Chapter 767: Rookie and Old Bird

Of course, Chen Mu remembers that after Iverson became the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, there was a "tradition" that was not long-lasting.

Any rookie player who gets a personal honor such as Rookie of the Week or Rookie of the Month needs to play a round-robin heads-up match with the players on the team.

Chen Mu was the same at that time, after winning his first Player of the Week title in Philadelphia, he was also carried "on the street" by his teammates. The team staff who passed by along the way all threw a kind smile and congratulated Chen Mu.

After that, it's a round-robin heads-up tournament, where everyone is playing and no one really takes it seriously. But that heads-up match still left a deep impression on Chen Mu.

For the first time, he clearly knew how big a gap would be between himself and NBA-level players in a one-on-one heads-up without the interference of any other factors.

Of course, there is no way to compare players in different positions one-on-one. But this kind of heads-up competition is originally a game, a way for everyone to connect with each other. In addition, for professional players, face-to-face heads-up is not necessarily about who wins and who loses, but more often about the technical difference between themselves and the other party.

For example, Evans is on the inside and Iguodala is on the outside, but sometimes Iguodala has to protect the rebound. In a head-to-head battle with Evans, Iguodala undoubtedly has a great advantage, but as long as the ball does not go in, the rebound will almost always be grabbed by Evans.

In this process, Iguodala can personally understand how Evans is stuck and how to grab rebounds.

At that time, the big devil of the team's heads-up game was undoubtedly Iverson, and now the final boss of the heads-up game must be Chen Mu.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Swish! ”

β€œYES!”

The basketball is in the frame, and Curry's body has completely lost its center of gravity and leans back heavily. If Iguodala hadn't stepped forward in time to stop the game, the rookie would have fallen to the ground.

With his hands still in a shooting position, the feeling of the basketball in the frame is wonderful, and Curry just wants to live in that feeling for the rest of his life.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ DAMN! ”

Single-handedly with Curry, Carney, who was killed by this ball, was very unhappy, and slapped the basketball several times.

"Haha, luck luck ......"

Curry's emotional intelligence is not bad, and he saw that Carney was a little unhappy, but he was also a senior, so he immediately smiled and said a few words.

"Ah......? Oh, I'm fine, I'm not good enough to dribble, one-on-one heads-up is already a loss, I'm not angry about this. ”

Carney blinked, and the words that came out were confusing.

"Then you're angry? Rodney? ”

Chen Mu couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't ask if he cried or laughed.

"I'm angry about my defense, defense!"

Carney frowned and said: "The rookie just now, I can touch the ball, as long as I don't eat his back dribble and step back before, I can touch the ball!" I thought I didn't take precautions, so I got angry. ”

The spirit is good.

Chen Mu nodded and didn't say much, but his love for Carney in his heart was getting deeper and deeper.

Although it can basically be seen, Carney's ceiling is like that: bench rotation, offensive and defensive, the average contribution per game is proportional to the playing time, you give him 10 minutes, he will give you about 5 points and 2 rebounds.

After a few years of getting along, Chen Mu has enough understanding of the life trajectory of a young talent player like Carney.

Their bodies develop relatively early and they gain physical advantage earlier. In high school, the advantage of the physical crushing class became the so-called No. 1 high school student in the United States.

The physical talent advantage in college has declined, but it's still there, it's just not much. As a result, the stats dropped, the dominance of the pitch declined, and there was no way to lead the team to a big kill.

After that, I entered the NBA, started from the bottom, slowly found my feelings, and had a small upswing in the initial stage of my career.

So people began to reminisce and began to sigh:

Once upon a time, he was the No. 1 high school player in the United States!

There must be a lot of talent in him that has not been fulfilled!

For Carney, for Milicic, there were many people who had similar expectations. Including Chen Mu himself, he once hoped that they could play a more beautiful performance, and never go down the old path of the original timeline.

But ...... actually?

Perhaps, they have no possibility of becoming "that him" at all.

Everything is just people's psychological over-expectation because of their precocious physical fitness.

But for Carney, Chen Mu's feelings have long surpassed that of a teammate, a person who struggles to win together.

He's a partner.

At this moment, Chen Mu somewhat understood why some players were not outstanding in their personal abilities, but they could be favored by superstars. Let those superstars support him, stand up for him, and even if the management wants to take advantage of him, the superstars will be very, very unhappy, and even announce in public: I have him.

The simple Carney gave Chen Mu this feeling.

β€œNEXT~!”

After the victory, Curry was a little embarrassed, saying that he was embarrassed by Carney, but if he won heads-up, any athlete would be a little excited.

Curry, who had won two heads-up games in a row, couldn't hold back a smile on his face, looked back at his teammates, and for the first time felt that he might really be able to create something.

Then, that voice rang out.

"I'll do it."

"There's a good show to watch~"

Chen Mu was happy when he heard it, and pushed Iguodala next to him with his arm and said, "Mobile phone, mobile phone, is the mobile phone there?" Record it haha. ”

"Wait!"

Iguodala naturally understood, rushed to his backpack like the wind, took out his mobile phone and recorded directly.

"This ......"

Curry, who was on the court, looked back at the owner of the voice and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Timid? Scared? Don't dare to play?

No, but not excitement either.

It's a little ......

"Bang, bang, bang"

Seemingly casually lifted a basketball on the ground with one hand, and the movement was as light and agile as flowing water.

The domineering spirit that dominated the stadium in the past has changed its temperament with the passage of time.

It is no longer the only one in heaven and on earth, and it is no longer the one who has gone to me despite thousands of people.

It's the power of precipitation.

That's all I can contribute.

Alan Iverson, dribbling the ball to the court, when passing by Chen Mu's side, he slapped the basketball with one hand and made a fist with the other.

"Bang"

Chen Mu punched, and the two punched lightly.

"Ah...... Aaron and I go head-to-head......"

Watching Iverson's action on the court, Curry's heart involuntarily beat wildly.

Here it comes......!

In the minds of all small attacking defenders, the strongest person is going to fight me alone!

β€œ11? Or 21? ”

Coming to the top of the arc, Iverson asked with the ball dribbling.

β€œ10…… 11 bar! The losing side has the ball. ”

Curry replied.

"Three points determine the first power."

Iverson dropped a sentence and opened his hand to shoot a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

"I'll come first."

Both sides test the ball, Iverson attacks first!

"Bang, bang, bang"

The dribble speed is not fast, Iverson knows that Curry's footwork is not bad, and his reflexes are also good, and he is not in a hurry to attack.

Curry sat on his waist extremely low, his eyes fixed on basketball and Iverson's movement, meticulous defense.

"Bang!"

Acceleration on the left side!

Iverson put the ball in his left hand, accelerated suddenly, stepped out with his left and right feet, and dived past Curry's side.

Curry followed in time, and immediately retreated in two steps to block the position.

"Bang!"

The change of direction in front of the body, the change of direction of the court elves is a bit exaggerated, and it almost broke Curry's ankle.

Eh, be careful!

Chen Mu was watching from the side, Alun, you can be careful, don't fool our rookie and be lame!

So fast!

But...... I can keep up!

Curry is also a good hand at changing direction in front of the body, and no matter how big Iverson's amplitude is, it is just an ordinary change of direction, as long as you keep up with the pace......

"Bang!"

In reverse disguise, Iverson's continuous changes are not fast, but the rhythm is strange, which makes Curry a little confused.

Oops, the left side is going to be lost......

"Bang!!"

When he banged on the floor again, Curry even felt like a hole was going to be smashed out of the arena floor.

Can't keep up anymore.

It's impossible for me to keep up with this rhythm.

Shake over, hold the ball in one hand, and make a layup.

"Huh"

Basketball into the net.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Wow!!! ”

The video footage in Iguodala's hand suddenly shook violently, and the Philadelphia players in the stadium almost all went crazy and shouted like crazy.

"Good shot! What a ball!! ”

Chen Mu also looked high, this series of dribbling was like a return from the past, and Iverson was strolling around from beginning to end, playing Curry around.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's amazing. ”

Curry, who got the basketball, also frowned and shook his head, slapped the basketball a few times, and looked back at Iverson.

"It's your turn."

Iverson smiled, pleased with the sparkle in Curry's eyes.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Good! ”

Exchanging possession, Curry came to the top of the arc.

"Oh oh oh, here it is! The rookie is coming! ”

Iguodala's voice continued, and Carney, who was extremely dissatisfied with his performance just now, also became interested, staring at the court with wide eyes.

Curry began to dribble, not as aggressive as Iverson, and every ball went straight to the opponent's death hole, but it seemed a little restrained.

But the wave in the rhythm of the dribble can't be hidden.

How is he going to attack?

Chen Mu looked at it with interest, Curry failed to make several breakthrough attempts in a row, Iverson is experienced, and it is still a little difficult for Curry to shake him off without gambling on the premise of stealing.

"Bang Bang Bang"

After a series of dribbles and then stepped back, Curry lifted his upper body and wanted to shoot.

Iverson hurried to follow, his hands spread out.

"Bang"

EXTRA-DRIBLLE。

It was clear that he had made a complete prelude to the Buddha worship move, but Curry strangely added another dribble and retreated again.

Nima stepped back four times in a row???

What the hell is this rookie going to do......

"Whew!"

Iverson was already very tight, and the last time he stepped back, Curry didn't actually find much space.

But he still made a move.

The moment the basketball left his hand, Chen Mu blinked his eyes, and it was a moment.

When I opened it again, the ball was already flying in the air. (To be continued.) )
