Chapter 37: Scoring Core [Third Update, Ask for Recommendation!] 】
"Bang......!"
As Chen Mu jumped high, his body also began to twist in the air with the strong waist and abdominal force, and he actually made a 180-degree turn under the basket, and then raised his hands high, grabbed the basketball that had just popped up near the basket, and dunked it fiercely.
“WOW……!”
On Chen Mu's side, Webb was trapped with a knee injury and was no longer able to make such gorgeous movements. Thinking back to the heroic posture when his athleticism was still at its peak a few years ago, I couldn't help but sigh.
"If it were me, would I be able to make such a deduction?"
Webb thought about it in his mind and came up with the answer: Yes.
However, it's one thing to make a move, it's another thing to be able to tell where the rebound landed so quickly, start running the moment the shot is interfered with, and get to the basket to grab the basket and dunk it accurately.
Chris Webber, during his short but illustrious career, was also considered a rebounding geek.
Although at the beginning of his debut, Webb was still arguing with head coach Nelson because of the question of whether he would become a Magic or Malone in the future.
History can't be repeated, so we may never know what Weber would have achieved if he had followed the path of a magician.
But as Vicky, who now sits in the Spurs head coach's seat and was then the Warriors head coach and assistant to Nelson, put it:
"What kind of player a rookie can become in the end is really just a matter of moments."
And at this moment, Webb seemed to see the moment when the yellow-skinned big man in front of him would continue to enrich his arsenal and eventually become a big killer at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Back on the court, Chen Mu and Iverson fist each other, returned to the basket and began to prepare for defense.
The sideline camera not far away pushed the camera to the rookie's face, only to see a rare murderous aura appear on Chen Mu's face, his brows were furrowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly drooping, as if he was very dissatisfied with everything in front of him, and he still had the strength to use it yet.
This shot was quickly put on the big screen high in the center of the stadium, and the fans in the SBC arena looked up, and when they saw this expression, they suddenly felt a little empty in their hearts for no reason.
"This rookie, how many points are you going to score on our Duncan today......?"
Many people are starting to think about this question.
The basketball was constantly transmitted in the hands of the Spurs players, and the always calm Shifo Duncan seemed to have been aroused by Chen Muyi's strong performance after he came on the court, and actually took the initiative to start a key position under the basket, gently protecting Chen Mu's body behind him with one hand, preventing him from going around the front defense, and the other hand was raised high, shouting to Parker for the ball.
The basketball was smoothly delivered to Duncan's hands, recalling that after Chen Muyi came on the court, he used almost the same tactics to run out of the position twice in a row, once he made a mid-range shot, and once he scored a supplementary dunk, Duncan had a rare fighting spirit in his heart, and quickly relied on it, and then suddenly slapped the basketball quickly, and turned around the bottom line.
"Think beautifully......
Chen Mu moved sideways, stuck to the bottom line, but the moment he was just in place, he felt that something was wrong.
The moment Duncan turned around, he immediately adjusted his body and turned away with his left foot in the opposite direction.
"Is it another step up and down?!"
Chen Mu hurriedly retreated, returned to the left side of the two bodies to defend, and did not let Duncan score a layup.
But Duncan made an unexpected choice.
“FadeAway!”
After turning around again, Duncan did not hesitate to shoot a backward jumper, although the backward jumper, at this point in time, is not the killer feature of the most powerful forward, but with a soft feel that is rare among big men, as well as an amazing arm span, Duncan's backward jump still has a certain accuracy.
"Huh"
Basketball entered the frame, and the Spurs overtook the score, 19-18, leading by one point!
"......!"
In Chen Mu's heart, the unruly flame had burned to the extreme, and after sending out the bottom line ball, he said to Iverson again: "Give me the next ball, I want to get it back......!" ”
"Hey~"
Iverson liked this Chinese kid who refused to admit defeat more and more, and stretched out his hand behind Chen Mu and pushed: "Then hurry up and move your damn long legs to the front!" ”
Iverson dribbled like flying, and Chen Mu once again made the same cooperation around the bottom line as Weber.
"To whom? Is it to attract the bag to Webb and then transfer it to the Chinese kid? Or just make a ball for the Chinese kid?? ”
The Spurs were in chaos under the basket, Duncan and Finley didn't think about how to defend for a while, seeing that Chen Mu was about to run in place, Duncan whispered in Finley's ear: "Don't change the defense!" ”
The basketball was smoothly delivered to Chen Mu at this moment, Duncan stepped in, quickly stuck the position, and stretched out his long arm to completely seal Chen Mu's offensive line, leaving no gaps.
"It deserves to be the number one striker ...... both offense and defense!"
Chen Mu looked up, although Duncan's defense was not very aggressive, but every step was extremely accurate, and there was no flaw in the position of his arms and the position of his body.
Originally, Duncan's height had an advantage, and Chen Mu had to fight the offensive end, but now he was forced to defend and it was even more difficult.
"In this case, you should use this trick ......!"
Chen Mu stepped down, made up space with a tentative step, and then quickly collected the ball, raised his hand slightly, and made a gesture to shoot.
"Uh-huh......?!"
Duncan hurriedly stepped forward to press, but this grab became Chen Mu's breakthrough.
At the moment when Duncan grabbed it, Chen Mu was short and began to dribble quickly. Although the dribbling ability is very inferior, and the ball dribbles a little, but when he is only a few steps away from the basket, this dribbling is not difficult for Chen Mu.
"This kid ......!"
Duncan only then understood Chen Mu's purpose, and it was too late to turn back, so he could only watch Chen Mu run quickly past his side, and then flew up with a step, like a dragon soaring, and rushed towards the basket.
"Want to dunk ......??"
Duncan's hand involuntarily gently pushed Chen Mu behind him, this small action did not escape the referee's eyes, with a whistle, Chen Mu's air posture paused, the center of gravity was affected, and he hurriedly threw his hand indiscriminately, and then his head fell down.
"Beep!!"
The referee's whistle was sharp, and Duncan also came back to his senses instantly under the whistle, and hurriedly reached out to catch Chen Mu.
"Whew......!"
Chen Mu only felt that there was a pair of thick hands behind him firmly protecting him, and the impact of landing was rapidly buffered, and then he returned to the ground safely.
“SORRYSORRY……”
Duncan kept apologizing behind Chen Mu, and gently patted Chen Mu's shoulder with his hand, and said, "I'm sorry Chinese boy, I don't know what happened to me just now, I shouldn't have made such a bad move......"
"It's okay~"
Chen Mu turned around and smiled: "Even the stone Buddha has been anxious by me, doesn't it prove my strength......?" Hahaha......"
“……”
Watching Chen Mu walk onto the free throw line, Duncan shook his head with a smile.
This Chinese kid seems to have a kind of magic in his body, although his skills are still very immature, but I don't know why, as soon as I see him, people have a kind of momentum to want to compete with him.
"This guy, but less than 18 years old, is still playing on instinct in theory, but somehow, in his movements, there seems to be a maturity beyond his age."
Watching Chen Mu hit the first free throw, Duncan couldn't help but think of the situation when he accompanied the team to the Western Conference Finals against the Phoenix Suns about half a year ago.
"That kid is only 22 or 23 years old......! It's unbelievable to be able to average 37 points per game on my head......"
Chen Mu's second free throw missed, Duncan grabbed the rebound, handed the ball to Ginobili's control, and thought as he ran to the frontcourt:
"There seems to be a trace of that kid's shadow on this Chinese kid's body......"
Mid-shot and violent dunk, these two simplest and most basic ways to score big men, if they can be integrated and combined, how much power can they produce?
After receiving the ball, when there are two options, breakthrough and shooting, and the success rate of both options is high, how should the defender defend?
Even if you know that the opponent will definitely shoot this ball, there is no way to pat your chest and say, "Just leave it to me", right?
Amarestad Meyer's performance in the 2005 Western Conference Finals left a deep impression on Duncan and the world.
Only mid-range shots and violent dunks can still become the team's scoring core ......!
And then, it became the performance moment of the core of the two teams' interior scoring.
Duncan catches the ball, runs in with his back, and hits a hook shot before Webb can help defend!
Chen Mu rebounded in the front court, passed the ball to Iverson and bypassed Webb's cover, and hit the ball in the middle of the catch!
Duncan and Parker blocked and dismantled high, and after going down, they still scored the ball crookedly in the confrontation!
Chen Mu grabbed the backcourt rebound, handed it over to Iverson to control, and quickly ran to the front court to score a dunk!
Duncan receives the ball from mid-range and hits the board at a 45-degree angle!
Chen Mu received the ball in the middle of the march and forced to jump low to score a layup!
……
The next quarter and a half of the game completely became Chen Mu and Duncan's personal performance, although the rhythm of the whole first half was not fast, but the fans were fascinated by it.
"Finally...... After Amare, there is another power forward, and he can enter the mutual explosion mode with Tim......! ”
The on-site commentators were also impressed by Chen Mu's performance and couldn't help shouting. The fans at the Spurs home stadium were also quite friendly, and when Chen Mu started to score, they booed from time to time.
But soon after, after the fans found out that Duncan had scored, Chen Mu would immediately grit his teeth and return the color, and those boos gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of admiration.
"Toot ......!"
The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and the Spurs led by two points at home 45-43 and the game went into halftime.
played 13 minutes, shot 6 of 8, made 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, which is the half-time data handed over by Chen Mu.
"Chen, go back to the locker room!"
The teammates called out to Chen Mu, but the latter sat on the bench, panting for breath while waving his hand and saying, "You...... Go first, I'll ...... I want to rest...... ......
In front of Chen Mu's eyes, his legs were trembling slightly involuntarily, and a violent strangeness came, making him frown and hum softly.
"My legs ...... What's going on......??! ”
