Chapter 89 Targeted

In the 76ers' visiting locker room, Wall silently tightened his shoelaces.

"The outside world's views are really biased. They don't understand your strength at all, John." Rashad-Lewis said indignantly.

Wall shook his head, with a flat expression, and rested his hands on his thighs like this, "No matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the record of the 76ers is ahead of us, and the overall strength of their team is indeed relatively balanced. Tang Wenlong was in college. I've seen him, but he wasn't that good, but I didn't expect him to explode as soon as he entered the NBA."

"Some people may be the kind of rookie who is the pinnacle?" Nick Young, who has afro-haired hair, came over and said jokingly. "You know, like Emeka Okafor, OJ Mayo or Damon Stoudemar."

John Wall didn't speak any more, just remained silent, silent like a killer in the dark.
The spotlight shone on the floor of the Wachovia Center as the 76ers and Wizards battled it out.

At the beginning of the game, Iguodala insisted on pulling Tang Wenlong to dance the mechanical dance together, saying that it was to break the bad luck of the two-game losing streak.How could Tang Wenlong know this, he swayed left and right a few times, causing the audience in the front row to laugh, which made Tang Wenlong even more embarrassed.

It didn't take long for the two starting teams to walk to the field first. Tang Wenlong shook Wall's hand, feeling very powerful.

"Tonight's game must be very exciting." Wall suddenly smiled, but his tone was cold and emotionless.

Tang Wenlong's heart skipped a beat, this is a tactic for him!He narrowed his eyes and responded without showing weakness, "I think so, the people of Philadelphia have been waiting for this game for a long time."

The live sound was too noisy, and there was no live sound of the two people in the shot, but the audience could already smell the strong smell of gunpowder just by looking at the silent shot.

At the start of the game, Dalembert lost the jump ball.

It was JaVale McGee who beat him. When this guy with arms like King Kong picked the ball away, Tang Wenlong was also taken aback, "It's really talented, it's like cheating. "

Wall stood with the ball outside the three-point line, and the Wizards followed his organization and started a regular tactical movement.

Starters: Point guard John Wall, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Rashad Lewis, power forward Andre Blatche, center JaVale McGee.

This is a tall lineup. Lewis was just traded to the Wizards last month. When he was in the Magic, he was the hero who helped the Magic reach the finals.Just like the Kings traded Dalembert away, Wall's outstanding performance made Arenas' status and role in the team continue to decline, and eventually he exchanged clubs with Lewis.

Lewis has a full height of 2 meters, which is definitely tall in the small forward position.

After Collins thought for a long time before the game, he still let Tang Wenlong, who has a better wingspan, to defend Lewis, while Iguodala is to defend the current Wizards' first outside gun, Nick Young. 17.8 points, and the playing time has just been 30 minutes.

This is a targeted defense. In the first wave of the Wizards' offense, Nick Young felt the power of the top perimeter defender in the NBA today.

Dribble, dribble, dribble. If you can't dribble, pass it back and dribble again
After nearly ten seconds of entanglement, Nick Young's face turned from blue to red, then from red to purple, and finally he turned and took a step back to shoot a jumper. Iguodala was like a tarsal maggot, almost missing the basketball with his big hand.

The basketball is naturally outrageous. It hit the rim and was touched by Dalembert and McGee at the same time, flying out of the baseline.

The referee awarded the ball to the home team, which caused applause from the scene.

Lowry beckoned, and Tang Wenlong ran over to serve the baseline ball. After he fell to the small forward position, he became a frontcourt player, and sometimes he would also run to serve the baseline ball.

Then Tang Wenlong and Lowry pushed the ball across the half.

Lowry ran to the 45-degree position on the left and passed a hit to Tang Wenlong in the middle who was keeping up with him. Tang Wenlong turned again and handed it to Iguodala on the right.

Tang Wenlong took advantage of the situation and cut from the middle to the bottom line, using the cover of Dalembert to run to the bottom corner, while Lowry and Thaddeus Young completed a cross move, and Thaddeus Young ran to the outside to receive the basketball .At this time, Blatche, who was walking slowly, couldn't keep up with Thaddeus Young, and there was a certain distance between the two.

Thaddeus Young caught the ball and tapped it lightly, and made a motion to shoot, and Blatche's center of gravity floated up subconsciously.

Thaddeus-Young turned around and broke through, and his sense of rhythm was very good. Blatche had no time to adjust, and let the 2-meter "big man" rush into the inside line.

Once it rushed into the inside line, the lethality went up to another level. Thaddeus Young and McGee confronted in the air, and McGee's thug foul was caused by the shaking.

The referee whistles, free throw!
What?

Big McGee's facial features were all twisted together, the corners of his eyes were bent down, his hands were spread out, his face showed a super innocent look, and the word "囧" was almost printed on his brows.

The referee gave him a blank look and blew it all. Can it be changed?
Thaddeus Young made two free throws. 2 to 0.

Wall did not speak. After receiving McGee's serve, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly accelerated his advance. His straight-line advance was so fast that the short-legged Lowry almost failed to keep up.

And when he was outside the three-point line, he stopped his high-speed dash, suddenly waved his hand outside the three-point line, and started a normal organizational attack again.

Tang Wenlong shook his head, point guard, champion.
McGee ran to do a pick-and-roll for Wall, near the 45-degree three-point line, which is the best place to launch a pick-and-roll tactic, Wall used the pick-and-roll to directly face Dalembert, buttocks, desperately resisting behind Lowry, the indomitable little steel cannon, flipped the basketball back and forth a few times.

Suddenly, Wall passed the ball, with his usual simplicity, and McGee slid down to receive the basketball.

McGee was overjoyed and was about to take three steps!

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes.

Then--

"Snapped!"

He suddenly felt a pain in his fingers, and subconsciously let go of his hands in pain. The thick basketball disappeared out of thin air like a magic treasure~
"It's the dog's day!" McGee's eyes were red, and the back of White No. 1 looked so hateful at this moment!
Tang Wenlong and Iguodala easily finished two-on-one in the frontcourt, and the basket creaked with a "bang-dang" dunk.

"Wow!"

The audience cheered and raised their hands. The 76ers have seen such fast breaks this season, and they have become an appetizer in the Wachovia Center Arena.

Iguodala gave Tang Wenlong a high-five to celebrate, "It's not bad!"

"You passed it on very well!"

The alley-oop dunk after the steal seemed to ignite the excitement in the hearts of the 76ers. For a while, the whole team turned into bulldogs, full of aggression.

The Wizards are like falling into a swamp, struggling.

Wall kept moving the ball, organizing his teammates, and cheering everyone up, but found little effect. The two forwards and swingmen of the 76ers took turns attacking and breaking through the ball, like players carved out of a mold The same, and whether it is Nick Young or Lewis, they are by no means the kind of excellent defensive players.

After half a quarter, the Wizards used short timeouts and long timeouts, but they were 9 to 18, nearly ten points behind.

Afterwards, the Wizards who returned to the court gradually regained a little touch. Nick Young made a strong three-pointer, which made the score difference not look so big.

And Wall completed a wonderful crotch cross step in an attack, and completed an alley-oop slam dunk with McGee on Dalembert's head!
McGee let out a bad breath, and the young master is not easy to mess with.

14 to 18, seeing being chased by the Wizards for 5 points, Collins decisively used the regular timeout. Anyway, even if he didn't use it, the timeout would be mandatory sooner or later.

Collins said that the two opponents on the opposite side were too aggressive and called a timeout to cool them down.What we have to do is to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the Wizards and do a good job defensively.After all, the Wizards' poor defense is obvious to all in the league. They can't defend the outside line or the outside line, and they can't hold the inside line or the inside line.

After returning, Tang Wenlong strictly implemented the cutting work arranged by Collins. Using his moving speed, he and Iguodala formed the two sharpest defensive scalpels on the field. As long as Wall sends the ball to the inside, there will always be The two of them are active figures.

And with the coping ability of McGee and Blatche, it can only be hehe.

Zhuangyuan Lang was very helpless, and he had a feeling of "deliberately killing the thief, but unable to return to heaven".

Compared with the active Tang Wenlong, his eyes showed envy for the first time, and he immediately entered a team like the 76ers who could compete for a place in the playoffs. There were also few players in the team who didn't like defense, and Iguodala's combination looks like a poor man's version of Wade and James, and I don't know how many times better than the messed-up Wizards.
