Chapter 250: Advancing to the Finals (Part II)

Five or six years ago, the NBA's top scorers exploded.

At that time, a group of swingmen who could shoot suddenly, had comprehensive offensive methods, and had strong scoring ability. For example, the most well-known Kobe, Maddy, Iverson and Carter, at that time, the new generation of James, Wade, and Anthony were just rising, and there were even many well-known NBA giants, such as Gilbert Arenas, Michael Reed, Paul Pearce, Ray Allen, etc.

But now, the scorers in the league are relatively withered, and there are only a few people who average more than 25 points per game this season, Tang Wenlong, Durant, James, Kobe, and Love are gone.

Tang Wenlong's style of play tends to be modern, with accurate shooting, average foul making ability, particularly stable mid-to-long-range shots, and a high layup or basket shooting rate after breaking through the inside. You know, five or six years ago, the top scorers averaged more than 10 free throws per game, and this season only Dwight Howard averaged more than 10 free throws per game.

The bigger difference is the long-range shooting ability, today's Tang Wenlong and Durant are accurate three-point shots, and five or six years ago, it was still the world of mid-range jumpers, for Iverson, Kobe, James, Wade and other top scorers, three-point is just a general weapon in the arsenal, not a conventional weapon.

Tang Wenlong's style of play made everyone's eyes shine, and his performance in key moments was compared to the great stars of history.

In the G6 battle with the Heat, Tang Wenlong once again showed his unparalleled scoring ability, shooting outside in the third quarter and slashing 18 points. Ten of those points were scored in a two-minute row.

This was a major blow to the Heat. At the end of the third verse. The Heat trailed the 76ers by 15 points 72-87.

The imbalance in mentality made the Heat players frizzy on the court, with multiple turnovers on the offensive end and leaks on the defensive end.

At 10 minutes and 13 seconds, Louis Williams broke through James Jones to win, and when he flew in the air, he was pushed away by Turiaf who was supplementing, and he smashed directly on the floor with a "plop"!

There were exclamations in unison in the stadium that the foul was too big. Went straight to the people.

Tang Wenlong and the others stood up from the bench in indignation, and Collins ran directly to the referee, spreading his hands and shouting: "Is he playing ball or beating people?" ”

The referee blew the whistle and gave Turyaf a second-degree foul, without even following the usual procedure to watch the replay and inform the Heat head coach.

Spoelstra was also speechless, shook his head and didn't speak, the Heat deserved to be at a loss, and the foul was right under the nose of the referee, so it was strange not to award a second-degree malicious foul to Turiaf.

Louis Williams lay on the ground with his head covered and did not speak.

"Are you alright?" The team doctor and head coach Collins nervously ran over. Ask Luis.

Louis-Williams groaned for a while, then came to his senses. Bared his teeth and said: "I'm okay coach, it's just that the muscles on my body may have been bruised, and now it doesn't hurt so much, damn it, this floor is really hard!" ”

"You guy!" Collins breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that there was no major problem.

However, Collins still nervously communicated with the team doctor, and asked the team doctor to help Louis Williams up directly, and then helped him back into the players' tunnel.

The game was interrupted, and Tang Wenlong kept communicating with James on the sidelines.

"I really didn't know he was going to do it, it was bad." James said hello, a little embarrassed on his face.

Tang Wenlong nodded, but he didn't have a good face, Luis is an important part of the 76ers lineup, and he doesn't know how injured he is. "I know, all I can do now is expect Luis to do nothing, and I think you should go back and talk to your team-mates, it's really undeserved."

"Yes, I'm sorry." James frowned, he is an advocate of harmonious basketball, and among the many superstar players in the NBA, James may be the cleanest.

After this episode, the Heat's morale hit rock bottom, and Tang Wenlong made four free throws from the free throw line, and the score stretched to 20 points.

After fighting hard for the final half of the quarter, the Heat still couldn't close the gap, and Spoelstra replaced the main players off the court and announced that he would give up the game.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Heat 113-91 away, James scored a game-high 35 points, Tang Wenlong scored 32 points, Wade only scored 19 points, 6 people on the 76ers side scored double-doubles, and the second Gasol got a big double-double of 20 points and 15 rebounds, and he played the same dominance as Olajuwon in the series with the Heat.

When the whistle blew, most of the fans in the American Airlines arena were gone, and the rest were die-hard fans who really loved the Heat and Miami.

James, Wade and Bosh, the triumvirate of Miami collapsed under the Philadelphia Iron Cavalry led by sophomore Tang Wenlong, which was suffocating.

The Heat players hugged each other with the 76ers players, James, Wade, Bosh, Battier and Tang Wenlong all hugged each other.

After that, the 76ers players gathered together, and finally had a smile on their faces, David West's eyes were red with excitement, he worked hard for 8 seasons in the Hornets, and was selected as an All-Star twice, but he never even touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, but he didn't expect to come to the 76ers' first season and directly reach the Finals, and it is very likely to win the championship.

Gasol shouted that he signed a 4-year, 65 million contract with the 76ers in the summer, even exceeding the value of championship center Chandler's 4-year 60 million, but in fact, he only played a few good games in the Spurs' Black Eight series, except for the local media in Philadelphia, almost the outside world agreed that the 76ers' offer was high. And now, he's helped the team reach the Finals and proved himself well in the series against the Heat.

The players hugged each other, patted each other's chests, and high-fived each other in celebration before withdrawing from the aisle and leaving the still-lit American Airlines Arena.

At this time, the team doctor's simple detection report also came out, and it was handed over to Collins as soon as possible.

"Whew~" Collins took a quick look and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Louis only suffered a little hard injury to his hip this time, and there is no damage to the joints in his body, so it will be good to rest for two or three days." “

The 76ers players in the locker room cheered in unison, and it seemed that God was taking care of the 76ers (to be continued. )
