Chapter 180 Equally divided?

As soon as Tang Wenlong played, the 76ers found the core of their tactics.

Facing the defense of the rookie player Iman Shumpert, Tang Wenlong received the ball at a 50-degree position from the outside, and dribbled the ball directly to make a breakthrough. The first step was big and fast, and Shumpert had no time to defend.

After passing the rookie with one easy step, someone from the Knicks immediately double-teamed. Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball to an emergency stop, and chose a jumper one and a half steps inside the three-point line.

Hit!This is his 13 points in this field.

At this time, the 76ers tied the score to 38 for the first time since the second quarter. Butler's excellent defense against Douglas just now was the main reason why the 76ers were able to tie.

In the Knicks battle, Stoudemire came out of the corner to catch the ball, took a test step against Speights, and tapped the sky to make a fake shot.As soon as the crowd pulled away, he leaned over and broke through. After two consecutive moves, he broke through Speights' defense. The two people's footsteps were not at the same level.

Stoudemire broke through to the bottom of the basket, raised his long arm, and before Hawes' defense came, he made a low basket and made a hit! 40 to 38.

The current state of Stoudemire is still very good. Last season, he was able to contribute 20+ points per game. The mid-range jumper he developed is a big killer.

The 76ers attacked and gave Tang Wenlong the ball again.

As the head player of the top NBA team and the core of the outside line, he is an indispensable tactic when attacking with the ball. The difference is that sometimes he wants to hold the ball and sometimes he wants to play without the ball.

Hawes immediately ran out to do the pick-and-roll for Tang Wenlong. He has a large body, and the effect of doing the pick-and-roll is much better than Speights.

Tang Wenlong held the ball with one hand, blocked Shumpert with his free left hand, and suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back. Instead of relying on Speights to pick and roll, Tang Wenlong broke through in the opposite direction.

The fake action was false and real, and the change was too late for Shumpert to react. Tang Wenlong made a clean breakthrough and drove into the Knicks inside, which immediately attracted the shrinking of the Knicks' overall lineup. He made another long-distance pass to the outside. Butler who was short, Butler caught the basketball and shot a three-pointer.

His three-pointer was inaccurate, and he just hit the rim when no one was defending him. After the rebound, Stoudemire tapped twice to control the rebound.

The Knicks broke fast, but Butler and others disarmed very quickly. There was no chance that Douglas would wait for all the Knicks players on the outside in the future.

He played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and the flowing wind brushed his face, giving him the illusion that he was Nash.

The ground was assigned to Stoudemire, Tang Wenlong came out slantingly, patted the basketball lightly with his big hand, copied the basketball quickly and rushed to the frontcourt. Can't hold back the inertia.

Tang Wenlong rushed to the frontcourt alone, looked back to see that the Knicks gave up the defense, ran to the basket and jumped easily, and made a reverse 360-degree slam dunk! 40 to 40.

This dunk boosted the morale of the 76ers players. Sometimes morale is invisible but real. He can stimulate the adrenaline of the athletes to soar, and even temporarily forget fatigue!

D'Antoni keenly felt that something was wrong, so he requested a timeout, which was forced to be used anyway.

The completion of such a dunk made the 76ers very excited. Louis Williams ran over and jumped up, and had a passionate chest bump with Tang Wenlong to celebrate. It’s a pity that this is the home court of the Knicks, otherwise it would definitely cause even bigger cheers .

Back from the timeout, both Anthony and Chandler returned to the court.

The 76ers also replaced Lowry, Gasol and others. Gasol had two fouls on his back. When he played, the head coach Collins told him not to foul again. If he fouled again, he would have to shorten his playing time in the second half. .

Tang Wenlong is very excited to be able to defend Anthony alone. His defense has made great progress this season. Anthony is known as the person with the most comprehensive offensive skills in the NBA after Pierce. It is the best proof of self-worth.

It's just that Anthony is very difficult to guard against, and today's hand feels good. The two of them can only be regarded as evenly divided on the court.

Anthony's efficiency was relatively low when he attacked Tang Wenlong with his back, but there were many changes in the tentative attack when he turned around. Tang Wenlong was not efficient in singles, and he always had a chance to score.

Before halftime, Anthony scored 17 points, Tang Wenlong scored 16 points, and the Knicks led 55 to 53 by 2 points.

Madison fans see hope. Although the 76ers are now ranked No. [-] in the league, everyone does not admit that they have the No. [-] level in the league, because the season has just started, and there is a lot of luck involved, but the rise of Philadelphia It is obvious to all, and being able to defeat such a strong neighbor is also a great encouragement for the struggling Knicks.

At the beginning of the second half, Anthony played particularly excitedly.

Niujiao District turned around to push Tang Wenlong away, facing Gasol's supplementary defense, he dunked after jumping under the basket, playing like a young man with outstanding jumping ability. 57 to 53.

"Beautiful, great fight!" The great director Spike Lee shouted loudly, punching.

"That little old man is really hateful, jumping around." Fang Chuxia pouted dissatisfiedly when he saw the scene of Spike Lee, a die-hard Knicks fan, shouting.

Tang Wenlong catches the ball from the outside line and makes a breakthrough, dribbles behind the free throw line and stops suddenly, and raises his hand to make a shot. 57 to 55.

In the Knicks battle, Anthony and Stoudemire made a pick-and-roll. David West delayed Anthony on the line.

Seeing through the defense, keen judgment and decisive shots, steals are that simple.

The 76ers made a fast break, and Tang Wenlong followed behind Iguodala. Douglas, who was only 88 meters tall, saw two strong men about two meters running towards him, like two running rhinos.

Iguodala glanced at Tang Wenlong, who was two steps behind him, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind. He dribbled the ball to face Douglas, raised his hand and threw the ball on the backboard, looking like he was throwing randomly.

Tang Wenlong raised his head when he heard Iguodala yelling "Accept!" behind him.

"Fuck!"

Before Tang Wenlong had time to complain, he saw the basketball that had hit the backboard. His mind went blank at this moment, and he subconsciously took a step. Then he stepped on the floor and leaped into the sky with a whoosh.

Douglas was dizzy, and the basketball he had been paying attention to didn't know where it flew.

At this time, Tang Wenlong seemed to have escaped from the gravity of the earth. He caught the basketball that hit the backboard and bounced back with both hands. He suddenly found that the basketball in this place seemed to be a little lower from the basket.
So after taking the ball, Tang Wenlong took advantage of the opportunity to pull the bar like a big windmill, which just happened to pull the ball to a higher place, and at the same time, his body flew to the basket, and he dunked with both hands!

"Bang!"

It was like an explosion! 57 to 57, tied the score.

Because of Tang Wenlong's top-level jumping ability and outstanding wingspan, no one can surpass him in dunking. With such a dunking level, he will naturally be in a mess.

Then the Knicks attacked, Stoudemire's shot was missed by West, and the rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong.

The 76ers played a simple pick-and-roll. Lowry attracted the double-teamer and was assigned to Tang Wenlong, who was running in the bottom corner. 60 to 57!

The Knicks attacked, Anthony gave Shumpert a shot, Shumpert felt stiff, his eyes were blocked by the experienced Iguodala, and he threw an air ball.

The 76ers had no chance to counterattack. After reorganizing, Tang Wenlong made a 45-degree breakthrough. This time, he assigned it to Lowry, who was shorted from the outside line. Lowry shot a three-pointer and hit it! 63 to 57!

D'Antoni immediately called a timeout.

After the third quarter, the 76ers showed tightness on both ends of the offense and defense, while the Knicks' perimeter defense was still sloppy. Once the offense fell off the chain, the point difference was immediately opened.

D'Antoni is in a dilemma. The biggest problem for the Knicks now is defense. He is a coach who advocates offense, but it doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to defense. He is powerless now.

After talking about a few innocuous tactics, he put the Knicks back on the court.

The tactics of the 76ers on the field are obvious. When Tang Wenlong single-handedly defended Anthony in the second half, his teammates would occasionally double-team him. Anthony’s efficiency dropped and he distributed the ball, allowing others to attack independently. However, including Stoudemire today, his offensive ability is very limited. , Fields and Shumpert, two young outside players, are not as capable of holding the ball as the 76ers Meeks, and Iguodala may cut off the ball even if they dribble.

The Knicks suddenly fell into a dilemma, breaking the illusion of a seemingly even split.
