Chapter 57: The Public Enemy of the City
"Yellow-skinned monkey! Go back! ”
"Don't try to go wild at Auburn Hills Palace!"
"Want to kill? I think you're dizzy!! ”
In the stadium of Auburn Hills Palace, the insults and shouts condemning Chen Mu were endless, and almost every fan stretched out their hands and viciously pointed at this rare arrogant Chinese boy on the field, scolding.
Chen Mu has become the public enemy of Detroit.
"Chen! One more mouth will make you come down and calm down! ”
On the bench on the sidelines, although head coach Cheeks said this, when he wrapped his hands around his chest, he gave Chen Mu a thumbs up under his arms.
"Well done! There should be this kind of domineering! ”
Chen Mu was very sure that what Cheeks really wanted to say must be this sentence.
"YO, a tough enough response~"
Iverson, who rarely spoke on the court, was also amused by Chen Mu's actions, and came to Chen Mu's side when the Pistons executed a technical foul and free throws, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Mu's back and said: "But the NBA is not a place where you will forgive big words, if you say it yourself, you have to clean it up by yourself!" ”
"Haha, it's not easy~"
Chen Mu smiled indifferently: "As long as we continue to work hard, don't drag the game to the moment of lore!" ”
“…… Hey"
Iverson was stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at this Chinese rookie who was not afraid of heaven and earth, raised his eyebrows and said: "You kid, I really don't know whether to call you stupid or that you are extremely smart." ”
With that, Iverson turned and walked away, and continued: "These words are very relieving, I have long been driven crazy by their endless shouting and insults, and I can take advantage of this time to calm down." ”
"But then again, if the game really goes into the final moment, you must stand on the left side of the penalty area for me, I will die on the pitch and pass the ball to you."
Iverson turned his head slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "When the time comes, you must throw this damn ball into me......!" ”
"Ha ......"
Chen Mu let out a long breath, calmed down for a while, and said confidently: "No problem! ”
The game continued, and after Chen Mu's toss, the 76ers' originally overly excited momentum instantly cooled down. The players moved more cautiously and moved more carefully, and a few small moves on the verge of foul were already whistled by the referee before, and if they continued to maintain a high-intensity physical confrontation, I am afraid that the referees would also compromise under the pressure of the home fans and make a judgment that is unfavorable to the 76ers.
On the offensive end, Iverson was still unstoppable, making a mid-range stop-and-go jump shot, hitting a folding layup on the inside, taking advantage of Chen Mu's cover and stepping back to shoot, and catching the ball around the baseline for three points into the net.
Under the constant running, although Hamilton has not had any problems with his physical strength, his mentality has changed.
This change is very subtle, although it is not a big surprise to not be able to prevent Iverson, but the continuous scoring of the opponent's scorer on the top of the head makes Hamilton a little embarrassed.
"It's all to blame on that Chinese kid! What a lore declaration, it's just stupid! ”
Chen Mu's words not only had an effect on Hamilton, but also made the whole Pistons team a little uncalm.
Although he knew that this was just a rookie's wild words, Chen Mu did show strong enough in this game.
If the Pistons starters are not there, Chen Mu will score points like crazy, ravaging the Pistons' bench interior again and again.
And when the double Wallace returned to the court, Chen Mu was extremely cautious and began to harvest rebounds frantically.
This ability to switch game states at any time is hard to see in a rookie. It can be said that Chen Mu's few wild words made his teammates calm down and make his opponent shake a little, but he kept his normal heart and did not change at all.
"Don't dare to shoot again! Look! This yellow-skinned monkey is starting to be timid again! ”
"What are you saying to kill us, haha, it's a joke!"
"Rashid, kill this kid! This kid is just a mouthpiece, and he doesn't have any real skills! As soon as you get on the court, he will avoid you on the offensive end! ”
The fans' insults continued, and every sentence was heard by Chen Mu in his ears, and it merged into a manic storm.
Calm down, calm down!
You can't change your style of play because of their insults and ridicule, and when facing Wallace, you must not shoot blindly!
Chen Mu kept warning himself that even if the fans had scolded foul language, they couldn't lose their minds impulsively because of this.
"In the face of verbal abuse and suspicion on the basketball court, the best response is to play a good performance and shut them up!"
In fact, before making the lore declaration, Chen Mu himself was already a little enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to fight with the fans here.
At this moment, Chen Mu really realized why Weber and others specially reminded themselves before the game not to be carried away by the passion of Auburn Hills Palace.
However, after making the lore declaration, Chen Mu's heart instantly calmed down.
Looking at the fans in the stands who kept angrily scolding him, Chen Mu knew very well that none of them could be his opponents.
And their insults, firstly, are dissatisfied with themselves, and secondly, they are dissatisfied with the Pistons.
This emotion, on the one hand, proves that his role on the field is constantly increasing, and both opponents and fans can no longer ignore their own strength. On the other hand, it is also constantly putting pressure on the Pistons players, as long as they maintain a wonderful performance, the atmosphere in the stadium will be reversed sooner or later!
"Smack!"
After a break in the first half of the fourth quarter, Chen Mu once again put on the battlefield, his rebounding numbers have come to a terrifying nineteen, and the frontcourt rebounds are as many as nine, which has broken his single-game rebounding record!
"One more!"
Chen Mu has never been so eager to pick up another rebound in his life, if he can pick up another rebound, he will successfully step into the "rebounding maniac club" with 20 rebounds in a single game, and his career will reach a new high!
On the offensive end, the 76ers went through a wonderful combination and Webb scored under the basket. But before he could set up the defense, the Pistons' brain Billups had already hit a three-pointer into the net.
"Rookie, aren't you going to kill us?"
When he returned to the defense, Billups passed by Chen Mu and said faintly: "I just scored three more points, and the score was overtaken by us!" ”
Chen Mu did not respond, but looked up, the number on the scoreboard had come to 85-82, and the Pistons, who had gradually calmed down, overtook the score, and there were two minutes left in the game!
"Chen!"
Iverson hit a straight stopper, and the basketball was delivered to Chen Mu under the basket, and the double Wallace was attracted by Webb's empty cut before at this time, and he hadn't returned to the basket yet, Chen Mu's eyes were open, and he didn't hesitate to get up and prepare to dunk again.
"Smack!"
Out of nowhere, a hand stretched out and slapped it down in the air, covering the ball in Chen Mu's hand.
"Ahhhhh!!hh
Ben Wallace, who was annoyed by Chen Mu's rebounding ball for the whole game, finally found an opportunity to vent, and after slapping the basketball out of the court, he roared angrily and vented the anger in his heart loudly.
"Good shot! Big Ben, well done!! ”
"Yellow-skinned monkey, where's your lore? What about your score? Hahaha! What's the use of grabbing more rebounds? In the end, it's just a rookie who has been unsuccessful, what can he do! ”
"Kill him! Big Ben! Defend him with Rashid!! ”
This goal once again ignited the passion of the fans in the stadium, and the ridicule of Chen Mu continued, without a word of kindness.
"Don't mind, let's attack!"
Iverson patted Chen Mu on the back, then quickly flashed to the side to catch the ball, and after a single shot, he hit a difficult layup.
"Damn, it's AI again!"
"It's okay, look at that yellow-skinned monkey, he's completely out of breath, to put it bluntly, he's just doing it by the side of the AI!"
"Go down! Go back to your hometown! Hahaha! ”
The ridicule of the fans, the remorse for themselves, and the roar of the opponent made Chen Mu a little breathless for a moment.
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and sighed, very dissatisfied with his performance.
"Not calm enough!"
Suddenly, Iguodala's voice came, and a hand slapped Chen Mu's head hard, and the team's friend said loudly: "Chen, that offensive choice just now is not calm enough!" ”
"Oh......?"
Chen Mu suddenly raised his head, and in front of him was Iguodala's grim face.
"The ball just now, if you pass one hand again, there will be a vacancy in the bottom line, you are not calm enough!" Iguodala whispered, "Don't pay attention to their scolding, it's you, not the fans!" It's you who want to win the game, not the one who scolds you! ”
“…… Be! ”
Iguodala's simple words instantly extinguished the confusion in Chen Mu's heart.
Yes, at this moment, it is not those who scold themselves who are standing on the NBA arena and fighting, but themselves.
It's me, it's Chen Mu, a big forward from China!
"Hoo ......"
Chen Mu let out a long breath, closed his eyes and thought about Fang Cai's attack options, found out his own problem, and then opened his eyes, and a different kind of confidence bloomed in his eyes.
Stay calm, make the right choice, and shut them up with a great performance!
Regaining confidence, Chen Mu ran back to his own half at full speed, the Pistons missed the offense, and the rebound was grabbed by Chen Mu again.
Iverson made a quick raid and split the ball to Iguodala, who hit a low-handed layup.
The Pistons pressed the tempo, and Billups fed the ball to Rashid, who faced Chen's defense and landed a solid shot from the back.
"Good shot! Beat him up! ”
"Blow up this unashamed Chinese kid and let him go back in disgrace!"
The insults from the fans continued to sound, but Chen Mu was not affected and continued to attack.
With 20 seconds left in the game, the Pistons led by one point at home, 87-86.
It's really time to kill!
"Bang, bang, bang"
On the court, Iverson controlled the ball, looking up at the time from time to time, calculating the time to attack.
With ten seconds left, Iverson accelerated from the top of the arc to the free-throw line to pull the ball to a sharp stop, and suddenly made a shot.
"When"
The basketball missed, and Cheeks shouted for the players to foul off the court, but a yellow-skinned figure burst out of the crowd.
"Rebounding !!"
In front of Chen Mu's eyes, the badge flashed continuously, the offensive rebound was successfully taken off, and then passed back to Iverson, and he quickly came to the left three-second zone and quietly stretched out his hands.
"Uh-huh......!"
Seeing Chen Mu's position and movements, Iverson suddenly reacted, the lore point that Chen Mu said before was this position!
"Whoosh"
Tearing away the defense, Iverson smoothly handed the ball to Chen Mu.
"Gestures, gestures, remember to follow the movements."
Chen Mu recalled the shooting essentials in his heart, raised the ball above his head, and in front of him, a black shadow flew up, and Rasheed Wallace rushed over frantically to block.
"Be calm."
Chen Mu suddenly collected the ball, used the shooting feint to shake Rashid completely, and then dribbled to the inside line, raised the ball high with his right hand, and rushed to the basket like a burning flame.
In front of him, Ben Wallace, who came to make up for the defense, also raised his hands high, and was about to jump off the block.
But in Chen Mu's eyes, there was only a basket ...... left!
