Chapter 215: Omnipotent
"If only Alonzo Ki were still here, he wouldn't be given what he wanted." Byron Scott thought wishfully that he felt that because the team's main small forward had just been out of action just two days ago, today's lineup would be so embarrassing.
What's even more annoying is that he is still hesitating whether to wrap the clip, if he doesn't wrap it, looking at Tang Wenlong's state today, it is very likely that he will cut down 50+, and if he doesn't do it, the knight will be nailed to the pillar of shame by others.
"Bag Clip!" After hesitating for 3 seconds, Scott made up his mind to go for the bag, maybe the rest of the 76ers felt bad? Maybe Tang Wenlong's hit rate has dropped? Maybe the rotation defense would be better?
He had ten thousand in his heart, and he had thought of a thousand knightly favorable pictures. Standing on the sidelines, Owen, the champion who was concentrating on defending Louis on the court, gave instructions to wrap Tang Wenlong, "Kyrie, wrap him, don't let him score easily!" ”
Irving glanced back at Scott in surprise, didn't he say the one-on-one Jordan rule before the game? Why has it changed again?
However, he still listened to the head coach's advice for the first time, and moved in small steps to approach Tang Wenlong, who was receiving the ball in the low post.
Tang Wenlong swept his afterglow, took a step in advance, turned left to dribble to the baseline, and then turned over and leaned back with the same action, which was very large.
Anthony Parker looked up at Tang Wenlong, jumped up thirty centimeters with all his might, and reached out to cover Tang Wenlong's eyes.
"Huh!" Or hits!
On the sidelines, Scott clapped his hands and shouted, "Good defense, good defense, that's how to defend!" He saw Tang Wenlong turn around and jump shot early. And Anthony Parker also anticipated Tang Wenlong's moves. The defense was in place. It's just that people feel good and throw it in again, he doesn't believe that Tang Wenlong will be so accurate throughout the game.
Tang Wenlong glanced at Scott, who was yelling, the head coach of the knights is really jumping very strong, and he has a strong sense of presence!
After the second forced timeout, Tang felt the Cavaliers' defensive pressure on him intensify, and Irving and Manny Harris looked like they were coming over anytime and anywhere.
At this time, he had scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first quarter, and the 76ers were able to lead the Cavaliers by six points at 24-18. Both teams look to be able to consistently hit the next goal.
With 3:57 left remaining, the Cavaliers swapped for tall small forward Omi Casby and inside lineman Samardo Samuels. The 76ers, on the other hand, replaced Butler with Meeks and brought on two interior players with Loyle and Whiteside.
After the 76ers suffered a large number of injuries, several rookies have had opportunities to perform, such as Whiteside, who has been playing very well after coming off the bench recently, and management is debating whether to focus on developing this dynamic and promising young man.
Neither Owen nor Tang Wenlong went off the break. Both looked like they were going to play the first quarter.
The Cavaliers attacked, and Irving dribbled continuously under the crotch. It was hard to tell if it was going left or right, and the Cavaliers' Thompson ran out to make a pick-and-roll for him, and Irving stuck to the ball and drilled inside.
Tang Wenlong once again abandoned the defenders, moved his footsteps and quietly slipped towards the inside line.
Owen broke through leisurely, faced with Whiteside's defense one step away, shook his shoulder a few times and then suddenly threw the ball, and directly chose a throw to end the attack.
"Smack!"
Tang Wenlong suddenly appeared like a flying fairy in the sky, stretched out his hand in the air, and knocked the ball out like a volleyball player, as loudly as if he had been slapped in the face.
Owen looked up dumbfounded, his face burning hot.
"I'm sorry, a little too hard." Tang Wenlong shrugged his shoulders and made a somewhat helpless look, but in fact, he couldn't do it, which made people want to beat him.
The 76ers attacked, Luis hit the ground and passed to Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong received the ball and turned directly to the side, past Omi Cosby, who was defending him.
Omi Kasbi is an Israeli athlete who was selected by the Kings with the 23rd pick in '09, with a well-rounded technique and very solid fundamentals. But in terms of his defense, Cosby isn't particularly qualified, especially when it comes to lateral foot movement.
Tang Wenlong saw that the Cosby who was defending him was a few centimeters taller than him, and he didn't look like a thin and agile small forward, so he decisively chose to move his feet to break through.
Sure enough, Cosby couldn't keep up with his first move, and the defense was in a disadvantageous position.
Tang Wenlong turned sideways and dribbled the ball diagonally for a few steps, and Cosby grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly and didn't dare to let go, barely keeping up with Tang Wenlong's pace.
Tang Wenlong suddenly took a step forward with his left foot and then made a sudden turn with his left foot as the axis, this time the turn was too sudden, and the connection to his dribble was so fast that people didn't have time to react at all, Cosby couldn't retract his center of gravity because of inertia, and was stuck behind him by Tang Wenlong's turn, and instantly lost his defensive position.
Tang Wenlong hugged the basketball, stretched his body, leaned forward with his long arms, grabbed the basketball with five fingers, and hollowed out a little space in the middle.
With a slight flick of his fingertips, the basketball was pulled out and spun around to hit a board outside the paint area, just past Samuels, who rushed to help defend the block.
The 76ers led 26-18.
"Wow, Tang Wenlong is simply a god, he can do anything on the field!" Broadcast host Elvin Johnson exclaimed.
Not only did he contribute on the defensive end, Tang Wenlong showed all kinds of weapons on the offensive end, and no one in the Cavaliers could defend him at all.
After Irving assisted Tristan Thompson's goal, the offensive and defensive rotation came to the 76ers' offense.
Luis and Loyle did a blocking and dismantling cooperation, Tang Wenlong ran out with Whiteside's off-ball cover, received the ball from Luis outside the three-point line, and made a feint to pretend to break through inside, and retreated to the three-point line jumper!
The difficulty of this shot was too high, and when Tang Wenlong shot, the audience felt like he was throwing around!
"Huh!"
The high-arc basketball pierced the heart with one arrow, and the hearts of the audience in the quick loan center shook in unison, and their faces were full of disbelief, "Is this guy from an alien planet?" ”
It's like going crazy, ordinary players are All-Stars when they have convulsions, and when star players have convulsions, I'm afraid Jordan can't stop the outbreak!
In the last three minutes of the first quarter, Tang Wenlong scored a lot of incredible goals, forcing Scott to call two more timeouts in a row.
The effect was minimal.
The 76ers were able to lead by 14 points 38-24, obviously looking very good, but they still lagged behind others by 14 points in terms of points, and the opponent's star Tang Wenlong actually cut 20+ in a single quarter, and the bag had no effect.
Owen walked off the field depressed, hoping to gain another ten centimeters to defend Tang Wenlong, and the pre-match ambition looked like a big joke (to be continued). )
