Chapter 192 Training Newcomers
Among the stars among the stars, the brightest one became Tang Wenlong, and everyone became his foil.

Looking back at the 12-year All-Star Game, people will only remember the yellow-skinned youth who was the first in history to win the All-Star Game MVP, which is unique.

Some people say that Tang Wenlong is already one of the top five superstars in the league. 2K Company adjusted Tang Wenlong's ability to 90 in a timely manner, of which the offensive ability is a terrifying 95. In the league, only James and Kobe's offensive ability is still higher than him. Even Durant, who has won several scoring titles, has an offensive rating of only 94 at this time.

In any case, the rise of the youth army in this shortened season is already an unstoppable trend.

After the All-Star Game, more and more teams in the league suffered from injuries. Many stars suffered a decline in confrontation due to fatigue, suffered serious injuries, and were even reimbursed for the season.

All the teams have cheered up, and they really can't play back to back, and would rather give up one or two games.

But the Spurs are the only ones in the league who carry forward the word "rotation rest" in an upright manner. The old coach Popovich is simply the most amazing existence among coaches. Without affecting the record, let a bunch of experts drop their eyes.

On March 3, the 1ers flew to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder.

The Thunder currently ranks second in the Western Conference. Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka, the Thunder's uniform team interprets the concept of excellent position selection in the league, and has become the most successful team in recent years that has grown by relying on the draft. .

The 76ers are different from the Thunder. Before the arrival of Tang Wenlong, they were already a strong contender for the playoffs in the league. After Tang Wenlong arrived, with him as the core, after two years of operation, the 76ers strengthened their shortcomings and became a strong player in the Eastern Conference. .

Such a match between the two teams immediately attracted a lot of attention.

……

On the plane to Oklahoma, Marc Gasol sat next to Tang Wenlong, holding an iPad in his hand, watching the talk show Tang Wenlong participated in with earphones and giggling.

"Hahaha, it's so funny!" Gasol laughed nervously a few times, and reached out to pat Tang Wenlong on the shoulder.

Tang Wenlong's face darkened, is it so funny?

"You actually want to be with Cameron, are you crooked? Well, I don't mean to discriminate against broken backs." Gasol spoke very fast, perhaps because he spoke too much Spanish, and there were too many retroflexes .

"The host is too dirty, I don't mean that."

"Hey, I heard that last summer all of our 76ers went to China for activities, and we even took a group photo in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower. Will we go again this year? I really want to go to China too." Gasol turned his head and asked.

Tang Wenlong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you can go if you want, and no one will stop you."

"There may not be any activities this year. There is also the London Olympics. Time is very tight. Anyway, if you come over, I will definitely show you around my motherland at that time, as a landlord."

Gasol hooked Tang Wenlong's neck and said with a grin, "Good brother, remember to take me away..."

The lineup of the 76ers is not neat, David West and Hawes are on the injured list, Louis Williams is also absent from the game due to the flu, and President Stefanski is out of the free market. They signed two temporary workers with a short ten-day contract, one named Briggins and the other named Elson, both players from the Development League, aged 25 and [-], able to run and jump.

The Thunder team has a relatively neat lineup, and the starters have not suffered any injuries. Only the rookie in 09, Eric Maynor, was absent due to injury, and he was only a marginal player in the Thunder team.

The Thunder also has a top 10 draft pick -- Cole Aldridge.

He was a talented center at the University of Kansas back then, but now he sits firmly on the edge of the water cooler, unable to find a future direction in the Thunder.Like Tang Wenlong, he has entered the second year of his career, but he is currently playing less than 8 minutes per game for the Thunder.

Therefore, in this game, there are not a few experts who are optimistic about the Thunder's victory.

So the newly renamed Chesapeake Energy Arena was full of seats, and fans who came to cheer for the Thunder filled the entire arena. This new team that has only moved in for a few seasons is now becoming the pride of Oklahoma. , Everyone wants to see how the home team can defeat a strong enemy.

Tang Wenlong became the villain again, the imaginary enemy of Thunder fans' dream of winning the championship.

After the start of the game, Westbrook, who had been suffocated in the All-Star Game, took the lead. He forced Lowry, rushed into the inside of the Thunder, and played a beautiful glider in front of the defending center Gasol. The layup won the round of applause.

Even more upset is Durant. He scored 36 points in the All-Star Game and failed to make a buzzer at the last moment. If the West wins, he must be the MVP of the All-Star Game.

So Tang Wenlong, who won the MVP, became the one who took away the fruits of victory. When the two of them saw the 76ers coming to fight, their fighting power exploded to one hundred and two in an instant.

The decibels of refueling were deafening, and Westbrook did not connect the teams. Holding the ball was like getting a pack of dynamite, and he rushed to the inside. Collins saw that it was not good.

So at this time, Harden, who replaced him on the field, began to control the ball and organized an offense to shoot Durant from the outside. Westbrook's breakthrough was limited, and Durant and Harden from the outside hit three-pointers one after another.

In the first quarter of the game, the 76ers fell behind 22 to 35 by 13 points, digging a huge hole for themselves.

Tang Wenlong's performance is also very average. The Thunder used Durant to defend him. Durant's height and wingspan are higher than him, and his strength is slightly weaker, but he is very capable of confrontation. His step-back jump shot was seriously interfered with many times, and his efficiency was greatly reduced. .

Whiteside was arranged by Collins to play the game. Rookies such as Joey Leuer and Jimmy Butler all had the opportunity to go on stage to experience the game. Collins did not pay too much attention to the record. It is obvious that Tang Wenlong and Iguodala participated in the All-Star Game Fatigue, and the team cannot always rely on old players to play, young people must be cultivated, and they need to stand up.

Louis and Speights played with three young men, against the bench lineup led by Thunder Harden, and they played impressively.

James Harden broke through Butler's defense after a shake, rushed to the 76ers' inside line for a throw, and was caught by Whiteside. He slapped and flew out of the sideline, boosting the morale of the team.

"Strike!" Iguodala stood up from the bench and took the lead in applauding the younger brother.

Whiteside imitated Tang Wenlong's gesture of clapping fists in the All-Star Game, and also clapped fists at the players resting on the bench. Tang Wenlong, Iguodala and others responded one after another.

This move is a bit of a signature celebration move for the 76ers...
