Chapter 54: The Devil's Forbidden Zone

Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Detroit, Michigan.

The arena welcomed the strongest Pistons team this year, not only because they maintained their usual iron-clad defensive style, but also because of the offensive wind brought by the arrival of new coach Saunders.

Although the Pistons, who are good offensively and defensively, can play a smooth offense and get a lot of high-scoring games, all teams in the league know it. What keeps the Pistons strong and still at the top of the league is their tenacious defense.

Second-to-last PACE rate in the league, third-best in limiting opponents' scoring, and fifth-best in defensive efficiency......

Although the Pistons have also broken through to rank fourth in the league in offensive efficiency this season, defense is the core of this iron-blooded team.

Especially at the home stadium of Auburn Hills Palace, which symbolizes the wildest enthusiasm and passion of the people of the Motor City, it has become the devil's home stadium that the other 29 teams in the league talk about.

The high-decibel screams, the incessant shouts, the shouts and shouts, the unrelenting boos of the visiting players, all make up the final image of the City of Steel and its own in the history of the NBA.

Today, however, there is a deathly silence in this arena.

"It's quiet, it's not as scary as you say~"

Looking at the surrounding situation, Chen Mu said: "Before you came, you reminded me vigorously, don't be stimulated by the fans' words and make uncool moves. But I think it's okay, it's no different from other teams' home stadiums. ”

Chen Mu is no stranger to this situation. How many times in an away game, as long as Chen Mu is on the field, the atmosphere in the stadium will suddenly change. The fans who were originally irritable and shouting will gradually become quieter, and even some relatively friendly fans will start to cheer for Chen Mu and the 76ers.

But Auburn Hills Palace is not a good place.

"Chen, don't be too complacent~"

Webb smiled on the side: "It's quiet now, that's right, it's because we just played a wonderful little **, and we directly beat them." ”

"I don't believe it, after a pause, you go back on the field and the Auburn Hills fans come to their senses and start booing you, but you will hate yourself for being born in this world...... Ha ha! ”

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Chen Mu smiled lightly and said: "I'm not a stunned young man like Atai, I will fight with fans or something, we Orientals are very particular about etiquette~"

"Haha, come on!"

Barnes laughed, "Who was shouting sarcastic sarcastic about the Pistons on the court just now?" Is this also the etiquette of your ceremonial state? But it's very relieving, haha! ”

In the midst of some jokes, the arrangement of coach Cheeks did not fall behind.

"Keep on the offense, offense, offense! Important things to say three times! ”

Cheeks shook his fist and said: "I played very well before, keep it up, and don't break the offensive momentum." They will definitely make personnel adjustments, Dakko has been completely blown up by Chen, and it is estimated that this game will not come back. ”

Saying that, Cheeks turned his eyes to Chen Mu and said: "If they play Rashid, you don't have to attack anymore, get the ball and do more conduction, Rashid's defense is completely different from Milicic." ”

"I understand." Chen Mu nodded slightly, and as the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, Chen Mu raised his eyes and saw that the Pistons had indeed made a rotation, and the substitute inside line who had been on the court before was pressed back to the bench.

On the side of the court, two big men stepped in, and one of them looked carefully, his height was not too high, and it was estimated that he was less than two meters.

But his incomparably strong muscles are very terrifying, although I don't know how many times I have watched it in front of the TV before, but the first time I watched it so closely on the spot, it still made Chen Mu a little frightened.

"Ben Wallace, the soul of the pistons!"

This season, Ben Wallace averaged only 7.3 points per game, but grabbed 11.3 rebounds. Saunders averaged 1.9 assists per game under the offensive wind. Of course, there are also the iconic 2.2 shocking hot pots per game, which are also very eye-catching.

In addition, as a center, Ben Wallace can still make an average of 1.8 steals per game, which is not amazing. It's no wonder that Big Ben, who has not averaged a double-double in points per game and has almost only a dunk under the basket, can be selected to the All-NBA Second Team, the All-Defensive Team, and finally won the title of Best Defensive Player for the fourth time this season.

The dark skin, the tense muscles that seemed to explode at any moment, and a terrifying explosive head. Ben Wallace's image has become one of the icons of Motor City, representing the defensive soul of the Pistons.

Wallace, another Wallace, was even more terrifying, 6'10" tall and a talented offensive all-rounder, and after spending a few years in "Portland Jail", Rashid, who came to Motor City in a big trade, suddenly transformed from "another example of wasted talent" to "an important piece of the puzzle for a championship team".

"Chen, I guess they'll use Rashid to defend you."

When he came on the court, Webb reminded in a whisper: "Be careful, I have been teammates with him for a year on the Bullets team, and I know his strength very well. He's not as aggressive and irritable as he seems on the surface, and his fundamentals are very solid on the defensive end. With an amazing arm span and good bounce, he is a defensive warrior who can't make mistakes! ”

"Pass the ball more, don't stop the ball, if you stop the ball, their penalty area will become your nightmare......!"

After the break, there was more than 1 minute left in the first quarter of the game, and the two sides started to play again.

The Pistons took the lead in attacking, and the basketball was delivered to Rashid as soon as possible.

"Do you want to cut me......?"

Chen Mu's footsteps were very dead, and no obvious flaws were revealed.

But Rashid is not as worried as Milicic, leaning on his thick back, after feeling Chen Mu's defensive position, he suddenly turned around and made a straight arm backward shot.

Basketball accurate drop frame, no rebounding, no cooperation, no running, no temptation.

Rashid Wallace, as soon as he got on the court, used his kaleidoscopic back-to-back offensive skills to teach Chen Mu a good lesson.

“YO!!! Rashid! Well done!! ”

"this triumphant little guy! Cast him to death, cast him to death! ”

"But after beating Darko, do you think you're great?? Is the forbidden area of our pistons something you can ravage casually?!!! ”

It was just a simple mid-shot shot, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of Auburn Hills Palace, and the fans shouted loudly and constantly attacked Chen Mu.

From the faces of the fans, Chen Mu was surprised to find that although the score was still very tight, after the main force came on the field, everyone seemed to be relieved, and then immediately determined that the game would be won, and they instantly became excited.

"Chen, calm down!"

Webber reminded, Chen Mu nodded slightly, and threw himself into the attack.

After some conduction, the basketball was delivered to Chen Mu's hands, Chen Mu just leaned back, trying to find the center of gravity of the defense, and suddenly a black shadow appeared in the oblique stab.

"Be careful!"

As soon as Iverson's reminder reached Chen Mu's ears, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand had been simply cut off by a pair of fast hands.

"Ben ......!"

Chen Mu was startled, and when he raised his eyes, the Pistons had already launched an attack.

"Steady up, grind the position!"

Billups also regained his composure, pulling away on the weak side, piling up strong tests, and after a quick run to reverse the ball from the outside, without any risky moves, the basketball was finally passed to Rashid.

Rashid turned his back and crushed inward, and Chen Mu felt a sense of strength that he had never felt before. Although he has also played against Duncan, Duncan is still the kind of player who likes to use skill to win, even if he crushes with his back, he will not give it his all.

But Rashid is different, the incarnation of this basketball demon is extremely tough, and he spares no effort every time he hits, slamming into Chen Mu's chest, and after some crushing, he came to the basket smoothly.

A simple move, Rasheed Wallace raised his right hand high, hit a hook hand under the basket, and the Pistons added two more points!

"What's going on?!! What about your spirit? What about your defense?? Go up, go up hard!! ”

Chen Mu was eaten alone twice in a row, and Chicks was a little anxious, shouting loudly to remind Chen Mu to concentrate.

"I got ......!"

Chen Mu nodded fiercely, the corners of his mouth twitched, and came to the front court to attack.

After having Shuanghua in the penalty area, the Pistons' defense instantly tightened a lot, and the two interior lines with excellent mobility continued to cruise, filling the three-second zone to the brim, and there was no chance to take advantage of it.

Iverson dribbled into the interior and struggled to find a gap under the basket for a layup, but as soon as the basketball left the palm of his hand, a huge black palm slapped down in the air.

"Big Ben! Wonderful hot pot!! ”

Ben Wallace appeared out of nowhere, slapped the basketball with one hand, and just as he was about to attack after landing on the ground, a yellow-skinned figure rushed over.

"Rebound!"

With the help of the plug-in, Chen Mu judged the landing point in advance, stretched out his long arm and grabbed the basketball, and then immediately got up and wanted to shoot.

"Chen! Passing the ball!! ”

Weber's shout was still in his ears, but Chen Mu couldn't care about it anymore, his body had already jumped, the basketball had been lifted high above his head, and the basket was just a stone's throw away!

Behind Chen Mu, two long arms suddenly appeared, intertwined with Ben Wallace's hands raised again, forming an impermeable protective net.

Detroit No-Fly Zone!

Chen Mu knew that it was not good, but it was too late to make adjustments at this time, and under the collision of four arms, he finally found a gap to throw the basketball.

"Dididi"

As soon as this ball is shot, it is destined not to enter the frame, whether it is power or angle, the green ring flashes in front of Chen Mu's eyes, but Shuang Wallace has completely controlled the air area, and it is basically impossible to grab this rebound.

"Ding"

But the long-lost system prompt suddenly appeared, and in the corner of Chen Mu's eyes, a copper badge began to flash, and the new badge was activated by him......!
