Chapter 891: Special Mission
"Smack!"
"Another rebound!!"
The Philadelphia 76ers missed the final shot of the half, and the basketball bounced up with about two seconds left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Shaq O'Neal is sure and affirmed, his position is perfect, but he is also a former rebounding king-level player, how to pick this kind of rebound, he really knows too well.
But when the basketball fell into his hand, Chen Mu was like a noisy and helpless grasshopper, suddenly jumped up from behind O'Neal, stretched forward with one hand, and took the ball out fiercely.
There's still a second left for him to ......
"Whew......!"
Landing, turning, sky hook.
"Brush!"
Basketball into the net!
βyesοΌοΌοΌ yeeeeesοΌοΌοΌ β
At the end of the half, Chen Mu's whistle hook scored and suppressed the Cavaliers, who played quite well on the offensive end.
60-57 at halftime, the Philadelphia 76ers led by three points.
"It's a good fight, it's good!"
Back in the tunnel, the crowd was still booing loudly, and Cleveland's trademark swearing continued. But everyone can feel that this time the wave of boos is obviously much weaker than at the beginning.
"They feel so good on the outside."
Walking into the players' tunnel, Curry wiped his sweat and said indignantly: "We didn't lose our position on those balls, we were completely in position, and our hands were in front of them." But they still got in, and it was a ...... touch."
"No way, LeBron's passing rhythm is too good, you're the shooter, you know."
Korver was next to him, reached out and patted Curry on the shoulder and said, "But no matter what, they can't keep this shooting rate for the whole game." After all, we have the rebound, and it is only a matter of time before the margin widens. β
"Not necessarily."
Carlisle, who was leading the team in front of the players, suddenly stopped his footsteps slightly, and said sideways: "They shot 57 percent from three-point range in the half, which is too exaggerated." But our team's fitness was declining, and in order to defend their LeBron linkage shooter group tactics, we ran a little too far from the outside. β
"Makes sense."
Chen Mu nodded and said: "Their shooters are too easy on the offensive end, that is, all kinds of running positions are involved, covering each other, all of which can be done without dribbling. Just wait for LeBron to break through the compression defense and pass the ball to feed them. We will have a bit of a physical disadvantage, but in the second half they can maintain a high probability of hitting from the field. β
Shaq and LeBron, even if they don't play the strong side and pile up on each other, are too much of an offensive deterrent under the basket. Philadelphia's defense was not so much about a mistake as it was about having to press back.
The most terrifying thing about the Cavaliers is not only the accurate shooting ability of the outside, but the fact that almost every one of these shooters has the ability to move the ball at the first time.
"It's a team culture."
The players from both sides returned to the dressing room, ready to lay out the tactics for the second half, and the commentary tableside, and when the advertising time passed, the three living treasures began to analyze some details of the first half.
"The team with LeBron is very good at transferring the ball on the strong and weak sides. While the ball is mostly in LeBron's hands, the team's core players have built a culture of moving the ball where everyone gets the ball and only two thoughts come to mind. β
The matter of the shooter group is naturally the most suitable for the super shooter Miller to explain.
"The first is, 'When I have a chance, should I vote?' β
Miller made a shooting motion.
"The second is, 'If the opportunity is not good, shall I pass it on again?' β
I made another passing motion.
"That's the culture of the 'core playmaker' type of players like LeBron and Nash, and it's very difficult for you to let somebody else dribble to create chances or make some nice pass with a noticeable amount of advance. But as long as it's a touch from the outside, just choose whether to pass or shoot, and they can do just fine. β
"Pretty quick ball transfer strategy."
Smith nodded, "It doesn't look like a traditional outside playmaker star." β
"yes, they're the kind of offensive movers I call 'Magic Johnson'. Ninety-five percent of the ball is in their hands, the whole team's offense is basically fed by love, the core of the whole team is stunned as soon as the game is played, and there are two teams on the field or not. β
Barkley started his nonsense: "The other traditional playmakers don't need the ball so much, it's more about developing tactics, getting the ball into the hands of the best single player, or making great assists at certain moments, instigating fast breaks and stuff like that. β
"With a big bag of stars like LeBron, it's easier to match them with players and shape the team culture faster. Traditional playmakers don't have the same easy way to shape the team culture. Unless your strength and mind are at the level of Jason Kidd and Gary Payton. β
"What's wrong with the two of them?"
Miller asked.
'With them, it takes a while to get used to it, and once that's done, the culture is built. That culture...... It's even more terrifying, because everybody knows how to share the ball, not just pass. That way, even if they're not there, they can still affect the game. The other players will still find ways to share the ball and look for the best attacking opportunities. β
Barkley didn't have a big problem saying this, and the two people around him also nodded.
"Speaking of the Cavaliers, let's talk about Philadelphia."
Smith controlled the timing and rhythm of the commentary, and continued: "In the first half today, we saw a very different Philadelphia, and we also saw a very different Philadelphia oracle. β
As he spoke, a wonderful picture of Chen Mu appeared on the screen, and the fans in front of the TV took a closer look, but they felt a little strange.
This...... It doesn't seem to be the Chen Mu we see on weekdays!
Fly to the cap, steal the hand, and chase the hot pot.
Pass assist, clever hands, crotch response.
Single-block cover, turn around the pile, frontcourt rebound.
Chen Mu...... It's like a blue-collar worker!
"Today's Chen, put most of his energy on the defensive end and rebounding scramble, and he carried it hard with Shaq at the beginning, don't say it, the effect is really good!"
Smith said: "After halftime, Shaq O'Neal, who averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds per game in the first three games, only shot 1 of 5, 0 of 2 free throws, got 2 points and 3 rebounds, no blocks, no steals, and two turnovers. β
"How much effort does it take to suppress Shaq to this extent......"
Barkley also felt a chill in his heart, he had competed with O'Neal, and he knew very well that it seemed that he was just hanging on O'Neal and letting him ravage him. But you know, against a guy like O'Neill, who is born with divine powers, any second is an ordeal.
Against O'Neal, one round consumes at least two or three times as much energy as against other players.
Chen Mu's body is very good, but there is a considerable gap between him and O'Neill in terms of height and strength, and even in terms of skeleton.
In order to prevent O'Neill, who is going all out, Chen Mu, how much effort did he put in......?
"Pap, pap, pap......"
Inside the Philadelphia locker room.
"Who's that...... Andre! β
"Huh......?"
Iguodala turned his head and looked at Chen Mu, who was sitting on the side.
In Chen Mu's hand, a can of sports drink was picked up.
"Drive it for me, I'...... Fingers can't exert their strength. β
Chen Mu smiled helplessly, his voice was not very loud, but Iverson and Korver around him heard it.
"I'll do it."
Iverson stepped forward and helped Chen Mu open the drink, puzzled: "Why do you drink this?" Isn't it in barrels? Why don't you just let the rookie pour a cup? β
"I'm here, I'm here!"
Curry hurriedly raised his hand and got up to pour his drink.
"No, no, you sit and sit ......"
Chen Mu waved his hand and tried his best to control his breathing: "I am ...... I don't know what's wrong with this part of the forearm, it's so sore, I can't use it. β
ββ¦β¦ Doctor! β
Carlisle also noticed Chen Mu's situation, and called the team doctor to carefully examine it, but found no structural damage, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that it's too ruthless, and it may ...... A few more times did you get pushed by Shaq's elbow? β
The team doctor pinched Chen Mu's forearm, and Chen Mu grinned in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
"It's not a big problem, it's a muscle problem, take a good rest and relax after this game, and don't train at high intensity before the next game."
The team doctor said, deliberately looking back at Iguodala: "Especially the strength exercises of the apparatus, absolutely not." β
ββ¦β¦ Got it! It's up to me what I'm doing! β
Iguodala bowed her head slightly, also a little embarrassed.
"Is it ...... top defense Shaq so tired?"
Curry asked curiously.
"Why don't you try it for a round?"
Chen Mu scolded with a smile.
"Forget it, forget it, just one or two rounds against LeBron, my body is going to explode."
Curry's head shook like a rattle, and he was scared to pee on the spot.
"You still haven't said why you want to drink this, don't drink the barrel!"
Iverson still minds.
"Uh...... Because this is a classic scene, when the characters are tired, they need to use this way of 'things that are usually easy to do, but suddenly they can't do it'. β
Chen Mu said something that no one could understand.
"Still don't understand."
The crowd shook their heads.
ββ¦β¦ This must be providence!! β
Chen Mu pointed to the sky with a pious expression.
In another dimension, a dead house sits in front of a computer, sneezes and snorts at a keyboard.
"In the second half, the strategy remained the same."
After a commotion, the team doctor and masseur loosened Chen Mu's muscles on the side, and Carlisle began to lay out the second half tactics.
"Chen's side, there is still no time to rest."
"No problem~!"
Chen Mu stretched out his hand and pointed his thumb at himself, which caused his muscles to ache again, and he screamed for a while.
Well...... Wait a minute!
Chen Mu...... Didn't you have a break at halftime?
No way......!
Many people turned around, and their eyes when they looked at Chen Mu changed suddenly.
The boss is always there?
Such an obvious thing, haven't we all noticed??
And, in the second half......
"You're ready to play the whole game?!!"
Iguodala was about to go crazy, and stepped forward to grab Chen Mu's shoulder and shook it back and forth, almost shaking Chen Mu's brain out.
"You...... First...... Other...... Akira ......"
Chen Mu struggled for a while, and finally broke free of Iguodala's manic entanglement, and said with a straight face: "What's the matter, it's not that you haven't played the whole game...... Belch...... Have you ever been beaten? β
"No, there is!"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
"Uh...... Anyway, 45 or 46 minutes are not unplayed, just two or three minutes away, where will it be worse! β
Chen Mu said lightly, which can be regarded as revealing the past, but in everyone's heart, there is still a sigh.
During the pre-game preparation meeting, Carlisle mentioned that since Chen Mu wants to defend O'Neal alone in this game, Chen Mu needs to do two things, so against the Cavaliers, Chen Mu's playing time will be relatively long.
"Maybe only a minute or two off."
That's what Carlisle said at the time.
But all athletes know that taking a break or two minutes or not resting at all are two different things.
In a race, there will always be times when the physical strength is overdrawn to the limit.
When you're quite tired, do a few more consecutive round-trips at full speed......
Even Jordan can't guarantee his physical fitness and can support the highest intensity of play, right?
Especially as an inside line, the original physical consumption will be greater, and Chen Mu's data in this game looks quite strange, and it is also for this reason.
Carlisle and the coaching staff made a pretty bold plan.
A game plan to win Cleveland on the road and return to Philadelphia with a score of 3-1.
"Okay, almost."
After the tactical arrangements are arranged, the players should rest and recharge, and all the players are recovering well.
The Philadelphia 76ers are back on the court.
βboooooooooββοΌοΌοΌβ
The fans, after half a recharge, got a mental recovery. Originally, in the second half of the second quarter, the boos, which had begun to die down a little, broke out again.
"It's back! It's back! Players from both teams are back! Our game-winning rebounding leader is back!! β
However, on the side of the commentary stage, Smith shouted out a word, and the words he said were a little confusing.
Super Rebounding King ......??
So far in this game, it is clear that the outside players of the two teams have played better, and Chen Mu and LeBron are not eye-catching!
Why did Smith focus on the rebounding king?
"This statistic, hahahaha, is rare in the history of the NBA playoffs!"
Barkley held a piece of paper in his hand, shaking his head incessantly, very proud.
The statistics are naturally Chen Mu's.
Throughout the first half, Chen Mu almost had no personal offensive shots, but his presence on the court was amazing.
Especially in the second half of the first quarter and before the end of the half, Chen Mu's performance in rebounding and scrambling made the Cavaliers, who had almost a 60% three-point shooting rate, helpless.
"Are you ready?"
Back on the court, seeing LeBron, Chen Mu stretched out his hand to move his forearm muscles, and said with a smile: "Half time, have you seen my technical statistics." β
"I've seen it."
The corners of LeBron's mouth twitched slightly.
"Just ask if you're afraid."
Chen Mu raised his head and threw himself into the offensive ......! (To be continued.) )
