Chapter 121: Countermeasures

Signature mid-range hits.

It's unbelievable not to look at people passing.

Crazy rebounding scramble.

The score of the dunk after receiving the ball down.

On the big screen in the center of the Wajovia Center, Chen Mu's wonderful performance highlights were constantly replayed, attracting cheers from the fans.

Especially when the picture came to Chen Mu's four consecutive big hats, which were given to Bosh and Banyani respectively, the fans in the audience stood up from their seats and applauded incessantly.

Last season's defensive colander, Chen Mu, a Chinese kid who had no way to face the back-to-back master and the mid-shot beautiful boy, overdrove and evolved again!

At the end, Chen Mu's data statistics in the first half appeared on the screen, and a data was highlighted, which led to a full house.

"4 blocks in the half!"

Although everyone knows that the reason why Chen Mu can achieve such a terrifying block data in the half court is mainly because the Raptors main Bosh has been a little angry for a period of time, and he has constantly tried to shoot, which gave Chen Mu the opportunity to "brush the data".

However, data is not a buying and selling, and it is not something that anyone can brush if they want to.

The halftime was over, and the 76ers came from behind, temporarily leading 53-46 at home.

On the bench, Chen Mu gasped for breath and kept drinking sports drinks.

Beside him, Iverson looked relaxed, looking at this reliable big man, and couldn't help but feel a sense of security in his heart.

Since the battle with the Pistons last season, Chen Mu made that "stupid" lore declaration, and finally succeeded. Iverson already has enough trust in this junior from across the ocean.

"There is no truth in the NBA, only strength is the foundation of the foothold!"

The Chinese kid Chen Mu used his own strength to clean up his "wild words", and his ability to do what he said made Iverson, a natural fighter, very admirable.

On the other side, Iguodala was even more smiling from ear to ear, as Chen Mu's best teammate in the team, how Iguodala hoped that Chen Mu could one day practice reliable defense and guard the Philadelphia penalty area with him.

"You kid! When did you develop this defensive skill? It feels even better than the preseason! Didn't you even call me to secretly practice defense in the offseason? See if I don't clean you up! Ha ha! ”、

In the previous team, Iguodala was almost the only player who really took defense as his own responsibility, although this is Iguodala's job, but the loneliness in his heart has never been understood.

Most of us have this feeling when playing wild ball, and all the players in the team regard themselves as scoring champions, and taking the ball is an onslaught. When it came to defense, we walked all the way, who broke through and who scored, leaving our players who are willing to defend to be anxious.

This kind of "loneliness of defenders" can only be experienced by friends who play often.

Now, Chen Mu has near-average defensive skills, and Iguodala's burden is much lighter, so he is naturally smiling and in a good mood.

In addition, the rookie players who cooperated with Chen Mu in the transition section also had a good impression of Chen Mu.

Carney and Amondsen both received Chen Mu's pass, easily scored the first point of their careers, and got the opportunity to show themselves in front of fans all over the world, not to mention how happy they were.

With such an "old rookie" who is willing to do dirty work to lead the team, taking the lead on the defensive end and willing to share the ball on the offensive end, the rookies' trust in Chen Mu has reached a higher level, and they can't wait to take root in Philadelphia and stay forever.

Chen Mu's temperament is as kind as a spring breeze to his teammates and ruthless as an autumn breeze to his opponents, which makes Philadelphia fans quite loved.

"Wait until Aaron is old and build a team with Chinese boys as the core? Why not! ”

After the pause in the middle of the second quarter, Chen Mu did not play again, and the two teams started to fight each other.

Bosh and Iverson scored back-to-back points for the team, and the sparks were splashed on both ends of the floor, and the difference was always between 5 and 10 points.

In the midst of the uproar, the referee blew the whistle and the second half began.

The game was fast-paced, with a lot of young players in both teams, playing fast and defensively. The game time also went quickly, and it didn't take long for the official timeout.

"Chen, have you rested enough? If you've rested enough, give me a game! ”

Chicks looked at Chen Mu, who smiled easily, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up and said, "I can't ask for it!" ”

On the Raptors' side, the lineup made certain adjustments, and the backcourt became a dual point guard composed of Ford and Calderon, and Anthony Parker was put on the top of the No. 3 position.

On the inside, Nesterovich, who had been underperforming, was replaced, Bosh moved to the center forward position, and Gabajosa was sent on as a power forward.

"Lightweight, double point guard ......?"

Seeing the Raptors' lineup, Cheeks frowned and said to himself, "Are you ready to play a quick counterattack?" ”

The Raptors have an interesting lineup, and Ford is a speed maniac, with a very good level of breakthroughs and shot-sharing. Calderon is the epitome of solid control, almost never making low-level turnovers, being careful with every shot, and having a good crosshair from beyond the three-point line.

Anthony Parker needless to say, the standard off-ball pitcher should come up with the goal of playing with Korver.

But the combination of Bosh and Gabajosa on the inside line is a little incomprehensible.

Bosh is a ball-holding point, an ace star, and a singles master. Gabajosa is an old fritter, with a single hand of shooting skills both inside and outside, as well as a unique European vision and ball-sharing technique.

This lineup seems to be strong offensively and weak defensively, and will be sieveed by a group of Philadelphia bandits led by Iverson, but it is very resilient, and its mobility and shooting ability are a notch above ordinary teams.

What are the Raptors up to?

At the beginning of the game, the 76ers had the ball, and the offensive end started as simple as ever, Chen Mu received the ball at the waist position, and the gorgeous shot was divided into the ground, Iguodala received the ball and then passed a hand, and Iverson hit a shot in one step inside the three-point line.

"Steady!"

The Raptors attacked, and the basketball was delivered to Calderon. The invincible backcourt core in Europe controlled the ball steadily, advancing unhurriedly to the front court and directing his teammates to run.

In front of Chen Mu, Bosh did not reach out for the ball, but came to the strong side, made a cover for Gabajosa, and then ran around the bottom line to the weak side.

"This routine...... So familiar! ”

Chen Mu was startled, hurriedly chased after him, and after running for less than two steps, he was blocked by Parker who came out of nowhere.

"Whoosh"

CalderΓ³n, meanwhile, had already sent the ball to Gabajosa, and with a deft one-handed flick of the King of Spain, the ball whizzed past the middle of the box and into Bosh's hands.

"Huh"

The standard jump shot hit, Bosh suddenly had a pride on his face, glared at Chen Mu fiercely, and went back to the defense.

"Is this ......?!"

At this time, all the 76ers players reacted.

The Raptors are running their tactics!

In this attack, Gabajosa is Webb last season, Calderon is Iverson, Anthony Parker is Iguodala, and Bosh is Chen Mu last season!

On the offensive end, Iverson tried to break through, the rebound was picked up by Bosh, the Raptors did not have the slightest intention of counterattacking quickly, Calderon got the basketball and continued to advance steadily.

Coming to the front, it was the same running position again, Gabajosa held the ball at the waist and turned his back, and Bosh quickly rushed to the weak side.

"Don't think about it!"

Chen Mu is too familiar with this set of tactics, and he ran to the weak side the moment Bosh started, flashing Parker's cover with difficulty on the way, and just came to the bottom line of the weak side, but Bosh suddenly ran back.

"Whoosh"

Gabajosa turned his back to the basket, and the basketball in his hand was suddenly thrown high above his head, and Bosh just got rid of Chen Mu's heel and came to the basket, jumped up, grabbed the basketball with his long arm, and smashed it into the frame.

"Roar!!

After landing, Bosh shouted his trademark "dragon roar", and his already long and terrifying neck stretched out longer, looking like a velociraptor dragon.

"No, not only our tactics, but also ......"

Looking at the Raptors players with confidence, Chen Mu finally understood the other party's thoughts.

"And it's an improved version of our tactics from last season!"

Compared with Chen Mu, Bosh's ability to hold the ball and go heads-up is a few steps higher, and correspondingly, his off-ball running involves a larger defensive surface.

A shot in the bottom line by covering is just a layout, and the follow-up anti-run empty catch is just a warm-up, and the real killer move is still to come!

"Can't let Bosh find his senses!"

Chen Mu knew that it was not good, and he was inevitably a little impatient in his heart, and after receiving the ball on the offensive end, he tried to pass the ball several times without success, so he had no choice but to shoot in the middle.

"When"

The basketball smashed out of the frame, Bosh jumped high to pick up the rebound, handed the ball to Calderon, ran past Chen Mu, and said, "YO, Chinese boy, how does it feel to be defeated by your best tactics?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chen Mu didn't say a word, Bosh was right, from all aspects, the current Bosh is a fully upgraded version of Chen Mu on the offensive end.

The mid-range shot is more accurate, the mobility is not reduced, the ball holding level is superb, and the threat of the face frame is huge.

If Bosh really puts down the star shelf and accepts the current tactics that are clearly arranged for role players like Chen Mu who have obvious flaws on the offensive end, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Although in this way, Bosh's ball-holding frame skills are equivalent to being wasted in half, but if you can get countless vacant opportunities through tactical cooperation, why fight for every ball and grit your teeth to fight the world?

Off the court, Cheeks was also a little confused, and there was a little more awe in the eyes of Raptors coach Mitchell.

In fact, it was this season of success on both ends of the floor that saw Sam Mitchell, a tall former NBA forward, win his first Coach of the Year trophy in his coaching career.

Noticing Chen Mu and Cheeks' gaze, Mitchell smiled easily, leaned back with his tall body, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said with a secret smile in his heart:

"Cheeks, Chinese boy, now see what other tricks you have to escape...... you can escape!" (To be continued.) )
