"Good Ball !!"

In the arena of the American Airlines Center in Dallas, the first quarter of the game between the Mavericks and the 76ers is coming to an end.

There were only 3 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, and after the 76ers' substitute Chen Mu came on the court, he did not continue the previous rule of "one god and one ghost" in the away trip, but broke out continuously, bringing immediate results to the team.

As soon as he came on the field, Chen Mu was slightly silent at first, and he had no way to be defended by Dampier. But later, with the help of Iverson, Chen Mu quickly found his senses, and continuously used his foot breakthrough and bullet speed to single-handedly challenge Dampier and eat it raw.

Due to the extremely good execution of the 76ers' tactics, the rest of the team's players are all piled up on the strong side, and under the strange tactics, Chen Mu is given enough space to play, even if the dribbling skills are sparse, there is no need to worry about being stealed.

In fact, the Mavericks also reacted quickly after that, and the strong-side defender closest to Chen Mu made up the defense.

But in this way, Chen Mu's passing skills have been brought into play again, and he often sends wonderful passes at the critical point where he is about to be cut off, assisting his outside teammates to score.

On the other hand, the Mavericks' own starting lineup has decreased in physical strength, and the side effects of continuous high-intensity offense and defense are beginning to appear.

The offensive shooting rate has declined, and the defensive attention has declined, especially after the main center Dampier was fouled by Chen Mu twice, Diop, who came off the bench, was slower, and there was nothing he could do about Chen Mu.

Under the elimination of each other's strengths, the 76ers continued to play good shots, and the rest of the players except Chen Mu also opened fire, and the score was soon forced to close.

With Chen Mu's running shot, the score of the two sides came to 21-27, and the 76ers fell behind.

"Good, good fight!"

In the final three seconds, the Mavericks missed a long-range three-pointer, and the game went into an intermission. Cheeks was very satisfied with the performance of the players and nodded in praise.

"Dampier goes down, Diop's footsteps are more leaky, Chen, you have to break through resolutely, if you can force Dampier to play as soon as possible, and create another foul on Dampier, our inside line will have the advantage in this game!"

Cheeks played a very good game, with two fouls in the first quarter, and in theory, Johnson would not have replaced Dampier at the beginning of the second quarter.

And with Dampier's previous experience, Diop will definitely be more careful when defending Chen Mu, and easily do not reach out, even if Chen Mu scores, he will not be fouled many times too early.

You know, in addition to Dampier and Diop, the only player on the Mavericks roster who can play center is Mbenga. Fans who know the Congolese player well know that defending an athletic interior is not his forte.

As for the Russian giant who didn't even make it to the tournament squad, and the best super tower Pod Kolkin who is known as Shaq and combines height, weight and agility ......? Hehe......

Therefore, in the first half of the second quarter, the focus is: whether Chen Mu played Diop first and didn't want it, and forced the little general to be replaced with Dampier again. It was Diop who played well and gave Dampier enough time to rest until Chen Mu ran out of energy.

Cheeks bet on the former.

The break ended quickly, and the referee prompted the two sides to prepare for the second quarter of the game, and the 76ers players shouted slogans in unison and stepped into the court with their heads held high.

At this time, the 76ers' lineup has been completely replaced by the bench lineup led by Chen Mu, and the Mavericks have also replaced the lineup of Darryl Armstrong, Harris, Stackhouse, Van Horn, and Diop.

When the game restarted, Mavericks fans were disappointed to find that Dampier's departure made Chen Mu's outburst last longer, and the dazzling brilliance he exuded was even more shocking.

A close-range shot after a strong dribble.

Turn around the bottom line and buckle your hands with your backhand.

Sudden stop mid-distance Yan-shot into the net (showing the true character of an idiot, the scene is unsightly).

After the zombie-like hook missed, he scrambled for a rebound in the frontcourt, and the second offense made a foul.

One step inside the free throw line to lick the basket FingerRoll.

Consecutive frontcourt rebounds and rebounds to finally score.

After the weak-side defense arrived, he quickly split the ball to revitalize the attack.

In the fast break, he received the ball from a mid-distance distance, leaned forward and swiped the net into the frame.

……

In the first half of the second quarter, the game was like Chen Mu's personal offensive show, Diop, who was slower than Dampier and had less experience and technology, had a lot of experience in defending heavy weapons, but in front of a mobile police like Chen Mu, he was as sluggish as a stump.

And Johnson, the young general who has been criticized for his weak ability to adjust the game all year round, did not make any adjustments in the face of such a brutal situation, and almost watched the team's lead being gradually eroded, until the score was overtaken in the middle of the second quarter, and he couldn't bear to call a timeout.

40-38, the 76ers overtook the score on the road.

"Chen, can you hold on for a few more minutes?"

After the game, Cheeks did not praise himself as Chen Mu expected, but frowned and looked at the Mavericks bench, and asked: "Just two to three minutes, hold on until the remaining three minutes of the second quarter and then replace you, can you afford it?" ”

"There's nothing too big a problem with physical strength, after all, the first quarter is late." Chen Mu nodded, and then puzzled: "But coach, your rotation has always been relatively fixed, why do you suddenly have to make adjustments?" ”

"First, I don't want Hunter to go up and fight their defensive center, and second, ......"

Cheeks' eyes narrowed, he looked at the big man in the No. 25 jersey on the Mavericks' bench, and continued: "If you can quickly make another foul on Dampier after the timeout and let him go off the court immediately, we have a good chance of winning...... ”

"I see."

Chen Mu thought for a moment when he heard this, nodded and said: "Indeed, as long as he has a shadow in his heart when he defends me, and he doesn't dare to make a move, I will have no one to stop in this game!" ”

"That's right, so in the two minutes after the timeout, even if you are tired to death, you have to find a way to make him another foul!" Cheeks gave Chen Mu enough trust and was ready to let go of his hands and let Chen Mu try again.

The timeout ended quickly, and the players on both sides returned to the court, and the 76ers' side Iverson, Webb, Iguodala, and Korver all returned to the lineup, with Chen Mu as the center, and put on the strongest offensive lineup that the team could put on, obviously preparing to dominate in the second quarter and suppress the Mavericks.

On the Mavericks' side, it was clear that he was already on the court with a full starting lineup, but at the moment when Dampier was about to step onto the field, the little general Johnson suddenly saw that the 76ers had left Chen Mu, and immediately grabbed Dampier, and then stretched out his hand and sent Harris.

"Is that okay?!"

Cheeks was very dissatisfied with the opponent's temporary adjustment and argued with the referee for a few words. However, the referee said that Dampier had not yet stepped on the pitch and the game had not yet restarted, so there was no problem with substitutions.

"With such a lineup, how are they going to play ......?!"

Chen Mu was also shocked, the routines and tactics arranged before were all wasted, and the lineup posed by the calf was also very aggressive, and the two sides seemed to be about to usher in a colorful collision of Mars hitting the earth.

"Beep"

The whistle blew and the game began, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking, and suddenly made temporary adjustments, but the players on the court did not panic at all, and each began to run according to a familiar position, it is not difficult to see the strict and precise tactical drills of the Mavericks on weekdays.

And Chen Mu began to face the biggest crisis on the defensive end since he entered the NBA.

"Huh"

After the strong side triangle position, after crossing and switching positions with Terry, Harris sent the ball to the inside, and Dirk, who had just finished covering Terry without the ball, received the ball near the three-second zone, didn't even look at Chen Mu, and directly shot a two-point shot.

The score was equalised.

"Chen, press up, don't let Dirk shoot easily!"

Iguodala shouted loudly to Chen Mu, reminding Chen Mu to pay attention to defensive concentration, Chen Mu nodded helplessly, and while participating in the attack, he muttered in his heart:

"It's easy to say, there are a few capable people in the whole league who are forced to live Dirk!"

On the offensive end, Iverson held the ball at the top of the arc and prepared to play alone, but the Mavericks used Harris as the point guard, and the "Hades" was extremely fast, and even set a Guinness record for dribbling across the court, and the constant harassment and running caused a lot of trouble for Iverson.

"When"

Iverson missed, and Chen Mu had already turned over and cut in under the basket.

Compared with Dampier, Nowitzki's card position kung fu is more than a star and a half behind, Chen Mu, who knew the landing point in advance, arrived early, picked up the rebound in the air with both hands, and just wanted to attack the basket, but a hand stretched out behind him.

With a snap, the basketball in Chen Mu's hand was easily cut off by Nowitzki, and then thrown to Harris to launch a fast attack.

Chen Mu turned around and tried his best to catch up, in terms of speed, he was on par with Nowitzki at this time, but after all, he started slowly and couldn't catch up.

Nowitzki stepped to the front court with long legs, and before he could get to the three-point line, the basketball flew from the wing.

After receiving Harris's heartfelt pass, Nowitzki did not pause, barely made any adjustments, and shot directly with half a step from the three-point line.

At this time, Chen Mu, who was chasing behind him, couldn't dodge, and although he had tried his best to turn sideways, he still bumped into Nowitzki's body.

"Beep!"

At the referee's whistle, Nowitzki fell to the ground, and the basketball had already shot, drawing a super high "Norwegian arc", whistling and rushing to the basket.

"Huh!"

"Roar!! Dirk Nowitzki!! ”

With a three-point shot and a free throw, Nowitzki reappeared with that trademark smile on his face, and with the help of his teammates, he stood up to the tsunami cheers of the fans.

"......!"

Watching Nowitzki stand on the free throw line, hit the free throw steadily, and the difference instantly stretched to 4 points, Chen Mu couldn't help but curse secretly, looked back at Johnson, who was directing the players to defend with a serious face, and had a new understanding of this dark-skinned little coach in his heart.

"Let Dirk play center, and I was suppressed on both ends of the floor. Little general, this move of yours is really ruthless......! ”
