Two days later, Philadelphia.

"Defend and defend!"

"Control the rebound!"

"Be patient and fight this attack well!"

In the Philadelphia 76ers' training ground, the team's group training is underway.

On the one hand, the white team led by Iverson, the core of the team, I don't know if it was to test Iverson's extreme strength and stimulate his fighting spirit, head coach Cheeks played a trick that is often played by coaches in NBA teams in the selection of white team personnel:

Let the main scorer lead the team off the bench.

On the Black team's side, except for Louis Williams, a rookie player at the point guard position and a small scorer who will shine with the Hawks in the future, the rest of the positions are the team's starters.

Iverson was fast, but Louis Williams wasn't slow either, with two smaller players dominating the attack on the pitch and it was a great sight to watch.

"Huh"

AFTER SHAKING OFF THE SPACE WITH HIS TRADEMARK CROSSOVER, AND THEN HITTING A MID-RANGE SHOT, BEFORE IVERSON COULD RETURN TO THE HALF-COURT DEFENSE, THE BLACK TEAM HAD ALREADY SENT A LONG PASS FROM WEBB'S BASELINE TO THE FRONTCOURT, AND IGUODALA SCORED WITH A DUNK FROM IGUODALA.

“DAMN！”

Iverson scolded angrily, shook his head slightly, and wiped the sweat on his face with the corner of his jersey as he dribbled forward.

On the white team's side, there were no good scoring points other than Iverson. Although Chen Mu has quite good mid-range shooting and dunking ability, he still lacks independent offense and relies heavily on Iverson's organization.

And the rest of the players have no ability to score, so that the black team can unscrupulously contain Iverson, and then send a person to mark Chen Mu, and the remaining two players block Iverson's passing route and prevent Iverson from easily playing the ball.

This strategy was very successful, and Iverson was still unstoppable despite his individual attack, and even when he was in the middle, he could still shake out the space and score with various means. But Chen Mu rarely played this point, and the rest of the players couldn't even touch the ball, and the situation of the white team was very bad.

"Allen, Phil also practiced Jordan like this back then, Jordan won every time, with a substitute, and won all the main forces of the Bulls!"

Off the pitch, head coach Cheeks shouted encouragement: "Where's your energy? Where's your momentum? You're the MVP, you're the strongest! Are you willing to lose like this? ”

"Who said I was going to lose......?!"

Although Iverson does not like to train, but his dedication to victory is also famous in the whole league, under Cheeks's aggressive method, Iverson is full of firepower, under the double bag to find a gap from the individual ball split, and then score a layup.

"Toot"

The first half of the training match was over, and all 10 players on the field were rested.

Everyone gulped down sports drinks and laughed with each other, but Iverson was so tired that he couldn't speak.

"Aaron, what's wrong?"

Chen Mu took a sip of water and turned around and asked.

"It's just a little tired, it's okay!"

Iverson replied stubbornly, but his hands betrayed him, Chen Mu looked down, and saw that Iverson's hands were trembling uncontrollably, obviously too tired to do anything.

"It's not an option." Chen Mu hesitated, but still said: "The training match is fifteen minutes non-stop, and there are still fifteen minutes to fight in the second half, and your physical strength will be unbearable." ”

"Don't forget, tomorrow we're going to have to travel a long way to Cleveland to play, and if you fall, what will happen to our offense?"

In the previous games, the chemistry between Chen Mu and Iverson was good, and in addition, Iverson also had some appreciation for Chen Mu's hard-working and never-admitting defeat, so the relationship between the two was not bad, and it had somewhat surpassed the distance between the rookie and the team boss.

In the face of Chen Mu's outspokenness, Iverson nodded slightly, at the age of thirty, no matter how rebellious he was, he also deeply understood that a person's strength has a limit.

"But if you look at the guys on our side, except for you, the others are guys who can't score."

Iverson stretched out his finger and pointed at the rest of the white team, and continued: "Li Nailong, Barnes, Salmons, the three of them are okay to catch the ball and attack the basket, but the running ball is really a little bit meaningless. ”

Iverson has always been outspoken, and the named white team player didn't mind his evaluation, just sighed slightly and shook his head, as if he was also very dissatisfied with his performance.

"And you, Chen." After saying a circle, Iverson turned his head to look at Chen Mu and continued: "I also said it bluntly, you are also a guy who catches the ball and attacks the basket directly, as an inside lighthouse that dominates the ball, you and Chris are far apart!" ”

Chen Mu was not annoyed when he heard this, he knew that Iverson was telling the truth, not to mention that Weber, as an insider, his ability to respond was counted in the entire NBA history, and it was not a shame to lose to Weber.

Even compared with other players with interior strategy, Chen Mu's passing strategy level is too weak.

In this way, even if Chen Mu already has a very good mid-range shooting ability, even if he practices back-to-back singles or face frame raids in the future, he can only appear on the court as a scoring point at most, and cannot become a center that can dominate the ball.

"The ability to dominate the ball is the biggest gap between a role player and a star."

Chen Mu is very clear about this quote that is widely circulated in the NBA, and the dominance of the ball here is not necessarily the passing skill, but the ability to choose when to attack, when to conduct, and when to carry out what kind of operation.

This ability can only be realized after you have an extremely deep understanding of the game of basketball and have a very comprehensive skill set.

Although Chen Mu has not been able to reach such a level in a short period of time, his passing skills have already evolved in overdrive at an unknown moment!

"Allen, in the second half, can you give me the ball in the first round?"

After thinking about it again, Chen Mu still spoke: "I want to try to see if I can let other teammates also participate in the attack!" ”

"Huh......?"

Iverson frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Chen Mu thoughtfully: "Hehe, the black hole Chinese kid on the court, is this going to start playing?" ”

"Toot"

When the whistle came at the beginning of the second half, Iverson moved his hands and feet, stood up, and turned his back to Chen Mudao: "Okay, give you a round." ”

“OK……！”

Chen Mu got up excitedly and was about to throw a trademark punch with Iverson, but the latter stretched out a finger and shook it in the air and continued: "But there is only one round, if after one round, I am not satisfied with the result, I will still take the ball in my own hands, and I will control the attack!" ”

“…… No problem. ”

Chen Mu nodded and smiled confidently: "Aaron, wait to see my performance......!" ”

Stepping on the court, the black team took the lead in attacking, Korver found a good opportunity to shoot on the outside, but unfortunately smashed the basket out, Chen Mu grabbed the rebound, handed the ball to Iverson and quickly came to the frontcourt.

After coming to the front court, Iverson sent the basketball to Chen Mu, who was in an important position on the inside, according to the agreement.

“…… Oh?! ”

After Chen Mu received the ball, Webber, who was clinging to the defense behind him, was stunned, frowning incomprehensibly and thinking: What's the matter? Why would Aaron give the ball to a Chinese kid who doesn't know how to play with his back to his back at all?

Webber looked down at his position, convinced that there was no big problem, and his heart became even more confused.

"The Chinese kid does have a good mid-range shot, but the level of the back is very bad, and he won't break through the frame, and it is useless to catch the ball with his back in this position! Aaron and the Chinese kid, what are they having?? ”

However, Chen Muke, who received the ball, was not ready to look for an opportunity to attack the basket, but quickly glanced to the sides with his eyes, and then shouted: "SCREENBACKDOOR!" ”

"Huh??"

Hearing Chen Mu shouting out tactics, all the players in the audience were stunned and didn't react for a while.

Chinese kid? The Chinese kid is actually shouting offensive tactics??

The tactics shouted by Chen Mu are one of the simplest routines of the Princeton system, where the inside players receive the ball at the waist position, and the outside players run quickly to cover each other, looking for opportunities to cut into the back door and make an empty basket.

This tactic is very simple, but Chen Mu ...... Can this big man who can't pass the ball, the legendary black hole on the court, handle the most difficult "inside passing"......?

Iverson and Salmons were the first to react, and the two switched positions on the strong and weak sides, and Salmons came to the strong side where Chen Mu was, and then beckoned Li Nailong, who was on the weak side, to pick up the block.

"Bang"

With a neat blocking and dismantling cooperation, Salmons cut into the inside line empty-handed, Chen Mu glanced at it, and sent a hit pass to the ground, and in the surprised eyes of Webb and all the players and coaches, he sent an extremely accurate strategy pass.

Salmons was also stunned when he received the basketball, because the ball was passed so comfortably, whether it was strength, angle, rotation, timing, or speed, it was just right, without the slightest flaw.

"This pass is almost the same as Chris's pass!"

Surprised, Salmons didn't forget his business, and lightly picked up a basket in front of Hunter, who rushed back to make up for the defense.

"Hey."

Seeing this situation, Iverson was also a little surprised, looked at Chen Mu who came back to defense, and said: "It's handled well, you kid, you can pass the ball!" ”

"Haha, it's just three-legged cat kung fu~"

Chen Mu smiled easily and didn't say much.

Because from Iverson's eyes, he already knew that he had gained Iverson's trust through the ball just now!

The next day, Cleveland, Ohio.

Guiken Quick Loan Arena.

"YO, audience friends, long time no see, welcome to the T-N-T live broadcast room, today we came to the most 'notorious' city in the United States, Cleveland, Ohio, to bring you the game, which is the hot upstart team Cleveland Cavaliers, against the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been gaining momentum recently!"

As usual, Barkley opened his mouth to make a pre-game speech, but before he could say a word, he was interrupted by Kenny Smith on the side.

"What notorious! Don't smash my job! Kenny Smith smiled bitterly: "Please don't mind, all Cleveland citizens, the above remarks only represent Sir Charles's personal views and have nothing to do with this station's position!" ”

The two living treasures are still arguing, on the court, the entrance ceremony has ended, in front of the recording table, a well-proportioned and sturdy player wearing the No. 23 jersey is slowly clapping his hands, white magnesium powder is floating in front of the recording table, and then ......

"Whew!"

LeBron James, hands raised high, magnesium powder soared into the sky, and the fans in the stadium shouted excitedly.

The king of the new era is about to ascend the throne.

Not far away, on the bench of the 76ers, a "monarch killer" was full of confidence, smiling at LeBron's impactful opening show, and thought to himself:

"LeBron, if you come to the waist position, is your passing more penetrating, or my passing more windy......?"
