"Whew!"

Chen Mu stepped down in one step, and the whole person was like a missile, rising from the ground, jumping high, and stretching his hands forward to reach the basketball that was flying in the air.

"Huh......?"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Chen Mu felt that something was wrong, although the height of the ball was not bad, but there seemed to be some problems with the route, it was too far back, and the rotation was strong, and the feeling of catching it was very bad.

"Could it be that Nash made a passing error?"

As soon as this idea flashed in his mind, he was immediately rejected by Chen Mu.

Nash is an MVP player, and in the original timeline, Nash won the MVP again this season, if you want to talk about passing skills, especially the ability to pass the ball in the air, I am afraid there are few people in the league who can compare with Nash.

Would a player of this calibre pass a bad ball in such an unconfrontational moment as a pre-match warm-up? Think about it and know it's impossible.

"Since it wasn't accidentally broken, there is only one answer......

Chen Mu pulled his hands back, his body was already in front of the basket, but the ball flew behind him, he wrapped his long arms, reached the basketball, and then pulled it forward.

"Nash wants to test my abilities......!"

Chen Mu adjusted his body shape in the air, and with his good physical fitness, he actually twisted his waist in the air and made a half-turn movement, and then used his hands to exert his strength and slammed his back into the frame.

"Bang!"

The ball buckle was clean and neat, although the position of the ball was not good, and the rotation was strong, which affected Chen Mu's position and feel of receiving the ball. But with the forced rotation in the air, Chen Mu used this small period of time to adjust his hand movements in place, and a back buckle blasted out, completing this beautiful air relay.

“…… Wow! ”

The scene on the warm-up field also attracted the attention of the audience, and many people exchanged words with curiosity, full of curiosity about the Chinese big man just signed by the team.

"Yo, Charles, did you see that?"

On the sideline broadcast seat, Kenny Smith also noticed Chen Mu's actions, and couldn't help but stare at the boss with his eyes, and said in surprise: "The empty back buckle just now is quite chic, the action is very stretched, and the sense of power is full!" I look, the back number is five...... Well, this guy is the Chinese big man who was just signed by the Suns, Chen! ”

"Well~It's okay~"

The big-mouthed Barkley obviously didn't buy Chen Mu's performance, shook his head slightly and said: "Judging from this ball, his physical fitness is not bad, maybe he can be compared with our black athletes, but it's just an empty catch, everyone in the NBA can do it, it's nothing great." ”

Barkley flipped through the Suns player materials prepared by the staff before the game, found the page where Chen Mu was, and continued after reading it carefully: "It is said that this Chen's offensive skills are very bad, and the rebounding is slightly better, but except for Dennis, no one has ever been able to convince me in grabbing rebounds, no one!" ”

"Unless this kid can come off the bench and average more than 10 rebounds per game, he won't be a rebounding master!"

That's right, Charles Barkley does have the capital to say such a thing, after all, as the former NBA rebounding king, Barkley's rebounding skills are also a must. And Dennis Rodman, the only one he was convinced of, was a wonder in NBA history, winning 7 consecutive rebounding titles from 1992 to 1998.

For Ross Barkley, who has fought against opponents of the level of Rodman and the four centers, a newcomer to China is not enough to enter his eyes.

"Hehe, Charles, are you asking too much?" Kenny Smith laughed, "Remember the year we made a bet on whether Yao could score 20 points in a single game?" At that time, you also swore that as long as Yao scored 20 points, you would kiss my ass. As a result, didn't he kiss the donkey's ass in the end? Hahaha~"

"Well, that's two different things!" was revealed, Barkley's old face turned red, and the fat on his face shook and said: "If you don't believe it, let's make another bet, if he grabs more than 10 rebounds in this game, I won't kiss your ass, I won't kiss your ass, I won't kiss the donkey's butt, and eat a sneaker directly in the studio!" ”

"Hahaha, okay, it's a word!"

Kenny Smith had already laughed, although he knew in his heart that Barkley's gamble was almost impossible to lose, because it was unknown whether a young man who had just signed a ten-day contract would be able to play in this game. Even if you have the opportunity to play, it is estimated that it will be garbage time, not to mention grabbing 10 rebounds, it is estimated that you may not even be able to touch the ball.

But for the sake of the show, Kenny Smith still laughed and accepted Barkley's gamble, which attracted an expectation from audiences across the United States.

"Chen, good job."

On the field, Nash walked to Chen Mu with a smile, and said gracefully while slapping the ball: "I didn't expect me to pass like that on purpose, you can still complete the air relay, and your body control is very good." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Chen Mu said with a smile: "I hope that during the game, I can also receive your pass." ”

“……”

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Nash was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with a burst of wisdom, and he carefully looked at the confident Chinese man in front of him, and then said with a smile: "A word is a certainty!" ”

"Bang!"

"Oh oh oh!"

While the two were chatting, on the warm-up half of the Nets on the other side, the demigod Vince Carter performed a 360-degree two-handed dunk, which ignited the enthusiasm of the audience. The newcomers on the Suns' side performed in the air, and they were quickly forgotten by everyone.

Half an hour later, the Suns' home court lights dimmed, the chasing light played, the live DJ enthusiastically introduced the Suns' starting list, and after a gorgeous appearance ceremony, the game began.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, the basketball was thrown high, and the centers on both sides jumped high, although Kostic was taller, but Dior, who had amazing jumping ability, easily dialed the basketball, and the Suns had the ball!

The basketball was constantly flapping on the ground, and with Nash leading the way, the Suns' offense began.

In the stands, the audience chanted enthusiastically, constantly cheering for the home team, Chen Mu wore a long-sleeved training uniform, and sat at the end of the bench wearing the No. 5 jersey with the word "CHEN" printed on the back.

Eddie House, who is also a substitute player, walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of water by himself, and said to Chen Mu, who looked nervous, while drinking: "Hey, Chinese brother, don't be nervous, you don't have playing time in this game." ”

"No matter what, I'm ready to play at any time." Chen Mu responded with a smile.

"Good spirit, self-confidence, I like it, hahaha!"

House is also temperamental, sat down next to Chen Mu with a smile, pointed to the players who were playing on the field and said, "Come, tell me, how much do you know about the opponent's inside?" ”

"Well, the inside of the Nets......"

In Chen Mu's mind, he recalled the impression of each player when watching the game and playing the game in the original timeline, and said: "The right forward Kostic is accurate, the mid-range shot is accurate, the pace is slow, and the defense is hard, but he is very thin and weak, and his confrontation ability is average. ”

"Clifford Robinson, the range can reach beyond the three-point line, but he is too old, his athleticism has been lost, his defensive strength is average, and his blocking and stealing ability is average."

"There's Jason Collins on the bench, slow on his feet, but he's got a good body, he's tough defensively, and he's great at defending in the low post. But I don't have any offensive ability, and my offensive skills are about the same as mine, haha! ”

"Padgett is a three-point shot off the bench, but he doesn't pose much of a threat inside, just pay attention to his outside shot."

Chen Mu made a brief and accurate analysis, and when he heard it, House was stunned in place, forgetting to drink the water in his hand, and the boss with his mouth open, was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said: "Boy, you know a lot!" ”

Haha, of course!

Chen Mu was secretly happy in his heart, did he really think that so many games were played in vain?

In the original timeline, Chen Mu can be said to be a fanatic of basketball games, not to mention popular teams like the Suns and Nets, any player of any team in the league, his ability, strengths and weaknesses, Chen Mu's mind is clear.

In order to practice his game skills, Chen Mu will even use unknown players to enter the individual practice mode, constantly looking for their shooting points and various strength levels. Since his first basketball game in 1998, Chen Mu has played countless games, even the most marginal players, Chen Mu is very aware of their abilities, and his brain is like a database of player abilities.

When it comes to football skills, Chen Mu doesn't have much confidence at present, but when it comes to understanding the players, Chen Mu is far beyond the level of ordinary fans.

"Beep"

While the two were chatting, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded on the court, and all the Suns players looked at the court with concern.

"Ah......h

On the field, the old inside lineman Cott Thomas, who had just come on as a substitute for Tim Thomas, accidentally stepped on the instep of someone else when he landed, and his ankle was seriously sprained.

"Team doctor, how's it going??"

The game was temporarily suspended, and Coatthomas was carried off the field, and coach D'Antoni stepped forward to ask eagerly.

"Not so good." The team doctor frowned and shook his head: "The sprain is very serious, I don't know if it has hurt ligaments and bones, and it needs to be checked immediately." ”

"This ......"

D'Antoni instantly turned his head into two big, and anxiously walked back and forth a few times, glancing at the bench.

The Suns got off to a bad start, with Stoudemire just having surgery and sitting on the sidelines in a suit. Tim Thomas and Brian Grant are both old injuries that have not recovered, and they are already very reluctant to play. And Georgian center Skitishvili's defense is like air, if he is allowed to play with Dio, the interior may be burst into a sieve by the opponent's high-impact backcourt.

What to do? D'Antoni is anxious, and he searched on the bench for a while, is it to put James Jones on the field in the No. 4 position? Or risk sending Tim Thomas on the field again?

Looking at it, D'Antoni suddenly saw a yellow-skinned figure in his field of vision, sitting by the water dispenser and drinking water quietly.

“…… Old! ”

"In!" Chen Mu looked up and saw D'Antoni looking at him with a helpless expression, obviously encountering a problem.

"You're on the field!" D'Antoni said this sentence almost through gritted teeth, as if he had finally made up his mind.

"Okay, Coach......!"

Chen Mu stood up, his heart throbbed, and he almost trembled when he looked at the lights all over the field.

NBA…… I'm coming......!
