Chapter 254: The Storm
Step on and turn, get Webb stuck, and jump on one foot.
Takeoff.
Chen Mu Feilong was in the sky, his body rose from the ground, and rushed to the basket in the air, the basketball in his hand was only one step away from the damn ring, a little bit of a gap.
A palm appears.
“RASHEED!!!”
The fans chanted, Rasheed Wallace directly let go of Hellam Porter, turned around and flew towards Chen Mu, holding his palm high to risk Chen Mu's inevitable dunk.
In Auburn Hills Palace, Chen Mu flew to dunk, and Wallace rushed to block inside, this scene is so familiar.
It's just that the last time he came to block Chen Mu, it was Daben who had left the team, and now it is Rashid who also has outstanding blocking ability to guard the Pistons.
Chen Mu, can you still dunk successfully?
In a moment's time, the answer is revealed.
"Beep!"
Rashid's palm touched the basketball, but his body also hit Chen Mu, making contact in the air, and the referee's whistle blew.
Rashid fouled and the basketball failed to score, but Chen Mu got a free throw.
Panting, Chen Mu stood on the free throw line, and the audience booed, and the fans did not have the slightest impression of this guy who had beaten the home team in his rookie season.
Want to win away from home? The piston does not agree!
Two free throws, Chen Mu hit steadily, but the boos of the fans did not weaken even a single point. In the midst of the wild boos, Chen Mu went back to the defense, and the score difference came to 9 points.
The Pistons sent out the baseline ball, Billups and Hamilton, who played well in this game, became the focus of the attack, and the front court went around the pile like a flower-like pass and cut coordination, and the weakest mid-range of Philadelphia's defense still appeared empty, and Hamilton hit the shot.
It's another 11 points, the clock is ticking, the game is getting closer and closer to the final whistle, and Pistons fans know they just need to hold on for five minutes. The game will simply be won.
In basketball, 10 points is a hurdle, and 5 points is also a hurdle. If the side chasing points wants to reverse the game, how to overcome these two hurdles is the key.
If the difference is more than 10 points, the leading side will be a little slack, and the backward side will have a chance to take advantage of it.
If the margin is between 5 and 10 points, the leader will concentrate and use enough time for each attack to focus on the success rate.
If the score difference is narrowed to within 5 points. The so-called lead of the leading side is very subtle, and no one dares to take it lightly in two rounds.
It can be said that in the process of chasing points, the play of skills and tactics is a level, and more importantly, it is how to make it difficult for the leading side to adjust its mentality. When the difference is 10 points, let the opponent play with the mentality of leading by a big score, and when it is 5 points behind. Let the opponent still play with a 10-point lead.
In this way, the underdog will have a chance to turn the tables.
For this problem, the solution given by 76 people is:
Rush!
"Whoosh!"
Before Hamilton, who was on the shot, had time to celebrate with Billups, Chen Mu had already made a super long pass under the basket.
Basketball whizzes by. Rushing through the Pistons defense, Korver, who couldn't hold Hamilton, was already in position, and after receiving the ball, he made a decisive three-point shot.
Middle!
Korver nodded, glancing heavily at the still shaking Nets. Go back and go.
Speed up the tempo and quickly close the score with a storm of attacks, an 11-point gap. As long as the success rate is guaranteed, it can be recovered in four to five rounds.
Four or five rounds, which is only two minutes on the court, are close to the score in the remaining 3 minutes or so, so that the Pistons have no time to adjust and complete the reversal in one go!
Is it possible?
Fans don't think so, it's just a three-pointer, an 8-point gap, and the Pistons hit a shot steadily, and it will be back to a double-digit difference.
The Pistons also think the same way, Philadelphia is good at fast breaks, which everyone has already understood very clearly in the pre-game preparation meeting. Even a defensive powerhouse like the Pistons can't guarantee that the 76ers' fast break will miss the whole game. It's normal to be beaten into a wave or two of fast attack once in a while.
Next, as long as you stabilize the situation and slowly grind the time to play the success rate, the initiative of the game is still in your own hands.
However, when Billups came to the front court with such an idea, the situation on the field changed dramatically.
"Bag Clip!"
As soon as Billups crossed the half-court line, Miller and Iguodala, who was defending Prince on the side, rushed up and began a frantic pack near the halfway line.
What a bold move!
Billups was shocked, he didn't expect Philadelphia to play a half-time package with five minutes left, and the scope of the package was so exaggerated, weren't they afraid that they would send a pass and Prince would score directly into the open position?
Still thinking about it, Billups had already passed the ball, Iguodala was close at hand, Billups sent a high pass, and Prince was coming to meet not far away, as long as the ball was in place, he could complete the open shot.
Then, Iguodala jumped.
"Smack!"
The incomparably fast jump, the speed of the bullet was even better than that of Chen Mu, Iguodala flew up and jumped into the air like a rocket, and with a stretch of his hands in mid-air, he touched the bottom of the basketball.
Worst!
Not far behind Iguodala, Prince saw this situation and screamed that it was not good, and immediately stepped forward to grab the ball.
Beside him, a figure sped by.
Fall to the ground and grab the ball!
Korver came out of nowhere, and once he desperately fell to the ground to grab the ball, grabbing the basketball with both hands before it hit the ground. Prince didn't stop and stepped forward to scramble with his long arms, but the moment Korver's back hit the ground, the basketball was quickly passed by him.
Miller turned around to catch the ball, Iguodala landed and ran wildly to the frontcourt, and a moment ago, Billups, who was frantically surrounded by the two of them, was empty, and suddenly became a transparent person, without half of the person's attention.
Catch, long pass, Iguodala dunks and scores.
Miller gasped as he watched Iguodala come back to his defense, the murderous look on the young man's face was extremely heavy, his brows were furrowed, his teeth were clenched, and he was as fierce as a villain kidnapper.
6 points difference.
“SlowTheFXXkingDown!”
Sanders hurried straight into the foul language, Billups' pass couldn't be said to be a mistake, but he didn't anticipate Iguodala's bounce.
This is the best partner by Chen Mu's side, and at the last moment of the game, his physical strength seems to be rising instead of falling. The posture of running all over the field has no intention of exhaustion.
Billups nodded at the head coach, looked back at Rashid, who was slowly delaying time on the baseline, ready to serve, the basketball flew out, and just as he wanted to reach out to catch it, he heard Hamilton's shouts behind him.
"Be careful!"
Hamilton watched Korver, who had just fallen to the ground and couldn't get up, rolled up, gritted his teeth and rushed to the front, being careful that he had just shouted, but it was still too late.
"All...... The whole field bag clamp is pressing! ”
The moment Billups received the ball and turned. Two pairs of waving arms appeared in front of him, Miller and Korver stepped forward to wrap up, Iguodala had retreated to the center circle, and Chen Mu and Daim Porter were eyeing the basket in the backcourt.
This...... It's like a front-court rush on a football field!
Philadelphia's adventurous move made Billups also a little flustered, looking at it, he had a lot of pass objects to choose from, but whoever received the ball would immediately be treated as a bag.
No matter who you pass it on, it doesn't look safe......!
"Smack!"
Billups' hesitation. was seen by Miller, and as soon as the knife was broken, the basketball was directly broken.
The next layup was too easy for Miller.
"Good Ball !!"
Cheeks shook his fist and shouted loudly. The 76ers players did not change their faces, all of them had bandit faces, staring fiercely at the Pistons players who were a little unable to come back to their senses, and it was showering. It doesn't seem to be over yet.
"Shouldn't we try to defend our offense and then play the counter-attack that they do best?"
Billups was in a trance. In terms of game time, it is far from the time when it is necessary to give it up so desperately, and the Pistons players also believe that the 76ers' strategy should be to defend with all their might, and then use the fast break to close the gap.
But who would have thought that these boys would suddenly come up with such an aggressive full-court clamping strategy?
They...... Are you going to press until the end of the game like this......?
Fans of Auburn Hills Palace also couldn't believe it, shouldn't this kind of scene only appear in the last minute or two of the game? What the hell is Philadelphia thinking?
"Rashid!"
The most important thing to solve this situation is Rashid, who is tall, has good passing skills, has a lot of experience, has plenty of power, and has a long-range shooting skills. Billups received the ball and immediately returned the ball, and Rashid strode into the court to receive the ball, holding the basketball high in search of a pass.
That's right!
Sanders nodded vigorously, and the reaction of the players made him very satisfied, Rashid as a passing point in the backfield, no matter how you Miller and Korver wrapped, the height difference was there, and it was absolutely impossible to break the ball again.
If you have the ability, let the Chinese kid try it!
Then Sanders saw that the Chinese kid was really special and ran to the frontcourt......
“FXXK!”
Where would Rashid expect this, seeing Chen Mu rushing over violently, his heart was also anxious, and Yu Guang saw that Billups had already run through the bag defense to the middle line, and immediately passed the ball.
“NICEPASS!”
Billups received the ball, and he had already calculated the follow-up options in his heart, Rashid's pass timing was good, and after turning to face the 76ers at halftime, there will only be two defenders on the 76ers' side, and the Pistons will have a short 4-on-2 opportunity, which will definitely be ......
"Bang!" "Beep! ”
"Pistons No. 1, offensive foul!"
What the?!!!
As soon as Billups turned around, he bumped into a man, and after he fell to the ground, he heard the referee's penalty.
I offense foul ?!!!
Billups was about to go crazy, and just as he wanted to reason with the referee, Iguodala gradually stood up in front of him.
"Patronizing and thinking about how to attack, I didn't expect me to be here......!"
Iguodala smiled at the corners of his mouth, and reached out to rub his chest, and this time it was a collision, and it was obvious that the young man was also choking on pain.
The whole Pistons team was a little shaken, and the front three went to trap Rashid, prompting him to pass the ball to Billups to launch a 4-on-2, is it a trap?
Iguodala was in place in advance very accurately, could it be that even his follow-up choices were seen through by this young man??
Suddenly, Chen Mu, the core of the 76ers' inner line, scored another goal with his back alone, and the score difference was only 2 points, and the Pistons shouted to stop. (To be continued......)
