Chapter 496: The Stone Buddha?
Once Eastern Week is the best, which can be used to upgrade the badge once.
What is the most important thing against Spurs?
"Speed up."
Before the game, Carlisle gave this answer.
"Their inside and outside speed is not good, and positional battles can rely on changing positions to supplement the defense to maintain defensive continuity. But when it comes to switching between attack and defence, they turn too slowly, like the defenders of the German team on the football field. β
No one laughed out loud at a bad joke, and Carlisle coughed awkwardly and said, "In short, we have to launch a quick counterattack, mainly to hit the ball behind their inside." Chen, find a way to grab rebounds, blocks, and steals in the backcourt, and then make long passes as soon as possible. You should all be good at it. β
"No problem."
Chen Mu nodded, and immediately turned the badge of the "Fast Attack Initiator" from copper to silver after returning home.
But how useful will this badge be in the game? Chen Mu didn't know either.
The Spurs will definitely try their best to keep the tempo down and play a slow offense. And the Spurs' defensive execution will also make Philadelphia's offensive tactics unable to run as smoothly as before.
In other words, in this game, there are not so many advantages that can be relied on tactically.
"You have to be prepared, this match, it is estimated that there will be many rounds, and you will need to solve the battle on your own."
Before going on the field, Carlisle reminded Chen Mu with a solemn face.
Singled out!
Chen Mu held the ball, faced Duncan's flawless defense at the free throw line, opened up space with a triple threat, and then suddenly started to retreat to find a shooting opportunity.
Duncan's mobility ability has rebounded a lot after losing weight, coupled with his height and arm span that can be called a bug in the fourth position, he took a big step up and grabbed it, without leaving too much space for Chen Mu, and the defense was still airtight.
Chen Mu didn't collect the ball, rarely dribbled the ball more, and then his body was short, and he broke through Duncan's side forward.
It's so fast......!
Seeing Chen Mu rushing like lightning. Duncan was also surprised. There is no problem with consciousness, but in terms of legs and feet, Duncan is already difficult to keep up with Chen Mu's speed. Finally turned around, Chen Mu had already strengthened.
"Beep! Spurs No. 21, beater foul! β
βOWβ¦β¦β
The fans in the AT&T Center Arena booed dissatisfied, but the referee's decision was fine, and Chen Mu stood on the free throw line, and was lucky to hit both free throws.
The Spurs attacked, and Parker controlled the ball and wandered around strangely. Lowry's defense is effective against players who rely on speed, but Parker's offensive options have always been weird. A rhythm stops sharply, shakes off a bit of gap, and makes a sideways jumper in the middle distance.
Philadelphia countered and began to run Carlisle's elaborate tactics, with Lowry and Iguodala on the outside starting to run a figure-eight, and Chen Mu receiving the ball near the top of the arc to draw Duncan out of the three-second zone.
Although the current registered positions of the two are different, they defend Chen Mu. Popovich wasn't stupid enough to use Bonner to him. Almost every round was misplaced, with Bonner keeping an eye on Milicic and Chen Mu leaving Duncan to take care of.
It's good to have three points of threat!
Seeing himself standing outside the three-point line, the opponent did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Chen Mu's heart was so happy that his eyes couldn't stop scanning the running positions of his teammates.
Iguodala ran behind Chen Mu, and when he feigned to catch the ball, he suddenly turned around and jammed Roger Mason.
Korver fell into the bottom corner. Quietly spread his hands.
Pass!
Chen Mu pushed the ball sideways with both hands, causing Duncan to hurriedly stretch out his long arm to interfere. But at the moment when Duncan's center of gravity shifted, the Spurs' overall defense line was biased to one side. Chen Mu suddenly collected the ball and began his personal attack without warning.
Killed from Duncan's side, strode into the inside, without Duncan's Spurs penalty area, although Bonner's strength is good, but to stop Chen Mu in the sky, it is an impossible task.
Carrying Bonner hard and forcing a layup, Chen Mu scored two more points, still continuing the offensive firepower that broke out at the beginning.
"The 76ers are going to grab the rhythm!"
Smith saw the clue and said loudly: "The Spurs want to keep the rhythm down, but the 76ers obviously won't let the big devil do that." The current offensive rhythm is very fast, I want to grab the rhythm, bring the Spurs up, and play the fast offense and defense that the 76ers are good at! Will Spurs be fooled? β
"Hehe, apart from being fooled, what other countermeasures do you think Spurs can use?" Barkley shook his head with a smile on the side: "MYBOY's offense has been completed, and there will be a threat as soon as it passes halftime, which team in the league can stop him?" β
"If you can't stop him, how can you defeat the 76ers?"
Everything is as Barkley said, the 76ers used Chen Mu's personal offensive containment to drive the rhythm and force the Spurs to play fast offense and defense. Even used a defensive strategy of close pressing in the half court in some rounds, which was to make the Spurs' ball possession not work smoothly and create offensive problems for the Spurs.
This season's Spurs are not a strong offensive team, and in the face of such a chaotic punch to kill the master's style of play, they are actually a little messy, one mistake, two missed shots, the ball was caught by Chen Mu, and then turned around and sent out a long port.
"Ding!"
The silver badge flashed, Chen Mu's passing route was suffocating, and the incredible long pass rushed through most of the court and went straight to the hands of the players who were fast down, scoring easily.
"The rhythm was caught by the 76ers!"
Smith couldn't stop nodding, this season's 76ers, compared with the previous "Avengers", seems to have a slight change in temperament. Although I can't say what this temperament means for the time being, Smith vaguely feels that this 76ers are no longer the same.
"It's the temperament of a strong team."
Watching Chen Mu once again single-handedly challenge Duncan and high-five his teammates to celebrate, Barkley said quietly: "The Philadelphia 76ers have the temperament of a strong team. β
"Just like when I was on the team, hahahahaha!"
It's only three seconds handsome, and it's the fat man......
Halfway through the first quarter, Chen Mu was unusual, only once after the opening of the game, he used the running position to score open positions, and the rest of the time he was extremely tough and directly launched a one-on-one heads-up against Duncan.
Why is that?
Fans may not really see it, but Popovich on the Spurs bench on the sidelines can see it very clearly, the old coach is frowning, his nose is red, and his face is very ugly.
"Do you want to make Tim's foul and knock him down......?"
Looking back at Carlisle, who was much younger than him on the other side, Zhuge was faintly uneasy in his heart.
"By destroying Tim's defense. to completely dismantle our defensive system, this move...... It's really a salary! β
That's right, the Spurs' defense is second in the league, which is quite amazing.
But this season's Spurs, the entire defensive focus is almost only maintained on one person, and the rest, whether it is Parker or Finley, or Bonner or Ginobili, are all flawed defenders.
If Duncan can be beaten, the 76ers have a good chance of winning!
The Spurs attacked, and Ginobili, who came off the bench, made a breakthrough. The serpentine layup was successful, and the 76ers did not give the Spurs a chance to breathe at all, and immediately counterattacked with a quick baseline ball.
After coming to the front court, Chen Mu actually deliberately took the ball, on the one hand, because the running position of his outside teammates had been seen to death by the Spurs, and on the other hand, Chen Mu was also deliberately waiting for someone to step forward.
βI-GOT-THISοΌβ
Tim Duncan, back.
"Pull away!"
Luo Rui saw Chen Mu's intentions alertly, and immediately called on everyone to open up the space. gave Chen Mu enough space to play singles.
Now Milicic in the center position, the half-volley is also a certain threat, and the Spurs will never dare to let it go easily, so they can only use Duncan to defend Chen Mu alone.
The past of being beaten again and again by Duncan. They were all recalled in Chen Mu's mind, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, Chen Mu fell into a low position and went head-to-head with his back!
"Bang, bang, bang"
The sound of muscles colliding was heard. Chen Mu played extremely tough, and Duncan did not back down, and the focus of the audience instantly focused on the two. The atmosphere froze instantly.
Collecting the ball and turning around, Chen Mu chose to go to the middle a little, shook Duncan's center of gravity lightly, and then retracted his left foot, turned back to the baseline to face the basket.
"It's time to make a move!"
Seeing Chen Mu's body raised, Smith exclaimed, but Barkley on the side smiled silently, shook his head slightly, and said, "I won't make a move." β
"The Chinese kid wants to make Tim's foul, so this time, he won't make an easy shot!"
Jump!
Duncan is a top defender who rarely shakes, but Chen Mu's turnaround and backward jumper is too threatening, even Duncan does not dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly jumps to try to block.
At this moment, Chen Mu had a wonderful change in rhythm, leaning forward, and stood up under Duncan's long arms.
Will it blow??
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle blew and the audience was silent!
"Spurs No. 21, defensive foul, 76ers No. 5 free throws twice!"
"Duncan has committed two crimes!"
Smith couldn't believe that Duncan, who had an incomparable amount of defensive experience, would actually let Chen Mu make two fouls so solidly, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't help shaking his head in confusion.
"That's the strategy."
Barkley smiled mysteriously on the side: "Stone Buddha is old, physical strength is on the one hand, and on the other hand, his reaction speed has also decreased. The mind can keep up, but the body can't keep up with the speed of the mind. To defend Chen Mu, you have to move in advance! β
Moving ahead of schedule?
Smith seemed to understand what Barkley meant, and Duncan was substituted as Chen Mu hit his first free throw.
The backbone of the Spurs, the absolute core of the team's defense, committed two fouls in the first quarter, and the Spurs are in deep crisis!
On the other hand, Chen Mu, who had not returned to this personal strong attack for a long time, also felt a trace of fatigue. Duncan's defense is not a joke, these two fouls, Chen Mu spent a lot of physical strength in order to shake out space, I'm afraid only Chen Mu and Duncan know.
"It's not over yet."
The second free throw missed, the Spurs dribbled and launched a counterattack, and Chen Mu's face was as usual.
"Duncan goes down, it's just the beginning, to win, you have to do everything you can to open up the score during this time......!" (To be continued.) )
PS: In the new season, one opponent after another, we will overturn them!
What the? How many are on the ...... together?
Belch...... Anyway, I'm here to hit the MVP! What are you all going to do?
