"Cousin's mid-range, cross-step dribble breakthrough, mid-field pull-up jump shot ......"

"Huh!"

"In the middle of the middle!!"

Vajovia, the seventh game of the finals, a battle of life and death.

Three minutes after the opening, the Sacramento Kings, the challenger from afar, led 9-0!

“YEEEEEEEES——！！！”

hit the shot, Gu Yu raised his arms and roared, and the whole person was as manic as if he was on fire, making the whole stadium silent, and he had no intention of resisting at all.

Damn it......!

"Attack steadily! Don't be affected! ”

Sending out the baseline ball, Chen Mu raised his voice and shouted at Curry, which was regarded as a reminder.

“…… Well, I know the boss! Curry nodded, and when he turned around to dribble, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Rub!"

The flash of the knife in his hand shocked Curry into a cold sweat, but fortunately, his miraculous ball sense was working, and he made a sharp stop half-turned, and his body avoided the steal in mid-air, and then directly turned around and accelerated, quickly breaking through the half.

It's dangerous!

"Bang Bang Bang"

Dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, Curry had beads of sweat on his forehead, and his mind was full of the thrilling scene just now.

Who would have thought that when he hit such a beautiful mid-range shot and cheered at the fans provocatively, Gu Yu, a natural killer, could actually detect Philadelphia's intention to serve the baseline ball quickly, and flashed to block Curry's advance route.

What a terrifying judgment and what a terrifying alertness?

"Boss!"

Thinking about what he didn't have, Curry couldn't help but feel that the gap between himself and Gu Yu seemed to be infinitely widening in this round of the series. Although there was only Wei Shao's staring in front of him, he noticed that Gu Yu, who was quickly returning to the defense, was making eyes at him, Curry was getting wet from his crotch, and hurriedly chose to pass.

The basketball flew in the air, Chen Mu just plugged in the back row, and when he received the ball at the top of the arc, Vagiovia actually heard a burst of cheers.

"Good shot! What a ball!! The boss catches the ball, the boss finally catches the ball!! ”

Finally caught the ball......??

If anyone is just starting to watch this game, they will probably be puzzled by the cries of the Philadelphia fans.

What does it mean to "finally" catch the ball?

Isn't Philadelphia's core tactic to handle the ball for Chen Mu? The game has been played for a few minutes, how could Chen Mu not receive the ball? ?

However, this is exactly what happened.

"It's not a good location......"

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith frowned and shook his head: "This is not the position where Chen usually initiates offense, although the ability to attack the basket with the ball at the top of the arc, in the entire history of the league's No. 4 position, Chen is also the top one." But he is an inside player after all, and the best position to catch the ball should be in the ribs or waist position, not in such a high position. ”

When Smith said "high", he refers to the high position on the basketball court, of course, not that Curry's passing space is high or low, and fans can understand it.

Barkley, on the other hand, seems to be at odds with Smith.

"Curry's passing is fine, don't be blind."

Barkley's impatient words caused Smith to be a little dissatisfied, and he turned around and sprayed at the fat man: "What, this position is high!" If it were you, would you enjoy receiving the ball in this position?? ”

"Bang bang!"

While speaking, Chen Mu dribbled the ball from the top of the arc to find a breakthrough space, but the Green in front of him seemed to have eaten some thousand-year-old ginseng, gritting his teeth and crossing his arms, and stepping on it very accurately. Although due to the height problem, Green's protective area is incomparable to that of a monster like Garnett, but in a trance, it really made Chen Mu feel a sense of oppression that was pressed into defense.

When was the last time you felt this way??

Chen Mu was also a little surprised in his heart, but if he couldn't break through Green's defense, Chen Mu would not be called a god.

“…… Bang! ”

With the force under his feet, Chen Mu broke through with a step, and his upper body suddenly leaned forward, looking as if he was going to crush it with strength.

Green quickly adjusted under his feet, but in the blink of an eye, he had already retreated half a step, and was just about to seal Chen Mu's breakthrough route.

“…… Call! ”

Chen Mu, open his hand to shoot.

"This ...... Pointers?!! ”

In the exclamations of the commentators, Chen Mu made a three-point shot at the top of the arc, and the position was even the same as the ultra-long three-point that Curry lost from time to time.

Chen Mu has the ability to score three, but the three-point shot is just a supplement to his perfect arsenal and cannot be used as a conventional weapon, which is a fact that everyone knows.

And now, Chen Mu has made such a choice, which proves one thing......

"Huh!"

“YEAAAAAAAAAAAH——！！！”

Green's defense made it difficult for Chen Mu to complete the breakthrough!

"Good ball, good ball!! Chen Mu's three-point score finally stopped the bleeding for Philadelphia! 9-3, Philadelphia is 6 points behind, see how the defense is going this time! ”

Smith applauded Chen Mu's decisiveness here, and was still thinking about Barkley's own affairs, so he glanced back at Barkley and said, "Hey, hey, don't forget this shop after passing this village, what did you mean by that sentence just now?" Curry's passing to Chen Mu in that position is an irresponsible performance as a point guard, and he did not create the best output environment for his teammates, indicating that Curry's passing is problematic! You said there was no problem, so you could explain it to me?? ”

"Cut, superficial."

Barkley threw out his most classic quote from Smith, rolled his eyes and said: "You saw Curry pass a less than perfect ball, but have you noticed what the Sacramento defense was just like??" ”

The King's Defense?

Smith shook his head, "No, I didn't pay attention. ”

"Look at it, this is still a self-proclaimed professional commentary, and the level is too inferior. Director, director! Next time, give me a different major! I think Yao is good, hey, hey......" Barkley finished talking and said: "On the defensive end just now, the king looked like he was in a one-on-one stance, but in fact it wasn't like that." ”

"You pay attention to your cousin's position, just before Curry dribbled past half court, my cousin was already in the front court, right? Later, when my cousin came back, with Curry's vision and basketball IQ, I could definitely think that if my cousin was in the frontcourt, then there would definitely be teammates in the backcourt, right? ”

Smith nodded.

"However, Curry didn't find that open space, and he didn't send the counter-attacking passes that he is usually good at, but steadily controlled the tempo through the half, and then looked for another opportunity." Barkley continued: "Why is that? Let me ask you, did you find an empty seat in that round just now?? ”

"I'm ......" Smith was speechless, indeed, as a commentator, with the best perspective and vision on the court, and with the help of the screen in front of them, finding a vacant seat was as easy for them as it was when we played a basketball game.

Moreover, Smith is still a defender, and although he is a bias shooter, he is not bad at the brain when he plays. It stands to reason that he should be able to spot the vacant position as soon as possible.

Smith, however, didn't find out.

The reason is simple.

"Because there were no seats on the field at that time."

Barkley said this sentence with a serious face, and then his eyes were attracted by the scene on the field, and he clapped his fat hands and said loudly: "Hahaha, good ball, good ball!" Cousin European steps, do you see that?? Greatly, socially social!! ”

No, there are no vacancies ......??

How is this possible?!

Smith was shocked by Barkley's statement, and felt unconvinced from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Yu was in the backcourt at the time, Chen Mu was just about to pass the half, the other players in Philadelphia had already passed the half, and even Butler and Iguodala had already finished their positions.

In other words, at that time, within the halftime of the Kings, it was a Philadelphia 5-4 situation. I have studied elementary school mathematics and know that 5 is bigger than 4, 5 to 4 in the front court, and there must be vacancies.

But it really didn't.

At least that's what Barkley said.

"Bang, bang, bang"

On the court, the Philadelphia players who were hit by Gu Yu for a layup again were obviously a little frustrated, and after sending out the baseline ball, when they ran their positions, they were all thinking about it, as if they were very dissatisfied with something.

Curry dribbled the ball over half the court, and this time Gu Yu didn't come up to force it, but the choice of position made Curry still feel a little weak.

The location......

"Go up! Top up a little hind leg! Don't grind in the back and chirp like a! ”

Gu Yu's defensive target is Butler, and at this time Butler is already in the bottom corner of the weak side, and Gu Yu should be there as expected. But the fact is that Gu Yu is not only not in the bottom corner, but near the top of the arc on the upper line, standing between Wei Shao and George, a little behind.

This position, which is almost near the free throw line, is not likely to be seen at this point in the man-to-man defense.

In a 2-1-2 defense, there is a person standing near the free throw line, who is also generally the team's defensive core, the master of defense. This kind of defensive routine has a great inhibition for breakthrough players, and the protection under the basket is also very good, and it is difficult for opponents to play with their backs in the three-second zone.

However, the inherent flaw of this formation is that the coverage of the two-wing three-point line to the bottom angle three-point line, and even the middle distance of the baseline is almost zero.

If Philadelphia had two shooters above the caliber at this time, and could move more in the flank area, it would be able to deal a fatal blow to the king.

But it's a pity that Philadelphia, which is on the regular lineup, doesn't have Korver, and it doesn't have this power. The rest of Butler and Iguodala are not reliable shooters, and they are not much of a threat in these two areas, and they will choose to break through more when receiving the ball.

If these two break through, they will fall into the king's defensive trap again, and they will be in a bitter battle near the three-second zone.

The most threatening way to score in Philadelphia's regular lineup is the blocking between Curry and Chen Mu. But whether Curry shoots by himself in the end or handles the ball for Chen Mu, the most threatening position of the ball is the top of the arc and the free throw line that extends to the area under the basket.

These two areas are where the Kings' defense is focused.

This kind of defense, is it a solution that Gu Yu suddenly came up with, or did Phil Jackson lie, and the whole team of the Kings lied, in fact, the team has its own new tactical routine?

Curry doesn't know.

He only knew one thing, a very strange thing, and that was ......

"Stephen Curry's position...... There is no way to pass the ball through!! ”
