Chapter 223
"As expected of the player who was selected as the No. 76 player, this physical fitness is so amazing!" Director Su was full of praise. He has always been straightforward and impartial, even though the whole of China is now supporting the [-]ers.

Larry Drew thinks very clearly that the 76ers have a balanced offense and defense. The only hope for the Eagles to win is to rely on impact. Both Josh Smith and Marvin Williams are the key to this round of the series. Being able to destroy the 76ers' inside chemistry, the Eagles will have the best chance.

On the other side, Collins arranged an inside attack tactic. Whether it was Marc Gasol or David West, they would have a clear advantage against the old-fashioned Jason Collins.

The coaches of the two teams each have various ideas and told the players all the tactical concepts, but when they are on the court, there will always be some changes and differences in execution.

For example, the first one was scored by Tang Wenlong with his own ability, and then he turned around and made an emergency stop for a jump shot, which was full of applause.

When the 76ers attacked in the second round, Lowry didn't give any more points to Tang Wenlong. After opening his position, he moved to 45 degrees, and the high lob was given to the low post Gasol.

Gasol shook his shoulders, raised the ball high with one hand and made a fake turn around.

Jason Collins claims to be seven feet tall (2 meters), but it is said that his real height is no more than 13 meters. He even admitted in another interview that in order to make himself look more like a Center forward, he used to put several insoles in his shoes and wear several pairs of socks.At this moment, compared with the 2-meter Marc Gasol, the gap is very obvious.

Gasol held his breath, his thighs exploded with strength, and he leaned back like a brown bear.

"boom!"

Collins's arms went numb for a while, and he let out a muffled grunt. His body's center of gravity was floating, and his body unconsciously made a backward movement, but his feet stood still, which actually prevented Gasol's hard chisel.

"Ha!" Collins yelled, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he was arrogant and unseemly.

At this moment, Gasol flicked his wrist like a magic trick, and the basketball disappeared from his hands. He turned around like a giant mountain, and the turning speed was extremely fast!

This is a breakthrough movement of turning back and slipping the bottom line.

Gasol's low-post turn ability has always been very strong, and this turn was even more unexpected. Collins lost his position all of a sudden, watching Gasol take two steps after a turn, and then dunk with both hands under the basket.

4 to 2, the 76ers lead by 2 points.

Responding to Marvin's dunk just now, Gasol acted like a leader, and the Wachovia Center Arena suddenly boiled, and the fans chanted Mark's name.

The Eagles attack, Teague points to Marvin after the pick-and-roll, and the 76ers quickly rotate the defense. Tang Wenlong moves up and lets go of the defensive Joe Johnson. Marvin has no chance to hit the basket or make a long three-pointer. , At this time, the 76ers completed the replacement, Iguodala threw himself out to defend Joe Johnson, Tang Wenlong let go of Marvin to defend the air-cut Josh, and the Eagles lost the opportunity to play tactics.

Joe Johnson singled out Iguodala on the left side. After dribbling the ball under his crotch, he changed direction and walked in the middle. The mid-range emergency stop jumper was interfered and the ball missed.

"This is not a good choice. Iguodala is the top four defenders in the league this year, and the top three are all inside players." Su Qun said with a smile.

The 76ers attacked, and Iguodala missed a high-arc shot from the right, and the rebound was knocked out of the baseline by Gasol.

Teague, with his slender legs, skillfully controlled the ball across the half court. He stretched out his right hand to direct. The Eagles' running tactics were very active. The basketball was given to Josh Smith. After the ball was screened, Smith misplaced David West.

But in fact, in normal games, the two of them are mostly used as the fourth position, and there is no wrong position. It is just that Josh Smith has an obvious advantage in moving speed when facing the ordinary fourth position.

This time, he started dribbling to break to the left, and ended the attack with a one-handed throw in the middle. The basketball bounced high on the rim, and then fell straight into the rim. 4 to 4.

The 76ers attack, and Iguodala and Gasol make a pick-and-roll offense, hit the ground and pass the ball to Gasol, and Gasol attracts double-teams and then transfers a wide range to Tang Wenlong, who is on the weak side without the ball, shrinking the defense. The Eagles jumped out again, Tang Wenlong raised the ball and swayed it, avoiding Joe Johnson's block, and after taking a step sideways, he shot calmly and hit a three-pointer. 7 to 4.

The offensive efficiency of the two teams was very high in the opening game. Tang Wenlong made the three-pointer, squatting halfway, with his arms raised high and not falling down.

The Eagles are good at outside shooting. Joe Johnson is relatively accurate, with a shooting percentage of 38.8% this season, and Teague is around 35%. Only Josh Smith, this guy has the most outside shots in the Eagles There are many, but the shooting percentage is very average. This season, it is only 25.7%. Last season, it was 33%.

So for Josh's defensive strategy, the 76ers are the same as the Celtics in the previous round, preventing penetration and not preventing shots.

Ten minutes later, the two teams entered the normal lineup rotation time. Butler replaced Tang Wenlong, Hawes replaced Marc Gasol, and Luiz replaced Lowry.

Entering the second round, Collins re-activated Hawes. After all, the strength of the Eagles' center position was severely damaged, and Hawes is the kind of center who can still attack. It is best to use it as a substitute to attack. .

The scores of the two teams in the first quarter were similar, and the 76ers led by 27 points with a slight advantage of 24 to 3.

When it came to the second quarter, the 76ers came off the bench, and Louis showed his super-six demeanor, hitting consecutive mid-range drift jumpers, and directly hit the Eagles to apply for a timeout.

The Hawks' backup point guard is Pargo, while Hinrich is a shooting guard. Louis is not tall, but his speed is extremely fast. In addition, he feels hot today, and Pargo can't defend at all.

The point difference was stretched to 10 points by the bench, and calling a timeout didn't have much effect, forcing Coach Larry to replace the main players in advance to stabilize the situation on the court.

Collins staggered the appearance of Iguodala and Tang Wenlong. In the second half of the second quarter, Tang Wenlong was given time to attack independently. Tang Wenlong and Lewis began to attack the weak inside of the Eagles in turn, which soon caused Jason Collins' third foul. , Josh - Smith also backed two fouls.

At the end of the half, the 76ers led 59 to 48 by 11 points. Louis scored a half-time high of 15 points and felt hot.

In the second half, the 76ers seized the Eagles' internal problems and attacked, not only the sudden outside attack, but also the low-post attack of the inside players. Soon, the Eagles were forced to shrink the defense line, and a large number of shooting opportunities appeared from the outside.

The 76ers gave up the mid-range, and 90.00% of their offenses were either inside or shooting three-pointers from outside the three-point line.

The Celtics, who were sitting in front of the TV watching the game, were depressed. They actually wanted to do the same, but they lacked players who could attack aggressively and attack from the low post. They only relied on mutual cooperation to pass and cut, and it was useless against the Eagles. Cheap.For the first time, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge began to think deeply. Is it true that the Celtics have no hope of winning the championship? Should the Celtics reshuffle the cards and enter the era of reconstruction?
At the end of the game, the 76ers beat the Eagles 119 to 101 at home. Tang Wenlong scored a game-high 28 points. Louis scored 5 points in the second half and scored 20 points. The 76ers scored the third highest. Gasol scored 17 points in the game, and a total of 7 players from the team scored in double figures. The statistics look more like they exploded the Eagles with more points.
