"Defend and defend! Defensive strength!! ”

"It's empty over there, fill in the place!"

"Watch out for rookies!"

"Rebounding...... it!! ”

In the third game between the Bulls and the 76ers, the Philadelphia 76ers were in a bit of trouble on the road. The Bulls, who lost two games in a row, showed their fighting spirit after returning to the United Center. A group of young lads were in high spirits, and with Negro's roar and the frenzied shouts of the loyal fans, the Bulls put on the most terrifying defensive performance of the three games.

"This way, this way!"

On the court, Lowry made a pass, and before Curry could deal with the ball after taking the ball outside, a back dribble wanted to break through, and Hinrich had reached out and touched the ball out of the sideline.

“…… Alas! ”

Curry himself is also very dissatisfied, although there are not as many opportunities to handle the ball as the real main point guard, but his easy to make mistakes is still reflected.

Unlike Lowry, who is too cautious, Curry plays too casually, and many options and opportunities are not even "bad", they are simply "bad".

Curry still has a long way to go before he can develop a unique skill that no one can beat.

"It's not good."

Looking up at the scoreboard, Chen Mu frowned slightly, took a deep breath in place, and then went back to defense.

The game came to the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, and Philadelphia was actually behind.

The scoreboard recorded the score at 83-85, with the Bulls leading by two points.

The whole game is almost over, and the Philadelphia 76ers only scored 83 points??

What's going on? Everyone in the audience felt frozen? Even Chen Mu was restricted??

If you look at the technical statistics, this is really the case.

In terms of inside and outside shooting percentage, the whole Philadelphia team is very dismal. Even Chen Mu, who has always been as steady as a dog, only scored 8 of 22 shots in this game, which is absolutely unqualified for Chen Mu, who has a personal shooting rate of more than 55% throughout the season.

Why?

Why can a bull do this?

Why can the Bulls do this, when the rest of the league can't think of a way to do it?

The most crucial point of this game is that the Bulls' defensive rhythm is excellent.

"Smack!" "Good rebound!" ”

The Bulls attacked, and Ruhr Deng's shot failed to hit with Iguodala's interference. Chen Mu jumped up under the basket and picked up the rebound, but did not let the Bulls get the frontcourt rebound.

"Offense, offense! Let's run! ”

Carlisle kept shouting on the sidelines, Lowry dribbled and ran forward, and when he arrived at the front court, he passed over with a block and a hand, and his eyes swept to Chen Mu's position.

I wanted to pass the ball.

Rose's eyes were like knives, and he saw the direction of Lowry's eyes at a glance, and he took half a step sideways without moving, but his upper body did not move too much.

It's a trap.

Lowry's eyes were always on Chen Mu, and he didn't notice the fine-tuning at Rose's feet at all, and after seeing Chen Mu bypassing the cover and running to the middle distance, he immediately sent a pass.

Rose, move.

"Smack!"

“…… What a ball!! ”

Derrick Rose steals, slaps the ball in the air with one hand, and then starts without adjusting.

Worst......!

Only then did Lowry know that everything had been planned by the other party a long time ago. Rose's dribble sprint after the steal is probably the way they focused on practicing in the two days of targeted practice.

Because the whole Bulls team started at the same time at this moment.

"Whoosh!" "Bang! ”

The windy fast break, Philadelphia's offensive position was too deep, and the Bulls boys couldn't keep up with the Bulls when switching defenses, and Gibson, who was depressed for two games, finally received the ball and completed a violent gliding dunk.

“…… Roar!!! ”

Like a trapped beast, Gibson, who was wantonly ravaged by Chen Mu through the cage, spewed out a breath of evil in his heart. His hands were tense and his fists were clenched, and the whole person shook back and forth, and while roaring angrily, the muscles all over his body were shaking.

"Wonderful show! Tai Gibson has already scored 18 points and 9 rebounds in this game! Compared to the last game and the dismal performance in the first game, Gibson played really well today! ”

The local commentator in Chicago slapped the commentary table and said excitedly: "The overall defensive rhythm of the Bulls today is quite perfect, when will Philadelphia start the overall offense, and when will it be ready to play Chen Singles, the Bulls seem to have figured out the way to distinguish!" ”

Distinguishing ...... Method?

"Be steady, don't rush!"

On the field, Chen Mu patted Lowry's head with a serious face, and kept encouraging.

Carlisle, on the sidelines, frowned, folded his hands in front of his chest, and fell into deep thought.

Negro is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Knowing that our players are extremely dependent on Chen, as long as they think of making a ball for Chen, almost everyone except Andre will involuntarily look in Chen's direction a few more times.

Andriy doesn't do this, not because of how high his level of transmission and control is, but because the tacit understanding between him and Chen is too much. So much so that no matter what Andre does, Chen can understand the other party's mind, and vice versa.

Let Andre control the ball?

No, no, Lowry's projection shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

That......

Carlisle glanced at the bench.

...... put Allen on the field?

Iverson's physical fitness should not be a problem for the time being, and the tacit understanding between him and Chen Mu is also very strong, although the cooperation time is shorter than Iguodala, but the wavelength between the two is too consistent, and they belong to the kind of brothers who can spark as soon as they meet.

But......

Looking at Rose, who was in no man's land and began to show a crazy posture in this game, Carlisle hesitated for a long time, but finally did not call a timeout.

No, I can't.

Allen's words, the speed and size on the defensive end are not enough to keep up with Rose......!

Although Lowry was also blown up very badly, it was constantly increasing the difficulty of Rose's offense. With Allen's physical condition, he will either exert his strength on the offensive end, and use his creativity and the tacit understanding between Chen Mu to bring changes to the team's offensive rhythm. Either exert force on the defensive end, go all out to follow Rose, bite Rose's steps, and don't let Rose attack easily.

You can't have both.

"Be careful...... "Huh! ”

“YES！！！”

On the court, Philadelphia attacked, and finally the basketball was delivered to Chen Mu, and the Bulls' bag was already crazy up. No matter how good Chen Mu is, it is impossible to guarantee a perfect feel every time, and he hits 100%. A hook miss, the Bulls launched a quick counterattack, and finally Rose hit a layup shot.

It won't work like this......!

Chen Mu also knew that the situation was not good, the difference was four points, and there were more than two minutes left in the game time. On the Philadelphia side, some players have begun to show confusion on their faces.

This is the rhythm of defense, when Philadelphia opened up the whole court to play a team offense, the Bulls rushed out wildly, with a speed that is not inferior to Philadelphia, and a sense of pressure that is better in running and jumping ability, destroying the offense of the entire Philadelphia team.

Falling into a singles situation, the Bulls first judged Philadelphia's thoughts with various subtle "omens", and chose to destroy the pass to Chen Mu at the first time. If Chen Mu catches the ball, he will rush up like crazy, take advantage of the slightly looser penalty blown by the home referee, give physical contact as much as possible, and force Chen Mu to shoot as soon as possible.

With both sides done well, it is not surprising that the Bulls can gain a certain advantage on both offensive and defensive ends and firmly grasp the situation of the game.

"Steady! Look at my gestures! ”

Lowry controlled the ball, and as a point guard, he still had to give tactical instructions, dribbling to avoid Rose's mad dog-like pounce, while making difficult tactical gestures.

…… Alas, no!

Chen Mu under the basket shook his head slightly at a glance, but Lowry is a point guard, and the tactics at this time are decided by the point guard. After all, everyone saw Lowry's gesture and had already started to run, and if he didn't run according to the instructions, he would mess up the hearts of the whole team.

Then run!

Chen Mu ran the position, sent Iguodala out with a cover on the bottom line, and then turned and ran back, and Milicic completed the switch.

As soon as the strong side fell into position, he opened his hand to ask for the ball, Lowry sent a pass to the high, and the moment Chen Mu got the ball inside, his eyes quickly swept around.

…… Bag Clip ...... Didn't come up??

Chen Mu took the ball with his back under the basket, but the bag did not come up??

This is......

"It's useless."

Negro was on the sidelines, with a gritty look on his face and a smug smile on his lips.

"Your tactics, all the tactics, I have studied, although there are a lot of them, but they are always limited."

How much time and effort does it take to study all the tactics of the Philadelphia 76ers?

No one knows the answer.

But at this moment, Chen Mu knew that the Bulls players almost had to remember the difference. Perhaps Negro used a special way to make the players remember the key points in detail, so as to achieve independent judgment on the field.

If this is done, it can be said that Negro has an insight into Carlisle's overall tactical intent on a certain level. It is not just from the perspective of tactical implementation, but to get to the essence and grasp the main point.

The tactical instructions given by Lowry just now are Philadelphia's double-key positions under the basket, and Chen Mu draws the bag and then quickly transfers the ball and attacks the basket on the weak side.

This choice can't be considered a mistake, because the most suitable situation for this tactic is that when the opponent is crazy about Chen Mu, he uses Chen Mu's containment and ability to instantly transfer the ball to increase the momentum of the whole team's attack.

It can be said that it looks like Chen Mu's singles, but in fact it is a tactical idea for the whole team to attack.

Negro saw through the essence, and the Bulls players saw the clues, and there was no pack, which was equivalent to running for nothing.

Worse......

“…… Darko pull it out!! ”

Iguodala saw that something was wrong, as a response to the basket on the weak side, he knew very well that at this time, Milicic would wait for Chen Mu's pass near the basket on the weak side, and then make a quick judgment and choose to attack the basket himself or pass to Iguodala.

But now the opponent has no bag, and there are four players on both sides of Philadelphia and Chicago under the basket in the paint area, and if Chen Mu wants to turn around and attack with the ball, the space is completely insufficient to make any moves.

It's ...... deadend!

"Smack!"

Just when Chen Mu was about to pass the ball out and make a new tactical match, he stabbed in the air with one hand.

Joe Kim Noah, go around to the dead corner of Chen Mu's line of sight to make a steal, Bull, fast attack ......!

"Chen ......"

With Rose's fast-break folding dunk successful, when the whole court was boiling, Negro looked at Chen Mu who was frowning tightly on the court with interest.

"In this situation, I want to see what else you can do to turn things around......!" (To be continued.) )
