Chapter 174: Organizing the Striker

Conceco Arena, the game is reopened.

As soon as they returned to the court, the Pacers players, who had been praised by Carlisle during the timeout and felt that they had firmly grasped the situation, noticed that something was wrong.

"...... this?"

On the 76ers' side, after sending the baseline ball, Miller symbolically controlled the ball over the halfcourt, then paused at the top of the arc, and waited until Iguodala took advantage of Chen Mu's cover from the weak side to hand over the ball immediately.

After completing the handover, Miller quickly rushed to the low position, and Chen Mu, who had already taken advantage of the situation to the high position, made cover again, and Miller fell smoothly into the low position, behind which was Tinsley, who was deliberately let go by Chen Mu.

β€œPOST!”

Iguodala made a decent tactical gesture at the top of the arc and then sent the basketball to Miller.

The moment he received the ball, Miller was also taken aback, and after his back firmly occupied a favorable position, he couldn't help but glance back at Iguodala, and then at Chen Mu, who was pulling the defense to the weak side and covering Korver, and added a few points to the appreciation of these two hairy boys.

"These two boys, one of them is even better than expected, and the other has a vicious eye, and they can actually see that Andre has the potential to become a playmaker, which is really a good Bole!"

Andre Iguodala, the defensive all-around forward on the roster, began to show his versatility this season, averaging 18.2 points, 2 steals, and 5.7 rebounds per game and a staggering 5.7 assists on the defensive end.

For this, the players and coaches on Chen Mu's timeline may not have much feeling, after all, just a year ago, Iguodala's average of assists per game was only 3.1, which is not very terrifying among the swingmen. It is too early to convince everyone that Iguodala has the potential to be an all-round striker and come close to Pippen's defensive deterrent.

It's just that for Chen Mu, who traveled from the original timeline, Iguodala knows exactly what he can do, to what extent, at what point in time, and how much ability he has.

"Andre, make the most of your gifted vision of the court and your incomparable physical strength!"

Watching Miller eat Tinsley in the low position, and after a while, he scored through his back movements and went back to defense, and the expectations in Chen Mu's heart came to a new high point.

"Tell them, tell fans and commentators around the world that you, Andre Iguodala, have what it takes to be a playmaker in the truest sense of the word!"

The Pacers players obviously haven't recovered from this sudden turn of events, back to the offensive end, a few passes were a bit dazed, and when Granger was about to hoist the ball high into the interior in the ribs, a figure suddenly appeared in the air and jumped high, raised one hand, and grabbed the basketball with a snap.

β€œRUN!”

Iguodala began to play to his amazing physical strengths, and after the encouragement of Chen Mu and Cheeks, he gradually found his positional feeling, and after breaking the basketball, he began to accelerate his dribbling and rush forward like the wind.

"So fast!"

Stephen Jackson, who was following the defense, couldn't keep up with Iguodala's speed, and was dragged far behind. Granger had no choice but to let go of Korver, who was also sprinting forward, and walked quickly to Iguodala to make up for it.

"Whoosh"

However, the moment Granger's defense was in place, Iguodala changed his usual style of rushing hard in the fast break, desperately trying to force the basket, and made a delicate pass with a shake of his right hand. Korver, who was not far away, was already in place, and after receiving the ball, despite Jackson's frantic pursuit behind him, he opened his hand and made a three-point shot.

"Huh"

The basketball entered the net, and the Conseco Arena instantly quieted down, and many fans were puzzled, you look at me, I look at you, it seems that it is very difficult to understand the tactics played by the 76ers players on the court.

"Isn't this Iguodala a fast-attacking arrow, a good finisher? Why did you suddenly become a point guard and make a fast-break pass? ”

This question not only swirled in the minds of the fans, but also instantly appeared in the minds of the Pacers. Jim Carrey on the sidelines...... Ah no, Carlisle was also surprised, watching Iguodala roar back to the defense, high-fived Chen Mu in celebration, his face was full of suspicion.

"Maurice Cheeks, what a thief!"

Organizational forward, a term coined by pioneers of basketball tactical change, will be mentioned again and again in the NBA in the future. Due to the emergence of all-round stars such as LeBron James and Durant, the tactics of controlling the ball by small forwards, using their innate advantages in scoring to create breakthroughs, and forcing the opponent's defensive space to shrink and then send deadly passes have also become the tactical first choice for many teams with super forwards.

In the 76ers, although there is no super forward of LeBron's level, Iguodala definitely has such potential, but it has not been fully developed for various reasons.

Now, Iguodala has an extra time-traveler who knows all about the evolution of NBA tactics in the next decade, and the small forward with the body of a super scorer but a heart for a point guard is finally beginning to show his wings.

"I didn't expect it to be a point guard! Ha ha! ”

After high-fives with Chen Mu, Iguodala couldn't help laughing, and gave Chen Mu a thumbs up and said, "Chen, this idea is a thief!" ”

"Haha, keep the ball well and hit a lightning counterattack!"

Chen Mu was also smiling, knowing that Iguodala had begun to adapt to his new role, and said with a smile: "There will be many rounds like this in the future, after I grab the rebound or send the block, I will pass the ball to you as soon as possible!" ”

The two players who represent the backbone of Philadelphia for the next decade are in a good mood, one in the high post and the other in the low post.

"STEADY, STEADY, CONTINUE IN&OUT!"

Tinsley spoke with his own street-like accent, dribbling and giving tactical set-ups. THE "IN&OUT" IN HIS MOUTH IS ACTUALLY THE "INSIDE-OUT" TACTIC THAT THE FAMOUS DOMESTIC BALL CRITIC COACH ZHANG LIKES TO SAY, AND IN THE CASE THAT THE TEAM HAS A STRONG POINT ON THE INSIDE, USING THIS TACTIC IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE CURRENT PACERS LINEUP.

The basketball was once again passed to O'Neal Jr., feeling Chen Mu's defensive passion that was almost spewing flames behind him, O'Neal Jr. tried to use his strength to take a few steps, and then turned around abruptly and made his best turning shot.

"Dididi!"

I don't know if it was disturbed by the 76ers' tactical mutation, although O'Neal's shot was not too problematic, but in the face of Chen Mu's raised hands, he failed to hit, and the basketball smashed out of the frame.

"Grab the rebound in the front court and launch a secondary attack!"

O'Neal Jr. is also a rebounding maniac who has grabbed more than 3 frontcourt rebounds per game on average this season, and his solid positioning skills, coupled with his innate physical advantages, make him look like an ancient monster in the frontcourt penalty area, grabbing rebounds like a bag.

In the confrontation before, O'Neal Jr. relied on the advantage of the card position to find a good opportunity, and after firmly blocking Chen Mu, he took off the rebound and completed the top dunk.

Although his physical fitness has declined, especially the serious decline in bullet speed, this has given O'Neal Jr. a better chance to grab rebounds. There was almost no jump when he turned around and jumped, which meant that after the shot, O'Neal Jr. did not have to wait until he landed to adjust his pace, but could directly go to the inside position.

However, this time, just as O'Neill Jr. was about to sprint inside, the Chinese kid in front of him was motionless.

"This kid...... Not ready to grab a rebound......?! ”

Little O'Neal was startled, this time Chen Mu didn't even turn around to face the basket, just stared at Little O'Neal's footsteps with his eyes, and opened his hands to the front position. It was as if the basketball was still in O'Neal's hands and was about to slap him away.

Just when little O'Neill struggled to wrestle with Chen Mu and was puzzled by his behavior, behind Chen Mu, a black shadow rose up in the sky, stretched out his long arms, and the whole person suddenly jumped up like a bird, almost grabbing the rebound above Chen Mu's head.

It wasn't until this moment that little O'Neill completely understood what tricks Chen Mu was playing.

"This kid deliberately didn't grab the rebound, and stuck my movement path with his body, and he didn't have the slightest idea of grabbing the rebound by himself! The one who really grabbed the rebound was Iguodala! ”

"Hey, hey, have you reacted~?"

Seeing little O'Neill's shock, Chen Mu smiled sheepishly, nodded slightly, and said, "But, it's too late~"

On the offensive end, Iguodala grabbed the rebound and began to sprint to the front court like a supercar as soon as he landed.

On his side, Korver and Carney, who had just come on the court, formed two wingmen, a classic three-line fast break was formed, all three of them had three-point ability, Iguodala and Carney also had the physical fitness to be able to fly up and dunk from others, this time the fast break was simply unstoppable!

"Bang!"

With Iguodala's empty pass, Carney flew up like a swift, grabbed the basketball in the air, and smashed it into the basket.

The basketball that passed through the basket fell and smashed unbiased on Granger, who came to make up for the defense, causing the latter to curse, only to think that Carney did it on purpose.

"You kid, don't you even want rebounding stats?!"

Before O'Neal Jr. returned to half court, the 76ers' lightning-fast offense was over. When he turned around and saw Chen Mu's evil smile, he couldn't help but say: "In order to let the team push the fast attack, in order to let Iguodala control the ball and advance, that's why I deliberately stuck and didn't let me compete for the frontcourt rebound, the purpose is to give full play to Iguodala's full potential?!" ”

"The analysis is on point." Chen Mu smiled easily, high-fived Iguodala who came back to the defense, and nodded: "You should also know that I am a victory maniac." ”

"In order to win, I won't blink an eye at any sacrifice~"

Leaving these words, Chen Mu returned to the basket and opened his hands and roared loudly. The whole 76ers team also seemed to be very comfortable with the Chinese kid's strategy, and responded with a roar of anger.

Only little O'Neill stood alone near his ribs, as if he hadn't heard Tinsley's shout behind him at all, with a stunned look, looking at Chen Mu's fighting spirit, he shook his head helplessly.

"Chinese boy, what an opponent not to be underestimated!" (To be continued.) )
