China fans expect the Derby not to appear, but they are still relieved to see Tang Wenlong’s phenomenal performance.
After the game, the outside media further confirmed that Tang Wenlong’s future as the first rookie in the 21st draft was limitless.
Every other day, January 21.
The 76ers have won seven consecutive victories at home against the No.1 Bulls in the East. The Bulls have a superb season record. Ross’s excellent performance has contributed greatly. Up to now, Ross has averaged nearly 25 points per game and can send seven assists, which is the engine of the entire Bulls team.
What is even more frightening is that when the head coach invited the defense master Tom Sibudu, the Bulls’ defense became the strongest in the NBA!
This opponent is much stronger than the Wizards, and the 76ers have a sense of excitement. What an honor it is to beat such an opponent!
But as soon as the game started, it was a blow to the 76ers.
The average outside hit rate is that the Bulls can hit three points in a row on the outside! Rolden and Bogans hit a high percentage. Tang Wenlong just contributed a beautiful defense with Iguodala, and this game was shot into a sieve.
At halftime, the Bulls led by 15 points 64-49.
At the half-time, Tang Wenlong felt cold, and the whole half-time shot was only 1, which helped the team effectively. It felt like playing soy sauce when the 76 ers were defeated like a mountain, and the game was turned into garbage before the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Bulls beat the 76ers 116-93. Tang Wenlong made 4 of 15 shots in the field and just scored 1 point.
"No matter how bad it is, there are still double-digit scores guaranteed." It seems like teasing Tang Wenlong when taking a shower in Nuo Sioni’s locker room, but it is actually an encouragement to Tang Wenlong.
Tang Wenlong thought about it carefully, as if it were such a truth. Since he entered the league, he has always scored in double digits. Although he occasionally plays while the iron is hot, overall, scoring is still very easy for him.
"I don’t know. Maybe I won’t get a double-digit score when I get old." Tang Wenlong said modestly that he still enjoyed the iron-striking game.
Then, after the game against the bulls, the 76 ers took a rest that night and rushed to Detroit early the next morning to challenge the Pistons.
Detroit Aoshan Palace
Before the game, Greg Monroe and Tang Wenlong talked and laughed. When they were in college, they played against Tang Wenlong several times. It was a good chat between the two people from the Greater East Alliance. Greg Monroe envied Tang Wenlong’s treatment now, and the latter has almost been set as the core of the 76-person training.
Monroe, on the other hand, is not treated so well. He still needs to play from the bench now-Wallace Yuwei Shawn Villanueva also has a three-pointer to guarantee the bottom.
"At that time, I was still glad that I was selected by the Pistons. Now I think it’s a bit of a pit." Monroe’s tone was quite dissatisfied
Tang Wenlong frowned and exhorted, "Maybe the coach tested you? That Mao Daxia looks soft and definitely can’t compete with you. "
"John Custer’s training is quite good, but I play more in the center position in college. If I don’t go … no, I mean he is very strong, but he overlaps with me, you know what I mean?" Monroe said seriously.
Tang Wenlong nodded. "I understand that a rookie like us really needs more competition experience to be born in this league. You know that I would suffer a lot if I didn’t have Andreas (NoSioni) who is an old hand."
"I’m going to beat you in this game anyway, but that’s what all the rookies want most now," Greg Monroe said with high morale.
Tang Wenlong smiled "I also want to win! “
The two chatted for a long time during the warm-up training. Monroe said that among the 21 ST rookie, Tang Wenlong was his favorite and Griffin was his most unbearable. If he was given the same opportunity as Griffin, he would not admit that he could not contribute 2+1, which is what he is trying to do now.
In the Pistons’ first start, stucky and Gordon formed the backcourt, Prince Villanueva and Wallace formed the frontcourt. Now there are only two people left in the all-powerful league, but the piston’s playing style remains unchanged.
It’s still unique to Motown, but it doesn’t have the kind of iron in its bones.
The formation of the team’s characteristics does not happen overnight. The 76ers are now in such a special stage. There are chic in the post-Iverson era, gas in the Iguodala era and Tang Wenlong leading the boom.
Collins was questioned by the media about Tang Wenlong’s poor performance after a game. He said, "There are 450 players in the league who explode every night, and some people feel bad every night. Tang Wenlong is a rookie, and he has been making progress and becoming an excellent player. This road is not smooth, but there will always be ups and downs."
That is to say, the road is tortuous and the future is light.
Sure enough, the defense of Tang Wenlong against Pistons and Wang Prince showed his unstoppable feeling when he felt good!
In the first quarter, Tang Wenlong made 7 of 9 shots and scored 19 points. In the first half of the game, he exceeded a total score.
His performance reflected that the 76ers led by 13 points in the first quarter and dug a big hole in the first quarter. In the second half of the second quarter, Tang Wenlong appeared and Iguodala took the initiative to pick and roll and feed Tang Wenlong. It was like having a fire limit.
It’s like the deadly temptation of poppies. It’s really great to limit the fire
Tang Wenlong suddenly threw himself into the long arm, which was famous for his defense in the past. Prinzgen took him as a helpless man and accompanied him to his third foul break early.
Coach John shook his head several times, and the Pistons’ defense was so close that the opponent scored low. It was a complete mess because of the slow pace. Now, even a rookie can’t prevent double-teaming.
Before half-time, Tang Wenlong scored 26 points and walked off the court refreshed.
So ESPN female reporters stopped Tang Wenlong and invited Tang Wenlong to do an interview.
Irene Andrews, swaying her beautiful figure, got into Tang Wenlong’s nostrils with fragrant wind.
Tang Wenlong unwillingly swallowed saliva and secretly glanced at the female reporter’s chest.
"We know that you just experienced a big battle in the first place in the city and the league yesterday, but today you did very well, especially you. You scored 26 points at half-time. Wow, this is incredible. Can you tell me how you adjusted? “
Tang Wenlong secretly turned over a supercilious look, thinking that this female reporter looks so good and asks questions so stupid. Where did he fight with the bull yesterday? Less than three quarters later, he was beaten by others, and he didn’t experience much intensity. Naturally, as usual, it is not an incredible thing.
But he couldn’t say that, so he paused a little and replied, "You know, our team is very young and we have plenty of physical fitness. Although the city is far from Detroit, we have completely adapted to this schedule, which is nothing for a qualified NBA player."
"Well, you broke your own single-quarter scoring record in the first quarter and then broke your own half-court scoring record at half-time. Can you tell me how you feel at this moment? “
Tang Wenlong is really stunned. He doesn’t know about it himself.
This is of course very cool, but I still feel that this credit should be attributed to the joint efforts of my teammates. Without our division of labor, there would be no performance like this. Every time I defend every rebound, you know that brothers don’t play basketball.
Irene corners of the mouth Yang quietly laughed "OK, thank you very much for your interview"
Tang Wenlong politely responded "You’re welcome" and then hung the towel back on the neck and turned to the locker room.
Chapter ninety-three The end of January
When three quarters are smashed into garbage, 24 hours later, face another team and complete the punching class in three quarters.
Tang Wenlong’s performance is like occasional fluctuation. The lake fluctuates slightly, but it tends to be stable on the whole. He has the body, skills and brains. NoSioni gave him a way to live, and he took the dross and the essence to continuously enrich his ability.
The city media spared no effort to declare that Tang Wenlong was the best rookie, which made the Los Angeles media unhappy and the two media had a big social war of words.
