Chapter 887: Away Puzzle
Can't beat the Lakers, can't beat Kobe, the Suns suffered two consecutive defeats after the first victory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The home court is lost, the Lakers once again have home-court advantage, and the further the Western Conference finals are played, the better the Lakers' chances of winning.
The Suns may also be able to rely on a game or two of them to get the win. But in the case that the singles ability of the two sides is almost the same, the outside line is a Kobe, which has become a decisive gap.
Find a way to keep Kobe, there is still a chance.
If you can't think of a way, you can directly disarm and surrender.
The Western Conference Finals and Eastern Conference Finals continued to alternate, and the next day, the Philadelphia 76ers players arrived at the Quickloan Center Arena.
Away, challenge the Cavaliers.
“booooooooo――!!!”
After enjoying three home games in a row, the Philadelphia players are somewhat accustomed to the cheers and applause when they enter the stadium, and when the opponent enters, they will be booed by the audience.
However, when I came to the quick loan center, all the things that Philadelphia had enjoyed became the opposite.
The Cavaliers fans in the stadium had already arrived at the warm-up on both sides, and there were already thousands of people. Everyone is the most ardent Cavaliers fan, and as soon as they saw the Philadelphia players appear, they immediately began to boo.
"Do you hate it so much......?"
I've experienced the frenzy of the fans at the United Center, the mania of the North Shore Garden fans, and the Cleveland fans are completely different from the other two cities, which makes Curry very uncomfortable.
"Cleveland is the most discriminated and misunderstood city in the United States, what do they say about the fans here...... There's a paranoid personality. ”
Listening to the boos of the Cleveland fans, he introduced: "Cleveland people are very simple, they scold when they are angry, laugh when they are happy, praise you to the sky if they like you, and step on you to hell if you hate you." ”
"Their average income, their average level of education, is not very high...... Don't look at me, I've been to college anyway, okay?? Look at Chen next to you, he hasn't even read the Eight Classics in middle school! ”
"What's the matter with me all of a sudden......"
Chen Mu was also speechless and asked the sky.
"So the fans here will be very fanatical, not like Chicago and Detroit, but almost ......."
Iverson considered the words and frowned slightly, "Aggressive." ”
"Yes, aggressive."
Carlisle walked over from the side and nodded, "Allen is right, the Cleveland fans are aggressive when they boo their opponents. They're actually very simple, they don't think about it that much, they really just don't like you, they hate you, so if you have the slightest bit of a wonderful performance, I want to kill you. ”
"I don't believe you ask Chen, how did he get out of the arena when he got three doubles here and did the lore."
"Is it dangerous??"
Curry asked Chen Mu.
"Ahem...... A little bit ......."
Chen Mu nodded and said, "If it weren't for the security guards to follow the protection, it would be a bit troublesome to leave the players' tunnel." ”
"They seem to have burned your jersey?" Iverson laughed.
"Uh, it seems to be ......" Chen Mu nodded.
"Quick Loan Center...... Is it? ”
Curry nodded, for the first time, he realized the cruelty of the playoffs.
Not only on the field, but also off the field There are many ways to compete.
For more than two hours, the Philadelphia 76ers were completely lost in Cleveland's aggressive away atmosphere and couldn't escape.
“yeaaaaaaaaah!!!!!”
The shouts of the fans, many of which were even rude in an almost insulting way, and several of the more impatient personalities in the Philadelphia team were about to start a counterattack, but they were still stopped by Iverson.
"What do you want to do at this time? Eat a few more league penalty bans? Don't think they've been promoted well enough?! ”
Seeing that Little Jordan and Carney were stunned, and Chen Mu should have calmed down, but the team boss who was still a little annoyed almost had an accident, and Iverson hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Behind it is the laughter and insults of Cleveland fans, Iverson, who had a temper worse than Chen Mu a few years ago, but now he calmed down and said urgently: "Calm down, the most important thing now is not to refute them, but to find out what the problem is!" ”
"Aaron is right."
Carlisle also stepped forward and escorted the players all the way to the players' tunnel, not forgetting to yell at the away security guards along the way.
"We lost a little bit this time, let's talk about it when we go back to review......!"
That night, after reviewing the game, although the Philadelphia players were still indignant in their hearts, they tried to calm down as much as possible after watching the game footage......
"******......!"
I was even more angry.
Several obvious penalty problems, although there are factors including the home whistle, but they all appear at more important nodes.
In the middle of the third quarter, when Iverson led the bench lineup to start scoring points, the referee blew for Iverson for a steal and a mistake for offensive steps.
For a player of Iverson's calibre, it's very, very rare to make such a mistake in two rounds in a row. At that time, Iverson argued a few words, and found that the referee's whistle was very tight, as if he was about to blow a technical foul, and hurriedly shut up.
At that time, the pace of the field was very fast, and not many people saw what was going on, and they didn't think much about it. But in hindsight, looking at the video in slow motion, Iverson's steal was very clean, and although the offensive dribble was a little suspicious of turning his wrist, he definitely didn't move.
"These are two miscalculations, consecutive."
Two consecutive rounds of misjudgment made Iverson a little afraid to make a move, and Gibson scored a three-point shot on the opposite side, taking advantage of Iverson's mistake, Moon Man Moon came to a half-court running air relay flat basket dunk.
It came and went, and five to seven points were gone.
This kind of penalty is not a strange thing in a game, and at this point in time, it is not a critical moment in the traditional sense, so even if Philadelphia appeals afterwards, the league may not be very serious about investigating it.
But the next penalty is really unacceptable.
"This ball ......"
In the picture, at the end of the fourth quarter, Chen Mu had just completed a wonderful back-to-back singles feint, and after turning to the middle, the sky hook hit, and the score was the scorching moment.
Looking back, LeBron James' breakaway after a pick-and-roll went straight to the basket, and in the process, ......
"Walking!!"
LeBron James, the moment he received the ball, first stepped on the ground and stepped on a step, and then made a three-step layup.
Strictly speaking, this is a step beyond question.
But LeBron was moving so fast that the referee didn't see it — or maybe not — and in short, LeBron James made a four-step layup.
I have to say that there is still nothing to say about the skillfulness of LeBron's movements, except for the fans, even the players on the court have not been able to see it for the first time.
But the timing of this goal was too terrible, before Chen Mu began to break out, even with a sudden throw with his back, and scored 8 points to equalize the score. When LeBron scored a breakthrough layup, Milicic, who came from the defense, accidentally slapped LeBron's hand, giving LeBron a two-plus-one opportunity.
In the next round, Philadelphia made a mistake in offense, Curry's pass was too casual, and LeBron judged it accurately. The difference widened again to five points.
After that, LeBron began to control the tempo, always keeping the game in his hands, and Philadelphia was never able to overtake the score.
"That's it for the away game, it's normal for the referee to have a certain home whistle. And in a place like Cleveland, imagine that you are the referee, in the face of so many people's boos and pressure, can you guarantee that you will take a completely neutral attitude every time you make a decision? ”
At the end of the review, Carlisle saw that the players were a little indignant, knowing that the goal had been achieved, and said: "In the next game, it is estimated that there will be similar penalties like this, and we must be mentally prepared." ”
'We have to be ready to win with this penalty tendency, otherwise we will lose all the away games.'
"That's a 4-3 win."
Curry was puzzled.
'It's okay to win, but if we just think like that, we're going to lose.'
Chen Mu shook his head and said: "That's not the belief of victory, but the idea of 'guarantee that you can't lose', and you will lose to an opponent who has the belief of winning." ”
And......
Looking back at the TV that had been turned off, another thought popped up in Chen Mu's mind.
This kind of penalty error, really...... Is it just a matter of the home whistle and the penalty under high pressure?
Isn't there something else going on in that?
"Ding"
The phone rang.
Chen Mu took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and a text message came.
The sender, yes......
"Chen Dashen, it's a pity in the end! Be sure to win an away game! - Liu Kui"
Fei bruised.
The timing of this text message made Chen Mu have a lot of thoughts in his heart.
This guy rarely texts me when he loses. It's usually celebrated when you win, and there is no problem with etiquette.
But today it ......
"Chen, what's wrong......?"
Alun saw that Chen Mu's face was wrong, and asked.
“…… It's nothing. ”
Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, glanced at the text message again, replied with a "struggle" expression, didn't say more, and put away the phone.
And even then, so what?
Even if there are really some off-the-counter factors interfering with this, so what?
"After all, the game still depends on the people on the field......
"That's right."
Iverson smiled and didn't ask, just silently stretched out a fist and fisted with Chen Mu.
In the next game, the away pressure will be even greater.
If you want to win, you'll have to put in a lot of hard work......!
Two days later, Cleveland.
Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Cleveland Cavaliers is about to begin.
In the stands on the sidelines, in an inconspicuous corner, two oriental faces sat there, their eyes looking at the pitch, but there was not much fanaticism, but it was like some kind of experiment.
Something that allows them to decide what to do next, a special experiment. (To be continued.) )
