"Huh!"

Hit a three-pointer, the bewitching swingman Gabayosa nodded slightly, and returned to the defense with an indifferent look, and on the way he high-fived Bosh who sent the pass, and he was angry in his heart.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Raptors' adjustment was extremely successful, and on the offensive end, they broke down the 76ers' not very solid defense and successfully overtook the score.

On the scoreboard, the Raptors have a five-point lead at 82-77, and the situation is very good.

"No......!"

In the stands, the fans were a little silent, and they all showed a look of frustration. Many people couldn't shout, and the Wajovia Center Arena was silent.

"Their coach is too poisonous, he actually uses our tactics to attack, although the Chinese kid's single defense has evolved a lot, but there are still big loopholes in the ability to assist and follow the defense."

Some senior fans saw the clues, shook their heads and said: "It's troublesome, they catch this point and chase and beat it, you can't prevent it at all!" ”

In the second half, Nesterovic was almost frozen and did not play again after the official timeout in the third quarter.

With the power to carry the ball with his back, Gabajosa's individual abilities were fully developed.

Webb scored with the ball, hit the ball in the middle of the catch, walked through Yang in 100 steps outside the three-point line, and sent the ball empty.

Gabajosa can do almost anything, and his performance on the pitch reminded Chen Mu of the Turkish star Turkoglu who will shine in a few years' time.

In terms of individual ability and physical fitness, Gabajosa is not a star. But in terms of basketball IQ, this 29-year-old "old" rookie who only joined the NBA can teach most of the players on both teams to behave.

Iguodala shot the iron, the Raptors grabbed the rebound to organize the offense, Gabajosa took the ball at the waist again, and the emotions of all the players of the 76ers instantly became tense.

Will you share the ball? Or will it be singles? Or do you work with Bosh on the weak side and look for opportunities to cut outside?

Gabajosa's role on the court is very similar to Chen Mu's role in the 76ers this season, and Bosh's running and offensive options are basically the same as Chen Mu's positioning last season.

The presence of two players with superior basketball IQ and the calm and rational cooperation of not seeking data made the 76ers players feel for the first time how angry and helpless their opponents were when they saw Chen Mu.

"It's just two Chinese boys on the field to cooperate, and it's a long-range version!"

Gabajosa scanned his eyes for a passing opportunity, and behind him, Webb was out of breath and had already reached the limit of his strength.

Sensing Webb's weakness, Gabajosa moved the basketball in his hand, and a pass feint caused Webb to move half a step in the direction where Bosh was, and then wiped his back around the baseline to the basket.

"I'll make up for it!"

Chen Mu knew that at this time, Gabajosa had no passing route, and only had the option of attacking the basket, so he decisively let go of Bosh to come to the bag, and stopped at the bottom line to block the basket tightly.

Gabajosa turned around and raised the ball up with his left hand, and Chen Mu jumped up almost reflexively to try to block.

Worst!

The moment he jumped, Chen Mu regretted it.

I saw Gabajosa suddenly collect the ball, with a look of successful trickery on his face, quickly turned back to the middle, and made a hook movement with his left hand, seeing that he was about to shoot.

"Chris, jump!!"

Cheeks froze, slamming his feet on the floor and shouting.

Weber, however, has long since lost his strength.

"Huh"

The basketball hit the basket lightly, and Gabajosa returned to the defense with an arrogant face, leaving Webb standing in the restricted area gasping for breath, unable to take a step at all.

"Pause! Time out!! ”

Cheeks hurriedly called a timeout and returned to the bench, where Webb almost fell to his seat and couldn't get up again.

"Chris, is it bad?"

In the face of Cheeks' questioning, Webber didn't even have the strength to answer, just waved his hand, panted heavily, pointed to his knees, and did not speak.

The 76ers players were all silent, knowing that in this game, Webber may not be able to continue to play.

The team doctor stepped forward, tied a thick ice pack to Webb's knee, kept massaging his muscles and joints, and asked questions from time to time to confirm Webb's condition.

"Chris has burned out."

Players, coaches, and fans are well aware that the veteran's decline this season is not just a statistical appearance.

The former king has also come to the curtain call.

At the age of 33, but with an 83-year-old knee, Webber's body has been weathered, and it is difficult for him to continue to fight in the professional arena.

The current problem has naturally become more intractable.

"If Steven is played, Gabajosa's back-to-back heads-up may be contained, but they will definitely start to play big outside tactics, and Steven's foot-disadvantage will be further magnified."

"And if you go on a rookie like Amondsson, the interior defense problem will not improve, but it will make the team passive on the offensive end."

Looking at the players on the bench, Cheeks was anxious and didn't know what to do for a while.

"Coach, let's play small ball."

Suddenly, Chen Mu, who was choked enough by the cooperation of Bosh and Gabajosa, and then was silent for a long time, spoke:

"I play the No. 5 position, Andre plays the No. 4 position, Kyle plays the No. 3 position, and the backcourt is impacted by Allen and Luiz, how is this lineup?"

"Balls ......?"

Cheeks was stunned when he heard this, thought about it carefully, and nodded: "It's a way, the backcourt dual point guards and their dual point guards are dead, the frontcourt has machine power and peripheral shooting, and the offense should not be a problem." ”

"But what about defense? If you go to the top 5, it means that Gabajosa will play against you, can you guard against his back-to-back singles? ”

Cheeks' concerns are not unreasonable, and from the preseason to the regular season, Chen Mu has indeed shown great improvement on the defensive end. But in the face of the veteran football oil Gabajosa, defensive concentration and physical fitness alone are not enough.

Chen Mu, can you take on this big responsibility?

"Ha, coach, have you forgotten?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Mu didn't have the slightest worry about this problem, and said with a hearty smile: "In the first half, I even defended Bosh for a while, and I was afraid of him Gabajosa?" ”

"This ......!"

When the players heard this, although the Chinese boy's words were a little arrogant, they were all telling the truth.

Yes, even an attacker of Bosh's level can't take Chen Mu, will he still be afraid of Gabajosa?

"André, do you have the confidence to follow Bosh?"

Chen Mu looked at Iguodala with a smile, and said half-excitedly: "He is a head taller than you!" ”

"Hey, you kid!"

Iguodala was happy when she heard it, and stretched out her hand to point at Chen Mu and said, "Are you looking down on me?" An old rookie, can you look down on me? What an underrated defense I am! ”

As he spoke, Iguodala stood up, walked to the front of Chen Mu, stretched out a hand and said, "Okay, in the next game, whoever defends the person who scores more points will practice two hundred more bench presses, and you can't pay in installments!" ”

"Haha, it's a deal!"

Chen Mu also stretched out his hand and high-fived Iguodala fiercely, the two like-minded young people were instantly full of fighting spirit, and when they looked at the Raptors bench, they almost crushed their teeth.

"Okay, then for now!"

Cheeks also decided to give the players enough trust and nodded: "Small ball, defense, quick counterattack!" Let's play the essence of Philadelphia basketball and show these 'foreigners' how good we are! ”

"Good!"

The players stood up and just wanted to gather together to shout slogans, but Webber grabbed Chen Mu.

"Chen."

Looking back at Weber, who was already exhausted, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel a trace of reluctance in his heart.

The proposal he just made was equivalent to directly announcing the final stage of this game, and Webb would not be able to play. Isn't it too cruel for a veteran to do this?

"Chris, I'm just ......"

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, Weber smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "I understand that the movement is developing, and history will always pass, I don't blame you for not letting me play." ”

"I just wanted to tell you that if I'm going to leave this season, you have to remember."

Weber said almost word for word: "You are the future backbone of Philadelphia......!" ”

After saying this, the two big men with very different nationalities, personalities, and playing styles looked at each other speechlessly. All that remains in my heart is the pride and perseverance that is unique to the declining interior players.

This moment is called inheritance.

“1、2、3、DEFENSE！”

Shouting the slogan, the 76ers entered with their heads held high, and when they were about to play, Chen Mu looked back at Webb, stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, then nodded slightly, and ran to the inside line without saying a word.

"You can rest in peace, with my basketball IQ, the backbone of Philadelphia will never fall!"

Weber was sure that what Chen Mu wanted to say must be this sentence.

The game continued.

Philadelphia's adjustment was successful, and Korver, who had been entangled by Calderon before, came to the No. 3 position, and faced Anthony Parker, who was a little slower, and the pressure was instantly relieved a lot.

After some running, Korver took advantage of Chen Mu's cover to the bottom corner of the strong side, and the smooth pass was in place instantly, and the catch was a three-point shot.

“BOOM！！！”

With the DJ shouting, Korver's three-pointer bombarded the basket with precision, 84-80, and Philadelphia only trailed by 4 points!

"Patience, patience!"

Calderón still controlled the ball, and after coming to the frontcourt, the basketball was once again in the hands of Gabajosa.

"Huh, a substitution?"

Feeling Chen Mu's defense behind him, Gabayosa smiled disdainfully, and said to himself: "A veteran who has been fighting for 13 years can't stop me, what's the use of changing a rookie who has been fighting for less than a year?" ”

As he spoke, Gabajosa suddenly turned around and made a step back, closing the ball with both hands and looking to shoot.

Chen Mu immediately stepped forward, raised his hands high, and sealed the shooting route tightly.

"Who's going to shoot? If you come to defend me, it means that Bosh's defender is Iguodala, this height gap, ** proper! ”

Gabajosa made a hand-to-hand pass, Bosh received the ball easily on the weak side, and immediately turned around and prepared to shoot.

"Smack!"

At the moment when Bosh turned around, a pair of fast lightning-like hands slapped down fiercely, and although it was slightly brought to the palm of his hand, he still cut the ball off.

"Aaron!"

Iguodala steals the ball from Bosh and immediately accelerates his dribble on the spot, behind which Bosh is still complaining to the referee about the beater, and Iverson has come to his sweet spot.

"Huh"

After receiving a pass from Iguodala, Iverson hit a shot, and the fans instantly burst into cheers.

"Be louder, you can't hear me!"

Iverson made the classic gesture of listening and cheering, which made the fans even more excited, and they got up from their seats and began to cheer for the home team.

84 to 82, the difference is only two points! (To be continued.) )
