Chapter 394: Vachovia "Massacre"

"Philadelphia 76ers: No way back!"

The day after the second game between the 76ers and Pistons, the day after Chen Mu and Carney, faced the provocation of Detroit fans and spoke wildly. The Philadelphia Daily News, a veteran local media outlet, published a post-game commentary with the above text as the headline.

It is not difficult to judge from the title that the author of this football review article is none other than Phil Gesner, who has been fighting against Chinese boys since the Iverson era and has not been willing to give up until now.

Jesner is a good player, and his writing, thinking, and understanding of basketball are top-notch in his professional field.

But the unwarranted hatred for Iverson, and the groundless blackness that was transferred to Chen Mu in the future, influenced his literary style. This commentary, which follows a live news report from Game 2, seems at first glance to be just a judgment of the direction of the series itself after Philadelphia are currently drawing 1-1 and losing their hard-won home advantage.

But between the lines, people with intentions can easily see that Gersner will, intentionally or unintentionally, link the current situation of the 76ers with Chen Mu's wild words. It seems that Philadelphia lost the home advantage that they fought hard in the first game, as if the Chinese boy was too arrogant.

This statement naturally has no logic at all, but as many people love Chen Mu, there are as many people as they hate Chen Mu. Almost all stars will suffer from similar situations, especially when they haven't won that damn gold cup and haven't managed to stand on top of the world, and the wind of criticism will always blow their bodies and minds.

In fact, even if some players have won the highest honors, received the sweetest rewards, and become the top basketball players in the league and even the world, they still can't escape their fate.

People will always say. He's not mature enough, he's got a lot of holes, his success is related to a change of rules, his opponents aren't strong enough, he can't be a superstar like his predecessors, he's not a time-changing helmsman, and so on.

Among them, part of it is because of the thinking of the past and the present, and part of it. is because the tree is a big move, and the more popular the player, the more likely he is to be criticized and criticized for no reason.

In the words of our Chinese, it is "recruiting black".

Don't you see, Curry, who is now calling for wind and rain on the NBA court and changing the world with his amazing long-range shooting skills, has obviously won the MVP, has become an NBA champion, and is becoming an unstoppable superpower in the new season. But there are still many people who think that as the main scorer, isn't shooting the right way?

Got the MVP, people will say. You don't have FMVP.

If you get the FMVP, people will say that you didn't win the MVP in a row.

If you win MVP in a row, people will say you don't have two consecutive championships.

After two wins in a row, people will also say that you don't have three wins in a row. No dynasty was created.

Once upon a time, Duncan, the top ten all-time star who is now firmly on the throne of the largest forward in history, has also been criticized by many people. said that he was not strong in scoring explosiveness, that he did not look good at playing, that he had not completed a winning streak, and that the Spurs were not a dynasty division.

There is only one way to shatter these doubts.

That's ...... keep winning!

“1、2、3、76ERS!”

At the Wajovia Center, the third match between the two teams is about to begin. The Philadelphia players stood on the sidelines, clasped their hands together, chanted in unison, and walked onto the court with their heads held high.

Keep winning.

We're going to keep win......!

Chen Mu, Iguodala, Korver, Lowry, Dareham Porter, Philadelphia's almost immobile starting lineup this season came on the court to meet the blazing fury of Motor City.

The game begins.

Bowler won the ball for Philadelphia, and the 76ers took the lead in attacking, and after a high-post block, Chen Mushun fell to the low post, and before he could start asking for the ball, the Pistons' bag had already come.

The opening is a clip!

Philadelphia fans were shocked when they saw this scene, although in the second game, the Pistons also carried out a trap on Chen Mu most of the time, but it was not as direct, so decisive, and so desperate as this game.

Lowry did not panic, Cheeks had already analyzed before the game that after the Pistons came to the away court, they would definitely be even more crazy about Chen Mu's bag. How to deal with this situation, the players of the 76ers have long been prepared.

Passing the ball feint, Iguodala suddenly ran back, and when he passed by Chen Mu's side, Chen Mu, who was opening his hand, suddenly turned around to cover once, and Iguodala successfully lifted up.

Lowry split the ball, Iguodala received the ball and transferred it one by one, and Chen Mu, who turned around, reached out to the basketball with both hands, and threw it to the weak side without looking.

This is......?!

The Pistons players were also stunned when they saw this scene, and before they could turn around, they heard the sound of basketball starting not far away.

Kyle Korver, the super shooter whose first two performances of the series can only be described as rather mediocre, opened his hands to catch the ball.

What about defenders?!!

The Pistons players looked and saw that there was an open field in front of Korver, standing at the top of the arc, and there was no half figure within three steps on either side.

What about Hamilton? After Prince came to contain Chen Mu, Hamilton should have kept an eye on Korver, but at this time, where did he go?

The moment the basketball was thrown in Korver's hand, Billups, who had the most open vision, suddenly saw the problem.

On Billups' side, Hamilton, who was supposed to follow Korver to the top of the arc to defend, was blocked by Lowry, who moved quickly to the weak side, and could not interfere with Korver's shot at all.

“…… Swish! ”

“…… YEAH!!!! ”

Basketball into the net, three open courts!

The Wajovia Center arena erupted in enthusiastic shouts, and Kyle Korver's face was calm, without the slightest wave, and the hand that shot the three-point shot still kept his shooting motion, and his eyes were staring directly at the basket.

It feels good in the hand.

Today I feel so good......!

Korver, began to erupt.

Under Cheeks' pre-game arrangement, the Philadelphia 76ers, who knew that the Pistons would make a crazy entrapment of Chen Mu, simply used Chen Mu as a bait to narrow the Pistons' defensive area to near the basket.

Korver, the only consistent shooter on the outside, looked for opportunities under the cover of Lowry, Iguodala, and DylerPotter, and frequently fired from the outside.

The Pistons thought that if Chen Mu was pinched, the 76ers would let Iguodala organize the offense, would let Lowry break through frequently, and would focus on Chen Mu and Delham Porter's under-the-basket connection.

Kyle Korver? There may have been some chances, but he hasn't been the heart of Philadelphia's offense, and most of the time, Korver has been just a traditional running shooter who can't be more traditional.

When it comes to defensive shooter movement, who else in the league can do better than Hamilton?

It's a pity that Sanders didn't calculate that the 76ers would be so risky and run the offense with Korver as the core from the beginning.

It's bound to change, it's impossible to maintain such a tactic until the end!

Sanders stood on the sidelines, his face was quite unsightly, and in the first quarter of the game, Korver had already made three three-pointers, and his hand was bursting.

Attacking with a non-All-Star shooter who can't run and jump as the core? It's just a strange move, how can the whole audience fight like this!

However, when Kel Corpour scored 18 points on 5-of-6 shooting from beyond the three-point line and stretched the gap to more than 10 points at halftime, Sanders knew he was wrong.

The error is outrageous.

Kyle Korver, indeed, is a flawed pitcher, his speed is not fast enough, his running routine is excessive, his alertness is not enough, and his crosshair is affected a lot when there is interference.

But if a team works hard to cover him and all the tactics are directed at him alone, how can he perform?

What if this team has a passer of more than three calibres, a super low-post threat to be reckoned with, and a low-post player who has been the rebounding champion for two years in a row, and looks promising to dominate the rebounding charts until he retires?

What if the Philadelphia 76ers made up their minds to let Korver explode in a blazing heat......?

The answer will be revealed two hours later.

"Toot!"

At the end of the game, the whistle sounded, and the stadium in the Wajovia Center was filled with jubilation, and the shouts of the fans soared into the sky, as if they were spending the best holiday of their lives.

The camera swept away, and all the fans had that excitement and incredible look on their faces, as if they had not yet determined whether what they were seeing was reality or illusion.

On the Pistons bench, the main players have all put on their coats one by one and look like they haven't played for a long time.

The Philadelphia 76ers, 119-85 at home, beat the Pistons by 34 points to claim their second win of the series.

Kyle Korver, the brightest star in the game, shot 7 three-pointers in a single game, and the shooting rate of 7 of 11 broke through the sky, and scored a career-high 29 points in the playoffs, which made the female fans in the court shout makeup.

Behind him, Kyle Lowry assisted in a single-game double-double in the playoffs for the first time in his career, with 7 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 steals. Iguodala once again contributed comprehensive statistics, with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Dareham Porter played well, with an economical double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds, and also sent three hot pots.

Chinese kid?

18 points, 23 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and grabbed 14 frontcourt rebounds in the Pistons restricted area. It seems that every time he misses an outside shot, Chen Mu can grab the rebound, and then send it away, and the offense starts again.

As the Pistons fans walked out of the arena in dejection, the fans in the Wachovia Stadium shouted excitedly and waved signs in their hands.

The game, which was later dubbed by NBA pundits and fans:

"Vachovia Massacre". (To be continued.) )

PS: Inspired by the Weser River Massacre, do you still have an impression of watching football?
