Junior general Avery Johnson has become the second coach to be sacked this season.

The Nets, who relocated to Brooklyn, have assembled a luxurious roster but have a mediocre record, and Gordon Hayward has gradually developed into a stable output player at the No. 3 position, but most of the ball is still in Dellon's hands.

The embarrassing thing is that this year's Knicks' record has risen, and the Nets, who have become competitors in the same city, are naturally more and more unaffordable by New Yorkers, at best, the Nets are just a dirt bun that has just moved into the city from the countryside, how can it be compared with their beloved and great Knicks?

The 76ers' record is stable in the first place in the East, and the only one in the East who can compete in terms of record is the Miami Heat. The Spurs and Thunder in the West belong to the first group of the league, and the Thunder's tactical focus after the lack of Harden has all shifted to Westbrook and Durant.

Fast forward to 2013, and players who are expected to be selected for All-Star selection began to canvass for votes through various channels.

For example, Tang Wenlong's teammate Mark Gasol, Gasol Jr.'s desire to be an All-Star is very strong, and after Howard left in the East, the star player at the center position withered. And his data this year has improved a lot compared with last year, with an average of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which is definitely excellent in the center position, not to mention that the 76ers have an excellent record, which adds a lot of points to him.

There is also Iguodala, who was selected for the Eastern Conference All-Star bench last year, and this year according to the 76ers' record, and his deep impression in the head coach's mind, an Eastern Conference All-Star bench will definitely not be able to run.

On New Year's Day, the 76ers challenged the Suns away.

Tang Wenlong scored 39 points on 26 shots, and the highest on the Suns team was the claimed Rocket Diamond power forward Scola, who walked in front of Tang Wenlong's gorgeous dance steps, which impressed Tang Wenlong. The second is the Suns' starting point guard Goran Dragic, although his physical strength is average, but he is excellent in other aspects, and his hand-to-hand ground passes are quite a bit of Nash's style.

It's just that the Phoenix tradition is that they get high scores and their opponents get higher scores.

In the end, all 6 members of the 76ers scored double-doubles and won 119-105 against the Suns.

Tired enough to choke Marc Gasol, turn back to San Antonio and face off against the Spurs.

This is the focus of the battle, the Spurs are at home to work, but there is also a super matchup between the Thunder and the Heat on the day, compared to the Spurs and 76ers, it is obvious that those two games will be more enjoyable.

But the people of the Holy City don't think so, and among the imaginary enemies, the 76 are clearly the most representative.

So in the holy city, the ticket price of this game was speculated very high, except for the fans who have season tickets and package tickets, the rest of the loose tickets are priceless, and the hateful scalpers maliciously hyped and made a lot of money.

Since the previous two years, the Spurs have paid attention to the replacement of new and old players, and Leonard, a potential new star selected in the draft last year, has gradually been adjusted to become a member of the Spurs' outside defense. While doing a good job in defense, Leonard implemented Popovich's tactics meticulously, which was gradually recognized by the old man, and his strength steadily improved.

Leonard has a lot of responsibility against the best scorer in the league today, and he sees this confrontation as his best test.

Since the Mavericks won the championship in 11, the Spurs' overall team building idea has been adjusted, and the team has gradually cultivated or traded a bunch of players who can shoot three-pointers, and the two new young players Leonard and Danny Green are also good at fixed-point three-point shooting, especially Danny Green, who showed a very tough three-point shooting ability in the playoffs with the Thunder last year.

Being able to withstand the pressure and shoot key shots is regarded as the spear of the team by the Spurs.

The strongest thing about the Spurs is that every player on their team can execute the tactics arranged by Popovich like a machine, which is the foundation of their stability, and this can often be easily played when they encounter a team that does not want to fight them.

The 76ers are the team that doesn't want to play as a finals at all.

At the beginning of the game, it fell into the rhythm of the Spurs, and the 76ers only scored 18 points in a single quarter, 7 points behind the Spurs, of which Tang Wenlong shot 1 of 5 and did not have a strong desire to score.

It's just that on the bench lineup, the 76ers have a little advantage, Meeks is in great shape, and after coming up, he scored continuously, forcing Popovich to call a timeout to remind players to pay attention to such a shooter on the 76ers bench.

Later, in the middle of the game, Tang Wenlong and other main players returned to the field to play.

Tang Wenlong completed a gliding split dunk in the second quarter, broke through in the face of Leonard's defense, passed the head of the facial paralysis whip in one step, and flew directly in the middle of the dunk in two steps, raising his long arms too fast, and when Duncan reacted, he could only avoid it, so as not to suffer the same encounter as Howard.

The slam dunk skills were shocking, and the audience in the Holy City shouted in unison, at least in the current Spurs team, no one can complete such a performance, and suddenly the fans felt that this trip was not wronged.

At halftime, the Spurs led the 76ers by 5 points at 47-42, and Tang Wenlong recovered his hand in this quarter and hit two mid-range turnaround jumpers.

This trick is learned from Kobe Bryant, and if used well, it is like a step back, and it is also very difficult to prevent. Even if Leonard on defense has a pair of long arms like an orangutan, once Tang Wenlong's shooting rhythm is mastered, it is still difficult to interfere with him. Leonard was very envious of Tang Wenlong's stunt, and thought that he would definitely master this trick one day in the future.

In the third quarter, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and Tang Wenlong increased his personal ball-holding offense and completed several wonderful assists.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied at 89, and at this time, Spurs veteran Ginobili hit a 3-pointer to establish a crucial lead for the Spurs.

Tang Wenlong also chose to go outside the three-point line, Leonard pulled three points in front of him, and equalized again, at this time he got the 25th point of the game, Leonard, who is good at defense, still can't limit his play.

Then both teams did not score for a while, and at 1 minute and 28 seconds, Tang Wenlong broke through to the layup and was fouled, went to the free throw line and made free throws, hitting both free throws, and the 76ers led by 2 points 94-92.

Then the Spurs battled in a positional battle, Ginobili angrily hit the ground pass and smashed Duncan's foot out of the bottom line, and the Spurs made a mistake at a critical moment.

After the 76ers passed the halfcourt steadily, Tang Wenlong picked up Leonard with his back, turned over and missed a jumper, but the key frontcourt rebound was grabbed by Iguodala and passed back to the outside Lowry, not in a hurry, controlling the rhythm.

The 76ers paused, and when they came back from the pause, they chose to spend 24 seconds on offensive tactics, or left the ball to Tang Wenlong's hands. Tang Wenlong's face frame broke through the bottom line, the Spurs did not cover the clamp but had an assistant defense, Tang Wenlong kicked the ground and turned over before the help defense arrived, and Leonard could not cover it at all after the long arm was raised.

The basketball hollowed into the net with less than 20 seconds left to give the 76ers a four-point lead 96-92.

The fans of San Antonio sighed in unison, this guy is really too incomprehensible, and the more critical the moment, the more he can shoot goals, all of which are difficult goals. (To be continued.) )
