Chapter 278: New Skills
"The first quarter was a great game, Sir Charles, what do you think?"
"The players I used before have been blocked, look at a ghost." Barkley is still so unserious, after being glared at by Smith, his fat face shook and began to analyze seriously: "In the second half of the first quarter, the two sides were basically in the tentative stage, and the Suns behaved more calmly at this stage, which is definitely a good thing for the maturity of a team. ”
"And what about the sun? In the past few years, the Suns were strong, but they used too many brains on the offensive end, which is a common mistake made by teams with super point guards. As soon as they see a change in their opponent's strategy, super point guards will start to find ways to use their basketball IQ to break down the situation on the court and look for opportunities. ”
"Of course, this kind of behavior requires extremely high strength and basketball IQ as the foundation to be able to do it, and if there is such a point guard on the amateur court, then the team is basically invincible. But now, we're playing in the NBA. ”
Barkley's words did not directly analyze the performance of the two teams, but began to talk about his personal view of basketball, this commentary mode is like the meaning of the existence of the commentators in the live broadcast of domestic basketball games, maybe not all the time to pay attention to the game, but listen carefully to the guests seem to be a little "far away", but you can get a lot of knowledge and gains.
"In recent years in the NBA, there have always been clichés such as saying that the quality of the stars is not as good as they were back then, and that no matter how strong the stars are, they can't dominate the game alone. If you want me to say, the reason why the NBA has developed to this stage and seems to be the strength of every team is simple: the quality of the role players has improved a lot. ”
"Oh? This idea is novel. Kenny Smith, who has been a role player all his life, was drawn to Barkley's words. Listen carefully.
"Nonsense, can Lao Tzu's point of view not be novel?? Lao Tzu is the best basketball player in the world! ”
Barkley complained, Smith smiled and didn't answer, he knew that if he asked "what about Jordan", Barkley would definitely answer something like "Is that a human?"
"Today's NBA role players are far better than in our time, and I don't know if you've ever heard of one called it...... What Smith player? The guy who mixed up the ring in Team Rocket? Tsk, that kind of guy can't play at all in the modern NBA! ”
"Be careful that I beat you politely." Smith COPY's words from Barkley really sound a bit polite and bold.
"Anyway. In fact, the quality of the stars has not declined, but the overall strength of the NBA is improving. Far from it, let's just say that a few seasons ago, the Rockets, and your Rockets, had a player named Ryan Bowen who played as a starter. Come on! What the hell is that? That kind of strength can also play as a starter? Or play as a starter on a Western powerhouse? Now the role players are getting stronger and stronger! ”
"It's a big circle, I mean. In the case of the overall strength becoming stronger, in fact, the point guard should delegate more power, and he has fallen behind in doing everything by sticking to the ball. At certain moments. Believing in your teammates, letting your teammates play on their own, and breaking down the opponent's defensive adjustments, may be much better than racking your brains to find a way to solve the puzzle. ”
“YO。 Do you even know how to use advanced words like solving puzzles? Community college isn't in vain! Smith complained.
"Fart! Lao Tzu is a top student at Auburn University! I dropped out of school after only three years! Barkley yelled and continued, "So the old Nash still can't get rid of the kind of problems that have been carried over from the last century. When it comes to critical moments or when the situation of the game changes, they always think about changing the game by themselves, which causes the Suns to suffer from 'Nash dependence', and when Nash is gone, the whole team will not play. ”
"In previous seasons, the Suns' game can basically be summed up like this, as soon as the season started, they were strong and deadly, and they went all the way, and they didn't blink an eye when they touched anyone. Then the menacing Western Conference No. 1 or No. 2 broke into the playoffs, passed the first round like a bamboo, and was finally inexplicably killed by the Spurs. ”
But now, perhaps because of a change in teammates, Nash's thinking is starting to change. Look at Small, Howard, and Hill in the first quarter, they all got their own opportunities to take the initiative, and a lot of offense was launched directly by them. This is definitely a positive sign. ”
As he spoke, Barkley put on what he thought was the deepest expression and continued: "Today's Suns are mature. ”
Barkley was right, in the first quarter, in the face of the new lineup of the 76ers' new style of play, the Suns were caught off guard in the opening stage and lost the ball once, and since then they have begun to regain control of the situation, playing steadily, at least on the offensive end, and not being disrupted by the 76ers.
The rhythm of the Suns is a crazy offense, and any ball can hit a quick counterattack and shoot in 7 seconds. To maintain this rhythm, the whole team played with ease, but the burden on Nash's shoulders was very heavy.
So all the teams that play against the Suns know that to beat the Suns, they have to disrupt Nash's rhythm. As long as Nash's rhythm is out of order, the sun is all out of order.
Disrupting the rhythm of the other party, this kind of thing, the current 76ers are very good at it.
"The rhythm of the 76ers is just no rhythm."
Barkley talked about the 76ers' side again: "From point guard Lowry, to the two all-round players on the front line, to Luis and Rodney on the bench, everyone in the 76ers does not have star-level offensive skills, but everyone is a good player and can score points in a chaotic situation." ”
"Why did the Suns lose to the 76ers at home last season? The reason is very simple, first, I can't stop Iverson, and second, my rhythm is completely taken away by the 76ers. ”
Now the Suns are determined to stick to their own rhythm, no longer pay attention to the 76ers' rhythm changes, and stubbornly play their own fast attack. Although the score difference between the two sides in the first quarter is not large, take a look at the current lineup of the Suns! It only takes one or two people to play beyond the norm for a few minutes, and the game will be dragged into the rhythm of the sun in an instant. ”
"In the whole league, there is no team that can survive the attack against the Suns to the end, and wait until the Suns completely stabilize their rhythm and continue to push the fast break. The 76ers are in big trouble. ”
"So, the key is the second quarter." Smith interrupted Barkley's chatter.
"That's right, if the 76ers can't interrupt the rhythm of the Suns in the second quarter, then this game will end early." Barkley nodded.
Inside the field, the game continued.
"Lowry!"
Sending out the baseline ball, Chen Mu came to Lowry's side and said in a low voice: "Rhythm." ”
Lowry didn't reply, made an OK gesture, and dribbled forward.
“DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! ”
There was a lot of shouting in the Meixi Arena. The fans were cheering for the home team, but the old and the young sitting in the seats near the court looked a little embarrassed, not knowing which side to cheer for.
The two were dressed quite unusually, the older one wore a fan version of Nash's jersey, and the younger girl next to him wore the jersey of the away team Philadelphia with the number 5 printed on the back.
"It's a pretty Oriental girl, but she's a Philadelphia fan, is she coming to the Suns' home court to find death??"
The Suns fans behind him expressed deep contempt for the girl.
Take a closer look at the corner of the girl's jersey. There is also a scribbled signature, and at a glance you know that it is not in English, but in Chinese.
"Yin'er, you're too hateful......"
Boss Su has never had such onlookers in the Meixi Arena. The expression on his face was embarrassed and excited, indescribably weird.
"You told me what to wear~" Su Yin smiled indifferently, disapprovingly, and reached out to put his arm around his father's shoulder. There was another wave of boos behind him.
Brother Mu, I have the courage to wear your jersey to watch the game, I must win!
Xiao Nizi looked forward to it in her heart. The small fist clenched and waved slightly in the air.
"This female fan, uh, has character." Barkley saw the return footage cut by the director, and he didn't know what to say.
"Philadelphia gave the ball to the Chinese kid!" Smith was still watching the game and shouted.
In the front court, Chen Mu held the ball with his back.
Behind him was Xiao Si, a wonderful off-ball cover change, Chen Mu got the opportunity to single Xiao Si with his back. Chen Mu, who was watched by Howard in the first quarter, finally had a chance to show new skills in the low post.
"Hoo ......"
With a sigh of relief, Chen Mu adjusted his mentality, felt the defensive center of gravity of Xiao Si behind him, and then began to dribble.
It will definitely work!
One, two, three......
The fans, along with Barkley and Smith, were counting the number of dribbles Chen Mu hadribbled.
Five hits!
The Chinese kid actually dribbled more than five times!
"Bag Clip!"
Sensing that Chen Mu's state was a little different from weekdays, Hill on the outside decisively let go of Iguodala, who was still unstable in the three points on the weak side, and turned around to make a steal.
The timing of this bag was quite clever, and when Hill came to Chen Mu's side, the latter was about to collect the ball and make an offensive move.
According to Chen Mu's usual habits, he will definitely make some back-to-back steps next, and Xiao Si's biggest loophole in defense is the lack of control over the bottom line.
Steals!
Hill went straight to the bottom line, and without thinking about it, he just reached out and pulled it out, but it turned out to be empty.
"W-What ......?!!"
In front of Hill, Chen Mu did turn to the bottom line, but instead of turning to the basket, he turned away from the basket.
Lean back and shoot.
“…… Swish! ”
"Ha, it seems to be useful......
In the stunned silence of the fans, Chen Mu smiled with relief, raised his eyes to look at Hill, who was still standing on the bottom line, and blinked. (To be continued......)
PS: There are many brothers asking, who was selected for the 76ers in this year's draft? There won't be no draft, right? What about the UAE? What about Sun Yue?
Well, these questions will be talked about later, on the issue of the draft, there is a big plot that is fueling the fire, and everyone will know when the time comes, we "Chen Operator" know so many things in the future, how can we do it? But before you can use it, you have to clear some obstacles......
Anyway, stay tuned!
