Chapter 517: Hard Bones (1)

"Live in the United States! Live across the United States! Hahahaha! Let's take a look at MYBOY!! ”

On the sideline commentary stage, Barkley, who had not yet recovered from the special reaction brought to the fat man by the Denver Plateau, kept drinking water and wiping his sweat, while cheering loudly, as if celebrating that he had finally won the championship.

"Fake public and private, fortunately you are not the leader of our station, otherwise if you are asked to set the number of live broadcasts, it is estimated that 50 Philadelphia games will be broadcast!"

Old partner Smith complained on the sidelines about the obvious excitement of the fat man.

"No, no, no, I'm not that kind of person. Although the game in Philadelphia is very good, although MYBOY is unparalleled in the world, we also have to consider the mood of the fans of other teams, right? So I'm not going to broadcast 50 Philadelphia games a year. Barkley shook his head with a serious look and said, "I'll broadcast 98 shows." ”

Smith vomited blood.

"Hmm......? 98? ”

After vomiting blood, Smith realized that the number that the fat man had just said was a little wrong, and he was puzzled: "Did you teach yourself in math??" ”

"You're self-taught in math! Lao Tzu is a serious college dropout! Barkley waved his fist dissatisfied, wrenched his fingers and calculated: "82 games in the regular season, 16 games in the playoffs, a total of 98 games, Lao Tzu is not wrong!" ”

"Hehe, you mean Philadelphia can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs?" Smith roughly calculated, if a round is an average of 5 to 6 games, three rounds, almost 16 games.

“NONONO。”

Barkley shook his finger and smiled sheepishly: "I mean, Philadelphia can sweep four consecutive rounds in the playoffs and win the championship, hahahahaha......"

No one paid any attention to Barkley's nonsense, and on the field, the players from both sides entered the stadium and the game was about to begin.

The referee throws the ball into the air. Both sides jumped the ball, and Nene had more bounce and explosiveness than Milicic, and easily won the ball.

Defensive start!

Because of Milicic's lack of running and jumping ability, the 76ers are already very familiar with this way of starting, and the players were not surprised that they had to defend first on their side in the first offensive round.

This season's Nuggets don't seem to have changed much in terms of personnel compared to previous seasons. But why was it that in the 17 games since the start of the season, he was able to win a 13-4 record and compete with the Trail Blazers for the third place in the West?

Center forward Nene Hilario. Although explosiveness is not considered a top-notch choice, the technical level is steadily improving. In particular, the strange rhythm and small skills unique to South Americans have made him one of the league's first-line interior lines. Whether it is at both offensive and defensive ends, it has good combat power.

In the face of Milicic, Nene has a considerable degree of mobility, and if he can play his technical characteristics well and play more mid-range, it will have a big impact on Philadelphia's defensive camp.

Power forward Kenyon Martin is another year older, and his explosiveness continues to decline. But after many seasons of grinding. At this time, Martin's experience and body on the defensive end are at the best point in time.

Some commentators sometimes wonder if Martin had not suffered the knee injury that nearly ruined his career and had stayed with the Nets to play with Kidd. Maybe he could become the swing defender he is known for in history, and the offensive finisher who came close to James Worthy.

Small forward Anthony, whose stats this season are not eye-catching, is a pure scorer. The average score per game is only about 22 points, which makes some fans who only look at the data feel a little disappointed.

But a closer look at the Nuggets this season reveals that Anthony is undergoing the most important metamorphosis of his career. Defensively, he played the best performance of his career so far. The way of playing, which is not about data at all, the overall situation, and the mind are all at the peak of their careers.

Explosiveness and mobility have not declined significantly, and Anthony's data is obtained in an average of only about 34 minutes per game. If this continues, Anthony's high-level career season may be able to last for a few more years and become a Pierce-style evergreen.

On the court, the Nuggets attacked, Martin covered in the high post, and Anthony turned and went down. While taking a step outside to open up the space, it also gave Anthony a second layer of cover.

Anthony came to the three-second zone, and the basketball flew out of the hands of Billups at the top of the arc.

"Bang!"

Relay in the air!

“MEEEEEEEEEELO!”

The DJ shouted, the Pepsi Center was jubilant, and the fans rejoiced and cheered loudly for the team's ace.

Anthony himself reached out to straighten out his headband and walked back arrogantly.

"Wonderful fit! PERFECT TIMING! ”

On the commentary stage, Smith applauded the ball, and after praising it, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Carmelo didn't meet a real master traditional point guard at this time." If he could have teamed up with point guards of Chauncey, Jason, and Steve at the beginning of his career, his career would have been much easier! ”

"Steady, steady, hit a ball!"

Lowry controlled the ball, and the poor defense did not affect the mood of the 76ers players, who nodded their heads and ran to the front court.

Coming to the Nuggets halfcourt, Martin and Nene each had one side, one resisted Chen Mu, and the other stuck to Milicic, and there was no intention of targeting defense and covering a small area.

With a complete man-to-man defense, the Denver Nuggets are perhaps one of the few teams in the league that is almost physically free against the Philadelphia 76ers Flying Team. Even considering Korver's poor physical fitness and Milicic's slow pace, Denver has to surpass the 76ers in terms of physical talent.

It's so difficult!

Chen Mu was stuck by Martin here, completely ignoring issues such as the position of the offensive shot, and after devoting himself to defense, this mad dog-like stubborn style did make Chen Mu a little uncomfortable.

In terms of engine power, even if Martin has been overhauled, it is still quite good. Chen Mu wants to use speed to open up space, which is a bit difficult. After all, at the beginning of his career, Martin was a player who had defended small forwards and scoring guards, and it was no problem to deal with Chen Mu's sparse face frame skills.

And the back-to-back defense. It was originally Martin's strength, there was no advantage in strength, and Chen Mu's height was not much different from Martin, and under the entanglement of the two, Chen Mu actually failed to take much advantage.

"Chen!"

Lowry sent the ball, Chen Mu raised it high and turned around after receiving the ball, and swept a figure from behind him, and immediately put the basketball behind him, and sent the ball out of his hand.

Iguodala catches the ball and sprints!

The Philadelphia Flyers, who were physically strong, broke through diagonally and tore a hole in the Nuggets' ribs. Like a dagger, it stabbed the opponent's death hole.

"Defense!"

Anthony couldn't keep up with Iguodala's speed, and the most important thing was that at the moment when he ran past Chen Mu, Iguodala also made a slight breakthrough line adjustment. This time the adjustment is very subtle, but at this point in time, the Chinese kid has a small horizontal shift. The range of action was not enough for the referee to blow for a covering foul, but it happened to jam Anthony's big ass.

This cooperation is difficult to reflect on the TV screen, and the fans at the scene have not been able to see the clues. There are only Nuggets players who are fighting against Chen Mu and others. to appreciate the subtlety.

The reason why the Philadelphia 76ers have risen this season is not just because of the change of coach and the improvement of the players.

This gradual refinement of subtleties, this tacit feeling that can only be thoroughly cultivated after working together for several seasons. is the key to Philadelphia's take-off.

"I'm coming!"

Nene hurriedly turned around to make up for the defense, Iguodala came to the basket and passed the ball without looking at anyone, and the basketball was sent out from the side of the inner waist and went straight to the baseline.

Milicic waited a long time. After receiving the ball, he just wanted to make a shot, but Martin's shadow appeared in front of him again.

What a typical American basketball!

Milicic secretly screamed badly, and looked up to see that Chen Mu had already had an empty space near the free throw line. However, he suffered from poor passing skills and could not directly send assists.

What to do?!

This kind of quick extension and defense, using mobility and physical advantage to defend against each other, is very unaccustomed to Milicic. At the moment when the basketball in his hand was about to be lost, Milicic noticed that Chen Mu moved sideways and ran to the back of his body.

Pass!

With this move, Milicic was finally able to deliver a pass. The moment Chen Mu received the ball in the ribs, Billups wrapped up again, slapped his right hand hard, and saw that he was about to knife off the basketball.

It's just that Chen Mu's purpose was not to do it himself.

Because at the same time as this move, Korver understood and had already gone down to the bottom corner. Chen Mu's body just stuck the Nuggets' defensive line, and the moment Korver came to the corner, Chen Mu's pass was sent.

The marksman was empty, only the basket hanging high.

Sell!

Korver didn't make any adjustments, Chen Mu's passing was always so comfortable, and he shot three points directly after receiving the ball.

“…… Well?! ”

The moment the basketball left his fingers, Korver was still enjoying the feeling of perfect rhythm when he saw a figure fly.

Dundee Jones, the inconspicuous defensive starting No. 2 in the star-studded Nuggets, somehow came to Korver. Once he jumped, his explosive physical fitness was fully revealed, and with a wave of his big hand, he fanned the ball out of the bottom line.

“…… Wow!!! ”

Wonderful defensive performance, after Jones landed, he also roared to the sky, the fans in the audience cheered, and as soon as the game started, the Nuggets entered the best state!

It's really different.

Panting for breath, he reached out and patted Korver's head, signaling the good brothers not to care, but Chen Mu's eyes were always staring at the Nuggets players.

can only attack, and can attack and defend, it is really completely different!

Since we have a tactical fit, you can always use your physicality to defend in place......

Then there is only one way to go.

Iguodala went to serve the ball, and before he could see where his teammates were, he heard a familiar shout.

"Put, ball, give, me!" (To be continued.) )

PS: I remember playing when I was a student, and there were many people who imitated Kobe. Further on, it's imitating Jordan, imitating Iverson, and so on.

LeBron is too difficult to imitate, there are fewer people who imitate it, and without that body, it is difficult to play his domineering.
