played 7 minutes, did not score on two shots, and was all slapped by the opposing player's big hat.

With no rebounds, no assists, and didn't even do decent screens and pick-and-rolls a few times, Troy Murphy, who fell a huge heel when he urgently needed to prove himself in the new season, was cleaned up by Philadelphia's new core Chen Mu, and fell into the boundless darkness.

Seeing Chen Mu's unstoppable performance, Don Nelson, a veteran coach who has always been known in the league for his bold and unstoppable small-ball style, once again made a bold rotation and directly replaced the poor performance Murphy and made drastic adjustments to the lineup.

After the timeout ended, and returned to the court again, the 76ers players were surprised to find that the Warriors completely abandoned the position of power forward, and put on a posture of "if you have the ability, you will use Chen Mu to completely beat me to death", and the lineup on the court was "small" and a little strange.

Point guard Barron Davis, as well as center Biedrins remain unchanged, and the scoring guard is equipped with Monta Ellis, a fast and bounced assaulter, and the original No. 2 and No. 3 positions are rotated up, Richardson moves to the small forward position, and Dunleavy stands at the No. 4 position.

The average height of this lineup has plummeted, and the defensive intensity of the interior has dropped another notch compared to when Murphy was on the floor.

Although Mike Dunleavy is also a well-rounded striker, his defensive ability is quite weak, and he is still alive with the defensive shooter, but he is as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of an inside killer like Chen Mu.

This lineup is somewhat similar to the small lineup that the 76ers put on a rare occasion last season, leaving only one tough enough rebounder on the inside, and the remaining four players are all small men with a certain range and impact. The purpose is very clear, that is, to use a quick raid to grab points as soon as possible and close the score gap.

It's just that compared with the 76ers last season, the interior player in the Warriors' team, Biedlins, has better defense, but has lost his range and adaptability, and is a pure blue-collar who can no longer be pure.

In this case, the Warriors couldn't play the kind of 2-1-2 that the 76ers were good at last season, except for the point guard, the rest of the players were rushing to break up, Ellis could only coldly revitalize the offense by breaking through the ball, and the burden of organization almost completely fell on Barron-Davis alone.

"Grab points quickly!"

As soon as he got on the court, Davis burst out with a terrifying momentum, his center of gravity was extremely low when dribbling, and every time he shot the ball, it seemed that he had a grudge against the floor, and he used all his strength, like a sharp sword to stab into the Philadelphia penalty area.

"Defense!"

Miller's legs and feet were not happy, and when he saw Davis's stance, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted to remind the inside line to pay attention.

Chen Mu and Hunter waited for the battle, not daring to be sloppy, and came to the vicinity of the three-second zone and opened their arms to meet Davis's desperate raid.

Davis dribbled like the wind, as fast as a flame of fire, frantically ran over Miller, came to the free throw line and stepped down, and took off directly regardless of it.

"The beauty of thought!"

Hunter stepped forward to resist, raised his arms high and jumped at the same time, and just as the two were about to make physical contact, Davis's basketball suddenly flashed in his hand and slammed it straight to the weak side.

Montaelis had been in ambush for a long time, running back to bypass Korver's defense, taking a few steps to catch the basketball from outside the three-second zone, and then jumped off in style, staring at the basket and began to fly.

Chen Mu also rushed from the strong side, and the whole person rushed forward, enveloping Ellis under his arms, ready to serve with a big hat at any time.

"Whoosh"

Ellis seemed to have expected Chen Mu's supplemental defense, and as soon as the basketball in his hand was closed, the whole person flew sideways, went around from the basket to the other side, and then threw the ball with his backhand.

The basketball bounced lightly on the rebound, rebounded smoothly into the frame, and the restless shouts of the fans instantly quieted down, and many people were dumbfounded.

In the second season of his career, Montaelis ushered in a big explosion, although it was still unreliable outside the three-point line, but the impact on the basket began to show the unstoppable shadow in the future. With all sorts of raids, he became Davis' most trusted backcourt lieutenant, incarnating as Golden State's second flame, bombarding the opponent's basket frantically.

After scoring the score, Ellis landed lightly, as light as a civet cat, and ran to the backcourt without looking back, high-five Davis with an angry face on the way.

The two flames combined to form the flames of the Golden State, vowing to burn throughout the NBA!

"So fast!"

Seeing Ellis's wonderful performance, Chen Mu was also shocked.

Facing Wade last season, Chen Mu has already learned what is called lightning-like speed. And Ellis's disguised speed may not be as lethal as Wade's, but his explosive power at the moment of hitting the basket is not lost to any breakthrough master in the league.

To hold these two flames, the burden on Chen Mu and Hunter's shoulders was very heavy.

Attacking again, Miller was still tepid, as if the defensive defeat of Fang Cai would not have any effect on his heart at all. Standing at the top of the arc and squinting, he instantly determined the tactical ideas, and after some arrangement, the ball was successfully delivered to Chen Mu.

"Keep going back to the singles!"

Fans also saw the clues, without Murphy, facing Dunleavy who was a little shorter and dozens of pounds lighter, Chen Mu would be too much to say if he didn't continue to crush in the low position.

Holding the ball to determine the position, and then arching his back, using his arm span to control the ball at the far end to protect the basketball from being stealed, Chen Mu had no intention of passing the ball at all, several strong crushes, smoothly came to the basket, turned around and began to jump instantly, and easily hit the basket above Dunleavy's head.

"Good shot!"

scored his 16th point, and Chen Mu's full-fire performance attracted the audience to chant again. 21-8, the difference has not changed, and the 76ers still hold an unshakable advantage.

However, the cheers of the fans did not last long, and the Wajovia Center was quiet again.

Almost the next second Chen Mu released the basket, Dunleavy quickly sent out the baseline ball, Davis got the ball like a wild horse, sprinted to the front court like a thunderbolt, and sent an assist before the 76ers' defense was formed, and Richardson scored three points and landed steadily.

"10 points!"

When Hui Fang passed by Chen Mu's side, Davis clenched his teeth and almost squeezed this sentence out of his throat.

"If you have the ability, you can blow us up all over the court, and in the future, as long as your form drops in the slightest, we will shoot your basket with a three-point shot!"

Seeing Davis's fighting spirit, Chen Mu's fighting spirit was also instantly stimulated, and he looked back at Miller, and before he could speak, the old point guard nodded slightly and said, "Go to the front court, I will pass the ball to you!" ”

"That's all it takes, if you don't blow them up, it's too ugly!"

Miller's words touched Chen Mu's heart, the old point guard seemed calm, but in fact, he also had an unyielding fighting spirit in his heart. This statement was very much in line with Chen Mu's appetite, and after casting a trusting look at Miller, Chen Mu rushed to the front without looking back.

In the next game, the fast pace was dazzling, and both teams sacrificed the strongest killer moves, constantly scoring points above each other's heads.

After receiving the ball with his back, he crushed it to the basket, suddenly turned around and dunked with both hands, and Chen Mu scored 18 points.

Breaking through Miller's defense with the ball, he changed hands to layups like a trick in the face of Hunter's supplemental defense, and the ball scored and added free throws, and Davis was on fire.

Holding the ball in the waist position, the back body suddenly passed the ball instantly, Iguodala bombed the basket, and Chen Mu got the third assist.

After landing on the ball, Ellis broke through to attract the defense, and Dunleavy hit a three-pointer.

The high block quickly reversed, Miller's pass to the ball, Chen Mu received the ball and burst out, forcefully made a foul on Beedrins, made two free throws, and scored his 19th point.

After handing over the ball, he ran without the ball, went around the weak-side three-point line to pull the defense, received Ellis's return pass with one hand, and Richardson scored on a mid-range shot.

Catching the ball and making a passing feint while on the march, he shook Dunleavy's center of gravity and then suddenly jumped and shot successfully, scoring 21 points in a single quarter!

DAVIS ADVANCED AT MID-TEMPO AND SUDDENLY MADE AN IN-AND-OUT IN THE FACE OF MILLER'S DEFENSE, AND THEN TURNED AROUND WITH A DASHING PULL BALL, AND FACED THE DEFENDING IGUODALA WITH A GROUND PASS, RICHARDSON HIT THE SECOND THREE-POINTER!

After several rounds in a row, both sides were unstoppable on the offensive end, but unconsciously, the score gap between the two teams was constantly narrowing.

"Huh......? Why is there only 6 points left......?! ”

By the time the fans reflected, the score of the two teams had become 28-22, and the 76ers' lead was gradually eroded, and the game fell into a stalemate again.

"Three-pointers and two-plus-one...... I see. ”

After carefully recalling the scoring performance of the Warriors on the offensive end just now, Chen Mu understood a little, and there was a little more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Davis.

The small lineup will definitely fall into passivity when defending the opponent's interior killer, either being beaten into offense or being fouled, and almost every time the 76ers attack can score points.

However, as an interior player, without a three-point shot, as long as you don't play two plus one, you can only score two points at most for an offense.

If the opponent's defense is resolute enough, never stretch out his hand when the ball should not be fouled, and never be soft when it should be fouled, to ensure that Chen Mu cannot play two plus one, then the Warriors' strategy is half successful.

At this time, Davis and his Warriors finally showed their fangs and began to use continuous outside offense and interior fouls to create damage and narrow the score gap.

There was not much time left in the first quarter, and the players on both teams were a little tired, especially the starters who had played from the beginning to the present, and they were even more out of breath.

Even those as strong as Davis began to feel the trouble of declining physical strength, and it was imperative to make a substitution.

On the sidelines, Nelson was ready to call a second timeout, and the tactics of one stage had been successful, and then as long as the score gap was kept as long as possible in the connecting period, the second half of the second quarter was a great opportunity for the Warriors to counterattack.

Miller, who was dribbling, glanced at it and saw that Nelson was about to apply for a timeout, so he immediately accelerated his speed and began to break through, bypassing Chen Mu's blocking and dismantling and quickly turned his back outside the three-second zone, leaned towards the tired Davis, suddenly turned around, and hit a layup with a low hand under the basket.

“DAMN！”

Seeing this scene, Nelson knew that his timeout was still a round late, and hurriedly signaled to the referee to ask for a timeout, and both teams began to make substitutions.

On the court, seeing Miller's alertness and choice, Chen Mu was also stunned.

"At that moment just now, Miller's speed and rhythm suddenly sped up, isn't it ......?"

Seeing Miller regain that old man-like speed and slowly walk to the off-field, Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle.

"This old guy has long expected that Davis will continue to attack, and his physical strength will definitely begin to decline, this is deliberately saving up energy to play this key goal!"

That's right, from the opening point onwards, Miller has maintained an unhurried mid-tempo that seems to have a feeling of not being able to work, making anxious fans who are used to Iverson's speedy scoring drive crazy.

But at the moment when both sides had a decline in physical strength and a little slackness in their spirits, Miller suddenly began to speed up and caught Davis off guard. This kind of thief's extreme choice made Chen Mu appreciate it very much.

"It seems to be as calm as water, but in fact the dark tide is turbulent, Andre Miller is really an unfathomable point guard like the ocean!"

The fierce battle continues. (To be continued.) )
