Chapter 878: The Essence

"Whoosh——!!"

No one could catch up with the pass, over Vajovia, galloping freely.

"It's beautiful!"

Gu Yu quickly settled down and switched to Chen Mu's side, and even fools could see that the Kings team directly gave up this rebounding scramble. No matter how hard Gu Yu tried, it was impossible to take the rebound from Chen Mu's hands.

It would not be accurate to say that it was a complete abandonment, and Bynum had already managed to keep Plumlee behind him. To put it bluntly, the King's strategy is to let Bynum and Chen Mu grab rebounds one-on-one, and if you grab it, you earn it, and if you can't grab it, forget it.

All of this seems to have no logical reason at all, but there is a rather deep motive hidden in it.

"Whew!"

Receiving the ball on the flank, Gu Yu was empty around him, and he opened his hand to throw out a three-point shot.

This style of play is too Gu Yu, there is no rebounding guarantee at all, there is a chance to break into the basket but not suddenly, and if you insist on throwing this three-point shot, even if you are crazy like Curry, you may not do it.

But in the history of the NBA, there are people who will do it.

"Cousin's Three-Point ......"

"Huh!"

"Come in!!"

“YEEEEEEEES——!!”

The basketball went into the net, the Kings bench cheered, and Vajovia's deafening boos paused for a moment.

"Good ball, good ball, just play like this!" hit three points, and when Gu Yu returned to defense, he was far away from Green.

"Understood!" Green nodded heavily, his expression very serious.

I am Dream Chaser, I am not Chen Mu, it is impossible to become Chen Mu, and I don't need to become Chen Mu.

In his mind, Green began to recall what Phil Jackson and Gu Yu had said to him at halftime.

"One-on-one you're no match for him, you can't beat him no matter how much time you give you, that's a fact, we have to admit it." Phil Jackson said: "Just like Butler on the other side to his cousin, even if Butler has a hot hand and the gods come down to earth, he can't be his cousin's opponent." But did Butler give up? Is he making no contribution on the field just because he can't beat his cousin one-on-one?? ”

Wake up from the dream, Green recalled what Butler had done on the court in this round of the series, and seemed to understand why the old coach said that.

Indeed, even if Butler was given another ten years to cultivate, it would be impossible for him to defeat Gu Yu one-on-one. Don't talk about Butler, even if the peak Jordan crosses over, I'm afraid he can only complete the mutual explosion with Gu Yu.

But Butler's role will not disappear. If Butler really had no effect on the court, with Carlisle's shrewd mind, he would have replaced Butler off the court.

In fact, on the contrary, Butler was not only not substituted, but was the player in the Philadelphia team who played the most minutes except for Chen Mu.

What does this mean?

"It shows that Jimmy Butler is an integral part of the Philadelphia 76ers."

Gu Yu's concluding statement allowed Green to catch that clue.

Butler will not go to any futile heads-up with Gu Yu, let alone try to defeat Gu Yu one-on-one. Every time he takes the ball on the court, he either throws it directly, or he fakes to catch the dribble and break through and try to make a strong throw, and he will never let everyone pull away, creating a one-on-one heads-up opportunity with Gu Yu.

This is basketball wisdom.

And Butler's role on the defensive end, he has a certain offensive ability, and he is indispensable to Gu Yu's containment. Philadelphia will not replace Iguodala, and will not replace Butler, let alone let Korver go to the opposite position with Gu Yu.

Because if Butler is against Gu Yu, Gu Yu may average 40 points per game, then it is possible for others to play against Gu Yu, and Gu Yu will average 50 or even 60 points per game.

Chen Mu and Green's group are in the same way.

"Observe what Butler does, and then you will understand what you should be doing."

Before going on the court, Phil Jackson left Green with this sentence.

Dream Chasing Green seems to have understood it now.

"Defensive !!"

Curry controlled the ball, the Kings defended the whole team, and Chen Mu's defense on this side directly gave a quasi-package treatment, which was to prevent Chen Mu from receiving the ball smoothly.

"Pull a little short, and the strong side a little more!"

Of course, Curry thought of letting his teammates empty the strong side, clear out the route of his pass to Chen Mu, and loudly direct his teammates to run.

And with the space, Chen Mu's position will naturally go deeper.

"Whoosh!"

The pass was sent, Curry's pass was not much of a problem, Chen Mu was already near the three-second zone when he received the ball, there were no teammates around, and the side of the court was all his room to play.

Behind him, Gu Yu was approaching quickly, Chen Mu wanted to turn around directly and hook his hand to attack the basket, but he was afraid that Gu Yu, the man who knew him best in the world, would suddenly step forward and steal, and he was a little hesitant.

And at this time, the most correct way is in front of him, Chen Mu doesn't do it, and his conscience can't go.

"......", "Whoosh! ”

With a scolding voice, Chen Mu half turned around, everything was like a copy of the previous round, and the basketball flew over Gu Yu's head again, heading straight for the bottom corner of the weak side.

"Transfer to Jimmy Butler, there's a shot...... Green is coming up!! ”

This time, Chen Mu finally saw clearly what tricks the Kings were playing:

At the moment when he sent out the pass, Green immediately turned around and went straight to Butler, leaving Chen Mu alone with Gu Yu.

Butler will definitely make a shot in the future, but with Green's octopus defense, it is not easy to shoot, and if you want to score, it will be a fairy ball.

Knowing that the probability of Butler not scoring is very high, Chen Mu of course has to stay in the three-second zone in the front court and find a way to compete for rebounds.

This leads to one thing.

"Bang bang...... Call! ”

With two steps on the dribble and a mid-range shot, Butler gritted his teeth and forced a jumper on top of Green's head, but this time, it didn't feel as smooth as he thought.

There is always a time to finish throwing the fairy ball.

As Phil Jackson said, there's no way Philadelphia can keep up this magical shooting percentage until the end of the game.

"Rebounding!"

Seeing Butler's shot, the Philadelphia players immediately became alert, and Chen Mu stuck Gu Yu behind him easily. Plumlee also tried his best to entangle with Bynum in an attempt to get a piece of the pie.

As for Butler himself, he was on the baseline when he shot, and of course he had to rush to grab the rebound.

As a result, three of the five players of the Philadelphia 76ers fell in the low post in the deepest part of the King's half.

meanwhile

“…… Rub! ”

Gu Yu turned around and ran away.

Worst......!

Hearing the sound of Gu Yu running away, Chen Mu knew that something was wrong, and when he saw it, Plumlee and Butler were actually under the king's basket.

Not far away, Curry and Wei Shao are entangled, and they are already thankful that they can follow Wei Shao. Iguodala was not easy either, Paul George tried to go inside to protect the rebound, and at the same time entangled with Iguodala, so that the Philadelphia outside gate could not return to the defense in the first place.

Gu Yu, the most terrifying super nuclear weapon in the King's formation, was actually emptied.

Or just when the transition is about to begin!

"Dang!"

…… Well?!

With an instant of numbness in his heart, Chen Mu was slightly distracted and made some judgments on the situation.

As a result, when the sound of the basketball smashing on the basket sounded, Chen Mu didn't have time to rush to the best scramble point.

"My ......!"

In the crowd, a black shadow rushed up, although it was not tall, but it was very imposing. A pair of iron arms like a vice, volleyed the ball off, and then ......

"Whoosh——!!!"

Long pass!

"Green's rebound! landed directly and teleported out, and there was no one around the cousin in the front court!! ”

Original, so ......!

Turning around again, Chen Mu wanted to chase after him and gave Gu Yu a nailboard hat from behind.

But he was not a magician, and he could not accomplish such an impossible task.

Looking at it, Gu Yu had already come to the three-point line in the front court.

Start with basketball.

"Whew!"

There are a few people in history who will shoot such unreasonable and illogical three-point shots when there is no one in the front court and there is still plenty of offensive time.

Each one, it's a super nerve knife!

"Huh!"

“YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH——!!”

Middle!

"......?!"

Dozens of seconds ago, Philadelphia had a lead of 19 points, and in an instant, the difference was reduced to 13 points.

Match, and some fight!

"Seduced Philadelphia to grab the frontcourt rebound, resulting in Chen, Butler, and Plumlee not being able to quickly return to defense, and then using his cousin's high mobility to engage in a chase and raid ......"

On the side of the commentary stage, Barkley was completely dumbfounded, this iron man who has been fighting hand-to-hand with people on the inside all his life, never thought that the sport of basketball would evolve into this one day.

When the score is behind, instead of strengthening the defense, but trying every means to create opportunities for quick offense, and fight with the opponent to score??

The Sacramento Kings are truly an epoch-making team!

"In fact, we are no strangers to this style of play."

On the other side, at the Internet commentary desk, Kefan was fascinated and said: "About nine years ago, when a man with long hair came to Phoenix, he once created a similar basketball miracle with a mustache. At that time, they were the same as the current Kings, no matter whether they were ahead or behind, no matter what the situation was, there was only the word 'offense' in their veins! ”

Score points in a row in a way that is more efficient and faster than yours.

Even if I can't stop you, even if my rebounds are blown up by you, I still have a chance to turn the tables.

No matter how slim the chances are, it's better than trying to come with you with a defense I'm not good at.

That's the essence of Kings basketball!

“DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! ”

Philadelphia attacked again, scoring a lot of hard points in consecutive rounds, and it didn't necessarily score a goal after 20 seconds, but the opponent could quickly increase the score with a long pass and a shot.

This feeling made the Philadelphia players feel as heavy on their shoulders as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs.

The offense is powerful, the defensive end, the Kings players are also interested, and in the frantic shouts of the bench, Wei Shao rushed with an arrow and suddenly flashed in front of Curry without warning.

“…… Syllable! ”

Stephen Curry, empty.
