"Such pick-and-roll passes, Tang Long and James have executed many times,"
Zhang Weiping also excitedly introduced their brilliant cooperation.
"Coach Zhang, there are only 20 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs have at most two more offensive opportunities, and that's if the Cavaliers miss. It feels impossible. We can now say that the Cavaliers have defeated the Spurs, washing away the embarrassment of being swept 4-0 by the Spurs in last year's Finals. This is something worth celebrating for the team and the players."
"Well said, this Cavaliers team makes me see the potential to contend for a championship."
Coach Zhang tried to suppress his excitement, as there were still twenty seconds left and the Spurs had possession of the ball. It was not yet time for the players to relax.
"The Cavaliers cannot relax yet. Only when the referee blows the final whistle can they celebrate their 29-game winning streak!!"
Beep.
As soon as the replay in the studio cut back to the court, the referee blew the whistle.
The game wasn't over. The Spurs missed a three-pointer, Tang Long grabbed the rebound, and Tim Duncan immediately fouled.
"Tim, do you think this is still necessary?"
Tang Long teased Duncan as he walked towards the Spurs' basket.
"Tang, as long as there's a chance, we won't give up easily!"
Tim Duncan finished speaking and waited for the rebound, betting that Tang Long would miss his free throws.
The Spurs fans also stood up, and a few even took off their shirts and danced to disrupt Tang Long's free throw rhythm.
It was clearly useless against Tang Long in this game.
Still accurate, he made both free throws.
The Cavaliers' lead extended to eight points, with the score at 103-95.
Only fifteen seconds remained until the end of the game.
After the Spurs inbounded the ball, they immediately went on a fast break, and Parker shot a three-pointer.
It swished through the net, but less than ten seconds remained.
Delonte West inbounded the ball to James, and the Spurs again resorted to fouling. James made both free throws.
105-98.
Next, Parker's three-pointer hit the rim and bounced out. Tang Long grabbed the rebound, and the Spurs players didn't continue to foul, standing dejectedly on the court, staring at Tang Long.
The Spurs didn't press anymore, so Tang Long didn't continue to attack, just dribbling the ball to run down the clock.
Beep!!
The referee blew the whistle, and the game ended.
The Cavaliers achieved an unprecedented 29-game winning streak!
In the entire game, James scored 30 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, while Tang Long had 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 6 blocks, making it another near triple-double.
The two of them accounted for 75 points of the team's total!
James and Tang Long, along with the Cavaliers players, immediately thanked the fans for their support.
At this moment, the camera cut back to the broadcast booth. Coach Zhang and Yang Yi were very happy, as the Cavaliers had won again.
Moreover, games with Tang Long in them had particularly high viewership.
"Congratulations to the Cavaliers, congratulations to Tang Long."
Coach Zhang was the first to speak: "In this game, Tang Long had at least several plays that could be selected for this week's Top 10 plays. He is truly the pride of our Dragon Countrymen!"
Although it is said that sports have no borders, athletes do.
"At least three, but this is the NBA. I think at most two plays will make the Top 10."
"That's still pretty good, considering this is in the Land of Flowers. Even though the Land of Flowers always preaches those slogans, their actions are quite different when it comes down to it."
"We can't say that."
Coach Zhang quickly pulled back the impulsive words of the young Yang Yi.
Yang Yi obviously knew he had been rash and quickly changed the subject: "Next, the Cavaliers will host the New Orleans Hornets, led by Chris Paul, at home. The Hornets are currently ranked first in the Western Conference. After Paul joined in 2005, the Hornets also recruited top players like Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojaković. Especially Chandler, whose position is similar to Tang Long's. This will be a tough game."
"The Hornets are indeed playing very well this year. Besides Chris Paul, David West is also averaging 20 points per game. With the Hornets' dynamic duo and Chandler, Peja, the Hornets' starting five, in terms of rebounds and offense, cannot compare to this year's Spurs."
Coach Zhang agreed with Yang Yi on this point.
"We can only say that this will be a tough game for the Cavaliers, but I believe Tang Long can overcome it."
Yang Yi was full of confidence in Tang Long.
Not only because of the winning streak, but also because of Tang Long's performance on the court and his unyielding spirit.
While the two in the broadcast booth were discussing Tang Long, Tang Long had already returned to the locker room.
As soon as he got back to the locker room, he received a message from Scarlett. She and Swift happened to be in Texas, and Texas was Swift's home turf. She insisted on inviting Tang Long to her ranch to experience the culture of the Western cowboys.
Tang Long thought for a moment and agreed.
"Tang, I see you've been grinning at your phone, are you dating some beauty?"
James put his arm around Tang Long's shoulder and teased him meaningfully.
"What dating? It's Swift, inviting me to experience a Texas ranch. What do you think, interested?"
"A ranch? I'll pass."
James flatly refused.
Such a rural farm would be too boring. He would rather spend that time going out to nightclubs with a few friends.
"LeBron, training starts at 2 PM tomorrow. Don't be late."
Seeing James and Tang Long chatting in hushed tones, Mike Brown could guess what these players were thinking with his eyes closed.
"Coach Brown, we've won 29 games, can't we have a day off?"
"A day off?" Mike Brown pondered, "After the season ends, you'll have plenty of time for nightclubs. For now, focus on your training. Don't you want to reach 30 wins, 40 wins? Look how many reporters are outside. Why are these reporters waiting at the door? It's because of our current success. If you want to maintain this spotlight, you need to work harder."
"Mike, don't be so serious."
James walked over, put his arm around Mike Brown's shoulder, and chatted cheerfully.
In the Cavaliers, only James dared to put his arm around Mike Brown's shoulder.
As they left the stadium and before boarding the team bus, a black minivan honked its horn outside the entrance.
While everyone was confused, Gal Gadot poked half her head out of the car window and waved at Tang Long.
"Tang, not bad."
"Look at us, comparing people is really infuriating."
Larry Hughes and a few others teased him, while Sasha Pavlovic even whistled and egged him on.
"Alright, you guys get in the car then. I'm leaving."
Tang Long, feigning reluctance, got into Gal Gadot's car and asked curiously, "How did you get here?"
