Chapter 206: A belated outburst

On the offensive end, he was first blocked by Chen Muzhun and then interrupted by Iguodala in his hand.

On the defensive end, he was deceived by Chen Mu's few steps, watching the opponent score.

rebounding, originally had an advantage, but was suddenly served by Chen Mu's "dog walking tactics", and then his head was dizzy, which caused the dissatisfaction of the eldest brother in the team.

Returning to the bench and sitting down, Evans, who had suffered so much in the third quarter, did not feel angry or dissatisfied.

It's relief.

"Finally, I don't have to continue to entangle with the Chinese kid......"

Evans, who likes to entangle with opponents the most in his life, has never encountered such a hated opponent, and he has been calculated step by step since the third quarter, constantly falling into the trap of the Chinese kid, and his performance is terrible.

Now recalling his strong play in the second half of the second quarter, the Chinese boy's "bruises", Evans even had some doubts in a trance whether those embarrassments and loss of power would also be part of the Chinese boy's "evil plan".

grabbed 11 rebounds in 12 minutes on the court, and Evans' statistics deserved the "reputation" of rebounding maniacs. A zero-shot score hangs the egg, and Evans himself has done this kind of thing.

Even more outrageous 0 points and 20 rebounds in a single game Evans have been made, and today's game statistics are not unusual.

But such a physically and mentally exhausting game is the first time Evans has encountered it in his memory.

"This way, this way!"

When he raised his eyes and saw that on the court, the Chinese kid was still running around like a nobody, constantly picking up rebounds and sending passes. From time to time, there is a little bit of rubbing, and Evans is called powerless in his heart.

Won't this damn Chinese kid ever get tired??

The Chinese kid is diligent and hardworking. Evans can imagine it without looking up the information. Recalling that when I met Philadelphia with the SuperSonics last season, the Chinese kid at that time was still very weak, and he was bullied enough by Wilcox.

Now on the field, although the strength is not as good as himself, Evans knows very well that the strength level of the Chinese kid has basically reached the average of the league.

In the middle of a season. It's not uncommon for interior players with the potential to gain weight to have a surge in strength. But what a hard work it takes. Evans knows exactly how much sweat it takes to do it in the equipment room.

Last season, the Chinese kid who fell down like a pock, and fell into a coma after playing for a long time with physical scum, has already completed his super transformation. He is not a physical expert now. It can be used as the core of the team to maintain a high intensity of long games. It seems that the problem is no longer too big.

Some didn't think about these things, and Evans's eyes finally focused on the court.

"Smack!"

Another rebound was scored, and Chen Mu's personal rebounding data has soared to 17, not far from his personal record of 23.

Even if the combination of Camby and Martin can control the Chinese kid in a targeted manner and make him unable to break his own record, it is already obvious to win 20+ rebounds in a single game again.

saw Chen Mu running wildly, responding, passing, covering, and impacting rebounds again and again. A wonderful question blew away all thoughts in Evans' mind.

"Why is the Chinese kid's rebounding ability so godly?!"

Think back to your basketball career. From the rise of the high school league, to the lack of offensive skills in the college league, he began to study rebounding skills, and then after entering the NBA, he became more and more diligent in practicing rebounding skills because of his height disadvantage.

Evans didn't waste much time where he shouldn't have wasted his energy, his flying honor, and the meat grinder-like style of play on the court, didn't give him much capital and opportunity to revelry.

"I've worked so rebounding, and the videos and materials I've seen can spare the earth twice, why is it still weaker than him in judging the landing point?"

Evans' question is also on the minds of all the players in the league. Before the 05 national youth team in the United States, the little-known Chinese kid was practicing rebounding kung fu before? And how did you get the ability to judge the landing point of this amazing hand?

In order to deal with the Chinese boy, many teams have even looked at the video of his game in the national youth team and even the local youth team through various means and channels, and the conclusion is exactly the same as that of Chen Mu's mentor Lao Hu.

"The physical fitness is the top among the yellow people, world-class athleticism, the basketball IQ is seriously lacking, and the offense is extremely poor."

How did such a guy start in China and start practicing this league-winning rebounding kung fu?

No one knows the answer.

"Is talent really that mysterious......?"

Evans fell into deep thought.

Of course, if Evans knew that the reason turned out to be a "plug-in", I am afraid that our Xiao Chen would really be caught and sliced as the book friends said......

Off the court, the third quarter of the game was nearing its end.

In the first half of the third quarter, Chen Mu found a feeling in the confrontation with Evans, and made a brilliant performance on both offensive and defensive ends, which finally made Carl unbearable and replaced Evans.

After Martin came back, he rested for a long time, his physical strength was just right, and he didn't suffer a loss against Chen Mu, who had lost his physical strength, and both sides played decently.

After entering the transition section, the two sides were on the bench, and the nightmare of the first half transition period reappeared.

The 76ers bench, who lost Carney's important scoring point, was not the opponent of the Nuggets bench at all, and the 76ers, who had finally regained the advantage, were overtaken again.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Cheeks tightly controlled the playing time of his players. As a player, against his old club and former team-mates, it is understandable that he wants to have a good performance. But as a coach, Cheeks has to control this impulse, and this game was blown before the game, and everyone paid attention, but in the end it was just a regular season game.

If it is because of the impulsiveness of the players, the team fights too hard and leaves sequelae. Even if there is a downsizing, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Come on......!"

On the bench, the main players of the 76ers were also very anxious. They were able to understand Cheeks' arrangement. But as players, they are mainly young players, and they all want to win.

Seeing that the substitute players were playing very hard and the game situation was getting worse and worse, Chen Mu was also very anxious.

"Beep"

Finally, the dead ball appeared, and the two sides made substitutions. With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the decisive moment is approaching, and the main lineup will be on the court again.

"Maintain the opening tactics unchanged. Grab the speed, grab the counterattack, and kick them out of Philadelphia! ”

"Roar!"

Cheeks' chicken soup for the soul was poured just in time, and the players roared angrily. Rise to the challenge with great momentum.

89 to 94. The 76ers trailed by five points and the game resumed.

Philadelphia attacked, Miller kept directing his teammates to run after controlling the ball, and always had to watch out for Iverson's ghostly steals, which was not embarrassing, but it was already a little difficult.

Chen Mu made several covers in a row and successfully fell into the low post, Martin's defense is much stronger than Evans, and Chen Mu suffered in the first half. However, there is no good way to score in positional warfare now, and it falls into a low single. It's already the most secure solution that the 76ers can give.

Miller passed the ball in place, Chen Mu began to play with his back, Martin was very physical, and spared no effort to defend, Chen Mu couldn't find a good opportunity to sway left and right, so he had to force his hand to hook his hand.

Naturally, the basketball failed to hit, and Camby also learned to be smart, not entangled with Chen Mu on the defensive end, so Martin switched to defense, and he kept an eye on Iguodala's movements while scrambling for rebounds all the time.

A rebound was grabbed, Camby held it high and sent a pass, and the Nuggets wanted to launch a fast break, but the 76ers' defense did not show weakness, retreating extremely quickly, and did not give obvious opportunities.

"Steady down and open the score!"

Even though he was once the son of Philadelphia, now that he has arrived on a new team, Iverson is not ready to let go of his former younger brothers, and after a steady advance, he will pass the ball quickly, and Anthony will take the ball on the strong side and face the Korver defense.

The Nuggets also started the opening offense again, planting two scoring bombs on both sides, and the rest of the players were involved in running, with a clear purpose, continuing to "raise" Anthony's touch, hoping that he could find the feeling and blow up Korver.

With a tentative step with the ball, a standard triple threat, Anthony's skill set is beyond reproach at this point. Korver defended seriously, but after all, he suffered physically, making way for space under Anthony's tentative step, who raised his hand to score a two-pointer.

"Huh"

The basketball hit crisply, and Anthony's intermittent play continued, and this time it felt good.

"Get it back!"

Chen Mu shouted to send the baseline ball, the 76ers players began to run, and quickly settled down after coming to the frontcourt, Iguodala came to the top of the arc to take the basketball, relying on Camby to pounce, a three-point shot.

"Dang!"

Iguodala played very fast today, but the shot was always not open, the basketball missed, the Nuggets had already killed Chen Muka, and the whole team worked hard to pick up the rebound and turn back to Iverson.

After coming to the frontcourt, Iverson drew the same gourd, still the same running pass, and Anthony received the ball on the strong side again.

is still a tentative step, or a shot in his hand, the basketball in Anthony's hand seems to have finally developed a tacit understanding with him and hits steadily.

β€œYES!”

Anthony himself was a little excited, hitting two shots in a row, it felt good!

The score difference has been 9 points, Chen Mu did not dare to slack off, and began to run back in the process of participating in the attack, Iguodala made a pass in place, and Chen Muzhong made a shot.

But the 76ers didn't have time to celebrate, and the Nuggets had already sent a baseline ball, and the ball was not given to point guard Iverson, but directly to Anthony.

Melon unhurriedly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, paused outside the right three-point line at the top of his favorite arc, half a step away from the three-point line, and suddenly shot without warning.

"Huh"

With this apparently high-pitched three-point shot, Carmelo Anthony finally found his groove after three quarters of hard work with his own bad hand, reaching out for a three-way gesture and tapping his temple hard.

The difference came to 10 points. (To be continued......)
