Chapter 204: There are some things that can't be made up for by hard work
Depressed.
Very depressed.
Quite extremely depressed.
Depressed, I want to find a piece of Chinese tofu directly and hit it to death.
That's how rebounding maniac Evans is at the moment.
In the second half of the second quarter of the first half, George Carr saw the essence of the confrontation between the two teams, seized the lifeline of rebounding and scrambled, and sent the team's most powerful rebounding machine, Evans and Chen Mu to confront.
Using small actions and endless 24-hour entanglement, Evans actually took advantage of the head of the new generation of would-be rebounding kings and kept grabbing rebounds.
Under Evans' strong play, the Nuggets also changed the decline that had continued from the beginning, and played a beautiful continuous counterattack, scoring 61 points at halftime and regaining the initiative.
Just Evans started the second half with confidence, ready to use the tail of his older generation of idiots...... Ah no, card position skills, when I taught the Chinese kid a good lesson, this Chinese kid suddenly changed sex!
"Dang!"
After the start of the second half, the Nuggets wanted to pull away quickly and attack faster. The 76ers, on the other hand, want to close the gap as soon as possible, and they are also playing like supersonic aircraft. After several unreasonable shots in a row, the basketball failed to hit, and neither side got any bargain in the positional battle.
Another missed shot, Anthony who shot here was still struggling with his bad hand, and under the Philadelphia basket over there, another rebounding battle began.
"Not here again?!"
Evans came to the basket and looked up to see that the Chinese kid was really standing opposite him, and he didn't mean to get in the position with him at all.
"Isn't the landing point of this ball here?"
Looking at Chen Mu's serious and determined look, Evans also had a trace of doubt in his heart.
When it comes to judging where rebounds fall, Evans is confident that he can compete with all the rebounding gods in league history. Although the other strengths are too mediocre, Evans has never been able to play any impressive results. But when it comes to judging the landing point, no player in the whole league dares to say a word to Evans.
However, the pre-game video, as well as many research and analysis, have already made Evans clear in his heart that this Chinese kid is definitely a genius in judging the rebounding point, and he can even be said to vaguely surpass himself.
Watching Chen Mu's previous game videos, every time he grabbed a rebound, he almost started at the moment when the basketball player just made a shot, and he didn't move forward in a roundabout way like other rebounding masters. Determine the landing point as you run and find the best position.
This Chinese kid ran directly to the landing point he judged as soon as he started, without the slightest hesitation on the way, and his appearance was as easy as a chicken farm owner catching a chicken.
From this point of view, this Chinese kid is afraid that when judging the landing point, he will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the player's position and posture at the moment of shooting, and judge it with his own head at speed. Accurate results are given immediately.
Judging from the video of the game, the judgment of the Chinese kid has never been wrong.
But even so, this technology cannot be said to be amazing. To know. The players who can play in the NBA are the best basketball players in the world. Among them, there are one or two rebounding maniacs who can roughly judge the basketball landing point by relying on the player's shooting posture. It's not unusual.
For example, Rodman, the short rebounding king in history, is the ancestor who judged the landing point by comprehensively analyzing the player's shooting habits, spin, position, strength and other information.
And now Evans. It can be said that he has won the mantle of Rodman, although he can't say that he can know the shooting habits of all players in the league like Rodman, but he is almost the same.
After all, Evans gets a multimillion-dollar salary every year, and that's what he does. Although Evans' style of court makes many people feel disdainful, his spirit of studying rebounding is enough to be learned and respected.
Last season, Evans had the opportunity to play against the Chinese boy, but unfortunately he was in the superSonics, and he happened to be out due to injury, so he could only watch from the sidelines. After all, there is a difference between watching the game on the sidelines and playing on the court, and now when he comes to the court to fight against the Chinese kid in person, Evans is also very surprised.
This Chinese kid is not a master who relies on all kinds of information to "roughly" judge the landing point, but a monster who can be extremely accurate and has an error of centimeters!
So in the first half, Evans had no distractions, as long as he entangled the Chinese kid, ran with him, and after determining the landing point judged by the opponent, he immediately used all kinds of small actions to occupy a favorable position, and then grabbed the rebound. It takes a lot of physical strength, but mental power is useless.
But at the beginning of the second half, something was wrong.
"Smack!"
Evans was still hesitating to drop the question, and the Chinese kid over there had already jumped up, his body was a step away from Evans, but his hands were stretched out desperately, and he actually intercepted the rebound ball directly in mid-air, and then pulled it hard to control the ball steadily.
Next is naturally the 76ers' best over-speed fast attack, Chen Mu's pass is like lightning, and he was picked up by Iguodala after rushing out quickly.
The captain of the Philadelphia Fast Break team rode into the dust, came to the front court and juggled a pass, and Korver, who had not scored for a long time, finally got a chance and hit a long-range two-pointer.
60-61, Philadelphia opened the second half with a 6-0 run, narrowing the gap to one point.
“DAMN!”
Evans couldn't help but scold angrily, glared viciously at Chen Mu, who was still standing in place and playing a long-distance finger finger pretending game with Iguodala, and couldn't wait to go forward and gnaw the other party's scalp directly.
For the next round, Evans was depressed. Probably tasting the power of Evans's constant entanglement, the Chinese kid began to completely change his style of play and played a cat-and-mouse game with Evans.
What is Evans' mission? Entangled! Continue to entangle Chen Mu, consume Chen Mu, and grab the rebound!
But what about the Chinese kids?
"This way, this way! Make up for it! ”
This hateful draft loss, while discreetly distancing himself from Evans, constantly directs his teammates to run. If Evans moves and goes in the direction of Chen Mu, Chen Mu will immediately start walking and continue to open the distance with his speed advantage.
"Smack!"
grabbed another rebound, Chen Mu used the same old method, let Evans go to the best rebounding point, and he was catching cicadas not far away. As soon as the basketball bounced, Chen Mu took off, and then reached out to grab the rebound ball before the basketball fell into Evans' bounce range.
"Attack!"
The fast break in the front court was replaced by Miller, Iguodala was entangled by Iverson and quickly sent a pass, Miller took a slow step to make a slow three-step layup, and the Nuggets back to the defense were stunned, and the old man picked his teeth and threw the ball in.
"This kid...... It's walking the dog! ”
Evans finally reacted at this time, and his own landing point judgment for every rebound cannot be said to be completely accurate, but most of them are not far from ten. There is no need to entangle with the Chinese kid, so that he can fall freely and quickly grab the best rebounding position.
But the Chinese small bullet speed and arm span height are above Evans, even if they deliberately pull away from the distance, they are always within the range of being able to reach the rebound ball with one hand.
As soon as the rebound appeared, Evans had just jumped, and the Chinese kid had already grabbed the ball and launched a fast attack.
This kind of rebounding scramble Fa Evans is unheard of, and instead of entanglement with the opponent's rebounding player, he is in the wrong position on the other side waiting for an early jump? What kind of rebounding is this?! It's clear that he bullied Evans in addition to his strength, and his physical fitness is weaker than himself!
Evans helplessly scolded Chen Mu's shameless tactics, saying that this was walking a dog, but the impulsive brain didn't turn a corner:
Chen Mu is walking now, isn't it Evans himself?
After seemingly scolding Chen Mu but actually scolding himself, Evans began to change his strategy, not caring about the rebounding point, running at full speed to entangle Chen Mu, even if I can't catch up with you, I can drive you all over the court like a chicken, right? As long as Chen Mu is controlled, the rebounding king, Philadelphia's weak overall rebounding ability is not worth mentioning, Camby's height is the highest in the game, and he is also a rebounding player, so grabbing a few frontcourt rebounds is not like playing?
Unfortunately, Evans miscalculated again.
"Andrey, Kyle!"
Seeing Evans' strategy, Chen Mu kept running and used his speed advantage to take Evans to continue to "walk the dog" in the half, but he shouted there.
Iguodala and Korver understood it, and after the Nuggets players shot, they immediately turned around and retreated, Korver stepped forward to make a cover to jam Evans, and Iguodala quietly came behind Camby, pretending to be in a position, one hand reached high to grab the rebound, and the other hand pressed in front of him and grabbed Camby's jersey tightly.
"Dang!"
After finally making a few offenses, the Nuggets offense missed again, the basketball flew high, Evans was stopped by Korver, Chen Mu was still running to the landing point, Camby was a pillar of optimus under the basket, there was no opponent in front of him, and he was about to jump to grab the rebound, but there was a sinking behind him.
"Pull the jersey so low?!"
Camby scolded secretly, but he didn't expect Iguodala, a "famous and decent family", to be taken away, and he made such a trick, and he hesitated in his heart, and a figure in front of him was already flying high.
"Smack!"
Chen Mu just happened to arrive at the horse, jumped up and grabbed the rebound, the fast attack couldn't be played, but it was not a problem to protect the rebound.
"Could it be that this guy didn't run with me before, but actually came to the rebound landing point?!"
Watching Chen Mu hand over the ball, Philadelphia slowly advanced the attack, and Evans really had a dead heart.
At this moment, he finally understood a truth:
There are some things that can't be made up for with hard work. (To be continued......)
