This year, the competition in the West is particularly fierce, with the Spurs and Lakers taking the lead among the old powerhouses, and the rise of young guards like the Trail Blazers and the Thunder, no one dares to guarantee that they will be able to secure a top eight position.

The Nuggets' record is an obvious portrayal, it is possible to win one game and enter the top four, and it is possible to lose one game and fall out of the top eight, in this case, the teams in the West are gritting their teeth and holding on, and after this crucial December and January, some teams will begin to choose to be bad, so life will be relatively better.

Therefore, when facing the visiting teams from the east, the teams in the west are very tight, and they will never give up easily if they can win.

So the game between the two teams, after entering the second half, officially entered a white-hot stage, and the fans from Colorado let out a unique cry from the West, slowly creating a real NBA atmosphere!

Throughout the third quarter, the scores of the two teams alternated leads, and Nene made an eye-catching performance in this quarter, scoring 10 points on his own, and also causing Hawes to receive his fourth personal foul and go off the court early.

After the quarter, the two teams battled to 74-72, and the 76ers led by two points.

Hawes on the bench had an embarrassed look on his face, and the team was off the court as if nothing had happened. Speights, who came on as a substitute for him, was just as bad as him on the defensive end, but he was really able to open up space on the offensive end, and he received a few mid-range jumpers from Iguodala to break through the ball, and he made a beautiful mess.

At the end of the third quarter, Tang Wenlong let his personal score come to the 21st point, and he has hit three three-pointers in this game, an average of one per quarter.

In the TV footage broadcast by the imperial court station, a simple highlight of Tang Wenlong's game was made before the start of the fourth quarter, including a dazzling three-point shot and a negative angle dunk in the flat frame, and after the highlights ended, Tang Wenlong was revealed wearing a headshot of the No. 1 76ers jersey, and on the side was a bunch of data from the game, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Then the camera changed again, Tang Wenlong's full-court jumper hit the point in the first three quarters, and the place where he hit was represented by a green sky star triangle, and the place where he didn't hit was marked by a red cross.

The two hosts sang praises for Tang Wenlong during this time, as if Tang Wenlong really wanted to compete with Kobe and catch up with Jordan.

After the start of the game in the fourth quarter, the two of them still looked unsatisfied, but at this moment, Tang Wenlong was resting off the court, so they stopped the topic and turned to explain the game on the court.

It didn't take long for JR to score five points on consecutive shots, and the Nuggets came off the bench with a small outburst, and the 76ers instantly trailed by seven points at 75-82.

"The 76ers' bench disadvantage is obvious, and after Tang Wenlong and his main force left the court, there was a lack of effective offensive routines on the field." Yang Yi came to the spirit, this is a good time to analyze well, he said eloquently: "Louis Williams is a good scorer, but he is not a playmaker, the second team of the 76ers is obviously a little disjointed, and the game is unorganized and messy." ”

Yang Jian complained in his heart: "What do you mean that there are no rules? Did the Nuggets' bench play in a disciplined way? Isn't the second team in the NBA all disrupted, and it's going to fool people there again. ”

At this moment, the 76ers' timeout ended, and Iguodala was replaced early.

It shouldn't be counted as an early advance, an iron man like Iguodala has played the lowest time this season in recent seasons, and playing 40 minutes a game is nothing to him at his peak now.

Tang Wenlong is not good, the 76ers' team doctor has already done an overall physical test on Tang Wenlong, the data shows that Tang Wenlong's body is still in a slow development, from 18 to 19 years old, Tang Wenlong has grown 6 to 7 centimeters, and now the appropriate game time will increase his physical function, excessive competition will wear out his physical potential.

As the head coach, Collins knows this, so even if he wants to replace Tang Wenlong on the field, he can only suppress this thought at the moment.

Tang Wenlong sat on the field, anxious, his eyes looked at the red score on the screen above for a while, and then looked at Collins not far away, thinking to himself, why didn't the coach change himself to the court?

At 6:49 in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets led by 9 points at 88-79, and George Carr had been replaced by Anthony and Billups.

Chinese fans are already scolding, in their opinion, the head coach does not replace Tang Wenlong on the field, which is a brain-dead behavior and a typical discrimination psychology!

Tang Wenlong looked at the coach with blazing eyes, as if to say: "Coach, let me play!" ”

After Collins saw Tang Wenlong's gaze, he felt embarrassed in his heart, and secretly wiped his sweat, this nurse-type coach is really not good.

So just after this dead ball, Tang Wenlong was replaced in the game, and at this time, he had been resting on the bench for almost twenty minutes!

Stepping on the floor that seemed to be lost for a long time, Tang Wenlong's calm heart instantly became hot again.

He carefully checked his equipment, high-fived and encouraged each other with Louis Williams, who had been substituted, and returned to the field with the blessing of his teammates.

Time: 5:48, Nuggets lead by eight points at 90-82.

The 76ers served on the sideline, and Anthony stood on the sidelines and raised his hand to interfere.

Holiday came out, received a pass at 45 degrees on the right side of the three-point line, he immediately collected the ball and stood, and then quickly scanned the entire half court, observing the dynamics on the court.

After covering off the ball, Hawes fell to the low post, his huge size blocked None's view, and a red figure cut in silently from behind the two.

"Chance" Holiday flashed his eyes and threw the ball out decisively.

"Be careful!" Billups turned his head and reminded loudly that Holiday threw the ball too casually, it didn't look like he wanted to drop the ball or shoot at all, there was only one possibility!

Nene was horrified when he saw the basketball fly above his head, and out of the corner of his eye, a red figure abruptly obscured most of the light.

"!" He scolded, flashing his body very experienced.

"Bang!" Above his head, there was a roar of his palms touching the basket, like a burst in his ears, and it was a loud mess.

The basketball fell from directly above, bounced on the floor and rolled far away without knowing who kicked it.

At 90-84, the Nuggets led by six points.

This empty dunk skill was shocking, Tang Wenlong circled behind the two big men, smashed it hard, and then arrogantly withdrew a basket, shaking the basketball hoop.

"Wow, that's a jump!" If the two people in the imperial court have grown mouths, they can stuff a duck egg.

"He's really jumping!" Yang Yi repeated it again and said with a smile.

But Collins, who was sitting on the sidelines, had bright eyes, and he was more concerned about Holiday with this advance pass, and it seemed that Tang Wenlong and Holiday had gradually increased their cooperation during this time, which was a good phenomenon

Tang Wenlong is very active, even if he mainly plays without the ball, accurate shooting can make him the most dangerous wing.

Two minutes later, Tang Wenlong had a chance to break through the bottom corner, attract the Nuggets' bag, and distribute the ball to Iguodala on the outside.

Iguodala took the crucial three points. 93-89, the Nuggets led by four points.

Seeing that the lead was constantly being eroded, George Karl, as the head of the famous coach, could not sit still, he stood up from the bench and made a gesture to the referee to ask for a timeout.

The middle office technician controls the big screen, and time comes to an abrupt end at this moment.

Iguodala walked off the court with his arms around Tang Wenlong's neck, and smiled: "Don, your pass is so good, I received the ball in the most comfortable position, and the strength is like the trainer put it on me, awesome!" ”

Tang Wenlong said with a smile: "Andre, your passing is better than mine, I have learned a lot of tricks from you like this, which is very useful." ”

Iguodala saw Tang Wenlong complimenting him, and laughed proudly twice, feeling more and more that this little brother was really good, talented, hard-working, and very pleasing.

"Take your brothers to your country another day to have fun!" Iguodala said.

Tang Wenlong nodded frequently, and a wave of pride welled up in his heart: "Of course, my motherland is a superpower, with a history of more than 5,000 years, you know, how amazing and incredible it is, it is a country full of miracles." ”

"Wow, that's cool." Iguodala exclaimed.

The footage of the two men constantly communicating from the field was captured by photographers and reporters, and they immediately remembered the topic of tomorrow's sports news - the most sincere exchange - revealing the harmonious internal relationship of the 76ers.

Coming back from a timeout, Anthony took a false step and hit an iron with a mid-range jumper. George Carleton's face darkened, and he was blinded by the tactics he had laid out for a long time.

And during this time, the overall state of the 76ers was very good, Iguodala and Hawes completed the hand-to-hand cover pass, rushed into the inside line to share the ball to Hawes, who suddenly went down this time, Hawes jumped up very hard, he couldn't bounce like a panda, but the absolute bounce height was okay, and he pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.

93-91, the Nuggets only led by two points, and the fans at the scene only felt that Juhua was tight, and they no longer saw a calm attitude, so after Hawes dunked in, they heard boos all over the sky. This made him depressed, just now when Tang Wenlong scored a dunk in the air, but he got a lot of cheers and applause, is there really such a big difference in appearance?

In the last two minutes of the game, Tang Wenlong took a small step after breaking through, chose a close-range jumper, and scored! 93 flat.

George Karl was very helpless, in just such a short period of time, the team was beaten by others to a small high-tide, Anthony did not say, Billups simply had no presence on the court, and the overall fighting spirit of the Nuggets was obviously inferior to others.

PS: At this stage, the Nuggets were plagued by Anthony trade rumors, and the team's record was sluggish, until after the trade, Gallinari and other young people played the style of the track and field team, and the record returned to the top eight.
