"Want to run an airline in Philadelphia? Sorry, no-fly here! ”

With an earth-shattering cap, Chen Mu couldn't help but put on a fork after landing on the ground, stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and faced Delong, revealing a demonic smile.

"This guy ......!"

Although it is only his second season, he has played at the University of Illinois for three years, and he has made great progress every year, and deep down he still has high expectations for himself.

"Chris Paul? The dribble is good, the combination of man and ball is good, much like the style of the Assassins. But I'm Deron Williams, and I'm definitely not going to lose to him! ”

As one of the 05 point guard duo, DeLong's starting point is far less than Paul's, and in his first season under Sloan's control, he averaged less than 29 minutes per game, and his average data per game was not amazing.

But at that time, many sharp-eyed ball critics believed that Delong's physical fitness foundation was better than Paul's, especially in terms of "unteachable" height, which had an incomparable advantage.

A strong body, keen insight, all-round skills, and a style of using footwork on the defensive end are all reminiscent of Jason Kidd, the historic point guard who is currently providing subtle assists to various unknown players in New Jersey day in and day out.

In fact, when Delon debuted, many people set his NBA template as "Jason Kidd who can jump shot", which shows the high expectations for him.

And this season, it is the season when Delon began to break out in full force, and Delon who has been suppressed for a season is like a fish in water under Sloan's system, and he averages 16 points and 9.3 assists per game in the not fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

In the first regular season game against the Houston Rockets, Delon scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 assists. Alston, the street ball king opposite, also scored 15 points, but the shooting rate was less than 40%, and the assist was only 4.

Coupled with Boozer, who scored 24 points and 19 rebounds, and was quasi-"double twenty" data, the Jazz easily defeated the Rockets in the first game of the season, drawing the first grudge between the two teams in the playoffs in the future.

"Chinese kid, he actually risked me twice in one game!"

Delong's anger rose in his heart, and he couldn't wait to grow 20 centimeters taller immediately and humiliate Chen Mu under the basket.

Unfortunately, facts are facts, and Deron Williams, who is about to embark on the road to stardom, suffered a heavy blow in the first away game of the outbreak season.

The unselected rookie Chen Mu used two face-to-face, hard-hitting blocks to cover the future All-Star backcourt. The rapid improvement of defensive ability is staggering, and it has improved the morale of the 76ers again.

"Good Ball !!"

Fans chanted, from the beginning of the new season to the present, Chen Mu has changed the embarrassment of the defensive leak last season, and has continued to make wonderful performances on the defensive end, and has supported Philadelphia's defensive network with Iguodala.

The game continued, and Delong, who was continuously blocked by Chen Mu, was slightly shaken in his heart, and made several irrational choices, which led to the Jazz's offense being chaotic.

The 76ers took advantage of the momentum to counterattack and played a wonderful combination in a row, Iguodala and Chen Mu took turns bombing the basket, running in place in an attack, and the two even performed a long-haven't seen "continuous back pass" stunt, and finally Korver hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner.

At halftime, the 76ers' lead came to 10 points, 51-41, and the Jazz's change of formation was a complete failure.

In the second half, Sloan's shortcomings in on-court response gradually showed, and the team once again played a classic blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, but Deron was not Stockton, and Boozer was far from Malone. Several times, the 76ers judged that they intended to steal early, but the point difference became wider and wider.

On the other hand, Cheeks, who has always been a bit stubborn, began to open his mind, repeatedly used strange tricks, and started an endless wit show with Sloan.

The Jazz sent a starter to block and dismantle, and the 76ers counterattacked with half-time pressing and local packing.

The Jazz changed to a young player impact, and the 76ers replaced the interior combination of Hunter and Chen Mu to form a Philadelphia no-fly zone, and the ball flew one by one.

By the end of the third quarter, the 76ers had a 15-point lead at home, and the game gradually lost its suspense.

"Toot-"

The final whistle blew, and the 76ers, who were expected to be infinitely degraded in the new season, rejuvenated and started the season with two straight home wins.

"Chen! Old! Old! Old! ”

The audience resounded with continuous shouts, from fans to players, all chanting Chen Mu's name, cheering for this amazing Chinese boy.

17 points, 14 rebounds, clock-in 4 assists, plus 5 blocks. Last season's defensive colander has changed dramatically and has become a gatekeeper under the Philadelphia basket, and any player who wants to come to the Philadelphia basket to do his job has to weigh how many pounds and taels he has, whether it is enough for Chen Mu and Hunter to share the food.

"When was the last time Philadelphia had such a terrifying no-fly zone?"

In the last game of last season, the old fans who had grabbed Chen Mu tightly by the players' tunnel were still wearing Dr. J jerseys, and their eyes were almost flashing with tears.

"Is it Deacon Bay's 2000, or Moses' 82?"

Looking at the retired jerseys fluttering over the field, the hearts of the old fans beat violently, and the players on the field could call him grandpa, but decades later, he once again felt that shocking impulse.

"Philadelphia, it's really going to rise!"

After the game, Su Yin's congratulatory text message arrived as scheduled, and after being interviewed by reporters, Chen Mu and Iguodala walked to the equipment room again and began post-game training.

"Chen, I'm thinking about something."

Halfway through the practice, Iguodala, the devil muscleman, completed the rated training volume at super speed, walked to Chen Mu's side sweating profusely, and said, "You say, how far can we go this season?" ”

"Whew...... I don't know, ......."

Chen Mu pushed the instrument and said, "But I know that if you talk to me again, my lungs will probably explode." ”

"Haha, you push yourself, I'm just thinking about it."

Iguodala smiled: "Last season, in fact, our lineup was not bad, Allen was still at the peak, Kyle and I were perfect partners, Chris and Steven were also biased to attack and defend, and the 'phase' was very good." ”

"But I don't know why, everything didn't go well, everybody wanted to win, but it was just a breath of air. Especially at the beginning of the season, the consecutive defeats knocked us out of our spirits, and it wasn't until you came to the team that it started to change. ”

"This year, Chris has slipped down, but your progress is obvious, and Kyle and I have developed new moves. When Samuel returns, our starters will definitely not lose to any Eastern team! Iguodala's eyes flashed with anticipation, and he smiled, "If we try hard enough, maybe ......"

"Whew...... Don't think about it so much just yet. ”

Finally finished the practice, Chen Mu gasped and responded: "Train yourself well, don't drag the team back, throw all the goals that should be scored, and prevent all the points that should not be lost, this is what we should do, isn't it?" ”

"You're right." Iguodala nodded and said, "But people, there must be some ideals, haha~"

"So, what is your ideal?" Chen Mu looked back with interest and asked, "Become an all-star?" Become an MVP? Or lead the team to win the championship? ”

"That's something Aaron should be thinking about." Iguodala shook his head and said, "I know my personality very well, and I prefer to completely block the opponent's attack point rather than a violent dunk or a lore. Seeing those scoring masters eating deflated, it's much more refreshing than scoring~"

Chen Mu was happy when he heard this, remembering the future development trajectory of Iguodala in the original timeline, and couldn't help but sigh that it was really character that determined fate.

clearly has the physical fitness and ball sense that can become the next Dr. J, but he is never greedy for merit on the court, and he is diligent and diligent in being the second in the millennium. Even in the time since Iverson was traded, he has unlimited firing rights, and he has never averaged more than 20 points per game.

Andrea Iguodala, that's how capricious!

After the training, Chen Mu said goodbye to Iguodala, made an appointment to fight again in the equipment room the next day, and then returned home.

Sending text messages with Su Yin, Chen Mu's mind was full of thoughts.

He vaguely remembered that in the original timeline, Iverson was traded just over a month after the start of the season. At that time, it caused a lot of shock, and the Philadelphia 76ers plummeted and became a fish belly for many years, but they never set off any waves.

Trading, will it still happen?

In Chen Mu's heart, he is 10,000 unwilling, if the transaction is completed, it will indeed be a good thing for him personally, needless to say, he also knows that the core of Philadelphia in the future will definitely be him and Iguodala. With more possession, his stats and on-court performance will definitely go to the next level, and his small position in the NBA will become more and more secure.

However, the friendship bond with Iverson made Chen Mu reluctant, as Chen Mu, who grew up watching the 96 generation play, Iverson is almost a symbol of the 76ers. Can a 76ers team without Iverson still count as the pride of Philadelphia?

And are you ready to take on greater responsibilities on the court?

"Jingle Bells"

While thinking about it, Chen Mu's mobile phone rang again, and he opened the text message with joy, and when he saw the content sent by Su Yin, Chen Mu was stunned.

"Brother Mu...... What's going on here? ”

What's going on??

Chen Mu chuckled in his heart, and an ominous premonition rose, and before he could come back to his senses, the phone rang.

"Hey, Duffy, what's wrong?"

The caller was Chen Mu's agent Duffy, who picked up the phone, but Duffy, who has always been in a hurry to speak, sighed and muttered for a long time before he spoke: "Chen, watch TV, ESPN." ”

Hurriedly turned on the TV and tuned to ESPN, Chen Mu only glanced at it, and was completely stunned.

The TV shows a bustling bar with young men and women walking back and forth, and the dance floor filled with singing.

In the far corner of the camera, a large, yellow-skinned man is sitting on a booth, holding a glass of test-tube wine in his hand, tilting his head and pouring it into his throat. (To be continued.) )
