Chapter 174: Intensive Schedule

Once the regular season begins, time gets tight and life gets busy.

Racing, training, and then flying around in a plane, one moment on the fiery sandy beaches of the south, the next to the unique coconut trees of the West Coast.

After the shortened season, the schedule became more intensive, and two days after the opening game, the 76ers will travel to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

In the opening game on the first day, Tang Wenlong got a triple-double, which was a small fire, and the media took out his data to list and compare, compared with a certain superstar, and caught up with and surpassed. But the hottest thing is the Bulls' Derrick Rose, Rose challenged the Lakers away, and Stapes Sri finished a throw-up in the last 4 seconds to take the victory, and his performance began to be called a big heart.

After the competition, the agent team sent a message to Tang Wenlong, saying that they had inspected the location of the Philadelphia commercial project investment.

Tang Wenlong naturally has no opinion, he has long had the idea of starting his own store in Philadelphia, in addition to catering, he also hopes to be a basketball-themed game park or something, anyway, the investment is not large, and the two projects may add up to two or three million things.

At least when a friend visits Philadelphia in the future, he still has a regular place to receive him, doesn't he? It's always impossible to pull into your rented apartment.

On the plane from "Dragon Nest" to Phoenix, Tang Wenlong looked at the plan that was passed to him on the computer, and he was also speechless, no matter how the name sounded, it sounded like a game.

The Suns made a lot of moves in the summer, and the most puzzling thing was to cut the veteran Vince Carter who still had the strength to fight.

Later, Carter signed with the Mavericks, and the Mavericks won a new championship, and now they are all championship-level teams, which is for veterans, especially veterans who have not yet had a ring. It's a big temptation.

As for the Suns, the veteran Nash is almost 38 years old, but his competitive state is still very good, and he averaged 15+11 per game last season, and he also won the league's assist king. In yesterday's opener game against the Hornets, he scored 14 points and 12 assists on 5-of-10 shooting, and it was completely impossible to see how old he was.

So the medical level of the sun is at the forefront of the league. A player like Grant Hill who is plagued by conservative injuries can also have a second spring after the Suns.

For the Sun team doctor Tang Wenlong, he was like thunder, thinking that if he was too old to fight in the future, he would go to the Suns team for maintenance.

Tang Wenlong and Nash also knew each other, and the two exchanged pleasantries before the game and exchanged some experiences in the game, mainly because Tang Wenlong was listening, and there was always a lot worth learning from the words of the old-timers.

Collins told Lowry before the game to defend Nash well.

As a result, the young little steel cannon came to life. Turning on the young man's infinite physical strength mode against Nash, the whole audience stared at Nash running, and also looked for physical confrontation, not at all humble to the elderly.

No way, who made this a competitive sport?

In the end, Nash was left after only 17 minutes of defensive play, and he was in a terrible state to shoot only 2 of 11 and score 4 points. There were only 2 assists and 6 turnovers. The team's main force was completely suppressed by the 76ers.

The 76ers won 20 points effortlessly 103-83 away from home, and Tang Wenlong scored 19 points in the third quarter, and only used 9 shots, mostly free throws for fouls, and the scoring efficiency was extremely high.

And that's not all, the 76ers' road trip to the West isn't over yet. After playing the Suns, I went to play the Jazz back-to-back.

Flying from Phoenix to Salt Lake City in less than 24 hours, the players' physical and mental state was very poor, and even Tang Wenlong was obviously not used to the feeling of the plateau.

The result was right in Utah, in Salt Lake City, where the 76ers lost 99-105.

In fact, the shooting percentages of both teams are not bad. The 76ers shot 48.1 percent from 73 of 77 shots, but the 76ers' three-point shooting percentage was too embarrassing, hitting only 3 of 19 shots, not even 20 percent shooting, while the Jazz shot 6 of 16, close to 4 percent shooting.

Philadelphia fans thought that the team could start with three straight wins and occupy the first place in the East, but they didn't want to have their dream shattered so soon.

On the last day of 2011, the 76ers arrived in Golden State.

Both teams are currently 2-1, the Warriors lost to the Clippers in the opening game, but won the Bulls and Knicks, I don't see any changes, it's still the shooting team that runs and bombs, but the team's core Ellis is injured again, I don't know how long it will take to recuperate this time.

The Golden State Chronicle is rumored to say that Golden State Warriors management is taking a wait-and-see approach to Monta Ellis, who, while aggressively sharp, is not really efficient and often becomes a point of attack on the defensive end.

If Ellis is injured and doesn't play, then the Golden State Warriors' two-gun will be left with Stephen Curry, which is good news for the 76ers.

When it came to the evening game, Collins saw that the Golden State Warriors had put Klay Thompson, a rookie who had just been selected in the draft, into the starting lineup of Curry, Thompson, Wesley Johnson, David Lee and Andres Biedrins.

"Brother, you're getting stronger!" Before the game, Wesley Johnson and Tang Wenlong embraced, and the two college alumni met again, but their experiences were different.

The Warriors' Dorel Wright has improved at an astonishing rate, Wesley Johnson has been a talented player in the low post, and he is now a defensive role player on the Warriors, and although the head coach still trusts him, it is difficult for him to develop further.

"Hey, you should play to your strengths." Tang Wenlong looked at Wesley's torment, and he couldn't bear it, but competitive sports are so cruel.

"Thankfully, I can still guard some players and the Warriors need my type." Wesley Johnson said with a wry smile.

Tang Wenlong comforted: "I don't think you have to be too pressured, I think players and coaches like you like to use it, if you can't hold the ball, then don't hold the ball, do a good job of defense, throw in the basketball that can be thrown, you know, such a player will be very hot." ”

"Well, hopefully it's going to catch fire." Wesley Johnson responded with a smile as Tang Wenlong was comforted.

Tang Wenlong raised his eyebrows, and then asked in a mysterious whisper: "Is Monta going to be traded, I feel that the Warriors are enough to have Curry, right?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything." Wesley Johnson flatly denied it, but looking at his expression, there should be such a thing.

"Hey, hey." Tang Wenlong laughed twice, "You still don't understand, this is a normal category in the NBA, the existence of business, you come and go, everything is driven by interests." (To be continued.) )
