"Kenny, that's weird."

"What's wrong?"

"How do I think every time we broadcast a Philadelphia 76ers game live in the United States, it seems like the opponent is the Suns??"

"Nonsense, wasn't the Philadelphia vs. Nuggets game last season also broadcast live in the United States?"

"Oh, yes ...... too"

The familiar Meixi Arena, the moment he stepped into this arena, Chen Mu's eyes could not help but appear in front of him running wildly behind Nash and getting the first point of his career.

"Air relay, if I'm not mistaken, the first point the Chinese kid scored in the NBA was an air relay!"

Barkley's head melon is still good, and without reading the information, he remembered the details of the beginning stage of Chen Mu's career.

"It's a pass from Steve during the fast break." Kenny Smith added.

"Ha, Steve, it looks like we have a good chance of winning the assist crown again this season! If he can win another assist king, his resume will be very good-looking. ”

"That's right, the Phoenix Suns have played 12 games so far in the new season and are on a winning streak. The team averaged 114 points per game, the first in the league, and no one else could beat it. ”

Kenny Smith flipped through the materials prepared by the pre-game staff and began the routine pre-game introduction.

Team Strength Comparison, Player Strength Comparison, Strength Comparison in Each Position, Key to Winning the Game, Key Players, X Factor...... And so on and so forth, in fact, these contents don't need to be prepared by the TV station, even if you find a senior fan and give him enough time to screen and prepare, you can tell the truth.

But the pre-match introduction of this game is a little different, after all, both teams have undergone a blood change, and the doorway still needs to be analyzed by professionals to see what it is.

114 points per game, although not necessarily able to sustain the entire season. But in the current league statistics, the Suns are averaging points per game, leaving the second-place Warriors by a full 3 points.

In addition, in terms of rebounding, the Suns are also the first in the league, and the inside of the small and Howard teamed up, averaging more than 20 rebounds per game, and when the two joined forces, their dominance over rebounding ranked second in the league.

The league's No. 1 rebounding interior combination? Philadelphia 76ers, Chen Mu, Evans.

The Suns this season. Still focusing on the fast-break whirlwind, although Howard is an interior heavy weapon, he is also a power forward, and his speed is absolutely top-notch in the interior, and it is not a problem to keep up with the offensive speed of the Suns.

However, compared to previous seasons, the Suns have changed a lot. Due to the collective departure of the group of outside shooters, the Suns' outside three-point shots, shooting percentage, and shooting percentage this season will decline sharply in the opinion of many experts, and many predictions are in progress. It is believed that the Suns will rank outside the top 20 in the league in three-point efficiency.

But Steve Nash, the super alchemist who turns stones into gold, continues to surprise people.

"I lost some of the outside crosshairs, but I got the inside super combination. With the inside as a containment, the probability of three-point shots from the outside has increased significantly, and the shooting rate has increased instead of falling, which is the mystery of Phoenix basketball. ”

Kenny Smith commented after reporting the data. It basically explains the mystery of the Suns' ability to shoot the league's No. 1 three-point shooting rate of 39.3%.

The departures of James Jones, Jamaine Jones, and Jalen Rose are undoubtedly a weakening of the Suns' perimeter. But so what? There's a combination of Sga Howard Jr. on the inside, and anyone who gets the ball finds the feeling of scoring continuously. can attract each other's bag clips.

Maybe Xiao Si and Howard's individual ball distribution skills are not comprehensive and accurate enough, but don't forget, there is a league-wide assist king standing on the outside! Once or twice to transfer the ball, the open three-point opportunity is not handy?

"The scoring efficiency has further climbed, the originally weak defensive efficiency has improved, the blocks, steals and other statistics are at the top, and the opponent has also made great progress in limiting the opponent's scoring. The Phoenix Suns, at least so far in the season, are truly the number one team in the West! ”

Wrapping up his summary of the Suns, Kenny Smith talked about Philadelphia again, which is relatively simple in comparison, a team that is strong in defense and weak in offense, but likes to play fast break. The squad structure is young and energetic, and there are no fewer birds and animals than the sun. The start of the season was easy, coupled with the lineup bonus, and won ten consecutive wins, temporarily ranking first in the East.

According to the predictions of most experts, after this wave of dividends, the 76ers' performance will decline quickly after encountering strong teams such as the Suns and Lakers in a row. If you don't consider the luck factor, if you only analyze it from the perspective of strength, the real strength of Philadelphia is about seventh in the East.

This prediction is already quite a face-saving prediction, although the record is even stronger than last season, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Philadelphia has now lost Andre Miller, who is also a quasi-All-Star level, and no matter how good Lowry performs, he is just a sophomore rookie, and it will take time to test what level of player he can become.

Philadelphia's biggest problem at the moment is that there are no attackers, and second, there are still too few three-point points from the outside.

"If you take a closer look at Philadelphia's roster, you'll find a very interesting thing~" DURING SMITH'S ENDLESS BLABLABLA, BARKLEY SUDDENLY INTERRUPTED: "KENNY, DID YOU FIND OUT?" ”

"Hmm...... Are they all young? Smith gave a perfunctory look.

"You can see it with your nostrils, do you need to look closely? You retarded! Barkley scolded a few times angrily, and then said: "Andre Iguodala, with amazing physical talent and all-round skills, was once expected to be a Pippen-level player. The result has never met people's expectations, and many people see it as one of the guys who wasted their talents. ”

Kyle Lowry, who played a wonderful all-around performance in the ninth game of his rookie season, was directly reimbursed for the season due to an injury, and was full of ambition to make a comeback in the new season, but the parent team selected McConley with a high pick, and it was clear that he was not ready to develop him at all. In the end, he was packed with Milicic and came to Philadelphia in despair. ”

"Needless to say, Milicic, the packing man, is one of the biggest tragedies of the NBA's high-level show, and Balzac's Miserables is written about him."

"Les Misérables is Hugo's work." Kenny Smith interjected nonchalantly.

"Is there a difference?" Barkley cheekily continued: "Kyle Korver, sharpshooter, NCAA super scoring machine, but has been criticized for being soft in key moments since college, and has only proven himself for a few minutes against the Nuggets last season. ”

"Rodney Carney, before he entered the NBA, lost his high school genius in the NCAA. Louis Williams, a super gun who averaged 32 points per game in high school, participated in the draft but almost lost because he was too short and his defense was too poor. Reggie Evans, a guy who is good for nothing but rebounding and defensive entanglement, has a lot of trouble off the court. ”

"Do you have more?" Kenny Smith complained.

"Shut up and be careful that I beat you politely." Barkley threatened: "In addition, there is Samuel, who was ignored by coaches in college, Willy Green, who was deemed incapable of dealing with NBA-level physical confrontation by scouts, and Thaddeus Young, who was considered to have the potential to fight with Kevin Durant before entering college, but played a messy or even ineffective after entering college......"

After a lot of talking, Barkley let out a sigh of relief, picked up the water glass on the table and poured it violently, turned around and habitually wiped his mouth with Smith's suit, and said: "Finally, the team's current core player, the Chinese kid Chen, who claims to be in the league this season, was undrafted at the time, no one cared about him, and he was even cut by the Suns, and he had no ball to play for a while. ”

"Kenny, think about it, what kind of team this 76ers team is made up of, and then look at their record at the beginning of the season, and re-evaluate what the 76ers players have done!"

Kenny Smith was stunned when he heard this, and when he thought about it carefully, almost all the players of the Philadelphia 76ers were guys who had experienced such and such frustrations at various stages and periods of life, and even almost collapsed.

They have all been abandoned by coaches, teammates, fans, and even the basketball itself, and if they were even a little more vulnerable, they might have left the basketball court and never touched the orange basketball again.

But they survived.

Perhaps, Milicic and others have not fully survived, including Chen Mu and others, and they have not really proved that they have irreplaceable value. But

They're still standing on the basketball court after all, aren't they?

"You mean......" Smith looked at Barkley.

"I mean, ladies and gentlemen." Barkley's fat head leaned forward, the corners of his mouth drew a cruel arc down, and he said word by word: "The Philadelphia 76ers are the Avengers in the basketball world." ”

“WOOOOW！”

Inside the stadium, the fans began to cheer, the Suns home team players have completed the entrance ceremony, Steve Nash, Rajabel, Grant Hill, Stoudemire, Dwight Howard formed a super five-star lineup to make the female fans wet just by looking at the crotch.

On the other side, the Philadelphia 76ers received very little applause, except for the two fronts, no matter which position they occupied, the Suns had a big advantage. And what about the first place in the East? It's just a fluke.

"Look at the Suns, they are super geniuses who have been favored by God, born with a golden soup spoon in their mouths, who are handsome and flexible, and can learn everything as soon as they are young. In front of them, the 76ers were just roadside beggars who had picked up five hundred yuan by walking shit, and they didn't need to pay attention to it at all. ”

The more Barkley talked, the more excited he became, and the camera gave the 76ers bench at the right time, from Chen Mu to Amundson, from the core to the water cooler guardian, all of them had a look of eagerness to try, without the slightest timidity.

"Is it easy for Brother Gongzi to crush him, or is the poor boy counterattacking and upset? I can't wait, my brothers! (To be continued......)
