Philadelphia, the city of the free, the city of the undead.

The history of this city is beyond the weight of a city on its own. Everyone in Philadelphia knows exactly what they're shouldering.

The Philadelphia 76ers brought that spirit to the court.

Maybe we're not the best team, maybe every position we have had our own problems. Maybe our hard power can't reach the level presented by the regular season record, and maybe except for Chen Mu, the rest of us can't be on our own.

But we will never die.

"The third quarter of the game is on! First the ball for the Celtics! ”

At the beginning of the third quarter, the storm in the opening stage of the first half naturally could not be sustained throughout the game. In fact, in the middle and late stages of the first quarter, Philadelphia could not continue to maintain that terrible defensive intensity, and began to defend in a measured manner, retaining a trace of their physical strength and hole cards.

But the momentum of Philadelphia in the opening game, which doesn't care about anything and wants to fight you to the end, has taken root in the hearts of the Celtics players. In the following games, the old and spicy Celtics began to find their rhythm and feeling, and played much better on the offensive end, maintaining the difference between 10 and 15 points.

On the Philadelphia side, they still maintain a short-term rotation, starting high-intensity defense, starting with the bench (Chen Mu and Iguodala with the bench) to play defensive counterattacks at a faster pace, and the full bench is open and full of offensive frenzy, allowing Evans and Jordan Jr. to grab rebounds in the frontcourt.

Under this strategy, the atmosphere on the court can no longer be described as suffocation, and almost every time the dead ball is replaced, Philadelphia will burst out with different sparks. The Celtics were like being scorched and cooled by the two heavens of ice and fire, and Reeves was dizzy.

Thankfully, the experience of the championship-level coach is still there, and Reeves has been a little slower in his response, which is the opening one. After that, there were basically no faint moves, and I could keep up with the rhythm.

This situation makes the game not so good when the stars shine in the starters of both sides, almost all of them are mechanical rotations, gears bite the general iron-blooded defense, and every score is to survive in the gap.

However, when both sides sent all the substitutes, the two teams played a wonderful offensive performance. Iverson took Carney and Korver to play the world, and a group of old balls on the other side played every ball solidly and spicy, and they also took advantage of a lot.

Gradually, the tug-of-war situation was maintained, and the Celtic triumvirate slowly found its sense and broke out one after another.

After switching back to the main force in the second quarter, Ray Allen was the first to break the game. In fact, among the Big Three, the one most likely to break out is this historical three-point king.

Ray Allen's sudden strong shooting ability, ability to find opportunities, running ability, accuracy, and ability to maintain a hot hand are all at the top level in history. In three consecutive rounds, the Celtics couldn't find their rhythm on the offensive end, and after passing the ball indiscriminately, they gave it to Ray Allen, and this cold-blooded killer scored fiercely.

A three-pointer, a mid-range emergency stop on the top of Curry's head rainbow into the frame, a basket under the air cut to catch the ball, forced a layup to make a foul and hit two free throws. Ray Allen, who scored seven points in a row, propped up the Celtics' offense and bit the difference.

After that, Pierce also found his rhythm, and Iguodala's defense has improved a little bit compared to the previous year, especially in terms of defensive experience and entanglement and cutting skills, which have reached the level of a real league first-line gate. Pierce was once a little caught off guard by this change, making frequent mistakes and constantly striking iron.

But FMVP's strength is no joke, after Ray Allen's flames are gradually extinguished, after being heavily defended by Philadelphia. Pierce Individual Singles Open:

Forced a shot in the step back sign on the side of the air, a three-step slow rhythm layup under the basket and a two-plus-one, a three-point feint in the bottom corner and a step forward, the basketball almost grazed Iguodala's blocking fingertips and flew to the basket and slammed into the net.

The Celtics, who also scored seven points in a row and had two shining stars on the outside, once forced the difference to 3 points.

After that, Chen Mu and Iguodala started to connect and each other sent a wonderful air cut pass to score. After that, they teamed up to block on the defensive end, blocking one steal once, and urging quick counterattacks twice, Lowry and Curry benefited, and two layups were successful.

Four offensive and defensive performances by the identical twin dogs added eight points to Philadelphia, and the difference was once again stretched to more than 10 points, and the halftime was over.

Later, when the Celtics were crumbling, Garnett, the former MVP who was fattened by Chen Mu on the ground in the first half, finally came back.

“KG！”

Passing the ball from the outside, Rondo and Ray Allen crossed to the top of the arc for a straight stopper, Garnett jumped with his back to Chen Mu to catch the ball, and after landing, he turned around and took a tentative step.

Chen Mu took a small half step back and raised one hand forward to seal Garnett's shooting vision.

At this time, with Garnett's selfless style of play, he will definitely choose to pass ......

“…… Swish! ”

Throw from the back and hit!

“FXXKING-YEEEEEES！！！”

Garnett was full of trash talk, and his saliva was about to spray on Chen Mu's face. However, the rhythm of this ball is really beautiful, not to mention Chen Mu, even if Russell comes to defend, it is impossible to interfere with this perfectly calculated shot timing.

To enter or not to enter, it all depends on the feel.

How does Garnett's feel ......?

In the next round, the answer will be revealed.

"Sink to the bottom and line up!!"

Lowry controlled the ball, Philadelphia attacked, the other players sank to the bottom and lined up, and Chen Mu's position was slightly forward.

This is Chen Mu's starting style in singles.

Pass!

Lowry sent a pass for the first time, and after Chen Mu received the ball, he turned his back and leaned back, walked the baseline and hit the basket.

Garnett gritted his teeth and moved sideways, his long legs pressed the route, biting Chen Mu's steps to death, not giving him a chance at all.

So......

"Bang!"

Once dribbling, Chen Mu turned around and then moved his left foot forward a little, and then quickly retracted.

Garnett conceded half a step and blocked forward with one hand.

Chen Mu, leaning back and throwing in the middle.

…… Middle!

“…… Good ball!! ”

Vajovia cheered thunderously, and some of the old fans felt a little strange while cheering.

Chen Mu's offensive action just now was almost exactly the same as Garnett's offensive choice in the last round.

This...... Could it be a coincidence?

"Keep playing KG!!"

Reeves' shouts came, and the Celtics knew that the game had entered the moment when Garnett and Chen Mu went head-to-head. As the pillar of the team, Garnett must not be cowardly at this time, and after coming to the front court, he blocked at the top of the arc, and immediately received the ball after dismantling.

Face frame!

Garnett's rim prowess is no joke, and his guard-level passing skills, combined with his shooting touch and top-notch movement speed on the inside, give him a dynamic advantage against almost any interior player.

"Pull off on both sides!!"

Rondo shouted, and Ray Allen and Pierce quickly pulled away on both sides, taking Curry and Iguodala with him. In the middle of the court, it was completely left to Garnett and Chen Mu.

Dribbling with his left hand, Garnett stared at Chen Mu's footsteps with both eyes, shook his shoulder, handed the ball to his right hand, and broke through to the right after changing his body in front of him.

Chen Mu learned smartly this time, and followed the route, but he didn't let go of too much distance. Even if Garnett had to make a sudden mid-range shot, the difficulty was no joke.

Garnett took a half-step forward, pulled the ball back with his right hand, and turned sharply with his left foot as a tornado towards the other side of the basket.

Want to hook your hands?

Garnett rarely hooked his hand, Chen Mu knew it, but this time Garnett's action, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he wants to hook his hand. Is it because Chen Mu's defense is so good that the wolf king has to use the defense he is not good at to attack?

Wrong.

When he moved horizontally into place, Garnett turned to the frame and lifted the ball high with one hand, Chen Mu understood.

Garnett definitely wasn't trying to hook his hands.

Rather, it is necessary to ......

"Bang!"

Smash the buckle from the other!

“…… Wow! ”

The Celtics bench was thrilled by the ball, and Rasheed Wallace jumped straight from his seat, his hands outstretched to stop his teammate, his eyes glaring as if he had just received a technical foul.

on the field.

“…… Roar - !! ”

Howling Wolf !!

"The feeling of KG is coming!"

Barkley really sees that Garnett is completely back to the invincible era of the Timberwolves' arrogant wolf. This attack was not dragged at all, and the action was simply explosive, pressing Chen Mudu to the ground and unable to jump.

So how will Chen Mu's character respond?

"Put, ball, give, me!!"

With a classic shout, Chen Mufeng rushed to the front court like a wind, and received a pass from Lowry during the march.

The younger brothers knew very well in their hearts, and quickly opened the middle lane and completely handed over the stage to Chen Mu.

Call back!

How you hit me, I'll fight back!!

Dribbling with his left hand, making exactly the same movements, Garnett's wolf-like agility turned into a torrent of beasts on Chen Mu's body. Every time a basketball hits the floor, the sound it makes knocks the arena over.

The body changed direction in front of him, and Garnett had already guessed what Chen Mu was going to do. But Chen Mu's movement speed was fast enough, and his determination was far more ruthless than the wolf king imagined, a little slower, Chen Mu had already kicked back with his right foot, and the tornado turned around.

No, it's a hurricane.

"Whew...... Bang! ”

Exactly the same moves, exactly the same offensive options, the difference is that people all over the world know what Chen Mu is going to do, and Garnett also knows very well that the defense is actually in place.

However, it didn't work.

Chen Mu, who was like a tyrant, smashed the ball into the basket above Garnett's head with both hands, and the impact of the beast was fully displayed, shaking Garnett's whole person back again and again.

"This, this, this, this ......!!"

Griffin also boasts that he is also a super master of dunking, not to mention compared with Carter Jordan, in the interior, he has always felt that his dunk is the most brutal.

But Chen Mu's dunk just now was not just brutal, it was simply unreasonable.

Where would anyone insist on forcing a dunk when their offensive moves were completely recognized by the opponent?

It's a success?!!

“…… Roar!!! ”

A roar that was even more violent than Garnett resounded, and Chen Mu slammed his fists into his chest, looking up to the sky and roaring angrily.

The oracle of the tyrant spread all over the world, and Garnett could still hold on and continue to fight.

But the sword in the hands of the tyrant can no longer stop killing. (To be continued.) )
