Chapter Seventy-Two: Shine

69-66, the game between the Suns and the 76ers came to the second half of the third quarter.

The 76ers still hold a slight lead on the road, with a three-point gap.

After the rotation, both sides fielded their most attacking lineups, and the decisive moment of the game came early.

The Suns maintained the fantastic rotation of the first quarter, with Marion and Dio on the inside, two sharpshooters on the outside, Bell and James Jones, and Nash on the backcourt.

In the 76ers starting lineup, Hunter, who defended strongly and weakly attacked, was replaced, Chen Mu came on the court to revitalize the offense, and the inside once again had two fulcrums for the ball, and Iverson retreated to the weak side to contain the defense.

The game is on!

The Suns attacked, and after coming to the frontcourt, the tactics made a few adjustments.

Although it was still a V-shaped position, this time the two inside linemen did not immediately go up to block and pick-and-roll, but Dio came to the top of the arc, Nash dribbled to the left side and pulled away, and then handed the ball to the inside magician.

On the weak side, James Jones raised to a 45-degree angle, Dior distributed the ball to the former, and then quickly cut inside to block Jones.

Jones dribbled sideways and cut in to the right of the top of the arc.

Marion also stepped up at the same time, came to Dio to take a screen, and then ran outside the three-point line.

Dior used the cover to kill the basket, and the basic run was completed.

"The third way to play the V-attack!"

In Chen Mu's mind, the countless basic tactical interpretation abilities that had been exercised in the game on the original timeline began to play a role, and he quickly judged the follow-up trend, reached out and gently pulled Webber to the basket to defend, while he quickly lifted it up and followed Marion to near the three-point line.

Jones came to the free throw line, Webb was already in place under the basket, Dio's impact was not as strong as Marion, there was no room to catch the ball and attack the basket, Jones turned around and handed the ball to Nash outside the left three-point line.

Nash catches the ball a little bit and the basketball flies to the three-point line at the top of the arc.

According to the tactical positioning, the off-ball cover cooperation of Marion and Dio at this time should have caused confusion in the defense of Chen Mu and Webber, and Marion had a three-point chance at the top of the arc.

This tactic is a derivative of the V-shaped offense, but it is also one of the three basic positioning methods, and the Suns have done it in training on weekdays I don't know how many times, and they are already familiar with it without thinking to make judgments.

However, Chen Mu appeared on the passing path in advance.

"Smack!"

The basketball was stopped by Chen Muyi, and when Marion and Nash were stunned, Iverson had already begun to sprint.

At this time, the stadium camera recorded an incredible scene:

I saw Chen Mu's left hand stretched forward, touched Nash's pass with the palm of his hand, and then without making any adjustments, he pushed the basketball directly to the front court with a similar "pushing" action.

Although this action seems to be miraculous, like a "magic basketball masterpiece" in the original world, it is indeed possible to do it under certain circumstances.

Iverson didn't expect that Chen Mu's pass came so quickly, and after receiving the ball, Nash behind him hadn't started to start, and ran directly to the front court to make an easy layup.

5 points gap!

"This passing skill...... Is this kid really an inside player......?! ”

Marion was also shocked when he saw it, Chen Mufang's movement for a moment was like a kick in football, the basketball did not pause at all, just turned around in the air, and rushed directly to the front court.

This kind of adjustment ability not only requires Chen Mu to have an incredible passing vision, but also needs to have a super sense of the ball, and pass the ball out of the air with one hand with a weak side hand? This kind of passing skill is rare in the history of the league's interior line.

In the 76ers, there are two interior players at this time, with such terrifying passing skills.

"Sean, POST!"

Attacking again, Nash controlled the ball and shouted at Marion, and all the Suns players understood it and immediately started the second way of running the V-shaped attack.

It was still Jones and Bale in the bottom corners, Diola went to the top of the high arc, and Nash dribbled to the left.

Marion rarely came directly to the low post, stuck Chen Mu behind him with his long arms and muscles, and opened his hand to ask for the ball.

Nash and Dio went back and forth a few times, finally finding a passing gap at a 45-degree angle and simply hoisting the ball inside.

The back position is successful, Marion singles Chen Mu in the low position!

"Bang, bang, bang"

While dribbling the ball, Marion leaned back and pushed Chen Mu forward to the basket with his strength.

After some probing, Marion rolled down the middle, holding the ball in his right hand and ready to make the classic "chicken claw hook".

At this time, Webber had already let go of Dio at the top of the arc and came from the bag, the former king's core basketball IQ knew that Marion's low-post distribution level was not good, so he made a decisive choice and blocked Marion's offensive line with a long arm under the basket.

"Sean, pass back!"

Nash shouted anxiously, Marion reluctantly turned around and prepared to pass back, but instead of Nash, a yellow-skinned figure appeared in front of him.

"What......?!"

Marion was startled, he didn't know when Chen Mu came to the passing route, and hurriedly collected the ball with both hands, ready to turn around to the bottom line, and find an opportunity to attack the basket from the gap vacated by Chen Mu and Webb.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, Marion walks for a violation!

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Referee, my pivotal foot is still my left foot, my left foot didn't leave the ground just now, the pivotal foot remains the same, I didn't walk!! ”

Marion stepped forward to theorize, but was stopped by Chen Mu.

"Hey, Sean, stop fighting."

Chen Mu smiled: "Didn't you see the referee's eyes?" If you argue a few more words, you might be able to eat a T! ”

Marion was in a trance when he heard this, and always felt that this sentence was a little familiar, and after calming down, he remembered on the way back to where this sentence came from.

"DAMN, this Chinese kid, actually comforted me with my words!"

That's right, these words are exactly the words that Marion pulled away and comforted him when Chen Mu was still on the Suns, when he ate the first T in his life.

Now that the roles are reversed, a rookie who has returned to his old club to fight actually begins to comfort the veterans who have been playing in the NBA for many years, which makes Marion a little ridiculous.

"I really don't understand, is this kid just excessive, or is it a scary ...... in the city!"

Generally speaking, when the opposing player is emotional, few people will come forward to comfort the opponent and tell the opponent to be careful not to eat T.

But in the face of his old teammates, Chen Mu made such a choice, which made Marion wonder what Chen Mu was thinking in his head.

In fact, Chen Mu's idea is very simple:

"If you can't beat Marion head-on, you can't prove that Colangelo made the wrong choice, I want to beat Marion with dignity, and whoever I beat doesn't count!"

When the 76ers attacked, Chen Mu made a move and shouted at Iverson: "Pastoral strategy!" ”

"Oh......?"

Iverson reacted quickly, remembering the so-called pastoral strategy he had used against the Heat, and his heart was instantly happy, nodding slightly, and then giving tactical instructions to his teammates while controlling the ball.

Iverson's right hand made a flat "six", and the players were stunned.

We? Running a V-shaped offense??

However, even the team boss gave such instructions, and the players no longer questioned the bottom corner of Korver and Iguodala, Chen Mu and Weber raised high and blocked for Iverson on both sides of the arc.

Iverson ran out of Chen Mu's side, Nash was blocked by Chen Mu, Marion hurriedly made up the defense, ready to make a SHOWRECOVER cooperation with Nash, that is, Marion delayed Iverson, and then quickly changed back to Nash, returning to the normal defensive strategy.

Iverson seized the moment Marion stepped forward to show off, suddenly twisted his body, and a backdribble flashed Marion's defense, drilling through the gap between the two.

A block and dismantle directly broke the Suns' outside defense, and Dio reluctantly let go of Webb and stepped forward to stop Iverson.

Iverson hit a high hanging, and the basketball came to Webb on the weak side, and Nash also turned around and ran quickly to Webb to make up for the defense.

The Suns' defense near the three-second zone was in disarray, and no one noticed Chen Mu's direction at this time.

But Webb has seen it.

"Whoosh"

The basketball came with the sound of the wind, Chen Mu just turned around, rushed to the basket from the gap between Dior and Nash, just received the basketball, and then flew up.

"Bang!"

scored a violent dunk, Chen Mu pretended to be a fork after landing, showed off his muscles to the camera under the basket, and then went back to defense.

"It's so exciting......!"

The commentator has been speechless, and the V-shaped offense is the killer feature of the Suns. The 76ers were so bold, dancing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and fighting a V-shaped attack with the way of others.

In the 76ers' interior line, Webber's impact is not strong, and he is slightly inferior to the current Dio after a major injury.

But when it comes to passing, Weber's kung fu is not below Dior.

One blocking, two passes, Chen Mu, who had the strongest impact, seized the opportunity to bomb the basket, which was extremely exquisite, and it was amazing.

Especially after the Suns' consecutive V-shaped offenses failed, the 76ers instead successfully completed their tactics and scored in the most direct way. The success of this bold strategy undoubtedly put a dagger in the hearts of the Suns.

“InYourFace! Ha ha!! ”

Boss Su was excited and cheered for the 76ers, causing a burst of dissatisfied eyes from the Suns fans around him, who couldn't figure out which side this guy wearing a Suns uniform was supporting.

In the next round, the Suns changed their strategy, and Nash dribbled around the inside and finally hit a step-back jumper near the free throw line to narrow the gap back to five points.

However, the 76ers did not give the Suns time to rest, and the frontcourt ran out of the V-shaped attack again, this time Iverson broke through from Webb's side, Webber rushed to the basket, and Chen Mu mentioned a step inside the three-point line on the right side of the arc.

The Suns' interior defense was more focused, Webber didn't have a chance, and Iverson passed back to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu received the ball, Iverson continued to rush to the basket, and Webb pulled away to the bottom corner of the strong side.

There's an empty space for Iverson under the basket!

Outside the three-point line of the baseline line, Bell, who was defending Korver, had no choice, and was afraid of Chen Mu's inward pass, so he had to retreat half a step back to delay Iverson's empty-handed cut.

Korver took advantage of the momentum and came to the left side of the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, and the gap between him and Bell was about two steps, and Chen Mu seized the opportunity to pass without looking back.

Korver catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer, and under the gaze of the fans, the basketball seems to fly for a century, falling to the basket in a perfect arc.

"Huh!"

As the basketball entered the frame, Chen Mu clenched his fist with his right hand, his face was full of determination, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the VIP box at the height of the court.

“InYourFace! Colangelo! ”
