Chapter 222 The Eagle
The Eagles are a team that has been in the playoffs all year round. During the 08-11 season, they broke into the second round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. It is also amazing to be able to score under 4 to 2.

It is a pity that due to the intensive schedule this year, the Eagles injured the young main center Horford, and even in the playoffs, they could only use Jason Collins as the team's starter. The latter is already 34 years old. He is very old and has been on the bench all year round. He never thought that he would be able to take on this important task when he was about to retire.

Playing against the Celtics, it happened that the Celtics also injured Garnett, playing against the stronger 76ers, it was full of health and state, and the lineup was full, so before the game started, the eagle's inside problem had already been pointed out by experts It's okay, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that the 76ers are expected to at least reach the Eastern Conference Finals this season.

This seems to be an uneven playoffs, but the West has become miserable in the second round, with the Lakers fighting the Thunder and the Spurs fighting the Clippers.

The fans took their seats one by one. Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi, who came to play, also sat on the sidelines. Because it was Philadelphia's home stadium, Tang Wenlong got two front row seats, and two beautiful girls sat on the sidelines. Immediately attracted a lot of attention, and even the scenes of the two appeared on the big screen many times.

After warm-ups, the starters from both sides stayed on the court, the 76ers in white and the Eagles in dark blue classics.

76ers starting: Lowry, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala, David West, Marc Gasol.

Hawks starters: Jeff Teague, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Jason Collins.

Director Su Qun of CCTV5 immediately made a lineup analysis, "The Eagles have obviously changed their lineup. In the first round, Hinrich and Teague started as partners. When it came time to play against the 76ers, because the 76ers With Tang Wenlong on the field, the Eagles had to use the second position of similar height to defend, so Hinrich, who was relatively short, was put on the bench, Marvin was the fourth position, and Josh Smith was the small forward. , he has such ability."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Hawks are a very strange team. They prefer swingers, especially the swingers at the third and fourth positions. They have cultivated a lot. Like Josh Smith, Marvin Williams and even the bench. Ivan Johnson on the court, they're all these types of players, tall and have great running and jumping ability, it's like the Atlanta Athletics."

The two laughed and talked about the game lineup, and it was time to kick off soon.

The main starting players of both sides settled their positions. Gasol and Josh Smith walked to the center circle to jump the ball. From the perspective of size, the Eagles were relatively uniform and tall, while the 76ers were very tall in every position. standard.

Whistle, the game begins!
It takes time to take off, and it takes time to jump to the highest altitude. The referee did not throw the ground hard enough. Gasol stepped on his foot just [-] centimeters from the ground, the basketball fell, and then he clicked the basketball back.

At this time, Josh Smith was still going up, like a straight-up elevator, pressing on the highest floor, and couldn't stop at all.

"Damn it, didn't the referee have dinner?" When Josh Smith flew to the highest altitude, he looked down at the crowd who had started to run, and complained endlessly in his heart.

In the first wave of the 76ers' offense, Lowry still handed over to Tang Wenlong to control the ball.

The one defending Tang Wenlong is Josh Smith, who just jumped the ball, and Joe Johnson, who played as a shooting guard, is defending Iguodala. Obviously, Hawks head coach Larry Drew is more concerned about Tang Wenlong's terrorist performance on the offensive end , So take the best defensive player in the team to limit Tang Wenlong.

Josh Smith is an excellent defender, but he is not as effective in defending the flanks as he is in defending the inside. He has excellent athletic ability and is very versatile, but compared to Joe Johnson, he is indeed more suitable for defending Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong took the ball from the wing position, turned around and put the ball down vertically with both hands, almost touching the ground.

All of a sudden, Tang Wenlong took a step forward, dribbling the ball on the right side and punching Josh. His ability to dribble directly and rushing like this ranks first in the entire NBA, especially the first step of the combination of man and ball, which is as fast as lightning.

Josh Smith was very focused, but when he was really defending, the difficulty was so many times higher.

Tang Wenlong took advantage of half of his body and walked to the baseline to dribble. Josh opened his arms and exerted physical confrontation on Tang Wenlong, blocking Tang Wenlong's way to attack the basket.

Tang Wenlong took three steps, then suddenly turned around and broke through to the left, as fast as a spinning top.

Josh was suddenly in a disadvantageous situation on the defensive end. After being turned around by Tang Wenlong, the defensive angle was very bad. He was forced to take a step back and exchanged space for a more favorable defensive position.

However, Tang Wenlong's ability to read and defend is very strong. This time, he suddenly stopped, and it was useless to retreat, and he jumped up and shot directly.

The body floated backward without any force, and there was a sharp backlash. After the basketball was shot, it fell steadily into the basket, splashing white net flowers.

With a mid-range hit in the opening game, fans in the Wachovia Center raised their hands in celebration of the successful attack.

Tang Wenlong went back to the defense along the sideline, Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi looked at him with a smile, he stretched out his big hand, and two crystal white jade hands were stretched out there, and he walked over and high-fived with the two of them , causing Fang Chuxia and Yang Anqi to giggle non-stop.

Josh saw the scene of Tang Wenlong interacting with the girl on the sidelines, his eyes spit fire, he didn't take them seriously!
The Eagles attack and opened up space for Teague and Marvin to make pick-and-rolls. Marvin Williams made 39% of his three-pointers this season, the highest season in his career so far. He and the guards play pick-and-rolls At that time, the effect was outstanding. Marvin was able to hit the rim with his superhuman physical fitness, and he was also able to retreat to the three-point line with his outstanding touch. The victory over the Celtics was also thanks to his role as a substitute The explosion at the table.

This pick-and-roll immediately blocked Lowry, Teague faced David West directly, dribbled the ball and ran wildly, and instantly opened the distance from the pick-and-roller Marvin.

Lowry, who was catching up from behind, did not give up chasing, and formed a pincer attack on Teague with West. , ready to go down in Marvin's hand.

Marvin Williams got the basketball, took a dribble, grabbed the basketball with one hand and flew up, smashing Huashan hard and hitting the 76ers' basket.

"boom!"

The roar was transmitted to every corner of the arena, and the beast-like physical fitness was undoubtedly revealed...
