Chapter 225 Bad Premonition

The Eagles lost a game, but the media watching the aging Eagles has used various data to prove that the probability of the Eagles advancing this round is less than [-]%.

The Eagles are very angry. Although they have stopped in the second round of the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, they can't be looked down upon like this, can they?It's better to just say that it was swept away.

But in fact, after the first game, the Eagles already knew the gap between the two teams in their hearts, especially because of Horford's injury, the inside line has now become an absolute loophole, not just about rebounds and low positions. Offense, and the most deadly box defense.

The 76ers are different from the Celtics. The 76ers are a well-known youth guard in the league. They have raised a group of young and energetic players, such as Lowry, Lewis, Tang Wenlong, and Iguodala. As an assaulter, the overall ability to attack the inside ranks in the top five in the league.

There has also been a slight change in mentality.

In the G2 game, the generals of the Eagles looked solemn. When the MVP banner was hung in the Wachovia Center Arena, and when Tang Wenlong was awarded the MVP blessing like a tsunami, his expression was even worse.

"Made, it's the same as the concert." Joe Johnson complained in his heart, looking at Tang Wenlong who was pretending to be aggressive with his arms raised, he really wanted to go up and fight with him.

Tang Wenlong felt the cohesion and centripetal force of Philadelphia. He was the last one to play in the grand finale, and the audience rang out the voice of MVP, which lasted for a long time.

After 10 minutes, the preparation ceremony of both sides ended, leaving the starting players on the field.

The referee was an old man with dark skin. He walked to the center line and glanced at the number of people on the field. He held an orange basketball with one hand in his right hand and put the whistle in his left hand to his mouth.

The starting players of the 76ers and the Eagles were all in position. Tang Wenlong and Joe Johnson stood opposite each other.

"Beep~" A whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown into the air.

Gasol and Josh-Smith jumped the ball. This time, Josh was suspected of rushing to shoot the jump ball. It was obviously more than double the speed of Gasol and flew into the sky, and then took the lead in shooting the basketball.

The basketball is controlled by Jeff Teague and slowly advances through the half court.

Teague is a point guard trained by the Eagles. He entered the NBA through the draft in 09 and is not yet 24 years old.His speed is very fast, his ability to handle the ball is also very good, he has the ability to shoot three-pointers and throws, and is good at changing directions while running. Apart from not being strong enough, he is almost the most standard starting point guard in the NBA.

This is Jeff Teague's third season. In the first two seasons, he played as a backup point guard. This season he started as a starting point guard. His average data rose to 12.6 points and 4.9 assists per game. Compared with the 76ers Lowry averaged 11.4 points and 5.1 assists per game, and the statistics are not much different.

At this moment, Lowry and Teague were facing each other, and the two began to entangle each other after halftime. Teague beckoned for Marvin Williams' pick-and-roll, sticking to the ball and breaking through inside.

"He's very fast, like a little whirlwind." On the 76ers' bench, coach Bob admired Teague's style of player, just like Lou Williams.

Tang Wenlong immediately abandoned Joe Johnson and quietly came to help defend Teague. At the same time, Gasol also made up for the inside, forming a pincer attack on the ball handler.

Teague took a look, good guy, there are 76ers players in all directions!

He was so scared that he almost sat down on the ground. He dribbled the ball and turned his head to look, and threw the ball to Marvin Williams on the outside. Marvin was standing a little outside, half a step away from the three-point line. The distance, but fortunately no one is defending.

He took off for a three-pointer, the direction of the basketball deviated, hit the basket and hit the backboard, and bounced out.

Jason Collins scolded Nima, and a group of strong men appeared around him. The young Iguodala rushed over like a flying roc bird, and took the rebound in the air.

Turn around, it's a fast attack!
This happened almost instantly. The moment Iguodala grabbed the rebound and turned around to dribble, Tang Wenlong had already sprinted out, and quickly surpassed the dazed Joe Johnson and others with his powerful explosive power.

The outermost Marvin was in the defensive position, and Iguodala threw a long pass, and Tang Wenlong caught the ball and went straight into the three-point line.

At this time, the rest of the Eagles also came back to defend. Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball and made a crotch movement, and immediately stopped on the spot. He turned his head and looked at the half court, as if he was waiting for his teammates to come over and fight together.

Ma Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and then suddenly saw Tang Wenlong's rapid change of direction, the movement was so fast that it was obviously premeditated.

"It's too insidious!" Marvin Williams' eyes were wide open, and he didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity. He watched Tang Wenlong slip past like a loach, passed the homicide and went inside.

"Bang!"

Tang Wenlong also made a forward-stretching movement in the air, holding the ball with both hands and dunking flat, walking in the air like putting a basket.

Ma Wen jumped up and found that even if he had a [-] cm wingspan, he still couldn't block Tang Wenlong's dunk, and he was helpless.

2-0, Tang Wenlong ignited the arena with a wonderful dunk at the beginning of the game. The fans raised their hands high and began to cheer "MVP" again.

The Eagles attacked, Joe Johnson wanted to replace Tang Wenlong with a jumper, but missed.

The rebound was taken by Lowry. Lowry dribbled the ball across half court, broke through Teague and hit the Eagles basket, but he didn't want Collins to stop in advance. As soon as he touched it, he fell to the ground and flew out exaggeratedly like being hit by a sports car. .

The referee blew the whistle subconsciously, glanced blankly, and called Lowry for an offensive foul.

Lowry, who also fell down, jumped angrily, "Fuck, this guy is obviously a flop, how could I hit him so far, that's a 2-meter big center, not the main force of the kindergarten!"

Lowry really wanted to find the referee's theory, but the Eagles served the ball very fast, and immediately Teague dribbled the ball towards the 76ers halfcourt. Lowry had no time to communicate, so he could only solve Teague's offense first.

Teague and Josh Smith’s elbow pick-and-roll was given to Joe Johnson, who ran out of the screen without the ball. Tang Wenlong did not lose his position in defense. Josh, Josh hit the 76ers basket, confronted Gasol in the air, and made a layup. 2 to 2.

The 76ers attacked. Iguodala received the ball and broke through. After rushing into the Eagles penalty area, he attracted a lot of defense. He crossed to Tang Wenlong who moved to the 45-degree position of the three-point line. -Smith flew out. He shot too accurately. As long as he made a fake shot from the outside, the opponent was usually easy to be pointed.

After the point fly, Tang Wenlong quickly dribbled the ball to the inside to kill, and the speed was frighteningly fast without anyone hindering him.

The Eagles turned their heads, and Tang Wenlong made an emergency stop at the free throw line to make a jump shot. With no one guarding in front and no interference behind him, he steadily made a free throw-like shot. 4 to 2.

The Eagles attacked, Josh missed a jumper, and the rebound was grabbed by Gasol.

Lowry gave the ball to Gasol in the frontcourt. Gasol passed the ball from a high position to cover Tang Wenlong. Tang Wenlong dribbled the ball and pretended to break through to the inside. His left and right feet stepped into the three-point line at the same time, and then suddenly exerted force with his right foot. , took a big step out of the three-point line, his body had an obvious receding range, and his shot point was very high.

Josh, who arrived later, jumped up decisively, with his long arms stretched out, and his big hands opened, as if covering Tang Wenlong's eyes.

"It's too difficult!" Yang Jian shouted.

"Shh!"

The basketball went into the net, and Tang Wenlong took all of the 76ers' 7-pointers in the opening game.

Off the court, Eagles coach Larry's eyelids twitched, as if something bad was about to happen.
