Chapter 51 Rookie
The training of the team does not happen overnight, and the change of style also takes time to settle.

Compared with the Bulls, the 76ers obviously cooperate with each other more tacitly, and the offensive fluency is much higher.

Sitting on the sidelines, Tang Wenlong watched with great interest as the two teams played back and forth on the field. The physical confrontation, technical and tactical level displayed by the players were obviously higher than those in college.

Breakthroughs are not the main theme of the game, and more often than not, jump shots are used to end offenses.

Except for one person!

Tang Wenlong's eyes were fixed on the basketball player who was wearing the No. [-] jersey like him—Derrick Rose. He had short, round-inch hair and red jersey accessories. player of.

Sitting on the sidelines and watching the breakthrough of the NBA's top speed point guard, the impact is astonishing. Holiday's defense was stretched, and he lost his position many times in a short period of time, causing the 76ers' overall defense to collapse.

"呲~"

Rose's sneakers slid on the floor with a violent friction sound, and then another violent frontal change of direction shook Holiday, who was waiting in full swing.

"What a rose in the Windy City." Tang Wenlong thought of the outside media's evaluation of Rose, and he agreed with it.

He was commenting here leisurely, but the head coach Collins frowned like an earthworm.

Of course, Collins didn't want to lose the game in this place, even if it was just an insignificant preseason game. He glanced at the bench and saw Tang Wenlong's bright eyes, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Then, the official timeout arrived, and the Bulls led by 14 to 11 by 3 points just after half a quarter.

The 76ers walked off the field. Doug Collins held the tactical board in one hand and gathered the crowd with the other, and then his deep voice sounded.

"Ju (Holiday), Andres (Nocioni), Elton (Brand) you three get off the court later, Don, Louis (Williams) and Thaddeus (Jan ) The three of you are ready to play. We still use Andre (Iguodala) as the offensive arrow, mainly through the zipper attack to create opportunities for Andre to open the wing or cut air."

Zipper attack is the first tactical term Tang Wenlong learned after entering the league.

In fact, this is just a unique name for the cover tactic, which can be traced back to the ancient Celtics team in the 60s when it was first used.As the core of the offense, Iguodala, under the cover of a generous inside line without the ball, either directly walks from the outside area near the baseline to around 45 degrees, or runs back from the inside to the horn area to receive the ball.

The zipper offense mentioned by head coach Collins is a set of offenses that the 76ers practiced alone during the training camp. In addition to simple off-ball screen moves, it also involves individual singles by the ball holder at the top of the arc, as well as some pick-and-roll offenses.So the offensive strengths under the whole set of tactics are actually not only Iguodala as SG, but also Holiday as PG.

These thoughts only flashed through Tang Wenlong's mind, and it was time for him to play.

"Come on, rookie." Elton rubbed Tang Wenlong's head with his big hand, encouraging him softly.

Tang Wenlong smiled faintly, "Don't worry!"

When the DJ at the scene saw a newcomer coming on stage, Wei Wei regained his energy. Then he took the materials in his hand and introduced Tang Wenlong to the audience through the loudspeaker.

"SG from Syracuse University, Tang Wenlong!"

The Bulls audience was still very loving, and there were some applause scatteredly. Among them were a few yellow-skinned fans, wearing Tang Wenlong's No. 1 jersey, cheering Tang Wenlong loudly.

The camera switched to Tang Wenlong's face, he was very calm.

On the side of the Bulls, Derrick Rose saw this year's No. [-] pick appearing and raised some interest.

Luol Deng seemed to see what Derek Rose was thinking, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, Derek? Do you want to give a lesson to this year's No. [-]? Many old guys taught you this way back then. Class is over!"

Ross did not deny it, and said, "Why not?"

The referee held the ball and returned the ball to the 76ers who had the ball before. Iguodala immediately ran to the sideline to serve the ball very professionally. Just as he was about to serve, he heard the referee's stop gesture.

"Wait!" the referee yelled.

Iguodala was startled, looked left and right, panicked: "What's wrong?"

Tang Wenlong was also taken aback, wondering why the referee was so surprised.And what he didn't expect was that after the referee paused serving, he rushed to him with an unhappy expression on his face.

Tang Wenlong felt uneasy, he didn't know how he had offended the true Gods of the NBA.

"Young man, please tuck your upper body clothes into your big underpants, this is an NBA rule." The referee saw that Tang Wenlong hadn't moved, and knew that he must meet a rookie again.

Tang Wenlong was embarrassed. Of course he knew that the NBA had this rule, but he forgot about it when he first played.Now I hurriedly stuffed my clothes.

There was a lot of laughter immediately in the arena. The players on the 76ers' bench and the Bulls' bench laughed and laughed. Even the two serious coaches couldn't help but smile, which made Tang Wenlong's face slightly pale. red.

Subsequently, the referee re-sent the ball to Iguodala.

Tang Wenlong received the ball and officially started his NBA career!
It is said that it is a wing position, but when Louis Williams is on the court with him, Tang Wenlong or Iguodala is still responsible for organizing the team. Louis Williams is still a scoring-oriented double player. Nengwei.

Appearing on Tang Wenlong's defensive position was a black player, his height was similar to Tang Wenlong's.

The coaching level of NBA coaches has been shown from the beginning. They will not easily believe in scout reports or official data. They would rather believe in their own judgment. Thibodeau will not believe the nonsense that Tang Wenlong is only 1 meters. , Directly use the swingman Ronnie Brewer who just signed this summer to defend Tang Wenlong.

Brewer's offense is weak and his defense is strong. If Tang Wenlong can be relieved, that would be the best!Thibodeau thought maliciously.

For Brewer, who was just reimbursed last season, he is eager to gain a foothold in his new club. If he can win the favor of the new coach, it would be great. Physical stress, mouth chatter.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie."

"I heard that you are the second place. Why are you so thin? I can push you down with one hand."

As a result, Tang Wenlong honestly followed the tactical arrangement and passed it to Iguodala, who came out of his bag.

After Brewer saw this, he became even more arrogant: "Hey, ladybug, do you dare to charge me with the ball? Don't you want to show yourself in front of your coach, or are you afraid of me and dare not Come?"

Tang Wenlong didn't expect to meet a legendary trash talker as soon as he entered the NBA. He didn't meet such a talkative player when he was in college, and he almost kept stopping.

He frowned, and silently said "If the heart is as clear as ice, the sky will not be shocked", and tried his best to ignore the fly buzzing in his ears.

Iguodala held the ball to get an open spot, but he didn't choose to shoot. After a false tap on Luol Deng, he dodged into the Bulls' inside line, and the Bulls' inside line Noah blocked him like a mountain.

Iguodala ended the offense with a floater and slammed it on the neck of the rim with a "bang", and the rebound was taken by Gibson, who was stuck in the main position.

"Retreat!" Iguodala roared, calling Tang Wenlong who was stunned in place back to his soul.

Tang Wenlong woke up with a jolt, and retreated.I was a little distracted by what Brewer said just now, but now I let the old fritters run ahead of me.

"Damn it, your sister!" Tang Wenlong swears, he is speechless towards the omnipotent NBA professional player.

After receiving the ball, Rose advanced too fast. When he saw that the 76ers' defensive formation was not in place, his eyes lit up and he added more speed. It was really like a gust of wind.

Outside the three-point line, Tang Wenlong turned his body to defend Rose, and Louis Williams blocked Rose's pass to Brewer.

Rose was going to wear it, but when he saw Tang Wenlong coming to defend, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and he withdrew his willingness to pass the ball.

The two got closer and closer, and Tang Wenlong couldn't adjust his small steps, and couldn't keep up with Rose's breakthrough.

The distance between the basketball and Tang Wenlong was less than half a meter. Tang Wenlong's dilated pupils could even clearly see the orange lines spinning endlessly in Rose's palm. Between the electric light and flint, he stretched out his arm in a ghostly way, trying to tap this dangling in front of him. Yes, damn basketball!

There was a playful smile on Ross's face, the right arm that seemed to be forward was pulled back, and then the left foot was used as the axis, and the left hand was stuck on Tang Wenlong's waist, and the right foot naturally turned counterclockwise on the ground, the whole body was like a spinning top, unexpectedly It is to complete a turn around in this rapid rush process chicly!
Tang Wenlong never thought that Rose could make such a technical move at such a fast speed, and he was completely wiped out all at once!

He turned around in embarrassment, and saw that the slender Louis Williams, who was only 1 meters tall, did not dare to stop Rose who was rushing like a calf. Ground one-hand split buckle.

Tang Wenlong stuck out his tongue and licked his dry lips, his eyes narrowed slightly
