Chapter 253 Philadelphia Beloved
But in any case, there is no doubt that Tang Wenlong has become a symbol of Philadelphia.

In the second season of his career, Tang Wenlong became the favorite of Philadelphia.People who like him don't care about his nationality or skin color, but only his handsomeness like splashing ink on the basketball court, and his spirituality like a star descending into the world.Fashionable streets, crowded shopping malls, billboards of Tang Wenlong can be seen everywhere, and Philadelphia fans wearing the No. 1 jersey can be seen everywhere.

With 48 points and a home victory over the Thunder, the Phillies are only three games away from winning the championship trophy again, which seems within reach.

The poured love turned into a heart full of love, and the Philadelphians themselves couldn't tell whether they fell in love with the Philadelphia 76ers because they fell in love with Tang Wenlong, or because they fell in love with the Philadelphia 76ers and fell in love with Tang Wenlong.

It’s just that elements related to Tang Wenlong, such as giant dragon, oriental, and Chinese cuisine, quickly became popular in this city, and spread to the surrounding areas at a constant speed. When you like someone, You will unconsciously want to know everything about him.

The happiest ones are the merchants who have signed endorsement contracts with Tang Wenlong. The better Tang Wenlong performs, the more valuable the commercial endorsements they sign will be, especially for sports-related brands, such as Nike.Some internally questioned whether it was worth signing Tang Wenlong with the same contract as Durant. Now it seems that it should not be too cost-effective. Tang Wenlong's worth is close to that of James, Kobe and other veteran balloon stars.

On the evening of the 15th, the Philadelphia 76ers played the second game of the Finals at home.

Tickets at the Wachovia Center Arena have become a real treasure that is hard to buy. A large number of fans have no tickets and can only stop outside the arena. Gathered in bars, restaurants, and themed merchandise stores around the arena. Fans who came to support.When the broadcast camera scanned over, it turned out to be a vast expanse of black.

What's interesting is that the fans inside the arena are all wearing the uniformly issued championship white T-shirts.

Some people say that the current 76ers are like the Spurs. They are meticulous in their tactics, and even the styles of the jerseys are almost the same. One black and one white, it seems impermanent.

Before the start of the game, the camera followed Tang Wenlong, and then switched back and forth between Durant, Westbrook, Iguodala and other stars.

After the simple appearance ceremony, the starters of the two teams played.

Tang Wenlong twisted all the joints of his body, and then exchanged hands with Whiteside on the bench to celebrate, a very simple way of cheering on the street.Then Louis, who had just come back, ran up and down, and had a side collision with Tang Wenlong passionately.

Tang Wenlong rubbed his hands together, ran to the center line and stood up, pressing his left leg and right leg.

"Brother Wenlong, come on!" Pingping called Huan, making trumpet shapes with his hands. Unfortunately, the sound was too noisy. His decibel range was only about five meters away, and Tang Wenlong on the field couldn't hear it at all.

In the middle circle, Gasol and Ibaka jump the ball!

Both of them are burly. Relatively speaking, Ibaka in this period is a little thinner, and his bounce speed is notoriously fast in the NBA. This time, he took the lead by a small margin. Gasol, who has an advantage in height and wingspan, was allocated to Westbrook in the backcourt.

The 76ers retreated like a tide, and Iguodala led the defense at the top of the arc, spreading his hands flat, and the 76ers seemed to be laying down an iron bucket formation.

Because of Tang Wenlong's excellent interference with Durant after the last game, Collins simply put Tang Wenlong at the small forward position as soon as this game came up. Anyway, Tang Wenlong also played small forward many times this season, basically now 1 , 2, and 3 positions are all competent.

And Iguodala is naturally another strong point in defending the Thunder-Westbrook.

In the opening game, the Thunder still used the simple old routine. Durant ran back at the elbow, and with Ibaka's off-ball screen, the quality of the screen was average, and Tang Wenlong couldn't get rid of it at all.

Durant's long arm was hem, and he dribbled a breakthrough. Tang Wenlong was in the main position, and the other long arm was around to interfere with his dribble.

Quick stop, mid-range jumper.

"It's too simple!" Tang Wenlong yelled, jumped up to interfere, and raised a big arm high. At the same time, the two of them had physical confrontation, which made Durant very uncomfortable when shooting.

The ball was not blocked, but it completely deviated from the trajectory. After a bounce on the basket, it was grabbed by Gasol who was stuck.

The 76ers were not in a hurry to make a fast break either. After the Thunder got in position, Lowry wobbled and stuck for halftime. Tang Wenlong ran out from the wing to catch the ball. Lowry gave him the ball, and then he was at a 45-degree position. , Tang Wenlong asked for David West's pick and roll.

David West hadn't made the tackle yet, the Thunder rushed over first, and Safolosha and Ibaka double-teamed Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong carefully dribbled the ball to the side. With a flick of his wrist, the basketball passed through the gap between the two. David West dribbled two steps forward and made a jump shot.

hit. 2 to 0.

"Strike!" Tang Wenlong reached out to give David West a high-five. West is the offensive point of the 76ers inside. He can score 15 points in almost every game without a sound, and his firepower output is stable to the extreme. Especially because of his comprehensive offensive skills, which greatly enriched the 76ers' tactical system.

The Thunder attacked, Durant got the ball with his back, and Tang Wenlong stuck close to him. The confrontation was visible to the naked eye, and the defense was very active.

Perkins picked and rolled, Tang Wenlong was delayed for a second, Durant got rid of the defense and faced Gasol directly.

After two moves, Durant made a mid-range jumper. At this time, Tang Wenlong rushed over from the side, but it was too late. Gasol reached out to interfere in vain, but the effect was minimal.

Hollow hit, 2 for 2.

"It's really troublesome to shoot just by blocking a screen." Tang Wenlong also finds it very tricky. Durant is different from Anthony and James. The latter two are very capable of personally creating opportunities. He can turn a little chance. For scoring, the assisted efficiency is comparable to that of O'Neal, and the efficiency is comparable to the most dominant center in history.

So some people say that Westbrook of the Thunder encountered the same problem as Kobe Bryant back then. When there is obviously a more efficient scorer in the team than you, how do you choose to attack?

And Westbrook and Kobe's choices are also surprisingly consistent, that is. Do it yourself.

This is not the case with the 76ers. During the regular season, Lowry and Iguodala shared Tang Wenlong's possession. In the playoffs, only Lowry shared Tang Wenlong's possession. Iguodala focused on On defense, he seldom organizes offense. Tang Wenlong can play as he wants, playing freely is like James.

After attacking more with the ball, Tang Wenlong's scoring increased again, but at the same time, his turnovers also increased by a quarter. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 3.7 turnovers per game.

Even so, the Thunder still made more turnovers than the 76ers. With Westbrook, Harden and Durant, the Thunder can average nearly 10 turnovers per game. I don't know why they can still win the Spurs.
