Chapter 234 Miami Big Three (final)

Last summer, when Tang Wenlong and Anthony were training, they asked questions about their heads-up ability.

"If there is no double-team and defense, it is difficult to defend you one-on-one, because you rely more on the touch, especially the back when you rely on the strength of the waist and abdomen during the jump shot, which is really good." Anthony said evaluate.

"Then what if I fight James one-on-one? He is the most terrifying outside line in history. No one can be as strong and powerful as him, and he has speed and bounce, and even his agility and responsiveness are not bad. I think When I played this year, it was very painful to beat him." Tang Wenlong said with a sigh.

"This is indeed a very troublesome thing. As you said, you once played against Andre, and the one-on-one defense suffocated you." Anthony spread his hands and said, "Only strong self-confidence can play God-like performance, at critical moments, I always believe in my own touch, just like I think I will definitely make the shot."

"But if you look at the heads-up level, your turn, catch the ball and step back is very difficult to defend, and because you still have a fallback, you can rank among the top five in the league."

Tang Wenlong said with a smile: "In the playoffs next year, you and LeBron James will be my biggest competitors. I haven't played against LeBron much, and I don't know his habits."

Anthony smiled and said: "Coach Doug (Collins) will definitely not let you defend James. If you really meet him, the whole world will know that you can't defend against penetration. But LeBron's mid-range is actually quite accurate. Yes, if you 76ers have a good level of defense, don't stay too far away, and be careful of being shot to death."

Anyone who can be a superstar has a very high basketball IQ. When Tang Wenlong was dribbling the ball, he suddenly remembered what Anthony had said to him. Sure enough, even if his defense has improved a lot, the head coach who defends James will still be handed over to Ego Darla, and the closer to the critical moment, the less he dared to let go of James to shoot.

Wachovia Center was buzzing, and the audience sent whistles one after another, just like watching two warriors fight in an ancient Roman arena.

"Clap clap clap."

The basketball bounced back and forth between the fingertips of the controller and the floor. Tang Wenlong took the ball and moved it back and forth a few times, and his shoulders began to move irregularly.

The halftime was all opened, and the Heat didn't dare to double-team at this most critical moment.

Tang Wenlong suddenly exploded, took a big stride with his right foot, sent the ball to the right and made a fake move to pretend to break through, then changed direction in front of his body instantly, switched his right hand to his left to control the ball, took a small step with his left foot to the left, and then followed with his right foot Keep up with the standard cross-stepping action.

"Bang!" The steel-like bodies of the two confronted each other, and Tang Wenlong felt as if he had hit a big mountain.

He controlled the ball with his left hand and pulled it back. He stepped out with his right foot as the axis to rotate half of his body, and quickly turned around flexibly. After the basketball rebounded on the ground, it was caught by Tang Wenlong's right hand, and it turned into a breakthrough to the right.

After running to the bottom line in two steps, Tang Wenlong took a big step to the right, turned around and fell back to shoot a jumper.

James followed closely, but even with his terrifying body at this moment, he couldn't block Tang Wenlong, so he could only open his palm vigorously to make the greatest interference.

"Shh!"

The person landed, the ball pierced the net, Tang Wenlong lost his balance and sat on the ground, but his movements were unrestrained.

"A crucial goal!" Barkley yelled.

76人98比95领先3分，这段时间唐文龙拿到了7分，整个末节已经拿到了10分，表现地无可挑剔。

Spoelstra did not call a timeout again, and the time entered the last 1 minute and 30 seconds. For the Heat, there is still enough time and opportunity to organize the offense.

James beat Iguodala at the top of the arc, and he tried his best!

"Bang!" The two confronted and approached the basket. James threw the ball with one hand. His posture looked a bit irregular, but he just avoided the block of David West who was assisting the defense. cover.

The basketball hit the neck of the basket and bounced, and James, who had squeezed out the space, followed up. He jumped up strongly from the basket to make a tip, and pointed the basketball into the basket.

The Heat's bench was boiling, and a professional towel-throwing player stood up.

Lowry controlled the ball for halftime, and there was one minute left in the time. After running, Tang Wenlong ran to the position near the elbow area and asked for the ball with his back. Lowry passed it to Tang Wenlong to single out James.

When the ball is caught, there are 50 seconds remaining on the clock.

After catching the ball, Tang Wenlong turned around, grabbed the basketball with both hands and put it on the ground. He stood in a stalemate for two seconds, then suddenly took a step with the ball, feinted and then withdrew from outside the three-point line to shoot a straight-arm jumper!

"Impossible to enter!" James roared in his heart, and he was already jumping with all his strength to block the block.

Judging from the camera, James' defense was perfect this time, it was a perfect personal defense, while Tang Wenlong's shooting looked very reluctant, not a particularly stable shooting posture.

However, the basketball spins in the air and falls into the rim with impossibly precise precision.

"Boom!" The Wachovia Center Arena erupted from silence to eruption in an instant!

101 to 97, amazing how he did it!The audience was going crazy, Tang Wenlong's performance of scoring consecutive points at the last moment was so enjoyable, it was almost like an epic performance according to the script.

The Heat asked for a timeout, and Tang Wenlong walked off the court to accept the worship of the audience.

Collins and Coach Bob were also speechless about Tang Wenlong's performance. At the critical moment, the star was still reliable. It seemed that under the illumination of the halo, all complicated tactics became simple and effective.

With only the last 43.9 seconds left, the pressure is all on the Heat.

Back from the timeout, there was an earth-shattering cry of "defense and defense". James served from the sideline and gave Wade and Bosh a pick-and-roll. Running in with an off-ball screen, Wade saw that Tang Wenlong was defending impenetrably, so he sent a covert shot to James.

James dribbled hard to squeeze Iguodala away and made a layup, but missed.

The hoop huddles, the basketball falls across the bridge and into the other side. Haslem is in a better position, but Gasol's height and wingspan have the advantage, and the two take off at the same time, reaching for the ball.

"Beep~" The whistle sounded, the basketball flew out of the sideline, and the line referee spread his hands, indicating that he didn't see who touched it.

The audience was so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out. The game was interrupted. The referee went to the technical stage to watch and start the replay.

"Backball!" The referee put down his earphones, pointed forward with both hands, and made a penalty.

The Heat players fell into an abyss, their bodies icy cold.

At 27.8 seconds, the 76ers took the backcourt ball, Tang Wenlong caught the basketball, the Heat fouled him, and Tang Wenlong walked to the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, and the 76ers almost sealed the victory 103 to 97.

Then James gave the ball to Chalmers and missed a three-pointer. Fortunately, Bosh grabbed the offensive rebound. Bosh passed back to James for a three-pointer, but still missed. De immediately fouled.

With the last 7.6 seconds left in the time, the Heat were completely hopeless.

Afterwards, Iguodala made two free throws. Wade grabbed the rebound and advanced to the frontcourt. Facing the interference of Tang Wenlong, he dodged a three-pointer in the air, and Sanbu missed the baseline...

The red light came on and the game was over.
