Chapter 251: Hit the weak point
Win!
The most suspenseful set of matchups in the first round of the playoffs, the first game was really uneventful, there was not much suspense from beginning to end, and the 76ers were pinned to the ground by the Pistons away, and there was no chance to resist at all.
But at the post-match press conference, a wave of not too big or too small was surging in the dark.
Winning?
The 76ers core general gave a game outlook at the press conference so concise and categorical, but the words he said were so arrogant.
Winning?
The weak 76ers want to win on the road?
It's a fantasy!
You know, before the game started, almost all commentators agreed that the 76ers would be swept in this series.
Only two of those camps have a clear banner and believe that the 76ers have a chance to win a game and not be swept out.
One of them is naturally the Philadelphia City Newspaper, and Justin, as the royal reporter of Chen Mu and others, has a very firm position. In order to attract a young reader group with fighting spirit and spirit, the city newspaper basically put on such an attitude. Losing is inevitable, but who says it will be a sweep?
The second one who supports the 76ers and Chen Mu to win a city is Barkley.
As Chen Mu's brainless fan, Barkley likes this young man who is sometimes arrogant, but can clean up his big words with actions on the court, and thinks it is somewhat similar to when he was young. Both played in Philadelphia in the early part of their careers, playing power forwards, and both are rebounders and all-rounders, this wonderful bond makes Barkley support Chen Mu without hesitation.
It's just that both the City Newspaper and Barkley believe that if Philadelphia wants to win the next game, the best chance is the first game of the series.
Since Philadelphia was not confirmed to make the playoffs until the end of the season, after the final game to be exact, before that. A super strong team like the Pistons, I'm afraid the 76ers won't be studied too thoroughly.
The difference in strength is obvious, and the strong team must do their homework before the start of the game, but it is not necessary to do too detailed homework. As long as you win the series steadily, why be so serious about winning the round?
And now, after the first game, the 76ers lost without suspense, and from the perspective of the scene, there was no chance at all, whether it was the player's individual performance or tactical arrangement, they were eaten to death by the Pistons. Next game to win? Even the City Newspaper and Barkley don't think Philadelphia still has a chance.
If you say that after returning to the home field. The 76ers collectively exploded, and they happened to run into the Pistons, and it was not impossible to win such a game. But isn't that a fact that there are so many premises for this result prove how difficult it is to do?
What's more, when Chen Mu said about winning, he didn't mean winning after returning to his home stadium, but that he would win the second game.
The second game, still played at the home court of the Pistons, Philadelphia itself was weaker than the opponent. Want to win away from home? It's too hard, it's too hard.
So when everything that happened at the post-game press conference was reported by major media outlets, there was an uproar among basketball fans across the United States.
There are a total of eight groups of matchups in the first round of the Eastern and Western playoffs, and the most suspenseful group of games, the losing weak team actually wants to win away? This Chinese kid. It can't be a drug, right??
There was a lot of discussion among fans across the United States, and many people scoffed at Chen Mu's remarks, and even Justin and Barkley, who were clear-cut, also reported and commented on Chen Mu's remarks in their respective media.
Youngster. It's good to have hard work, but if there is no hope, don't be too arrogant!
Chen Mu said. With Iguodala and Carney on the side, forming the appearance of the 76ers after the game loss, except for coach Cheeks, the boys in Philadelphia seem to really want to win an away game.
The next day's recuperation period, the Philadelphia boys were under great pressure, not only the local Philadelphia old-school media, but also the media and ball critics across the United States were criticizing Philadelphia, and neutral fans were also quite disdainful of the remarks of Chen Mu and others.
Fortunately, among the billions of people in the world, there is still a small wave of people who have an absolutely unconditional support for Chen Mu's words.
"Brother Mu, come on!"
Two days later, the second match of the first round started, and three hours before the start of the game, Chen Mu received a text message from Su Yin on his mobile phone before he entered the warm-up.
Seeing the text message, Chen Mu's heart warmed, and the fists that had been clenched tightly were slightly relaxed, only to feel that there seemed to be such a momentum behind him, which was supporting him to move forward.
In four simple words, Su Yin didn't say anything more like "you must defeat them" and "give them a good look", obviously the delicate little Nizi knew very well in her heart that she couldn't put more pressure on Chen Mu at this time, a simple word of cheering was enough.
"It's going to win."
Chen Mu replied to such a piece, looking at the text on the mobile phone screen, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw on the Internet yesterday.
Chen Mu Chinese network, wood chip base camp.
On the forum, in the discussion area about the game, posts related to Chen Mu's remarks at the post-match press conference almost filled the screen.
Naturally, many of them expressed disdain, said they wanted to see jokes, said they were waiting to be slapped in the face, and even some of the posters could be clearly found to be not Chen Mu's fans, but because of this press conference, they specially found the sawdust base camp, and specially posted to mock after registering an ID.
This can be regarded as increasing traffic to the website!
Chen Mu didn't care and smiled.
What moved Chen Mu was that in this overwhelming wave of ridicule, the IDs he was most familiar with were still sparing no effort to support him.
"Boss, come on! You can definitely win the game! ”
"Sawdust will always hold you up! Chen Muxiong rises! ”
"Philadelphia will not be swept away, if you want to fight, you will fight!"
These remarks are all from the most primitive batch of IDs in the sawdust base camp, these people are Chen Mu's iron fans who have been obsessed with Chen Mu when he was still in his rookie year, saying that they are brain-dead fans or irrational, in short, when their idols were ridiculed by the group, they stood up and guarded the dignity of Chen Mu on the Internet.
"Jingle Bells"
is lamenting the persistence of the sawdust. Chen Mu's mobile phone rang again, and when he looked down, Yin'er's reply came.
"I believe in you."
It's still four words, and it's still a very simple sentence.
The warm current became more powerful, flowing in Chen Mu's heart, bringing new vitality to his limbs, which were slightly stiff because of nervousness.
Sure to win!
Chen Mu gritted his teeth and nodded, walked into the court and began to warm up.
Isn't Chen Mu nervous when he says such words?
The captain of the team will make such an arrogant oath, aren't Iguodala worried?
Nervous, of course. Of course worried.
However, if you give up fighting because you are nervous and worried, what face will you have to continue to stand on the court?
Fight!
The players are full of forbearance in their hearts, not too excited, not too negative, and will maintain the good in a delicate state.
This state of physical excitement and calm mind is a state in which players can perform at their best.
"Tactics don't need to be adjusted, the general direction remains the same. Attack quickly, counterattack, pursue speed, and play more resolutely! ”
The warm-up and entrance ceremony ends. As the game was about to begin, Cheeks poured the last bowl of chicken soup for the soul on the sidelines to the players.
"The positional battle handed over all the balls to Chen, although it was a bit cruel to say, but since it was decided to win. It is necessary to be calm and rational, and not to be shaken by feelings. ”
Cheeks made a tactical stroke in his hand, and the Pistons made a half-court basket. After a few simple passes, the two players in the basket switched positions.
Chen Mu played against Weber, who played as a center forward, and formed a dislocation that was not considered a dislocation......
"Hit their weak spots!"
"Yes!"
Veteran Webber, the weakest defensive link in the Pistons' starting bucket lineup, has become the target of the 76ers' key attack.
Ten minutes later, the game began.
Rashid won the ball for the Pistons, and the home team began to dribble and advance amid the cheers of the fans, and when they came to the frontcourt, they covered the run with a high position, and Billups pouted his big ass against Miller, and then suddenly made a hand-to-hand pass, and the basketball flew to the weak side.
A figure who looked a little thin on the field jumped out, and after receiving the ball, he opened his hand and shot a mid-range shot.
"Huh"
The Pistons opened the game, still focusing on the outside cooperation of Billups and Hamilton, staring at the 76ers' defensive holes in Korver and sparing no effort to strike.
"Cheer up!"
Sending out the baseline ball, Chen Mu ran to the front court, and said loudly to the somewhat lost Korver: "He is a shooter, you are also a shooter, your shooting is not worse than him at all, cheer up!" ”
“…… Well! ”
Korver, the team's most emotionally susceptible man, nodded heavily and ran out of position.
Falling into position, the 76ers' tactical coordination was very simple, with Miller quickly handing over the ball to Iguodala who was out of the pocket, and falling near the baseline to make a cover for Durham Porter.
Miller's strength is naturally impossible to withstand Weber, but it doesn't matter whether he can withstand it or not, as long as he can contain Weber's footsteps and make him unable to follow up at the first time, Miller's task will be completed.
Everything went as Philadelphia wanted, and Delham Porter ran to the other side of the basket, and Webb was instantly pinned down by Miller and couldn't catch up. On the other side, Chen Mu also began to run, the bottom line crossed and changed, Miller retreated, the strong side of the court, and Chen Mu and Weber singles were formed.
Iguodala did not hesitate to pass the ball immediately, Weber's height and arm span are the same as Chen Mu, and now that his athleticism is lost, he naturally can't stop Chen Mu from receiving the ball.
After receiving the ball, Chen Mu immediately began to turn around as soon as he dribbled, Rashid is not a vegetarian, and after seeing through the 76ers' arrangement, he will definitely let go of Dyham Porter to pinch Chen Mu.
Chen Mu wants to complete the first step of targeted strikes before this.
Sure enough, Rashid decisively let go of Daimpoter, who did not have a mid-distance crosshair, and stretched out his long arm to interfere with Chen Mu, Chen Mu turned to the bottom line, attracting Rashid to the middle quickly after being in place, and then raised his left hand and hooked his hand in a wonderful posture.
It's too far!
Not only the Pistons players, but even the audience saw that Chen Mu's position this time was a little farther than his usual hook hand, although it was only a half-step gap, but for interior players, any trace of distance change would lead to a great reduction in the stability of the shot.
Chinese boy, are you in too much of a hurry?
Just when the fans and players were puzzled, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand was still thrown out, and with that familiar action, the basketball crossed a semicircle in the air, and then slipped high and fell smoothly into the basket.
"What a signature move!"
Chen Mu had a confident smile on his face, stared at the basket again, and then walked back to the defense.
"Tiangou, it's really an excellent choice for your signature move!" (To be continued......)
