Chapter 48: Tang Long's Gift to the Motor City
"History first?!" Barkley and Smith's eyes widened.
"That's right, that's my goal, I'm going to be the No. 1 center in history!"
"It's not easy, with Russell, Shaq, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar... These are insurmountable barriers! ”
"Wait and see, set yourself a small goal and win the championship this season! A tribute to the Magicians' rookie season! ”
Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed and gave Tang Long a thumbs up.
Young people are energetic!
After asking some relevant questions, the interview ended.
……
Detroit, Auburn Hills Palace.
There are so many stories about what happened in this arena, where Artest had a fight with Big Ben, then beat up the fans, was severely punished by president David Stern, and was almost expelled from the league.
After that violent and bloody incident, the palace of Auburn Hills has been the devil's home of the League, which can be described as notorious!
Of course, these factors also have to do with the Pistons' style of play.
Before the game, more than 20,000 fans had filled the stadium and shouted frantically to cheer for the team.
Knights locker room.
"Don, you must be mentally prepared before you go out, this Pistons' away game is not easy to play!"
James reminded Tang Long with palpitations.
"Huh? Is the devil home? ”
"It's not quite like Minnesota, where the fans are very tough, and they're going to greet your family and boo you like crazy!"
Tang Long bowed his head calmly, indicating that he knew.
After packing up, the two walked into the players' tunnel together.
The reporter's microphone was immediately handed over, and the reporter in the piston jacket did not hide his identity, and directly asked very offensive questions.
"Don... As we all know, Rashid Wallace has a bad temper, and he is against you this time, will you be afraid of clash with him? ”
Tang Long's face was indifferent, and he looked at the reporter condescendingly: "It's a pity, my temper is not too good, if there is a conflict, I think you need to worry more about his safety!" ”
The reporter secretly mocked: "But Rashid's salary is much more than yours, and technical fouls will be fined!" ”
James walked out from the side and pushed Tang Long forward: "Then do you think I have enough money?" Well? ”
The talkative reporter couldn't speak, so he could only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Obviously, James's salary is much more than that of Roaring Tianzun!
As soon as he walked into the stadium, the invective of the fans was immediately heard.
"China Tang! You soft eggs from the Dragon Kingdom! Go home and get milk! ”
"Don't think you're a top player after two games! You're just a little piece of trash! ”
"Our Roaring Venerable will knock you out of the! Kick your temper hard, you'd better be careful! ”
In the face of the fans' abuse, Tang Long calmly turned his head and raised his middle finger.
This move immediately angered the fans even more, and Tang Long just pretended not to hear it and warmed up on his own.
"Don, you cow, you have the audacity to provoke these madmen in Detroit!"
James couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Tang Long laughed and disagreed: "These guys are just the most talking!" If you really want him to come down and fight with me, you can't let the flow! ”
James laughed and nodded.
At the same time, it is very compensated for Tang Long's psychological quality.
When I was on the court for the first time, I was still very nervous.
At most, it can only be regarded as no one speaks, and he does not dare to take the initiative to respond.
Now I admire Tang Long even more.
Unlike the fans, Pistons captain Billups took the initiative to come up and shake hands and greet James and Tang Long for a while.
This also made Tang Long a little different from the Pistons.
They are just passionate and tough, not dirty.
The game is about to start and both sides are already in their positions.
The starters sent by the Cavaliers remain unchanged, which are still Larry Hughes, Pavlovich, James, Drew Gooden and Don Long.
The lineup on the Pistons' side is.
Point guard: Billups.
Shooting guard: Hamilton.
Small forward: Prince.
Power forward: Mike Dyce.
Center: Rasheed Wallace.
The referee was still communicating at the technical desk, and Rashid Wallace took the initiative to talk: "Don! I've seen a lot of your fights, and you're really playing well, so I'm going to fight you with all my might! ”
Tang Long spread his hands, looking indifferent: "Then I'll use seventy percent of the force, after all, I only used fifty percent of the strength before." ”
Rashid Wallace had a black line on his face, glaring at the arrogant Tang Long, quite annoyed.
This kid from the Dragon Kingdom is bold, the first time he came to the palace of Auburn Hills, he dared to provoke him and roar at Tianzun!
We'll give him some color on the field and see!
The referee returns to the field and the game officially begins.
Tang Long always pressed Rasheed Wallace to get the ball and dialed it to Larry Hughes behind him.
The latter moves forward with the ball.
From the moment the Cavaliers got the ball, all the fans booed wildly, creating pressure on the players.
Larry Hughes was a little constrained on the dribble.
"Larry Hughes, give the ball!"
Tang Long caught the ball with his right hand and grabbed it in the air with one hand, and his movements were very chic.
Signaling the other players to pull away, the knights were naturally obedient.
“WOW!! China Tang wants to play singles when he comes up! ”
"It's ferocious! There are not many people who come up and roar at Tianzun like this! ”
"China Tang has made a force! Straight back hit! Rashid was a little overwhelmed by Don! Don's core power is too terrifying! ”
"Not a little! Rashid was pushed back and forth! He couldn't bear the power at all! ”
"Don turned around! WOW!!! He took off! Buckle! ”
"It's terrifying, is this the gift that Tang Long brought to the Motor City?"
"I can't help but wonder, did Tang Long use all his strength in the previous competition? Or is it just a casual fight? ”
The commentators opened their mouths wide in shock, they knew that Tang Long was tough, but they didn't expect to be so tough!
came up and singled out one of the five Tigers of the Pistons, and it was still a violent dunk!
on the field.
Tang Long turned to face the fans after shutting down Rashid Wallace, his index finger on his lips, and his eyes looked at them fiercely.
The fans booed even more wildly.
And Tang Long seemed to enjoy this feeling very much, with an unbridled smile on his face.
On the sidelines, Mike Brown was a little confused.
I have long known that Tang Long's temper is not very good, and he must play more arrogantly in the face of the Pistons.
On the other side, Pistons head coach Philip Saunders kept shaking his head in disbelief.
He may have seen the peak O'Neal, and he is the only one in this alliance who dares to beat Rashid Wallace like this!
Rashid Wallace's temper on the field instantly rose, and he pointed at Tang Long and roared: "SHIT! Damn it, you wait for me to see if I blow you up later! ”
Tang Long turned his head with a smile, his eyes full of contempt: "It turns out that this is how the nickname of Roaring Tianzun came from?" was blown up by others, and could only roar and vent. ”
said, with a gesture of spreading hands.
Rashid Wallace was so angry that he rushed up and wanted to knock Tang Long to the ground.
Billups and Prince on the side hurriedly grabbed him, if the team's main center was punished as soon as he came up, there would be no way to play this game!
