Chapter 212: Team Cap

“…… In a high-profile battle yesterday, the Denver Nuggets took on the Philadelphia 76ers away and finally came home with a feather. Both sides did their best in the game and gave a very good game on the offensive end. In the end, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Nuggets by 124-123, 1 point at home, and got a hard-won victory. ”

A day later, Philadelphia.

After a grueling road trip and facing the challenge of their rival Denver Nuggets at home, the Philadelphia 76ers are currently very young, but such a high-intensity back-to-back game still puts a great physical burden on the boys.

After the game against the Nuggets, many players began to feel aches and pains in various places, and on the advice of the team doctor, Cheeks decided to give the players a day off to recuperate and prepare for the long schedule ahead.

"The most interesting focus of this game is, of course, the performance of several players against their old clubs by the two teams that have just made big trades. Among them, Allen Iverson, as the former son of Philadelphia, has attracted the attention of countless fans with his on-court performance. ”

Looking at the sports news broadcast on TV, Chen Mu is still reminiscing about last night's game, this long and incomparably long competition, in the end, has actually become a contest of willpower between the players of the two teams. Technique, physical fitness, and strength have all become secondary factors, and who can maintain a firm will in the ultra-high-intensity continuous and rapid attack and defense, and try to make the right choice, is the most important thing.

"Allen Iverson had an excellent game, almost single-handedly supporting the team's offense when the Nuggets' top scorer, Carmelo Anthony, was not feeling well. He shot 13-of-27 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free-throw line to a season-high 37 points, which once helped the Nuggets take a sizable lead. ”

On the screen, Iverson burst out and constantly scored goals with various means. Miller, whose defense is not too bad, has almost no way to face the court elves, and even Chen Mu and others, who are making up for the defense, cannot limit Iverson's hot hand, which has become the background of the revenge battle of the sons of Philadelphia in the past.

Carmelo Anthony exploded in the fourth quarter, scoring nine straight points to help his team take a double-digit lead. He shot 10-of-24 from the field and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, and his 28-point contribution was equally eye-catching. Especially at the critical moment, a three-plus-one performance shocked the audience and was impressive. ”

The screen began to play Anthony's three-plus-one performance, even through the TV screen, Chen Mu could still feel the shock. Korver's defensive moves are actually quite big. This time, he reached out to the side and pushed it, and if he ran into a strict referee, he might even blow for a physical foul. Anthony, whose body is completely twisted, can still complete ultra-difficult goals, and the individual strength of the future superstar can be seen.

The rest of Denver's players also played well, and Reggie Evans, who came off the bench, grabbed double-digit rebounds in a short period of time, and once pushed the 76ers into a desperate situation. Fortunately, the Chinese kid Chen Mu began to use his speed to maneuver with Evans, and used the unsolvable singles on the offensive end to resolve Evans' defense, and finally forced Nuggets coach George Karl to push Evans back to the bench and never returned to the court. ”

Remembering that Evans said that he was using the "dog walking" strategy, Chen Mu couldn't help laughing. I didn't feel it at the time, but now I can see from the high camera that I'm running around the pitch, always keeping a short distance from Evans. Evans was in hot pursuit. But the distance never shortened or increased, and it did look like he was walking Evans around with an invisible leash in his hand.

"The young players of the Philadelphia 76ers have shown great fighting spirit and are falling behind on the team. Launch a Jedi counterattack with little time left. Andre Iguodala continued to run throughout the game, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Andre Miller became the anchor of the Young Guards, with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. The hand-to-hand layups at key moments were spectacular. ”

The real winners of Philadelphia were the Chinese kid Chen Mu and the sharpshooter Korver. The Chinese kid won the double 20 and his performance was amazing, and the foul at the last moment was even more amazing. Faced with two free throw opportunities, the latter penalty was deliberately deflected, which was even more a stroke of genius. ”

"And Kyle Cornwall ushered in a big explosion in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter when chasing points, shooting 6 of 11 from outside the three-point line, almost missing a shot at the critical moment, scoring 23 points in the whole game, showing the true character of super outside artillery......"

The next news Chen Mu didn't want to watch anymore, reached out to turn off the TV, got up and stretched, and almost dragged his steps to the computer.

After the game, the team participated in a press conference, and the jubilant Cheeks praised the players, and Chen Mu and Miller answered questions from reporters as the players' representatives. The 7-3 performance since the start of the season has made local fans happy, and many reporters have also expressed congratulations.

Only Jesner, a veteran reporter of the "Philadelphia Daily News", was unhappy, and the first question he asked made the faces of the players who were still immersed in the joy of victory sink.

"Since the start of the season, we have won the title of No. 1 in the Atlantic Zone, have the team management expressed their dissatisfaction to you?"

Gersner's question sounds strange, the team has a good record, so why should the management express its displeasure?

But anyone who pays attention to the 76ers' movements this season will be able to react immediately:

The meaning of Gersner's words naturally means that the current lineup is not bad, and the team management should have been in a hurry!

Hearing Gersner's question, before Chen Mu could answer, Cheeks stepped forward with an unhappy face, took the microphone, and opened his mouth with insinuations.

After so many years in the basketball circle, how could Cheeks not know what Jackner meant? A few words were out of grace, and in anger, he even scolded Gersner and the team management without swearing, and then angrily dropped the microphone and left the press conference with the players.

Early this morning, when Chen Mu got the latest "Philadelphia Daily News" from the newspaper box, it was not surprising that the content of Gersener's stinky and long opinion article on the sports page was not surprising.

"Jackner's Column Commentary: No Distinction Between Importance and Importance -- The 76ers' Collective Confusion from Coach to Player"

This title doesn't seem to be much, but Chen Mu is about to laugh out of anger when he reads it.

This Jeffersner, in a seemingly fair tone, described the current situation of the Philadelphia 76ers this season, citing a lot of historical facts of the league, using the example of various teams unwilling to compromise their records, ultimately missing out on talented rookies, and slumping for several years, alluding to the 76ers from top to bottom as "impulsives with a bad mind".

Chen Mu had long been aware of the fact that Gersner and Billikin wore the same pair of pants, but using his status as a senior media person to write an obviously unfair commentary article with this kind of Piri Yangqiu's spring and autumn penmanship, this behavior still made Chen Mu quite disdainful.

"I hope this argument is not accepted by too many fans......!"

CHEN MU CAN ONLY HOPE THAT MOST PHILADELPHIA FANS STILL DISAGREE WITH GERSNER'S OPINION IN THE DISCUSSION AREA OF THE PHILADELPHIA LOCAL FAN FORUMS, INCLUDING REDDIT, A FAMOUS FAN FORUM THAT HAS BECOME FAMOUS SINCE 2005.

"If Gersner's article had been written before the season began, and Allen's trade had been made before the season began, maybe I would have believed his claims and supported the team's mess." One fan wrote: "But look at the present, is our squad really bad? Chinese kids, Andre, Kyle, aren't they doing a great job?? There's no need to be so pessimistic just yet! ”

"Looking at the bench now, it's much better than we expected, especially Rodney, who has adapted quickly to the professional league and played well next to the Chinese kid. We are not weak at all, and there is no need to make a bad behavior with no lower limit for the sake of one or two so-called cross-era rookies! ”

The fan's opinion was supported by many fans and was quickly pushed to the front page of the forum. Seeing the fans' reaction like this, Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and was very relieved.

If it is said that the confrontation with the management is because you don't want to lose, you don't want to lose, and you can't accept the deliberate loss, so you make a defiant move. So if the fans start to agree with this point of view, and even form a certain trend, no matter how unwilling the 76ers players are to lose, they can't ignore the fans who support them, right?

As a professional footballer, survival depends on the support and encouragement of the fans. If you don't even listen to the voices of the fans, then it's not called blood, but a hot head, and you can't figure it out.

At the moment, at least the fans have not been fooled by Gersner's fallacy, so that Chen Mu will have a lot less pressure on them, and they will be more confident if they continue to work hard to win.

"By the way, I don't know what the reaction will be on the 'sawdust' side."

Thinking of his personal website, Chen Muyi thought that it seemed that he had not logged in for a long time, and the website had long been forgotten. Find the website from the favorites and open it, browse it on the home page, and the content is a lot richer, whether it is pictures, videos, or articles, there are many more than before.

It seems that his performance in the NBA is still seen by the fans in his hometown, and his popularity has also risen!

Chen Mu was very happy in his heart, he felt that his efforts were not in vain, and he watched it roughly, most of them were video comments on the game, of course, there was also relevant news about Chen Mu's signing of JORDANTEAM, and even fans began to organize future group buying, and as soon as NIKE launched Chen Mu's signature shoes, he immediately organized a group to buy.

"Hmm......? Fee bruising? ”

On the homepage, there is a post highlighted in the hot post section of the forum, and the poster is naturally an old acquaintance Fei Bruising. Chen Mu was still very interested in this person, and just wanted to click on the post to see what it was, but when he glanced at the title, he frowned again.
