Chapter 182 Changes
Fang Chuxia's vacation was coming to an end, so she simply stayed at school in New York.

And Tang Wenlong left New York with the team, and went to Boston's North Shore Garden to challenge the Celtics, who suffered the most last season. This is a game that cannot be lost.

Last season, the Celtics eliminated the 4ers 3-76. The fans in the two places and the two cities were at war, and the relationship between the players of the two teams was also very tense.

It's a pity that although the Celtics eliminated the 76ers, they also spent half their lives. They lost to the Heat 1-4 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Tang Wenlong was still thinking that the Celtics could win the championship. Speaking of which, he was also a man who had fought against the championship for seven games. It didn't sound that embarrassing, but it was too disappointing. (Celtic: Blame me?)

This time I came to the TD North Shore Garden Arena again, and the ticket sales were significantly higher than the previous game against the Pacers.

The Celtics lineup has hardly changed, and they still have the same old faces. Brandon Bass, Pietrus and others were added to the bench, but Jeff Green was lost to the 76ers last season. General of serious damage.

As early as December 12 last year, that is, a month ago, during the preseason, Jeff Green was found to have an aortic aneurysm and needed immediate surgery.Later, the operation was completed, so he will miss all the games of the entire 18-11 season. It is a pity that such a thing happened to a potential player who is still on the rise.

Before the start of the game, Tang Wenlong hugged Pierce, Ray Allen and others in a gracious manner.Although he lost the game last season, Tang Wenlong's strength has been recognized by the Celtics. No matter who defends him, he can always find opportunities to score, especially the lore like the battle of Tianwangshan. When I was playing the second round, I would occasionally think of this game in my dreams.

Due to the grievances of last season, this game was set to be broadcast live across the United States.

Magic Johnson partnered with Drexler to explain the game. Drexler had praised Tang Wenlong's talent more than once. This time he explained the 76ers, but he couldn't help but show his talent.

"Tang Wenlong's shooting is the best I have ever seen. It doesn't mean that he is standard, of course he is indeed very standard, but the continuity of his shooting touch, you know, as long as he scores two or three in a game One ball, he'll start throwing wildly with a bang, and the hit rate is amazing."

Magic Johnson saw the changes in Tang Wenlong this season: "I think Tang Wenlong has become more comprehensive. Not only has his scoring ability improved this season, but his rebounding and assists have also increased to a large extent, especially in defense. It is very comprehensive to have the pace of a small man, and also be able to go inside and fight against a light-weight big man."

After the game started, Gasol jumped and beat O'Neal.

O'Neal is getting slower and slower. When the young Gasol is running, he looks a little more flexible than O'Neal. The two are equally burly.

Lowry's first wave of offense was handed over to Tang Wenlong to attack with the ball. Tang Wenlong singled out Pierce at the 50-degree position.

After a simple sway, he took one step past Pierce. Pierce's offense was at a historical level, but his defense was average. Tang Wenlong's breakthrough this time relied entirely on the explosive power of one step, which was so fast that he couldn't adjust his pace.

Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball into the three-point line, suddenly stopped at the free throw line, leaned to the other side and threw the ball.

The shape of the hand was positive, and he flicked the basketball lightly, making a hollow hit. 2 to 0.

The Celtics fell into a familiar positional battle. Rondo controlled the ball and Garnett did a pick-and-roll. Garnett's pick-and-roll effect was mediocre, and Lowry was able to follow Rondo closely without switching defenses.Rondo accelerated the breakthrough by himself, and after getting deep into the inside, he was flanked by Gasol and Lowry, leaving almost no room for passing the ball.

He calmly grabbed the ball with one hand and circled behind his back, and distributed the ball to Ray Allen who was ambushing in the bottom corner like magic.

Iguodala rushed over, and Ray Allen shot a three-pointer with a little fadeaway, and the shot was very fast.

The basketball misses and the rebound bounces down the middle.

Tang Wenlong, who was seated with Pierce, shouted loudly, squeezed Pierce's hands away and grabbed the basketball in the air, grabbed the basketball with a "snap", and landed firmly on the floor.

Tang Wenlong wanted to make a fast break when he landed, Pierce stretched out his hand for a delay, and his whole body blocked the direction of Tang Wenlong's dribble.

But Tang Wenlong's left foot was the axis, and his right foot drew a circle on the ground like a windmill. He turned around 360 degrees unexpectedly, and ran over Pierce like a top.

"Fuck, why are you so flexible!" Pierce cursed secretly. It is not easy for a tall man to turn around, and it is easy to miss the ball when encountering confrontation. Graduated from high school.

Tang Wenlong got another chance to sprint to the frontcourt. Rondo had just killed the inside, and Ray Allen fell to the bottom corner. The only one who could chase and defend was Pierce who was passed.

Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball and ran to the frontcourt, looked back cautiously, and found that Pierce was not far from him.

Controlling his pace, he suddenly slowed down, picked up the ball and was about to dunk in three big steps. He took the first step when a strong force came from behind him, but his whole body was imprisoned. Out of touch, the basketball flew out.

"Doo~" Foul, no doubt.

Tang Wenlong walked to the free throw line, and the familiar boos sounded from the North Shore Garden. He did not change his face and made two free throws.

It was the turn of the Celtics to attack, Garnett missed a high jumper, and the rebound was single-handedly won by Gasol, who was stuck in the main position. Although Marc Gasol and Pau Gasol are brothers, but two people style is completely different.Pau Gasol, who has already made achievements in Los Angeles, has excellent defense, accurate shooting, and is also very good at rebounding, but on the basketball court, he relies more on technology and his playing style tends to be European. To put it bluntly, he is a bit soft.But Mark is completely different. He has a strong physique and is not afraid of confrontation. He had a tough fight with Duncan last season, and he can see his tough side.

In the current 76ers lineup, what Gasol needs to do well is defense. The first thing Gasol does after grabbing a rebound is to look for Tang Wenlong to see if he has a fast break.

There was no chance to pass the ball, and then it was given to Lowry who came to catch the ball, and Lowry advanced halfway.

After making a simple cross screen, Tang Wenlong received the ball from the left corner to the 60-degree position of the right three-point line. Gasol's off-ball screen was of high quality, and O'Neal was forced to switch to Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball with a burst of speed, forced O'Neal past Jermaine O'Neal, rushed into the basket with three big strides from the side, took off with one foot, and dunked with his left-handed tomahawk. 6 to 0.

Then the Celtics and 76ers each missed an offense.

The Celtics made an offensive mistake, and the 76ers got the ball. After reserving the ball, Tang Wenlong broke through with the ball. Tang Wenlong went deep into the basket and gave it to Lowry at the top of the outside arc. Lowry hit a three-pointer, 9-0!

The opening wave of 9-0 showed the difference between the 76ers and the Celtics this season. Rivers was furious and made a time-out gesture like the referee. Even facing the number one in the league, the Celtics People shouldn't be labeled like this
