The 76ers took the Wizards lightly, and Fang Chuxia felt Tang Wenlong's popularity in the city of Philadelphia for the first time. Every time he held the ball, every time he broke through, every shot he showed up would elicit a tsunami of cheers in the Wajovia Center.

Tang is believed to be the key to Philadelphia's revival and the cornerstone of the 76ers' resurgence.

After the All-Star Weekend in February, it suddenly became very short-lived, especially when all eyes were on trades big and small.

The last two remaining games in February, one at home against the Pistons and one away against the Cavaliers.

Like the Wizards' game, both teams are at the bottom of the East, and each team has obvious weaknesses, and the 76ers, who have both offense and defense, are a cut behind in hard power.

In the end, the 76ers won 110-94 against the Pistons, and Greg Monroe, who had worked hard for most of the season, finally became the team's starting center, and occasionally played as a power forward, and he performed well in this game, grabbing 11 rebounds on the head of the 76ers' Haitian striker, and Collins was also amazed by the small hook technique in the low post.

In Cleveland, the 76ers won 99-92 against the Cavaliers, not for Sessions' super-god-like play in the third quarter, which allowed the Cavaliers to bite the score tightly, and it may be the same as the Pistons, who surrendered in the third quarter.

Tang Wenlong looked at the schedule in March, and in the first week, the 76ers were all at home.

He accompanied Fang Chuxia to Columbia University to report. Located in Manhattan, New York, next to Wall Street, the United Nations Headquarters and Broadway, it is one of the most popular universities in the United States.

"To be honest, I didn't even look around campus when I was in college."

The two of them were walking hand in hand on the campus of Columbia University, perhaps because of the fact that the school had just started, and there were many students walking around in the green lanes of the campus, looking very busy.

Tang Wenlong: "If you don't still live outside the school, it's always a little inconvenient to live with your classmates." ”

Fang Chuxia smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's safer to live on campus, and it's also conducive to getting along with your classmates." ”

"Xueba is just different." Tang Wenlong said with a smile.

"Learn from your sister!" Fang Chuxia laughed and lightly hammered Tang Wenlong.

"Don't worry, I will come here often to see you in the future, after all, it will only take more than an hour to drive over." Tang Wenlong stretched out his other hand and touched Fang Chuxia's head, and said softly.

"En" Fang Chuxia whispered back, weak mosquitoes.

Columbia University College is very large, Tang Wenlong and Fang Chuxia went shopping for a day, but they couldn't finish it, and the two of them returned to the hotel where they stayed in the evening, waiting for the official report the next day.

After dealing with his girlfriend's affairs, Tang Wenlong returned to Philadelphia and restarted the next season.

At the beginning of March, the Mavericks challenged the 76ers.

Congratulations, Tang Wenlong once again won the award of the best rookie of the month in the East, he and Griffin completely dominated the east and west, and there was no rookie who could be compared with the two of them in terms of data, not to mention, the 76ers' record is still so good, and Tang Wenlong has more points.

ESPN experts point out that this year's rookie of the year should go to Tang Wenlong, whose performance is not inferior to the most famous superstars in history.

The Mavericks have been in great form this year, having gone through a period of pain after Kidd was traded. But after surviving that time, there was a qualitative leap in the whole. Especially on the bench of the Mavericks, Jason Terry, JJ Barria and other convulsive men, sharp knife hands, have improved the overall strength.

And Nowitzki, who has just turned 33, is in a stable state like a stone Buddha.

For the 76ers, this is definitely a strong opponent, so the whole team does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Tang Wenlong came to the stadium early to do training, and at the same time, Iguodala and Hassan Whiteside were already in the stadium.

"It's going to be a bit difficult to get a German tank tonight." Tang Wenlong and Iguodala said casually.

"He's an amazing player, he's so tall, he's got that long arms, he's shooting so high, he's shooting so accurately. And no matter what he was violated, his hand shape never changed, and his shooting was historic. Iguodala said with a frown, and there was no absolute confidence in whether he could defend against Nowitzki.

"Hassan, you practice your defense well, get Novitzky, you will be superb!" Iguodala turned his head and said to Whiteside, who was stretching on the court.

Whiteside smiled wryly and said, "Then I have to have this opportunity to defend Dirk first!" ”

Tang Wenlong said comfortingly: "Don't worry, your talent is so good, as long as you train hard, remember the team's tactical manual, and know how to appear in the right position on the court, you will definitely be able to become an excellent starter in the future, and the coach must believe in you." ”

Whiteside nodded, still a little unconfident, "Maybe!" ”

After the first three people practiced for a while, Lowry was the fourth to enter the arena, followed by Head Coach Doug and a cadre of assistant coaches, nutritionists, strength and conditioning trainers, and so on.

At night, the Wajovia Center comes alive.

Before the game, Tang Wenlong said hello to Nowitzki, and he was a little familiar with Nowitzki in the entire Mavericks team, and he didn't actually have much intersection with the rest of the charlatans like Kidd.

"Tyson Chandler, Dirk Nowitzki, Peja Stojakovic, Robolig Boubois, Jason Kidd." After walking onto the court, Tang Wenlong glanced at the Mavericks' starting lineup, which was exactly what Collins predicted before the game, of course, in the end, this is the starting lineup that the Mavericks have been using for several consecutive games recently, and it is not a big deal to be able to guess.

"Thaddeus is afraid of Alexander today." Tang Wenlong secretly glanced at Thaddeus Yang, who was like a big enemy, this guy's face was tense at the moment, obviously Collins had said a lot of words to him before the game.

In the opening jump ball, Tyson Chandler and Dalham Porter, two King Kong-like centers, stood in the center circle.

"Drink!"

After a whistle, the two men jumped almost at the same time.

The two are of similar stature and age, and even their physical fitness is not much different, but it seems that Dalempoter's complexion is still a lot darker.

Dele Porter pushed Chandler a little bit harder, and used his fingertips to dial the basketball first, right into the hands of point guard Lowry.

The 76ers turned around, jogged across the halfcourt, and pressed steadily. The audience suddenly resounded with the sound of "offense, offense" and uniform cheering.

Tang Wenlong turned his back, and in the position of the horn area, his back card was the main defender of Jason Kidd.

The Mavericks' defense is interesting, and when an outside defensive big man like Sean Marion is still on the bench, it is the 38-year-old Jason Kidd who is responsible for the outside defense.

And amazingly, Kidd's defense is still terrible, and few can please him in front of him.

Lowry immediately hoisted the ball to Tang Wenlong, and after Tang Wenlong caught the basketball with one hand, the cheers on the scene became even more enthusiastic.

"Bang!"

Tang Wenlong was unceremonious, and with a slap on his back, he hit Kidd's chest.

There was an amazing rebound force from the back, and the old monster seemed to have taken root when it landed, and Tang Wenlong hit Kidd like he was hitting a big tree, but he didn't move at all.

"Bang!"

Tang Wenlong hit it again in disbelief, and Old Kidd stretched out a hand to sneak attack, and the basketball was almost missed by his long arm.

The waist was stuck in the ground, and Tang Wenlong felt that after hitting it twice, he was a little unable to do it.

Tang Wenlong didn't dare to underestimate these old guys anymore, stepped on the floor on his toes and found the power point slightly, controlled the basketball, staggered with a chic sliding step, and suddenly made a turn to break through.

Kidd, who was defending behind him, flashed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, but his movements were not slow at all, and his small steps followed the movement quickly.

Tang Wenlong didn't break through again, his body suddenly froze, his left hand made a gesture of closing his right hand, as if he was about to shoot, but when he was about to close it, a big step to the right opened up space with Kidd.

With a flick of your hand, you can easily dial it out.

The arc is wonderful, and it is accurate into the frame!

At this time, Kidd hurriedly came, and when he reached out to cover Tang Wenlong's sight again, it was too late.

The audience immediately applauded, Tang Wenlong's shooting posture was very elegant, and like his dunk, it was very ornamental.

"Carmelo Anthony?" Kidd's eyes narrowed slightly, and Tang Wenlong's retreat and shooting action after worshiping the Buddha just now was clearly Anthony's specialty.

Tang Wenlong didn't know that Kidd was judging his technical moves, and he quickly retreated to the halfcourt, and as soon as his arms were spread, he was ready to defend well.

As soon as he turned his head, Kidd found Nowitzki at 45 degrees with a long pass.

Nowitzki has a back to dribble, a foot on the same side as the center foot, and the body twists back to make a shooting action, and it looks like the upper body has been pushed by someone, and the amplitude of the back is very large.

Thaddeus Young was not pushed open, gritting his teeth and struggling to block.

The high arc of the ball was terrifying, and it seemed to spun in the air for a few seconds, and then it plunged headlong into the net, swinging a circle of white net flowers
