In the Wajovia Center, the game between the 76ers and the Heat has reached the middle of the second quarter.

The team's most relied on substitute firepower recently, after the "Chinese kid" Chen Mu came on the court, he did not use full firepower on the offensive end as usual, but played a role on the defensive end first.

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chen Mu's defense still has a lot of inadequacies, such as paying too much attention to the ball, and from time to time being attracted by basketball and missing the defender; Lack of defensive skills, all rely on talent and instinct to defend; I don't know how to bite the other person's footsteps, and it's easy to be picked up by feints, etc., etc.

From a professional point of view, Chen Mu's defense is not even a semi-finished product for the time being, and any offensive interior line who does not suffer too much physically can completely blow up Chen Mu.

But sometimes, the "momentum" on the pitch is a wonderful thing.

At the beginning of the opening period, Wade, the Heat's ace raider, made a big kill and quickly scored double-digit points.

After Chen Mu came on the court, Wade also got a wonderful two plus one on Chen Mu, and his skills were amazing.

But in the following game, the "momentum" gradually reversed.

On the court, Wade once again had a chance to break through, and after an aerial confrontation with Iguodala, relying on his strong upper body muscles and an extraordinary sense of balance, Wade still found that offensive gap and threw the basketball to the basket.

Behind Iguodala, a yellow-skinned figure suddenly jumped up, suddenly stretched out the giant spirit palm, slapped it down in the air, and pointed his finger at Wade's layup, interfering the ball with the bottom line.

“DAMN！”

After landing, Wade couldn't help but curse angrily, and his heart was faintly impatient.

This Chinese boy, who has always been known as a defensive colander, has no way to face the strong attack of the inside line, and is played with between applause by the major inside lines. But in the face of the small assaulter, it played an unexpected role.

With excellent mobility and amazing speed, Chen Mu's role on the defensive end began to gradually become prominent.

In this era when interior mobility has not been mentioned to the height of the future, Chen Mu's defensive routines are not very common. It seems to be an exaggeration to say that he is a defensive king like Camby, but in terms of defensive influence, it is a little more than a colander.

"Fly at one point, fly again and again, and the third time, he will fly. But if you're not decisive enough, even if you send him flying a hundred times, the one hundred and first shot, he can still fly and interfere with your offensive line somewhat. ”

Chen Mu's defense can basically be summed up in this sentence.

For pitchers and interior giants, Chen Mu's defense is simply an ATM machine, and basketball is the bank card in their hands. ）。

But for an assaulter like Wade, whose breakthrough is obviously stronger than outside shooting, Chen Mu has become a lingering problem.

Chen Mu's defense is not at the level of a nightmare, and it is not even a trouble. But the infinite energy and infinite bounce are like a fly, and they can't be driven away.

After receiving the ball again, Wade opted for a long two-point shot. The basketball smashed on the basket, was grabbed by Chen Mu, and then passed it easily.

Under the continuous interference, Wade's hand began to decline, and the long-range shot, which was not too reliable, began to fail.

For a handy shooter like Wade, rhythm is much more important than a shooting machine like Korver or Ray Allen.

Breakthrough drives offense, basket drives mid-distance, hand feel open, three-point can also score for you to see, this is Wade's consistent offensive routine.

For most defenders, it would be an impossible task to keep Wade at bay. After consecutive breakthroughs or fouls, Wade found his touch and rhythm, and he could drive his shooting and start the indiscriminate killing drill.

But today, Wade's rhythm was completely disrupted by this fledgling Chinese boy.

“TIMEOUT！”

The 76ers scored another goal under Iverson's leadership, and Pat Riley, who was on the sidelines, finally couldn't sit still and got up to call a timeout.

"Chen, it's not bad!"

Back on the bench, Cheeks' anger was finally subdued, and the score on the court, the 76ers had regained their lead. 29-26, temporarily taking a three-point lead.

As with the Pistons, the pace of the game was cut to pieces, with both sides focusing on positional battles. Obviously, both sides are very jealous of each other's fast attack, and they are quite active in defending back, not allowing the opponent to get an easy chance to score points.

In the continuous positional battle and the meat grinder-like tug-of-war, Chen Mu's "partial science" offensive method, which lacks the ability to hold the ball and go heads-up, began to seem a little stretched. On the offensive side, Chen Mu has never played very well and has not scored a point so far.

But on the defensive end, Chen Mu's play gave Cheeks a glimmer of hope, so he didn't replace him immediately.

"Keep moving, keep pressing, don't let them pass the ball easily, cut their offense into a corner, force them to go heads-up!"

Cheeks' defensive strategy proved to be successful, and although the Heat had Wade as a scoring machine, they were greatly reduced in efficiency under Chen Mu's interference.

As long as they continue to maintain the pressure and cut the Heat's offense, the 76ers have a chance to drag the game to the end!

"If they dare to shift the strong and weak sides on a large scale, Andrey, don't need me to say anything, right?"

Beside Cheeks, Iguodala nodded heavily, "Wrap it up on me!" ”

"If Riley's rotation doesn't change much, it's time for them to go on O'Neal next." Cheeks looked at the game time and said: "Webb, you come to defend against the sharks, don't let the sharks get the chance to single out Chen Mu, the difference in strength is too big, Chen will be eaten alive by him." ”

Webber nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Mu's shoulder beside him, the meaning was very clear, Cheeks was just making the best judgment based on the actual situation, not having any prejudice against Chen Mu.

"But Chen, don't take it lightly, if Andre fails to break the ball, Wade will get a chance to break through on the weak side, and then you will have to rely on your long arm to interfere and defend him for me!"

"No problem!" Chen Mu nodded and said confidently.

The timeout time ended quickly, the players from both sides returned to the court, Chen Mu raised his eyes, and sure enough, he saw the huge fish, which was walking onto the court.

"Shaq O'Neill, what a behemoth!"

At 7'1" tall and weighing 325 pounds (147.4 kilograms), he also has explosive power and agility that is extremely inconsistent with his figure.

Big Shark O'Neal, the most ferocious inside monster in basketball history, although he has come to the end of his career, is still not to be underestimated.

"Remember my arrangement, if you guys lose the game, I don't know what I'm going to do!"

On the sidelines, a shiny-haired Pat Riley frowned, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking in his deep eyes.

God operator Pat Riley, who else is more suitable than him to lead such a team full of veterans?

The game restarted, the Heat attacked, and as soon as the game started, the 76ers found that the opponent's tactics had changed dramatically.

Wade no longer plays alone with the ball, but quickly moves to the weak side, becoming a pawn in the corner, tugging at the 76ers' defensive nerves.

On the strong side, White Chocolate Williams calmly controlled the ball, and a pair of eyes full of spirit scanned the whole field, as if he was waiting for something.

At the top of the arc, Posey, a 3D player who crossed and transposed with Wade, suddenly inserted, and Haslem was raised outwards on his side, and Chen Mu stepped forward to block Posey's way, preventing him from having the opportunity to catch the ball and attack the basket directly.

Haslem came to the free throw line, Williams passed the ball quickly, and the moment Haslem received the ball, Posey ran back to the three-point line. As soon as Chen Mu wanted to catch up, Iguodala next to him shouted to switch back to normal defense.

Posey ran past Haslem and pulled Iguodal out of the box, and there was a brief void in front of Haslem's eyes. Webb has been on the bottom line on the strong side, defending O'Neal, who has not participated in the attack at all, seeing such a scene, he hurriedly stepped forward to block it, and loudly asked Chen Mu behind him to change positions.

"Whoosh"

At the moment when Webb and Chen Mu switched defenses, Haslem moved the ball to the strong side near the three-second zone, and as soon as Chen Mu looked back at the basketball, a huge figure appeared in front of him.

O'Neill received the ball and turned his back to face Chen Mu.

The Heat's dazzling passing and cutting coordination is complete.

"So that's what they're for, let O'Neill eat my ...... under the basket!"

Chen Mu was shocked in his heart, and then he realized that Wade's involvement, Posey's cut, Haslem's lift, and Posey's anti-running cooperation......

All of this is to transfer the rest of the 76ers out of the three-second zone, leaving Chen Mu, who has a weak interior defense, to fight against the big sharks alone!

O'Neal didn't have the slightest mercy, after receiving the ball, he used his back hard, and Chen Mu behind him was like a toy, he was easily pushed to the bottom of the basket, and then his left hand was raised, and the small hook hand shot, and the basketball easily entered the frame.

“WellDone！ WellDone！ ”

As the Heat team returned to defense, Pat Riley couldn't stop clapping and shouting on the sidelines, and then his eyes swept and looked at Chen Mu, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Chinese boy, aren't you very mobile and able to jump? I've got a hundred ways to get the basketball into O'Neal's hands, and at least fifty of them can put you in a match with him. In the face of the absolute power gap, I want to see how you still ......! ”

God operator Pat Riley, who has a variety of career coaching styles, has not only led the SHOWTIME Lakers, played a gorgeous offensive that has swept all over the league, but also brought out the New York Gangsters, bringing the darkest iron-blooded defensive coach in NBA history, and this is just beginning to show his basketball wisdom beyond ordinary people.

“…… Hey"

On the field, Chen Mu looked at the huge back of O'Neill's defense, but he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and said to himself: "It's really getting more and more fun now...... ”
