Chapter 254 Repression and Anxiety

Young teams, for the dream of the championship, always do their best.

The Thunder are very aggressive, especially after the start of the game, they quarreled with the 76ers. Every time Tang Wenlong held the ball, Safolosha would stick it up like a candy, and sometimes pick and roll. In the end, Durant and Ibaka will stick close to Tang Wenlong.

After the first timeout, Tang Wenlong asked for the ball from a low position, and Safrosaka played very hard.

Tang Wenlong turned around nimbly and slipped to the baseline. Gasol, who was in a high position, threw a lob. Tang Wenlong received the pass near the basket. Out of place!
Ibaka rushed to help defend, Tang Wenlong flew up with one step, raised the basketball with one hand and slammed it down, the speed was too fast.

Immediately there was a tsunami of cheers at the scene, and a dunk directly ignited the passion of the fans. Some fans held up a sign with black characters on a white background, which said Tang Wenlong's title of "MVP Grand Slam". Switching to the enthusiastic fans on the sidelines, it was only then that the audience remembered that Tang Wenlong was not only the MVP of the regular season, but also the MVP of the Orlando All-Stars.

At 4 minutes and 19 seconds, Tang Wenlong singled out Durant from the flank.

Because the 24 seconds were exhausted and only the last 10 seconds were left, Tang Wenlong didn't look for pick-and-rolls and tactics, and directly used the simplest and rudest way to solve the problem.

Everyone opened up the space, and Lei Ting thought about whether to double-team.

Tang Wenlong stood up with three threats. After holding the ball with both hands, he suddenly dribbled the ball to the right, "slapped" the basketball and slapped it on the floor, and then Tang Wenlong followed with a big stride. He leaned over and accelerated like a cheetah. Durant's center of gravity changed. Too slow, although the lateral speed is fast, it still can't keep up with Tang Wenlong's breakthrough.

Ibaka came like a shadow. Tang Wenlong observed the situation on the field and had already noticed Ibaka who was about to move.

He stopped abruptly, kicked his foot on the floor, exerted force on the tip of his right toe, and his body suddenly rose into the air, with a difficult backward jumper, and even a slight drift.

"Impossible to go in!" Durant jumped up and stretched out his hand to interfere. He could only cover Tang Wenlong's eyes, thinking that this kind of shooting, even when he was training with no defense, his shooting percentage was only [-]% at most. Once there was interference If so, the probability of investing is extremely small.

"Shh!"

The basketball rubbed against the inner edge of the rim and entered the net, rolling up beautiful white net flowers.

For the 10th point, Tang Wenlong's expression is very calm. Fans who like him love the offense of shooting just now. One step ahead of Durant. Before the arrival of Ibaka's help defense, he immediately stopped and turned around for a jumper. In terms of the smoothness of technical movements Sex and viewing, no worse than Kobe, Hill and others.

Subsequently, the Thunder replaced James Harden, and all three young players appeared.

At the end of the first quarter, Tang Wenlong scored another 13 points. The Thunder still couldn't find a strategy to defend him, so they messed up their line. They could only limit Tang Wenlong by constantly rotating defenses. But the problem is, once they are misplaced or exposed space , Tang Wenlong will make a move. Although the movement is very difficult, it is still outrageously accurate.

"Tang Wenlong doesn't have any difficulties now, and he has to create difficulties to get ahead. Thunder has nothing to do." Director Zhang laughed, and then said with expectation: "I am looking forward to seeing the men and women of the London Olympics at the end of July." I don’t know how our national team with Tang Wenlong will compare with some strong teams in the world.”

Tang Wenlong rested at the beginning of the second quarter, which is also his regular rest time.

Lowry plays the leading role on the court, and the inside offense is centered on David West, supplemented by three substitutes, Speights, Meeks and Butler, because he has to defend the sharp offensive James Harden, so Collins put Butler in the second team in a targeted manner. His sole purpose in playing was to strangle Harden.

"James Harden's state is really mediocre, maybe he was really affected by rumors." Tang Wenlong said to Iguodala.

Iguodala took a sip of his drink, looked up with deep forehead lines, and wiped his sweat with his big hands, "Who knows, but during the finals, you shouldn't be distracted. After the finals, you can do whatever you want." How to do it. His offensive strength is okay, but he also needs the ball. The Thunder almost divided up the ball with Kevin and Russell, so he can only be wronged in the second team."

Tang Wenlong recalled the time of the rookie game, when Harden's performance impressed him deeply. This is a big beard full of imagination, who looks like Baron Davis, but actually walks in a technical style. The route, especially the step-back jumper after a crotch dribble, is very skillful and stable.

But fortunately, Harden is the opponent's man now, and the Thunder's coach and the Thunder's uniform team are the ones who have a headache.

In the 8th minute, Tang Wenlong replaced Meeks.

Meeks didn't feel good today. He made 3 of 0 shots from the outside and had 1 turnover. The Thunder were able to bite the score all the time, 35 to 33, and the 76ers only led by 2 points.

At this time, Lowry stood up and played. First, he received a ball from Tang Wenlong from the outside and hit a three-pointer. Then he made a one-stop layup in the transition attack, scoring five points in a row, and established a 76-point lead for the 7ers.

The Thunder hurriedly called a timeout, and Tang Wenlong ran over with a smile and side-kicked Lowry, applauding his teammates for their wonderful performance.

Then after a timeout, Durant hit a mid-range shot to stabilize the morale of the 76ers. When Tang Wenlong scored Lowry again, the Thunder noticed Lowry's defense, and the small steel guns had no absolute chance to make a move.

Before the end of halftime, Tang Wenlong swayed Safrosa from the low post, and then made a foul against Safrosa. This was the third personal foul of Safrosa in this game.

Safrosa shook his head and walked off the field, he had done his best.

Fortunately, the Thunder did not lack outside lines. Taking advantage of this time, Brooks put Harden back on the court and seized the last less than 1 minute.

54 to 47, the 76ers led by 7 points into the second half.

In the third quarter, Tang Wenlong scored 10 points, and his personal score went up to 30. At this time, the 76ers led by 13 points at the highest point, and the Thunder slowly recovered a few points.

Durant didn't rest, and hit two consecutive goals in the fourth quarter, chasing the score for the Thunder to only 5 points.

Collins was also calm, and instead of substituting Tang Wenlong, he just called a short timeout to interrupt the thunder that seemed to be gaining momentum...
