The NBA's Absolute Dominance

Chapter 15 Champion + MVP
The Cats and Birds' offense uses an outside shooting strategy.

Mark Davis had the ball on the left wing and was attacking one-on-one. Redick John came out to set a screen, which also brought Tang Bei out of the paint.

Just then, Mark Davis broke through using a pick-and-roll.

"squeak!"

Tang Bei turned around immediately, his basketball shoes seemingly smoking.

As he turned, he used the power generation technique of Tai Chi turning.

The power generation in Tai Chi turning emphasizes the integrity and continuity of power generation, not just the strength of the waist, but the strength of the whole body.

The power flows from the feet to the legs, from the waist to the upper limbs, and the final turning force has an explosive power characteristic, which is fast and fierce, resembling a tiger turning its head.

"You turned around so quickly!"

Many scouts looked surprised.

Very quickly, Tang Bei caught up with Mark Davis's breakthrough speed, sticking to the opponent's left side, and a fierce confrontation began instantly.

With his experience, he paid special attention, raising his hands when sticking close to Mark Davis to avoid being called for a defensive foul.

"damn it!"

The two only made one physical contact before Mark Davis immediately stumbled, nearly fell, lost control of the basketball, and was then snatched away by Tang Bei.

However, the referee did not blow his whistle because Tang Bei did not make any extra movements, so there was no way to call a foul.

Tang Bei passed the ball to Tom Morris and then immediately sprinted down the court.

"He fouled!" Mark Davis shouted.

But the referee ignored him and all ran towards the front field where Hai was leading his team.

Tom Morris drove into the paint, and David Rivers, who had already returned to the basket, pulled to the right wing and spotted Tang Bei, immediately passing the ball.

Tang Bei received the ball at the free-throw line, took a big step forward, and took off, his whole body like a mountain, yet as swift and light as a soaring eagle.

David Rivers, not wanting to be hit and killed, hurriedly dodged out of the way, clearing space under the basket.

"boom!"

"WOW!"

Tang Bei once again blasted the Cats and Birds' rim with a brutal dunk, earning enthusiastic cheers from the fans.

Commentator Pavel Hanks shook his head and sighed, "Two consecutive rim-level dunks, Tang Bei has started exceptionally aggressively. The Cats and Birds' morale was already low, and now it is likely to be severely affected."

The Catbirds then went on a shooting spree, failing to score a single point in two minutes.

Three minutes into the first quarter, Tang Bei's pick-and-roll offense was very effective, making all four of his shots, making it 10-0, prompting the Cats and Birds to call a timeout.

Flip Saunders knew the players' mentality was seriously flawed, and he knew the solution: to play his own offense and disrupt Hayward's offense.

Based on this tactical idea, he rearranged the offensive and defensive tactics.

On the defensive end, we used a fouling tactic, preferring to let Tang Bei shoot free throws rather than let him score with a dunk, as it was too demoralizing.

On offense, use pick-and-roll tactics on the perimeter to try and get a feel for the shot as early as possible.

The tactics were planned, but in the following games, the Catbirds, whose morale had plummeted, failed to execute them.

On offense, they continued to miss shots. Tang Bei even rushed to the three-point line and blocked Mark Davis's three-point attempt with a powerful block.

On the defensive end, Tang Bei scored two and-ones against them. Tang Bei also dunked on Redick John during a drive, causing the Cats and Birds' morale to drop again.

At the end of the first quarter, Hai led his team by as many as 17 points, with a score of 28-11.

关键的G4战，唐北打满首节，砍菜切瓜一般轰下19分，8投8中，7罚3中，还有3个篮板2盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

Commentator Pavel Hanks said, "Tang's talent is too good. Even if he doesn't understand tactics or techniques, he has an overwhelming advantage in the CBA just by attacking the basket."

Jalen Jerros continued, "This advantage is so great that tactics can't compensate for the Cats and Birds' weakness in the paint." Pavel Hanks added, "On the defensive end, Tang's athleticism greatly limited the opponent's outside offense, which was also a crucial role."

Jalen Jerros nodded and said, "In Game 1, the Cats and Birds used double-teaming and fouling tactics under the basket to force Tang Bei into a lot of turnovers, violations and fouls, thus winning the game. But they also paid a huge price, with almost all of their interior players injured."

The next quarter then begins.

Maias Lance wanted to extend the lead and not give the Cats and Birds any chance to catch up or catch their breath, so he brought Tang Bei back into the game.

Under Tang Bei's relentless attack, the demoralized Catbirds struggled on both offense and defense, and the point difference continued to widen. By halftime, the Seabirds were leading by 25 points.

In the second half, an unwilling Flip Saunders racked his brains, but the disadvantage in the paint was too great. The two remaining interior players dared not confront Tang Bei, fearing him like a tiger. The decline not only could not be reversed, but it also grew larger and larger.

By the end of the third quarter, Tang Bei had already racked up 38 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 2 steals.

At this point, the Seafarings team had already taken a 36-point lead, forcing the Cats and Birds team to concede defeat, and the final quarter became garbage time.

In the end, the Seaweed team defeated the Catbird team by a margin of 28 points, 53-81, winning the CBA championship with a score of 3-1.

唐北在决赛系列赛中轰下35.8分14篮板1.2助攻6盖帽1抢断5.5失误4.4犯规的数据，不仅率队夺冠，还成为了决赛的MVP。

When Tang Bei held up the championship trophy and the FMVP trophy, he was extremely excited and happy, his face practically beaming with joy.

Twenty days ago, he was homeless on the streets of New York. Twenty days later, he became the champion and MVP of a minor professional basketball league in the United States, with more than three thousand fans cheering for him. This change made him feel like he was dreaming.

"Congratulations, Tang!"

Eric Fleischer and John Liu both sent their congratulations.

"Eric, I have to thank you!"

He said this sincerely to Eric Fleischer.

“It was my luck to see you that evening; we complemented each other,” Eric Fleischer said with a smile.

Afterwards, Tang Bei and his teammates had a brief celebration before giving an interview to the media.

"Tang, what are your expectations for your NBA draft prospects?" a reporter asked.

“I hope to be selected in the lottery,” he replied.

"Do you have higher expectations? Like a top-three pick, or even aiming for the number one pick?" the reporter pressed.

"I did think about the top three, but I didn't think about the first place." He further revealed his thoughts.

"Why?" the reporter pressed.

Tang Bei thought for a moment and replied, "I've heard that Shaquille O'Neal is incredibly talented. He started playing basketball in high school, while I've only just begun to receive professional basketball training."

The reporter asked excitedly, "So you think you're more talented than Alonzo Mourning and Christine Leitner?"

“John, remind Don to answer carefully,” Eric Fleischer whispered in his ear.

After John Liu translated, Tang Bei suddenly realized that this bastard reporter had set a trap for him.

However, he believed the reporter was right; reporters who dare to speak the truth are good reporters.

But he wasn't stupid; he didn't want to continue answering the reporter's questions. Before the reporter could ask another question, another reporter beat him to it.

"Tang, do you have a favorite NBA team?"

"Actually, I'm not very familiar with the NBA."

Which teams have invited you to try out for them?

"There are many, maybe a dozen or so teams."

"Both the Seaweed Team and the Heat are teams in Miami. Would you like the Heat to draft you?"

"Of course I hope so."
