Chapter 779: Pitch Black Flame (1)
“…… Wow!!! ”
After the opening, Chen Mu contributed two violent deductions at the beginning, and a shocking hot pot, which shocked the four seats, causing the audience to burst into shouts.
"Roar!"
The bench on the eastern side boiled instantly, Chen Mu's popularity has always been good, and the wonderful performance after the opening not only feasted the fans' eyes, but also set the tone for this game.
To win.
Be sure to win!
“…… DAMN。 ”
After Kobe Bryant stood firm, he reached out to hold the basketball, and the words that came out of his mouth were not intense, but the movements of his hands betrayed his heart.
"Bang!"
smashed the ball hard and smashed it to the bottom of the basket, Kobe Bryant was angry, and the murderous aura at the corner of his mouth was fully revealed.
"Get it back......!"
Nash knew the flame in Kobe's heart, because he himself was actually ignited by Chen Mu's performance.
Want to win so much?
Let's compare which side we are stronger!
"High position, V-word! Arc top start! ”
The coach of the Western Conference All-Star is Denver's George Carr, and although Denver's tactics are more uninhibited, with Nash here, it would be a waste not to play the V.
Spread out!
Nash arced up, and Xiao Si stepped forward from the ribs to cover.
Howard pulled a little outside just in time to give Bryant an off-ball screen.
On the other side, Anthony started running from the top of the arc, entangled with LeBron in various positions, and stopped for a moment when he passed by the blocking point, and then suddenly started.
Emptiness on the left!
Chen Mu was pulled to a high position by Xiao Si, and Anthony was so bad that he ran back this time, and when he suddenly cut to the basket, he was empty.
"Whoosh!"
Where would Nash miss out on such an opportunity? After a pass, Anthony received the ball steadily, without adjusting half a step at all, and directly shot and put the basket.
Behind him, a figure flew up.
"Smack!"
"Pegboard hat! Pegboard hat! Kevin Garnett, pegboard hat hahahahaha!! ”
Barkley's demonic screams echoed through all the live signals, and the Wolf King was truly fierce, with a pegboard hat sent out, and the basketball rebounded back to the middle.
Chen Mu turned around and caught the ball!
"Hoo ......"
Take a deep breath, turn around, and lift the ball up with one hand.
Xiao Si realized what Chen Mu was going to do, and stepped forward to obstruct it.
But the elves, shimmering all over, had rushed forward.
“TOUCH-DOOOOOOOOWN!!!”
The basketball roared out, and Chen Mu's one-handed pass quickly rushed past the side of Nash's head. The wind pressure of that moment even blew Nash's messy hair flying.
Iverson received the ball in the front court, and Kobe, a paranoid man who never admits defeat, hurried to catch up.
And then
Iverson, move ......!
"Bang bang!"
Two dribbles that are concise to the extreme, one touch of the ball with one left and right hand, and the signature change of direction in front of the body, just like how many years ago he shook Jordan away.
Kobe Bryant's footsteps did not make mistakes, but the body instinctively controlled the center of gravity, and the rhythm was inevitably chaotic.
It's physical, not psychological.
Rao is Kobe Bryant, and he can't control it.
“STEP-BACK。”
As he struggled to adjust his focus to keep up with the rhythm, Bryant heard Iverson say something very hurriedly.
...... step back?
He shook me off, didn't he want to break through?
He's going to ......
“…… Swish! ”
Allen Iverson, singled out Kobe Bryant, hit a mid-range pullup jump shot......!!!
“…… AI――!!! ”
The fans in the stadium were all wet in an instant.
How many years has this been the scene I haven't seen? Kobe vs. AI? Mamba on the answer?
I'm so excited!!
"So seriously! Both sides are playing so seriously! ”
Miller also saw the clue, and opened his eyes and said: "Allen's offense and Kobe's defense are at least regular-season level confrontations." Neither side let the water out, there is no intention of letting the other perform at all, and this All-Star Game could be fun! ”
Fun All-Star Game?
Does it mean that it is entertaining, everyone is performing, or is it a real fight?
In terms of performance, the All-Stars are like that every year, and after watching many sessions, fans have long been aesthetically fatigued.
But if the stars come together and really have a good time......
It's really fun!
Fans' eyes widened as they watched as the West began to attack. Since the opening, the west has not scored a single point, and the defense of the east is very official. The western side ran several tactics in a row, but they didn't have a chance.
Nash was on the floor and had no offensive chances???
"What's going on?!"
Watching all the players on the eastern side walk around, shouting and reminding each other, the tacit understanding is like playing together for ten years.
Especially Chen Mu and LeBron, the two positions of one inside and one outside are constantly moving, making up for the speed drop of Iverson and Garnett.
Wade is wholeheartedly entangled with Kobe, and when there is an advantage in speed, the strength is not at a loss, and Wade's defense makes Kobe very uncomfortable.
This defense ...... It's so strong!
"Are we ignoring a fact?"
Weber, who hadn't spoken for a long time, looked at the situation on the court, and said: "Eastern All-Star, the most terrifying thing is not offense, but defense......!" ”
Is the scary thing about the Eastern Conference All-Stars about defense?
Several commentators looked up.
Point guard Allen Iverson, defense has never been a strong point, limited by physical impact and other factors, facing a tall point guard is a little disadvantaged.
But the opposite ...... Nash?
Perfect alignment.
Wade defends Kobe Bryant...... The whole league can't find a better counterpoint, right?
LeBron defends Anthony, almost all of them have the upper hand physically, and his defensive skills are already at the level of an outside defensive gate, and he is still a perfect matchup.
Chen Mu vs. Xiao Si, Xiao Si's face frame advantage, speed advantage, explosive speed advantage, in front of Chen Mu, are not so obvious.
Xiao Si's mid-distance crosshair, and Nash's way of cooperating, Chen Mu is very familiar with it. The last killing move was blocked and dismantled, and then the attack basket was also blocked by Chen Mu.
Furthermore......
"Cover again!"
After several consecutive shots and failed to find a chance, Nash reluctantly called Xiao Si to cover again, and after the cover, he simply turned on his own offensive mode, holding the ball and pulling down his crotch, and then rushed sideways to the inside.
Did you come by yourself?
That's what Nash has done in his years with the Suns whenever the team's tactics aren't working well.
That is to take over the offense yourself.
And the quality of the cover blocking is excellent, Xiao Si took the defender away after the cover, where can Iverson carry Xiao Si's strength? When he was taken away, he was like a child who was taken out of an Internet café by his parents, with a small hand stretched out, which was called helplessness.
Nash, face Chen Mu.
"Change the perimeter line, and you'll be passed through a sieve by me."
Nash dribbled the ball, had 10 seconds left on offense, and had time to trash a few words.
“TRY-ME。”
Chen Mu responded indifferently, his hands outstretched, and his waist sat low.
No problem.
There is no problem with the defensive stance.
This kid, he's progressing so fast......!
Nash dribbled to find a gap, changed direction several times in a row, and stepped back, but Chen Mu followed like a dogskin plaster.
When did you practice?
When did this kid practice his defensive skills against the ball carrier on the outside??
"Bang Bang Bang"
Speeding up the dribble, Nash took a deep breath, an urge that hadn't been in his chest for a long time, almost gushing out.
Anyone.
I'm going to use a heads-up approach to get rid of Chen.
Start the heads-up ......!
"Bang bang!"
Accelerating the dribble, with five seconds left, Nash was engrossed and the dribble rate sped up many times.
Chen Mu stared at Nash's feet and didn't go to watch basketball at all.
As long as you control your footsteps, you can control his attacking ......!
In the reverse training camp, Chen Mu chose the improvement project corresponding to his face frame attack.
Outside blockade.
In the face of the ball carrier, bite with your feet, and use the advantage of height and reach to make up for the disadvantage of your feet when facing small assaulters.
After the blocking and dismantling tactics, the tactics of changing defenses and fighting small and big have lost their meaning for Chen Mu.
"Bang bang!"
On the final two dribbles, Nash made his trademark move, moving from the left side of the basket to the right at the next step of the free throw line.
The footsteps were not in place, and it was clear that when the right foot fell, he suddenly made a move.
It's a weird layup with the same hands and feet, and many basketball enthusiasts will feel awkward even if they try it. But Nash, on the other hand, uses this as a conventional weapon.
Rhythm.
In a weird rhythm, Nash put his right hand on the lower part of the basketball, held up the ball, bypassed Chen Mu's left hand block, and threw it to the basket.
It's ...... fast!
Chen Mu was also surprised, he thought that he had already gained experience in defending the face frame attack, and in the virtual training camp, all the historical-level face frame masters were blocked by themselves more than sixty percent of the attacks.
But reality is different from virtuality, no matter how strong the virtual is, you don't have to worry about a lot of things, and you have a lot of time to try and analyze.
But in reality, Nash, who did not appear in the virtual training camp, completely confused Chen Mu with a signature personal action.
If he can practice one-on-one for a while, Chen Mu will definitely be able to keep up with Nash's rhythm. But all of a sudden, it definitely won't work.
The basketball flew up, looking for the angle of wiping the board, Chen Mu's left hand had been given up by the basketball, and it was impossible to obstruct the basketball route again.
Nash landed and turned around to prepare to return to defense, with a look on his face that would last for the rest of his life.
The speed of progress is really terrifying, and if it weren't for the signature moves, maybe the ball would have been ......
“…… Syllable! ”
…… What the?!!
Hearing the sound, Nash was stunned.
The ball is ...... The cover is off?!!
How is this possible?!!
"Fast-Attack-!!"
Nash was still in the circle, and Chen Mu's shouts behind him had already sounded, and if he was not paying attention, Iverson was gone again.
Where did it go?!
Why is it covered?
Where did Iverson go?!!
"Whoosh!"
Once again, the basketball sprinted past the side of Nash's head, like a missile sprinting into the frontcourt.
The Western All-Stars were all stunned, and Iverson stepped on his feet after receiving the ball and made a light layup.
"Huh"
As the sound of the basketball entering the net sounded, Nash really felt it for the first time.
I may be getting old. (To be continued.) )
