies had the opportunity to take the stage to feel the game, Collins did not pay too much attention to the record, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala were obviously a little tired from participating in the full star game, and the team could not rely on the old players to play forever, young people always need to be cultivated, and they always need to stand up.

Luis and Speights played with three young men, and against the bench led by Thunder Harden, they played well.

James Harden broke through Butler's defense after a shake, rushed to the 76ers inside and threw it to Whiteside, and flew off the sideline with a slap, which greatly boosted the team's morale.

"Good shot!" Iguodala got up from the bench and took the lead in applauding his younger brother.

Whiteside learned Tang Wenlong's all-star game fist hug moves, and also made a fist hug salute to the players resting on the bench, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala and others responded.

This action is a bit of a 76ers signature celebration action...... (To be continued.) )
