Chapter 216 Battle against the Knicks ([-])
The arena in Philadelphia is like boiling water, so hot that people can't control themselves.

"duo~"

A whistle sounded, and referee Crawford blew the first mandatory timeout of the first quarter, which counted as a timeout for the 76ers for the home team, and players from both sides walked off the field.

"Good job, guys!" Collins and Bob and a bunch of 76ers' coaches stood up and gave high fives to the disciples.

Tang Wenlong walked to the bench while high-fiving the coaches and teammates, and then sat down. A staff behind him handed him energy drinks. He raised his head and looked at the big screen above the arena.

76人15比8领先着7分，尼克斯攻防两端都明显差了76人一头。

"We did a good job of restricting Anthony. The Knicks seem to be strong offensively. In fact, their scoring ability is limited. It is impossible to defeat us with Stoudemire alone." Collins took out the tactical board and shouted to his disciples They spoke, on the one hand to boost the morale of the players, and on the other hand to build stronger self-confidence.

The timeout ended and the two sides returned to the court. Woodson had no intention of changing the formation. The two played two rounds of offense without scoring.

In the third wave of positional battles when the 76ers came back from a suspension, Tang Wenlong wanted the ball.

The few times he asked for the ball personally in this game, Lowry gave him the ball directly after seeing it, and Tang Wenlong stepped on a position one step outside the three-point line to make a three-point threat.

Shooting threats, passing threats, breakthrough threats, the defensive Shumpert is ready.

Tang Wenlong looked directly at Shumpert. They were all young people of about the same age. Those who could enter the NBA meant that they were talented basketball players. Who would win?

Shumpert wasn't afraid at all, the only thing he had to consider was how to defend against Tang Wenlong's attack.

"Crack!" Tang Wenlong took a tentative step and suddenly dribbled the ball in the opposite direction and slapped it. First, he controlled the ball with his left hand, and his posture was wide open and closed.

After the dribble is large, even a fake move may become a real breakthrough.

Shumpert didn't dare to gamble, so he could only move his center of gravity cautiously. Tang Wenlong quickly returned the ball to his right hand with one crotch, and turned his shoulder as if to change direction.

"It's not that simple!" Shumpert shouted angrily in his heart, and his good physical fitness allowed him to reverse back to the correct defensive posture in an instant.

Tang Wenlong's converging movements suddenly paused, and there was a feeling of stillness when the whole person broke through to the right!

"Sure enough, there is still a change of direction!" Shumpert was amazed, but Tang Wenlong's fake movements were too many, and he already had a sense of powerlessness that his body was out of control.

The corners of Tang Wenlong's mouth rose slightly, revealing a playful expression. He dribbled the ball horizontally with his wrist around the pole, and he followed the ball, and flew out with a "swish", but it was still a strong thrust to the right!

It took a long time to say it, but it was just a matter of a moment. The audience blinked and Tang Wenlong passed Shumpert as if he was crossing the road.

At the mid-range free throw line, Tang Wenlong leaned forward and made an emergency stop for a jumper and made a hit. 17 to 8, this is Tang Wenlong's 7th point in this game, and the time has just passed half of the first quarter.

"The unstoppable Tang Wenlong, he made three of three shots in this game, and his efficiency is amazing." Barkley laughed and criticized the Knicks' defense unceremoniously: "Except for Tang Wenlong who will be double-teamed when Tang Wenlong is on the back. There is no help defense when the frame is attacking, with such intensity, Tang Wenlong can score 30 points in halftime."

Smith did not refute or speak. What Barkley said is true. Tang Wenlong is recognized as a shooting expert. If he really has a good shooting touch, the game will be directly GG. You know, he made 9 three-pointers in the half. man.

The authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear. Sometimes the commentator sees the problem more thoroughly than the coach.

Woodson didn't understand. He knew that the Knicks' defense was not good, and he was prepared to rely on offense to get a first-line chance of victory. However, when he met Iguodala and Tang Wenlong's defensive lineup on the flanks, Anthony played extremely painfully. So far, all three mid-range shots have missed.

The Knicks attacked again, Anthony attracted double-teams and gave it to Davis on the outside, Davis simply shot a three-pointer!

Hit! 17 to 11.

This three-pointer made Woodson's heart drop slightly. Davis was not a qualified three-pointer in his career. This shot was a bit floating, but fortunately he made it in the end.

After 3 minutes, West cut off the ball when Stoudemire rushed inside, and the basketball hit Stoudemire's leg and bounced out of the baseline.

When the ball is dead, the game enters the second mandatory timeout.

Tang Wenlong was very active during this period, he made an emergency stop to score from mid-range, scored a layup after breaking through, and made a long-range jumper with a turn and step back. He scored 6 points in a row, feeling hot to the touch.

After the timeout, the two teams performed a lineup rotation at the same time. The Knicks replaced Stoudemire, Chandler, and Davis with JR-Smith, Steve Novak and Mike Bibby. The 76ers replaced Gasol and Lowry with Hawes and Lou Williams.

Whiteside's eyes dimmed on the bench, and the coach chose to let the more experienced Hawes play, even though he has played well in recent times.

The Knicks chose a purely offensive lineup. Anthony moved to the fourth position. Novak, the tallest player on the field, is only 2 meters tall, and basically can't grab rebounds at all. He only has the ability to accurately spot three-pointers. .

"This is a desperate lineup!" Director Zhang, the host of CCTV5, shouted.

Novak has the longest average playing time of his career in the Knicks this season. He averaged 18.9 points per game, contributed 8.8 points, and made 47.2 percent of his three-pointers, but averaged only 1.9 rebounds per game. With an average of 0.3 steals and 0.1 blocks per game, the extreme gap between the offensive and defensive ends, the double-edged sword function has been magnified to the extreme.

The 76ers came back from a timeout for the first attack. Tang Wenlong and Iguodala looked at each other and nodded.

Louis scored the ball to Iguodala to hold the ball, Tang Wenlong walked to the left corner to ambush, Hawes and Iguodala played a pick-and-roll attack.

The Knicks switched defenses a bit slower, and Iguodala dribbled the ball to face Novak, and everyone pulled away to let the two single out.

Iguodala dribbled the ball under his crotch and crossed to break through the middle. He leaned against Novak sideways. After two confrontations, he squeezed the 28-meter inside line and jumped into the basket with one step. , One-handed frame dunk. 18 to 76, the 10ers lead to [-] points.

The Knicks attacked, Anthony took the ball in the low post, clapped his hands together, and the four Knicks fell outside the three-point line. This tactic is a bit like the one big and four small that Magic Van Gundy is best at.

Iguodala defended, Anthony slammed his back twice with "bang" and "bang", no one came to double-team.

Anthony turned over for a jumper, Iguodala interfered with the shot, and the basketball missed the basket.

The rebound was grabbed by Tang Wenlong, who shrank into the paint with one hand. The biggest problem in the Knicks' offense was that Anthony couldn't beat Iguodala alone!
