Five days after the game against the Jazz, the Philadelphia 76ers tasted their first defeat of the new season.

The Philadelphia 76ers, who set a record for consecutive NBA opening wins last season, have shown even more dominance since the start of the new season than last season. But the appearance of this defeat has sounded the alarm bell for them.

“YES…… YESYESYESYESYES！！！！ ”

At the end of the game, the whistle blew, and the Grizzlies, who won at home, couldn't believe what they had done, clearly winning, but it was still in a dream.

It wasn't until the cheers of the fans rang out and the Philadelphia players walked back to the players' tunnel that Rudy Gay, Conley, O.J. Mayo, Randolph, Gasol Jr. and others were finally convinced that they had indeed defeated the mighty Philadelphia.

The shouts of the players were completely heard.

"It's deflated."

Back in the dressing room, Carlisle didn't lash out, didn't blame the players, not even angry.

He just put down the tactical board and quietly watched the players, watching the players hang their heads one by one.

“…… Alas! ”

After a long time, Chen Mu spoke first, shook his head and sighed: "You should win." ”

"How?"

Carlisle asked with interest.

"Some of the ball was not handled well, the shot was hasty, and it should have been won."

Chen Mu replied.

"Which balls exactly? It doesn't matter, what comes to mind, what to say, casually discuss and discuss. ”

"Hmm...... There was a ball in the second half of the second quarter. ”

Chen Mu didn't know what Carlisle thought, but since the coach said it, he still frowned and recalled: "At that time, I was holding the ball, and I wanted to turn around and walk to the basket, and then find an opportunity to make the ball for Darko." But seeing that Zach's defensive position was a little behind, he hooked his hand. ”

The ball. The result, of course, was not in.

"Well, that's good, but what?"

Carlisle continued to ask.

"And ...... Three rounds later, Andre held the ball and cut in from the middle to find a foul, but the referee didn't blow it. Finally, there is the striking of iron. I was too far out in that round to grab a rebound in the frontcourt, and they hit a quick counterattack. In the end, it seems to be ...... Guy's dunk? ”

Chen Mu continued.

Good memory.

"Yes, it's Guy's dunk, but it's not just that dunk...... Go on. ”

"And the second half of the third quarter, when the transition was made, Allen ...... I'm sorry, but I'm going to be straight. ”

Iverson nodded, what does Chen Mu have to do with him? It's good to be outspoken. This is the character that Iverson admires the most.

"Aaron, you didn't handle it well that round. Later, Mayo came over, proving that Kyle should be empty. Although Kyle hasn't been to the front court yet, it's better to pass to the outside at that time, right? ”

Chen Mu said.

“…… That's right, I was a little anxious and took it myself. ”

Iverson nodded.

"If you say anything further...... Well, with that said, we had a lot of reluctance throughout the second and third quarters. The processing was rushed. ”

In Chen Mu's mind, countless pictures came back to me.

"Well said. That's enough. ”

Carlisle nodded appreciatively, now this team is at the historical level, Carlisle himself knows it very well. Although the opponents they will face in the playoffs are also extremely strong, Philadelphia is definitely not just a self-defeating slogan to win the championship.

We definitely hope to do it.

Here's the problem......

"Everyone has heard Chen's analysis. The main time period when we have problems is in the second and third periods. When was that? It's the tug-of-war phase of the game. ”

Carlisle said: "We have a very bad habit. ”

"Maybe it's because from last season to now, we've often broken down opponents in the second and third quarters, and we've taken them away in waves. So in our hearts, there is a delusion. ”

said. Carlisle turned around and wrote down a word with a marker on the large whiteboard in the locker room.

Destroy.

"We always felt that in the middle of the game, we could destroy the opponent as soon as we made a force. If you think about it, do you all have this idea in your heart? ”

This one......

The players looked at each other, and when they thought about it, they all bowed their heads.

That's right, we're used to winning, especially in the regular season.

We are used to it, whether it is a system or a superstar, as long as we enter the stage of tug-of-war in the middle, we can always play a wave of attacks, open the score in one fell swoop, and lay the victory.

We got used to it, and after the third quarter, the team was leading by more than ten or twenty points. The substitute came on the field with full firepower, and the ball flew upwind, and then the opponent lost his fighting spirit and the game was taken away.

We're used to this feeling of destroying the opposition, we're used to winning consistently, we're used to garbage time in the fourth quarter.

So, we slacked off.

We are all thinking about how we need to get rid of our opponents as soon as possible, how can an opponent of this level beat us!

So sometimes, when the other party catches up with some scores, we will be anxious and feel strange:

Huh? Why is it so bad today? Why didn't Kyle and Stephen make three points? Why did Andre make a mistake? Why is Allen hot-headed and the ball that shouldn't be played? Why can't even Chen's best mid-shot be in? ?

The more impatient we are, the more we want to exert ourselves. The more you want to exert force, the more you can't find the right part.

So, everything fell apart.

"It's the disease of wealth."

Carlisle saw the pensive looks of the players, and nodded heavily in his heart, this defeat was not in vain.

"But unlike the Lakers' wealth disease, they have wealth disease because they are full of honor, and they have always been the king's teacher. Even if you fall to the bottom, you can rise quickly in just a few years, and you can trade a few superstars! ”

"We're different, we don't have that many accolades, we haven't even won a championship yet. So our affluence disease, I call it 'regular season affluence disease'. ”

Carlisle sat across from the players and said, "For more than a year, we have been invincible in the regular season. Losing once in a while, it's either an injury or a team-wide disorder, but we don't think it's okay and we'll be able to adjust for the next game. ”

But is that really the case? Can we really, every time? Chen, is it really a god descending from the earth, can he twist it back with one hand in any situation? Not really! ”

After saying this, Chen Mu also understood and let out a sigh of relief.

"Didn't the Celtics teach us enough lessons in the playoffs last season?"

Carlisle pointed outside the locker room and continued, "Hundreds of kilometers away, Suns, you're all familiar with it. They're exactly like us, they also have 'regular season wealth sickness'. ”

"How many years has it been in a row? After owning Nash, how many years in a row have they been invincible in the regular season with their devastating offense? Why is it that when it comes to the playoffs, it is always a loss for this reason and that reason, and the finals stage can't be on? Are they not worthy of the championship? Of course not! ”

"Their regular season was so smooth, it was too easy, the whole team watched Nash perform, the shooter shot, Xiao Si dunked, and the game was spent all at once. In the playoffs, there are fewer chances, the defense is more targeted, and the opponent's strength is equal to himself, or even stronger than himself. ”

"They're confused."

That's right......!

Chen Mu also admired Carlisle, and his words were in place, accurate, and to the point.

The Suns, indeed, are such a team.

In the playoffs, other players didn't play well, and the whole team stood and watched Nash rush inside, making various drifting layups and back-to-back shots to chase down three-pointers. But it couldn't stop the overall offense and defense of the Spurs and Lakers, and finally lost.

The regular season was too smooth, and there was a wealth disease. In the playoffs, or in a scorching game, the opponent happens to play abnormally, and when their own side plays abnormally, they are in a hurry, they mess around, they don't shoot the ball, and they don't shoot the opportunity.

As soon as the iron symphony sounded, the sun lost inexplicably.

We, too.

"This game is a wake-up call and I want to remind you that we are not invincible, absolutely not. Whether it's the strength of the book or the real level, many teams are on the same level as us, or even higher. ”

Carlisle paused for a long time, giving the players enough time to think, before he continued: "In the future, we will still lose, we will not play well, we will meet explosive opponents, and we will lose ourselves in the sea of away fans. However, don't panic. ”

"Play steadily, find tactics, find cooperation, calm down, and choose singles in the most suitable position. In the previous game against the Jazz, I arranged for you to go up to the singles one by one, so that you can have confidence. Now that we lost this game, God let you know that self-confidence is not everything. ”

"Winning is."

“…… GOT-IT-SIR！ ”

All the staff responded in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Grasp the balance between self-confidence and pride, we are strong, but how is it compared to the Lakers? How is it compared to the Celtics? How is it compared to a knight? How about the Bulls, who won 72 wins? ”

"We are not gods, we are gifted people. People should do things according to the way people behave. Suddenly, I felt it, the light of God shone down, and I will fight whatever you want. But if you don't have that feeling of 'no one can stop me', but 'how can he stop me', remember, calm ......! ”

After speaking, Carlisle got up, patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Let's go, the press conference is going, they must have a lot of tricky questions waiting for you, and they want you to make a fool of yourself!"

"Do you want me to make a fool of myself?"

Chen Mu also smiled, and a confident smile returned to his face: "It's always been them who make a fool of themselves, okay~"

The Philadelphia 76ers ended their winning streak after a 12-game winning streak at the start of the season.

When Chen Mu was fighting at the press conference, a "NBA star power list" was spread on the Internet.

Chen Mu, what is the ......? (To be continued.) )
