Chapter 624: Heavy rain is coming!
Heavy rain is coming!
Before the start of the game, before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals series, not only most of the ball critics and media, including fans, but even the most die-hard fans of the Philadelphia 76ers, thought that Philadelphia might not have the slightest chance in this series.
Losing Korver was definitely a hard blow to Philadelphia, who had been almost completely healthy all season. The only stable outside three-point point is gone, and the space on the offensive end will be compressed to the limit. Lowry, Iguodala, and Carney are all masters who are stronger than shooting. And Chen Mu and Milicic are also good at back, and they desperately need space under the basket.
With such a bunch of players who are going to attack under the basket together, if the space can be stretched, then Carlisle is not a coach, but a god.
Even Carlisle, when he learned that Korver would be reimbursed for the season, frowned deeply and shook his head, and was a little flustered for a while.
Without this containment point, whether it is Ray Allen or Rondo, they can unscrupulously wrap the inside line and suppress Chen Mu under the basket when Philadelphia is attacking.
Even if in a game on the Philadelphia side, Lowry suddenly had an idea, or Iguodala hit a few three-pointers in a row. The Celtics, on their side, could also play a few rounds in a row to expand their defense, disrupt the continuity of Philadelphia's outside and then re-shrink the inside.
At that time, Chen Mu's feel has not recovered, but the outside feeling has become a mess, and Philadelphia still wants to win? What to win??
And now, the game has been played for a quarter and a half, but the score on the court is still anxious, 43-41, and the Philadelphia 76ers even have a two-point lead.
How is this done?
"Smack!"
Chen Mu, who returned to the field, welcomed back his starting teammates one by one. On the Celtics' side, Rondo was in control of the ball, but Lowry had already made up his mind to let Rondo shoot. Once a three-point miss, Rondo was still annoyed. Under the basket, Chen Mu has already grabbed the rebound ball fiercely and is ready to advance the attack.
Is it going to be a fast break or a position?
Will Carney pick up the raid to the basket, or will Lowry and Iguodala break through individually?
Is it Milicic who plays with his back to the basket, or does he run up front to find a mid-range opportunity?
Or...... Are the Philadelphia 76ers going to make a big move?
βALL-SETοΌβ
At the end of the frontcourt run, Lowry and Iguodala cooperated hand-to-hand, and the Philadelphia Flyers held the ball on the wing, shouted loudly, and sent the basketball in their hands.
Inside, Chen Mu catches the ball and turns his back.
The defender behind you. It was the DPOY of 2008 and one of the most terrifying defensive machines in NBA history - Kevin Garnett.
"Come on, come on! Show me how much you're capable of, little ghost! β
Garnett spews trash talk, which is his habit, and it is uncomfortable not to spray.
"Bang"
Chen Mu once dribbled the ball and didn't pay attention to Garnett's trash talk at all. He knew very well that Garnett's trash talk was not good but more than fine, and he was going the same way as Peyton or something. If you are caught in his trash talk and your mentality is unbalanced, that's the real trouble.
It is said that Duncan's free throws were once passable. It's because once KG kept chanting in Duncan's ear, "You can't score, you can't score, you can't score, you can't score", and then when it sounded, Duncan's free throws didn't gradually come back until more than ten years later.
Can't be influenced by him, now me. And not afraid of him!
After Chen Mu dribbled, he turned around and walked towards the bottom line, and Rondo on the weak side pounced directly.
Pass!
Chen Mu sent a direct pass to the bottom line without looking at it, and the basketball rushed out of a sharp straight line along the bottom line to the bottom corner of the weak side. Lowry has been waiting for a long time.
After receiving the ball, Lowry made a gesture to shoot. Although Lowry's three-point shooting at this time is still unstable, it is somewhat better than Rondo at this time. Rondo didn't dare to slack off. Still took a step back and stepped forward to interfere with Lowry's shot.
Lowry, sends a lob pass.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball flew into the air, and KG involuntarily glanced at the weak side.
Just at a glance, I just want to make sure if Lowry really shot.
Chen Mu, start.
"Bang!"
The power struck, Chen Mu's body crushed over KG's body, and he turned around extremely quickly, went around to the basket, made a BOX-OUT action, and then jumped directly.
This is......
"Shark Step!!"
Barkley saw the clue at a glance and shouted, and on the field, Garnett naturally recognized it, and hurriedly jumped to interfere.
I have a longer arm span than his, so I can interfere!
Garnett is confident that while he is a little out of position, interfering with the ball is not a problem.
The shark step seems to be domineering and direct, but it is actually extremely demanding in terms of technique and balance. The slightest distraction can lead to the final failure of the basket, why can O'Neal use it, but so many interior players can't?
It's because on a technical level, O'Neal's turn is fast and sharp enough, and there are few inside lines with such turns.
In addition, on a physical level, he can have enough strength like O'Neal to knock defenders away at once, and he can also maintain balance under interference after jumping and dunk the ball violently.
There is such a speed and strength, there is no such dish, such as Xiao Si.
There are those who have a solid plate, but there is no such reaction, such as Yao Ming.
And Chen Mu, although his strength, explosiveness, and reaction are not bad, there is still a big gap between him and the real shark.
Interference!
The basketball entered Chen Mu's hand, and Garnett's body behind him was pasted up, and his long arms stretched out in front of him, almost touching the bottom of the basketball.
Chen Mu suddenly pushed the ball forward.
This kid is crazy......?!!
Garnett's body was still in the air, completely dumbfounded, Chen Mu pushed the basketball forward this time, and it was impossible to complete the dunk. In the air, the time is full, and it is only a few tenths of a second, and Chen Mu wants to collect the ball and then dunk it, but he can't catch the basket. If you want to dunk directly, you will dunk it outside the basket!
What does a Chinese kid mean......
"Whoosh"
In front of Garnett's eyes, Chen Mu's body shrank, and he pulled the ball down with both hands, and his body had already fallen.
A dunk is really impossible to do with the interference of an opponent at Garnett's level.
But who said that under the basket, there is only one way to score goals: dunks?
Two-handed lever in the air!
Chen Mu held the ball and floated forward horizontally. The moment the body is about to hit the ground, throw the ball up with both hands.
The basketball spun and flew up at high speed, and in Garnett's surprised eyes, it rubbed high on the top of the rebound.
"Smack...... Swish! β
Perfect angle, basketball hit the board into the net.
ββ¦β¦ OββMββGββοΌοΌοΌ β
The fans were stunned, Garnett was stunned, and the whole Celtics team was stunned. Barkley, who was on the side of the commentary stage, had his eyes wide open, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and he was stunned for a long time before continuing: "This, this, this...... It's just a defender's move! β
This...... It was luck, right??!
on the field. Chen Mu landed, looked back at Garnett deeply, and then hugged the cheers that erupted from the audience, and walked to the backcourt.
Garnett stayed where he was, unable to say a word, and a trash talk master of his level was actually dumbfounded by this ball, which shows how exaggerated this ball is.
It's not surprising that the interior line makes such a pull-up move, after all, it can enter the NBA. Each one is the pride of the sky. Amazing actions on the field, on the training court, almost any NBA player can do it.
However, ...... in the empty state?
Or is it ...... with interference?
If it weren't for luck. There is no need to play the game at all, the Chinese kid plays every ball like this, and the Green Shirts just admit defeat.
"Luck must have been."
Pierce knew what his friend was thinking, and stepped forward chewing gum. patted Garnett on the shoulder and said, "It's impossible to have this kind of preset tactic, the Chinese kid is just lucky." β
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure? Garnett was still looking at Chen Mu's back.
"I'm ......" Pierce chewed on the gum hard, his brow furrowed, "If you can't be sure." What can it be? β
Oh, yes.
What can it be?
This guy in front of him is the MVP. The team opposite has the best record in the league.
With such an opponent, do we really think that if we exert a little force, people will fall?
Don't be naΓ―ve!
"Let's call back."
Pierce said no more, nodded at Ganeh, and headed to the front.
Well......
Let's call back!
After that, a hurricane blew in Vajovia.
The name of this hurricane is 76 people, the eye of the storm, is Chen Mu.
With about five minutes left in the second quarter, both teams were full starting lineups. After Rondo's frontcourt pass, a strange run to the basket, suddenly single-handedly lifted the ball, flew Lowry, and then turned around to change hands, the iconic Rondo-style one-handed toss.
Behind him, a black shadow took off.
"Smack!"
The big hat fanned out, and after Chen Mu landed, he turned back, turned around and ran backwards to the front court.
Rondo struggled to turn around and catch up, and when he saw Chen Mu's back, he suddenly remembered a scene not so long ago.
At that time, the team had not yet formed a big three, and he and Pierce held the Green Shirts' position.
At that time, he made a fast-break feint layup, and he was also fanned by Chen Mu in this way.
After that, it rained in Philadelphia.
It's raining heavily!
"Boss!"
Lowry quickly sent a long pass in the backfield, Chen Mu received the ball and rushed to the inside, and suddenly made a quick stop to pull up and shoot.
"Huh!"
Basketball hits.
Rondo controlled the ball to the front court and hit the ground, and Pierce went head-to-head on the weak side. Iguodala sacrificed a perfect defense, Pierce failed to shake off space with a few feints, and finally chose to miss a strong shot, and Chen Mu rebounded.
The free-throw line in the front court received the ball, the Philadelphia lighthouse ran like a marquee, and two planes, Carney and Iguodala, roared past Chen Muzuo's flanks. Chen Mu stood in place like a magician, with one hand to the right, the moment Garnett turned sideways, Chen Mu grabbed the ball with one hand and pulled back, and passed the ball forward above Garnett's head.
Don't!
Garnett immediately adjusted his center of gravity, and the BUG-level mobility was displayed, and he was about to steal when he jumped.
Chen Mu once again collected the ball with one hand, taking advantage of Garnett's slight leaning back to try to steal, he shot slightly backwards.
β¦β¦ Middle!
"......"
Seeing this ball, the beautiful one-handed movement made Barkley dumbfounded, and he looked at it for a long time before he opened his mouth to curse.
"Good ball, good ball! Chinese kid is good...... Well? What's wrong Charles? Smith realized something was wrong and asked back.
"This ball ......"
Barkley said in a deep voice: "It's Jordan's action ......!" (To be continued.) )
