Chapter 306: The Emperor's Defense

“TIMEOUT! TIMEOUT!! ”

The game came to the second half of the third quarter, the two teams were still the main players, but the trend of the main players' physical decline was very obvious, at this time McMillan shouted a timeout, one is to restore the players' physical strength, and the other is to calm down the team's starting power forward.

"Lamarcus ......"

Back on the bench, the players and coaches were a little unbearable, looking at Aldridge sitting on the sidelines, looking depressed, looking at the court with blank eyes, as if they were looking at the past that they didn't want to recall, and couldn't say a word.

"Let's change guards."

Eventually, it was McMillan who spoke.

On Aldridge's side, Oden has already scored 9 rebounds and 2 blocks in the half, helping to make up for defense, and rebounding and scrambling for rebounds have shown good natural defensive qualities.

Everyone knows that Aldridge's defense is not bad, but it is definitely not good, he is a big forward who is strong in attack and weak in defense, and the weakness mentioned here is only relative to his offense, not that he is weak in the absolute sense.

In the face of the general power forward, Ade's defense is enough, after all, the era of the four big forwards has slowly passed, in the league, in addition to the still strong Dirk, Garnett, Duncan, Webber is on the verge of retirement, Rashid has declined and it is difficult to play a wonderful performance, few young players have reached the core level of the team, except for the ineffective Randolph, Boozer and others, other big forwards against Ade, all have to be crushed.

However, today you are facing Chen Mu!

is the Chinese kid who has worked hard since he lost the draft and has now become the absolute core of the team, and his strength is ...... Indeed above you.

No one said this sentence, and everyone knew very well what kind of fighting spirit was hidden under Aldridge's delicate face. At this point, the results on the court have proven everything, and Ade has 10 points and 4 rebounds since the opening. The shooting percentage was 4 of 15 shots, which is not an exaggeration to say that it was miserable.

And what about Chen Mu, who is in the opposite position?

27 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, no assists.

Yes, so far in this game, Chen Mu has not assisted, not because of how clever the Trail Blazers' defensive strategy is, which completely limits Chen Mu's good passing skills. It's Chen Mu, from the beginning, he didn't intend to play as a passing axis and an offensive beacon.

His purpose. It was already obvious at the beginning.

Storm Aldridge and completely destroy Aldridge with continuous offensive flames.

Today, it's done.

“…… Good. ”

After being silent for a long time, Aldridge lowered his head and said softly, "Change the guard." ”

“…… Well! ”

With Ade's approval, McMillan also breathed a sigh of relief, took out the tactical board and began to write and draw, sorting out the offensive and defensive priorities after the change of defense.

The players listened attentively. There was no emotional fluctuation on Ade's face, he just listened blankly, and nodded from time to time, indicating that he understood.

But. There are also attentive fans who can see from the TV screen that Aldridge's hands are near his knees, fists, clenched very tightly.

Still unwilling......!

Aldridge's heart. How can you be willing? has been bursting from the beginning, from the first minute of the game, to the current continuous two plus one. Chen Mu has already scored 27 points, and if he hits a free throw at the end of a timeout, it will be 28 points.

In less than three quarters, the contribution of 28 points, is it necessary for Chen Mu to score 40 points in the whole game? ?

That's right, Chen Mu's offense is very strong, which was already evident last season. Last season's Chen Mu averaged about 17 points per game like today's Ade. In today's era of declining interior lines, a power forward can make such a scoring contribution, and it can definitely be regarded as a first-line rank.

So far this season, Chen Mu's average points per game have broken through the 23-point mark, approaching those outside scorers. No one will doubt that in another two years, Chen Mu's average score will definitely exceed 25 points, and he will completely become the inner hegemon in the new era. But Chen Mu's offense has always been known for its stability, and there have been outbreaks or something, but there are very few.

At the beginning of his career, Chen Mu experienced the instability that all rookies will experience, with scoring data fluctuating high and low, and was once known as a wave-like scorer, sometimes bullish, sometimes stupid.

But since becoming the core of the 76ers' offense, Chen Mu's performance has been extremely calm, if Chen Mu's scoring data per game is drawn on the XY two-dimensional range, the lines are quite stable, which is also the key to many people's comparison between Chen Mu and Duncan.

Career-high? In the third game of last season, Chen Mu scored 34 points, and he was unstoppable in the face of the Warriors, which was already his most explosive performance. As a player who has averaged more than 23 points per game, the highest score is only 34 points, which is also the black spot where many Chen Muhei lashed out at Chen Mu.

But what about this game?

Well, 28 points is not too exaggerated, according to Chen Mu's style of court, as long as the opponent makes targeted defensive adjustments, sooner or later Chen Mu will enter the state of the tactical axis, and distribute the ball more reasonably, rather than attacking to the end alone, the final scoring data will not be high.

But right now, if the Trail Blazers don't change their defenses, if Ade continues to grit his teeth to the end, 40 points? Or even 50 points? Isn't it impossible?

"We noticed that in the picture that was just sent back, the Trail Blazers seem to have made some major strategic adjustments. Coach Zhang, what do you think the Trail Blazers need to do if they want to win on the road? Yoga asked.

"We have to change our guards." Director Zhang said: "Although this is a bit cruel for Aldridge, a young player, but ah, if he didn't change the defense, Chen Mu would probably maintain such an efficient scoring performance throughout the game." It must be a good thing for Chen Mu's fans, everyone wants to see what will happen when Chen Mu is on full fire, but for the Trailblazers, it is definitely a nightmare. ”

"You're right, so if the Trail Blazers change their defense and use Oden to defend Chen Mu, what adjustments will Chen Mu have to make to maintain the team's lead?" Yoga asks.

"Keep attacking, at least for two or three rounds. Then he had to continue to score efficiently, so that Oden could only defend Chen Mu with all his strength, and had no time to take care of the overall defense. In this way, the 76ers can open other points and live. Director Zhang replied.

"Makes sense, okay, we see that the timeout is over and the game continues to start."

Back on the scene, the timeout ended, the players of the two teams came on the court, and Chen Mujia hit the penalty. In his 28th personal score, the difference between the two teams came to 10 points.

"Steady and steady, get it back one ball at a time!"

Blake controlled the ball and pushed forward, shouting from time to time to remind the players to be aware of the space on the court. Although the actual ball handler of the Trail Blazers is Roy, Blake is more experienced after all, and this kind of morale-boosting and stabilizing mentality is more appropriate for Blake.

Attacking in the frontcourt, after a timeout adjustment, the Trail Blazers ran a wonderful burst of cooperation. Webster hit a three-pointer to bring the deficit back to seven points.

"Good shot! Played beautifully! ”

The one-shot hit boosted morale and the mentality of the Trail Blazers players improved greatly. Give each other a round of applause to encourage your teammates.

Next, it is necessary to guard against the Chinese kid ......!

Oden, who had just made a wonderful cover for Webster and helped him score a three-pointer, had his eyes like torches and his hands were spread. The defensive control surface is staggering.

Finally changed the guard......!

Chen Mu came to the front court and saw that Ade had stepped aside, and behind him was Oden to defend him. It was clear to me that the Trailblazers still couldn't stop their offensive frenzy and switched defenses.

Be sure to score!

Be sure to guard against it!

The two, the two super beasts on the inside of the future alliance, finally faced off for the first time on the field.

"Blow him up !!"

The moment Chen Mu got the ball, the fans were already in a commotion, and many radical fans were enthusiastic, shouting for Chen Mu to continue his offensive flames.

Before Oden entered the league, everything about the Great was already about the fans and the media. The hard talent of this big man is still above Chen Mu, and it can even be said that he is above all the inside lines in the whole league except for O'Neal, and O'Neill is old, and the future internal overlord of the alliance seems to be in Oden's bag.

This argument is undoubtedly harsh for Philadelphia fans, you have Oden, we have Chen Mu! In terms of age, although you Auden is young, you are still a year older than Chen Mu! Isn't it just taller, stronger, more amazing reach, and no loss of bouncing power? Our Chen Mu is not bad!

Belch...... In this way, the gap between Chen Mu and Auden in terms of hard talent is still relatively obvious......

But no matter what, today our Chen Dashen feels bursting, what Aldridge is, he is also very arrogant, isn't it a break from our Chen Dashen at this time? Oden? And what about the Great? It's just a rookie, can it be compared to our Chen Dashen?? Can you? Can you??

The answer is, yes.

"Bang!"

In the face of Oden, Chen Mu naturally had to give full play to his small advantage in speed, turned his back to turn the face frame once, and followed the face frame to strengthen, Chen Mu's offensive choice was no problem, but when the basketball shot, the big black man who was left behind him a moment ago suddenly somehow stretched out his hand and flew out of the hat with Chen Mu's basketball from behind.

“…… Roar!!! ”

Once he made a block, Oden was full of fighting spirit, roared in the sky, and the Wajovia Center Arena instantly fell silent.

Aldridge, who had been tortured by Chen Mu for the whole time, saw that his teammates came up with a face-to-face strong block, and directly covered the damn Chinese boy stupidly.

Relieve your anger!

Aldridge was tempted to step up to celebrate with Oden's chest, but at this time, he was "replaced" due to poor defense, and stepped forward to celebrate with his well-behaved successor, which looked a little ......

Anyway, celebrate first!

“NICEBLOCK!”

Ade and Auden high-fived fiercely, and looked back at the thoughtful Chen Mu, and there was actually some darkness in his heart.

Calling you arrogant! (To be continued......)
