Chapter 58 Debut
In this world, in the sports industry, reversals and upsets are always the most eye-catching things.

The 76ers beat the much-anticipated Heat 101-94 in their home opener, which surprised the experts and fans.Of course, theoretical impossibility will inevitably lead to reasonable analysis in practice, such as the Heat's back-to-back, the last moment of physical exhaustion; such as the Heat's big-name fresh collection, the chemical reaction is still slowly rising.

The NBA's official post-production staff worked overtime to edit the essence of the game and broadcast it to fans who only watched the essence of 5 to 10 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that among the top ten official goals of the day, Tang Wenlong entered the country twice.

On the eighth ball, Wade bowed to Buddha in a high position and made a fake shot to play the No. [-] pick. On the third ball, Tang Wenlong used a Tim Hardaway-style crotch cross step to shake Wade away and complete the belly stretch with both legs bent and knees Dunk!

After all this, Tang Wenlong became famous immediately. American fans were very surprised to see that yellow people with poor physical fitness in the original impression appeared one after another in the NBA where there were many black people. As weak as imagined.The Chinese fans shouted "Jiangdong Xiaobawang" appeared. They watched Tang Wenlong's wonderful dribbles and dunks over and over again, tears filled their eyes, mother, how long did they wait for such an outstanding outside line!

With 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Tang Wenlong's first show is not amazing, but there are enough shining points.

And after the game, the scene of Tang Wenlong and Wade hugging and talking to each other is even more talked about by the fans. It feels like Tang Wenlong is enjoying himself in the NBA.

The best player of the game was awarded to Iguodala. Although his shooting percentage was bleak, he still scored 25 points by relying on his lethality, which made the people of Philadelphia proud.

A reporter from the "Philadelphia Herald" wrote: "The 76ers have played with a different spirit. After the team picked Tang Wenlong, who has great potential, in the summer, the team has no obvious shortcomings, starting with 5 players. Each perform their duties, the entire team has shown good offensive and defensive capabilities in front of the powerful Miami people, we are a balanced team, and the new season is worth looking forward to."

This made Tang Wenlong feel ashamed when he saw the newspaper while having breakfast in the breakfast room of the apartment the next day.

"This buddy is so morally broken." Tang Wenlong complained in his heart. What do you mean that the 76ers have no obvious shortcomings?The problem of rebounds alone is enough to give head coach Collins a headache. The combination of Hawes and the old captain can still pick up two rebounds against the inside of the Heat. How do top insiders like Ski defend and shoot?

Collins didn't even think about it himself, and only hoped that Stefanski would be able to work harder and change the status quo of the team through trades or signings.

However, Collins is very satisfied with the current situation of the team's perimeter. The combination of Holiday, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala looked full of firepower in the first game, and they could pass each other exquisitely. Good shots, jointly contributed 1 points, 54 rebounds and 17 assists. Fortunately, the first two were only about half of the team, and the last assist was a bit outrageous. Holiday 18 times, Iguodala 9 times, Tang Wenlong 5 times Second-rate.
When Collins saw this stat sheet after the game, he was taken aback. He found that he seemed to have made an amazing combination.

One month of adaptation time allowed Tang Wenlong to gradually adapt to the NBA.

Get used to the training here, the life and games here, and the occasional innocuous jokes between the players.

After the opening game, he thought he could do it, but he didn't expect to encounter the most famous back-to-back game in the NBA!
The Eagles at home on the 29th and the Pacers away on the 30th!
Back to back is another name for continuous combat.

NBA games are basically held at night, which can drive fans to drive to the scene to watch the game after dinner.Therefore, for the players, it is basically two or three o'clock in the morning to fight hard for two and a half hours every night, take a bath, deal with the media, and finally return to the hotel where they are staying. I will eat food to fill my already empty stomach, and the moment I actually sleep until I close my eyes on the bed is a matter of four or five o'clock.

There are away games in back-to-backs, which means that the players will rush to another city in less than 24 hours. After experiencing the devastation of the previous day and the torture of the journey, the state of the second game can be imagined.

The team that can maintain a stable performance in the second away game not only proves that the players have a high level of competition and are good at adjustment, but also the team's cohesion, perseverance and physical fitness have been fully affirmed.

How to better distribute physical energy and how to quickly enter the rest state after the game is the knowledge that every professional player needs to learn. It can be said that back-to-back away games are the blind medicine for rookies to mature quickly.

Against the Eagles, Tang Wenlong played 25 minutes and scored 11 points in a satisfactory manner.

He seemed tepid, but the overall 2010 rookie's debut game surprised the outside world.

In the East, the No. 14 pick Wall scored 9 points and sent 25 assists in the first game. Although his shooting percentage was bleak, his organizational ability exploded.New Jersey Nets prospect Gordon Hayward shined, scored 101 points in the first game, and led the team to a 99-14 victory over the Detroit Pistons. It is worth mentioning that the rookie of the Pistons came off the bench Power forward Greg Monroe grabbed [-] rebounds, breaking a bunch of rookie records.

In the West, Evan Turner, who looked down on the world in the draft, made his debut. Although he failed to lead the Timberwolves to victory, he scored a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, making a sensation in the league.

Generally speaking, the high-ranking players in the entire 2010 rookie world performed very well. It only took the first show, and people began to compare this rookie with the 96 gold and 03 platinum generations. It's time for stars to appear in a blowout.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Tang Wenlong participated in the first away game with the team!

On a golden sunny evening, the team plane landed on the runway of Indianapolis International Airport.

At the moment, the airport is empty, sparsely populated, and the passengers who don't chat much are hurrying on their way.However, when a large group of two-meter-tall men appeared in the terminal building, they still attracted a lot of attention. People only took a little observation and knew that this was a very professional team. Wearing a travel bag and wearing extremely sporty clothes.

The 76ers didn't have to wait long before the official team bus picked them up and drove them directly to the Conseco Arena.

This was Tang Wenlong's first visit to the capital of Indiana, and he looked out the window to admire the roadside scenery like a curious baby.

Everyone in the team bus was very quiet, except for the players, the coaching staff, staff, and team reporters. Occasionally, there would be voices of coaches whispering about tactics, but they were kept very low, for fear of disturbing the boss who used every bit of time to rest. players.

After driving for a while, everyone got off the bus, approaching the Conseco Arena under the night, the lights have been turned on, it is more like a huge shopping mall, and noisy voices can be heard from a distance.

In a flashing spotlight, the 76ers rejected the enthusiastic interviews of the reporters, and then walked into the arena under the escort of two rows of security guards.

Time is running out, and the good news is that the Pacers are also fighting back-to-backs.

"In the last game, the Indiana lost in Charlotte." Nocioni and Tang Wenlong beside him were chatting while arranging their clothes in the locker room before the game.

"It's normal to not be able to beat the Bobcats. After all, Gerald (Wallace)'s defensive ability is too strong." Hawes on the other side analyzed seriously, obviously every player on the team knows it well.

Nocioni smiled approvingly: "Danny (Granger) is the Pacers' offensive banner. If the banner is cut down, the rout is inevitable."

Tang Wenlong's eyes shone with light, thinking about everything.

"Tang, here's something for you." After Nocioni was fully dressed, he glanced at Tang Wenlong's whole body, suddenly smiled, and took out something from the closet.

He opened his huge palm, and in the palm was a red rubber wristband.

"Wow, energy balance bracelet, rubber punk wristband!" Iguodala on the side showed an exaggerated expression.

Tang Wenlong slammed, his face was a little hot, and he felt a little embarrassed. Then he hesitated for a second, and then generously accepted Nocioni's gift, showing a thankful smile, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much."

"Red is not only the main color of our team, but also the embodiment of your lofty aspirations. You know, no matter how high you jump, you are not as strong as your inner strength." Nocioni said sincerely to Tang Wenlong without his usual laughing and joking.

Tang Wenlong also had a serious face, then he opened the package and put the red wristband on his left wrist.

He was very moved, and realized for the first time that in the major leagues of the NBA, there are not only cruel competitive games, but also precious warm friendship flowing in it.
