The Nets lost in Philadelphia, and the evaluation given by the outside world was mostly expected and reasonable.

After all, last season or a few seasons ago, the Nets were just a fish belly team, a regular in the lottery area, and although they rushed to the top eight in the West this season, they still don't look like a strong team.

And the 76ers, that is the defending champion, a super strong team with strong strength and a neat lineup.

Just like the first game between the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat, the Knicks, who are also playing on the road, also lost most of them to the Heat. There are stars, and the accumulation of talent is enough, but the team doesn't look like a whole yet, and it lacks the flavor of twisting into a force.

At the same time, the 13-year NBA lottery draw was all released.

The Magic, who have the worst record, have a one-in-four chance of being the top pick, followed by the Bobcats, Cavaliers, Suns and other league-known underdogs.

The final result was a big surprise, and the Cavaliers won the top pick again after winning the lottery in 11 years. This is followed by the Magic, the Wizards, the Bobcats and the Suns.

It's just that this year is a recognized draft year, and the rookies' immediate combat power and talent potential are obviously not as good as in 12 years. They thought that it would be better to select a super soldier like James again, and it would be perfect, one step in the end.

Then the league announced this year's Defensive Team of the Year.

Tang Wenlong was selected to the All-Defensive First Team, and his defensive assistance has increased this season, and the defensive statistics have become beautiful, and many head coaches have left a deep impression in their hearts, and it is not surprising that he was voted one of the best defensive five in the 2012-13 season by the head coaches.

The remaining four are Chris Paul, Tony Allen, Ibaka and Tyson Chandler.

Squeezed down by Tang Wenlong, it was James, who belonged to a group all year round, and the little emperor was placed in the second defensive lineup, which was the first time since 08. In the second lineup, there are also Tang Wenlong's teammates Gasol Jr., Joakim Noah, Paul George and Tim Duncan.

Another TV commentator and reporter voted for the best team relied more on the popularity and reputation of the players than on the best defensive team. Many players who are not treated well by the media, even if they play luxurious statistics and have a good record, are often selectively forgotten.

For example, DeLong in previous years obviously had the same number of achievements as Paul, but the honors were ridiculously few.

This year's Nets record has come up, but it is still selectively forgotten, not only did Deron not be selected to any lineup, but even Hayward, Lopez and others did not have any honors.

Tang Wenlong has been in the All-NBA team very consistently, in addition to the popular Kobe Bryant in the first line of guards, followed by LeBron and Durant, and the rejuvenated Tim Duncan in the center position.

In the best second team, there are Paul, Westbrook, Anthony, Griffin and Gasol Jr.

Third team: Harden, Wade, Paul George, David Lee and Dwight Howard.

The Golden State Warriors' Curry's average of 23+7 top point guards per game has not even been mixed with three teams, and the shooter who looks like a high school student has not yet caused the league to define an epic shooter, not only ignoring Curry in the selection of the All-Star Game, but also ignoring Curry in this final season-end selection.

Instead, David Lee is considered a key figure in the Warriors' rise.

Only Tang Wenlong, who has played against the Warriors, understands who the real core of the Warriors is, although David Lee is also a very good player, but it is far from the current Curry's lethality to a team, I remember that in a game in February or March, Curry scored 11 three-pointers, scored a career-high 54 points, and detonated the NBA. And that, David Lee couldn't have done.

"What a cheating selection." Iguodala is also a bit resentful, having failed to make any of the offensive and defensive lineups this season, and the accolades are abundant.

On May 9, the Nets and the 76ers played G2.

In this game, the Nets improved their offense, and Deron reduced his own shots and gave Lopez more low-post attacks. Although the effect was still not good, it caused an accidental kill, and Gasol Jr. on the inside was plagued by fouls and almost did not play much in the first half. The Nets also tied the score at 51 just before halftime.

But by the time of the second half, the Nets were obviously still outstretched, and made mistakes when passing the ball several times, and the 76ers seized the opportunity to play a wave of counterattacks, and the 76ers led 82-77 into the fourth quarter.

In Hayward's phrase, it's not at least 20 shots.

This wave of Nets played well, several tactical executions were in place, and the 76ers could not beat the Nets to death in one go without the support of a particularly good offensive frenzy.

It wasn't until the last three minutes of the fourth quarter that the Nets lost their chance to win the game by relying on the lead in details.

In the end, in the G2 game, the 76ers defeated the Nets 110-101 at home.

The Nets suffered two consecutive defeats on the road, and they were suddenly at an absolute disadvantage in the series, and how to decipher the connection between Tang Wenlong and the 76ers' many shooters is a very difficult proposition. In the second game, Tang Wenlong delivered 9 assists again, and most of them were sudden balls, which tested the Nets' outside defensive pressure very much.

Their offense and defense are very layered.

G3 game, moved to the home court of the Nets in Brooklyn.

This is New York, where the Eastern Conference semifinals were held, which instantly raised the enthusiasm of the whole city, and the steel-made city was full of fans wearing Nets and Knicks jerseys.

Although both teams are currently 2-0 behind the enemy, there are now two home games, isn't it?

The home court advantage is conceivable, the NBA has no weak teams, if you can get the help of the referee whistle and the momentum of the home fans, the improvement of strength is not a little bit or two.

The G3 battle has become a battle of hope for the people of New York, similar to the final battle, if it still loses to the 76ers, it is equivalent to a direct GG.

With the home court bonus and the strength and state bonus, the Nets played the best start in the series - 14-3!

The 76ers were drowned out by the super-decibel sound of the New York fans, and all kinds of iron under the cold, after Collins called a timeout, were useless.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the 76ers by 11 points, 28-17.

This is a very rare scene, and the 76ers have not been in such a mess this season, including the regular season. The consequence of this situation is that Tang Wenlong directly reduced the rest time, and returned to the court after just two minutes of rest in the second quarter.

The game is biased in favor of the Nets, and whenever the 76ers are on the rise, there are always situations that happen.

The score gap was very hard to chase the ground, Tang Wenlong gritted his teeth, shot inside and out, and constantly delivered shells to his teammates, and the 76ers were able to chase the score to within 10 points before halftime.

Until the final quarter, the Nets' physical strength declined, and the 76ers adopted a one-four-small lineup.

The referee didn't dare to blow too obviously at such a particularly critical moment, the 76ers seized a wave of defensive opportunities and counterattacked, Tang Wenlong hit a three-point shot, shot two shots, scored 7 points in a row, and chased the score up.

It was a complete demonstration of personal ability, and when his teammates couldn't feel good, he stood up alone and carried the team's offensive banner.

The orange basketball is always in Tang Wenlong's hands, dribbling the ball under the crotch, dribbling behind the back, turning around and stepping back to shoot, his skills are perfect, and Hayward and Joe Johnson's bag defense are difficult to contain him.

Three minutes before the end of the 48th minute, Tang Wenlong caused Hayward to commit his fourth foul of the game and hit two free throws from the free throw line.

It was his 34th point of the game, and the 76ers finally tied the Nets for the first time since the opening.

The mentality of the two teams has changed fundamentally, and after the 76ers replaced experienced players such as Ray Allen and Iguodala, the court control was significantly stronger.

At 1:07, Tang Wenlong distributed the ball to Iguodala, who didn't stop transferring the ball to Ray Allen in the bottom corner and hit a key three-pointer worth a thousand dollars.

The Nets players were on the verge of an ice cellar and led all night, only to be overtaken by their opponents in the final moments.

After that, the Nets failed to score in consecutive openings, and fell into the wolf-like defensive pressure of the 76ers at the critical moment, and Hayward, Joe Johnson and others missed shots one after another.

The 76ers won the G3 game 101-97 and basically announced their advance to the Eastern Conference finals. (To be continued.) )
