"Referee, he's walking!"

On the sidelines, Cheeks was in a hurry, kept putting pressure on the referee, made walking movements, and finally demonstrated himself: "It is impossible to send a pass from that angle, he walked!" ”

As a coach by professional point guard, Cheeks knows exactly what adjustments need to be made when a point guard hits the ball. Fang Cairondo's pass was incredible, his body was almost like a spinning top, he made several turns in place, a pair of big hands kept waving, and the basketball was in his huge palm, like a volleyball, and he was in control.

This kind of passing, which relies heavily on one-handed control of the ball, is not the first of its kind to Langdo, and in the history of the NBA, big point guards like Magic also had the magic of using basketball with one hand. But seeing a huge basketball on such a "petite" (NBA-level) body, being easily played with is still an unprecedented visual impact.

The referee didn't speak, just pointed to his eyes, and then shook his head, the meaning was very clear:

I can see very clearly, he is not walking, and I don't need you to guide me.

Cheeks sat back in his seat in anger, his brow furrowed.

In fact, Cheeks didn't know about Rondo's tricks, and after watching the video of Rondo's game, he was already prepared for Rondo's amazing one-handed passing skills.

But seeing the picture on a TV computer screen is completely different from the shock of seeing the real situation in the field. Even if Rondo's ball usage rate, playing time, and average data per game are not conspicuous now, as a point guard, Cheeks knows very well that this wonderful passing technique will sooner or later cause a wave in the league.

A wave that no one else can imitate.

The 76ers attacked, still Chen Mu fell to the low post, and the rest of the players began to run endlessly, Miller made two covers for Iguodala and Korver at the top of the arc, and the young players around Boston were dizzy, and the moment they turned around, they saw Chen Mu's pass was roaring.

"Smack"

After catching the ball with both hands, hit the ground with one stroke. Miller delivered a subtle assist at the top of the arc, and Korver took a hundred steps from beyond the three-point line to hit a three-pointer to put the 76ers ahead of the score.

"Arctop point guard!"

This archaic tactic is rarely used by teams in the league. Except for old point guards like Miller and Kidd, whose mobility is declining rapidly for various reasons, and whose passing skills and vision are still at their peak, I am afraid that only Rondo can control it in the new generation.

Celtic attack. Rondo dribbled at the top of the arc, his big eyes scanning the court.

Pierce took advantage of Jefferson's false cover to get to the flank, Rondo passed the ball, attacked the kaleidoscope and gave up Iguodala half a step with a tentative step, followed by his trademark tiptoe shot.

The basketball got into the net, and Pierce still had the well-known "stinky fart" expression on his face, and he thought about it back to defense, as if everything on the court was under his control, as if there was no deviation in the slightest.

"Truth. Even if he alone is difficult enough to deal with, and now that he has a reliable point guard at the top of the arc, it seems to outsiders that Pierce's ball possession is gradually declining and is no longer so free. But in fact, only the players on the floor can feel how much a good point guard can affect the offensive efficiency of the truth! ”

Recalling the advanced data on the original timeline, Chen Mu felt Ling Ran in his heart. Although Pierce's shooting percentage dropped dramatically in Rondo's first season after arriving with the team, which is his current 06-07 season, this is somewhat related to the injury explosion on Pierce. as well as age.

A closer look at the high-level data shows that after this season, Pierce, who has gradually become a hybrid with Rondo, has rapidly dived in the use of the ball. From 30.7 this season to 24.8 next season.

Although this is directly related to the arrival of the other two stars in Boston to form the Big Three, it is also inseparable from Rondo's strategy.

Paul Pearce, the All-Star scorer who spent years alone in Boston, finally had the easiest journey of his career.

The 76ers attacked again, and Chen Mu and Miller looked at each other. made a false cover in the high position.

Chen Mu retreated to the ribs, Perkins just rushed to the cover point out of breath, and when he turned around, Miller had already sent a pass, and Chen Mu hit an easy shot.

Tactical COPY!

Not only the coaches of the two teams, but even the fans in the North Shore Gardens have discovered the mystery.

Philadelphia 76ers, tactical running in the COPY Celtics!

Although the ball-handler was involved in the pick-and-roll, which was different from the off-ball screens made by Pierce and Jefferson before, the subsequent operation was the same, if not more straightforward.

After so quickly understanding the opponent's tactics and using them, the message that Chen Mu and his teammates wanted to convey was very clear:

We know all your tactics, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth to see who can make it to the end!

At the moment when Chen Mu and Miller high-fived and celebrated, a black shadow swept past the two of them at high speed.

Chen Mu looked back and saw that Rondo had already started to advance rapidly with the ball, and the whole person was like a light swift, whistling across the court and quickly rushing to the 76ers basket.

"Steven!"

Shouting to remind Hunter of his attention, Chen Mu himself also began to start chasing back, constantly chasing after Rondo.

Even with a rare mobility among interior players, Rondo's speed is far above Chen Mu, and the distance between the two is getting bigger and bigger, seeing that Rondo is about to hit Hunter who is stationed under the basket.

Just when Hunter raised his hands high and was about to make an offensive foul on Rondo, the small guard suddenly braked suddenly, stepped forward with his right foot, and the whole person turned around, raised his left hand around the baseline, and made a layup feint.

Hunter couldn't react in time, and reflexively jumped up, and Rondo quickly collected the ball back to the middle and threw a shot.

This shot was Rondo's most typical form of feint shot under the basket, making a jump shot false during a quick stop, and then swiping it to the side to make a feint. These two moves are enough to shake 90 percent of the players in the league away, and then Rondo can easily throw the basket.

Having just entered his rookie season, Rondo's offensive tactics are not well known to players across the league, but there is only one person who knows all this very well.

That is Chen Mu.

After Rondo shook Hunter away, Chen Mu was back near the free throw line. Seeing Rondo turn back to the middle, knowing that he was going to make his classic move, Chen Mu took the last step and took a big step inside the free throw line and began to jump. The whole person turned into a layer of sky net, almost as if he was about to smash his own basket and leaped forward.

Rondo shot the basketball in his hand, and immediately noticed that something was wrong, and the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, as if something terrible was flying towards him.

"Bang!"

Chen Mu leaped over the entire three-second zone. Rushing to the basket like an eagle pounced, his right hand was raised high and slapped hard, pressing the basketball directly on top of the rebound!

Pegboard hat!

Chen Mu's superb physical fitness was thoroughly displayed, and in the exclamation of the fans, Rondo's throw was directly pressed on the rebound, and then he grabbed it hard.

“TOUCH……”

Just as he turned around and was about to send a fast break to Iguodala, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand was cut off by a force before he could shoot.

"Whoosh"

Then an orange lightning bolt appeared in front of Chen Mu's eyes, and the basketball rushed to the three-point line on the weak side.

Outside the three-point line, a small man with a drooping face and a lack of interest in everything has long been stationed. After receiving the ball, he did not adjust, and jumped directly out of his hand.

With a press of the left hand, the basketball crosses a rainbow and falls into the basket.

Delonte West, the player who would later become world-famous with the Cavaliers for a scandal that is hard to tell whether it was true or not, had a close relationship with Rondo, who made the steal, and hit the crucial three-pointer.

“YES！ YES！ ”

On the sidelines, Coach Reeves threw punches and applauded the performance of the young forces in the team. In the North Shore Garden Arena, the fans also began to make a noise. The exciting game is extremely fast-paced, which makes people rush adrenaline and bring a completely different viewing pleasure.

In terms of tactical arrangement and implementation, both young teams are not far behind. It is a rare display of discipline that young people rarely have. But when the two sides tested each other at the beginning and cooperated tactically, they both found that:

In this game, it is not a tactical arrangement and a strategic game at all.

When two teams with great talent play against each other, the comparison is the word talent.

"Be careful, be careful of Rondo's steal!"

Miller reminded Chen Mu softly. Chen Mu sighed slightly, nodded and said: "Sure enough, you can't use common sense to judge the trend of this game, next, both of us will bombard with talent!" ”

The first quarter of the game went very smoothly, and the players of both teams completely let go of their hands and feet after this offense and defense, except for the iconic Chen Mu and Miller's back play, as well as Pierce and Jefferson heads-up, the rest of the players began to wander away from the so-called tactics, and quickly urged the talent in their bodies that had not been fully realized, and began to attack and defend quickly.

The game is like an old Western, with two gunmen facing off, taking ten steps each from back to back, and then turning around and shooting.

"Draw your gun and see who's fast!"

The competition between talents is so ruthless.

Perkins, who was slow-moving, was helpless against Chen Mu's frame, but the advantage in strength still allowed him to prevent Chen Mu's back-to-back singles. The new skills he had just acquired were useless for the time being, and Chen Mu also completely changed his thinking and began to influence the game in the way he was most familiar with last season.

Rebounds, mid-range shots, dunks.

Under Chen Mu's strong play, the 76ers opened and closed on the offensive end, playing very chic and freehand.

And the Celtics were not ambiguous, continuing to counterattack quickly, and Pierce and Jefferson went head-to-head after tactical failures. Neither side could guard against the other, and by the time the official timeout came in the first quarter, the score had come to 17-16, and the 76ers temporarily took the lead.

"Chen, let's change the rotation a little bit in a moment."

During the pause, Cheeks said to Chen Mu: "If I'm not mistaken, after this timeout, Reeves will have to make personnel adjustments." They have a lot of fresh blood at the back and up front, and they will probably use their impact to fight with our bench to fight bayonets. ”

"Our bench is really a bit weak, and if we go up and fight them to the end like this, I'm afraid we'll dig a big hole for the starters. So after this timeout, you take a little rest, wait until the next timeout is over, and when the two sides change the bench, you come on and try to pull the score away with our bench! ”

Although Chen Mu seems to be omnipotent on the court, Cheeks also sees it really, under the suppression of Perkins' power, Chen Mu's new skills can not be played in the back single, and the team is actually carrying out the traditional passing and cutting cooperation.

In this case, it is better to boldly rotate and let Chen Mu lead the bench to fight. When Boston does not have Perkins, Chen Mu's back can be played, and with a large number of balls, he can also use the pass to revitalize the team's offense, so that the Philadelphia bench will not be directly beaten down by Boston.

"You're going to have a bit of a hard time in this game, it's estimated that you'll have to play for about 35 minutes, can you hold on?"

Facing Cheeks's worries, Chen Mu smiled lightly and said: "Coach, I'm from a transition stage, if I can't even abuse their substitutes, will I still have the face to mix in the team?" ”

In Chen Mu's eyes, the familiar flames burned, and after not playing the transition stage for a long time, Chen Mu's hands were also a little itchy. Once again the only backbone of the team, what kind of performance can he have? Chen Mu himself is also looking forward to it.

"Coach, don't worry......!" (To be continued.) )
