Entering the second quarter, the offensive rhythm of the Philadelphia 76ers suddenly changed.
Prior to that, since last season, and even since last season, Philadelphia's offensive tempo has been pursuing one word, and that is fast.
Whether it's defensive counterattacks or baseline balls, Philadelphia is playing crazy fast.
Because they know that their lack of attackers will be quickly magnified in positional battles, and even lead to the loss of the game.
At the beginning, there was a personal attack god like Iverson in the team, but it was okay, as long as he could survive the stage when Iverson was not on the court, and find a player who could replace Iverson and complete the positional battle attack, he could survive the most difficult transition and look for a chance to win.
At that time, Chen Mu, as the sixth person of the team, held this responsibility for a long time.
Although there are also Lewis Williams, Willie Green and other ball-handling attackers, but one of these two is a rookie, and the other has limited talent and level.
It is not uncommon for the 76ers to lose due to the loss of momentum in the connecting section.
The addition of Chen Mu increased the offensive options for the team, with Louis Williams and Willie Green attacking mainly, and Chen Mu receiving on the weak side and using mid-range shots to solve the battle, which was a common technique in Philadelphia at that time.
But after Iverson was traded early in last season, the team suddenly fell into a tactical bottom.
So far, Philadelphia's attacker. Not a single one.
So, with the efforts of Chen Mu and Cheeks and others, Philadelphia has formed today's tactical style, everything is fast, and it is best to complete all the offenses in the transition, even if you can't directly complete the fast attack, you must seize the time when the opponent is not stable to fight behind.
Although there are no attackers, there are many young men in Philadelphia and they are full of energy. One by one, ordinary teams have to stop their fast breaks. It's not easy.
There is no offside in basketball, Iguodala and Carney are running wildly, and Chen Mu sends a long pass in the backcourt, which is the repertoire of the Philadelphia 76ers last season.
This situation has continued to this day, and there is still no substantial change, although Chen Mu has the skill of backing his body with one hand, he is not a one-handed trick. The power of positional warfare, Chen Mu has not yet been developed to the extreme, and it cannot be compared with Iverson at all. Back-to-back basket skills. It's just a condiment in countless quick counterattacks, and if you want to win, you have to rely on it.
It's a pity that Philadelphia is bent on playing fast. The main point guard is a calm and spicy veteran, Miller's style can be said to be incompatible with the team, and until the end of the season, he did not really play his true level.
Now. The situation has changed.
"One more goal!"
Kyle Lowry dribbled forward, and Nash's defense really couldn't bother him too much, and Lowry came to the front court without much resistance. The players quickly settled into position, and Chen Mu stuck Howard behind him in the low post, reached out and began to ask for the ball.
"The style of Philadelphia has really changed......!"
Barkley has fallen into semi-dementia since Chen Mu threw his first step-back jumper. As a former interior superstar and MVP-level Hall of Fame player, Barkley can naturally see that Chen Mu's backward jumper still has many problems, and the action connection is not smooth enough.
is such a half-hung backward jumper, but the sun is a little foggy. Xiao Si is just that, he was originally a defensive colander, a big killer focused on offense, but what about Howard? This is a defensive titan who is known as the future inner super gate, and a superman with his own defensive system! Why can't you prevent the Chinese kid's lame step-back jumper??
"Huh"
"Haha, what luck!"
Another back-to-back hit, in front of Chen Mu's eyes, the scoring scorer badge began to flash, hitting four balls in a row, making the system judge that Chen Mu was already feeling hot.
Next, as long as you continue this feeling, even if you lose a few balls, it will not affect the overall situation, the feel is still there, and the backward jump shots can be endless!
“FXXK!”
From the joyful Orlando to the unrestrained Arizona, Howard's personality seems to have changed a little, the happy boy with a smile on his face is still there, but more often, his expression has become much calmer. Even for the defense that he likes the most and is best at, Howard will look for offensive opportunities as soon as he grabs rebounds or blocks, and he is not as pure as before.
That's the difference a team makes to a player.
Is Chen Mu's backward jumper effective because of this?
Speaking of which, where did his step-back jumper skills come from?
"Philadelphia is at a strange pace right now, in the first quarter, no, in the first ten games of the season, Philadelphia is still playing fast, fast, even faster than before."
Smith also saw the clue and said: "But after today's game came to the second quarter, Philadelphia began to cut the rhythm and started a positional battle!" ”
It's a gamble.
It is a trick that Chen Mu and Cheeks, the master and apprentice, will sacrifice on the court from time to time.
What you bet on is a change in the mentality of the other party.
This gamble sometimes succeeds, allowing the team to win against strong teams like the Nuggets and Pistons, and sometimes it fails, giving the team a losing streak.
Today, will it be successful?
Howard's defensive mentality has changed, and after Chen Mu hit back-to-back jumpers in a row, the mentality of the entire Suns team has changed, and it has become a little more impetuous than before.
"You can't beat a fast attack!"
Nash dribbled forward, and his heart was rarely a little impatient.
The foundation of the Sun's existence is also speed, even faster than that of Philadelphia.
Because they have Steve Nash, the best backcourt commander in the league, they have the capital to play endlessly.
But today, the Philadelphia 76ers were still playing back and forth with their fast break in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, they changed and began to grind positional battles. Even if there is a clear opportunity for fast attack, according to the character of the 76ers in the past, when they will definitely play fast attack, they will deliberately slow down and hand over the ball to Chen Mu to deal with.
Is this a tactic?
Speaking of tactics, a tactician like Nash couldn't see the reason, Philadelphia just became more cautious, the ball was more concentrated in Chen Mu's hands, and there was no difference in other tactical arrangements!
So what's going on?
This feeling of being cut off at your own pace. Where did it come from?
"One fast and one slow, first fast and then slow."
Barkley, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth and watched Philadelphia score under the basket through a dazzling continuous pass and cut on the court, and the fat man said quietly: "The Philadelphia 76ers have been laid out from the beginning." ”
"How?" Smith asked.
"At the beginning, play fast with the sun, let the sun relax its vigilance, come out of the temptation at the beginning, and quickly enter its own rhythm. Play the offensive routine they are most familiar with. Then there was a sudden slowdown, suffocating slowness, and the Suns players should have noticed that the start was going well. It's just an illusion and a trap. ”
Barkley said: "For the Suns, it feels like playing a game against the Warriors who are also crazy about offense, and everyone's blood is mobilized and the whole body is hot. I want to sing, and I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and do a real job. As a result, there was a 'snap', and Duncan ran out of nowhere. Gave Nash a big mouth. Then tell Nash, 'In the last three quarters, we will play with the Spurs.'" So, the sun was confused. ”
Barkley's analogy gave Smith a black line, but it wasn't rough, and it was exactly what he said.
"Oh, you talk about this."
Over there, Barkley was still pretending to be deep, and here Smith suddenly turned around, reached out and knocked on the table in front of Barkley, causing the latter to look back, and then opened his hand with a big mouth.
"Smack!"
"Me @#¥%&*......!!!!"
Barkley was stunned by Smith, his fat eyes widened, he reached out to cover the beaten red fat face, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and he looked at Smith in surprise.
"You just said that I would hit you." Smith didn't look at Barkley's funny expression at all, Gu Zi straightened his shirt, coughed and said, "Let's continue to watch the game." ”
"Kenny, you're paralyzed......!!!"
The director hurriedly pinched off the microphone in front of Barkley.
on the pitch.
"When"
“FXXK!”
Ragabel missed the outside shot, rarely burst into a foul language, and slapped his hands hard, as if he could shoot off the bad feeling, and angrily went back to defense.
It was the Suns' seventh consecutive missed shot so far in the second quarter.
The score has become 41-33, and the Philadelphia 76ers have an eight-point lead.
"Don't think about it, go back to defense!"
Nash was a little anxious, seeing that Korver had already started to start at the moment when Bell complained, quietly walked around to the front court from one side, and hurriedly opened his mouth to remind.
Suns, have you reached the point where you need me, a defensive colander, to remind others to defend?
A reminder was shouted, and Nash himself was a little embarrassed, shaking his head as if laughing at himself, and gritting his teeth and throwing himself into the defense.
Even Nash is gritting his teeth to defend, and it looks like the Suns are going to regain their strength, right?
The Suns fans at home began to chant, seeing the fighting spirit of the team's main player, and their hearts were instantly surging, and the shouts were loud as if the two teams were playing Game 7 of the finals.
But all this is useless.
Twenty minutes later, at halftime, 56-47, the 76ers turned a tense offensive drama into the Spurs vs. Pistons.
The Suns, who have averaged 114 points per game so far this season, only scored 14 points in the second quarter.
The game completely entered the rhythm of the 76ers. (To be continued......)
