Chapter 188: The remnants defeat the Heat

The 76ers traveled to the Nuggets in the West and unfortunately ended their winning streak.

The Nuggets have outstanding running and jumping ability, and several young people are very physical, especially Ty Lawson, who is in the third grade, not only can he burst assists, but also shoot very accurately from the outside.

On the bench, the Nuggets' young man Corneth Faried, who was just drafted this year, left a deep impression on Tang Wenlong, obviously the same height as him, but the latter's strength is enough to cross the inside, the frontcourt rebounding is very fierce, and the running and jumping ability is very outstanding.

The two games of the new season were lost to the plateau team, and some media said that the 76ers are not good at playing tough battles, and it is estimated that there will be no trouble in the playoffs.

As soon as the plateau came down, the 76ers returned to their home court to play the Hawks.

Maybe it was the Raptor that flew a little high, and the 76ers were dizzy. In the dense schedule, the physical condition of the players is more or less not optimal, and injuries occur during the game.

Hawes became the first 76ers player to be injured this season, and he was the same one he remembered last season.

Pachulia injured his thigh in a scramble with the Eagles, and it was found to be a thigh muscle strain, requiring two weeks of recuperation.

On the second day of team training, Marc Gasol felt discomfort in his lower back, which was detected as a slight sprain in his lower back and needed to recuperate for a week.

It's a good thing, the starting center and the backup center are all injured......

In the important game with the Heat that followed, Collins simply abandoned the center and discharged David West, the interior combination of Speights' partner, facing the skinny Bosh and Joel Anthony, who was not a few layers of kilometers, was not too bad.

This focus battle is a battle for the top and second place in the East.

James led Tang Wenlong all over the field and behaved very positively.

Rockets veteran Battier made three three-pointers in the second quarter. Standing off the bench immediately established a nearly 10-point lead for the Heat, who had always had less than three points behind each other.

Tang Wenlong was forced to change to the court in advance, and when he came up, he used an outside dry three-point to stabilize the situation.

Battier's defense isn't as good as it was at its peak, and basketball is still a sport that relies heavily on physical fitness, even with experience. Conscious, technological, without a matching body, the effect will be greatly reduced. Battier is now more of a high-post battery with the Heat, and James' main role when he is partnered is to open up space.

Taking advantage of James' absence from the court, Tang Wenlong played very actively.

After rushing inside, he took off against the short Haslem, switched his right hand to his left hand in the air, dodged the defense and dunked. Haslem is a power forward position though. But his height is only 2.03 meters, and he was once played by Yao Ming in a game of 12 shots and 12 shots in a single game, and he has a great disadvantage on the defensive end.

After injuring Gasol, the 76ers' interior defense is not so strong, and the damage caused by James' assault is high.

After last season's Finals loss, James has become more mature, and his offensive options are very mature, and Wade seems to have figured things out. In terms of ball weight. Constantly declining, the tactical offensive end is no longer the first choice.

The Heat, who have gone through the run-in pains like this, are strong. It's just that I met 76 people. Tang Wenlong and Iguodala are the two best wing players in the NBA.

After the game entered the third quarter, the shooting percentage of both sides was not high, and this game broadcast live in the United States turned into a boring subway battle.

The audience watched drowsily, but the two hosts of the commentary were relished, bluntly saying that the defense of both teams has made great progress this year. They are all strong contenders for the championship.

In the final five minutes, the two sides were tied at 80.

After a few rounds of attack, Tang Wenlong broke through the side and caused Bosh to foul, which was the latter's fifth foul of the game. He stepped onto the free-throw line, adjusted his breath and hit two free throws. Broke the situation where both teams did not score.

It was his 24th point of the game, the highest of any player on either team.

Looking back, Wade broke through the ball to James, James then broke through the middle, and the Heat players immediately pulled to both sides, Tang Wenlong twisted his arms and confronted James.

"Bang!"

James' impact is amazing, but fortunately, the defense is in place, and his speed is slowed down, and the more critical the moment, the more no one dares to attack.

He switched to his right hand to control the ball, changed his body in front of him and changed his angle to continue to break through.

Tang Wenlong's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand suddenly, and before everyone could see what was going on, the basketball was lightly clicked by Tang Wenlong!

James continued to advance with inertia, and Tang Wenlong broke the basketball on the spot to advance!

Tang Wenlong hit zero in the frontcourt and grabbed the ball with one hand to complete the split, leading the Heat by 4 points 84-80.

James' mistakes at critical moments were extremely fatal, and Tang Wenlong's great defensive progress was once again shown, and the Heat were suddenly in a disadvantageous situation.

Teenager Spoelstra called a timeout to adjust the condition of the players on the field.

In fact, in many critical moments in the NBA, it is often one or two details that distinguish the winner or loser, it is not terrible to be behind by 4 points, and there are still a little more than 2 minutes to go, and the terrible thing is not to know the correct way to play at critical moments.

The Heat attacked, James broke through Tang Wenlong on the side, encountered the experienced David West, James saw the stitches, distributed to Bosh, and Bosh transferred to Joel Anthony in the pass. At this time, Joel Anthony had the opportunity to attack the basket directly, but at such a critical moment, he did not dare to take responsibility in his heart, and as soon as he hesitated, Speights' supplementary defense arrived.

After wasting time, Joel redistributed the ball to Wade on the perimeter, and Wade broke through, leaned on Iguodala's body to kill the inside, and threw it crookedly.

Iguodala interfered with him so much that the basketball bounced off the edge of the hoop.

Bosh and West clicked the rebound together, the basketball flew out of the bottom line, and the players of the two teams pointed to the opponent's half court for the first time, and the referee spread his hands on the bottom line, indicating that he did not see clearly.

As the game entered replay time, Bosh's face was cloudy, and Miami fans had a bit of an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, after the slow release, you can see that Bosh, who has a longer arm span, clicked on this basketball, and the three referees discussed it and gave a backcourt ball.

It was a crucial penalty with 1:50 left and the 76ers leading by four points with possession remaining.

In the rotation attack, Tang Wenlong singled out James on the weak side, and everyone opened up space for two people to one-on-one. Tang Wenlong pretended to break through, rushed into the three-point line and suddenly stopped, controlled the ball with his right hand from the outside and hit the crotch of the ground, handed it to his left hand, lifted his body, put his hands together, and made a posture of worshipping Buddha.

James cautiously did not jump, Tang Wenlong suddenly took a big step back, and floated outside the three-point line to hit a three-point back!

"This choice is too risky and very unreasonable!" ESPN's host shouted.

But the tumbling basketball slapped him mercilessly, and under the difficult shot, he actually threw an incredible hollow ball! The net flowers are churning, clean and crisp!

87 to 80, the most important time is that the 76ers played a wave of 7-0!

This script was fatal for the Heat, James broke through again and caused Tang Wenlong to foul, and after walking to the free throw line, he made two free throws and two hits, and the game entered the last minute.

Then the 76ers controlled the rhythm, Tang Wenlong encountered the bag with the help of the block, and divided the ball Speights, Speights made a shaft to the vacant West, and West made an empty jumper, laying the final victory in one fell swoop!

The Heat attacked again, James gave Wade a breakthrough, Wade transferred to the outside James long-range shot, missed three points, the rebound was grabbed by Bosh, and then returned to point guard Chalmers, the three-point jumper still missed, the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong, and Battier, who was replaced on the court, immediately fouled Tang Wenlong and sent Tang Wenlong to the free throw line.

Tang Wenlong made two free throws and two hits, and the game completely lost suspense (to be continued.) )
