Chapter Seventy-Three: Chen's Storm

In the second half, the 76ers launched a fierce wave of attacks.

Chen Mu became the core of the court for a short time, and almost all the ball passed through his hands, either using the cover to cut into the air, hitting the mid-range or under the basket; Either in the waist or high position, he delivers lethal passes and assists his teammates to score.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Suns' offense improved slightly, and Nash led the team to launch a desperate counterattack, constantly instigating rapid offense. The teammates were more resolute on the outside, and with a couple of three-pointers, the Suns got up and narrowed the gap a bit.

Cheeks made personnel adjustments to let Chen Mu take a break, and after Hunter came on the court, the Suns seized this point to launch a targeted local pinch defense, basically letting go of Hunter, who had no offensive ability, and trapping Webb and Iverson.

The strategy proved to be very successful, with the 76ers making several mistakes inside and outside the team, and the Suns taking advantage of the situation to fight back.

Nash burst forward with a blistering dribble and split the ball at the top of the arc, sending Bell and Marion quick to flank, one standing outside the three-point line and the other rushing to the basket.

Hunter's speed is not the same as Chen's, Webber is also slow after a major injury, Marion is like a fish in water, receiving a quick pass from Nash, and scoring under the basket.

After a few rounds, Marion's hand was opened, and in a positional battle, he even switched positions with Bale in the bottom corner around the cover and got an open three-point opportunity.

The weird shooting action shot, the basketball hit accurately, and the Suns overtook the score!

"Chen, how are you doing?"

Cheeks knew that something was wrong, and the situation on the court began to turn around, and in the West Jersey Arena, the cheers of the Suns fans rang out like a tsunami, and the home team players were encouraged and the offense was much more resolute.

If it drags on any longer, Hunter will be the winner of this game, the Suns' offense is open, and there are few teams in the league that can hold them down.

"Fight to the end, no problem!"

Chen Mu got up, threw the towel to the staff, and said with a straight face.

"Okay, there's five minutes left, and you don't have time to rest."

Cheeks looked grim and called a timeout.

Back on the sidelines, Hunter gasped and shook his head.

He played a very aggrieved game, and the defensive interior can use his height and reach to help the team when facing strong attackers.

But who is Nash, the core of the Suns? Knowing that the 76ers' defense under the basket has been strengthened, he naturally will not let his teammates break through without brains.

After hitting consecutive outside shots, the score came to 81-80, and the Suns overtook it.

"Hunter, Webb, take a break."

Cheeks quickly drew tactics on the tactical board, without Webb as a distribution point, the offense on the field could only rely on Iverson and Chen Mu, and the tactics had to be changed.

"Let's play small balls and fight to the end with their bayonets!"

With a simple tactical draw, Cheeks chose a lineup for the 76ers to play against the Suns.

Iverson was in control, and the outside line laid down three shooters, Louis Williams, Korver, and Iguodala, and left Chen Mu alone on the inside.

"Two minutes." Cheeks raised his eyes and said: "This lineup can only last for two minutes, and in these two minutes, we must regain the lead!" ”

Chen Mu knows very well that after two minutes, Webber will be on the field again, and then the 76ers' offense will be improved, and once again enter a situation where the Suns are unguardable.

But in these two minutes, the burden of the team's interior will be tied to one person.

That is Chen Mu himself.

β€œ1、2、3、ATTACK!”

Attack!

Not an offense, but an attack!

With the determination to win, the players took to the pitch.

Looking at Marion, who had already opened in front of him, Chen Mu took a deep breath and knew that it was time to show all his skills.

The sun was in place, and this time there was only Chen Mu on the inside, and he could no longer run the V-shaped position, and the team played a 2-1-2 tactical cooperation.

Chen Mu landed at the free throw line and became the offensive center, Iverson and Louis Williams guided the ball outside the 45-degree three-point line on both sides, and Iguodala and Korver began to cross and switch positions on the baseline.

"Chen!"

After the baseline run was completed, Iverson handed the basketball to Chen Mu, and he and Louis Williams suddenly started together, rushing from both sides of Chen Mu's body to the inside.

Although Iverson and Williams are both small, they have a good impact on the basket, and Chen Muyi's hand shooting and strategy are extremely strange, and the offensive tactics are opened!

In the bottom corners on both sides, Korver and Iguodala began to rise after the switch, the moment the No. 1 and No. 2 positions fell into the deep post, and the No. 3 and No. 4 positions cut out at the same time, and the Suns' defense was briefly chaotic, and the perimeter defenders hindered each other in the three-point line.

The weakest link among them is Dior.

Although Dior has good athleticism and speed on the inside, his speed against Iguodala is still not enough.

After Iguodala cut outside, Dio was already half a step behind, Chen Mu shook the basketball in his hand and made a pass feint, Dio thought that Chen Mu was going to pass the ball to Iguodala for three points, and hurriedly stepped forward to pounce.

Iguodala seized the moment and reflexively cut back to the basket.

"Whoosh"

Chen Mu looked to the left, staring at the sharpshooter Korver with both eyes, but his hands steadied the basketball he pulled back, and then sent the ball to Iguodala.

Near the baseline, Iverson and Williams had already run outside the three-point line in the corner, and the basket was empty.

"Overtake!"

Chen Mu clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes looked at the VIP box again.

In the box, Colangelo's face became worse and worse, as if he had just been humiliated in person.

Feeling the gaze of many home fans with Chen Mu's eyes, Colangelo pretended to cough and looked away, feeling very angry in his heart.

"Chinese boy, this is humiliating me in front of ......!"

On the field, the Chen-style storm has just begun.

The Suns attacked, Marion was on fire, and Nash sent the ball straight to him.

Traveling to the indirect ball, Marion came to the three-second zone and jumped, and wanted to hook his hands with chicken feet, but Chen Mu didn't know when he was already standing in front of him, and he was collided at the moment Marion shot and fell to the ground.

"Beep!"

"Suns No. 31 offensive foul!"

As soon as the referee made a penalty, the audience was in an uproar, the fans hugged their heads one after another, and the Suns players were also shocked.

Rookie Chen Mu, caused an offensive foul by All-Star player Marion??

In this first NBA game, Kidd made a brainless foul, and then sent Smush Parker two plus one in the game against the Lakers, and the stunned rookie was able to cause an offensive foul on the opponent?!

"Well done!"

Iguodala was the first to step forward and pull Chen Mu up, and the two bumped their chests to celebrate.

Marion shook his head and said a few words to the referee, only to be pulled back by Nash and back into the defense.

Back on the offensive end, the 76ers once again ran a 2-1-2 tactic, with four muskets on the outside quickly interspersed with movement, and Chen Mu remained motionless, looking for passing opportunities at the free throw line.

It was still Dior who had a gap at this point, Chen Mu moved the basketball in his hand, and Marion, who was defending him, quickly turned back.

Wrong!

When Marion reacted to his plan, he looked back at Chen Mu, whose right hand had already finished shooting in the air, and he retreated arrogantly.

β€œBOOM!!!”

In the audience, Boss Su was very excited, took Su Yin's little hand and said, "Look at it, Chen Mu's choice is too smart!" ”

Su Yin's eyes also lit up, and he seemed to gradually find the feeling of watching a basketball game.

However, Nash remained calm and turned back to chase a three-pointer to quickly erase the difference.

"Don't be discouraged, do it again!"

Coming to the front court, Chen Mu once again held the ball at the free throw line, raised his hands high, and his eyes couldn't stop scanning the whole court.

Pass? Or shooting? Or do you fake and then make the opposite choice?

Marion used all his strength to keep an eye on Chen Mu, and made up his mind not to leave this Chinese kid for a single step.

Suddenly, Chen Mu's hands raised above his head were pocketed back, and the basketball flew towards the back of his head like eyes.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Korver was pulled by Chen Mu's pass, strode smoothly to catch the ball, Bale chased after him desperately, and Marion's attention was also attracted by this cooperation.

In a fleeting moment, Korver had a flash of inspiration and shifted the basketball to the weak side again, and Iverson, who was out of the baseline, received the ball, shook it past Nash in one step, and then made a sharp stop in the middle distance.

"It's short!"

As soon as Iverson wanted to quickly return to the defense, he saw a figure burst up from the penalty area, grabbed the basketball firmly in the air with both hands, and smashed into the basket.

"Hahaha! Frontcourt rebound dunk!! ”

Boss Su couldn't care about the eyes of other fans who could kill people, so he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and got up and shouted: "Chen Mu! Oxfork !! ”

"Daddy......!"

Su Yin, who was on the side, apologized to the people nearby embarrassedly, and then pulled Boss Su back to his seat in disgust.

The next game completely became Chen Mu's personal show, and various offensive and defensive performances emerged one after another, making the fans silent.

One big and four small, 2-1-2 standing offense, greatly exerted Chen Mu's all-round ability on the offensive end, mid-range shooting, passing, front-court rebounding, follow-up dunks, fake fax shooting, and horizontal mid-range shooting after shaking......

There was a Chen-style storm on the field!

And every time there is a wonderful performance, Chen Mu's eyes will look at the VIP box. Although he was far away and couldn't see Colangelo's expression at all, Chen Mu knew that the best manager must be on pins and needles at this time.

"Give up on me? We'll see! ”

Two minutes passed quickly, and under Chen Mu's strong play, the 76ers began to open up the difference, and by the time Webb came on the court, the difference had come to 6 points.

"Three minutes remaining, decide the winner!"

Webber and Chen Mu looked at each other, the team's offensive routine changed again, and when there was a fast break opportunity, Iverson rushed forward like lightning and went straight to the basket.

In positional warfare, V-shaped positioning and 2-1-2 tactics are repeated.

Only this time, Chen Mu also became a member of the perimeter rotation position, and Webb became the free throw line center.

Chen Mu is several laps taller than Louis Williams, and has added a few more changes in the running process, making a few off-ball screens for Iverson.

The former scoring champion was full of firepower, and with the frontcourt rebounding guarantee, he shot more decisively and crisply, and completely opened up the point difference after a few shots.

In the Meixi Stadium, fans have already begun to leave the stadium.

And Chen Mu's astonishing technical statistics are about to shock the world again.
