Chapter 196: Speed! Velocity! (Above)
"These guys...... All crazy! β
On the sidelines of the Wajovia Center Arena, the old coach George Karl frowned, looking at the situation on the field, and his heart was indescribable.
The Nuggets attacked again, still with Anthony holding the ball on the strong side, finding a little space after several consecutive shakes, and quickly shooting.
"Dang!"
The shot was a little hasty, with Iguodala's interference paying off and Anthony's mid-range shot missed. As soon as the basketball bounced off the basket, a yellow-skinned figure rose to the ground, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the rebound fiercely.
"Isn't it ......"
"Whoosh!"
Anthony himself had just landed, and a sense of uneasiness had just been born in his heart, and the basketball had already been quickly transmitted by Chen Mu.
"It's another fast attack!"
The 76ers' offensive and defensive transitions were so fast that it was difficult to react, and Chen Mu's pass was extremely fast, like a sharp sword directly tearing through the entire defense of the Nuggets and stuffing it into Iguodala's hands.
After receiving the ball, Iguodala did not make too many adjustments, Chen Mu's passing has become more and more sophisticated and calm, and there is no deviation in the lightness of the hand, as if the huge power used in the previous pass has been completely offset by precise calculations in the air, so that Iguodala can directly dribble and launch a lightning raid without adjusting the step point.
Riding to the front, Iverson reacted the fastest, and he had already quickly kept up with his former little brother.
According to Iguodala's original habit, this ball must choose to pass. But in the process of dribbling, he glanced at the Nuggets players and began to make targeted defensive runs, and Korver, who was shouldering the task of fast-break arrows with him, was followed by Blake.
Not far away, the footsteps of Martin and Anthony returning to the defense were also ringing, and if Iguodala made another pass at this time, it would delay the fighter.
Don't think about it anymore!
With the basket in front of him, Iguodala couldn't help but think of the heroic dunk he made in the last game.
Iverson beside him was already about to rush in front of him with speed, and Iguodala no longer hesitated. The free throw line began to jump next, and the whole person soared like a falcon, and the basketball in his hand almost erupted into flames and smashed into the basket.
βBAMοΌβ
With Barkley's yelling. Philadelphia once again counterattacked at the speed of light, 7-4, and the 76ers, who had weak attack power, actually used the offensive battle to gain a slight advantage in the first few minutes!
"That's right. That's right! β
Barkley admires Philadelphia's desperate stance, which fits his basketball philosophy, if I can't stop you, then I'll blow you up on the offensive end!
What strength gap, what talent crushing, what all-round attacker, what exquisite positional coordination, at this moment is no longer important.
The Philadelphia 76ers are going to fight the Nuggets to the end!
"Kenny, you're not wrong. But it's too conservative, too conservative~"
Seeing the Nuggets attack again, under the 76ers' light-speed counterattack, the Nuggets and a group of star players seemed to be a little unable to adapt, and actually took the initiative to lower the tempo to fight a positional battle.
"You see, the Nuggets are playing positional battles now, although their combat configuration ensures that they can score 100 points even if they are grinding their positions throughout the game. But this is not the best choice to play to the advantages of the Nuggets in battle, these birds and beasts. Only in the rapid counterattack and continuous offensive and defensive battles can the maximum combat power be brought into play. β
Barkley pointed to the arena and analyzed it with a serious face: "There is no problem with the 76ers' tactical choice. Perhaps fans will question that they are using their weaknesses against the opponent's strengths, which is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. But if you think about it, although the 76ers are good defensively, they are not a strong defensive team anyway, right? β
Hearing Barkley's words, Kenny Smith was also stunned. After thinking about it for a while, he nodded silently.
"Because of this, after thinking about this, I believe everyone will not be so puzzled by the light-speed counterattack strategy given by the 76ers."
Barkley watched the situation on the court, after Anthony missed the last shot, this time the offense was a little anxious, and he chose to force a layup under Iguodala's strict defense. On physical contact, the referee did not blow for Iguodala's defensive foul as Anthony had hoped.
"With the defensive strength of the 76ers, even if they try their best to defend, call the whole family to the court, and directly defend with 50 people, they may not be able to defend the Nuggets' offense. On the contrary, if they do the opposite, using their fast-break trident, which has gradually formed, to attack the Nuggets......"
"Huh"
On the court, Anthony was still complaining about the unfairness of the referee's blowing penalty, and Chen Mu had already grabbed the rebound and launched a fast attack. It was still Iguodala who held the ball, and after a quick rush, he suddenly passed the ball in the face of Iverson's pursuit, and Korver was unable to receive the ball with Blake's interference, and the basketball actually flew backwards and fell into the hands of Chen Mu, who followed up. The latter did not hesitate to shoot a shot, and the basketball brushed into the net.
"Then the 76ers will have a real chance of winning!"
Barkley's analysis is exactly what Cheeks has in mind. The Philadelphia coach looked calm, not overly excited about the players' performance, just nodding slightly.
However, the posture of clenching the fist with his right hand still exposes the coach's thoughts:
Well done, brothers!
Was this unbelievably bold tactical strategy the brainchild of Cheeks alone, or was it something to do with the advice of one of the team's always whimsical players? Except for the Philadelphia 76ers players, I'm afraid no one knows the answer.
"Now the 76ers are still an ordinary starting lineup, in my opinion, the purpose is to limit the Nuggets' offense under the basket, and use Steven's defensive pressure to force the Nuggets to shoot from the long range. If the Nuggets are disrupted by the 76ers' continuous fast break in the opening game and their feel declines, then the 76ers can establish a certain advantage in the opening stage and set a good tone for the subsequent games. β
Although Barkley looks very arrogant on weekdays, when it comes to really analyzing the situation on the court and the tactics of both sides, he looks quite professional, and he deserves to be a Hall of Fame-level superstar.
"Oh? Then according to what you mean by Spliggy Jazz, the 76ers will have a follow-up move? β
Kenny Smith also understood a little, looked at Barkley with interest and said, "Since you have an idea, why don't you tell me about it?" β
βNONONO~β
Kenny Smith's "provocation" really worked, Barkley pretended to wave his fingers, instantly returned to the comic form, and said with a big smile: "It's hard to say now, but I can reveal one thing in advance, as the game deepens, Philadelphia will definitely make a substitution choice outside the ordinary rotation to further speed up!" β
Off the field, the game continues.
βDAMNοΌ The opening game was beaten 9-4! β
Blake was firmly in control of the ball, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger. Now the Nuggets players have also understood that the 76ers' opening raid was not just for show, but was ready to carry it out from beginning to end.
Not to mention that Philadelphia's already scarce attackers can support the team to bomb at the speed of light throughout the game, even if they have enough firepower, the Nuggets have never been afraid of attacking each other!
"Aaron!"
As soon as his mind moved, Blake made a new tactical gesture without moving, and seeing the point guard's gesture, Anthony understood, and suddenly started from the strong side and ran around the bottom line. After Martin and Camby made a reverse screen and sent Anthony to the weak side, Blake's ball suddenly headed near the free throw line.
Iverson had already started early, starting from the bottom corner, taking advantage of the local chaos caused by Anthony's shuttle to the free throw line, and after receiving the basketball, Korver didn't have time to catch up, and the former scoring champion opened his hand to make a mid-range shot.
The basketball fell neatly into the frame, and even the Nets barely moved.
"Carmelo started with a bit of a mess, but Allen had a good touch!"
After high-fives with Iverson, Blake quickly calculated the situation on the court and made a preliminary tactical choice for the next few rounds.
"Andre is their defensive strength, and the weakest link on the perimeter is Kyle. Allen and Kyle are old teammates, and they must have a good understanding of his defensive habits, so let's just open up the situation from Allen's point! β
Blake's tactical choice was extremely successful, after Iverson hit the shot, because he and Blake were both at the free throw line and could quickly return to defense, the 76ers could not directly launch a counterattack through Chen Mu's long pass from the bottom line, and the offensive rhythm plummeted, and Miller could only advance and attack slowly.
But all this, Chen Mu had expected it a long time ago.
"Chen!"
When he came to the front court, Miller did not stick to the ball and quickly handed the ball to Chen Mu, who followed up. Chen Mu stood on the free throw line, and with a hand, Martin quickly stepped forward to force it.
On the other side, Korver used Hunter's cover to get to the bottom corner, and Iverson was stopped by Hunter and hurriedly shouted for Canby to make up the defense.
At this moment, a huge super dislocation was formed under the basket.
"Whoosh"
Chen Mu's pass passed through Martin's crotch and went directly to Hunter. The big man who had just made a cover received the ball and turned back and got up directly, pressing Iverson is a violent dunk.
"11 to 6!"
After scoring, Hunter turned his head and stretched out his hand to Chen Mu with a serious face to express his gratitude. Chen Mu also nodded slightly, and there was no trace of turbulence on his face.
"There is a fast attack method for converting the ball, and there is also a fast attack method for positional warfare!"
In Chen Mu's mind, all the basketball knowledge that he has been exposed to over the years became active in an instant, and together with his passing skills, he became a fighter search radar on the court.
"Just like a net interception in tennis, you don't have to make a choice after you've run a game, and you don't have to be a good scorer at the end of the attack. As long as I have the opportunity, I will never miss the pass......! (To be continued.) )
