Chapter 144: Fame
Columbia University, New York.
Fang Chuxia couldn't help but scream, and then hurriedly covered his wide open mouth.
On the screen, Tang Wenlong's swan-like arms were raised, and the basketball passed through the net in the attention of tens of millions of people, and the instant lore seemed to have become eternal.
"Handsome is dead!" Fang Chuxia smiled beautifully, and her heart was happy.
At the same time, the men's building of a university in the capital.
Suddenly, there was a flurry of "lying grooves", followed by endless wolf howls and roars.
"Damn, how can you hang like this, it's like a bomb, Tang Wenlong is my idol!"
"From today on, I will be Tang Wenlong's brainless fan, no one will stop me."
"Oh my God, I really want to see him play in the national team, it's amazing!"
In the broadcast footage, Tang Wenlong was surrounded by 76ers players who rushed onto the court, and Iguodala hooked his neck, not knowing what to say in his ear
No. 1's back has become the most touching picture of this series, and the most thrilling three-pointer of Pierce's hit in the battle of Tianwang Mountain is like a classic of the scene of becoming a god in 98.
The 76ers won against the Celtics.
In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the score of the whole court was scorching, from the despair of trailing by 6 points in the last 50 seconds to the legend of throwing a killer goal in the last second.
The race instantly stood out from the rest of the day's competition and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Tang Wenlong's eight-point performance in the final 41 seconds silenced anyone who questioned his playoff ability, and he was like a shining sun that has become one of the brightest stars on the eastern coastline.
People forget his age. I don't know how many fans have become die-hard fans since this game.
Tang Wenlong became famous. Even the Grizzlies won one more game against the Spurs. Turning the series into a 3-2 lead, the Black Eight Miracle was born immediately, and it can't compare to the classic of this battle of Tianwang Mountain.
There are so many stories to tell, too many images to remember.
Tang Wenlong didn't expect that he would be able to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain, after all, the Celtic defense was so strong.
After the game, he gave an interview.
"Actually, I wasn't thinking that much about it at the time." When asked about his choice for the last throw, Tang Wenlong was very humble. "It's just that the ball is already in my hand, and if I don't shoot, there is no way, and there was a gap at that time, so I tried to shoot three-pointers, and luckily, I threw it."
So other reporters asked if they felt that the last shot was very similar to Jordan's.
Tang Wenlong shrugged his shoulders, "Wow, it's a great honor to be able to compare with great people." That shaking was really similar to Michael's movements, and maybe I was really imitating him. ”
"You didn't have a couple of times to take the lead in the whole game. Even trailing by 6 points in the last 40 seconds, what caused you to suddenly explode in less than a minute in the last minute. And win the game? ”
Tang Wenlong smiled: "The game always has some ups and downs, and we may just throw all the balls we have accumulated in that minute." ”
The training of the playoffs has allowed Tang Wenlong to sit in the position of the strongest rookie in 10 years, and he is even a well-known All-Star player in the NBA.
In contrast, the tragic experience of the Celtics is regrettable, and it is difficult for an old bone to withstand such an impactful team.
At the beginning of the series, no one thought that the 76ers could win, and it was generally believed that the 76ers would lose the entire series 1-4 or 2-4, but now it is the 76ers who lead the Celtics 3-2 to get the match point, and according to the law of NBA history, the probability of winning the entire series is as high as more than 80%.
The pundits' faces were flushed, and the only words that could be used to describe the 76ers' unusual team were the unbelievable and unexpected.
The Celtics' fame jumped out, with Larry Bird criticising the Celtics' overall style and Rivers being questioned about his coaching strategy.
There is also a lot of pressure on Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.
Angie asked Rivers about Tang Wenlong's defensive strategy on the phone, Rivers explained his idea of Jordan's law, Angie was silent, in theory this should be correct, but in fact, the young man has some unexpected tenacity, just like the stub rampage when Tianwang Mountain.
In the sixth battle of life and death, the Celtics mourned and went to Philadelphia.
Due to the excitement of the fifth game, the ratings of this battle are even more popular, at least two or three times as much as the previous time period at the beginning of the year, and the league staff saw their jaws drop when they accepted the data.
The center of Vachovia, a sea of white clothes in the whole field.
The commemorative jersey of the playoffs is very cute, Tang Wenlong and others have been made into cartoon characters and printed on the front of the T-shirt, and the sales of the 76ers playoff commemorative jerseys are very hot in the entire market.
The morale of the 76ers was high, and before the game even started, the whole stadium was filled with the wildest shouts in Philadelphia.
The Celtic players had serious expressions, and no one spoke, as if they were an army from hell.
At the beginning of the game, Celtic dominated the game.
Perhaps because the morale was too inflated, the 76ers were a little too easy to fold, missing seven consecutive shots in the opening game, and were beaten 0-8 by the Celtics to a small high-tide.
After Collins handed in a timeout, Tang Wenlong broke through the interior and caused Pierce to foul, and two free throws and two free throws opened the scoring for the 76ers.
The start of the game was so unfortunate that Collins was clouded in his heart, and the Celtics today had a bleak feeling of fighting on their backs, and the energy that erupted in a desperate situation seemed a little extraordinary.
Sure enough, Collins' ominous hunch was correct, and the Celtics were on fire, scoring 31 points in the first quarter, which was almost the first time in these games that the two teams had a single quarter of 30 plus points.
On the contrary, the 76ers were full of flaws, scoring only 18 points in the first quarter and committing 6 turnovers.
The team's ineffective offense and defensive holes broke the hearts of 76ers fans, and their dreams of breaking through the first round were knocked out before they could be hit in the head.
The center of Wachovia fell silent.
At the end of the first half, the Celtics had a 15-point lead at 55-40, and even Rondo hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, and the Celtics felt very good today.
Tang Wenlong was a little depressed, today the Celtics' defense of him has changed, except for Pierce, who is more like a mad dog and defends closely, whenever he is outside the three-point line, no one is trapped, but as soon as he enters the three-point line, it will cause the Celtics to be trapped, and cut off his passing line, although not every time it can be executed, but it really limits his power to an extreme.
In the third quarter, Tang Wenlong missed two back-to-back jumpers, and the change broke through and caused the Celtics to foul.
With home advantage, he had his best chance to make a kill since the start of the playoffs, and the Celtics took turns defending him, not just Pierce.
Tang Wenlong accepted the Celtics' wheel battle, scoring 19 points in a single quarter, helping the 76ers recover the single-digit point difference 72-79.
However, in the fourth quarter, the Celtics showed another scene of their iron-clad defense, with an ultra-long arm span and rapid rotation to protect the layers of unbreakable.
Rushing to foul, Tang Wenlong scored a playoff high of 38 points, including 17 of 18 free throws.
But the 76ers lost this victory at home, not only did the team have no home-court advantage, but also directly faced the most brutal tie-break! (To be continued.) )
