Hot Arizona, Phoenix.

After a wonderful halftime show in the West Jersey Arena, the second half of the 2005-2006 NBA regular season season when the Suns played at home against the Nets was about to begin.

The players from both sides returned to the pitch and received warm applause from the fans as soon as they appeared.

“LET’SGOSUNS！ LET’SGOSUNS！ ”

The fans chanted in unison for the Suns, and on the commentator's bench, Barkley and Kenny Smith ended their amusement and refocused their attention on the court.

"Well, I'll take a look...... Kenny Smith took two pieces of paper from the staff, read them cursory, and then said, "The second half is about to start, and I have the starting line-ups for the second half of both sides." ”

"Now it seems that the starting lineups of the two sides in the second half have not changed much, and the visiting Nets are still led by the backcourt three-headed monster, and the interior is Clifford Robinson and Kostic."

"Hehe, two Bailies~" Barkley laughed teasingly: "It's still a combination of chocolate and cream, which suits my taste." ”

"If you play, you'll be able to eat them alive." Kenny Smith knew that Barkley wanted to brag about himself again, so he simply smiled in advance: "After all, your body is already the same as Swiss meatballs, haha~"

"Okay, let's look at the Suns' starting lineup for the second half." Ignoring Barkley's disgruntled complaints, Kenny Smith turned to another piece of paper and continued: "Nothing has changed, Nash is partnered with Bale in the back, and Dior and Marion are on the front. Well, if you move Dior to the fourth position, then the fifth position is...... Well?!! ”

Halfway through the reading, Kenny Smith seemed to have been hit by an electric current, and he was instantly stunned, staring at the list in his hand several times hesitantly, and after repeatedly confirming with the staff that there was no mistake, he said in an unbelievable voice: "The starting center of the Suns in the second half is ...... Old! ”

"What do you say?!!"

Barkley, who was munching on Baillith, was so surprised that he almost fell off his chair when he heard this.

"Let that Chinese kid start?? Is D'Antoni crazy??? ”

In the first half, although everyone had seen Chen Mu's unparalleled rebounding ability, it was not difficult to see that Chen Mu's offensive skills were very rough.

The Suns' style of play is a fast whirlwind, with MVP point guard Nash as the core for fast offense and defense, seizing every opportunity to break fast, and the overall tactics are very gorgeous.

Among them, the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Stoudemire is the most eye-catching, and last season, Nash won the assist king by virtue of his blocking and pick-and-roll with Xiaosi. And Xiao Si also ushered in the peak performance of his career.

"D'Antoni's offensive tactics require a lot of mobility from interior players, especially on the offensive end, which requires interior players to have impact and enough skills to put the basketball into the basket."

Barkley rarely became serious, showing the professionalism of his professional players, and analyzed: "This Chinese boy, although it seems that he is passable in terms of mobility, it is not difficult to see from the limited playing time in the first half that the offensive skills are extremely poor. ”

"Although Nash has the ability to turn decay into magic, but bring this Chinese kid? I doubt it! ”

Barkley's words are also a portrayal of the thoughts in the hearts of most fans.

Why did D'Antoni, a widely regarded master of attacking tactics, put on a player who was almost completely non-offensive in such a scorching game?

Suns, what are they having?

"Beep"

In the confusion of everyone, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the second half, the Nets kicked off, and the game continued!

Kidd dribbled the ball, and it was impossible to tell from the outside what was going on in the heart of this icy point guard.

However, at this time, Kidd, who has always been known for controlling the situation on the court, was also in a trance, and he had a faint sense of foreboding in the face of the starting lineup put forward by the Suns.

"What is the purpose of Chen's play? Protecting rebounds? It can't be that simple. ”

Kidd dribbled the ball and directed his teammates to run, his mind was flying, constantly guessing the Suns' tactical thinking.

"Even if Chen's rebounds are a lot, after all, he is just a rookie, and his strength is not enough, and his card position is not smart enough. When I made him foul a defensive foul just now, I had already reached the limit of his power. Not to mention grabbing all the rebounds, even if I go to rush and grab them, I can pick up a few rebounds on his head! ”

As one of the most rebounding point guards in history, Kidd does have such confidence, you know, his career record of 100 triple-doubles is not for nothing. In terms of rebounding skills, at least half of the league's starting centers are below him.

"Could it be that this Chen has any other skills besides rebounding?"

“JK！”

On the side of the court, Carter had already run out of the space and was opening his hand to ask for the ball, Kidd did not hesitate, and immediately shook his right hand and sent the ball over quickly.

"VC, breakthrough!"

Kidd shouted, Carter understood, and after receiving the ball, he turned around and brushed past the defending Bale, striding towards the inside.

"Could it be that this Chen has the ability to protect the basket with one hand? Vince, you go try him! ”

Kidd had already thought of a tactical routine in his mind, watching Carter rush all the way into the interior line, but his eyes were paying attention to Chen Mu's movements at the same time.

Carter had already come to the paint area, and along the way, the Suns' weak defense couldn't stop the demigods at all, only to see Carter step down and the whole person flew up.

Carter was like a flying dragon in the sky, jumping high in an instant, lifting the basketball high above his head with one hand and smashing it into the basket.

"Hmm......? Chen didn't come to make up for ......! ”

Everyone was paying attention to Carter's dunk, but Kidd noticed Chen Mu's movements:

I saw that Chen Mu was still stuck in the thin Kostic who was only left with bones, and he didn't mean to make up for it, but watched Carter fly and dunk.

"Bang!"

Re-deduct the score!

“…… Wow!!! ”

The demigod made a heavy dunk and made the iconic shark action after landing, and the Suns fans in the audience were completely shocked by the ball. Everyone knows that this goal is bound to enter the top ten goals of the week, and the other players on the field are all in the background of the poster.

"Run!"

Carter had just landed here, the Suns had already served quickly, and Nash dribbled all the way by leaps and bounds, quickly advancing to the frontcourt.

While defending Nash, Kidd was still paying attention to Chen Mu's movements, but he didn't have the slightest intention of participating in the fast attack, and was still slowly running to the front court, seemingly indifferent to the offense.

"What the hell does this mean......?"

Kidd was puzzled, and in a daze, Nash had already brushed past him, flashed half of his body, and then sent a ground-hitting pass to the outside.

Outside the three-point line, Dio received the ball, and Cliffor, who defended him, was slow and could not catch up, and Dio's eyes were open.

"Three points!"

Dio hit a stretched three-pointer, but as soon as the ball left his finger, his brow furrowed.

“DAMN……！ The strength is great again! ”

Dior's long-range shot was ineffective, and the ball could not be adjusted well, and he knew that it would not go in.

A chance to fight back!

Kidd also saw that there was a problem with the ball and immediately rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound and immediately push the counterattack.

Not far away from the wings, Carter and Jefferson were ready to run to the frontcourt, and the three-headed monster that the Nets relied on to become famous for was about to launch!

However, at this time, all the Suns players were not ready to return to defense, but all waited in the front court. Among them, Marion and Dior, two players with good rebounding ability, looked back at Chen Mu directly, as if waiting for him to give orders.

"Oh, the iron?"

An offense was about to end, Chen Mucai moved his steps and came to the front court lazily, glanced at the basket, and then quickly glanced at the half, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Half a step inward in the three-second zone on the left, the bottom line is parallel!" ”

"Hey~"

This sentence made everyone stunned, and they didn't understand what kind of medicine Chen Mu was selling in the gourd. But on the side of the court, Marion smiled as if he understood, then moved his legs and quickly rushed to the left three-second zone.

"Kick!"

Marion was like a train, rushing to the position quickly, and then stepped down, the whole person jumped high, and a pair of long arms were already waiting in the air, as if he was sure that the rebound would definitely fall into his hands.

"Dang!"

Dior's three points really didn't score, smashed on the left side of the basket, and a rebound fell quickly, and it was really firmly grasped by Marion!

Grabbing the rebound, Marion turned around and threw the basketball to Nash in a chic manner, and gave Chen Mu a thumbs up while running.

"This ......?!!!"

Now Kidd was completely dumbfounded, this Oriental kid came to the field, the reason why he didn't participate in the offense, and advanced so slowly, the original purpose was this!

"Organize again, steady!"

Nash also looked calm, as if he was not surprised by Chen Mu's magical command, while dribbling while observing the direction of his teammates, he suddenly made a straight plug and gave the ball to Bell, who cut in the air.

Bell catches the ball and throws a shot, but that's not his forte, and the basketball still smashes into the basket and doesn't make it into the frame.

"Dang!"

"Two steps inside the free throw line, high rebounding!"

Chen Mu had already come to the three-point line, but he still had no intention of participating in the offense, but opened his mouth to continue to "command".

"I'm coming!"

Dio had already come to the free throw line, heard Chen Mu's instructions, and immediately took two steps forward, and then raised his hands and easily got the frontcourt rebound again.

“…… Oooh oh!! ”

The continuous offensive rebounds made the fans on the scene boil instantly. If there's anything more morale-boosting on the court than dunks and three-pointers, it's constantly grabbing rebounds in the front court!

"This, this Chinese kid...... It's simply the Suns' rebounding commander! ”

On the commentary bench, Barkley was dumbfounded, looking at Chen Mu with a commanding look, if the rebound was close to him, he would grab it himself. And if the ball is far away from you, remind your teammates of the location of the rebound as soon as possible. The Suns began to harvest frontcourt rebounds on a large scale, and the quick counterattack that the Nets relied on to survive couldn't play once!

"Tsk." Kenny Smith also shook his head slightly, a little excited: "I see! The offensive commander of the Suns is MVP Nash, and the rebounding commander is the Chinese player - Chen! ”
