Chapter Seventy-Four: Do You Regret It?

"Toot!"

West Jersey Arena, Phoenix, Arizona.

The 76ers' away game against the league's powerhouse Suns is finally over.

This confrontation, which was considered to be strong and weak before the game, ended in an unexpected and reasonable ending. The 76ers won 105-96 over the Suns for their first win on their Western journey.

"It's a disappointment!"

In the stands, the remaining die-hard fans also began to leave the court, seeing the depressed looks of the Suns players and the ecstasy of the 76ers players, the fans had mixed feelings in their hearts.

In this game, Iverson, the core of the 76ers, scored 35 points, 10 assists, and scored 3 steals. Inside Webber also scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Korver, a sharpshooter on the perimeter, had a great hand, shooting 5-of-8 from beyond the three-point line and scoring 17 points in the game. Iguodala also continued to act as the glue, with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, with 2 steals and 1 block, and it was uncomfortable to defend the Suns' shooters on the wing.

However, when it comes to winning heroes, it is none other than Chen Mu.

He scored 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting and 4-of-7 from the free-throw line, and his individual offensive efficiency was outrageous.

14 rebounds, including six frontcourt rebounds, dominating both ends of the basket.

Although there is an element of luck with 2 blocks and 3 steals, it also shows Chen Mu's amazing physical fitness and motor nerves very well.

And 8 assists are second only to Iverson, becoming the axis of the team's interior operation.

Both interior players have the strength to become the axis of distribution of the ball, and the 76ers have long been reborn and are no longer the weak team that was bullied at the beginning of the season.

With Chen Mu's joining, it was just a change in one point, but it contributed to the qualitative change of the whole team. Good chemistry, perhaps only Ellem Porter, who is wearing a suit, is unwilling.

Judging from the record, the Suns, who are temporarily in first place in the West, will undoubtedly crush the 76ers to death, but the injury of the interior general has caused the Suns to wear out.

The long-awaited Stoudemire never returned, and the team relied on the outside touch to win the world.

The 76ers have obtained an all-round player like Chen Mu, and their combat power has skyrocketed, and the difference in strength between the two teams is actually far less huge than the record shows.

What makes Sun fans even more sad is that the energetic and fragmented Chinese kid on the court who used various offensive means to dismember the Suns' defense was once a member of the Suns.

"If we can keep him until the end of the season, then we will definitely win!"

Even with a great record, Suns fans can't help but think about it.

If the Suns have an invisible starter like Chen Mu on the bench, what level will the team's offense and defense evolve to?

Thinking about it this way, many fans were a little dissatisfied with the team manager Colangelo, and many people complained about it when they left the stadium.

"This Colangelo, the Chinese kid clearly has such strong potential, why don't you keep him? Even if Amare comes back, the inside line can add an option! ”

"That's it, it's the best manager, in my opinion, he only benefited by signing Nash, and the team's reinforcements are a mess at all!"

In the audience, there were two people who didn't get up for a long time.

"Whew......!"

Boss Su breathed a sigh of relief, although during the game, he kept cheering for Chen Mu. But in the end, the local team he supported lost, and the feeling in his heart was quite conflicting.

"It's really difficult, Chen Mu......"

Looking at the back of Chen Mu leaving from the players' tunnel, Boss Su shook his head slightly and said: "If you really become a superstar in the future and come to Phoenix City to play away again, what should I do, haha......!" ”

Beside Boss Su, Su Yin was also excited.

Although she doesn't have a deep understanding of basketball, in this game, the figure of the man who touched her heart and kept fighting was still deeply imprinted in her mind.

Exquisite passing, elegant mid-range shots, and violent dunks, Chen Mu is like a bomber, bombing indiscriminately in the Suns' restricted area. Su Yin, who watched the wonderful performance, was also a little excited, and couldn't help but exclaim several times.

And when Chen Mu was fouled by the Suns and put to the ground, Su Yin was also nervous for no reason, and his heartbeat instantly became extremely fast, and he was very worried.

The fans were almost gone, the players were gone, and the staff entered the stadium to start cleaning. But Su Yin was still intoxicated by the previous game, and countless pictures overlapped, making her heart beat.

"Okay, Yin'er, let's go!"

Boss Su got up unsatisfied, patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Let's go home, your brother Mu didn't finish things so quickly, and he still has to summarize after the game, interview or something, it is estimated that it will take an hour to finish." ”

"Let's go home first, what about you, send a message to this stinky boy on the way, if you have time, let him come out, and we'll have supper together."

Saying that, Boss Su squinted and smiled: "Dad also wants to see this 'competitor' more, in our hometown, at your age, you have started to go on a blind date, hahaha!" ”

"Dad, what are you talking about......!"

Su Yin slapped Boss Su angrily, and then got up shyly, but there was a drum in his heart.

Brother Mu...... Will my messages be returned?

Away team locker room.

“BRA-VO! BRA-VO! BRA-VO!! ”

The 76ers celebrated around Chen Mu, cheering that he had finally fully recovered his form, crossed the rookie wall, and once again showed his all-round skills.

Chen Mu smiled and joked with his teammates, for this kind of drama that broke out in front of his old club, these big men in the NBA liked it the most, and they celebrated for Chen Mu and asked for a treat again.

"The reporter is here, everyone pay attention to the image and words!"

Cheeks reminded him, and everyone put away their hippie smiles and prepared to be interviewed.

The door of the locker room opened, and many reporters walked in, searching for long guns and short guns, first interviewing the team's popular king Iverson, and then everyone flocked to Chen Mu.

"Hello, Chinese boy."

A female reporter full of intellectual charm opened her neckline very low, her white chest shook under Chen Mu's eyes, and asked: "Facing the old club that gave you up, played a wonderful performance, won away with your teammates, and got a quasi-triple-double, do you have anything to say to the old club?" ”

"Well, the Suns were my first NBA team, and I'm grateful for the opportunity I gave me, and I'm grateful for the support I received from the fans and my old teammates."

Recalling the moment of the game, Nash and the Sun's old teammates gave friendly encouragement and congratulations, Chen Mu said warmly in his heart: "Especially the old teammates, although this game has blown you up, I always remember your help to me." ”

"But on the basketball court, only doing your best is the greatest respect for your opponent. So the next time we meet, I'll make a big show and blow your inside line into scum! ”

"Very domineering response~"

The reporter laughed: "And what about the team manager who gave you up, Mr. Colangelo?" After the game, we noticed that many fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the manager, especially when it came to giving up on you, and the fans felt that Colangelo was short-sighted. Is there anything you'd like to say? ”

"Hah, this ......"

Chen Mu was happy when he heard this question, recalling that every time he played a good ball on the court, he would turn around and glare at the VIP box viciously, knowing that this scene would definitely be played repeatedly after the game.

"Mr. Colangelo, I'm glad that you gave me the opportunity to play in the NBA at the beginning. I am even more grateful that you gave up on me, gave me the shame and motivation, and practiced desperately just to prove you wrong. ”

Chen Mu looked at the camera, as if he was talking face-to-face to Colangelo, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "At that time, you said that I couldn't defend, so I practiced defense crazily, although I am still not a good defender, but at least it is not a big colander." ”

"You also said I couldn't attack, my mid-range shot was sparse, my passing was terrible, so I worked hard to hone my offense, and now my mid-range shooting and passing have become your nightmare. So I want to say ...... to you"

Chen Mu approached the camera, his face was full of pretend, Wang Bazhi trembled angrily, and said arrogantly: "Now, do you regret it......?" ”

After saying this, the reporters all looked at each other, not expecting that this big man from the East would suddenly become so arrogant, showing a rare domineering. Until Chen Mu got up and walked away, he couldn't think of the next question.

Afterwards, this interview was repeatedly broadcast by local TV stations and national sports media, and the footage of Chen Mu glaring at the VIP box during the game was cut back and forth, and the "revenge match" began to be hyped.

There were even good media outlets who went to Colangelo for an interview and asked the best manager with a blue face how he responded to Chen Mu's statement.

"No comment!"

The best manager's face darkened at the first hearing of the question and he slammed the door to his office.

But that's another story.

In a five-star hotel in Phoenix, the 76ers players went back to their rooms and shouted to each other, and the fun-loving players had begun to prepare for the real "second half", and many teammates were still pestering Chen Mu to treat them.

"Understood, understood~ Please eat in a while!"

Chen Mu agreed one by one, and when he came to the door of his room, he just wanted to enter the house, but his mobile phone rang.

Taking out his mobile phone, Chen Mu's expression changed instantly, and he shouted loudly to his teammates: "That...... I won't be treated today! Come back to Philadelphia and eat whatever you want, I have something urgent to go! ”

"What's wrong, who sent it?"

Iguodala stepped forward to take a look, and after only one glance, he kept shaking his head and said, "Your words are too hard to read, quickly translate for me!" ”

"Well, it's a friend I met when I was playing in Phoenix, all of them are Chinese, and they want to have a supper with me." Chen Mutou didn't raise his head.

"It's got to be a girl!"

Iguodala showed the look of Detective Conan and laughed, "I guessed right, right? You kid can, show mercy everywhere, what a prodigal son in love! ”

"What do you say?" Chen Mu slapped Iguodala angrily, and then said as he walked into the house: "I have a pure friendship with her. I'm not going to talk to you, I'm going to get dressed up quickly...... By the way, help me talk to Aaron, book a bar, age or something...... Help me get it done! ”

"No problem~"

Iguodala understood, made an OK gesture, and strode towards Iverson's room.

"Hoo ......"

Looking at himself in the mirror, Mu Chen took a long breath and said to himself, "It should be ...... Not too ugly, right? ”
