"Don't think too much about it after the game, we are between our quality and their equals, maybe in terms of the balance of the team's attacking points, they are still above us. So don't think about winning or not, just grasp every attack and defense honestly, start from the details, and play every round well. ”

The game is about to start, and there are not many fans coming to watch the game in the Conseco Arena, and many of the far seats are empty. In fact, this season, the Indiana Pacers have the lowest average viewers per game in the league. It seems that the shocking brawl at Auburn Hills Palace a few years ago has completely destroyed the confidence of Indiana fans in the team.

And from the perspective of the year, the Pacers also began to inexplicably embark on the road of degeneration after the Auburn Hills Palace brawl. The team's spiritual totem Reggie Miller retired, O'Neal Jr. instantly lost his dominance that he had just honed under the basket, and the inside and outside players continued to change blood, and the iron-blooded, tough and terrifying defense, and the overall offensive team dominated the league, and played 61 wins in a single season, and it was also wiped out.

But Indiana's basketball frenzy is familiar to all NBA fans, and the scene of fans screaming loudly on the basketball court at all levels of competition is a nightmare for almost all away teams in this agricultural state, which many Americans call "country country".

In terms of the fanaticism of the fans in the stadium, there are perhaps only a few places such as Detroit that can compete with Indiana.

It was in this atmosphere that 76ers coach Cheeks began to make the last tactical arrangements for the players before they went on the court.

"Pass more, play more, they're very malleable defensively, don't get caught up in a solo fight and kick their ass with our speed and impact!"

The marker in Cheeks' hand kept drawing all kinds of tactics on the tactical board, and in his expectation, Chen Mu and Miller would become the core of the team's offensive operation, using the two passing points inside and outside, and instigating the offense with points and faces, if the 76ers can play the mobility advantage of young players, the game will be much easier.

"Play more fast breaks, except for Danny, they don't have any reliable defense players, whether it's after winning rebounds or making blocks and steals, Andre and Kyle, you two have to sprint to the front court as soon as possible, Chen and Miller will become your powder kegs and feed you ammunition!"

“1、2、3、TOUCHDOWN！”

After shouting, the referee motioned for the players of the two teams to come on the field, Chen Mu and Miller looked at each other and nodded slightly to each other.

Decide with speed!

The basketball was tossed high, O'Neal Jr. won the ball for the Pacers, and the game officially began.

“IN&OUT！”

The ball came to the top of the arc, Tinsley shouted out the team's tactics, and O'Neal Jr. came to a key position outside the three-second zone, leaned back with his tall body, and firmly stuck Chen Mu behind him.

"The power is extraordinary!"

As soon as he got in touch, Chen Mu really felt the difference between O'Neill Jr. and other opponents he had faced recently.

Since the beginning of the season, Chen Mu has played against Bosh, Boozer, Murphy, Brand, Wilcox, Perkins, Jefferson and other opponents, among these opponents, there seem to be several good insiders, but it is not difficult to find that many of them are either thin or short, and the physical hardware conditions (height and arm span strength) are better than Jefferson, and they are also "biased" players who are not comprehensive in attack and defense, and they are not excellent candidates for chiseling the inside line.

But little O'Neill in front of him, this 6-foot-11-inch baby-faced baby face with an amazing arm span, is a standard No. 4 strongman who can't be more standard.

Tinsley's pass came whizzing, O'Neal Jr. did not continue to exert his back force, it seemed that he had seen Chen Mu's video materials this season before the game, and knew that his best turning and jumper might be interfered with, so he simply swept his eyes quickly in the half, looking for a passing route.

“SWITCH！”

On the strong side, Stephen Jackson and Tinsley switched positions to the top of the arc, and Granger on the weak side also started to start, moving to the ribs with Harrington's cover, and O'Neal Jr. opened his hand and passed, and the basketball flew to the top of the arc.

Jackson received the ball without a pause, and immediately hit the ground, Granger received the ball in the ribs, dribbled a step, and then suddenly hoisted high and sent a pass inside.

At the same time, Harrington, who had just covered for Granger, also came to the strong side basket, and a solid cover stuck Chen Mu, and O'Neal Jr. wiped it under the basket, and after receiving the pass, he pressed Hunter to dunk it again.

“YES！！！”

The Conseco Arena exploded instantly, and the first offense in the opening game, the Pacers used skillful coordination and the super execution of the players to complete a wonderful team cooperation, playing the classic "IN-OUT-IN" cooperation, and the team's interior pillar dunk scored.

"It's really not easy."

Looking at the figure of little O'Neill's defense, Chen Mu nodded slightly, quickly recalled the cooperation that the walker had just made, and couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart.

"But if it's just a gap in tactical execution, we can make up for it with mobility and impact!"

In the previous game, facing the Los Angeles Clippers, who are also old balls Pidodo, the 76ers also fell into passivity. However, after using the TOUCHDOWN tactic many times, the situation on the field was reversed in an instant.

In terms of the execution of the players, the Clippers are probably still above the Pacers, and even the Clippers are on the road of the 76ers.

Coming to the frontcourt, according to Cheeks' instructions, Chen Mu and Miller made a high block.

After stopping Tinsley, Chen Mu quickly went down, Miller just wanted to open his hand to pass the ball, but Tinsley stepped forward quickly like a ghost, returned to the defense at an incredible speed, and did not give space to pass.

"It's fast!"

Miller was also surprised, although he knew that Tinsley was a fast backcourt Scud, but Miller did not expect that the contemporary player in front of him, who was once considered a "tumor of disobedience", would be reborn and have such a persistent execution in Indiana, the opportunity slipped away between hesitations, and he had no choice but to reorganize the offense.

"Miller!"

Chen Mu came to the three-second zone outside, almost the same position as O'Neal Jr. on the offensive end, and opened his hand to ask for the ball. Miller and Iguodala exchanged positions and sent a pass, and Chen Mu got a one-on-one opportunity at the waist position.

"Make full use of the impact and mobility advantages of your teammates and play teamwork!"

Chen Mu didn't forget Chicks' arrangement, and his eyes couldn't stop scanning the audience.

In terms of mobility, the strongest in the 76ers is undoubtedly Iguodala, followed by Chen Mu himself, although Korver's mobility is not excellent, but because of its explosive outside feel, a slight movement can involve defense, which is also a good attacking point.

In fact, this season, after sending Iverson away, the 76ers' offense has basically revolved around these three players, except for Miller's occasional back-to-back shots, the team's scoring is all based on this front-court trio.

After a season of running-in, the tacit understanding between the three is increasing day by day, and there is no need for Chen Mu to say more, a look makes the outside "double ghosts" get the signal and begin to intersperse the running position.

However, after running tactics for a while, Chen Mu was surprised to find:

No passing space!

"These guys ......!"

As soon as the game began, the Pacers switched defenses, and Granger, who was supposed to be at the small forward position, faced Korver, and Granger had the upper hand in terms of footwork, speed, bounce, and reach. No matter how much Korver runs, he can't find an open seat.

On the other side, Iguodala used a little speed advantage to throw off Stephen Jackson's defense, but the latter was "cunning", and his defensive position was extremely charming, always dangling between Chen Mu and Iguodala, and if he passed the ball easily, he was likely to be stealed.

Not to mention Tinsley, who is eyeing not far away, with a fast hand of 1.6 steals per game and the speed of a supercar, he can make a quick cut at any time and cut the ball out of the air.

When the 5 seconds of his back were about to arrive, Chen Mu had no choice, his heart began to dribble and turn, and after turning into a face frame, little O'Neal's hands were already raised high, his legs were slightly apart, and his defensive posture was flawless.

"What a defender!"

Seeing Little O'Neill's state, Chen Mu was cold in his heart. Height, arm span, strength and weight, he is at a disadvantage, the most terrifying thing about O'Neal Jr. is not his excellent physical condition, the perfect combination of defensive awareness, defensive smell at the level of the king of blocks, defensive skills, and foot speed is the killer feature of this fast-falling genius.

"Chen! 5 seconds! ”

Miller's shout came, there was not much time left to attack, Chen Mu took a deep breath, dribbled sideways and then made a shooting move, turned to the back basket, made a second fake move from near the baseline with one hand, and then turned back to the face frame, and his footsteps cruised on the edge of the walk, causing the nearby referee to blow the whistle immediately.

Big Dream Steps!

Although it is different from the traditional textbook dream footsteps, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Mu's offensive action this time is to use his mid-range shot, layup, and hook the threat to the extreme, and after two consecutive feints, he finds the space side to hook the basket, and any ordinary interior player will be dazzled by this set of gorgeous to scum.

But O'Neal Jr. is not an ordinary interior player.

"Bang!"

At the moment when Chen Mu hooked his hand, little O'Neill took off with his bounce that had slipped a lot, stretched his long arm forward, and flew out of the basketball cover in Chen Mu's hand.

"Can you hook your hands?!"

Chen Mu was taken aback, but fortunately the referee blew the whistle in time, O'Neal Jr. was too far forward, violated Chen Mu's cylinder space, and the defense fouled, and Chen Mu got two free throw opportunities.

“FXXK！”

After landing, O'Neal Jr. let out a low curse, and nearby Pacers players stepped forward to comfort him.

"Chen, that's good!"

The 76ers players were excited, and after being scored by the opponent, Chen Mu immediately responded with a single shot, which naturally made his teammates happy and came forward to high-five and congratulate.

"Hoo ......"

But Chen Mu, who stood on the free throw line, his expression was not relaxed, and he couldn't help but look at Little O'Neal, who couldn't help shaking his head, and a not very good premonition arose.

Chen Mu's nemesis, the huge threat in Boss Su's mouth, has just begun to show his sharp fangs. (To be continued.) )
