Chapter 202: Cold Feel

He has a well-rounded offensive skill set and has shown his scoring prowess since he entered the league. What's even more gratifying is that this season we can clearly see his defensive improvement as he progresses to the Hall of Fame.

The 76ers' home win over the Bulls was no small thing, and for the first time in the East, the win margin between first and second in the East came to more than two. Many experts in the league believe that this may be an early preview of the Eastern Conference Finals in May.

Tang Wenlong's performance was praised, with 31 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 10-of-18 shooting and 4-of-7 three-pointers, which was very comprehensive. Since the first two weeks of the All-Star break, Tang Wenlong's statistics have stabilized in all aspects, including nearly 20 shots per night and nearly 6 three-point shots per night.

The discussion between "Magic" Johnson and "******" Drexler about the league's scorers during the game drew attention from the media and fans after the game.

At the official press conference, a Bulls reporter from ESPN asked Tang Wenlong a question.

"Do you think you're already the league's No. 1 scorer?"

The Chicago reporter is obviously uneasy, if Tang Wenlong says yes, then it will be very arrogant, and it will offend other scorers in the league, but if Tang Wenlong says no, it is not in line with the fact that he is the first in the scoring list today, and it also makes it seem that he has a weak heart, and he has no confidence at all.

Tang Wenlong thought about it slightly, and knew that there was one way, he thought about it, and then skillfully avoided the trap, "No matter how strong the scoring ability is, the final victory still depends on the performance of the whole team, it is impossible for one person to defeat an army, I don't think it matters whether you become the first scorer or not." The championship is what should be chased. ”

The media reporters in Chicago obviously didn't expect Tang Wenlong to have the trick of avoiding the real and making it false, and the use of Tai Chi pushers was so brilliant that he hit the cotton with one punch.

Philadelphia fans are delighted that the team's excellent performance has given them hope of winning the title this season, and they haven't touched a trophy for too long!

As a result, less than two days later, the 76ers lost the game against the Bucks on the road.

Brandon Jennings jerks off. He scored 33 points on 7-of-11 three-pointers from the field, and Turkey's swingman Ilyasova grabbed 18 rebounds, nine of which were frontcourt rebounds.

Tang Wenlong scored 26 points, Iguodala 19, and the rest of the 76ers players had double-doubles, and everyone played an ugly game and fled back to Philadelphia in disgrace.

Same. The Bulls beat the Celtics at home, Rose scored 35 points and nine assists, and scored three big windmill pull-up layups, and Garnett was in the background countless times.

On March 8, the Jazz came to Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers.

At the start of the season in December, the 76ers lost the game against the Jazz in Salt Lake City, and the two teams have met twice this season, if the 76ers lose again. It was a shame to be swept by the Jazz this season.

It's so wicked. The 76ers feel very bad.

Tang Wenlong also seemed to have lost his shooting bag, and he didn't hit 1 of his 5 shots in the first quarter, and scored zero points in the first quarter of his career.

As a result, the Jazz led the 76ers by seven points 24-17 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Collins asked Tang Wenlong to break through the interior and improve the shooting rate from close range.

The Jazz were fouled twice by Tang Wenlong. Then the head coach is not stupid, playing joint defense and shrinking the defense, and let the 76ers shoot three points if the three points are not good.

At the end of the half, the 76ers hit 1 of 11 shots from beyond the three-point line, and Tang Wenlong scored 7 points in the half on 1 of 9 shots. One of these shots is a two-plus-one for a fast-break layup, which means that in the positional offense, he didn't even shoot a ball, which is outrageous.

"There are always a few awkward games in a season, and our hands are like frozen frozen in liquid soaked in -30 degrees Celsius." After the game, head coach Collins defended his disciples, arguing that the biggest reason for the loss was not that the Jazz defense was too strong, but that the 76ers had lost too many chains.

In the end, the 76ers lost by 18 points 75-93 at home, Tang Wenlong shot 3 of 14 in the game, and relied on 10 free throws in the second half to barely get 20+ points, unable to lead the team.

The 76ers lost two games in a row, and their record was tied by the Bulls and Spurs, dropping to third place in the league.

In the new edition of the team's power list, the 76ers also fell from the top position to fifth, behind the Spurs and Lakers in the West, and the Bulls and Heat in the East.

Then, three teams with the same record, the Bulls, Spurs and 76ers, all won the next three games.

The 76ers won against the Celtics, Pacers and Knicks, among which against the Knicks, Tang Wenlong was in a good state, scoring 45 points in the game, and had the upper hand in scoring against Anthony.

Then on March 17 and March 18, the 76ers played the Heat at home and the Bulls on the road, respectively.

The three teams are currently the first group in the East, and the 76ers under the leadership of Tang Wenlong have to play two consecutive fierce battles within 24 hours.

The Philadelphia fans themselves were dizzy, and they felt that the 76ers would lose their skin if they didn't stop eating in this round.

At the same time, the NCAA National Championship attracted the attention of many basketball fans, and 68 teams competed in the second half of the month.

Syracuse University has had a difficult year, and it seems that Tang Wenlong has lacked a competitive spirit since he left, and the first round of the tournament has just begun, losing the team's number one center Fab Melo, which has become even more difficult.

Tang Wenlong hasn't watched much of the Syracuse game, but this year, I heard from the newspaper and media that Kentucky is very likely to win the championship, and the core player of the team, Anthony Davis, is known as the young version of Bill Russell, and there has long been overwhelming publicity, and even Tang Wenlong can hear the name clearly, just like Auden the Great back then, although there are many outstanding players this year, the position of the champion seems to have been firmly locked.

2012 is known as the year of the draft, and it will be the year when talented players who chose to stay on campus due to labor disputes will flood the NBA.

For example, Dieng Vites, Michael Carter Williams of Syracuse University and Fab Melo, the Brazilian center of Syracuse University, all have freshmen and sophomores, and may even be selected in the first round, especially Dieng Vites, as a power two-way guard, has very outstanding physical fitness, and is known as Wade Jr. by the outside world, and the draft market has been rising all the way during this time.

And for the 76ers, even if they are only likely to be picked at the end of the first round, they may be able to find very good players.

That's why President E.D. Stefansch has released a lot of scouting to focus on the performance of every potential player in this year's NCAA Tournament to prepare for the start of the draft in June. (To be continued.) )
