Chapter 63: Pastoral Tactics

"Shaq, it's Shaq who catches the ball again, and singles out the Chinese kid with his back under the basket!"

On the court, the game was in full swing, and the Heat replaced the starting center Shark O'Neal on the court after a personnel rotation.

Under Pat Riley's exquisite tactical arrangement, the individual abilities of the Heat team have been declining, and the basketball IQ has reached the highest point of their careers, and the old players have begun to play their role.

Every move, every touch, every choice, every action, has a specific purpose.

All of these objectives converged to form Pat Riley's short-term approach to warfare:

Give the ball to O'Neal, let him attack and defend against Chen Mu in a misplaced position under the basket, and devour Chen Musheng alive!

"Good...... What a power! ”

Chen Mu's waist sat extremely low, and his left hand was almost horizontally in front of him, carrying O'Neill's extremely broad back.

Although on the other side, Chen Mu's right hand was symbolically opened to prevent O'Neal from choosing to pass, everyone could see that O'Neill would definitely not pass the ball again in the next few minutes of the game.

"Bang!"

When he came to the basket, O'Neill suddenly turned to the right with agility that was completely inconsistent with his huge body, and when he came to Chen Mu's side, he gently hugged Chen Mu's waist with his right hand, and stuck Chen Mu cleanly behind him, and then jumped up and buckled his hands into the frame.

β€œNO……!”

The fans were almost wailing, and many of them covered their eyes with their hands, barely able to bear to look directly at the scene on the field.

The third goal, this is the third goal that O'Neal hit in the face of Chen Mu after he came on the court.

For three rounds in a row, the Heat executed their tactics flawlessly, teasing the 76ers' already shaky defense.

All the defenders were somewhat lost in the endless off-ball screens and pick-and-rolls, and by the time they reacted and hurried to catch up with their defenders, the interior had already formed a misalignment between O'Neal and Chen Mu.

Although for an interior player, the No. 4 position and the No. 5 position are not really misalignments. But when the No. 4 position on one side is Chen Mu, and the No. 5 position on the other side is O'Neill, it is polite to say that it is misplaced.

"It was a massacre."

The commentator on the sidelines was pale, and he felt very bad about the situation of the 76ers, and shook his head slightly: "Chinese kid, in the second half of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, he used his mobility and explosiveness to limit Wade's breakthrough very well. But when O'Neill starts eating him infinitely, it doesn't make any sense anymore. ”

"Against an opponent like Shaq, the defensive skills, the defensive picks, the bounce and so on, are just clouds. Unless you have a super body that can compete with it, combining strength and agility, you don't even want to stop this man-eating shark! ”

On the court, the 76ers attacked, the defensive end was constantly eaten alone, and the team became a little impatient when attacking. Iguodala's hurried mid-range shot missed, and the basketball smashed into the hoop and flew high.

"Chen! Rebound! ”

As soon as his teammates shouted, Chen Mu had already rushed to the inside, the falling points in front of him were flashing, and the offensive rebound was close at hand!

However, between Chen Mu and the landing point, a behemoth suddenly appeared, although the footsteps were not fast, but the body was too large, almost the entire three-second zone was stuffed, so that Chen Mu had no chance.

"Smack"

O'Neal easily picked up the rebound, and when he turned around and was about to pass the ball, he pretended to have just seen Chen Mu, and after passing the ball, he grinned and said, "YO, this is not a Chinese kid!" Are you there too? Are you here to see my offensive and defensive performances? Hahaha! ”

Although I know that O'Neill's words are not very malicious, they are just due to his character of playing tricks. But these words were still very harsh to Chen Mu's ears, but unfortunately his strength was not enough, so he had to stomp his feet angrily and go back to defense.

"Haha, Shaq, are you a little too ruthless? This Chinese boy, will you be stunned and lose confidence in this game? ”

Wade had already burst into the box and won two free throws, and O'Neal and Haslem, who had not yet come to the frontcourt, simply chatted.

"Hey, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person??"

O'Neill rolled his eyes and said: "I just watched him grow up too fast, and I was afraid that he would be impetuous, so I just kindly trained him, haha~!" ”

Wade hit the first free throw, and Haslem came to the three-second zone to swap for white chocolate in place of the first free throw, and began to prepare for the rebound.

Beside Haslem, Chen Mu couldn't stop panting, and fought hard under the basket with O'Neal for three consecutive rounds, which was too much physical exertion.

And Haslem beside him is not red or panting, as if he is a nobody, and his physical strength is very good.

"This Haslem, he was supposed to be in the opposite position with me, but now it's good, it's always just a feint, the ball is handed over to O'Neal and Wade to deal with, and the physical strength is not consumed at all!"

Chen Mu glanced at Haslem with some dissatisfaction, and just wanted to complain in his heart, when suddenly a thought broke into his mind and made him stunned.

"Huh"

Wade hit the second penalty steadily, sent a baseline ball, Chen Mu walked quickly to Iverson's side, and whispered: "Allen, let's run their tactics for the next ball!" ”

"What ...... you say?"

Iverson's eyes blinked, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted, and went through the offensive tactics of the Heat team in his mind, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he instantly understood Chen Mu's intentions, and said with a smile: "Understood, leave it to me!" ”

Coming to the frontcourt, Iverson directed his teammates to run, came to the right side of the three-point line, and stood still, shouting, "UseTheirMoves!" ”

The 76ers players were stunned when they heard this, but as a professional player, although the Heat's tactics are a bit complicated, they have seen three rounds, and it is not difficult to repeat them.

On the right side of the penalty area, Webber quickly retreated to the side, beside Iverson, Iguodala at the top of the arc rushed inside, and Chen Mu lifted the free throw line to make a cover for Iguodala.

"What are they going to do?!"

O'Neill was also stunned when he saw this formation, and before he could react, Iguodala had already retreated again, and got a vacant position at the top of the arc under the cover of Chen Mu.

Posey is also a defensive giant, Chen Mu's cover is not very tight, Posey easily bypassed, and at the same time, the basketball in Iverson's hand was also successfully delivered to Chen Mu.

"Yudonis!"

O'Neill shouted, more than ten years of hard work, let him understand Chen Mu's calculation a little, and hurriedly reached out and pushed Haslem to remind him to raise his defense.

However, Chen Mu had already shot neatly.

"Huh"

The basketball entered the frame steadily, and the Wachovia Center Arena, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly erupted in cheers.

"Good Chinese boy! Hit them back with a mid-range shot! ”

"If you can't defend it, use offense to make it up!"

"Come on! Come on!! ”

β€œYES……!”

Chen Mu also clenched his teeth, and waved his right hand lightly with a fist, his eyes full of determination.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This Chinese kid ......! ”

On the sidelines, the oil-headed Riley's eyes were like knives, and he instantly became serious, frowning slightly, looking at Chen Mu, who was on the defensive, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

Back on the defensive end, the Heat continued their previous offense, sending the ball to O'Neal for the fourth time through a matchup.

Under the basket, Chen Mu confronted O'Neal, opened his hands as hard as he could, leaned on O'Neill's back with his chest, and looked like he wanted to block the gun's eye.

O'Neal still showed no mercy, leaning on the basket and then rolling over and hooking into the net.

"Fourth goal! Eat the fourth ball of the Chinese kid in a row! The big shark is unstoppable! ”

The commentator shouted anxiously, but when it came to the offensive end, the 76ers' performance immediately shocked him.

β€œMOVE! MOVE! ”

Iverson's eyes flashed, the 76ers drew a gourd in the same way, and once again ran out of the Heat's offensive routine, Chen Mu received the ball at the free throw line, and he was about to shoot.

Haslem was much more alert this time, and came to the free throw line early to defend, and his hands were raised high with his height similar to Chen Mu, interfering with Chen Mu's offensive line.

Under the basket, O'Neal has obviously watched the video of the 76ers' game against the Pistons, and knows that Chen Mu likes to use mid-range shooting feints to shake off defenders, and then chooses to break through or move sideways to shoot, and also retracts half a step to the vicinity of the three-second zone to prevent Chen Mu's next offense.

But all this was expected by Chen Mu.

"Whoosh"

At the moment when O'Neill retreated, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand suddenly disappeared.

Near the bottom line, Webb, who had been waiting for a long time, easily received the ball, and took advantage of O'Neal's inability to defend quickly, and opened his hand to make a mid-range shot.

Basketball goes to the net.

"Whoop!!

On two consecutive offenses, the 76ers counterattacked with the Heat's tactics and played a beautiful match, and the home fans also let out a bad breath, and the shouts rang out again.

"It's beautiful!"

Webb and Chen Mu high-fived fiercely, and both of them were interior players with a hand-shot, taking advantage of the variation of the Heat's tactics to kick each other's ass hard.

"That's ...... so"

Head coach Cheeks just wanted to angrily scold the players for not attacking according to their own tactics, but after seeing the effect of these two attacks, he immediately understood Chen Mu's thoughts.

"This Chinese kid has a really strong comprehension. If you retire, maybe you can become a teaching assistant, ha......! ”

The Heat attacked again, and the basketball was handed to O'Neal, who immediately began to bulldozer offense without the slightest hesitation.

Four consecutive single-eats success, whoever it is, will continue to attack with heads-up attacks until the 76ers can't help but replace Chen Mu.

And Weber and Chen Mu grasped O'Neill's psychology and made a bold choice.

At the moment when O'Neal received the ball, Webb directly let go of Haslem at the free throw line and came in the bag.

While Chen Mu continued to open his hands to defend, he also carefully adjusted his defensive position, this time O'Neal's ball-holding position was closer to the bottom line, and Chen Mu's defense was more inclined to the line.

It was this small change that gave Webb a chance to steal!

"Smack!"

With a pair of fast hands and a hand knife, the basketball in O'Neal's hand was directly cut, and before the Heat players could react, the 76ers began to launch a counterattack.

"Back to the defense! Back to Defense!! ”

Wade shouted all the way back to defense, and the 76ers did not rush to the side, but pressed down the rhythm and came to the frontcourt to make exactly the same tactical cooperation again.

Chen Mu received the ball at the free throw line, and this time, Haslem in front of him was a little shaken.

Is it passing? Or shooting? What choice will the Chinese kid make?

"Huh"

Thinking about it, Chen Mu had not hesitated to shoot, the basketball got into the net, and Haslem turned around again, seeing Chen Mu's look of "villain".

"In our China, we call this trick 'treating others the way they do'......!"
