What's the best way to stop a defensive rim master, especially a good shooter, from shooting and scoring?

This may seem like a complicated question, but those of you who have played basketball, especially those who love to defend outside shooters, must know that the answer is actually very simple.

That's to cover the ball.

This sentence seems to be nonsense, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand the truth when you think about it carefully.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT A SHOOTING PLAYER IS NOT THE FEEL, NOT THE POSITION, NOT THE DISTANCE TRAVELED, NOT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATCH&SHOOT AND DRIBBLE&SHOOT.

It's the rhythm.

Each pitcher has their own rhythm, and everyone's rhythm is different, some are used to making feints before shooting, some are used to pressing their knees very low before shooting, some barely move their lower body, and some do not raise their hands above their heads, and go out with a flick of their wrists (yes, Marion is talking about you).

If the defender can understand the shooting habits of the shooter and intervene in his own way to disrupt his rhythm, the defense is considered a complete success.

The best way to interfere with a pitcher's rhythm is, of course, to block.

"Bang!"

After Chris Bosh threw his hand in the lean, before the basketball could fly to the highest point, a flying eagle rose from the ground and slapped it down in the air, sending the basketball fan flying.

The basketball went out of bounds, Bosh and Chen Mu landed at the same time, the former's face was full of shock, and the latter's face was like "everything is under control".

"This ball...... How can you cover ......?! ”

Looking up at the basket, Bosh was a little puzzled.

With his own shot just now, there was a face frame in front of him that shook Chen Mu's center of gravity, forcing his center of gravity to be backward and difficult to step forward quickly. The back has a back turn to open up the space, further widening the distance between the two. At the end, he also had a backward lean, and the arc was much higher than usual.

After such a move, when Bosh made a shot, the basketball and Chen Mu had already taken a big step away, and to cover this kind of shooting, let alone Chen Mu, even Yao Ming couldn't do it.

But Chen Mu still did it.

What the hell is going on? Why can even such a shot be covered??

With doubts, Bosh received a pass from the outside player again and continued to play alone in the face of Chen Mu.

This time, Bosh walked to the middle, leaned on the ball with his right hand, and rushed to the basket against Chen Mu's body, and then suddenly took a step back, opening up a big step of space.

"So how can you defend!"

Bosh, who has the skill of holding the ball as a small forward, walked cleanly and neatly with this retreat, completely shook Chen Mu away, and then immediately threw the ball.

However, at the moment of the basketball shot, Bosh once again felt how incredible the Chinese kid in front of him was.

Chen Mu kicked his right foot behind him at the moment he was pulled away by Bosh, and then took half a step forward with his left foot, stepped on it hard, and the whole person jumped forward, and actually jumped into the air quickly again, and fanned the basketball away with a bang!

"Attack!"

This time, it was Chen Mu's turn to shout out the fast attack, the basketball was won by Iverson, the backcourt elves quickly attacked, and You Long generally played TJ Ford with a gorgeous dribble, and then scored a layup.

11 to 9, the 76ers played a small ** at home!

"Even, two consecutive face-to-face cover Bosh shots! HOHO！ The Chinese kid is powerful again! ”

On the comment seat, Barkley was very excited, dancing and imitating the movements of Chen Mu's cap, and said loudly: "This physical fitness, this reaction ability, this bullet speed, the two big hats are sturdy, it's so relieving!" ”

"No, no, Sir Charles, you're wrong."

Kenny Smith shook his head and said, "You've never been a pitcher, so you don't understand the mystery. What the Chinese kid did just now was not just as simple as covering Bosh's two shots, and then, there was a good show to watch! ”

On the court, the 76ers attacked, and Chen Mu asked for the ball at the waist position, continuing to play the important role of the tactical core.

Sweeping his eyes around, Chen Mu was like a stadium scanner, remembering everyone's running positions in his heart, and then began to deduce quickly.

Behind Chen Mu, Bosh knew that it was powerful, and he didn't dare to relax like in the last round, sticking to Chen Mu's back, and interfering with Chen Mu's ball selection from time to time with both hands.

In the bottom corner of the strong side, Korver had no chance, and on the weak side, Iverson and Iguodala switched, Hunter made a cover, and Iverson had an empty space in the middle.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Mu's pass whistled, and after Iverson received the ball, Ford rushed up and didn't give the former MVP a chance to shoot.

"Kyle!"

After sending the pass, Chen Mu was not in a hurry, and immediately rushed to the bottom corner, and made eye contact with Korver, and the two came to cover without the ball.

Solid to block defender Anthony Parker, Korver rushed to the basket with Chen Mu's secondary cover.

Iverson caught a glimpse of the baseline at the free-throw line, struck a pass, and the basketball came to Korver's with precision.

"A three-point shooter still thinks of being able to go to the basket?!"

Nesterovic was like an iron tower under the basket, and when he saw Korver's eyes wide when he saw the ball rushing towards him, he turned around and raised his hands high, and he was about to give Korver a big hat.

The ball moved, Korver rushed to the basket, but Chen Mu continued to walk to the upper line, winked at Iverson, and the two came to cover with a understanding.

It was still Chen Mu's cover, Iverson came out from the other side, Chen Mu and Iverson completed the switch, Iverson came to the bottom line on the strong side, and Chen Mu came to the free throw line half a step.

Three consecutive off-ball screens, although they may not necessarily create a killing chance, but Bosh has more or less seen the clues. When Chen Mu has no ball in his hand, he is basically a role of covering the human wall, without extraordinary escape skills, and he does not have the upper hand in the face of Bosh on his feet, and basically will not participate in the follow-up attack.

So at the moment when Iverson used cover to kill, Bosh habitually stepped forward to delay, and then immediately turned back to get ready to grab the rebound.

And at this moment, Chen Mu's layout was completely completed.

Under the basket, Korver faced Nesterovic's defense and suddenly stopped the ball, causing the Slovenian big man to rush forward.

This save gave Chen Mu, who had just finished covering Iverson and focused everyone's attention on Iverson, a chance to impact the basket.

"Whoosh!"

Nesterovich was like a giant tower pressing, Korver didn't want to step forward to resist, hurriedly turned back, and saw Chen Mu rushing to the inside line at a glance, and made a straight shot.

After receiving the basketball, Chen Mu saw that no one could stop him anymore.

"Bang !!"

With both hands buckled angrily, Chen Mu grabbed the basket and did a pull-up, and then slapped the rebound high with his right hand, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

“…… Wow!!! ”

This violent slam shocked all four, and the anger that had been suppressed for a long time by the fans finally got a chance to vent, almost screaming frantically.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful!! ”

"Incredible! Chinese boy, dunk the basket! Ha ha! ”

On the court, Chen Mu didn't say a word, and glanced at Korver in the process of returning to defense, and the two young men nodded to each other coldly, and then each stretched out his hand to point to each other to show his gratitude.

“TIMEOUT！ TIMEOUT！ ”

After consecutive offensive and defensive errors, Raptors coach Sam Mitchell was so impatient that he called a timeout.

"It's dizzying!"

On the comment bench, Smith was also dumbfounded, looking at the constantly replaying pictures on the screen, the boss with his mouth open, watched it several times before he spoke: "Fans, take a closer look!" What is off-the-ball tricks? What is basketball IQ called? What is called crushing basketball wisdom! ”

"Take a closer look at the Chinese kid's running and movements! First it was a regular high pick-and-roll, and then the baseline cover sent Korver to the bottom corner. Then he received the ball and pretended to be the tactical core, and when the cover of Allen and Steven on the weak side was over, he sent a pass, making everyone think that this tactical cooperation would end here, and then it was Allen's heads-up moment. ”

"But it's far from over!"

Kenny Smith used a touchscreen pen to draw on the screen, and as the picture slowly moved, he analyzed Chen Mu's wonderful tactical choices.

The moment Allen received the ball, the Chinese kid covered Kyle again and sent him through the back door to cut inside. And then Allen passes, how's that? One more move, the tactics should end here, right? ”

"If you all think so, you're wrong again!"

"Kyle hits the basket with the ball, and the Chinese kid goes up to Allen to cover, if you're Bosh, what would you choose?"

Faced with Smith's question, Barkley shook his head and said, "Of course it's a hard punch to knock Aaron over!" ”

"Of course, I thought that the Chinese kid was just another off-ball cover!" Ignoring Barkley's commotion, Smith continued to analyze: "However, this is the point, it is this mindset that has become the killer feature of the Chinese kid!" ”

"The last cover for Allen looks like it's going to send Allen to the weak side, but it's actually to get Bosh's attention so that he can get a chance to get out of the defense!"

On the screen, Chen Mu continued to run, Bosh was distracted for a moment, Korver's pass was in place, and Chen Mu scored violently.

"Even if you don't have the ball, you can still be the heart of the game!"

Smith's impassioned analysis finally came to an end, the timeout on the court was over, and the game continued.

Back on the court, Bosh, who had been played continuously, was angry, and Coach Mitchell also gave a tactical arrangement: continue to attack Bosh and consume Chen Mu on the defensive end!

Receiving the ball at the waist position, all the Raptors players quickly opened up the space, and Bosh faced Chen Mu again, one-on-one heads-up!

For two rounds in a row, he rolled over and threw a mid-range shot, but fortunately Bosh had enough weapons in his arsenal, and this time, he dribbled two steps forward with the ball, then quickly dribbled under his hips, and then made a pull-up jumper.

"I don't believe you can come down every ball!"

With such a spirit, Bosh chose to shoot again, he knew very well that if he didn't score again this time, not only his confidence would be affected, but the team's morale would also be low, and it would be even more difficult to score points on top of Chen Mu's head in the future.

Chen Mu also thinks so.

The moment Bosh made a move, Chen Mu jumped almost at the same time, and the starting point was still half a step away, and then he relied on the speed of the bullet to rush into the air, staring at the basketball with both eyes, and slapped the ...... with his right hand! (To be continued.) )
