Amway Center, Orlando.

The Philadelphia 76ers took on the Orlando Magic at halftime with the 76ers taking a nine-point lead. The main core of the team, big forward Chen Mu, scored 19 points and 8 rebounds in the half, and the block assist naturally did not fall, and once again delivered a wonderful performance in the first half.

"There is hope for 30+ today!"

Seeing the technical statistics of the half, Iguodala was very excited to find that his friend had played extremely well, and said with a smile while patting Chen Mu's shoulder: "Continue to play for you in the second half, do you want to try to break the personal scoring record?" ”

Although Iguodala's proposal was very tempting, Chen Mu knew that it was not realistic, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "It's better to focus on victory, data or something, it's not too late to talk about it after the victory has been decided~"

"That's a good point."

Cheeks walked up to the two good friends, glanced at Chen Mu with appreciation, and continued: "Philadelphia basketball has never been a competition of data, if it really affects the process of the game for the sake of data, wouldn't it just fall into the hands of that guy?" ”

Who "that guy" in Cheeks' words is, he doesn't need to say it to the players.

"Billykin, do you like to mess around? Want Greg Auden a lot? ”

Recalling Billikin's pressure on himself, his teammates, and even the coach again and again, the anger in Chen Mu's heart was ignited again, and he clenched his fists and thought secretly:

"I'm a paranoid triumphant ......!"

In fact, in addition to the spirit of sacrificing everything for the team to win, the reason why Chen Mu did not directly agree with Iguodala's suggestion to brush points (Iguodala: I'm joking, Lao Tzu is also a victory maniac, don't believe you look at my career data...... And for another reason.

That's the natural weakness of big men in the modern basketball system.

At the time of basketball's invention, and even for most of its development, the big man was the true master of the three-dimensional game.

Even during the period when Jordan ruled the league, if it weren't for the fact that God's ability was too rebellious, it was conceivable that the league would still be the world of big players.

What really makes the big man lose that kind of dominance. The first is the change of rules, the second is the strengthening of the overall physical fitness of the players, especially the running and jumping quality, the third is the continuous evolution of the outside marksman, and the fourth is the emergence of a large number of all-round players.

These four reasons are in no particular order. In the future, if there is no other giant like O'Neal at his peak, who can completely dismantle the opponent with one hand around the three-second zone, the new generation of power forwards in line with the development route of modern basketball. It should be years before he enters the league - like Anthony Davis.

All this makes the pace of NBA games faster and faster, and big men need more to have the ability to directly attack the basket with the ball on the move. Don't you see that in the Warriors team that won the championship in your timeline, the most powerful back-to-back singles on the team is actually David Lee, who hasn't played once on the bench for 10,000 years, didn't he sweep the league just like that?

Of course, in the scorching stages of the game, especially at the beginning of the game, at the start of the half, or after a long timeout, the importance of back-to-back singles is self-evident. To put it simply. The meaning of back-to-back singles has gradually evolved from "the most effective means of scoring" to "a strategic weapon that must be put on the table when the tactical game of both sides".

Because of this, LeBron James will always be blown up by the previous generation of super interior players before practicing back-to-back singles, and it will be difficult for Durant to shake LeBron's supremacy before he has a reliable back-to-back play.

The reason for all this is because at the critical moment of the change of the battle situation and the tactical game, the focus of changing the situation is to play alone.

So that question that bothers a lot of fans. That is, "they are all saying that basketball is changing, and the importance of the interior is decreasing, but why do modern all-around superstars still have to come to the offseason." just swarmed to find the big dream to send money", the answer is obvious.

Back-to-back singles is the nuclear weapon of this era, the biggest strategic deterrent on the basketball court.

And Chen Mu's judgment on the upper limit of his score in this game is also based on this.

'It was good at half-time, but it's not something that hasn't happened before. It's not just me, it's almost every offensive big man in the league who has been in a similar situation to some extent, with the exception of Dirk, perhaps. ”

Looking at the data statistics table, Chen Mu's heart was already like a mirror.

"I started with a lot of energy, both sides were in a tentative period, and I could score in a row. The opponent has a low post defensive hole, and during a short interval, he can score continuously. In the tactical adjustment phase, when you make a key attack, you can score points continuously. But it's really hard to keep scoring in the low post all the time. ”

Needless to say, Chen Mu, even Yao Ming at this time, has encountered a hot opening performance many times, but in the subsequent game, due to the tactical adjustment of the opposing coach, as well as the decline in physical strength, the passing problems of teammates, etc., he couldn't get the damn ball alive or dead, and finally failed to create a terrifying scoring record.

Just like against the Warriors, Chen Mu's opening performance was generally good, but as the game deepened, the opposing coach would definitely make corresponding adjustments, and it would become more and more difficult for his teammates to make the ball for him. Chen Mu, who dribbles poorly, does not have the ability to hold the ball in the backcourt, how many points can he score, in addition to his personal hand continuation, there are many difficulties in front of him.

"Everyone has heard it, what Chen just said is very reasonable, we are here to win the game, not to brush the data."

Cheeks gathered the players around and said, "Not just in Orlando, but in any city in the United States, even if we have to play overseas one day, we have only one goal, and that is to win!" ”

"In the second half, Bryan will definitely use Howard to continue to target Chen, and it is estimated that he will also use local packs and co-defense to limit Chen's play. When the time comes, we will continue to see the moves, let Chen contain the defense, and the outside players will give full play to their advantages in mobility and find ways to knock the situation from the outside. As for rebounding......"

Chicks stretched out his hand and patted Chen Mu's shoulder, and said confidently: "I'll leave it to Chen to deal with!" ”

The halftime break ended quickly, and by the time the two sides were back in action, the Magic team had made changes to the lineup.

Howard, Turkoglou, Ariza, Hill, Nelson, this lineup has been removed from Barty. The overall height has not decreased much because of this. In particular, the three players in the No. 3, 4 and 5 positions have the ability to change defenses infinitely, and this forward combination has both speed and skill, which looks difficult to deal with.

"Beep!"

The referee blows the whistle. At the beginning of the second half, the 76ers possessed the ball, and the Magic gave a defensive strategy similar to that of a joint defense.

Howard is eyeing the basket, although it is the last gate of the team, but the defensive focus is obviously more inclined to the side where Chen Mu is.

Medium distance on both sides of the ribs. Tekoglu and Ariza roamed around, with Hill and Nelson on the perimeter targeted, a defensive formation that somewhat abandons the bottom corner three-point line, but can really be pinched in the middle. The center area under the basket of the Amway Center Arena has become a meat grinder that cannot see the light of day, vowing to let the Chinese boy who played well in the first half have no return.

After several transmissions and failed to find a chance to pass the ball to Chen Mu, there was little time left for the attack, and Miller no longer hesitated, and began to run after passing the ball to Iguodala.

Iguodala is at the top of the arc, with an aging Hill in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Hill's position a little forward, and suddenly began to accelerate and sprint.

"Bang"

Just as Iguodala was about to burst under the free throw line, Hill took a step sideways at a delicate point in time to block the route, and after the two collided, Hill fell to the ground, Crawford's whistle blew, and Iguodala fouled him.

"He's not standing still!"

Iguodala was furious, probably staying by Chen Mu's side for a long time, and even the expression when he complained to the referee was the same. Where would Crawford eat this set. The sharp little eyes glared, and warned Iguodala to stop immediately, otherwise the big stick in his mouth ...... Uh, the big whistle. There will be no mercy.

Frustrated back to the defense, the Magic began to attack, Nelson passed the ball to Hill, and when the Magic tactics ran out and the position was determined, the 76ers players were surprised to find out. The other party actually put on a typical organizational forward position!

"Hill is the main control point, and if he can't break through, he can switch positions with Turkoglu at any time, two above-average shooting points, paired with an outside gun (Nelson), and a fast-break arrow (Ariza), supplemented by Howard's rebounds and singles under the basket. This lineup ......"

Cheeks' eyes flashed, although Brian Hill is not good at arranging any exquisite tactics, but the grasp of the player's individual ability is still in place, and the arrangement is very targeted.

Hill held the ball, Howard no longer tangled with Hunter in the low post, came to the free throw line to constantly cover, and Tekoglu, Ariza, and Nelson continued to use Howard's body to run. Just as all the 76ers were staring at the trio's run, ready to make up for their teammates, Hill started to kick in.

The first step, which was no longer fast, Hill rushed towards the free throw line, and Howard barely moved half a step after making three off-ball screens, giving Hill a fourth screen on the spot.

At this time, Korver was turning sideways to make up for Ariza who was shuttling quickly in a SHOW way, and before he could recover, a gust of wind blew in his ears.

Bypassing the cover, Hill rushed into the inside, Hunter and Chen Mu were pulled out of the restricted area by their respective opponents under the basket, the 76ers opened wide open under the basket, Hill jumped up one step, lifted the basketball with one hand, flew to the basket like a flying cloud, and dunked successfully.

"Brian Hill actually laid out such a complicated tactic!"

After sending out the baseline ball, Iguodala shook his head, but Chen Mu beside him said: "No, this is not Brian Hill's tactic. ”

Looking at Hill's chic and elegant defensive steps, Chen Mu sighed lightly and said: "Brian Hill just gave the initial layout, and the subsequent moves and strategies are all temporary running routes built by the players relying on their own basketball wisdom. This is a reflection of Grant Hill's personal ability......! ”

Devil's Hill Grant Hill, with the most elegant violence, interprets what is called all-round basketball in the 90s.

Attacking again, the 76ers still couldn't find a way to break the defense, Korver continued to run in the bottom corners on both sides, and Hill and Nelson's defense followed. The sharpshooter couldn't find space in the bottom corner, and after coming to the wing, he caught the ball with some frustration, and the basketball couldn't hit.

"Back to the defense!"

Before Miller could finish shouting, Hill was already jumping high to grab the rebound, turned around and began to dive. After advancing with the ball, Chen Mu and Iguodala came to the frontcourt, and Chen Mu and Iguodala were already in good standing.

"Come on!"

The two good defenders, one inside and one outside, were not distracted at all, staring at Hill's movements. The latter made a simple emergency stop and then accelerated under his crotch, giving way to Iguodala half of his body, and then jumped from the ribs to the basket, Chen Mu raised his hands high and jumped at the same time, aiming for a big cap.

"Whoosh"

With a sudden hand-to-hand pass, Hill made a staggering move in the air, and the basketball was closed, and after a circle around his waist, he passed from his left hand to his right hand, and then stabbed diagonally to the outside of the three-point line.

“BOOM！”

As the DJ shouted, Nelson hit an arrogant three-pointer, his mouth was stubborn, his right hand kept his shooting stance, and slowly stepped back.

Hill's face did not change, and after landing on the ground, he retreated like a civet, and his face was as calm as water. (To be continued.) )
