The 2006-2007 season was an incomparably bitter memory for Seattle SuperSonics fans.

This season's supersonics, the two muskets on the outside are still sharp, averaging nearly 50 points per game and shooting 5.5 three-pointers per game. Before the Golden State Warriors' outside BT Quasi-Curry and Thompson began to explode many years later, this team's outside combination was always considered a symbol of three-point rain.

The little beast Wilcox, the hard-working Nick Collisson, and the solid point guard Luke Riedno, three highly functional players, paired with two muskets, should theoretically burst into dazzling sparks and take the supersonic one step further.

It's a pity that in this lineup, except for Allen, the rest of the people lack personal offensive ability, including Lewis, it is difficult to open the situation by themselves.

What's worse is that as a team with super muskets, the supersonic interior rebounding is very bad. In the mid-season trade last season, Evans, the team's only rebounding maniac, left Denver, and the SuperSonics no longer had the capital to fight for rebounds with their opponents. If the outside shot is not accurate, the team will immediately fall into passivity.

This is also the reason why when facing Chen Mu in the offseason, the SuperSonics will give a super high offer:

They really want a rebounder.

"Next year we will take Oden, then you will come on the field and be completely beaten by him!"

"If we take Durant and he becomes a superstar in the future, you don't regret it!"

Although Chen Mu can't control all this, Philadelphia's matching contract is very resolute, but the fans don't care about this, and they can't hide their disappointment in this season, and they actually shouted the slogan of competing for the top pick at the beginning of the season, which made the Philadelphia players laugh, and the supersonic players were helpless.

"That is, this year's bad results are just our layout! Next year is the focus! ”

A fan sat in the near-court position, stood up and shouted to Chen Mu, who was warming up: "Even if it is a competition for the champion, you can't rob us!" ”

Chen Mu was completely amused by the fan's words, and after hitting a shot, he turned back to the fan and smiled: "Who said we were going to compete for the championship?" We've only started the season with three wins, and this season, we're definitely going to make the playoffs! ”

"Fart!"

"Think beautifully!"

"Playoffs? I think you're dizzy! ”

Chen Mu's words caused the fans to burst into shocking boos again, and they stretched out their hands to Chen Mu and laughed loudly.

Fans are right, this season's 76ers lineup is not much better than the SuperSonics. Now that even Webber is injured, the starting lineup looks miserable, and the important firepower on the bench, Salmons and Barnes, have also left, leaving only a recruit like Carney, who is unlikely to make the playoffs.

In the face of the ridicule of the fans, Chen Mufu smiled, and Gu Zi continued to warm up. He knew that the fans who would enter the stadium at this time and wait for the game to start were all die-hard fans, and there was no benefit in arguing with them.

As Iguodala said, it's not necessarily a bad thing to have away fans spray before the game starts. At least it proves that Chen Mu's every move, especially the choice of whether to stay in the team or not, has begun to have an impact on the hearts of fans of other teams.

This proves that Chen Mu has become a force worthy of attention in the minds of fans, if there is an opportunity, no matter how big the price is, it will be brought to his command, if the solicitation is not successful, he will naturally be sprayed hard to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"Don't pay attention to the interference of the outside world, as strong as Jordan, he also grew up in the voice of the fans, as long as the heart is strong enough and focuses on improving the game, you can shut them up!"

After the warm-up, Chen Mu returned to the bench and sat down, watching the opening ceremony of the supersonic team, and his heart was eager to try.

"On the court, strength is the last word!"

After having his back steps, Chen Mu has not shown it to anyone, and even his teammates don't know that Chen Mu has undergone another transformation.

This is not because Chen Mu wants to hide this trick, but because in the virtual training camp, although time will not pass, the physical and mental fatigue will continue to reality.

Yesterday day, Chen Mu was extremely tired, flew to NIKE headquarters in the morning to sign a contract, returned to Los Angeles in the afternoon and immediately started the training camp, and did not rest for too long today, participated in the morning breakfast club practice, and came to Seattle with the team in the afternoon.

After this toss, Chen Mu's body and mind were exhausted, and when he thought that there were still several away games to play in the future, he couldn't help but sigh that people's energy was really limited.

"It's a bit too aggressive this time, and the next time I have a chance to go to training camp, it's better to go back to Philadelphia and start it. After all, there is no need to travel hard in Philadelphia, and the burden on the body will be lighter. ”

Here, Chen Mu is recalling the new abilities he gained in the training camp, and over there, Cheeks has begun to make the final pre-game mobilization.

"In this game, there was a lot of pressure on us from the outside. Kyle, Andre, you two have to do everything you can to stop Ray and Rashad from shooting, and if they find the rhythm and feel to shoot, we're in big trouble. ”

Cheeks' expression was serious, although the opponent's strength was not strong, but the strength and weakness were clear. Playing against such an opponent is the time to test his coaching skills.

"Miller, Ridno's steals and three-pointers are not bad, so be patient with the ball and hit him in the low post when you have the chance. He's not a Kassel, his anti-back skills are very average, and his body is also very thin, you will get an advantage! ”

Miller nodded slightly, in fact, there was no need for Cheeks to say, he had already made a calculation in his heart, and he wanted to teach the junior on the opposite side a lesson with his back single.

"Steven, Nick has a shot, you have to be more careful, don't give him an open chance, try to grab the rebound, don't let him take advantage."

Hunter didn't speak, but his eyes were already on the equally taciturn opponent Collison, and the confrontation between the two defensive sappers was bound to burst out with a different kind of spark.

"Finally, Chen."

After assigning the tasks of the other players, Cheeks turned his head to look at Chen Mu and said, "Their Chris is completely different from our Chris, and the style is almost two extremes. Although Wilcox doesn't have mature offensive skills, he is physically strong, has good bounces, and is full of hard work, and is an inside beast. ”

"It's not like facing Murphy and the like, it's hard to take advantage of the power, be cautious, pass more and run more, and use the middle distance to solve the fight!"

"Coach, I have a request."

After Cheeks finished speaking, he just wanted to encourage a few words of encouragement to welcome the game, but Chen Mu said: "After the opening, can you give me three rounds to catch the ball in the low post?" ”

"Huh......?"

Cheeks was stunned when he heard this, and the rest of the 76ers team members were also shocked, and they all looked back at Chen Mu, not understanding what tricks this Chinese kid was playing with endless whimsical ideas.

"Three rounds, I'll only need three rounds." Chen Mu gritted his teeth and said: "I won't tell you, I've been practicing my back skills recently, although Wilcox is physically strong, but his defensive skills are very average, I want to try, can I use my back to open up the situation!" ”

"You ......"

Cheeks wanted to speak and stopped, theoretically speaking, it was obviously not a wise choice to use a hard hand like Chen Mu to fight against Wilcox, who did not suffer in strength. But recalling the previous games, Chen Mu had repeatedly used his actions and strength to perfectly resolve the team's crisis after taking the initiative to put forward some tactical requirements.

From the first mid-range shot, to the passing feast before the Cavaliers, to the defensive ability that has improved by leaps and bounds at the start of the season. Every time Chen Mu took the initiative to ask for tactical adjustments, he finally received miraculous results.

This Chinese kid, it seems that every time he takes the initiative to ask for changes, he will show superhuman progress in a certain aspect, and he has never disappointed the team.

"Okay, three rounds."

Cheeks thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll give you three rounds, and if you really make great progress, go show us on the court!" ”

On Chen Mu's side, Iguodala and the others didn't say much, for Chen Mu, they were 200% relieved, just because he did what he said, and never put the team in crisis because of his own reasons.

"Kyle and Andre, you need to run a lot more and make room for Chen, ready to respond. They don't have a reliable rim protector, and in this game, we have to ignite a raging fire on the inside, and use the wind of the inside attack to completely blow away their three-point rain! ”

"Good!"

The players were full of confidence, walked into the stadium, and in the expectant eyes of the fans, the game began.

Hunter won the ball for the team, and for the first attack, Chen Mu did not hesitate to come to the low post and began to open his hands to ask for the ball.

"The Chinese kid is in the waist position, either passing the ball or throwing the ball!"

Wilcox had already figured out Chen Mu's offensive routine, squeezed it with his strength, and stuck the position fiercely, without wavering at all.

Miller's pass was accurate, and after Chen Mu held the ball, he didn't look around for passing opportunities as Wilcox thought, but directly began to dribble and push back hard.

"This kid...... You're going to hit me in the back! ”

Wilcox was startled, hurriedly lowered his center of gravity and concentrated on the defense, made a plan in his heart, and stepped forward to press at the moment when Chen Mu turned into a face frame, strictly guarding against Chen Mu's mid-shot.

However, Chen Mu did not plan to win.

"Let's start with UP&UNDER!"

Chen Mu whispered to himself, and before Wilcox could understand what Chen Mu was talking about, he saw the big man in front of him suddenly turn to the middle, facing the basket sideways, and stretching the ball to the basket with one hand with his right hand.

He's going to go to the basket!

Wilcox reacted immediately, hurriedly jumped up and prepared to block, but the basketball that was close at hand suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already come to the left side of the basket.

"Huh"

With a light right hand hook, the basketball fell steadily into the frame, and Chen Mu nodded slowly and smiled while returning to defense.

"Special training, it really works!" (To be continued.) )
