Chapter 505: Eastern Heroes

"27 points! The Chinese kid led the team to beat the Spurs! ”

In the game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Spurs, there was no suspense left in the final quarter. Chen Mu's shocking two-plus-one dunk not only dunked Duncan, but also completely extinguished the last hope of the Spurs' counterattack.

In the fourth quarter, the old and spicy Popovich no longer let the players play hard. No one was surprised that the Spurs' main players were replaced, and the 76ers also made personnel adjustments shortly after seeing the Spurs' adjustments, replacing all the main players.

The final quarter of the game was reduced to garbage time, and while the Spurs' bench attack firepower was good, the 76ers' side was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Willie Green, Carney, and Thaddeus Young all have one-handed skills, plus the combination of Evans and Jordan Jr. on the inside, Philadelphia's bench has a clear division of labor and does not give the Spurs any more opportunities.

After the game, the online version of the local media in Philadelphia released the news as soon as possible, and the title with it seemed to have a portal flavor, but it can't be helped, people are indeed portals!

With this battle over, almost all doubts about the strength of the Philadelphia 76ers in the new season have disappeared.

There are people who continue to hack Chen Mu and the 76ers, but they can't become the mainstream. Just like last season, when the 76ers played an astonishing winning streak and dominated the first place in the East, a win against a strong team can always add weight to the upstart position.

And unlike last season, last season's 76ers' victory over the Suns was a thrilling victory. Although the final result may not seem like a match, the victory is enough to convince people.

At that time, when all the fans watched the 76ers vs. Suns game, they watched it with a mentality of wanting to see the underdog. Now that the new season has begun, the 76ers' performance so far is almost unbeatable, making the 76ers' game against the Spurs no longer the kind of game where the weak team challenges the strong. It's a showdown of strong conversations.

The final result was that the upstart knocked out the master neatly. The 76ers also officially entered the field of vision of fans and commentators with the victory of this game, and became a strong team in the new season.

"Not a fluke."

Half a week after the 76ers and the Spurs battle, on the week review program on the catwalk, Ba Fat Man said with a serious face: "The 76ers can beat the Spurs, it's not a fluke." ”

"When they beat the Suns last year, I thought it was a fluke. The Suns' feel problem, the 76ers' outburst and other factors all came together to create that result. But this year is different. This year's 76ers already have the aura of a strong team. ”

"How?" The host asked with interest.

"This year's Philadelphia 76ers are the strongest in the East, that's for sure." Ba Fat Man said with a fat head: "Offense and defense are all top level in the East." In the face of the strong team in the west, he did not fall behind at all, no, to be precise, he gave the strong team in the west a beating. ”

"The Spurs aren't particularly strong this season." The moderator said.

"But it's not a weak team."

Barkley's response silenced everyone.

Oh, yes. Even if the Spurs are no longer the brave team they used to be and are no longer the super team that beat the league, they are still the team that just won the championship more than a year ago, right?

Isn't it a testament to the strength of the 76ers to be able to beat the Spurs on the road?

Moreover. After the victory over the Spurs, the 76ers played two more games, winning them all.

In the last two games, the 76ers' opponents were not strong. The team barely let the core general Chen Mu spend too much effort, and with the endless rich tactics, he has already beaten the opponent who doesn't want it.

Chen Mu got a rare rest. In both games, he only played about 30 minutes, and he went off the court with a trademark 20-plus points and more than 10 rebounds to drink Gatorade with Iguodala.

This 76ers team has not done their best.

This idea has taken shape in the minds of many fans and commentators. At first glance, it seems a little ridiculous, but to be able to win the Spurs away by more than 20 points, is it not enough to do your best?

But when you think about it, it does.

This season's NBA has formed a situation where many strong teams compete for the best. The Celtics in the East are still soaring, and the Cleveland Cavaliers have also completed a qualitative change after getting Mo Williams, playing a jaw-dropping offensive performance, and now they are also winning streaks and maintaining a winning record.

In the West, the old powerhouses Spurs and Mavericks are in obvious decline, but with their strength, it is still easy to win 50 games before the end of the season. In addition, the Lakers and Suns are still the leading combination in the West, the cooperation between Kobe Bryant and Sangao is becoming more and more refined, and there are good sparks between Howard and Suns' teammates.

This season's NBA championship is likely to be born among these teams, and this argument has been recognized by most people.

It's just that before the start of the season, no one would have imagined that the Cleveland Cavaliers would perform so strongly. The continued evolution of LeBron James and the enhancement of the team's overall offensive power have made the Cavaliers faintly have the spirit of hegemony and appear quite powerful.

The most surprising thing is the 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers, in the post-Iverson era, seem to finally have a chance to compete for the Gold Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor.

"We used to say that the 76ers can't do it, they can play some classic games in the regular season, and they will be deflated in the playoffs. The reason is very simple, that is, because without Iverson, the 76ers have no backbone, no superstar to lead the team, and when superstars are needed at critical moments, no one can carry the basketball banner of Philadelphia and fight hard with Kobe and LeBron. ”

"It's different now, it's completely different!"

Barkley continued: "This season's Chinese kid is a superstar, there is no doubt about it! ”

Chen Mu, supergiant?

This is a proposal that has been put forward since last season. But the person who put forward this statement at that time was either a fan of Chen Mu or a loyal fan of 76. Speaking this kind of words, there is some meaning of "Wang Po selling melons", which is with obvious subjective will.

Chen Mu did become a star in the NBA, but the so-called superstar. But they are all super players who have left their names in history, the kind of existence that one person can turn the sky over with one hand. Chen Mu is obviously still far from that goal.

Later, when it came to the Olympic Games, Chen Mu's dominance in the face of the cruel elimination system in the Olympic arena made more and more people think that Chen Mu had the qualifications to compete for the top brand in the league.

But in the Olympics, as you all know, some guys are role players in the NBA. After taking on the responsibility of your own national team, you can also play very good games. Those who could have entered the NBA were all the best in one side, but because of tactics, technical capabilities and other reasons, they couldn't exert their maximum power.

Coming to the national team, with the right tactics, Spanoulis is Kobe, Arroyo is the smiling assassin, and Christic can all become Yao Ming. Haddadi is simply a strengthened version of Mutombo.

So, it's not surprising that Chen Mu became China's Olajuwang in the Olympic arena, right?

Until now, the regular season has been played for two weeks. Chen Mu still maintained a strong performance, and finally, people began to realize:

Chinese boy, I have finally crossed that hurdle.

The threshold that lies between the "star" and the "superstar". has been trampled under Chen Mu's feet.

Carlisle, who has been idle at home for a year, took advantage of Chen Mu's sudden extra three-point threat to formulate a lot of breathtaking tactics. led the 76ers to a phenomenal offensive performance. At the same time, the 76ers' defensive backbone has not been lost, and the inside and outside defensive gate composed of Chen Mu and Iguodala is terrifying. With the smart but solid Lowry, Korver, who has improved on the defensive end, and Milicic, whose rim-protecting ability is underrated, the 76ers are already a strong team with good offense and defense.

True to its name, the East is strong!

"Toot!"

At the Wajovia Center, another game is over.

"Eight wins in a row!!"

Fans counted the 76ers' winning streak, erupted in shocking shouts, streamers flew in the sky, and the Philadelphia generals ushered in another victory night.

β€œIT’S-ABOUT-TIME!”

The fans shouted the slogan of the team's new season, all of them were impassioned and excited, and the era of the Philadelphia 76ers was approaching.

With just one more three-pointer and an outside sharpshooter who can still contribute terrifying firepower in Korver's absence, the 76ers' overall offensive routine can reach new heights.

Everyone knows this, and Carlisle and Chen Mu are naturally very clear.

However, they are not in a hurry, and only they know the specific reasons.

"Haha, happy!"

In the locker room, the players who had finished taking a shower celebrated with each other, Iguodala howled, and then walked to Chen Mu's side and said, "How to arrange it at night?" The instrument room walked?? ”

"Leave your sister! Haven't you already practiced today! Chen Mu couldn't laugh and cried, and punched Iguodala.

"Yes, why are we going?" Iguodala frowned and thought for a while, then her eyes lit up and she said, "2K!" 2K9 out of the PC version, how about it, do you want to check it? ”

"Isn't it out a long time ago?" Chen Mu asked with a smile.

"But a new patch just came out.,List patch.,It just came out yesterday.,I haven't updated it yet.。 They said that the abilities of our team members have been raised! ”

Iguodala's words plunged the locker room into silence for a moment.

"What's wrong......?"

Iguodala was stunned, he didn't expect his words to make everyone so concerned, and asked puzzledly.

"...... ability?" Milicic muttered coldly.

"Did my rebounding ability blow up the charts?!" Evans' eyes widened.

"I should have improved too, haha!" Lori smiled shyly.

"What about me, what about me? Boss how many stats do I have? Carney came up and joined in the fun.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at Korver, who was quietly changing clothes on the side, and saw a hint of curiosity in the latter's eyes.

"Or ...... Got started? ”

Korver spoke. (To be continued.) )

PS: Continuing the topic of the slam dunk contest, keel porridge saw someone say that this year's dunk contest surpassed the Golden State in 2000, and there are many people who agree with it.

What do you think? Is Golden State good, or is this session better?

Personally, I think this year's finals are unprecedentedly exciting. But Golden State Carter's first button is irreproducible, and it belongs to the kind that can turn the whole world upside down with one button.
