Chapter 163: Wishful Thinking (I)
Dough Reaves, born in 1961, played thirteen seasons in the NBA as a point guard. Now he led the Celtics Big Three to win the championship, and later led the Clippers to rise to the top of the coaching experience, but many fans may not know that this square face, nicknamed by Chinese fans, is enough to make him remembered in history during his playing career.
During his three seasons at Marquette University, he ...... Ah no, Coach Reaves, who has been named to the All-American Team and has been named the tour's Most Valuable Player, has been in the limelight for a while.
In the 1982 World Men's Basketball Championship, Reaves, who represented the national team, averaged 18.6 points and 4.1 assists per game, and was the team's leading scorer. led the team all the way to the final, and lost by the last point to the Soviet team, which was quite strong at that time.
Even after losing the game, Reeves' performance still conquered fans and critics around the world, and he was successfully elected as the MVP of the World Championship, which added a strong touch to Reeves' playing career.
In the subsequent NBA journey, Reaves also played well, was selected as an All-Star, averaged two doubles per game in the season, and was a legendary point guard in the history of the Hawks.
On the other side, Morris Cheeks doesn't need much introduction, the legendary point guard of the 76ers, the elf-like court engine, it is worth noting that Cheeks, who was born in 1956, actually had a lot of unclear competitions and battles with Reeves on the court before he became a coach.
To use an inappropriate analogy, this situation is like ten or twenty years later, Kidd and Nash, who have become coaches, scolding Fang Xuan on the side of the court, and the victory is thousands of miles away, and the old fans will pat their heads and say to the young fans around them:
"See? Two coaches of the two teams, one with a bald head and one with long hair, those two? They turned out to be legends, and when we first watched the game, they were all the best assisters in the league! ”
It's just that Cheeks and Reeves don't have enough "star flavor", so few people mention these old stories now.
Back to the pitch.
was scored by Chen Mu's crushing dunk. Scala Bryan was angry and helpless, and Coach Reaves told him before the game that his mission was to get on the court in the transition and use his experience and range to "teach Arundson" to the 76ers' bench interior lineman. Stretch out the court and give the young players on the perimeter a chance to hit the basket.
But where would he have thought that when he stepped on the court with great ambition and wanted to show off his three-point shot to his juniors, it was not Amunderson on the other side at all. It's Chen Mu, a Chinese kid who has regained his strength after a substitution and rests, and his eyes are full of anger like a half-orc!
"What a bad luck ......!"
Thinking about it for a long time, Scala Bryan could only curse softly, shook his head and threw himself into the attack.
The Celtics attacked, and the two sharp blades full of talent in the backcourt were already impatient, and Telfil swept across the field like a gale, and the combination of other balls that played street ball was so good that even Louis Williams, who was very fast, could not keep up.
A quick swoop, a crotch pull back at the top of the arc, and a sprint again at a moment when Williams' leaky defense was in disarray, Telfil "passed" Williams like a passing fart. dashing towards the inside line, then with a wave of one hand.
The basketball was passed to Tony Allen, and Willie Green, who was defending against him, knew that Tony Allen had no three-point ability, so he let go of a big step away with confidence, and the posture of defending and not shooting made Tony Allen very uncomfortable.
At this time, a nimble goat-like player on the wing sprinted, Tony Allen did not hesitate, and after receiving the basketball, the goat was like a sports car filled with gas. Two big strides down, then suddenly flew up, only the basket in his eyes.
"I'll make up for it!"
Joe Smith's legs were too slow to stop Gerard Green from bombing the basket. Chen Mu shouted and stepped forward, his hands raised high and jumped at the same time, and he stopped between Green and the basket.
However, the bouncing height of the nine-fingered god buckle Gerald Green far exceeded Chen Mu's imagination, and after he flew up, he actually forcibly made a pulling action in the air and pulled the basketball down. The body continued to fly forward, almost flying sideways from Chen Mu's side.
"What kind of bounce power is this......?!!"
Chen Mu was startled, and by the time he landed, Green had already lifted the basketball high again and smashed it into the basket.
“UNBELIEVABLE! GERALD――GREEEEEEEEN!!! ”
The DJ shouted wildly, the fans roared with joy, and Gerard Green stared at his right hand arrogantly, as if he was looking at a hand of God, looking up to the sky and roaring.
"What you see in reality is really different from what you see on TV!"
Seeing Green almost jumping back to the defense, Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
"Gerard Green's ability to stay in the air is simply beyond the limits of human beings!"
Sending out the baseline ball, Chen Mu ran quickly to the front court, and when he passed by a young player, he said quietly and quickly: "Run to the basket!" ”
Hearing Chen Mu's words, Rodni Kani was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and the energy in his eyes to compete with Tiangong was completely stimulated, and he nodded heavily: "GOTIT!" ”
What's so great about being able to fly? We also have a trapeze in the team!
Chen Mu stopped at the top of the arc and made a covering move, Louis Williams understood that he would rush to the side around the screen, and then quickly passed back, and Chen Mu received the ball smoothly at the free throw line.
Although Scala Brien's body is not good, his brain is still very good, and in an instant, he reacted that Chen Mu had a six-vein divine sword-like mid-shot, and immediately stepped forward to block it.
Who knew that the basketball in Chen Mu's hand was not lifted above his head at all, but made a movement similar to a volleyball lift, throwing the ball to the side of the basket with both hands, and then turned back to defend without looking.
"Uh-huh......?!"
Before Scalabrien could react, he heard a gust of wind in his ears, followed by the sound of a step on the ground, and when he looked back, he saw that Carney had already flown up, stretched out in the air, and although it was a move made without the ball, it seemed that he could already see what was going to happen in half a second.
"Bang!"
Empty re-buckle!
Carney stretched his body after landing on the ground, then stared at Gerard Green, who completed the dunk, and then imitated the latter's previous movements. With one nostril, he looked at his right hand in surprise, and he clearly said:
"Isn't it just a dunk, who wouldn't be like that!"
It's a terrible stare. The adrenaline in Gerald Green's body was secreted rapidly, and his head was completely entrenched by the thought of "getting it back" in an instant, and he said loudly to Telfil without looking back: "Sebas!" Give me the ball! ”
Hearing Green's roar, a player like Telfil who was born on the street could not understand the reason, and nodded heavily: "You will play singles in the next round!" ”
Get the promise of Telfil. Green rushed forward like an angry goat, his eyes fixed on Carney, and he was desperate to fight him.
After receiving the pass, Green made several dribble adjustments, and Carney's physical fitness was not as good as Green's overall fitness, but it was not far behind, and he was not easily thrown away.
The continuous change of direction failed, Green was a little anxious, ignoring the instructions sent back by Telfil on the side, Gu Zifu bored his head and slammed into the inward half a step. Then he stepped back to collect the ball, and opened his hand to make a three-point shot.
"Hey, there's a rebound to grab~"
Under the basket, Chen Mu seemed to have expected all this, looked at the green ring in front of him and jumped easily, grabbed the rebound, and turned around to launch a quick counterattack.
On the left, Carney, who defended Green, was already activated, and on the right, Willie Green, who was defending Tony Allen, also started to run. With Tony Allen not a three-point threat, Willie Green was positioned a little further back. Although he started almost at the same time as Carney, he was still left behind.
Theoretically, at this time, Chen Mu's pass is best given to Carney, who can easily dunk it. But for some reason, Chen Mu seemed to have a sudden short-circuit in his brain, and actually gave the ball directly to Willy Green.
Willy Green, who received the basketball, was also stunned, and then immediately shook off Tony Allen with a behind-the-back dribble, and began to accelerate under the latter's extremely pressing sideways defense.
Tony Allen's defense was very precocious and showed no flaws. The advantage of size allowed him to completely block Willy Green's passing lane. Green had no choice but to break through by himself and make a sharp stop under the basket, the trajectory drawn by the basketball was very unreliable, but the referee's whistle had already sounded.
"Celtic No. 42, batter foul!"
Tony Allen, who was whistled for a foul, was very puzzled, and turned back to pressure the referee's continuous fragments, with a look of disbelief on his face.
That's right, when Willy Green made a move, he used his experience of one more year to make a move to rub against Tony Allen. But Allen was sure he didn't touch Green's arm, just some physical contact, and the ball blew for a foul with some reluctance.
As Green stood on the free throw line, Chen Mu, who was about to grab a rebound under the basket, smiled slightly, looked at Tony Allen, who was still complaining to the referee from time to time and was already a little annoyed, and nodded in his heart.
"Luckily, if I hadn't been whistled for a foul, I would have lost!"
Chen Mu looked at it, and at this time on the court, Gerard Green was indignant, and he couldn't stop exchanging trash talk with Carney. Tony Allen was still chattering with the referee, and if he hadn't been at home, he would have been whistled for a technical foul.
By Tony Allen's side, Telfil kept tugging at the former, telling him not to be bored. It is not difficult to see from the somewhat impatient expression on Telfil's face that the point guard is also already restless and a little unhappy.
Scala Bryan gasped, standing beside Chen Mu and also preparing to grab a possible rebound, obviously not paying much attention to defending Chen Mu's offense.
"So the last ......"
Looking at Ryan Gomez, who was still calm, the little devil in Chen Mu's heart grew sharp horns again, and made a look with Joe Smith, who nodded lightly, indicating that the message had been received.
"As long as Gomez's normal heart is broken, the situation of the transition stage will be completely controlled by us......
Chen Mu's wishful thinking has just begun. (To be continued.) )
