Chapter 169 Violence
In the opening game, the Heat won the Mavericks. James, who was criticized by everyone in the summer, made a strong comeback. He ran wild in Dallas and scored 37 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Wade cooperated with James to complete several lobs. Wow, the tacit understanding between the two is getting better and better.

But Bosh couldn't get out of the shadows, and got 9 points embarrassingly on 2 of 4 shots, and only 7 rebounds.

The winner will not pay attention to the details. The Big Three in Miami quietly transformed into the Big Two, and the two ball-handling players divided up the ball that was not enough to distribute.

Then in the second game arranged by the league, the Clippers played against the Warriors. Both teams were weak in the West last season, but the Clippers have changed this season. After having Paul, they feel that their combat power has soared.

In the first game of the season, the fiery Staples was full of spectators watching the queen bee performance. The Warriors couldn't stand it and lost the game 86 to 105.

For the Clippers, Paul, Griffin, and Billups all scored 20+ points, while only 4 for the Warriors scored in double figures. Ellis and Curry combined for 31 points on 12 shots. , as a shooter, Curry made 12 of 2 shots and only scored 4 points embarrassingly.

In the third game, the 76ers played against the Trail Blazers at home.

In the first quarter of the game, the 76ers showed a good temperament. Although Tang Wenlong only hit 1 goal and scored 2 points, he sent 5 assists in a single quarter, tying his career record.

The 76ers also led by 32 points 24 to 9 in the first quarter.

Director Zhang yelled several times, "It's really amazing. We were pleasantly surprised to see the changes in Tang Wenlong. He has become more comprehensive and has a better outlook on the overall situation."

"His passing the ball these few times is really beautiful. It can be seen that he must have strengthened his training in this area in the summer." Director Zhang continued with a smile, "I think the experience of the national team's Asian Championships has helped him. It's definitely not small, he knows a better position to share basketball, which is very important..."

But in fact, Tang Wenlong just thinks that Matthews is better defensively. He fell to the low post several times to prepare for singles against the Blazers, but decisively double-teamed the Blazers. It was not a critical moment in the last quarter. , so he simply brushed up the assists, but it was very easy.

The Trail Blazers also reached the top eight in the Western Conference last season, and they can be regarded as a strong team in the Western Conference. However, this season they encountered the upgraded 76ers, but they played very hard.

Collins faced the camera with a serious face, but he was actually happy.

In the second quarter, substitute players came on the field, and the Blazers replaced the famous Super Sixer Jamal Crawford, as well as small forward Nicolas Batum from Lisso, France, and others.

The Blazers' bench players are no worse than the 76ers' bench at all. The tactical execution of the two teams' benches is very poor, mainly based on chaotic battles and simple pick-and-roll offenses. The offensive rhythm is fast, but there are many mistakes. , You come and I run back and forth, but the score rises very slowly.

Tang Wenlong sits very leisurely on the bench, and he has learned how to wait for opportunities correctly.

Iguodala is just playing hard, but Crawford is a player like a nerve knife, just like Louis Williams. Most of them rely on swaying shots as the main offensive method, but there are many outrageous shots. , You can still make a shot, it looks like a fool, but it has a bit of a hit rate.

After that, the Blazers took the opportunity to close the score. When Tang Wenlong came on the court, the difference between the two teams was only 4 points.

Tang Wenlong and Speights played a pick-and-roll on the inside. Speights received a pass from Tang Wenlong after dismantling the mid-range position, and raised his hand for a mid-range shot, but missed.

The offense was switched, and the Blazers handed it over to Crawford. He has scored 8 points in this quarter, and he feels hot.

Tang Wenlong leaned forward and locked onto Crawford with his arms outstretched like an eagle. Crawford was shorter than him, and his physical resistance was not high.

Crawford began to shake his shoulders regularly, and the two looked at each other.

The Trail Blazers insider Thomas was going to come up to do a pick and roll for Crawford, but Crawford waved his hand covertly, signaling that he wants to play singles for this ball!
It's no big deal for Tang Wenlong to play singles. Many NBA stars are strong offensively and weak defensively. Tang Wenlong is also labeled as such.

Tang Wenlong remained calm, as if he hadn't seen Crawford's gesture.

Crawford's shoulders sank, he took a light step to the right, and made a breakthrough to the right. For a breakthrough of this level, the shoulder fakes were also very good. Tang Wenlong's heels were off the ground and he maintained extremely high concentration.

Suddenly, Crawford circled back with the ball, and he grabbed the basketball and made a dribble behind his back. At the same time, he twisted his body, as if he wanted to change direction and break through to the left!
But at that moment, he put his other hand behind his back, took a light jump, quickly opened up the space with Tang Wenlong, and withdrew to the right side, and the basketball returned to the right hand inexplicably.

The two back-and-forth moves that have been famous for a long time, plus the last small step of the finishing touch, instantly moved the body!

The corner of Crawford's mouth slightly raised, not without complacency in his heart. He has used this trick countless times in the NBA, but there are many changes in it. Every time he uses it, it can have a great effect. He can see white in the corner of his eyes. No. 1, who is still half a step away from him, is shooting now, very 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, he felt like he was covering the sun.

"Fake, how could it be so fast!" Crawford was taken aback, and subconsciously raised the arc to avoid the defense.

The ball drew a trajectory in the air, and then hammered down weakly. It flew out of the baseline without even covering the net. It turned out to be an air ball.

Crawford fell to the ground unsteadily, and retreated slowly. Tang Wenlong also looked at him, and then inexplicably showed a helpless expression, full of sarcasm.

The referee took the ball and went to the baseline to serve to Lou Williams.

"Look, that's how I guard against him. Let him sway and catch up with the interference for the last time. If he didn't raise the arc just now, I can block him!"

"Brother, of course your jumping and wingspan are good. If I defend like this, he will score more goals!" Louis Williams gave Tang Wenlong a blank look, thinking that it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk.

Tang Wenlong took the serve and passed it back to Louis Williams.

"Let me play in the low post, that Frenchman probably won't be able to guard me." Tang Wenlong said to Louis Williams with a smile.

Williams made an ok gesture to show understanding.

Later, Tang Wenlong fell to the low post to catch the ball, and the Blazers let Batum, who was about the same height as Tang Wenlong, defend.

Batum also rolled his eyes. Tang Wenlong is much stronger than him, and his chest hurts from two hits. How can someone play so violently?
