Chapter 113
In the mainstream media in the United States, there are few who are optimistic about Tang Wenlong becoming a superstar. I remember that when Tang Wenlong first entered the league, he encountered a lot of doubts as the No. [-] pick.Because people of the yellow race in my impression are all physically weak, vulnerable, and unable to withstand high-intensity competitions.

But now, Tang Wenlong has become the most talented player in the entire league.

The 76ers have never said it, but they have already acquiesced in the fact that Tang Wenlong is the core.Including Iguodala, who seems to be in his prime is also willing to be a green leaf.

Judging from Tang Wenlong's gradually increasing proportion of the ball and the fact that he was reused by coaches at critical moments, everyone seemed to be used to this style of play.

In the prolific third quarter, he contributed 10 points alone, and while raising his personal score to 29 points, he led the team to achieve a lead.

However, the Mavericks are worthy of being a team with the league's top substitutes. During the rotation time, they continued to erode the lead of the 76ers.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Peja threw two three-pointers.

Tang Wenlong almost didn't spit out a sip of water off the court. He didn't feel it when he was on the court. When the main players returned to the bench to PK, the gap showed that it wasn't even a tiny bit.

Fortunately, Williams is also in good condition today. In this wave of 76ers' offense, a throw after a breakthrough stabilized the situation.

Collins stood up and sat down again, his fists clenched away again.

When the rotation was normal in the last quarter, Tang Wenlong was scheduled to play. Collins waved his hand and replaced the substitute, ending his fearful state of mind.

此时，小牛队107比104领先76人3分，时间还有最后7分36秒。

Dallas local TV host John made a prediction on the outcome of the game.

"Obviously, the Mavericks have the absolute upper hand. The Mavericks have been in the lead for most of the game. Dirk Nowitzki has scored 26 points and Terry has contributed 21. Two guys combined to make eight 8-pointers from beyond the arc, and it looks like it's still going on."

In fact, the trend of the game was exactly as John had expected. Within ten seconds after Tang Wenlong played, the offensive Mavericks hit another three-pointer, which was still made by Kidd, who is not good at long-range shots.

"Strengthen the perimeter defense!"

Iguodala raised his arms and shouted, clapping his hands to boost everyone's morale.

After the pick-and-roll attack, Tang Wenlong received the ball on the weak side.He quickly swung the ball back and forth under his crotch, and suddenly stretched his hand forward. With a change in his wrist, the trajectory of the basketball seemed to change suddenly from left to right.

There was a time difference so that Terry, who was defending back, couldn't keep up with Tang Wenlong's pace, and watched Tang Wenlong enter the hinterland.

The Mavericks were forced to shrink the line of defense. Tang Wenlong rolled his eyes, and there were opportunities for neutrals at the bottom corner and 45 degrees on the left wing. Lowry and Iguodala raised their hands at the same time.

"呲~"

The toes were pressed hard, and the red sneakers made a friction sound on the clean floor.

Tang Wenlong jumped high, raised his straight arms and leaned forward, and made a very skillful emergency stop jumper in front of Chandler who was defending.

命中！106比110，76人落后4分，唐文龙砍下第31分。

Terry raised his hand. Just now, the Mavericks had a problem with the overall rotation defense, and it wasn't just him alone. But when it got to this critical moment, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, and he especially wanted to Show off.

Terry had possession of the ball for half court, and Kidd screened Nowitzki off the ball.

The old ball has rich experience and perfect skills. Although he is a defender, the quality of this screen is very high. Nowitzki was delayed to catch the ball, and Tang Wenlong was blocked for a while.

Nowitzki didn't talk nonsense, he raised his hand and shot.

Hollow into the net, simply neat. 112 to 106, the Mavericks lead by 6 points.

Lowry and Dalembert played a pick-and-roll, and even directly let Dalembert pass down to get a chance. He gave a through ball to the basket Dalembert.Since Tang Wenlong stood outside the three-point line and opened up the overall space for the Mavericks, the Haitian dunked easily with both hands.

112:108.

Immediately afterwards, Terry missed a jumper from outside the three-point line and Iguodala missed a layup.

When the Mavericks were attacking, Marion stepped on the sideline and gave the ball to the 76ers. The 76ers replaced Williams and Meeks to further strengthen the outside firepower.

Meeks made a contribution when he came on the court. He got Tang Wenlong's breakthrough goal from the three-point line and hit a key three-pointer. 112 to 111.

However, on the defensive end, Meeks' movement speed is obviously not as good as Williams'. Terry changed his state of outside floating shots and chose a lethal strong burst very smartly.

Sure enough, he broke through to the inside and scored Chandler. Chandler made another foul and fouled Dalembert.

Tang Wenlong twisted his waist, walked to the standing line, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Nowitzki, while Iguodala, who had a better position, directly stood at the power forward position.

Chandler tapped the ball and missed the first free throw.

His face turned black. Missing a free throw at such a critical moment is what coach Carlisle hates the most. Maybe he will be scolded again after the game.

This change in mental state, coupled with more enthusiastic boos, made the second free throw even more outrageous. It hit the basket's neck and missed to the right, and was firmly held in his arms by the jumping Iguodala.

"Slot!" Chandler shook his hand, turned around and ran, and two stinging lights faintly came from behind.

Tang Wenlong was delighted, he didn't expect this foul to be paid off, he was excited to run, and rushed to the first echelon immediately, and there was no Mavericks to keep up with him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, and pay attention to retreat!" Carlisle was the first to see Tang Wenlong who had stolen it, and shouted out loudly, reminding the Mavericks.

At this time, Iguodala, who was dribbling, had found No. 1, who was fluttering in white. The long pass was like a direct missile, extremely accurate.

Tang Wenlong received the ball. At this time, the eyes of the Mavericks players who followed the basketball finally focused on Tang Wenlong who had run a little beyond the three-point line, and then he reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and ran to catch up.

Tang Wenlong suddenly stopped the car outside the three-point line, and actually shot a chasing three-pointer!
"This shot is too hasty and unreasonable!" The host of Dallas TV shook his head and made a sighing evaluation, "The 76ers have not arrived yet, and the rebounds are actually scored. Today's luck is still low. Really nice."

"114 to 112, leading by two points!"

Tang Wenlong stood there without moving, his arm was still in the shooting position, and he watched the basketball smash into the basket, and then he clenched his fist and shouted.

Carlisle requested a timeout.

Tang Wenlong's chasing three-pointer directly suspended the Mavericks. It seemed that his shooting touch was better than Nowitzki's in this game. During this period of time, he scored five points in a row, and his offensive efficiency was surprisingly high.

"Very good guys, we played well."

Collins encouraged the players who were leaving the field one by one, "The Dallas people have fallen into a predicament. Listen to the cheers from the audience, that is the greatest honor for you."

"We still blocked the outside line of the Mavericks. Once their nerve knives are suppressed, it is impossible to beat us with just two points. Our offense is doing very well, and the work of tearing up the zone defense is very good. Jody, You're doing really well. Keep going around the 45s and the corners and stay focused."

In the last sentence, Collins encouraged Meeks. The latter's play is huge for the Mavericks' zone defense.

Meeks nodded, flattered.

After returning from the timeout, the Mavericks' offensive and defensive intensity has increased by more than one level.

Nowitzki singled Tang Wenlong and hit a jumper with a turnaround. The two teams tied at 114.

Then there was another tug-of-war. With 2 minutes left in the game, Tang Wenlong made a layup and caused Chandler's thug foul. The latter was the fifth foul of the game. Tang Wenlong walked to the free throw line.

两罚两中，76人121比118领先3分，唐文龙已经拿下了37分，第四节贡献了8分。

This critical moment is also the moment that tests the heart's endurance the most!
Dallas fans, Philadelphia fans, American fans, Chinese fans, there are thousands of fans sitting in front of the TV watching this focus game.

Marion got a chance to play a post-up single, hit the basket with a hook-like throw, and bounced out.

Dirk Nowitzki and Dalembert scramble for the rebound and seem to be pointing the ball out of bounds at the same time.At that moment, Tang Wenlong and his teammates pointed towards the Mavericks half court, and the players of the Mavericks were not slow to react, and at the same time raised their hands and pointed in the opposite direction.

The on-duty referee looks at the sideline referees for advice.

The sideline referee spread his hands and waved his hands to show that he didn't see clearly.

Under such circumstances, the referee suspended the game without a doubt, and then the three referees got together and walked to the technical platform in the middle.The referee put on his earphones and watched the replay of the rebound just now.

Replays are performed from multiple angles, and the replays can be viewed with the audience.

After zooming in and slowing down several times, the audience still couldn't see the clues, but the referee relied on his own judgment and the change of the ball path, and finally ruled the result..
