After a series of road trips to the west, the last stop was Golden State Bay.

The Warriors sent away their number one star Monta Ellis as they approached the trade deadline last year in exchange for the Bucks' Australian center, Bogut.

At that time, Bogut was still a super center at the peak of 28 years old, although the offense was average, basketball and defense were good at it. The only problem is that there are safety risks in him, just like Curry's ankle is always a human stunt, and Bogut, a big man of height and weight, with a history of injuries, has limited time and energy to contribute each night.

As some fans expected, not long after the start of the new season, Bogut suffered a major injury and was suspended until now.

So much so that the team had to use this year's rookie big Aizeli as the starter.

The problem is that Azeli is an out-and-out rough guy, and he will only dunk on the offensive end, and Warriors head coach Mark Jackson still uses David Lee as the No. 5 position most of the time, and the Warriors mainly play running and small lineups, and from the beginning of the season to the present, they are crazy to attack.

Last season was Curry's contract year, and Curry played only 26 games due to injury, and suffered a season write-off at the end of the season. Before the start of this year's season, the Warriors agreed to a contract extension with Curry, signing the player who is considered just a good shooter for four years and $44 million.

As a result, in the new season, Curry, who signed a "big contract", performed well, not only shooting accurately, but also excellent dribbling organization, averaging nearly 23 points and 7 assists per game, and shooting 45 percent from three-point range.

Tang Wenlong is concerned about his old friend Wesley Johnson, the Warriors used the No. 7 position this year to choose a small forward player who overlaps with his position Harrison Barnes, Barnes entered the team with excellent defense, strong physical fitness to conquer head coach Mark Jackson, the key is that his shooting is also good, and the offense with the ball is better than Wesley Johnson, forming a strong threat to the latter's playing time.

"No way, this new rookie is simply not strong." During the warm-up training, Wesley Johnson and Tang Wenlong reunited after a long absence, sitting on the sidelines of the court and chatting about these topics.

Tang Wenlong wrinkled his brows and said: "This year is your and my contract year, if you can't play good data this year, it will be very difficult to renew your contract next year, even Joe Thomas will be difficult to get a big contract for you." ”

"And" Wesley Johnson was a little downcast.

"And what?" Tang Wenlong was stunned and asked.

"No, you didn't see that guy." Wesley Johnson pouted, and his eyes fell on a big black player who was warming up very seriously on the court.

"Draymond Green?" Of course, Tang Wenlong knew this player who was a mess, and he played against this player when he was in college before, and he was very impressed.

Wesley Johnson sighed: "Drummond is really hardworking, he has the highest training volume in the league since he entered the league, and he has the highest concentration in both regular training and games. Back in December, you don't remember a game where 0.9 seconds before the end, this guy received a pass from Jarrett Jack and killed the Heat. ”

Tang Wenlong recalled it carefully, as if there was such a thing.

"The coach is very recognizant of this player, and although he has a big problem with his shooting right now, he has shown unparalleled quality in defense and rebounding."

"So you need to work harder, you are the No. 6 show, and you are my Tang Wenlong's teammate, how can you be compared to this gang? Working hard to practice defense and body training will actually touch the coach's heart. Tang Wenlong cheered up Wesley Johnson, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw his old friend's struggle.

"I will, borrow your auspicious words." Wesley Johnson said with a wry smile.

Tang Wenlong sighed, didn't say anything, and patted Wesley's shoulder.

Tang Wenlong didn't want to say too much, he still had to do the warm-up before the game, and the two of them returned to their respective venues after greeting each other.

After the audience has almost entered the arena and the lighting, photographers, and technical desk staff are all in place, the referee signaled that the appearance ceremony on both sides can be carried out.

76ers starters: Lowry, Iguodala, Tang Wenlong, David West, Marc Gasol. Warriors' starters: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, David Lee and Azeli.

Azeli jumped to beat Gasol, and the Warriors took control of the first wave of offense.

Curry expertly dribbled the ball behind his back with a crotch, and the basketball was manipulated around his body as if it were stuck to his hand, advancing evenly into the half court to face Lowry's defense.

Looking at Lowry, who was a little shorter than himself, Curry resisted the desire to shoot a three-pointer, distributed it to Thompson on one side, and began to run without the ball.

Tang Wenlong set his sights on Barnes, a rookie small forward who was said to have squeezed his friend off the starting spot, and followed him to the bottom corner on the left. Thompson and David Lee were the Warriors' regular season corner players, one of the off-ball screens withdrew to the three-point line, and the other was withdrawn to the baseline after the cover was over to prepare for the catch-up shot.

At this time, Thompson's ability to hold the ball was average, and he was even more presumptuous in front of the defensive master Iguodala, and directly made a short pass to David Lee.

David Lee took a step sideways to catch the ball, stood up to David West's defense, was interfered with, and missed.

Tang Wenlong rushed in to grab the rebound, at this time the Warriors had retreated from the half, Tang Wenlong took a look after grabbing the rebound, and gave up the idea of fast attack.

"The speed of this retreat is very good, no wonder it can win the Heat." Tang Wenlong secretly gave an evaluation.

Then he began to dribble the ball himself, and after halftime, he gave it to Lowry, who raised his arms high to direct his teammates to run, and the 76ers players pulled away and gathered together, Tang Wenlong ran out around the tactics to catch the ball, and turned his back to Thompson.

David West came out again to cover Tang Wenlong, and Tang Wenlong dribbled sideways.

In addition to protecting the ball, the advantage of such a dribble can also make defenders fall into offensive traps even more, such as Thompson at this moment, who didn't care a little and plunged into David West's arms.

After Tang Wenlong passed with the help of blocking, David Lee was forced to switch to Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong leaned over and dribbled the ball in big strides, the speed was terrifying! Frightened, David Lee hurriedly retreated and moved, and at the same time raised his hand to prepare for defense.

A hint of cunning flashed in Tang Wenlong's eyes as he dribbled, his feet paused, and his body turned from movement to stillness.

Fly into the air like a spring, half-turn and make a stop-and-go jumper!

When David Lee pounced, Tang Wenlong had already made a shot, and the basketball was tumbling in the air

plunged headlong into the net, and rolled up a burst of white net cables, like a splash of water. (To be continued.) )
