Chapter 413: The Battle for the Scoring King!

"Alas......! It's boring! ”

Staples Arena, Los Angeles.

The much-anticipated repeat of the NBA Finals three years ago, the Los Angeles Lakers, the supergiants of the East and West, hosted the Philadelphia 76ers, and lost the suspense after three quarters.

One of the teams was pressed to the ground by the opponent from beginning to end, and there was no power to fight back.

"Who knew that the Lakers' current lineup would be so bad!"

Charles Barkley was bored, eating snacks and shaking his head, looking at the court and saying, "Shaq didn't come to explain the game, it was the right decision." Otherwise, it's too embarrassing, watching his old club being beaten like this, or being blown up from the inside. If I were Shaq, I wouldn't be able to sit on the sidelines and watch it for a long time! ”

"What if you can't stand it? has retired, then do what you should do as a retired player, don't sigh here all day long. ”

Kenny Smith gave Barkley a blank look: "There-is-nothing-you--do!" ”

"Who said that??"

Barkley straightened up and said: "Shaq and I are both inside players, and you guys don't understand our feelings. We were all excited to see that our old club had a new generation of inside stars! When Shaq saw Dwight coming to Los Angeles, I am afraid that when I saw Xiao Si rise to prominence in Phoenix, or Chen in Philadelphia, I would feel that my mantle has been inherited, and I feel very cool! ”

"Cut, don't stink and be shameless, okay??"

Smith continued to complain: "Xiao Si is forgotten, but Chen's current level is far better than you!" ”

Not to mention, after Chen Mu led the team to win three consecutive championships, a saying really began to circulate in the market:

At least judging from his career so far, Chen Mu is already a strong contender for the number one striker in history.

There are several names that can't be avoided on President Hill so far as the historical striker. Such as Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Deke Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, McHale, Pettit, Big E Elvin Hayes, and many more.

Judging from the data, Chen Mu has not completed ten years in his career, so there is still a big gap between the accumulated data and these predecessors.

But judging from the energy that erupted in a single season and the data performance at the peak, Chen Mu alone crushed all the world's heroes and historical monsters, and there was no suspense at all.

Not to mention the MVP four consecutive championships that Chen Mu has obtained, as well as three consecutive championships, and there is no scum left of the competitors.

At present, the only thing that is still controversial is the historical status between Chen Mu and Duncan, which is higher or lower.

Fans familiar with the NBA know that Duncan is perhaps the only man you can say that "the data doesn't show what he does" and at the same time praise him for being "rock-solid and tough".

Duncan has also won two consecutive MVPs, four championship rings, and his amazingly long and stable career, Duncan and Chen Mu can still wrench their wrists at the moment.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Chen Mu's peak period is still continuing, and the things in the accumulated data, as long as there are not amazing injuries in his career and a cliff-like decline, he will catch up sooner or later.

Chen Mu's body is extremely vigorous, and he also has extremely delicate skills, after he gets older, maybe his explosiveness, speed and the like will decline significantly, but his skills can ensure that he can still make outstanding contributions on the field.

If Chen Mu can kill Duncan without suspense, become the first man in history, and even pursue Jordan's unreachable first man in history, if there are any constraints, it may be his not amazing height.

Although in the big forward position, Chen Mu's height of about 206 is already standard. But the difference in height of a few centimeters with Duncan, coupled with the difference in arm span, can determine many things.

For example, after Duncan got old, his bounce and speed were gone, but he was still able to use his height and arm span, as well as the defensive awareness that is one of the best in history, to support the defensive backbone of a team by himself.

And what about Chen Mu? After his age, he is not a height advantage, can he continue to perform amazingly on the defensive end?

This point has always been questionable.

However, it is still the same sentence:

Four MVPs, three championship rings.

All even the banker.

In the new season, the Philadelphia 76ers are still very strong, and they are still the most powerful contenders in the league for the championship.

At that time, Duncan, but there is no reason to continue to be on an equal footing with Chen Mu.

"Besides, Chen already has three rings in his hand, what about you? Is there one or not?? ”

Smith's favorite thing to do, of course, is to suppress Barkley's arrogance, and as he spoke, he pretended to raise his right hand unintentionally, and the shiny championship ring on his finger was dazzling, and it was constantly dangling in front of Barkley's eyes.

"Eh, that's another story!"

Poked by Smith, Barkley unceremoniously slapped Smith's right hand away and continued: "Anyway, I mean, when we see one of the best super interior players in the league on our old club's team, we will be full of anticipation and ready to mock the world at any time." ”

"But Howard's performance today is really ......"

Accompanied by Barkley's words, the director was quite experienced, and listed the inside data of the game between the two sides on the screen for the first time.

The fans in front of the TV looked at it and just thought what the hell the Lakers were playing......

"You see, the Los Angeles Lakers, Dwight Howard, known as the league's No. 1 center, played three quarters, 11 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block. What is this data? Tyson Chandler's stats! ”

Barkley said disdainfully: "Pau Gasol, 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, my God, just this number of rebounds still claims to be the top power forward in the league?" Let's be funny! ”

That's right, in the opener, the duo of Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol looked beautiful. Gasol is the main offense, Howard is the main defense, a projection area is extremely wide, even able to reach the three-point line, and there is a rather bewitching high and low position strategy, and the back single is also the top in the league, which can leave a lot of space for the interior line, and any system can be adapted.

The other body is explosive and terrifying, like a C4 explosive barrel ambushed under the basket, and if you are not careful, you will be blown up by his two-handed explosive buckle.

Such a combination, on the offensive end, seems to be invincible. Howard played more without the ball, Gasol responded with the main attack, one turned his back and the other turned and ran back, and he could pull up a dunk when he received the ball. If the opponent shrinks to the basket, Gasol's mid-range shots and hooks will make the opponent pay a terrible price.

Defensively, the two also complement each other. Gasol is slow, but his one-on-one defense is actually quite good. The opponent's stand-up type single inside line will be interfered with by the long arms and power of Gasol's center level, and it will be difficult to play style.

Howard's high mobility and explosive bouncing ability can make the opponent's air cuts and breakthroughs come and go. Come and fan and fly one, come and make a pair.

It can be said that from any point of view, the combination of Howard and Gasol is absolutely one plus one is greater than two, and it is a super upgrade of the Gasol-Bynum combination that slightly overlaps in the offensive single play.

However, the reality is extremely cruel.

"Howard didn't figure it out, in fact, this is also the big fat man's pot."

Barkley looked at the side of the stands, and Shaq O'Neill, who was shaking his head helplessly, said: "What 'back singles are the right way for the center', what 'the center is to clear the space and blow up the opposite side alone', all are the old emperor's calendar!" Dwight is a little stunned now, a strong inside position, and when he gets the ball, he wants to go alone with his back, which is putting the cart before the horse, moving against the trend of the times! ”

"Indeed."

Smith nodded: "Let's not talk about Dwight's injury problems, let's talk about opponents." I'll admit that Dwight can really have the upper hand against 90 percent of the league's centers with his physical strength and exaggerated shoulder width and explosiveness, and he can play well alone. But the problem is that the guy who is opposite him today happens to be a master who is not afraid of back-to-back singles at all! ”

Andrew Bynum.

This guy, who is considered by countless fans to be definitely a two-five boy with a Brahmaputra River in his head, has found his position after coming to Philadelphia.

No one knows how much Chen Mu played a role in it, people only saw that in the opening game, in the face of Howard, who was far above him in terms of fame and strength, Bynum played extremely calmly and steadily.

On the offensive end, if you have the opportunity to steal, you will run and steal points, and if you don't have the opportunity to steal, you will honestly cover, run, and find space to cut, and there is almost no back-to-back single.

On the defensive end, standing in place is not jumping, the original stunned young man who was flying at a little bit is gone, and in his place, he is a defensive titan with Chen Mu's level of defensive calmness.

With a superior height and reach, Bynum faced Howard and played one of the best games of his career. Relying on the continuous feeding of the whole team, Bynum scored a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds in the third quarter, and also rewarded Howard with two spicy hot pots face to face.

As for the other inside line in Philadelphia......

"Three quarters, 33 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks......"

Looking at Chen Mu's statistics, even Barkley, who had a high view of himself, his hands trembled a little.

"Chen, it seems that he and the Lakers really have a grudge against their father and wife......"

It's not people.

It's not data that humans can type.

This is the roar of the gods!

"It seems that this season, Chen's scoring statistics will not be affected by the new signings and the growth of young people in the team, and he is still very hopeful of hitting the throne of the scoring champion!"

Smith nodded: "At present, in the competition for the league's scoring title, there are almost no players who can threaten Chen, even if it is Durant, who averages 30 points per game, or higher, 32 points, which is the limit, and the rest of the players are simply impossible...... What the?! What do you say?!!! ”

Halfway through speaking, Smith suddenly heard something from the headset, his eyes instantly widened, and he looked at the camera with a shocked face and said: "Brother Hairstyle scored 25 points in the first half and 45 points in the third quarter?!!! ”
