Chapter 632: Suffocating Defense! (2/4)
"Going around the front as soon as it starts, oh my God!"
The game was going on on the field, and behind the commentary booth on the sidelines, Barkley and Smith were also shocked.
The first offense of the Philadelphia 76ers ended with an offensive foul by Iguodala, and on the defensive end, Milicic made an untimely change of position and delay, allowing Garnett, who was covered by Perkins, to fall into the low post and score a one-handed dunk.
The Boston Celtics scored their first two points in the opening game.
And.
"Hmm......"
Chen Mu was blocked by Perkins once, and it was not impossible to rely on his mobility to make a quick turn and cut into the interior line, and make some interference with Garnett's offensive basket. But at the moment of physical contact with Perkins, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, one of Perkins' hands clenched into a fist in front of him, which happened to touch Chen Mu's injured finger.
The injury to the finger is very light and serious. This physical contact occurred when Chen Mu was speeding up to catch up with all his might. The two looked like it was just a normal defensive contact, but in fact, Chen Mu's fingers received a lot of impact.
Anyone who has ever had an injured finger knows that the pain, whether serious or not, can be quite intense. Especially when the old injury has not healed, if the finger is hit again, it will make people grin in pain, and I can't wait to chop the finger directly.
“YO,SORRY。”
After Garnett dunked under the basket, he beat his chest and roared as always, and Perkins, who had finished covering, turned around and looked at Chen Mu with a rather peculiar look.
"It's not okay to bump into it like this? Is your power weakened or something? ”
Perkins was tall and strong, looking as terrifying as the great demon in ancient Chinese legends. That old face looks like it's a thousand years old, which many people overlook, but in fact, he is the first-round pick of the 2003 Golden Generation.
But Perkins' tone of voice was different from his broad and strong body and fierce face, sounding like an ordinary American high school student, and he actually had a "childish" feeling.
This is a situation where the voice does not match the body type. It's not uncommon in the NBA, and it also makes Perkins shout on the court when he first enters the league, and there are many opponents who don't know who is talking.
After all, in most people's imagination, a player of Perkins' size should at least have Mutombo's hoarse and deep voice.
"Haven't you been to the gym lately? Ha? Your breakfast club? ”
Perhaps after staying by Garnett's side for a long time, Perkins actually learned Garnett's habit of trash talk. Seeing that Chen Mu seemed to have a painful expression, he kept spewing trash talk.
They saw it.
In this contact, Perkins's attitude and tone made Chen Mu know clearly. The Boston Celtics have seen that they are injured.
And this kind of perception is not just a simple knowledge that "the Chinese kid is injured", but basically knows that Chen Mu's injury is on his right hand.
How far will they know? I don't even know the injury on my fingers!
If that's the case, it's a bit of a problem.
"It's rare, you don't talk back, it's not like your style."
Seeing that Chen Mu didn't speak, Perkins smiled mockingly: "Do you already know in your heart that you can't beat us?" Ready to give up on this game? ”
"Huh? Abandon the game? ”
The two of them were squirting trash talk. One side has come to the Celtics half, and Philadelphia is running the offense.
"I don't know how to write the word give up, why don't you teach me?"
Chen Mu smiled and lowered his right hand. Try to clench your fist.
It hurts.
The index finger hurts terribly.
The team doctor is right, if you don't have surgery and only rely on external physical therapy, it is estimated that there is really no way to completely cure it.
But it's not over yet. You have to keep fighting no matter what......!
"Give it to me!"
Over there, Perkins just wanted to say a few more sarcastic words in response to Chen Mu's arrogant attitude. Here, Chen Mu suddenly activated, and turned around from Perkins' side to get stuck to the position. Reach for the ball.
"Whoosh"
Lowry didn't hesitate and sent a pass directly, Garnett didn't have time to make up for the defense in place, this time Chen Mu had the opportunity to play a back-to-back single!
But with Garnett gone, wouldn't the Celtics have a way to stop the attack?
"Smack!"
In front of Chen Mu's eyes, an arm was raised high, and it was not difficult to see from the slenderness of this arm that it was definitely not Pierce or Ray Allen.
Rajan Rondo, one-handed steal!
“GOGOGO!!”
Rondo intercepted in the air and retracted the ball with one hand, the basketball as miniature as a toy in the palm of his huge hand. With a slap to the ground, he accelerated his own sprint, and Rondo actually made a beautiful man-ball next to Lowry, roaring and rushing forward.
"Formation! Formation!! ”
Carlisle also knew it wasn't good, shouting loudly for his players to keep their attention. But Rondo, who has grown significantly around the Big Three, is no longer the young pure passer.
With one hand, Rondo and basketball are almost integrated, and his dribbling is not as fluid as Paul Nash, nor does he have the natural feel of Kidd Billups, nor does he have the spirituality of Iverson Tim Hardaway.
When Rondo dribbles, he is like a racing driver with extremely solid fundamentals, speeding on the F1 track. There is no flashy feeling, but it has a strong visual impact.
"Bang bang bang!"
The basketball dribbled higher than the average point guard, and Rondo rushed to the frontcourt, and suddenly pulled the ball with one hand at an emergency stop, and Lowry was shaken off the center of gravity.
It's time to make a move!
Chen Mu followed closely behind, and Rondo's shooting habits were too familiar to him, and after the first feint, he would turn around and go to the basket one after another. As long as you master the rhythm, this kind of ball can be completely covered!
With a bang, Chen Mu took off, and his right hand was raised high in the air, completely blocking the airspace between Rondo and the basket. As long as Rondo makes a move, he will be slapped away by Chen Mu immediately.
Rondo's body was already in the air, and it was impossible to dodge the lever anymore, and the moment the basketball was about to be shot, Chen Mu was in front of him. The orange lightning light and shadow disappeared.
Rajan Rondo grabbed the ball to his side with one hand, and without looking, he sent it back with his palm.
"Nice assist !!"
"Bang!"
As soon as Smith shouted, Rondo's pass had crossed Chen Mu's blockade and was sent to Pierce, who was following up. Truth chewed gum and jumped and hit a one-handed dunk.
"Re-hit, don't worry!"
After Chen Mu sent out the baseline ball, he knew that he should say something, and encouraged his teammates loudly, but when he ran forward, he couldn't think of a way in his mind for the time being.
Garnett goes around the front. Perkins defended, while Rondo and Ray Allen were waiting for an opportunity, ready to steal at any time.
This level of defensive treatment, even those ancient gods, have never encountered it a few times in their lives!
What to do?
In this case, how can we break the game?
Coming to the frontcourt, Philadelphia ran high and tactically cooperated, Iguodala rushed to the basket from Chen Mu's side, and Lowry sent a hitting pass at the same time.
"Under the basket!"
Rondo shouted. Garnett was already down to the basket, and after jumping, he slapped his hands on the rebound, waiting for Iguodala to make a move.
Iguodala made a brilliant move, just like Rondo before him. His eyes were clearly looking at the basket, but in fact, he secretly passed the ball backwards with one hand.
Chen Mu, who was doing the wall, was already in place, and immediately jumped to attack the basket after receiving the ball.
"It's coming......!"
Ross Barkley was thrilled, and Philadelphia now desperately needed a strong offensive scoring in response. If Chen Mu's goal can be dunked, Philadelphia's morale can be ......
"Ahhhhh!!hh
Under the basket, Garnett turned sideways in the air. roared angrily in his mouth, it was impossible to block Chen Mu, but he could still do one thing.
A normal thing in this situation.
"Smack!"
Garnett's hand slapped Chen Mu's right hand again.
And this time, Garnett, who was already in the air, did not shoot Chen Mu's arm, but his fingers.
"Uh......!!!"
Chen Mu's right hand hurt, his fingers loosened, and he couldn't control the direction of the basketball at all. The ball in his hand flew out, and a sharp pain came from near the knuckles, Chen Mu bit his teeth, and tried his best to hold the ball out with his palm, making two plus one.
"Beep beep beep!"
The referee's whistle was sharp, Garnett was undoubtedly fouled, and Chen Mu had a free throw opportunity. When he was about to land, Chen Mu's eyes were still staring at the basketball flying towards the basket, and then he saw a figure burst up and slapped the ball out.
Rondo, out of nowhere, covered the ball that Chen Mu threw casually after losing his balance.
The hope of two plus one is completely shattered.
"Still want to play two plus one?"
After landing, Chen Mu felt the sharp pain from his finger joints, and in his ears, Perkins's voice sounded.
"We've studied everything about you and know what you're planning."
Perkins stretched out his hand to grab the rebounding basketball, looked at Chen Mu and said with a smile: "Any chance, you will want to score a goal to create two plus one, we will not give you this opportunity." ”
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
Chen Mu gasped and looked at Perkins' eyes, the pain in his fingers made him speechless.
"Why are you so obsessed with making two plus one? Because...... Your free throws are terrible right now, right? Perkins continued: "We should have guessed correctly. ”
Suffocate.
When he stood on the free throw line, Chen Mu felt the angry eyes of the Celtic crowd around him, and he felt that his breathing was almost stagnant.
This is the defensive policy that the Boston Celtics have developed specifically for my situation.
This is suffocating defense, and this is the true strength of the Celtics on the defensive end!
"Dang!"
Completely unable to control the tremor of his right hand, the basketball smashed high above the basket. Chen Mu, a rare miss on both free throws.
Boston's suffocating defense has just kicked off in front of Chen Mu. (To be continued.) )
