Chapter 854: Deathmatch
The battle continues!
“beat-76ers!!!”
The advantage of a long city name and a long team name is that in the face of sworn enemies, it is difficult for fans to shout a uniform rhythm when playing away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Why is the slogan "Beat-La" one of the most famous in NBA history?
Who made the abbreviation of Los Angeles simply have its own rhythm and shout it with great courage?
The abbreviation of Philadelphia is pronounced, and the last light ending is not bold and oppressive, and it will not be so impactful to shout according to the rhythm.
Away, fourth.
Although it is not a do-or-die match, it is a very important game in the 2-2-1-1-1 format of the second round of the playoffs.
The so-called battle of Tianwang Mountain is certainly eye-catching, but according to the current score of the two teams, whoever wins the fourth game will change the whole situation dramatically.
"If Philadelphia wins, it's a series point in hand, and if Boston wins, the big score is equalized. The fifth game after that, which is what everyone calls the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, will become a key battle, and whoever wins will get the match point. ”
As the game was about to begin, Miller and Albert on the side of the commentary podium began to analyze the situation.
"Of the three games that have ended before, one is a big win for Philadelphia, one is a big win for Boston, and one is a narrow win for Philadelphia. In terms of trend, basically the two sides are going up and down. If this situation continues, the fourth game should be a big win for Boston. ”
Although the words spoken sounded as boring and boring as horoscope analysis, and there was no logic at all. But sometimes the pre-match analysis of the game is a thing that doesn't make much sense.
I can only find some ethereal things such as so-called trends, past matchup experiences, and player status to fill in the time!
And the process of the game actually caught up with the pre-game analysis.
"Brush!"
Soon after the opening, Boston played a beautiful combination, and Ray Allen received a three-point shot from Rondo on the outside.
When Philadelphia counterattacked, the passing route was seen through, Rondo steals and sprints, faces Lowry's defense with a crotch dribble and a one-handed pass, and Garnett shoots in the middle of the range.
After Philadelphia missed a three-point shot, Boston rebounded a classic three-line fast break, and when Pierce scored a one-handed layup, North Shore Gardens erupted in an astonishing outburst.
It's like going back to the first game, and everyone realizes one thing:
Boston, in great shape today!
"Smack!" "Fight back!" ”
After the rebound was picked up, Chen Mu's eyes were tenacious after he landed, and under his strong rebounding scramble, Philadelphia launched a wave of counterattacks.
Lowry's mid-range shake after a mid-range shot wins.
Pierce responded with a step-back mid-range shot.
Curry got Chen Mu's cover hand outside the three-point line, and the three-point ultra-high arc fell into the frame.
Garnett immediately responded with a crotch return pass, and Rondo caught the ball and made a soft layup around his fingers to score points.
Chen Mu turned on the harvesting mode and scored two consecutive back-to-back singles.
Ray Allen's three-pointer widened the gap between the two points that were hard to recover.
“beat-76ers!!!”
The shouts rang out, and the fans in the stadium shouted wildly, and Garnett contributed a slam dunk after receiving the ball. Milicic under the basket had no way to resist the wrath of the wolf king, and he was deducted from his head and face, and there was no way at all.
At this time, Chen Mu was careless on the offensive end, and was made an offensive foul by Pierce, and he had to go off the court early to rest.
"The worst has happened!"
Seeing the extremely unhappy look on Chen Mu's face when he got off the court, and then seeing Pierce making an offensive foul and succeeding, he chewed gum and was helped up by his teammates, with an arrogant look to the extreme, and greeted the fans in the audience.
The fans were in for a blast.
"This is what worries Philadelphia the most! In the previous game where Boston won, it was also because of Chen's foul problem that Philadelphia failed to renew its firepower at the most critical moment! ”
Miller, who was on the side of the commentary stage, seemed to feel the situation and said loudly: "Philadelphia has the strongest forward in the league, but there is no strong enough scoring backup in the power forward bench position. Evans is still among the best in the league in rebounding efficiency, but it's too hard for you to get him to attack. ”
And for Philadelphia's current defensive system, Chen's role on the defensive end is extremely obvious. Perhaps what you see is more of Philadelphia's fast steal network, Iguodala's personal marking entanglement, and DeAndre Jordan's Thunderbolt hot pot. But I think that no matter how strong the defense of the outside players is, unless a super blockade of two or three people is formed, otherwise, under today's offensive rules, it is difficult for the outside to find opportunities to harvest the game with defense! ”
"That's right."
Albert nodded: "We are always reluctant to admit that Chen's role on the defensive end of Philadelphia has already caught up with his role on the offensive end. Not to mention reaching the level of Garnett and Duncan, but Chen's presence is the root of Philadelphia's ability to contribute super defense from the inside out. ”
"Especially when the opponent on the opposite side is Garnett's level, Philadelphia needs Chen to limit the opponent. But now that Chen has too many fouls and is resting, Philadelphia's interior defense will be disjointed. ”
"Milicic's individual marking is not bad, especially when defending his back, his footwork, defensive experience and height can contribute to Philadelphia's one-on-one defensive strength."
Miller agreed: "Jordan Jr.'s block looks very scary when he looks energetic. But supplemental defense is supplemental defense, no matter how wonderful the block is, it is just a block, which destroys an offense, and it is just a great morale boost. It is impossible to completely block a whole game with a block. For any team to defend well, it has to have internal and external blocking defensive points. ”
"If you look at the Pistons in 2004, they all say that Big Ben is the foundation of defense, but in fact Big Ben is a defensive machine that roams inside and outside, just like Kirilenko in his prime. It's just that Big Ben is more inclined to the inside, rebounding. The core of that Pistons' interior and exterior defense has always been Billups and Rasheed Wallace. ”
Miller's statement is somewhat peculiar, and it is not quite in line with the opinion of many ball critics. But among those who heard Miller's words, those veteran fans still remembered that at that time, there was indeed such an argument.
Prince and Big Ben, who think the Pistons' most beautiful defensive stats, have been given some defensive bonuses by Billups and Rasheed Wallace. Without the one-on-one defensive blockade of those two guys, it would be difficult for two supplementary defensive monsters to get such beautiful data.
The trend of the game after that basically alluded to Miller's judgment.
After Chen Mu left the game, Boston's originally good hand felt and directly entered a state of explosion.
Ray Allen responded to a mid-range pull-up shot, and after blocking an attack from Curry, he turned around and scored another individual single.
Philadelphia finally relied on Iguodala's breakaway, Beau made a foul and hit a free throw, and the rebound was won by Perkins. In a positional battle, Pierce's personal singles returned a deception foul on Iguodala and hit both free throws.
After that, Garnett began to explode, Evans was strong in rebounding, and there were a lot of small moves when defending. But against an opponent of Garnett's level, Evans' little defense was not to be seen.
hit the mid-range shot, scored with a single step up and down with his back, dunked with one hand with a half-turn, shot with his back and back, and cut into the top two defenses with the ball and got a foul......
As Garnett stepped to the free-throw line, there was a chilling sound in the North Shore Gardens.
“mvp! mvp! mvp! mvp! ”
Garnett hasn't heard this shout for a long time, and in this round of the series, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as long as Chen Mu is present, Garnett will be extremely aggrieved.
Although Chen Mu is on the defensive end, in addition to good defensive statistics, he doesn't seem to have much of the kind of combat power that completely locks the opponent for a period of time. But when Chen Mu was there, Garnett seemed to be invisible for a while, which was extremely weird.
Originally, the wolf king was everywhere, but he didn't know where he went for a certain period of time. The rebounds can't be grabbed, the mid-range shots are missed, the layups are capped, the passes are predicted to be stealed, and even the chances of receiving the ball seriously are pitiful.
It's the attitude and the role of the defense.
Sitting on the bench, Chen Mu watched Garnett take advantage of his absence to kill all sides on the field, although he was indignant, but he was not much unwilling.
After all, he was targeted, and after a few long-range shots in Boston at the beginning, he began to frantically hit the interior line to find Chen Mu's foul. In the last game, Little Jordan started and replaced Chen Mu to move and guard the basket, but after using it once, it cannot be used continuously.
"Let's start Deandre in the next game, right?"
The game came to the middle of the third quarter, and Chen Mu finally equalized the score of the two sides again through the efforts of the two quarters. Pierce made a foul on a layup, allowing Chen Mu to carry four fouls and had to sit on the bench again.
"Darko's lateral movement is too slow, they always play the strong and weak side transfers, and then quickly cover the air and find inside opportunities, come and find my foul. It's hard for me to control the foul! ”
Looking at the situation on the court, Chen Mu said to Carlisle with some unhappiness: "When DeAndre started, I played a lot more comfortably. ”
"Yes, but not either."
Carlisle didn't look back, looked at the situation on the court, glanced back at Chen Mu and said: "The rotation adjustment of the lineup is a way to help you relieve pressure, and it can also help us win, as long as you control the frequency and rhythm of use, it will definitely help." But ......"
Saying that, the third quarter ended, and the Philadelphia 76ers trailed by 9 points.
"But it's just saving the team, it doesn't save you."
With that, Carlisle called the players to his side and began to lay out his tactics.
Chen Mu had a storm in his head.
Save the team, but can't save my ......?
It seems that there is still a long way to go to become a true historical defensive giant......!
This game, you can try it.
I'm going to have to find that feeling ...... for the rest of the race! (To be continued.) )
