Chen Mu missed two free throws, and this was the first time in the playoffs stage and in the memories of fans.

At the beginning of his career, Chen Mu's free throws were even worse than they are now. In Phoenix's short time, Chen Mu's free throw shooting rate was less than 50 percent.

At one time, many people thought that Chen Mu should be a poor man's version, or a bankrupt version of Howard: a player with quite good physical talent and potential for improvement on the defensive end, but the touch, shooting and other details on the offensive end are quite bad.

After that, Chen Mu's skills continued to improve, and the free throw shooting rate gradually increased from less than half to the top.

50 percent, 53 percent, 58 percent, 61 percent, 66 percent......

If Chen Mu's career is divided into months, Chen Mu's free throw shooting percentage will increase slightly every month. Now on the stage of the 2008-2009 playoffs, Chen Mu's free throw shooting rate is 69 percent.

This statistic, which is not very bad for an interior player, at least will not be the target of shark slashing tactics.

A 69 percent free throw percentage means that there are basically more than two out of three free throws. In this way, the probability of two free throws is quite low, and the simplest calculation method is to calculate only from the two free throws themselves, regardless of factors such as the continuity of the free throws before and after.

Sixty-nine percent of the goals will go in, so thirty-one percent of the goals won't go in. Missing two free throws is just two consecutive free throws, both of which fall into the 31 percent non-score. Multiplication, the probability of occurrence is 9.6%.

One hundred times of two free throws, Chen Mu will only miss nine points and six two free throws, this probability is really low.

Now, shortly after the start of the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chen Mu missed two free throws. Amid a sigh in the stands, many fans began to discuss with each other:

Chen Mu's hand. Is there really any injury that has not healed?

"......!"

Chen Mu himself also shook his head with a secret curse, and when he made a move, he could clearly feel that his right hand was very wrong.

The pain caused by injuries is only one aspect, and this level of injury is definitely not a big injury for NBA players. How many players continue to fight with similar injuries, and Chen Mu is not even unable to bear this injury.

The problem is that the psychological impact of injuries is simply too great.

Chen Mu is not a pitcher, but mid-range shooting is one of his main ways to score. As an interior player who struggles for a living under the basket, free throws are also an essential part of the game.

Before making a move. Chen Mu was already thinking in his mind: his fingers are injured, and the angle is difficult to adjust, so he must deviate his palm to the left a little, and control the basketball route by changing the shooting posture...... And so on and so forth.

The more I think about these trivial problems, the more unstable the shooting posture becomes, and the final result is that Chen Mu's shooting is almost invalid.

Under the Celtics' basket, Garnett jumped high to pick up the rebound. Boston Offensive. Rondo and Pierce teamed up, and after receiving the ball on the weak side, Truth made a tentative step and hit the trademark step-back jumper, and the Boston Celtics continued to score points on the road.

6 to 0!

Vajovia let out a sigh. Fans thought that the Celtics would definitely make targeted adjustments in the second game, and it would be difficult for Chen Mu to maintain the god-killing state in the first game. After all, it is the boss of the Eastern Gate, if it is taken down by the 76ers who lost Korver so easily. That's too humiliating.

But what fans didn't expect was that this adjustment came so quickly and so directly. Directly to Chen Mu from the opening to the present, he has not scored a goal at all!

At first, it was the outside players who failed to send the ball to Chen Mu smoothly, and the Celtics counterattacked with consecutive mistakes. After that, Chen Mu finally won a foul and missed two free throws.

What happened to the Philadelphia 76ers today?

Why is it so deranged? Is there something going on that we don't know about?

In front of the Celtics, their arch-rivals for many years, the Philadelphia 76ers seem to have completely lost themselves in a suffocating defense. In the subsequent game, there were many mistakes, and it was not easy to get a vacant opportunity through Chen Mu's containment.

Chen Mu was treated with sandwich biscuits, and Rao judged the landing point, but he couldn't catch the offensive rebound.

And only Chen Mu himself knows that if his rebounding count does not increase, he will not be able to touch the trigger conditions of the MVP-level badge.

With multiples of less than 10, there is no way to fully see where basketball is going. In this kind of encirclement and suppression situation, without the help of basketball towards the flames, even Chen Mu would not be able to complete the frontcourt fight and win the rebound.

The exclusive badge of MVP, which Chen Mu has roughly studied, seems to grow as the number of times he gets the MVP increases. Maybe after a few more seasons, if Chen Mu can win more MVP awards, the exclusive badge will evolve to trigger the flame path every 8 rebounds. After that, it may even be shorter, 5 times, 3 times......

At that time, Chen Mu's rebounding can be said to be truly unique in the world.

Just imagine, if evolution reaches the end, you can see the flame path when every ball is thrown, Chen Mu can become a rebounding vacuum cleaner on the court, and almost every ball will be in his pocket.

How horrible must it be to get to that point?

Not now.

Now, you still have to rely on your own efforts to ......!

"Huh!"

After another futile offensive hit in the frontcourt, the Boston Celtics launched a counterattack, and Ray Allen was silent for a long time before hitting a three-point shot.

"14 to 0! The Philadelphia 76ers were beaten by the Celtics at home with a 14-0 attack wave! Philadelphia is in trouble, Philadelphia is in trouble!! ”

“TIMEOUT！”

Amid Smith's shouts, Barkley's grunts of dissatisfaction, and the disappointed sighs of the fans, Carlisle called a timeout again.

By the time he was beaten 8-0, Carlisle had already called a timeout uncharacteristically. But after that timeout, Philadelphia's tactical movement was more refined, but the Celtics' defense also added another notch.

Physical contact became more and more frequent, especially around Chen Mu, Perkins and Garnett made a tight defense, and from time to time intentionally or unintentionally collided with Chen Mu's injured right fingers. The scene was almost completely out of control, and the Philadelphia 76ers were like drowning people, desperately reaching out to look at the water, but unable to control their bodies, and could only let gravity carry them into the deep sea.

The Philadelphia 76ers are in deep danger.

"Chen, how's it going?"

Coming to the bench, Carlisle glanced at the scoreboard, and the 0 score behind the Philadelphia 76ers name was particularly glaring. There is about half of the first quarter remaining, which means that the Philadelphia 76ers have not scored a single point in the past five minutes or so.

This will never work, we must find a solution to the problem......!

"It's okay, it's just painful, and the shooting feel is too affected."

Seeing the coach's concerned eyes, Chen Mu nodded and said: "If it goes on like this, it will be blown up before halftime, and we have to change." ”

"I know, but ......" Carlisle nodded and smiled wryly, "but I can't think of a way out of it all of a sudden, their defensive pressure is too exaggerated." It's clearly about being ready, sparing all your strength, opening up the score difference at the beginning, and then getting into the rhythm of garbage time as early as possible. ”

"It's not just the offensive end, it's the problem we have on the defensive end as well. After they switched guards, it wasn't difficult for Kendrick to be crushed by you, but Kevin's mobility was too strong, and Darko's side ......"

As he spoke, Carlisle glanced back at Milicic, the big man in Serbia and Black drinking a sports drink without saying a word. But those who know him well know that since Da Milicic did not say anything, it means that he agrees with the manager's statement.

Milicic defended Garnett, which was too reluctant.

Footwork, bouncing, technical comprehensiveness, experience, and technique......

The gap between Milicic and Garnett is all-encompassing, and what is even more frightening is that Milicic's own individual attacking ability is also limited. At this time, it can't be prevented, and if it can be found on the offensive end, it is not a bad way, but the problem is that Milicic has no way to get the blown up back above Garnett's head.

If only there was Da Yao, ......!

Chen Mu also frowned, drank a drink, looked at the court with his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the scene during the Olympic Games.

At that time, Yao Ming alone could attract as many packets as he could, and Chen Mu only needed to use the power to run back and forth, and find a vacancy to catch the ball and attack the basket directly.

Except for the core period when Yao Ming was not present and Chen Mu led the team alone, Chen Mu actually played very easily in the Olympic Games. Almost every vacancy can be dunked directly, and this kind of big vacancy, as long as the interior player's mobility is strong enough to run in time, it can be ......

Well......???

Chen Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of someone in his mind.

When he raised his eyes to look at that person, the first thing Chen Mu saw was Carlisle's eyes.

Carlisle's eyes were also shining with hope.

"Coach, what we think...... It can't be the same person, right? ”

Chen Mu figured everything out, and all of a sudden it was like clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky, his thoughts were instantly clear, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Hah, I think we should be thinking of going together."

Carlisle smiled too, and there was lightness, relief, and more of a smile than the joy of getting back on track.

As long as we do this well, we can counterattack.

Either way, it's the perfect solution, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end......

"Announce it."

Carlisle was still thinking about the pros and cons, Chen Mu opened his mouth and said to his mentor with a smile: "Announce the replacement, and then ......"

"We'll fight back ......!"

In Chen Mu's eyes, the fire reappeared. (To be continued.) )

When the fourth watch came, it was the moment when Xiao Chen broke out!!
