Chapter 255: No Solution (II)
The basketball spun and tumbled in the air, arcing beautifully, and then plunged into the basket under the gaze of everyone.
Tang Wenlong stood outside the three-point line, his right arm raised high, his wrist pressed down, and kept his shooting posture unchanged, like a proud swan.
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of entering the network sounded, and the audience cheered at the Wachovia Center.
27 to 18, after a pause, Tang Wenlong scored five points in a row, and instantly stretched the difference to as many as 9 points, Brooks was angry on the sidelines, he couldn't wait to take off his suit jacket and go up to defend Tang Wenlong by himself, although he definitely couldn't prevent it.
At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Thunder by 12 points 33-21, Tang Wenlong, Durant, and Westbrook all played the first quarter, but from the perspective of efficiency, Tang Wenlong scored 18 points on 6-of-9 shooting.
The lead was much higher, and Collins was relieved, so he replaced Tang Wenlong off the court, replacing Lowry, who had been resting off the court for a long time in the first quarter, and replacing David West with Hawes, after the lack of Luis in the second lineup, Collins knew in his heart that he had to let Lowry or Iguodala play with him, after all, the two of them could organize a tandem team. In today's game, Iguodala shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending Durant, and the task of organizing the second team's offense was naturally entrusted to Lowry.
Tang Wenlong sat down in the audience and took the towels and energy drinks handed over by the staff.
"Russell Westbrook made a lot of mistakes and that's our chance to get ahead." Iguodala laughed.
Tang Wenlong nodded, "Actually, they have always made a lot of mistakes. Russell, Kevin, and James are all good offensive players with the ball. However, the Thunder's large-scale transfer ability is notoriously poor in the league. Maybe it's because I usually practice less, and I'm used to solving problems in singles, so how can I think of transferring the ball on the strong and weak sides? ”
The two laughed and talked about the feeling of playing against the Thunder on the court, and compared to the Heat, the Heat seemed to be a little more difficult.
Fortunately, the Thunder bench was strong, and Harden began to play in this quarter, facing Meeks defense and making consecutive step-back jumpers, which gradually narrowed the gap for the Thunder. Collins called a timeout to adjust the 76ers players, and by the time Tang Wenlong played in normal time with 6.38 seconds, the 76ers still led the Thunder by seven points at 37-30.
As soon as Tang Wenlong came up, he got a pass from Iguodala with his back in the low post, and the person who defended him behind him was replaced by Saflosa, and Harden was rested at this time.
The 76ers opened up the space, the Thunder didn't dare to wrap up, and Tang Wenlong "banged" his back against Saflosa in a low position.
Safrosa couldn't help it, and took a small step back, Tang Wenlong's left foot as the axis. Turn around counterclockwise and place your right foot on the floor. Flip back jumper with a big turn.
Saflosa couldn't cover Tang Wenlong at all, so he could only reach out to interfere, Tang Wenlong's vision was blocked, but he threw the ball out with his feelings.
After the rhythm comes out, it hits easily. 39-30, Tang Wenlong's personal 20th point in this game.
When Tang Wenlong first won the scoring title, many experts in the league said that Tang Wenlong's style of play would not work in the playoffs, and it was impossible to get high scores.
The Thunder never imagined that the proud outside line would actually become the offensive breakthrough of the 76ers, and there are two super defensive blue-collar workers on the inside, Perkins and Ibaka, but they don't have the strong offensive domineering when they played the Heat. Westbrook is more than ten centimeters behind Tang Wenlong, otherwise he would be the most suitable to defend Tang Wenlong.
Coming back, the Thunder handed Durant a mid-range jumper and missed.
The 76ers attacked, Tang Wenlong was caught by the Thunder after breaking through, he lowered a pass that almost rolled to the ground, and handed it to the unguarded Iguodala on the outside, Iguodala made a three-point jumper and missed.
The rebound was grabbed by Westbrook and he ran wildly.
In the frontcourt, Iguodala has retreated in place, Westbrook dribbles and leans over, but there is also an acceleration in the run, and then dribbles with his right hand, and Iguodala flies up sideways and makes a strong layup.
He is very strong, and when he flies up for the basket, he uses his strong waist and abdomen strength to keep the ball as far away as possible from the defending Iguodala, Iguodala can't cover him, and the two people have a contact in the air.
Westbrook looked exaggerated, held the ball out with round eyes, and made a layup with a low hand.
"Be careful!" Durant's exclamation came from behind!
As soon as the basketball was shot, a big yellow hand suddenly appeared on the top of the head, and then, like a fly, it "snapped" and hit the basketball, and the basketball bounced back after hitting the rebound, jumping very high.
"What?" Westbrook's face changed, and then he felt another mountain pressing on his body flying in the air, and he instantly lost his balance and fell into the group of cameramen, and the man flipped on his back.
Tang Wenlong's chase block!
The audience screamed instantly, this chase block is so handsome, nailing the ball to the rebound, what a terrifying bounce and arm span!
At this time, Tang Wenlong didn't have time to watch his chic heroic posture, and the ball that rebounded back was grabbed by David West, and someone urgently needed to hold the ball to advance. Iguodala went up to receive the ball, Tang Wenlong then followed through the half, and the 76ers immediately formed a fast offensive momentum, and the Thunder defensive formation in the front court was extremely chaotic.
Tang Wenlong ran over in the middle, but no one came to block him, and Iguodala hit the ball to him.
At this time, Ibaka and Perkins were in turn to fill Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong received the ball and dribbled a step, took off directly outside the three-second zone, held the basketball high with one hand, and the whole person rose into the air, like a dark cloud floating above the heads of the thunder.
"I can't prevent it." Ibaka knew it in her mind, but she jumped reflexively.
Tang Wenlong's one hand turned into two hands, a side swing in the air, his arm had an adjustment action after holding the ball, his legs naturally bounced back, his waist and abdomen stiffened, and he suddenly buckled it down!
"Peng!"
A groundbreaking dunk, the huge sound was transmitted to all corners of the court through the speaker, and under the huge force, the ball frame was instantly deformed downward, and the basketball rack "squeaked" and pressed down a little.
It's been a long time, and when Tang Wenlong came back from the block to catch the ball and fly up to dunk, it was actually a matter of an instant, like a white light, and it was as fast as an incarnation god, everyone was subjected to a huge visual impact, and a huge fire instantly burned in their chests, not vomiting or unhappy.
"Amazing, so handsome, so awesome!"
Ping Ping jumped up and shook his fist, as if he had dunked the ball in. Fang Chuxia and Xuanxuan were also infected by the atmosphere of the scene, making horns and screaming unique to girls.
Tang Bing, Yang Lan and others, as stable parents, couldn't help but shout like young people, but they were also speechless with excitement, and clapped desperately....... (to be continued.) )
