Jrue Holiday was a good rookie in '09, and now he is firmly in the 76ers' starting point guard position, and is averaging 14 points and 6.5 assists per game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But when he faced Chen Mo, who won the assist king and scoring champion, the pressure was still very high.

Regardless of the pre-game critics' disparagement of the Bobcats, Holiday always showed up with a very low profile when facing the media.

"Jack is a very strong defender and I'm very excited to play against him. It's a great learning opportunity. ”

The 76ers were very low before the game, but there were people like Brand who looked down on the Bobcats with a big mouth.

"They're in the playoffs for the second time in their history, and they're weak on the inside. I didn't get in a good shape during the regular season, but now it's completely different, and I've found the best version of myself. I'll be on their inside, leaving my mark. ”

However, no matter how powerful the mouth is, in the end, it is necessary to use the ball skills to speak on the court.

Sitting in the commentary box for this game are Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, who are very familiar with the Bobcats.

"The regular season record is definitely telling us a lot, and Charlotte's regular season looks very easy and Jack has had a lot of rest at the end of the season. Even though this was his first playoff game in the truest sense of the word, I think he should be very well prepared. Kenny Smith said.

"The starting lineup of the Bobcats today is a regular starting lineup, with Kwame Brown as the starting center, Milicic and Gerard Wallace up front, and Jack Chan and Stephen Jackson at the back. Philadelphia's starters don't look to be the strongest, with Jrue Holiday and Jordi Meeks, Andre Iguodala, Spencer Hawes, Elton Brand. Thaddeus Young was on the bench and he should be a sixth man today. I heard that his injury doesn't seem to be healed yet, so I don't know what kind of performance he will have today. ”

With Barkley's introduction, the players on both sides have begun to take their feet. Soon, the referee's whistle blew and the ball was tossed and Kwame Brown won the jump ball, with Brand's height always being his biggest constraint.

Chen Mo slowly pressed the ball across the half court, and he had already heard of Brand's arrogant words before the game. It was because he came up and called his teammates to block and dismantle, obviously he was going to use the misalignment to beat Brand and suppress the morale of the opposite side.

Morale may seem like a metaphysical thing, but it's enough to affect a team's performance.

Brand made a big deal before the game, and if he started the game well, he would clean up Milicic badly, because because of his pre-game words, the morale of the 76ers would be up. But if he is taught a lesson in the opening game, his words will instead become a weapon to discourage the 76ers.

Gerard Wallace came over to make the first block for Chen Mo, Chen Mo handed the ball to him, and ran to the horn area to cover Jackson without the ball. Then Gerard Wallace hoisted the ball to Chen Mo, who played with Milicic in the waist position.

Chen Mo faced Brand in the low post, and at this time, no one in the 76ers dared to come over to wrap up, because all the rest of the Bobcats players were in the threat position, once they helped defend, with Chen Mo's passing vision, they could easily send the ball over.

This season, Chen Mo's passing has become one of the most bizarre skills in the league, and even teammates don't know how the ball comes out, so how can the opponent defend it?

Brand obviously knew Chen Mo's thoughts, and he shouted, "Come on, let me teach you a lesson, arrogant boy!"

Chen Mo chuckled lightly and said, "Can I understand this as you are emboldening yourself?"

Brand has been plagued by injuries this season, and Philadelphia's signing of him is seen as one of the worst signings of the season. Brand is saddled with the infamy of cheating Davis, not to carry more infamy. This is also the reason why he created a topic of public opinion for himself in front of the media and shouted Chen Mo and Bobcat.

Brand naturally hopes that he can lead the 76ers to stage the Black Eight, and then wash away the doubts and scolding on his body.

It's just that...... He seems to have picked the wrong person!

Chen Mo's voice fell, pulled the ball and shook his shoulders, and then stepped forward, quickly approaching Brand. At the same time as Brand retreated, Chen Mo handed the ball to his left hand, and then stepped into the three-second area, Brand also knew that he could not retreat, not to mention a super pitcher like Chen Mo in this position, even if he was an ordinary professional player, as long as there was space and angle to the ball, he could easily send the ball to the basket.

Chen Mo's attack time was only three seconds in total, and Brand's thinking was very clear, to use his body to put pressure on Chen Mo, and then force Chen Mo to attack for three seconds.

Seeing Brand step forward, Chen Mo did not retreat, and directly forced up to make physical contact with Brand. At the moment of physical contact, Chen Mo turned around and threw it, and then his body fell directly backwards. The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, and no matter how high Brand raised his hand and how innocent his expression was, it would be useless.

If it weren't for the fierce cheers on the scene, the players on the field should have heard a word Chen Mo said - "stupid hanging!"

If Brand didn't come forward just now, Chen Mo might choose to pass the ball and let Milicic use a dunk to educate Brand, who knew that guy would even come forward to find a confrontation. If Chen Mo doesn't make him a foul and plays a 2+1, wouldn't that give Brand face?

Standing at the free throw line, Chen Mo scored the ball steadily, and then smiled at Brand.

Kenny Smith exclaimed, "Perfect goal, Jack Chan singled out Brand in the low post. This ball has confrontation, skill, and wisdom. I think with just one ball, Jack Chan is enough to break those tricks. Jack Chan in the playoffs is as terrifying as the regular season and doesn't ...... Perhaps even more terrifying. ”

Barkley laughed: "Jack is not afraid of confrontation, he has his own confrontation skills. ”

Speaking of which, Barkley has always liked tough guys, and he has always been disdainful of opportunistic guys like Chen Mo. But Chen Mo doesn't just blindly touch porcelain, when it's time to be tough, Chen Mo is also absolutely hard-boned. And Barkley is precisely to appreciate Chen Mo's point.

Brand's gratuitous expression and raised hands were played back and forth on the big screen of the scene, how could the 76ers players not see this footage.

Suddenly, a shadow cast over their hearts.

And Chen Mo naturally led the Bobcats to set off their first wave of offensive tonight...... (To be continued.) )
