"Kenny, do you think we should say that Chen is Dirk on the East Side, or Dirk is Chen on the West End?"

Barkley's question seems to you and me to be stupid.

Although Chen Mu suddenly made this killing move in the first game of the first round of the playoffs, it was indeed a little surprising. And so far, it seems that Chen Mu's backward jump shot with a strange posture is really a bunker.

But from the other two aspects, Chen Mu is definitely not a master of backward jumpers, especially not qualified to be the spokesperson for this action.

First of all, this season was the first season in which Dirk began to use the step-back jumper on a large scale as a conventional weapon. In the following seasons, it was true that Dirk used this trick more and more often, but it was Dirk who was the first to include this outlandish move in his arsenal, not Chen Mu.

Secondly, Chen Mu's shooting level, whether in terms of attribute value or real ability, is completely incomparable with Dirk.

Even if you don't count three-point shots, in terms of mid-range shooting percentage and stability, Dirk has been ranked first in the long history of the NBA.

Chen Mu's mid-range shooting is his first skill to make a name for himself in addition to rebounding. But to compare it to Dirk? It's still far from it.

But the game is so magical, when people focus on a certain game, it is likely to have the illusion that one person in this game is unstoppable.

Chen Mu is giving people this illusion.

"The game has come to the second quarter, and there are about 7 minutes left, and the two sides are substitutions!"

On the commentary stage, Smith and Barkley were so excited to broadcast the game live, even forgetting that they were in Boston, and the next focus was on the Celtics' playoff opener.

Auburn Hills Palace Arena. The score was 33-35, the Pistons led by 2 points, and although the 76ers were behind on the road, they did not see any special mood swings from their players in the footage transmitted from the scene.

The score between the two sides was not high, and the rest of the second quarter was a little more than half. At this pace, both sides are likely to score no more than 50 points in the half.

This proves that the Pistons are quite good at controlling the rhythm and not giving the 76ers too many opportunities for fast breaking. In such a situation, the score is behind, and the rhythm is in the hands of the Pistons, why are the 76ers players still calm?

Because of Chen Mu.

Pass!

Chen Mu has his back to the basket, Lowry passes the ball in place, this picture has appeared three times in this game, three times with his back single. Chen Mudu chose to use his new skill to score a step-back jumper.

Will there be a step-back jumper this time?

"Tyshawn!"

Rashid shouted, Prince hurriedly came back to the defense, once the defense was in place, Chen Mu did not turn around and lean back, and the basketball was about to be stealed.

Chen Mu collected the ball.

"Collect the ball and turn to the basket...... Hit the shot! HOHO！ Chinese Brat !! Barkley was excited.

"Nice moves! After hitting three back-to-back jumpers in a row, he suddenly chose to feint, forcing the Pistons to wrap up. Then burst into the basket to score, what a shrewd Chinese! Smith was not spared with praise either.

The score is equalised. The 76ers are imposing, and their master will be unstoppable. Although only 10 points have been scored so far, 8 of these 10 points are real singles scores. In addition to the opening empty dunk, Chen Mu has scored four consecutive baskets.

"The hit rate of the Chinese kid is 100% so far!" Barkley flipped through the stats and exclaimed, "Five shots and five hits, 100 percent shooting." If it weren't for the Pistons' defense that was really in place, it would be difficult for the 76ers to hand over the ball to Chen Singles, and this game would have been played by Chen alone! ”

Playing a flower contest alone?

Does Chen Mu have such strength?

Barkley doesn't know, Smith doesn't, fans don't. The Pistons players didn't know either.

Although on the whole, it is very rare for Chen Mu to play a flower game alone, since he entered the league, only this year's game against the Trail Blazers to score 50 points can be said to be a one-man flower. The double-thirty-three doubles against the Hornets were also individual performances at the peak level, but on the offensive end, it was Chen Mu and Milicic who played the game together.

Now, facing his old rival Pistons, facing the opponent who eliminated himself last year, can Chen Mu accomplish this feat?

The game continues.

“MOVEMOVEMOVE！”

Billups advanced with the ball, the Pistons ran out of a dazzling match in the frontcourt, Rashid made three consecutive covers on the outside and then suddenly retreated, Billups's unseen pass was in place instantly, and Rashid opened his hand to make a three-point shot.

Straight arm jumper!

Rashid's mastery, the whole half of the court is his firepower, the moment he shoots, Rashid feels the wonderful touch of the basketball from his fingertips out of control, and his natural pitcher instinct lets him know that this ball will be scored.

Unless......

"Bang!"

Shocking hot pot!

“OH――MY――LOOOOOOORD！”

Barkley exclaimed, Chen Mu took off the block after bypassing the delay, Rashid's shot was a typical tiptoe, Chen Mu's bullet speed advantage was reflected, and the thunderbolt was blocked in the air!

Finished.

Auburn Hills Palace fans watched Chen Mu send out the hot pot, then landed, rushed forward at twice the speed of Rashid, received Iguodala's empty pass, and scored his 12th point.

Fans know that in this game, no one can hold Chen Mu back.

"Not bad, not bad!"

Chen Mu landed, made a signature celebration move, installed a fork and went back to the defense.

In front of his eyes, the silver scoring shooter badge flickered, and his hand had accumulated to the highest point.

And so far in the game, he has not conceded a single goal.

Pistons fans gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.

"A fact that few people notice."

On the commentary stage, Barkley suddenly spoke: "After the Chinese kid joined the 76ers, the 76ers faced the Pistons, not counting the playoffs, the record is actually superior." ”

"It's all about the playoffs." Smith responded.

"It's all about the playoffs." Barkley nodded.

"We still remember the wild words of 76ers bench player Carney before the game." Smith recalled: "Win one game away. Win two home games, and then find a way to win one of the last three games and eliminate the Pistons to advance. ”

"Now it seems that the 76ers are practicing the script they have set!"

The game continued on the court, and the Pistons used many ways to limit Chen Mu, and Rashid and Prince almost followed Chen Mu back and forth in the half. Later in the game. Chen Mu's scoring momentum was indeed suppressed, mainly because it was difficult to get the ball.

"Toot!"

The whistle blew at the end of the first half, and the first game between the 76ers and Pistons was temporarily suspended, and the two sides were tied at 48 at halftime.

Chen Mu, a core player of the Philadelphia 76ers and almost the only strong point in all the matchups in the game, scored 14 points on 7-of-7 shooting in the half, as well as 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

Judging from the data, it doesn't seem to be an explosion, but when it comes to the hit rate, Chen Mu's play definitely gives the Pistons a headache.

This issue was not until nearly an hour later. The fourth quarter was not resolved as the game entered the final period.

In the third quarter, Chen Mu seized the opportunity to hit two shots under the strict defense of the Pistons, although Chen Mu's scoring shooter badge dimmed due to a long time of not shooting, but Chen Mu, who ran out of the opportunity, still would not let go, and hit with his open hand.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons' defense was more targeted, and almost all the fans in the stadium would start to boo at any moment when Chen Mu received the ball. And I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Chen Mu was not obsessed with finding an opportunity to make a move. Every time I handle the ball, I am very calm.

It's a fantastic vibe that drives the Pistons players crazy, and this guy is on the hit tonight. It seemed like it would never be missed, and it involved almost eighty percent of the Pistons' defensive attention.

But in reality? This guy only took two shots in the second half and scored 4 points, and the scoring efficiency is definitely not high.

But this is the case, but it is particularly unhappy for the Pistons players.

Chen Mu was like a lingering shadow in front of them, and every time Chen Mu took the ball, they would feel a sigh in their hearts. For fear that Chen Mu would make some strange moves to score. And when Chen Mu sent a pass and used the moment when the Pistons' defense contracted to assist his teammates to score, the Pistons players and even the fans on the court actually felt a little relaxed in their hearts.

It's like: it doesn't matter who scores, as long as you don't shoot.

Judging by the scene and the data. Chen Mu seemed to have played a game of anticlimactic and was completely blocked in the second half. But only those who have watched the whole game know how much pressure Chen Mu has formed on the defense of the Pistons on the fact that Chen Mu is standing on the court.

Match time, 2 minutes remaining.

The score was 90-86, with the 76ers leading by four points.

“NICEWORK！”

Cheeks stopped shouting tactics on the sidelines, but kept encouraging the players. After Chen Mu broke the face at the beginning of the game, the Pistons strengthened Chen Mu's defense with good results, but the overall defense has completely collapsed.

Andre Iguodala, Lowry, Korver, and Milicic, who was paired with Chen Mu in the short transition, all scored in double digits. Most of these points were obtained without defense, which is the strategic significance of Chen Mu.

Back singles are nuclear weapons.

It wasn't until this moment that Chen Mu truly realized the meaning of this sentence.

"Chen!"

Lowry sent a pass, and after Chen Mu received the ball, the overall defense of the Pistons shrank instantly, and from the high camera, it looked like a gold brick appeared in the court, and everyone wanted to grab it.

You won't make a move, will you......?

The moment he contracted, a thought flashed through Prince's mind.

Throughout the second half, the Chinese kid did not make a single shot in the low post at all, and every time he attracted the center of gravity of the defense, he sent a pass and assisted his teammates to score twice. At this time, I think I will do the same, right?

Believe it or not, the weak side has started to run, and Iguodala will have an open spot right away.

No defense!

Just when Prince paused and made this decision, Chen Mu suddenly dribbled and turned around, and leaned back to shoot. (To be continued.) )

PS: The Mavericks in those years were really lying on their back, how much infamy Dirk and Kidd carried, but fortunately they finally won the championship, otherwise they wouldn't be able to turn over for the rest of their lives!
