Bruce Bowen, it's been a long, long time since I've tasted such bitter frustration.

"Huh"

Looking at the rookie Chen Mujia on the free throw line, Bowen's mouth pursed, and the expression on his face was as ugly as if he had just eaten a fly.

In the face of the scorer, Bowen believes that there are 100 ways to defend, and in addition to these 100 conventional methods, he will also add a little "seasoning" to this defensive strategy from time to time.

This flavor is a small action.

There are many small action players in the league, such as John Stockton, who firmly controls the all-time assists and steals charts, is a good player. Many players have said that they are the last thing they want to play against this lean and taciturn white man.

Stockton's small move is not in the amount of quality, but in the staggering quantity. If you look closely at the footage of previous games, it is not difficult to find that many players will suddenly pause in the process of dribbling for no reason, or suddenly stop a little when playing against Stockton.

Or some hot-tempered players will suddenly explode in anger during the seemingly normal attack and defense of the two card positions, and push the assist king away.

All of this is due to the fact that Stockton is always making small movements.

Pulling the jersey, knuckles against the bones, elbows secretly breaking, and mixing under the feet...... Stockton used all the little moves perfectly, not only to achieve the goal, but also to fool the eyes of most referees.

In addition, there are some players who take a more insolent route, such as the famous Pistons bad boy army interior bully Bill Ranbill, who looks like he has just experienced a hangover, broke five people with finger cuffs in a bar brawl, and just got out of jail after bail, and immediately took a taxi to the court, which can be said to be a lingering nightmare for the entire NBA between the 80s and early 90s.

Every player, as long as they dare to enter the Pistons' restricted area, a group of "villains" led by Ranbier will not hesitate to mess with these players, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to directly elbow the opponent out of the air.

Whether it is a "graceful faction" like Stockton or a "bold faction" like Ranbir, these small action masters have only one purpose:

The scorer's inner fear prevented him from continuing to perform the scoring maneuvers that he had practiced thousands of times.

And Bruce Bowen is the collective projection of all the "villains" in NBA history in the 21st century.

Bowen's defensive style is despised by people, but it has to be admitted that his role on the court is very significant.

Beginning in 2000 and ending in 2008, Bowen was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team for eight consecutive years, including three second-team and five-time first-team selection.

You know, these honors are won in the hands of Kobe, Kidd, Payton, Artest and other outside defensive players, and Bowen's defensive skills can be seen.

"As long as there is a trace of fear in the opponent's heart, it will definitely affect his technical movements, the usual easy shooting will be deflected, the violent dunk of the evil in the heart will smash the frame and fly, the simple and incomparably ground-hitting pass will be inexplicably wrong, and everything will develop in the direction that is not conducive to the opponent."

Adhering to this defensive philosophy, Bowen has not had much trouble.

However, tonight, a rookie made him a little helpless.

"When"

The Spurs missed the attack, this is their fourth consecutive offensive iron, the impatience continues to spread, the whole team is complaining to each other, and the Spurs, who have always been calm, are finally showing fatigue.

The crisp rebound was taken off, Chen Mu glanced at the corner of his eyes, and after giving the basketball to Iverson, he ran wildly and quickly came to the front court.

Iverson accurately sent the ball in place, and behind Chen Mu, Bowen had also arrived, and was holding Chen Mu's waist to prevent him from making an offensive move.

Chen Mu tried to dribble and turn around, but due to his poor technique, it was not smooth, and he staggered to the face frame state, looking at Bowen's stern expression, and began to make a triple threat move.

"Come on, rookie!"

Bowen roared, "What other tricks do you have this time?? Is it CIC? Is it a feint? Is it a pull-up jumper? Or do you want to just get past me and have a violent buckle?? ”

Bowen sat very low, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "No matter what you want to do, I won't let you succeed......!" ”

"Oh, is that ......?"

Chen Mu smiled when he heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the basket.

"Don't think about pulling it out!"

Bowen immediately stepped forward to block, but Chen Mu's upper body did not move, but suddenly made a horizontal pass.

Chen Mu's side, Iverson has already rushed, although Chen Mu's pass is a bit big as always, but with a good sense of the ball, Iverson still controlled the basketball, and then shook Parker in one step, and came to the basket to hit a light pick-and-roll shot.

"It's a pity that this time, I'm going to pass the ball~"

Celebrating with Iverson's fist, Chen Mu looked at Bowen with a look of indignation, and turned back to his own half.

"Chinese Kid ......!!!"

The dissatisfaction in Bowen's heart has risen to the extreme, watching Chen Muyou talk and laugh and go back, unspeakably unwilling and unhappy.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

At this time, Chen Mu was actually not comfortable, this game has been played for a full 20 minutes, coupled with obviously more opportunities to handle the ball than usual, which makes Chen Mu's physical fitness decline extremely fast.

In fact, at the end of the half, Chen Mu had already felt that his legs began to tremble slightly, and he was a little involuntary.

After halftime, the situation was alleviated, but the third quarter was about to end, and fatigue still caught up with Chen Mu, making him a little breathless.

"Again...... Score one more goal...... Score one more goal and you're done......! ”

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and insisted, in front of his eyes, a small prompt bar was not very conspicuous, and he couldn't see it clearly if he didn't look carefully.

"Badge Collecting Mission: Score 25 points per match."

Looking up at the technical statistics table, Chen Mu has scored 23 points so far, and he is only one step away from the goal.

"As long as I complete the mission, I can get the badge of 'Scoring Shooter', and my scoring ability will go to ...... next level!"

Chen Mu gritted his teeth to defend, and under his interference, Duncan, who had always been stable, actually missed the hook, and the rebound was taken off by Chen Mu.

"Attack!"

Iverson shouted, took Chen Mu's pass and ran quickly, the two wings, the two figures followed like shadows, Iguodala on the left, Chen Mu on the right, just like Iverson's wingman, started a textbook-like three-line fast attack!

Coming to the front court, facing Parker's pursuit, Iverson glanced up and sent the ball to Iguodala on the left.

Iguodala pressed his center of gravity very low, dribbled quickly, and took a few steps to the basket, and Ginobili was already defending.

Iguodala stopped under the basket and then hit a nolookingpass, and the basketball was flicked through his right hand.

Near the free throw line, Chen Mu had already rushed to the ball, caught the basketball with both hands, and didn't look at the desperate Ginobili under the basket, he stepped down directly and flew up.

"Bang!"

"The Chinese kid scored a violent dunk and scored a new career high in a single game...... 25 minutes ......! ”

The commentator uttered the phrase almost mechanically, and the SBC Center Arena fell silent for a moment, in contrast to the ecstasy of the 76ers. On the bench and on the court, all the players were celebrating Chen Mu, as if it was not Chen Mu who had just scored a violent score, but themselves.

Iguodala came to Chen Mu's side, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said, "YO~ Chen, the buckle is so beautiful!" ”

"Multi-...... Thank you ......"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, and just wanted to express his gratitude to Iguodala for his wonderful biography, but suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and then his eyes went black, and he fell to the floor on the ground.

After that, there was a hectic sound in the chaos, Chen Mu's eyelids seemed to be filled with lead, and at the moment when the eyelids were about to close, Chen Mu seemed to hear the team doctor say something like "physical overdraft", and then, Chen Mu fell asleep.

When Chen Mu opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the away team's locker room, and the team doctor was hurriedly contacting the hospital, preparing saline to replenish his physical strength, and immediately giving Chen Mu an infusion.

"Than ...... How's the game going......? ”

Chen Mu opened his mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Lost."

The team doctor saw Chen Mu wake up, and while signaling Chen Mu not to continue to talk and conserve his strength, he sighed and said: "After you got off the field, there was a big problem with our offense, and Ginobili on the Spurs side seemed to be inspired by your violent dunk and began to exert his power. ”

"Oh......? It's a shame......"

Chen Mu only felt extremely sore all over his body, he had never been so tired in his life, and asked, "How long has it been since the game ended?" What about everyone? ”

"It was over about three minutes ago, and Coach Cheeks was furious and was training them next door!"

The team doctor made a silent gesture, motioned to the beautiful assistant on the side to replenish some water for Chen Mu, and continued: "Don't think about it so much first, your physical strength has been completely exhausted, and I don't know how you survived in the last few rounds, in short, rest first, wait for the salt water to be in place, and then hang it up!" ”

“……”

Chen Mu stopped talking, closed his eyes and fell into a half-asleep state.

In front of his eyes, a shiny badge was fluttering in mid-air, with an abstract shooting gesture above it, and below the square badge, a line of text radiated a wonderful brilliance.

"Congratulations, you've earned the 'Scorer' badge!"
