The playoffs in the East and West, at this time in 2009, took a completely different route.

The flames in the West, the Suns, Lakers, and Nuggets are all good offensive players. The only defensive team, the Spurs, has also entered its own transformation period, Zhuge Vic began to use more high-post cover to instigate the offensive strategy, the backcourt "double ghost" Parker and Ginobili led the offense, played a lot of open offensive routines, and the Spurs began to transform.

Compared with the offensive frenzy in the west, the eastern side has entered an extremely oppressive defensive strangulation battle.

The suffocating atmosphere, the terrifying superstar collision, the terrifying defensive posture, the incredible body entanglement, and the overall principle that the penalty scale is quite open......

All of this has contributed to the most terrifying journey of iron-blooded defense since 2004. The Celtics, Cavaliers, 76ers, and Bulls are all strong teams on the defensive end, each with its own characteristics. Some superstars led the whole team's defensive formation, and cooperated with the coach's strategy to create a terrifying King Kong defense line. For example, the Celtics and Cavaliers are such defensive powerhouses.

And some are all soldiers, anyone who comes out can block the gun's hole, anyone has good defensive ability and entanglement kung fu, and the overall defense is suffocating manic defensive trend. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Chicago Bulls.

The scene of the opening and closing of the west is very exciting, and the people who watch it are full of anger. And the terrifying iron-blooded bones of the east watched the people who were breathing rapidly, almost out of breath.

Under such a trend, both sides played their own style.

The Lakers, the first in the West, and the Spurs, the fourth in the West, are tied 3-2 in five games, and the Lakers are ahead. In each of the three games they won, the Lakers scored more than 110 points. And when Spurs won, neither team scored more than 100 points. This comparison of data perfectly shows the different styles of the two teams.

The Suns are second in the West against the Nuggets, and the five games are also 3-2, with the Suns leading. All five games were over the score. There is no team that has scored more than 100 points.

The second Cavaliers in the East vs. the Celtics, 5 games are also 3-2, LeBron James alone against the Big Three, and the scene of the three British battles against Lu Bu is exciting, and every moment is worth remembering.

On the other side, the sixth, the fanatical United Center.

The last away game of the second round of the Philadelphia 76ers, if you can win, you will advance directly, if you lose. It will return to Philadelphia for the seventh game.

Philadelphia, which lost Korver, no longer has the top-five offensive maniac momentum in the league on the offensive end of the regular season, and the game against the Bulls has not exceeded 100 points except for the first game.

There are two reasons for this, the first is naturally because of the lack of outside shooters, which makes the team's offensive space unable to be opened, and the Bulls' defense can be completely targeted and piled up on the inside.

There are a bunch of breakouts, and it's scary for the Philadelphia outside line to really rush up. But the stadium is so big, where is there so much space for people to sprint?

And under the basket. There is also such a strong basket scoring point as Chen Mu, if the breakthrough of the outside player interferes with Chen Mu's offensive efficiency and space under the basket, it is too much to lose.

Thereupon. Both sides entered a complete defensive strangulation battle, and the hit rate was not high. The Bulls have a bunch of shooters, but Philadelphia's defensive skills on the outside are really amazing, unless they encounter a small probability event like Ben Gordon's explosion again. Otherwise, the Bulls wouldn't have been able to play a high-quality offense.

Another reason is also very simple, in order to maximize Chen Mu's power, that is, to fight the giant planet. How to maintain Chen Mu's physical fitness from being prematurely depleted is the most important problem that the team needs to solve.

The solution is simple.

"Slow down the pace and fight positional warfare."

Carlisle also attaches great importance to the game that determines the fate of life and death, and before the start of the game, it is appropriate to give the players a face-to-face lecture for the last time.

"Our strategy remains the same, no matter how they change formations, we are going to fight the giant planet. Give the ball to Chan at every chance and let him settle the fight. Whatever his tactical requirements, all were met. Although I know that as a coach, I can't say that, but ......"

Carlisle stretched out his hand and habitually patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said, "If you have a trump card, you have to trust him." Our trump card, the MVP, is the strongest rebounder in the world. We must believe that he will become a demon ......! ”

“1、2、3、76ERS！！！”

Roaring in unison, Philadelphia 76ers players on the court!

On the Bulls' side, there aren't a lot of changes. Chen Mu can't prevent it, no matter how hard he works, no matter how many people he has, at most he can only slightly limit Chen Mu's play. Guarding against Chen Mu is not something that players of the level of Noah and Thomas can do.

"There is only one team in the league that can have the capital to defend one-on-one with Chen and a small number of assistant defenses."

On the Bulls' side, Negro is also talking tactical thinking to the Bulls' youngsters.

"The Boston Celtics, their Kevin Garnett, are now carrying a lot lighter burden on the offensive end than they used to be. Although there has been a decline in physical fitness, the concentration of defense has risen by I don't know how many notches. Kevin's defense is more terrifying now than at any time I've known him until now. ”

Negro said, looking at the two Bulls insiders and said, "I don't see any player other than Kevin who can really limit Chen's existence." No, not even Thiem, who has had a big impact from his injury, and now he's basically starting to move completely into the centre-forward position. Tim couldn't guard Chen, and neither could Dwight else. ”

"So don't feel pressure in your hearts, it's normal to not be able to prevent Chen, and there is nothing more normal in the whole world. Just like Mike Jordan, will anyone get discouraged because they can't stop Jordan and simply give up basketball? ”

Negro was talking about other teams, but the purpose was to increase the confidence of the players, looking at the obviously childish faces of Thomas and Noana, Negro said earnestly: "Your task is not to limit Chen's offense or rebounding, never. Your task is to play your abilities and specialties and make your own contribution on the court, understand? ”

The two seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they looked at each other and seemed to understand. I don't seem to get it.

“…… Let's play. ”

Negro knew that it was not something that could be done overnight to make such a young player understand the truth, so he did not force it, clapped his hands and let the players play.

“1、2、3、BULLS！！！”

The slogan is shouted, and the bull is ready to go!

It's mine...... Specialty?

Noah came to the center circle to jump the ball, looked at the basketball in the hands of the referee, and thought in his head.

What are my strengths?

Defensive, tireless interference. Fighting for the ball, all kinds of roars, all kinds of morale-boosting chest beats and yelling, and ......

Respond to passes.

What is my specialty?

Thomas was beside Noah, waiting for the basketball to be tossed, and his mind was pondering the question.

Bounce, thunderous explosiveness, speed. A natural touch in the middle range, a thunderbolt on the defensive end, and ......

The instinct to run empty-handed.

"Whew!"

The referee's whistle blows and the basketball is thrown into the air. When Noah jumped, the two interior players of the Bulls seemed to understand what they were going to do.

Pass/Air Cut!

"Smack!"

When it comes to basketball, the ball is temporarily in the hands of the Bulls. The Bulls steadied the ball and began to attack.

“HIGHPOST！”

Noah ran to the frontcourt, and the octopus covered Rose with teeth and claws. The moment he blocked and dismantled, he actually took the initiative to shout out his tactical requirements.

“GOT-IT。”

Rose nodded, but his body and footsteps did not stop, and after passing through the cover, he rushed to the strong side, and suddenly a crotch pass back, and the basketball bounced off the ground.

Noah catches the ball!

The Bulls used tactics that they barely used in five games, and even the Philadelphia players were stunned, not understanding what the Bulls were trying to do.

My passing vision and technique are innate.

Noah watched his teammates run and remembered a lot of images from the past.

Because he was too thin, he was rejected by the coach.

Because the technique was too rough, he was ridiculed by his teammates.

Because of the strange shooting action, it was said by ball critics that it was impossible to shoot into the middle distance in his life.

Because of his hairstyle, strange manners, and perverse behavior, he was misunderstood, scolded, and despised by countless people.

Joe Kim Noah's basketball career is a history of struggle against prejudice and stubbornly walking his own basketball path.

Today, he stands on the highest basketball stage in the world.

Now, I want to use my special skills to give this season's MVP and the big devil in the NBA inside!

Pass!!

Noah swept away, and at the moment when Rose ran around the half court to the weak side, Thomas, who made a blank ball cover to send Rose to the bottom corner, suddenly turned around and cut back.

Perfect.

Perfect timing, perfect action, perfect location.

This time, the awareness and movement of the air cut were perfect.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced off the floor and perfectly past Milicic's defense. Noah himself also gave a perfect assist for this perfect air cut.

Under the basket, Chen Mu took half a step to the weak side in order to delay Rose's running position a little.

This is because in the previous games, how many times in the previous game, Rose used a similar way of running to get out of the bizarre route, and singled out Lowry after receiving the ball on the weak side.

This is Iverson's best tactical routine at his peak, and Chen Mu is very familiar with it.

However, this half-step was caught by Thomas, and after a backcut was in place, the basketball fell right into his hands.

Perfect.

Noah and I, in front of the damn Chinese kid, played a perfect match!!

Jump!

Thomas turned and jumped, holding the ball in both hands and lifting it into the air, and a jump on the spot was about to buckle with both hands.

Use our expertise to kill you! Damn Chinese ......

"Whew!"

Just when Thomas had already begun to think about what action to use to celebrate, how to roar domineeringly, an arm appeared in front of him.

No...... No way......?!!!

“…… Syllable!!! ”

Chen Mu's hand pressed the basketball, and with a hard press, Thomas even leaned back with the ball.

"Hey."

At the moment of his fall, Thomas heard the laughter again.

The one that belongs to the devil, horror laughter. (To be continued.) )
