The veterans are always playing in the regular season, and sometimes they are bullied by young people, and their state has always been tepid.

But in the playoffs, the group of people who pretended to be dead came to life all of a sudden, stealing the camera on all kinds of courts.

Ray Allen in the spotlight, his flickering bald head shone brightly, and his raised arms were quickly withdrawn, like an unsheathed swordsman, dashing and incomprehensible.

"What a ball!"

Tang Wenlong praised and high-fived Ray Allen in celebration, and he jokingly said: "Ray, I feel that your shooting is getting more and more accurate, faster and faster, swish, it's really amazing." ”

Host Barkley also joked about Ray Allen: "Ray Allen plays like this, I think I can retire until I am 60 years old." ”

"Haha, I want to make a comeback, it's great to play with Tang Wenlong." Kenny Smith teased.

The two of them praised them to the fullest, as if everything that 76ers owned was Tang Wenlong's credit. Of course, this is also the consensus of all the outside world, and the fans also think so in their hearts.

After the start of the second quarter, Tang Wenlong went to rest, and it was Jimmy Butler who replaced Tang Wenlong.

Jimmy Butler has no chance to organize the offense in the 76ers' tactical system, so the ball to organize the offense is all in the hands of Billups, plus the replacement of Gasol Jr. on the court, the 76ers balance the offense inside and outside, and use the center as the main tactic of the axis.

The Nets' bench is led by Gerard Wallace, and there are no particularly complicated tactics, with pick-and-roll offense and low-post offense being the two main ways.

It's such a simple offensive tactic, but the efficiency is also good, and the Nets benches can also score a lot of shots, and the score gap has not been widened.

In the 7th minute of the second quarter, the Nets took the lead in replacing the main team, and the 76ers led the Nets by 8 points at 35-27.

Delon came up and shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc, decisively missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol Jr. and passed to Billups.

"Hold off!" Billups raised his arms high and unhurriedly pushed the ball through the halfcourt.

After the Nets' main force comes up, the 76ers are about to change to the main team, and at this time, controlling the rhythm to maintain the lead is obviously the most important thing.

Tang Wenlong and Collins both nodded off the court, a veteran basketball IQ like Billups is really high, with him in control of the situation on the court, even if the strength of the 76ers' second team at this time is not as good as the Nets, it is not so easy for the Nets to easily catch up with the score. It's no wonder that at that time the Pistons could win the championship, chiseling hard with one knife and one shot, slowly grinding the enemy into powder.

Grinds the will, grinds the morale.

"It's no wonder that at that time, the league hated the Spurs and Pistons in the Finals, and if this rhythm came down, it would be nice to have 80 points a game, and slow and boring could make people fall asleep." Tang Wenlong, who had already stood on the sidelines, secretly chatted with Iguodala.

Iguodala laughed, "But the effect is very good, you can see Delon jumping and jumping, in terms of rhythm control, he is still two streets short of Loops." ”

At this time, Butler caused a foul on Thaddeus Young in an attack, and the time entered dead ball time, and Tang Wenlong and Iguodala were ready to substitute.

Because Butler still has to shoot free throws, the 76ers chose a small lineup, Billups, Butler, Iguodala, Tang Wenlong and Gasol Jr.

At this time, the Nets' lineup is DeLong, Gerard Wallace, Hayward, Thaddeus Young, and Lopez.

Joe Johnson stood on the sidelines, ready to enter the pitch and replace Gerard Wallace.

After Tang Wenlong came on the court, defending the first wave of the 76ers' offense, he fell to the side of Thaddeus Young, and then reached out to get stuck in the position, instantly clinging to the defense.

"Don, I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still so positive." Thaddeus Young spoke.

Tang Wenlong smiled: "Aren't you also very good, in the Nets, there are actually a lot of options for offensive opportunities, I heard that you have practiced the three-point shot well this season, which is awesome." ”

Touting his former teammates, Tang Wenlong didn't think so at all in his heart, Thaddeus Young has no tactical position in the Nets, and the ball on the offensive end is basically in the hands of Deron or Hayward, even if it is an interior attack, it will not give Thaddeus Young a frame attack, but will give Lopez a low-post strong attack, and Thaddeus Young is not happy in the Nets.

A no. 4 shooter who is not very high, and similar to Bosh, he is not suitable for teammates with a high percentage of possession.

But if he is given the opportunity to attack on his own, he will be able to score and the stats will definitely increase in a very prominent way.

"Chicken ribs." Tang Wenlong gave an evaluation in his heart.

Then the next moment, Delon really ignored this side directly, broke through and distributed it to Lopez on the other side, Lopez made a mid-range jumper!

missed, the basketball smashed on the hoop and bounced off the rebound.

At this time, Tang Wenlong turned around and could directly get stuck in the position, jumped forward after his butt rose, grabbed the rebound ball in the air with both hands, and easily took off this backcourt rebound.

Thaddeus Young immediately opened his arms to approach Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong's advancement is a famous big killer in the NBA, and it is the most difficult to defend when rushing up in the fast break, so the basketball head coach has long told the players of the Nets that once Tang Wenlong grabs the backcourt rebound, he will be the first to grab and delay Tang Wenlong's dribbling.

After this delay, the rest of the Nets players also returned to the halfcourt and fell into position.

Tang Wenlong turned around and dribbled again, and after dribbling twice, he gave it to point guard Billups, and walked to the front court silently, and the top of the arc directly matched with Billups to block and dismantle.

Block, minute.

The Nets' attention was all on Tang Wenlong, Billups had a chance to cover the shot with a single block after blocking, but he didn't shoot, but chose to hit the inside line, and as soon as the Nets changed the formation, he passed the ball beautifully again, and secretly distributed it to Gasol Jr. under the basket.

By the time Lopez turned, Gasol Jr. had already completed the one-handed stake split. At 38-30, the 76ers still led by eight points.

After a simple pick-and-roll offense, Billups' pass cut straight through the Nets' defense.

Delon was not convinced, he was also a super point guard with the top double on the assist list back then, and when he came back with a wave of offense, he also passed a wonderful hit to the ground, which was given to Hayward.

It's just that Hayward didn't shoot, and after shaking Iguodala for a while, the time difference broke through to the inside.

Iguodala stuck to Hayward, Hayward was very uncomfortable with the dribble, he saw Iguodala leaning so closely, and suddenly he had an idea, and a sudden brake stopped.

Iguodala tightened his weight and almost missed a split, but fortunately, he was still in defensive range.

Hayward started again, sticking to Iguodala for three steps to make a layup, Gasol Jr. made up for it, both of them pressed on him, he directly screamed exaggeratedly and flew out, and the basketball was thrown in the air.

The ball didn't go in, but the whistle blew and the referee blew for a defensive foul on Iguodala.

Tang Wenlong rolled his eyes, this foul was blown inexplicably. (To be continued.) )
