"The battle of Kings Mountain is also a battle of life and death for the Sacramento Kings!"

A day later, Philadelphia.

Wajovia Arena.

On this day, the world is watching, and this season's NBA Finals may have come to the last game.

Although the Kings are fully capable of turning the tables around, the previous series has also proved that the Kings are already a very resilient team, and the spirit of never admitting defeat has long been deeply rooted in their marrow.

However, in the face of the incomparably powerful Philadelphia, with Chen Mu full of firepower, Curry and Korver feeling good, and Iguodala and Butler also finding their best position, facing Philadelphia away, it is still very difficult for the Kings to win.

So in the minds of many people, this game should be the final battle of this round of the series.

Perhaps in more than two hours, the Sacramento Kings will leave this stage completely, bringing their glorious journey to the finals to an end.

"For Philadelphia, there's still a lot of work to be done, but for the Kings, the series has come to its toughest moment." On the side of the commentary stage, the major commentators were in place, Smith was still more focused on serious work, ignoring Barkley, who was eating fried chicken from somewhere, Gu Zi explained: "If the Kings can seize this opportunity and win this game, then the series may still be variable." But in any case, I don't see where the Kings won. ”

"That's your eyes, okay!" Barkley, as always, opened his mouth and said, "With your professionalism, how far can you see?" Did you expect the king to come so far? Yes?? ”

"You seem to have expected it...... Smith rolled his eyes and continued, "Please ignore this snake spirit disease, let's do a simple recap of the last game." ”

The screen was showing the warm-up of the players from both sides, and the highlights of the previous game appeared.

"I believe everyone has noticed that in the last game, although judging from the picture, it still seems to be a scoring confrontation between Chen Mu and Gu Yu. However, Philadelphia's tactical adjustment was in place, and at the critical moment, he boldly handed the ball to Curry to deal with it alone, and finally achieved good results and won the game. ”

"But if we look more closely at the game stats, it's not hard to see that in the last game, the Sacramento Kings grabbed a total of 38 rebounds," Smith said. That's not a particularly bad statistic in the playoffs, on a relatively slow-paced stage. However, compared to the Kings' average of 44 rebounds per game in the regular season, and 42 rebounds per game in the first three rounds of the playoffs, and 38 rebounds per game, it is still a bit bad. ”

"Corresponding to that is the crazy performance of the Philadelphia 76ers in the rebounding scramble."

In the picture, the director cut out the data comparison between the two sides.

Behind the frame of the stats comparison is a man in the Philadelphia No. 5 jersey, who controls almost all the rebounds in the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers, in Game 4 of the Finals, grabbed a total of 57 rebounds. 57 Oh my brothers and sisters, this is the most exaggerated single-game rebounding statistic that has ever appeared in the Finals in the past two decades. ”

Below the total number of rebounds, the rebounding stats that appear after a name are even more shocking.

"Especially the league's well-deserved rebounding king, Chen Mu, a man who has dominated the rebounding list for the past 8 consecutive seasons, grabbed an incredible 27 rebounds in the fourth game."

27 rebounds, what is this concept on the stage of the Finals?

Compared with the performance of the Kings' entire team of 38 rebounds, it can be said that Chen Mu alone has completely defeated the Kings in terms of rebounding competition.

"The scariest thing is those 11 golden frontcourt rebounds." Smith gasped as he uttered the stats, as if he couldn't believe the stats he was seeing were real: "Eight of those 11 offensive rebounds turned into successful secondary offenses." Five of them were scored by Chen Mu himself, plus free throws, and scored 12 points. The remaining three were assists, with Curry hitting two 3-pointers from outside and Korver hitting one. ”

Even if Iguodala and Butler failed to score on the other three passes, Chen Mu's individual frontcourt rebounding performance has already scored a full 21 points for the team. This priceless 21 points is the key to Philadelphia's ability to win against the Kings under the pressure of the Kings' strong offensive firepower! ”

At this time, many fans really noticed that the reason why Philadelphia won Game 4 pushed the Kings to the brink. It's not because of Chen Mu's dazzling singles, beautiful back, and continuous scoring.

It's one after another, terrifying rebounds.

In the game, cousin Gu Yu scored a full 47 points with a shooting rate of more than 60 percent. But all this is useless, in the case of a complete loss of rebounding, no matter how sharp the attack is, it is impossible for the cousin to erase the fact that the whole team has fewer shots than 10 times. ”

Smith said, "Honestly, the Kings have done a good enough job defensively. My cousin made 4 steals alone, and Wei Shao and George also had 2 steals each. Dream Green was also good enough on the defensive end, with 2 blocks and 1 steal, which could not fully show his contribution on the defensive end. As a result, the Kings had five more steals than Philadelphia. ”

"In any evenly matched game, five more tackles means five more quick and easy scoring opportunities. A team like the Kings, who are extremely good at seizing offensive opportunities, also completed the task perfectly, turning all five extra steals into points. Add in three-pointers and free throws, and the Kings scored 14 more points than Philadelphia in steals. ”

However, it is a drop in the bucket.

The Kings' all-time top-notch outside pressing ability did create a fair amount of unnecessary turnovers in Philadelphia. But the rebounding ball was completely suppressed, which made the performance of the outside players useless.

"If the Kings don't solve the rebounding problem, they may still be lucky in this game." On the side of the online commentary stage, Cofan wore a headset and said: "We also carefully looked at the list of Kings players, and it seems that we can't find anyone who can solve this problem." ”

"Bynum's rebounds are good, McGee's rebounds are not bad, and O'Neal Jr. used to be a rebounder, right?" On the side of the Chinese TV commentary, Director Zhang smiled: "But ah, these three people are tied together, and they can't compare to Chen Mu's absolute control over rebounding alone." What is it? This is dominance, real dominance! ”

"Coach Zhang is an old-school commentator, and he has always been very interested in the scramble for rebounds." Yoga nodded, "I also support Director Zhang's point of view this time, but it's not that there is no chance here in Philadelphia. Coach Zhang, Philadelphia made a change in the roster today, and there was a player who had been injured and barely played for a whole season. But today, he was put on the squad. ”

Pointing to the latest version of the roster in front of him, Yoga asked, "What does Coach Zhang think about Reggie Evans' comeback?" Some netizens believe that Evans is making a comeback in the line of fire and is going to be a savior in danger, he was also Chen Mu's rebounding master before, and his rebounding ability is well-known. Can Evans change the Kings' rebounding problems? Will it turn the game around? ”

"Haha, I don't think so."

Director Zhang shook his head without hesitation and said, "Evans is indeed very good, and his rebounding ability is very good." But how old is he now? 34, and we all know that Lao Mei likes to say that he is old enough, if according to what we Chinese say, Evans is already 35. A 35-year-old player, he is an absolute veteran on the pitch. No matter how strong your ability is, you can't beat the grinding of time. You see, I used to be a professional footballer, but now you ask me to go head-to-head with young amateur masters, and I really can't beat it, that's the reason. ”

"You're a little too old...... Yoga couldn't help but laugh.

"In the same way, in my example, I went to play with an amateur. But Evans is playing against the best basketball players in the world in the NBA. Among them is Chen Mu, who may be the strongest rebounder in history, in this case, the age disadvantage will be infinitely magnified. ”

Director Zhang seemed to have a good understanding of this, and there was a trace of bitterness in his words: "You say that this is Evans's savior, and if you want me to say, this is the Kings who are sick and rushed to the hospital." Not being able to get on Evans at this time, it doesn't make much difference. ”

Moreover, Evans is almost a negative role on the offensive end, he doesn't shoot when he wants to shoot, he doesn't break through when he wants to break through, and he dribbles and passes the ball in a mess. In the past, he was able to gain a foothold in the league by relying on terrifying high-efficiency rebounding scrambles.

Now, in the face of the league's rebounding champion, to have an advantage in grabbing rebounds, which is extremely physical?

Impossible.

"That's what they say."

On the Kings bench, the warm-up between the two sides has ended, and the manic Wachovia and Phil Jackson gathered the players together, and they did not speak, but asked the assistant coach to read the comments of the major media to everyone.

As soon as the last sentence was uttered, the expressions of the Kings players all changed.

"Hehe, that's pretty much what it means." Phil Jackson laughed, "What do you guys think? ”

"Is it a fantasy......?" In Dream Chaser's eyes, a flame was rising: "If we can do it, will we be considered part of the gods?" ”

"Something that most people think is fun if we can break it up." Paul George was shoelace-ups, his eyes staring at the floor, but his voice was trembling slightly.

Trembling with excitement.

"it! I've come here, grandpa, I'm not ready to lose! Wei Shao clenched his fists, clenched his teeth, and glanced back at Gu Yu, who had been silent: "Hind legs, what do you say??? ”

"The word Arabian Nights ......"

Gu Yu stretched out his hand and took off the sports jacket on his body, and his eyes flashed with fine light.

"I've been tired of hearing ...... this way!"

Sacramento Kings ......

“FOR-THE-FXXKING-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN——！！！”
