Chapter 172: Violence
In the opening game, the Heat won the Mavericks, and James, who was criticized by everyone in the summer, made a strong comeback, went crazy in Dallas, cutting 37 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and Wade and James completed several empty catches that were amazing, and the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better.
But Bosh couldn't get out of the shadows, scoring an embarrassing 4 points on 2-of-9 shooting and only 7 rebounds.
The winners won't pay attention to the details, and the Miami Big Three quietly transitioned into a Big Two, with two ball-handling players sharing the ball that was already under-allocated.
Then in the second game arranged by the league, the Clippers vs. the Warriors, both teams were Western League fish belly last season, but the Clippers have changed this season, and they feel that their power has soared after having Paul.
In the first game of the season, the hot Staples came to fill the audience watching the queen bee show, and the Warriors couldn't resist and lost the game 86-105.
On the Clippers side, Paul, Griffin, and Billups all scored 20+ points, while only 4 people on the Warriors' side scored double-doubles, Ellis and Curry's two spears combined for 31 shots and 12 points, of which Curry, as a shooter, shot 2 of 12 and embarrassedly only scored 4 points.
In the third game, the 76ers host the Trail Blazers.
In the first quarter of the game, the 76ers showed a good temperament, although Tang Wenlong only hit 1 ball and scored 2 points, he delivered 5 assists in a single quarter, equaling his career record.
The 76ers also managed to lead by nine points at 32-24 in the first quarter.
Director Zhang shouted several times, "It's really amazing, we were pleasantly surprised to see the changes in Tang Wenlong." He became more well-rounded. The big picture is also better. ”
'He's been a beautiful pass. It can be seen that he must have stepped up his training in this area during the summer. Director Zhang continued with a smile, "I think the experience of the national team in the Asian Championships will definitely help him a lot, and it is very important for him to know how to share basketball in a better position......
But in fact, Tang Wenlong just felt that Matthews was better defensively, and he fell to the low post several times to prepare to single the Trail Blazers but decisively wrapped it up, and it was not a critical moment in the final quarter. If he doesn't pass the ball and shoot strongly, it will definitely disgust his teammates, so he simply brushes up on the assist, which is very easy.
The Trail Blazers also finished in the top eight in the West last season and can be regarded as a strong team in the West, but this season they have had a very hard time playing against the promoted 76ers.
Collins faces the camera with a serious face, but his heart is actually happy.
In the second quarter, the bench players came on, and the Trail Blazers replaced the famous super six Jamal Crawford, as well as small forward Nicolas Batum from Lisso, France, among others.
The Trail Blazers' bench players are no worse than the 76ers' bench. The tactical execution of the substitutes on both teams was poor, mainly based on random battles and simple pick-and-roll attacks. The pace of the offense is fast, but there are a lot of mistakes, you run back and forth, but the score rises very slowly.
Tang Wenlong sat on the bench very leisurely, he had learned how to wait for the opportunity correctly.
It's just that Iguodala is very hard with him, Crawford is a player like a nerve knife, just like Louis Williams, who mostly relies on shaking people to shoot as the main offensive means, but a lot of outrageous balls, and can still be thrown, looking like a blind, but also a bit of a shooting percentage.
After that, the Trail Blazers took the opportunity to close the score, and by the time Tang Wenlong came on the court, the difference between the two teams was only 4 points.
Tang Wenlong and Speights on the inside line played blocking and dismantling, Speights received Tang Wenlong's pass after dismantling the mid-distance position, and raised his hand to make a mid-range shot, but he didn't score.
Switching offense, the Trail Blazers handed over to Crawford, who had already scored 8 points in this quarter, and he couldn't feel the fire.
Tang Wenlong came up, stretched out his arms like an eagle and locked on Crawford, who was shorter than him and not tall in physical confrontation.
Crawford began to shake his shoulders regularly, and the two men looked at each other levelly.
Thomas was originally going to come up to block Crawford, but Crawford waved his hand covertly, signaling that he wanted to play alone!
It's not a big deal to play Tang Wenlong alone, many stars in the NBA are strong in offense and weak in defense, and Tang Wenlong is also labeled as such.
Tang Wenlong was still calm, as if he hadn't seen Crawford's gestures.
Crawford's shoulders sank, he took a light step on the right, and made a breakthrough to the right, a breakthrough person of this level, the feint of the shoulder was also very in place, Tang Wenlong's heel left the ground, and he maintained a very high concentration.
Suddenly, Crawford held the ball and circled back, and the basketball was grabbed by him to make a back dribble, and at the same time, his body twisted, as if to change direction and break to the left!
But at that moment, he put his other hand behind his back, and the whole person jumped lightly, quickly opened up the space with Tang Wenlong, and withdrew to the right side, and the basketball inexplicably returned to the right hand.
The two back-to-back lucks that have been famous for a long time, plus a small step at the end, moved the body in an instant!
The corners of Crawford's mouth raised slightly, and he was proud in his heart, he didn't know how many times he used this trick in the NBA, but there were a lot of changes, and every time he used it, he saw the white No. 1 out of the corner of his eye, half a step away from him, and now he shoots, it's safe.
But when he jumped high and jumped into the air to shoot, the white figure suddenly appeared in front of him again, and when he stretched out his hand to cover it, there was a feeling of covering the sun.
"Fako, how can it be so fast!" Crawford was taken aback and subconsciously raised the arc to dodge the defense.
The ball made a trajectory in the air, and then hammered down weakly, and it flew out of the baseline without even covering the net, and it was actually an air balloon.
Crawford fell to the ground unsteadily, and retreated, Tang Wenlong also looked at him, and then inexplicably showed a helpless expression, full of mockery.
The referee took the ball and walked to the baseline to serve Louis Williams.
"Look, that's how I defended him, let him shake it over, and the last time to keep up with the interference, if he didn't adjust the arc just now, I could cover him!"
"Big brother, of course your bounce and arm span are okay, if I defend like this, he will score more goals!" Louis Williams glanced at Tang Wenlong, thinking that he really didn't have a backache when he stood and talked.
Tang Wenlong took the serve and then passed it back to Louis Williams.
"Let me go to the low singles, that Frenchman shouldn't be able to guard me." Tang Wenlong said with a smile and Louis Williams.
Williams made an OK gesture in understanding.
Subsequently, Tang Wenlong fell to the low post to receive the ball, and the Trail Blazers let Batum, who was about the same height as Tang Wenlong, defend, Tang Wenlong took a step against Batum, hit two times and then turned over and made a jumper, hit.
Batum also rolled his eyes, Tang Wenlong's strength was much stronger than him, and his chest hurt from two hits, how could anyone play so violently? (To be continued.) )
