Rebound!

After recalling the process of this game many times in his mind, Chen Mu found the best positioning for himself.

Grabbing rebounds is not only one of the things that all basketball players and coaches are most concerned about, but also Chen Mu's strongest point.

In the three years since entering the NBA, Chen Mu has gradually evolved from a rebounder who can contribute double-digit rebounds on the bench to an offensive player with a certain mid-range shot and face frame means. Later, in the past season, Chen Mu became the main core of the Philadelphia 76ers, and almost all offenses were launched from him.

And Chen Mu himself has worked hard enough, coupled with the bonus of the plug-in system, now he has a quite reliable back-to-back offensive means, and he is in the limelight for a while.

This kind of super-fast evolution is the reason why countless people are optimistic about Chen Mu, and it is also the reason why a guy like Billikin will also give Chen Mu a poison contract with an annual salary of more than 15 million in the next two years.

But this kind of progress has also made many people forget in the game:

Chen Mu has always been the most feared rebounder in the NBA.

No, the whole world, to be exact.

"The U.S. team attacked, just now the Chinese team was coordinated by Chen Mu and Wang Lei twice in a row, and then it was a long pass after a rebound, and Sun Yue won the dunk. The Chinese team is now very vigorous, and the offensive end is playing quite well! ”

"In fact, the Chinese team's offensive feel today is very average."

Yoga was hi here, but Director Zhang coldly poured a basin of cold water and said: "The outside feel is good, and the three-point shot is very accurate, which is a good phenomenon." But what about the inside edge? Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian didn't feel good today, but Chen Mu's side, NBA players are too familiar with him. A group of super masters gathered together, which also caused a lot of trouble for Chen Mu. ”

"So up to now, the scoring efficiency of the Chinese team's interior players is not high. Especially Yi Jianlian, now it is 6 shots and 0 hits, when will you see Yi Jianlian in CBA in this situation? Very little! That's what happens when you're different. ”

Director Zhang continued: "But now the Chinese team is still ahead, what is the reason for this? It is because the Chinese team's strategy is in place, Coach Younas really trusts Chen Muna, this lineup, if the outside line can't be shot, the American team can launch a counterattack very smoothly. But with Chen Mu here, Younas is not panicking, rebounding. Our Chen Mu is the first in the world! ”

That's right, number one in the world.

Director Zhang said this, and many fans were stunned when they heard it at first, and they felt a little surprised.

But if you think about it, there's nothing wrong with that.

The NBA rebounding champion for two consecutive years, and the miracle of 30 rebounds in a single game, can't such a big forward be counted as the world's No. 1?

If it weren't for Chen Mu. I'm afraid Howard has already won his title as the rebounding champion. But even a guy with superhuman physical fitness like Howard was also defeated in front of Chen Mu, and I have to say that Chen Mu's rebounding strength. It's already at the historical level.

What's even more terrifying is that this evolution doesn't seem to have come to an end yet, and Chen Mu's rebounding statistics are still rising steadily.

"Smack!"

Another miss. The U.S. team seemed to be a bit of a mess, and Bryant finally didn't score a single shot after hitting a few difficult shots in a row.

Rebound? Of course, it was taken off by Chen Mu.

"Whoosh!"

Chen Mu's side. Wang Lei and Sun Yue already understood it and quickly rushed forward. But the U.S. team is not a vegetarian, Chen Mu still wants to make a long pass, but when he raised his eyes, he found that a person's running position has changed slightly.

"Humph......"

LeBron James, the best combination of speed and power, just gave Chen Mu and his 76ers painful memories in the playoffs. Now that he is on the international stage, it is LeBron again, and the route he took when he returned to the defensive position was quite strange.

There is no chance.

Chen Mu also calmed down and did not habitually make long passes.

Although Sun Yue and Wang Lei's physical fitness is considered top among the yellow race, they are still not comparable to Iguodala in the 76ers.

If there is an Iguodala on the flank of the Chinese team at this time, Chen Mu's long pass counterattack will definitely be more incisive. It's a pity that imagination is imagination after all, LeBron just simply adjusted the defense route, and sealed Chen Mu's long pass counterattack, this ability to make subtle adjustments made Chen Mu sigh again, LeBron deserves to be the pride of the sky.

Then stabilize your position!

Chen Mu handed over the ball, Liu Wei advanced steadily, Yao Ming had already gone to the frontcourt, and Chen Mu followed.

The two giant towers of the Chinese team sit on both sides of the penalty area, and the double-backed singles mode is on.

Liu Wei passed the ball, the first object was still Yao Ming, after receiving the ball, Yao Ming learned smartly, and was no longer in a hurry to turn around and attack, but first observed the surroundings and made sure that Liu Wei had taken Paul away before starting the back play.

"Da Yao singled with the ball, and this time the U.S. team didn't come up with a bag to see how the shot went...... Eh! No! The hook is not hit, Da Yao feels really bad today! ”

Yoga is still regretting this, but on the field over there, the guy on the weak side has started to start again.

"Rebounds are my ......!!!"

Chen Mu quickly turned around and stuck in position, stuck Anthony behind him, and rebounded in the footsteps has always been the focus of Chen Mu's practice. In addition to the rebounding point plug-in, Chen Mu was able to grab so many rebounds, not just by relying on God-given IMBA skills.

"Smack!"

It was another frontcourt rebound, and the lamentation that Wukesong had just sounded was instantly covered by cheers.

Then, turn around.

"Chen Mu, this is going to ...... Golden Rooster Independence! Basketball hits! Strike!!! China! The Chinese team is only 1 point behind! 43-44, with less than a minute left in the second quarter! ”

The score, still anxious......??

On the bench of the American team, the players were a little unable to come to their senses, and even the always calm veteran Kidd shook his head frequently, very puzzled by this situation.

The Chinese team, even if it is invincible in Asia, can be regarded as a second-rate team at most in the international basketball arena, right?

Didn't the U.S. set the tone for victory at half-time when they played against second-rate teams?

Why?

Why can't the U.S. team do it today?

"It's still rebounding."

Coach K also frowned on the side, shook his head slightly and said to himself, "No rebounds." There is no counterattack ......"

Without rebounding, there is no counterattack.

What a simple truth, what a simple strategy, just like the Chinese team has handed over the ball to the inside for almost every round except for the fast break since the beginning of the game, which is a simple idea of "I am higher than you, you have the ability to cover me".

It's such a simple way of thinking, it's such a simple way of playing, the American team, but it can't be broken.

Because of Chen Mu.

“GIVE-ME-BALLLLLLLL！”

On the court, Kobe Bryant, a paranoid, has already been demonic. opened his hand to ask for the ball again, and behind him was Sun Yue's defense, but Kobe Bryant ignored it, his eyes were full of anger.

Paul gave the ball, Kobe Bryant turned around, and made a feint in front of Sun Yue like a dragonfly, and then followed the pace and rushed to the basket.

Kobe Bryant wants a dunk!

Everyone can see that Kobe Bryant is going to be ruthless. Under the basket, Yao Ming was pulled out to the weak side, the Chinese team was empty, and Kobe Bryant was about to complete a violent dunk.

Then, Chen Mu came.

“…… Bang! ”

"Sturdy hat! Super Hot Pot !! Chen Mu covered Kobe Bryant! Cover Kobe Bryant!! ”

Yoga is completely unable to control the neutral attitude that this interpretive identity should have. In the shouting, the ball under Chen Mugai was taken by Sun Yue, and the last attack of the half, the Chinese team had the ball!

"Let's take a look. Can the Chinese team take the lead at half-time! ”

The clock ticked by, and in the last fifteen seconds, the U.S. players were on the lookout.

“BOX-OUT！ BOX-OUT！ ”

The Chinese team has not yet made a move. Coach K has already started shouting that the rebound is blocking people, although it sounds a little funny, but fans who watched the game can understand Lao K's mood:

From the last three minutes of the second half of the second quarter to now, Chen Mu has grabbed four frontcourt rebounds in succession, and during this time, the backcourt rebounds of the United States team are - zero.

Can a person's rebounding dominance reach such a degree?

Perhaps only Moses Malone, a 76ers celebrity who is far away in the United States and is sitting in front of the TV watching the game, can experience Chen Mu's feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance now.

"Pick-and-roll!"

In the remaining eight seconds, the Chinese team started to attack, Liu Wei called for blocking and dismantling in a high position, Chen Mu stepped forward and then dismantled down, and Liu Wei passed the ball to it.

Comfortable!

Basketball starts, Chen Mu also secretly praised in his heart, although Liu Wei has many problems, but in China, he is definitely one of the best main controllers, this time the passing position is just right, Chen Mu can start after receiving the ball.

Leaning forward one step forward, Anthony retreated half a step back as if he were facing a great enemy, strictly preventing Chen Mu from attacking the basket.

At the same time, Chen Mu made a move.

"Pull-up jump shot...... Middle!!!! ”

The basketball hit, and the U.S. team was anxious to send a baseline shot, but the Chinese team obviously expected this, and the overall defensive position was excellent, and the U.S. team was not given a chance.

"——! Toot"

The clock is running out and the half is over.

China, 45-44, leads by one point.

The opponent is the world's No. 1 basketball empire - the United States team.

At this moment, Wukesong and Chinese fans all over the world were completely excited.

Chances? Is there a chance?

The Chinese team, is it ...... Does it stand a chance against Team USA???

Although most reasonable fans are not so convinced, the situation on the field seems to be ......

It doesn't seem completely hopeless!

This question, after the discussion on the television station during the halftime break, and the heated discussion among the fans on the Internet, was answered in the first round after the start of the third quarter.

Anthony shot...... Or not! The rebounding ball is Chen Mu's !! ”

"Bang!"

Chen Mu landed on the ground, clamped the basketball with both hands, and looked like a bully under the basket from a distance.

I'm the rebounding king.

I'm the number one rebounder in the world......!!! (To be continued.) )
