Chapter 389: Lack of motivation

The next day, Detroit.

"There are some things that cannot be achieved in the away conditions, but in the playoffs, everyone knows the roots, and there is no need to do anything new tactics that are too risky, in case it is not done well, it will ruin your rhythm."

Inside the training ground provided by the visiting team, the Philadelphia 76ers players are running tactics.

Cheeks stood aside, observing whether there was any problem with the players' running position, and said: "Our biggest advantage in this round of the game has been used, the KING card has been played, and the next game can only be a hard-fought competition, and we can't think that a miracle has happened!" ”

Everyone knows that the miracle that Cheeks said is Chen Mu's 100 shots in the first game.

Facing the Pistons, Chen Mu's sudden Golden Rooster independent backward jumper in the first game was shocking, and many commentators analyzed it accurately after the game.

The unanimous opinion of the experts is that this is not a coincidence.

Judging from the stability of Chen Mu's shooting posture, the Chinese kid must have trained quite hard and completely mastered this skill before he used it in the game.

As for the reasons for the sudden appearance of such a technique, experts are too lazy to guess. The Chinese kid has always brought surprises in the game from time to time, such as previous mid-range shots, backs, blocks, steals, and assists...... And so on, all the techniques seemed to come out overnight, and when they first appeared, they were very shocking to people.

Over time, people know that the Chinese kid is a fairly stable guy, and if he doesn't practice a skill enough to affect the game, he won't show it off. The only exception is the step-back jumper that has continued this season until now, from the beginning of the season with no match, to now it is not perfect. But it can already be used as a conventional weapon, and everyone has witnessed this process.

But just when people thought that Chen Mu's backward jump shot would probably become his first technique to cultivate little by little under the eyes of the public, the sudden appearance of Golden Rooster independence opened people's eyes again.

After the game, someone even interviewed Nowitzki, who was battling the Suns in the Western Conference playoffs. Ask him what he thinks of Chen Mu's movements being so similar to his own.

"What can you think? From the loss in the finals to now, I have been practicing for two whole years before I can see a slight improvement. But Chen used it suddenly, and the effect was no worse than mine. Either he's been practicing hard for more than two years, or he's a super genius who surpasses me a lot. The German tank replied with a wry smile.

For a team of Pistons' level, an experienced coach like Sanders will not be restrained by Chen Mu's move. Before the start of the second game, the Pistons will definitely be able to find a way to limit Chen Mu's Golden Rooster independence. This is what everyone assumed was going to happen.

Maybe Chen Mu's move is indeed very difficult to prevent, and it will cause a lot of trouble to the Pistons, but it is unlikely to use this move from the beginning to the end.

Not to mention a 100% hit that is rare for many years.

Therefore, the only way to go is to regain your rhythm and play what you are best at.

"We didn't do well in the first game, if it wasn't for Chen's excellent performance, we would have lost!" Chicks said solemnly: "Chen's hand only feels a little worse. Hit two less balls and it will end up being a deuce. It's hard for the piston to adjust the mentality. It's very likely that we can kill us. ”

"We can't just expect Chen to break out alone, the whole team has to work hard and play our own basketball rhythm together. What is our rhythm, tell me out loud! ”

"Defensive counter-attacking !!"

The players ran tactically, shouting in unison.

"What's the point of a defensive counterattack?" Cheeks continued to ask.

"Defensive !!"

"It's good to know." Cheeks frowned: "The defense in the first game was not bad, but the rhythm was not brought up. There are also mistakes at critical moments, and this must be avoided in the second game! ”

"Yes!"

Among the players, Lowry's shouting was particularly loud.

Whether it is the failure to counterattack or the mistake at the critical moment, it is Lowry's responsibility. No one can carry this pot for Lowry.

The Philadelphia master knew that if the game was lost, his steal would become a full-court defeat and a major factor in the 76ers' loss.

To improve, I have to improve myself, to become strong, to become stronger!

Lowry thought silently in his heart, and he became more and more active in running.

After an hour, the training ends.

"Okay, disband!"

Cheeks clapped his hands, and the tired players gasped off the pitch and walked out in twos and threes.

"It's still not enough......"

Walking out of the training ground, Chen Mu frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.

"What's not enough? How much to practice? Iguodala probed: "It can't be too much, too many words will backfire, just the right amount." ”

"It's not a practice thing." Chen Mu shook his head and said: "It's the fighting spirit, our fighting spirit doesn't seem to be enough." ”

"...... fighting spirit?"

Iguodala couldn't quite understand what Chen Mu meant, and looked back at the "smart man" Lowry.

Lowry blinked and said, "Boss, what do you mean...... Win ** or something?? ”

"That's right, it's to win." Chen Mu nodded and said, "Although the first game was won, it was ...... I always feel that the Pistons' winning ** seems to be stronger than us. ”

"Yes, they lost the first game, and in the next game, the win will definitely be stronger than before." Korver agreed: "We always say we want to win, but after winning one round, if you face the Cavaliers, the odds of winning are still low, so maybe you don't have much desire for the playoffs." ”

Korver's words woke up the dreamer.

Oh, yes!

Chen Mu patted his brain, and suddenly understood the reason.

For the Pistons, how long can this current formidable starting combination last as the interior ages? The interior players in the league with Rashid's ability are not something that can be found casually. Even if it can be found, with the salary and ability of the Pistons outside trio, how much space will be left to strengthen the inside?

So the Pistons players are well aware. The time left for them to compete for the title is very short, maybe in a year or two. If you still can't win the championship in the past two years, maybe the careers of most of the players in the team will be like this.

Driven by this mentality, the Pistons players are very aggressive. Whether it's for the championship or to prove yourself. Or you want to prove to the world that Pistons' basketball can still stand on the top. From Billups to McDyes, every Pistons player is holding their breath and fighting for victory in every series.

Because for them, the playoffs are a place where they can go a long way.

And what about the 76ers?

A young team that is improving every year and now it looks like next season will be better than this one.

But in terms of current strength, even if the 76ers can miraculously Black Seven successfully defeat the Pistons. Breaking into the second round is likely to face LeBron and his Cavaliers.

How far can the 76ers go in the playoffs? Is the difference really big between the semi-finals and the first round?

Except for a victory maniac like Chen Mu, I'm afraid there aren't many players who really have a strong fighting spirit and want to get past the first round.

Anyway, we're still young, it's a big deal, and there's next year!

In the minds of most players, I am afraid that is what they think.

This question. What can be done?

What kind of power source do you need to find so that your teammates can go all out to win?

Chen Mu couldn't find an answer for the time being.

Thereupon. Two days later, the 76ers, who had won the first game, had not recovered from the miracle of the first game, and in the face of the vicious Avengers Pistons, they gave up resistance almost after halftime.

Two hours passed, and the smooth game ended. 88-110, the Philadelphia 76ers lost away.

“FXXKOFF76ERS!!!”

“TAKETHIS!! HAHAHA!! ”

“GOHOMEANDCRY!!!”

In the stadium of Auburn Hills Palace, the fans who were so aggrieved in the first game finally found a chance to vent, an almost devastating game. The Pistons fought for their fans. At this time, in the face of the 76ers players who left the court in defeat, they naturally continued to ridicule, and the words they said were very ugly.

Especially the team's main player Chen Mu, who played 31 minutes in the game, was pressed on the bench after the team fell behind by a large score. Although he still scored a double-double of 20 points and 14 rebounds, he failed to repeat the miracle of the first game in terms of shooting percentage, only 6 of 17 shots in the game, and the shooting rate was quite bad.

"Chinese kid? Chinese dumplings! ”

On the side of the stadium, there were even fans of Motor City who knew Chinese holding up such slogans, ridiculing Chen Mu's performance on the court as if it were a plate of dumplings, anyone could pick it up and chew it casually.

“YOUSONOFA……”

"Shh

Chen Mu grabbed Carney, who wanted to scold the fans, lowered his head and walked to the players' tunnel, and when he was about to walk in, a cold touch woke him up at once.

A glass of Coke, with a Coke that had not completely melted the ice cubes, was poured on Chen Mu's body, and the cold touch flowed all the way from Chen Mu's back, stimulating his nerves and seducing his anger.

“WTF……?!!”

Carney couldn't bear it anymore, and when he turned around, he wanted to scold, but another glass of Coke was poured directly on Carney's face.

"Me @#¥%&*......!!!"

Carney couldn't even finish his curse, and he jumped up in anger, and was about to rush to the audience to make a move.

Behind him, a strong hand grabbed him.

"Want to be banned??"

Chen Mu glared at Carney, who shrank his neck and gritted his teeth to forcibly suppress the anger in his heart.

Of course, it's not okay, it's the playoffs, it's Auburn Hills, and the fans here are known all over the world for their irritability. If Carney, an important backup scorer, is suspended, it will be a big problem.

However, if he didn't say anything at this time, it was not Chen Mu's character.

"Uh-huh......!"

Chen Mu slowly turned his head, looked at the coke fans who were pointing to him laughing in the stands not far away, and spoke. (To be continued.) )
