Chapter 290 It's Not Easy To Win (Two in One)

The 76ers continued to give the ball to Brand to play. The captain became the hottest point on the field for the 76ers today. No one inside the Bobcats could limit him.

Watching Brand turn upside down inside, Chen Mo wanted to use the beheading plan again.

"Open up the space, empty the inside line, and call me!" Chen Mo shouted.

At this time, the first quarter of the game has been carried out to the 8th minute, the score is 28 to 17, and the Bobcats are still 11 points behind.

Brand can't limit this point. No matter how strong the Bobcats' attack power is, they still can't cause too much damage to the 76ers.

Doug Collins has made a decision to give Brand the most playing time today, and must bite the victory in the away game.

Chen Mo ran to the basket after holding the ball with Milicic in a pick-and-roll. However, almost all of the 76ers' defensive focus was on Chen Mo, and Chen Mo couldn't find a chance to play Brand in a misplaced single.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth, waved his teammates to pull away completely, and made extraordinary moves without hesitating his physical strength.With the screams from the Time Warner Center, Chen Mo passed three 3ers players in a row. When he finally had a chance to face Brand, Brand did not confront Chen Mo head-on at the basket. Withdrew directly and let Chen Mo layup.

Chen Mo had no choice but to score the ball with a very ordinary posture, but then shook his head helplessly.

Scoring goals is not his main purpose, his main purpose is to make Brand foul and beat Brand down.

Brand looked at Chen Mo with a sinister smile, and said with a smile, "I won't give you a chance to kill me."

If Chen Mo had to make such difficult moves to face Brand, he would have no way to directly kill Brand while Brand was avoiding the fight, and he would consume too much physical energy. Soon.

Barkley shook his head and said: "Jack wanted to foul Brand and beat Brand down, but Brand obviously avoided fighting. He couldn't take advantage of Jack, so he simply let go and gave up. Defense."

"He did the right thing. Jack couldn't have been forced to break through and hit the inside. In fact, it was not easy for him to score goals like this." Kenny Smith said.

"Philadelphia's changes in this game are obvious. They try their best to consume Jack, defend against Jack, and then beat Brand to death. This is their only hope of winning so far." Barkley against the field Doing technical analysis of the situation on the Internet.

Chen Mo's beheading plan failed, and the Bobcats were still 10 points behind Philadelphia at the end of the first quarter.

With a double-digit score behind, Sloan still arranged players to play according to the usual rotation.

In the second quarter of the game, Brand re-entered the game after a rest of less than 2 minutes.The score continued to increase again, Chen Mo frowned, and said to Sloan: "Coach, let me play!"

Sloan looked at his watch and said, "You must not play before 6 minutes."

Chen Mo still wanted to argue, but Sloan waved his hand and said, "It's not that we won't play for you, but our goal is the championship. Now it's only the second playoff game, and it will take two months from the first round to the finals." , I can never increase your playing time. We don't have much experience in the playoffs, and every game is an opportunity for us to learn from it, even every minute."

Chen Mo understood what Sloan meant, so he naturally expressed his understanding.He alone may be able to help the team overwhelm the 76ers, but there are Miami, Chicago, and the championship team in the Western Conference behind. Can Chen Mo drag the team to victory alone?
Not to mention that strength is not allowed, physical fitness is also not allowed.

Chen Mo's biggest weakness now seems to be physical fitness.And to the end of the playoffs, the fight is all about physical fitness.

Chen Mo continued to sit on the sidelines, and when he returned to play, the point difference was widened to 16 points again.

"Charlotte still lacks playoff experience!" Kenny Smith sighed: "Jack's basketball IQ makes him very adaptable. But other people are different, except Boris (Diao), Stephen (Jackson) Players with a lot of playoff experience, other players' playoff resumes are very pale. Brand is a bit too demanding in this game."

"Neither Darko (Milisic) nor Boris (Dior) can defend Brand, Brand is really a rare explosion today!" Barkley added.

In fact, it's not just their inside line that makes the Bobcats look embarrassed. Augustine and Henderson on the outside line are a little uncomfortable.Although the performance on the opposite side was not particularly good, the confrontation between the two teams' substitute lineups was indeed chaotic.However, the 76ers have a runaway Brand, so the scene is that the 76ers have the advantage.

In fact, it's not just how badly the Bobcats played that caused such a situation on the scene. It also has something to do with their consistent rotation rhythm in the past.

Brand and Thaddeus Young's playing time is obviously extended. Doug Collins' goal is not a championship. All he needs to consider is the present.The Bobcats are still thinking about the future, and it is not yet the time for them to focus on the present.Therefore, they will show certain disadvantages on the scene.

When Chen Mo came on the court, he thought very clearly that he had to play more efficiently in order to delay the game.

In the first half of the second quarter, the Time Warner Center seemed a little quiet.Jessica's worry appeared on her face again, she definitely didn't want the Bobcats to lose.However, she has not known basketball for a long time, and the 16-point difference is already very large in her opinion, so she is more worried than those fans who are very used to the Bobcats winning this season.

After Chen Mo came on stage, the Time Warner Center erupted into a burst of cheers, and some fans even started shouting the word "Reaper".

Chen Mo waved at the fans, and then started this attack.

Holiday stared at Chen Mo's movements in front of Chen Mo. As soon as Chen Mo passed halftime, the 76ers double-teamed.

Chen Mo called his teammates to pick and roll as usual, but this time Chen Mo did not seize the space to break through, but pulled up and shot which is very rare.

There was not much room for shots, and Chen Mo also made shots based on his feeling, and he might miss the shot, but he had to bear more in today's game.

"Shua!" The ball fell into the basket precisely.

Chen Mo clenched his fist tightly, and then shouted to his teammates to defend, "Foul, give him free throws, I don't believe he is not lenient in free throws today."

Brand has been on the free throw line 9 times today, but he only made one free throw.At the same time, he has scored 19 points so far, shooting more than [-]% of the shots, and the efficiency is extremely high.That is, his efficient performance has made the Bobcats very embarrassed so far.

Sloan is very satisfied with Chen Mo's command on the court. What the Bobcats need now is fierce defense to interrupt Brand's fiery state.

"Charlotte's defense against Brand is visibly vicious. Brand's fieryness today is indeed a bit abnormal. Letting him go to the free throw line to stop his fiery state may be a double-edged sword. !” said Kenny Smith.

The game is still going on, and the Bobcats' fierce defense does not seem to have a good effect.Brand did misfire a bit, but their outside Holiday has bloomed again.He made two consecutive three-pointers, allowing the 76ers to continue to suppress the Bobcats in the score.

"Damn it, I can't deal with Brand today, and I can't deal with you?" Chen Mo also got angry.

In this attack, Chen Mo hooked Holiday directly, "Do you dare to defend against one alone?"

Unexpectedly, Holiday shook his head and said, "I can't prevent you!"

This is the first time Chen Mo has encountered this kind of direct confession, and this also makes his provocation feel like hitting cotton.

In fact, Holiday's mentality is very good. He has never been jealous of Chen Mo. Talent is given by God, and it cannot be envied.Holiday is very satisfied with his current situation, he doesn't want to compare with Chen Mo at all, and he doesn't want to prove that he is better than Chen Mo.

In Holiday's view, Chen Mo is the kind of super genius created by God, and he is just a role player.His thinking is the same as that of Jennings. He no longer regards Chen Mo as an opponent to catch up with. He is just a high-ranking super genius.

But even if Holiday admits to being cowardly, Chen Mo still has no plans to let him go.

Chen Mo shook his shoulders, and then directly stuck to it.When Holiday faced Chen Mo, he kept a high level of nervousness. They had just passed halftime, and Chen Mo faked a shot, which directly shook Holiday.

Chen Mo pulled back the feint of worshiping Buddha, and then moved forward again when Holiday's feet were unstable.

Chen Mo threw the ball blindly, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Three free throws!Chen Mo stood at the free throw line.

Chen Mo smiled, and Holiday shook his head helplessly. He knew that he was too nervous just now, and he would be embarrassed in that position.

Chen Mo understood Holiday's psychology through the sentence just now, and Holiday regarded him as a great god, and even worshiped him a little bit.That's why Chen Mo chose to cheat by making a fake shot after shaking his shoulders, but he didn't know that Holiday was really fooled.

At the free throw line, Chen Mo made all the free throws steadily.

Afterwards, the two sides continued to fight hard to attack. After all, the Bobcats' offensive efficiency was better than the 76ers'. In fact, it was Chen Mo's point that their efficiency was much higher.

Chen Mo hit three three-pointers and five free throws in the second quarter, scoring a total of 14 points.Now, the first half of the game came to the final drive, the Bobcats trailed by 11 points.

As the time entered the countdown stage of the last 10 seconds, Chen Mo took advantage of the double pick-and-roll of Gerald Wallace and Jackson to start directly, and quickly walked to the free throw line to pull up and shoot directly.

Chen Mo's dry jump is not high, but he has a strong judgment on the position, he knows that in this position, the opponent cannot interfere.

Brand didn't care about the foul at this time, and he just jumped out to cover Chen Mo's shot.There is Holiday in the back and Thaddeus Young next to him.

But Chen Mo knew that in his position, none of the three of them could interfere with his shooting.Therefore, Chen Mo's shots were very steady.

The ball drew a beautiful arc and fell directly into the basket.

Chen Mo scored 2 points, scoring his 16 points in the second quarter and 22 points in the whole game. At the same time, he also successfully narrowed the point difference to single digits in the half.

In the locker room, Sloan was very dissatisfied with Milicic and Diaw's defense. Both of them lowered their heads and didn't know what to respond. There is no limit at all!
However, after all, Sloan still did not make changes.Chen Mo opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end.After all, Sloan is still the head coach, and he always gets worse.In addition, Sloan may have his own ideas, and 23 years of experience is by no means a joke.

The second half of the game continued to be anxious, and the worries on Jessica's face did not dissipate. The Bobcats were always behind the 76ers in score.

With the decline of physical fitness, Chen Mo began to reduce his shots.

At the end of the three quarters, the Bobcats were still 6 points behind.However, Chen Mo had to rest at the end of the game, while Brand was always on the court. He didn't rest in the second half. His total rest time today was 1 minute and 42 seconds at the start of the second quarter.

Chen Mo watched off the court as the score that had already been recovered was slowly drawn away again. He was anxious, but he didn't ask Sloan to play again.

In the last 6 minutes of the game, the Bobcats' trailing score reached double digits again, and Brand's scoring data has reached 41 points, which is a very explosive data.

With 6 minutes left in the final quarter, Sloan called a long timeout.

"Stephen (Jackson) and Gerald (Wallace), you two are going to pinch Brand for me, and use killing tactics directly. In addition, Jack plays more by himself, mixed with off-ball offense, to open up more space. In the position of the two horns, do more off-ball screens, and give me a hard cut to the basket!"

Sloan finally made a change at this time. Before, he always emphasized offense, but did not emphasize defense. This is the first time that Sloan emphasized defense when arranging tactics.

Today, the Bobcats did leave a hole for themselves at the beginning of the game, but they never filled the hole.But at this last moment, it's time to fill in the hole.

At this time, Chen Mo also understood Sloan's thoughts. The gains and losses in this game may not be important. What he wanted to tell the players was mainly the mentality, and let the players experience more of the feeling of playing against the wind.

Sloan really worked hard, but while Chen Mo understood, he also decided to fill in the hole at the last moment.

It may not be easy for them to win this game, but it is not easy for the 76ers to win.

"Boss, don't worry, leave the rest to us!" Chen Mo said, patting his chest.

Jackson also waved his fist and yelled, "I won't let that guy have a good time. I'm going to crush his balls."
