Chapter 93 Battle Rocket

Before Tang Wenlong could feel the taste of the New Year, the Spring Festival had passed in a hurry.

The court broadcasts a collection of New Year greetings made by him and many other NBA stars for fans at all times, including Peter Pan Kobe with dimples, Flash Wade with his cheeks agitated, old Magic player Carter, and New York's new favorite Tadelmar, it seems that their Mandarin is very substandard, but it actually creates a feeling of joy.

Fans like to see such interstitials, as if they are interacting, which is much better than small advertisements.

The NBA schedule continues on and on
Tang Wenlong received more and more endorsement invitations. Under Tang Wenlong's instruction, Joe Thomas picked some endorsements.You must know that not all endorsements are suitable for Tang Wenlong. If you choose some unreliable or obviously low-priced endorsements, it will not only waste the time of both parties, but also cause other adverse effects.

The last game before the All-Star Game was against the Rockets.

The 76ers go to Houston!

Houston, Toyota Center.

The Rockets lost Yao Ming this season and returned to the era of bombardment under Adelman.The offensive rhythm is fast, but the turnover rate is also amazing.Generally speaking, in the west, it is a situation of not being able to make progress and not being able to make progress. It seems that with a little effort, they can become the last place in the top eight.It happened to be this last point, which seemed like a natural moat, difficult to overcome.

The little giant is a casual and gentle person. When Tang Wenlong met his senior, he finally felt a little nervous.

"Chinese basketball will depend on you in the future." Yao Ming gave Tang Wenlong a high hat in the first sentence they met.

Tang Wenlong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally learned the words of a person with a high IQ, "Don't embarrass me, brother Yao, compared to you, I'm just a little plane that just took off, obviously it's still on the runway!"

"Haha, your metaphor is quite interesting." Yao Ming laughed.

The two of them communicated acquaintedly and talked about what they had seen and heard.They also come to a foreign country to work alone alone, and they also have a lot of common language with each other. Speaking of it, they are not so born.

Seeing Tang Wenlong's immature face, Yao Ming's brows were a little gloomy as he talked.

"Wenlong, you must take good care of your body. An athlete's body needs more maintenance than ordinary people. If ordinary people are just that kind of family car, we are that kind of sports car. Maybe the speed is faster and the strength is also higher. It is strong, but the consumption is also huge, and it may be accumulated in the bones in a subtle way."

Tang Wenlong nodded solemnly, taking it as a warning in his heart.

"But having said that, the average life span of your outside players is still much longer than our inside players, especially if you focus on shooting, you can almost reach the age of 40."

Tang Wenlong exclaimed exaggeratedly, "40 years old? My God, what a long career that must be. Children can compete with adults in the same arena."

Yao Ming laughed and said, "Haha, the premise is that you have to give birth to a son before the age of 20."

The two people were talking, but the foreigners around couldn't understand them, and they snapped at each other, but they could only stare blankly.

When night falls and the lights are bright, the Toyota Center becomes even more lively.

The imperial court made a lot of publicity for this game. Yao Ming established a large fan base for the Rockets in China in the past few years, making the Rockets suddenly become the NBA team with the most basketball fans in China, and far surpassed other teams. It's the same as the mother's team.And Tang Wenlong is now the guarantee of the ratings. As long as there are Tang Wenlong's games, the ratings will remain high, and every time it comes to a critical moment, the ratings will skyrocket like out of control, just like Yao Ming's games in the past few years.

Under such circumstances, this game is naturally the focus of Chinese fans.

Although Collins didn't take the current Rockets seriously.

Rockets starters: Jrue Holiday, Kevin Martin, Sean Battier, Luis Scola, Chuck Hayes.

76ers starting: Kyle Lowry, Tang Wenlong, Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, Sam Muir Dalembert.

This is the first time that the 12ers have played against the Rockets after the big deal between the 76ers, the Kings and the Rockets in December. Holiday and Lowry were officially the protagonists of that deal. After the incident, the clubs were switched.

After the opening ceremony was completed, Huo Ledi did not come over to greet Tang Wenlong and the others, as if he were a stranger.This made Iguodala a little dissatisfied and a little angry.

Tang Wenlong shook his head. Regarding the fact that Huo Ledi was traded away, he knew some news in his heart. Speaking of it, it was inextricably linked to his rising status after he lost the 76ers.

But now in the Rockets, Holiday is doing okay, at least the team's organization is completely dependent on him.Among the three perimeters, Martin focuses on offense without the ball, Battier focuses on defense, and he is the only one left. The ball possession rate has gradually increased, and his personal data has also continued to rise. Up to now, he has played too much The double-double data of 20+10 times.

This time the 76ers visited, Holiday also held his breath and had to perform well.

In the same way, Lowry also had a serious expression, and he was meticulous in warming up before the game. Obviously, the performance in this game is also of great significance to him.

The audience in Houston held popcorn, held Coke, and prepared to watch the game like watching a movie.

Suddenly--

power cut.
The entire Toyota Center arena was plunged into darkness, and you couldn't see your fingers. First, there were exclamations and screams from the audience, followed by boos one after another.

Tang Wenlong was also taken aback, what's the matter?
Fortunately, in less than a dozen seconds, the front row lights directly above the arena turned on and shot directly at the players who were doing warm-up training on the field. What if I hit someone else?
"This should be an emergency light. What are the people of Houston doing? Has the circuit been frozen in winter?" Iguodala was angry enough, and now he was even more angry, and he even felt a little bit unwilling to play.

"It's all conspiracy and tactics, calm down, boy." Tang Wenlong persuaded.

Iguodala suddenly realized, took a deep breath, "Yes, this must be Houston's conspiracy. It's really insidious, I have to keep calm."

After a few more minutes, all the lights finally turned on, and the powered equipment returned to normal.

At this time, the referee went to the technical department on the sidelines and kept talking with the technicians. The technicians kept nodding and gesticulating with their hands, as if explaining something.

The little accident didn't affect anything, and the audience in front of the TV didn't even know there was such a little episode.

When they were watching TV, ESPN directly gave the introduction of the first five players of the day. First, the five Rockets were released, followed by the five-man team of the 76ers. data.

When switching the interface again, it directly changed to the wide-angle lens on the field. At this time, all ten people on the field have already stood in their positions, waiting for the referee to throw the ball.

When the ball is thrown up, people jump up with it
This jumping ball immediately caused Yu Jia, the host of the court TV, to talk.

"The center of the Rockets, Hayes, is less than two meters tall. The jumper is to let the power forward Scola, who is [-] meters tall, jump, but Scola's jumping ability is also very average. He is as tall as Dalembert. Compared with the blue-collar center forwards who are in the leading position in arm length, the gap is really a bit big."

When the jump ball wins, Lowry controls the ball for halftime.

"Go to the bottom corner." Tang Wenlong knew what he meant when he saw Lowry pointing in the left direction, so he silently turned to the bottom corner and lay in ambush.

Lowry, on the other hand, looked like a general, directing east and west, and the 76ers' first wave of tactics immediately unfolded in an orderly manner.

The better the NBA's tactics are executed, the higher the success rate.

In this wave, Iguodala walked twice and didn't get a good chance, so Lowry simply gave the ball to Thaddeus Young. The latter saw that Scola was a little far away from him, so he directly Choose a high jumper.

Scola stepped forward to interfere, and the basketball missed--

Under the basket, Dalembert was flushed, but Hayes was like a stubborn rock at the foot of the mountain.

The rebound arc was not high, so Hayes relied on the thickness of his body, jumped up and hugged him in his arms.

Dalembert had no choice but to run back to defend.

Tang Wenlong watched from the side until his eyeballs almost fell out. How strong should this guy be?He knew Dalembert's strength. He was slightly stronger than himself, and Hayes, who was only two meters tall, looked as terrifying as O'Neill's strength.

"If I have this kind of strength to back up a defender, who can stand up to me?" Tang Wenlong thought unrealistically.
