Chapter 183: The Undervalued Man (I)

"Miller!"

Chen Mu shouted, Miller handed the basketball into the former's hands without hesitation, and he quickly ran to the bottom corner and began to cover for Korver.

"The main Chinese kid at the beginning, do you want to start eating alone from Tony......?"

Seeing the posture of the 76ers, Bryan Hill nodded slightly, needless to say Cheeks, even he thought that the 76ers would definitely use this method to score points on the offensive end.

As mentioned earlier, the two teams may be evenly matched, but coincidentally, the comparison of players in each position seems to be that the 76ers are behind.

In particular, the suppression of the two key points of the center and the scoring guard gave the Magic the confidence to play an extremely slow half-court offense, and there was no need to worry about being disintegrated by the 76ers' outside range.

You must know that since the beginning of the season, the three strongest offensive methods of the 76ers are undoubtedly as follows: 1. Miller and Chen Mu's back-to-back singles; Second, Iguodala's quick raid with the ball; 3. The three-point bombardment of Korver and Carney.

And the Magic team is exactly what they are most afraid of these three points, Miller's back singles, and he will lose most of his power when he meets Nelson. Iguodala has the ball and makes a quick raid, and the Magic's Nelson and Howard both have the ability to chase down the defense. And the three-point shots of Korver and Carney will be blocked by Hill, as well as Ariza and Bogans on the bench.

So at the moment, there is only one way for the 76ers to open up the situation on the offensive end:

That is Chen Mu's singles.

After receiving the basketball, Chen Mu quickly leaned back, Barty's strength was on par with himself, and even slightly stronger than Chen Mu, it was impossible to use his strength to eat alone like he had done with Murphy before.

"With your feet!"

Chen Mu was sure, and immediately began to dribble and turn, bypassing the half of the penalty area guarded by Howard, making a feint to the bottom line, shaking Barty's center of gravity, and then suddenly turning sideways. A right-handed hook, the basketball is lightly put into the frame.

"Good shot!"

Iguodala was very excited, and was dunked by Howard in the first round after the opening, which undoubtedly had a certain blow to the morale of the 76ers. Back to it. Although Chen Mu's offense was not as domineering as Howard's, it was also practical and effective, and it was also two points, and the two teams returned to the balance of power.

"Tony Batty, good strength in the lower limbs. The offensive means are relatively poor, almost only half volleys, and defending this kind of opponent is my strength, so I don't have to worry. ”

Seeing that the Magic team began to advance the attack, Chen Mu also began to quickly calculate in his heart, planning the next tactical choice.

"Barty's defensive focus is a bit of a problem, although the footwork and defense are quite positive, but it is relatively easy to get shaken, and the foul problem on the defensive end is also very serious, as long as these two weaknesses are targeted. We won't fall under the basket! ”

Chen Mu's judgment is based on the experience of watching the game in the original timeline, although Tony Barty was the fifth pick in the first round in 1997 and his height reached 2.11 meters, but the problem on the defensive end has not been solved throughout his career.

On the offensive end, Barty has a good half-volley and a reliable midrange shot near the free throw line. But don't forget, Chen Mu may still have some problems dealing with the back master, but in the face of the mid-pitcher, his defense can be called a quasi-master.

"Tony Barty has an average speed when he shoots from the middle, but maybe it's because of his height. I don't seem to like jumpers in the real sense of the word. As long as I can judge the timing of his shot, and take advantage of my bounce speed and mobility, it is not difficult to cover the basketball! ”

The Magic attacked, and Nelson was still controlling the rhythm and slowly advancing. After coming to the frontcourt, the outside line passed the ball to Hill, who quickly sank into the bottom corner, and the Magic put on a typical inside-outside line formation in the middle of the half.

Hill's one-handed pass is also very sharp, and his vision of the court is even above Iguodala, which can be regarded as one of the representatives of the all-round striker. Although the years have taken away his swift first steps and bounces. But basketball wisdom will only accumulate more and more, appearing mellow and full of wisdom.

In the bottom corner of the weak side, Turkoglu began to move high and Barty took a cover to send the former to the high post.

Hill passed the ball instantly, Tekoglu received the ball and gave it away, and the basketball came to Barty impartially. The veteran just got the ball at the free throw line, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately took a shot.

"Hey, I really won the shot!"

Chen Mu was overjoyed in his heart, strode forward, stepped on it and took off, and slapped it down the moment the basketball flew in Barty's hand.

"Bang!"

The basketball was stunned by the sound of the fan, and before Barty could land, Iguodala had already grabbed the basketball in the air with one lunge, and turned around to launch a fast attack.

"Organize the Striker!"

At this time, Turkoglu was still in the three-point line and did not have time to turn, and Iguodala's speed advantage was reflected, and he strode forward with the dribble, came to the three-point line, and sent a cross.

Korver arrived at the ball, received the basketball jump, and was about to make a three-point shot, but behind him, Nelson had already let go of Miller, who was not a threat from the outside, and walked quickly to Korver's side to interfere.

At this time, a yellow-skinned figure strode towards the basket from outside the three-point line, and Korver had an idea, and his hand was already in a shooting position, but the basketball was thrown high and did not hit the basket directly.

“ALLEY-OOP!”

Korver's pass was a little bigger, but it was not a problem for Chen Mu, who was sprinting at full speed, and saw him take off with a bang, catch the basketball with both hands in the air, and his body had come to the side of the basket.

"Buckle in!"

Chen Mu was full of fighting spirit in his heart, made an extremely stretched pull rod action, twisted his body in the air, and dunked the ball to the basket with both hands.

As long as this ball is hit, the psychological advantage of the Magic team brought by Howard's violent dunk in the opening game will be completely dismantled, and both players can return to the same running line to continue the game, and victory is not a fantasy!

Chen Mu looked sideways at the basket, the basketball in his hand was about to fall, but at this moment, a black shadow shrouded the sky from behind him.

"Is this ......?!"

Chen Mu was startled, the momentum of the basketball could not be retracted, and he buckled to the basket. The speed of the black shadow behind him was even faster than Chen Mu expected, almost like a sky net that suddenly lay out, appearing between the basketball and the basket.

"Smack!"

The powerful and heavy block, Dwight Howard descended from the sky like a divine soldier, I don't know where it came out, and a "miserable" block slammed Chen Mu's inevitable dunk and flew out!

“…… WOOOOOOOW!!! ”

The Amway Center Arena was bursting in an instant. The fans were completely aroused by the wonderful attack and defense in this moment, and many fans stood up from their seats and shouted loudly to applaud the wonderful performance of the team's backbone.

“WOOO-HA!”

After landing, Howard let out a funny yell. Turning around and revealing that trademark smile, he looked at the stunned Chen Mu, made a movement with both hands when Superman was flying, and laughed loudly: "If you cover Tony, I will cover you!" Hahaha! ”

Chen Mu knew. This is due to Howard's character, and there is no special malice, but it is the living treasure-like personality that causes him to have to "snort".

But such a wonderful fast attack was covered by Howard, which still made Chen Mu a little dull, and he only felt that his face began to be hot for a while, and his expression was not good-looking.

Dwight Howard, what a sports machine that is ahead of its time!

"Don't care, keep attacking!"

Miller's shout woke Chen Mu up, sighed and shook his head. Run to the sidelines, ready to send a sideline ball.

"Howard early in his career, the speed was incredible."

Sending out the sideline ball, Chen Mu couldn't help but look back at the distance between himself and his own basket, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

After giving out the big hat, Chen Mu barely paused, and immediately started to run from near the free throw line. At that time, Howard was still in the basket and Hunter was in the card position, and there was at least a few meters between him and Chen Mu.

During the entire fast attack process, Chen Mu did not dribble, and there was no compromise in speed. Almost full speed ahead. If it weren't for Korver's slightly larger pass, there would have been no doubt that this aerial relay would have been successful.

But it was this little difference in strength that caused Chen Mu to adjust his step point before jumping. In order to dunk smoothly after receiving the basketball, Chen Mu's starting point was slightly biased to the side of the basket. After the take-off. In order to receive the basketball, Chen Mu also made some adjustments to his body position.

It was this little bit of adjustment that gave Howard time and space to catch up. This ancient giant beast used his super strong body, which had not yet become a barrel of explosives under the basket in the future, to run all the way to catch up with Chen Mu's speed, and successfully blocked from the side and back.

Such physical qualities. Even if you count the defensive monster Garnett that he faced last season, Chen Mu has never encountered it.

In the face of such an opponent, can you really pick up the rebound above his head?

The 76ers attacked again, this time Miller appeared much more composed, and after some command, the basketball was handed to Iguodala, who immediately began to run back, shaking off Turkoglu and heading straight to the basket.

“I’MHERE!”

Howard shouted and pushed Hunter behind him, but the small movement did not attract the attention of the referee, and he faced the onrushing Iguodala and prepared to jump and block.

Iguodala didn't slow down, and when he came to the basket, he suddenly stopped, made a feint, and directly shook Howard, who was not yet in perfect defensive awareness, and then immediately threw a backward jumper.

"This ball is here!"

As soon as the basketball is shot, Iguodala clenches his fists, and the shot feels very smooth, and the basketball has no problem with the path and arc rotation, and after half a second, the basketball will be in the frame, and the team can regain the lead.

Iguodala, however, still underestimated Howard's superhuman body.

"Smack!"

After landing, Howard's bullet speed was even more amazing than Chen Mu's, and he actually shot at the moment when the basketball was about to enter the highest point, and his right hand was raised, like a towering stone pillar under the terrifying arm span, and the basketball was fanned again.

“GOALTENDING!”

Cheeks, who was on the sidelines, panicked and put pressure on the referee loudly. However, the referee shook his head and did not blow the interference ball, but gave the 76ers another sideline ball.

“DAMN!”

Iguodala stomped on the ground hard, her expression unsightly.

Not far in front of him, Howard was laughing loudly and waving to the fans, surrounded by his teammates.

The fangs of the prehistoric beast finally bite the body of the 76 people fiercely, and as long as they take another bite, the visitors from Philadelphia will completely fall into the abyss and turn over. (To be continued.) )
