Chapter 88 Untitled
In 2011, Tang Wenlong won his second rookie of the month in the Eastern Conference.

Throughout December, Tang Wenlong scored 12 points, 20.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.9 steals. He ranked second in scoring among rookies, fifth in rebounds, third in assists, and first in steals. Overall performance From the looks of it, it has suppressed the other two outstanding rookies in the Eastern Conference-Gordon Hayward and No. 1.3 pick John Wall.

In the West, Griffin is also thriving. He averaged 22.9 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, which is already an All-Star level data, far exceeding the performance of Evan Turner and Wesley Johnson.

"This year's rookies are so vigorous." When asking last year's best rookie Tyreke Evans to evaluate this year's rookies, he said modestly, "I can't imagine that if Blake If both Tang Wenlong and I were in the same class, what kind of scene would it be?"

And as Tang Wenlong's performance became more and more brilliant, the frequency of reporters appearing around him became higher and higher.

Not only in ordinary games and regular training, but also in daily personal life, the shadows of reporters have begun to shuttle, some are local media in Philadelphia, some are official NBA reporters, and some are from the other side of the ocean , is media from China or other Asian countries.

The increase in media attention means the expansion of Tang Wenlong's influence.

Joe Thomas has become more and more comfortable in the agent business. He is now a middle-ranked existence among the more than 100 agents registered in the entire NBA. There will definitely be more improvements.

The record of the 76ers is stable at No.7 in the East. They are not as powerful as the Bulls, Heat and Celtics, but they can easily crush the Cavaliers and Raptors.

On New Year's Day, the 76ers challenged the Lakers away.

The last time at the home court of the 76ers, the Lakers were reversed by the 76ers. In the end, they were defeated by Tang Wenlong, a rookie. There are also a lot of harsh words on the Internet.

At noon, Tang Wenlong arrived in Los Angeles, the brightest pearl on the western coastline.

Although he seldom watches movies, he also knows that there is a world-famous movie center in the outskirts of Los Angeles-Hollywood.Every year, the Oscars will be held there, which is the place that Nocioni yearns for so much. The old boy always thinks that his acting skills are enough for him to retire and develop into the entertainment industry.

Therefore, Los Angeles is the cultural and entertainment center of the United States, and as one of the important sports facilities in Los Angeles, Staples has never lacked the support of stars.

Tang Wenlong felt that every city was the same, but what was different was the stories that happened in the city every night.

At night, the wealthy of Los Angeles sit in the front row of the Staples Center alongside stars big and small.They were whispering about tonight's game, waiting gracefully for the performance presented by the Purple and Gold Army.

In terms of box office, the Lakers, who have won two consecutive championships, are definitely the most appealing in the NBA today, and they are still on top of the Heat who have gathered the Big Three.

The last time the 76ers staged a good show, the audiences all over the United States were hooked, and the middle time was only about two weeks, which immediately increased the interest of the audience. Already sold out.At night, fans crowded around the arena even more, and entered the arena in long queues.

Imperial TV broadcasted the game, and now Tang Wenlong is the favorite athlete for Chinese basketball fans to watch. Every time the 76ers play a live broadcast, the ratings far exceed other programs.

Of course they support Tang Wenlong, and most of the fans support the 76ers, even though Kobe has a huge number of fans in China.

But this time, Tang Wenlong's fans were disappointed. The 76ers traveled thousands of miles to Los Angeles, and were beaten by the Lakers by a huge score difference of 66 to 42 at halftime.

This point difference is actually larger than the biggest point difference caused by the Lakers against the 76ers last time, which can be called a super big pit.

The fans are naturally looking forward to the 76ers being able to cheer up. Maybe it is a good script like last time, chasing points non-stop in the second half, and finally staged a lore?
Tang Wenlong also thought so, so in the third quarter, he led the 76ers to launch wave after wave of offensive frenzy.

Lowry, Louis Williams, Iguodala, Tang Wenlong and Dalembert, Collins even offered such an alternative lineup of one big and four small, Tang Wenlong and Iguodala played inside in turn, speed and The rhythm is constantly improving, and the scene is full of enthusiasm.

In fact, the increased speed has affected the overall efficiency of the 76ers, with more mistakes and almost no change in point difference.

第三节，76人35比31单节领先了湖人4分，但整体来看，76人却是77比97落后了足足20分。

In the fourth quarter, Collins put on the main force and fought for 5 minutes, but still could not see the hope of recovering the score. In the end, he withdrew all the main players and replaced them with Tony Batty and Hassan Whiteside. The substitute among the substitutes announced that he forfeited the game.The field completely entered garbage time.

The nobles of Staples flicked their nails and witnessed another Lakers-style slap.

The camera was shown on Tang Wenlong and others who were wearing training uniforms on the bench. He and Iguodala were watching the game out of focus, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

After the game, Iguodala attended the press conference, and the media in Los Angeles was really sharp.

One of the reporters asked Iguodala face-to-face, a very sharp question about whose team the 76ers currently belong to, and also gave Tang Wenlong or Iguodala a multiple-choice question.

Iguodala's face changed at that time, and Collins was also so frightened that sweat appeared on his forehead.

After thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, Iguodala replied cautiously: "Your question is too straightforward. It really is the style of a big city."

There was a burst of laughter immediately.

"To be honest, the 76ers are not exclusive to any player's team. He is the pride of the entire Philadelphia people. Throughout the vast history of the 76ers, there have been countless Hall of Fame players, Julius Irving, Wilt Chamberlain blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. , won the East Rookie of the Month award, and I believe he will definitely win the Rookie of the Season award in the future."

As soon as Iguodala's voice fell, the Los Angeles media immediately became upset. You know, the white monster of the Clippers is also the darling of Los Angeles. If Tang Wenlong gets the best rookie, it will make the phenomenal performance What about Griffin?
Taste carefully, and Iguodala's words are very clever.The first half narrates the glorious team history of the 76ers in a long-winded manner, and later it says that Tang Wenlong is just a rookie, even though he is good. In the end, he used the rookie of the year to fight back against the Los Angeles media, which is the finishing touch.

But after the game, when the media reported with some facts, it turned out that Iguodala was optimistic about Tang Wenlong being comparable to historical superstars such as Irving and Chamberlain.

This publicity, on the contrary, increased Tang Wenlong's local reputation in Los Angeles a lot.

Immediately afterwards, the 76ers continued their western road trip, returning to Philadelphia to challenge the New Orleans Hornets after a two-day rest.

The two teams played a game with a very low shooting rate. The Hornets' outside starting small forward Ariza only made 11 of 2 shots and none of his 5 three-point shots.And Iguodala's overall shooting rate is also very good, only 14 of 3 shots, but 3 of 1 outside three-pointers, which looks okay.

全场84比77，76人输了比赛。保罗也不过只有15+5的数据，还不如19+4的唐文龙数据来的好看。

Immediately afterwards, on January 1, the 6ers returned to their home court to meet the challenge from Washington.

Logically speaking, the Wizards are just the third-to-last player in the Eastern Conference. In this game, there is no active All-Star in the two teams, so there is really nothing to pay attention to.

But for the fans of the two teams, the meaning of this game is different.

The first pick was the Wizards, and the second place was the 76ers. But now, in the latest rookie rankings, Tang Wenlong topped the list, and Wall didn't even make the top three.This made it difficult for Wizards fans to accept, and many biased Wizards fans even shouted slogans to dismiss the general manager, thinking that letting go of Tang Wenlong, a big fish, was simply the most stupid thing to do.

Secondly, for Chinese fans, this is a rare derby match. Tang Wenlong and Yi Jianlian are both authentic Chinese. It is an honorable moment to see such a scene in the top league .

So before the game, the media put a lot of halos on the game, making the original ordinary regular season a little different.

Chaoting TV broadcasted it vigorously.
