The team's adjustment did not happen overnight, and the change of style also took time to settle.

Compared with the Bulls, the 76ers obviously cooperate with each other more tacitly, and the offensive fluency is much higher.

Tang Wenlong sat on the sidelines, watching with great interest as the two sides played back and forth on this field, and the physical confrontation and technical and tactical level displayed by the players were obviously higher than those in college.

Breaking away isn't the main theme of the game, more often than not, it's the jump shot that finishes the offense.

Except for one person!

Tang Wenlong's eyes were fixed on the basketball player who was the same as him, wearing the No. 1 jersey - Derrick Rose, his dry round short hair, red jersey accessories, running all over the court, it was difficult to keep up with his pace on the ground.

This kind of sitting on the sidelines and watching the breakthrough of the NBA's top speed point guards is really amazing, and Holiday is overstretched, and there are many out-of-positions in a short period of time, resulting in the collapse of the 76ers' overall defense.

"呲~"

Rose's sneakers slid a sharp friction on the floor, and then another violent forward change of direction shook off the waiting Holiday.

"What a Windy City rose." Tang Wenlong remembered the evaluation of Ross by the outside media and agreed with it.

He was here to comment at leisure, and the head coach Collins was frowning like an earthworm.

Of course, Collins didn't want to lose the game in this place, even if it was just an insignificant preseason game, he glanced at the bench, and when he saw Tang Wenlong's eyes shining, he suddenly had an idea.

Then, the official timeout came, and just after half of the game, the Bulls led by three points at 14-11.

The 76ers walked off the court, Doug Collins with the strategy board in one hand and the crowd in the other, and then his deep voice sounded.

"Zhu (Holiday), Andrés (Nocioni), Elton (Brand) you three wait a minute, Don, Luis (Williams) and Thaddeus (Young) you three are ready to play. We still used Andre (Iguodala) as the attacking arrow, mainly through the zipper attack to create opportunities for Andre to open up on the flanks or cut into the air. ”

Zipper offense is the first tactical term Tang Wenlong learned after entering the alliance.

Actually, it's just a unique term for cover tactics, which were first used back in the '60s with the old Celtics. Iguodala, who is the core of the offense, is covered by a wide inside line without the ball, either directly from the area near the baseline to the outside pocket to around 45 degrees, or from the inside to the corner to receive the ball.

The zipper offense that head coach Collins said was a set of offenses that the 76ers practiced alone during their training camp, in addition to simple off-ball cover runs, it also involved the individual singles of the ball carrier at the top of the arc, as well as some blocking offenses. Therefore, the offensive strength under the whole set of tactics is actually in addition to Iguodala as SG, as well as Holiday as PG.

These thoughts only flashed in Tang Wenlong's mind, and it was about to be his time to play.

"Come on, rookie." Elton rubbed his big hand on Tang Wenlong's head and whispered encouragement to him.

Tang Wenlong smiled faintly, "Don't worry! ”

The DJ at the scene saw that there was a newcomer on the stage, and he was slightly energetic, and then he took the information in his hand and introduced Tang Wenlong to the audience through the loudspeaker.

"SG from Syracuse University, Tang Wenlong!"

The Bulls' audience was still very loving, and there was some applause on the ground, among which there were several yellow-skinned fans, wearing Tang Wenlong's No. 1 jersey, cheering for Tang Wenlong loudly.

The camera switched to Tang Wenlong's face, he was very calm.

On the Bulls' side, Derrick Rose was a little interested in seeing this year's Pick show in action.

As if he had seen Derrick Rose's thoughts, Roel Deng smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Derek?" Do you want to teach this year's leaderboard a lesson? There were a lot of old guys who taught you this way back then! ”

Ross made no denials and said, "Why not? ”

The referee held the ball back to the 76ers, who had possession of the ball before, and Iguodala immediately ran to the sideline to serve very professionally, and was about to serve when he heard the referee's gesture to stop.

"Wait!" The referee yelled.

Iguodala was taken aback, looked left and right, and was terrified: "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Wenlong was also taken aback, thinking to himself how the referee was shocked. What he didn't expect was that after the referee suspended the serve, he rushed to him with an unhappy face.

Tang Wenlong was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how he offended these true gods in the NBA.

"Young man, please tuck your upper body into your big pants, it's an NBA rule." As soon as the referee saw that Tang Wenlong had not moved for a long time, he knew that he was going to meet a rookie again.

Tang Wenlong was embarrassed, of course he knew that the NBA had this rule, but as soon as he got on the court, he actually forgot about it. Now I was busy stuffing my clothes.

There was a lot of laughter in the arena immediately, and the players on the 76ers bench and the Bulls bench leaned back and forth with laughter, and even the two serious coaches couldn't help but smile, making Tang Wenlong's face on the court slightly red.

Subsequently, the referee re-played the ball to Iguodala.

Tang Wenlong received the ball and officially started his NBA career!

It is said to play on the wing, but when Louis Williams is on the court with him, the organization of the team is still handed over to Tang Wenlong or Iguodala, and Louis Williams is still a two-way guard who focuses on scoring.

Appearing in Tang Wenlong's defensive position is a black player who is about the same height as Tang Wenlong.

The coaching level of NBA coaches has been shown at this beginning, they will not easily believe scouting reports or official data, they would rather trust their own judgment, like Tang Wenlong is only 1.93 meters This kind of nonsense, Thibodeau will not believe it, and directly use Ronnie Brewer, a swingman who just signed this summer, to defend Tang Wenlong.

Brewer attacks the weak and defends the strong, if he can put Tang Wenlong in confidence, it will be the best! Thibodeau thought with some malice.

As for Brewer, who was reimbursed last season, he was eager to establish himself at his new club, and it would be great if he could please the new manager, so as soon as he came up, he exerted intense physical pressure and chattered endlessly.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie."

"I heard that you are a role model, why are you so thin, I can push you down with one hand."

As a result, Tang Wenlong honestly followed the tactical arrangement and passed it to Iguodala who came out.

After Brewer saw this, he became even more arrogant: "Hey, stinky ladybug, dare to hold the ball and swoop me out, don't you want to perform well in front of your coach, or are you afraid of me and don't dare to come?" ”

Tang Wenlong didn't expect to meet the legendary trash talker as soon as he entered the NBA, but he didn't meet such a talker when he was in college, and he almost didn't stop.

He frowned, silently saying in his heart, "If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall", he tried to ignore the fly buzzing in his ears.

Iguodala held the ball and got an open spot, but he didn't choose to shoot, and after a virtual touch of Rohr Deng, he dodged into the Bulls' interior, and the Bulls' interior Noah stood in front of him like a mountain.

Iguodala finished the offense with a toss that slammed into the basket's neck and the rebound was taken by Gibson, who was stuck in the main position.

"Stand out!" Iguodala roared and called Tang Wenlong, who was stunned in place, back to his soul.

Tang Wenlong came to his senses and retreated. He was a little distracted by Brewer's words just now, and this time he let the old fritter run in front of him.

"Fuck, your sister!" Tang Wenlong scolded foul language, speechless to the NBA professional players who do everything.

After receiving the ball, Rose advanced too fast, and when he saw that the 76ers' positional defensive formation was not falling well, his eyes lit up, adding more speed, it was really like a gust of wind.

Outside the three-point line, Tang Wenlong turned around to defend Rose, while Louis Williams blocked Rose's pass to Brewer.

Rose was going to wear it, but when he saw Tang Wenlong coming to defend, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he withdrew his willingness to pass.

The two got closer and closer, and Tang Wenlong's small broken steps could no longer be adjusted, and he could no longer keep up with the pace of Rose's breakthrough.

The basketball was only half a meter away from Tang Wenlong, and Tang Wenlong's dilated pupils could even clearly see the orange lines spinning in the palm of Rose's hand.

Rose showed a playful smile on his face, it seemed that the right arm sent forward was pulled back, and then the left foot was the axis, the left hand was stuck in the waist of Tang Wenlong, and the right foot naturally rotated counterclockwise on the ground, and the whole body was like a spinning top, and it was actually a chic turn in the process of rapid advance!

Tang Wenlong didn't expect that Ross would be able to make such a technical move at such a fast speed, and he was cleaned up all of a sudden!

He turned around in embarrassment and saw that Louis Williams, who was only 1.85 meters tall and slender as wood, did not dare to stop Rose, who was like a calf, and watched Rose complete a one-handed smash in the sky.

Tang Wenlong stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, his eyes narrowed slightly
