The world of basketball

Chapter 35
As the Spurs learned from the pain, um, not the generals, just those young and vigorous young people, the Spurs ushered in the home game against the Suns after a day off.

Mu Xiaobei's outstanding performance has greatly encouraged domestic fans. Since the start of the game, Mu Xiaobei has averaged 21.8 points per game, 12.6 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.8 blocks per game. .

The number one player of the Spurs, LaMarcus Aldridge, the top three All-Star power forward in the league, averaged 22.3 points per game, 10.1 rebounds per game, and 3.2 assists per game, and at least two of them were sent to the outside. Mu Xiaobei, who is in space, averaged 1.6 blocks per game.

The Suns picked up Ayton, who took Embiid as a template this year. He is very similar to Embiid, and the offensive end is very similar.

They can all play in the low post. They have gorgeous footsteps, similar height and wingspan, soft touch, a wide range of low post weapons, and good outside shooting ability.

He is a center player who is very suitable for the modern small ball era.

And one third of the season has passed, Ayton, Mu Xiaobei, and Doncic have always been in the top four rotations on the best rookie list. Well, there is also Fultz.

Injuries in the rookie season seem to be a tradition of the 76ers. Noel and Okafor, who did not conform to the tradition, were sent away.

这四位新秀艾顿场均18.9分10.8篮板和2.0封盖，东契奇场均15.6分7.5篮板7.8助攻1.2封盖，富尔茨场均17分4.6助攻3.2篮板。

Among them, Mu Xiaobei’s Spurs are fourth in the third league in the Western Conference, Fultz’s 76ers are sixth in the Eastern Conference’s third conference, and Doncic’s Mavericks are ninth in the Western Conference, which is the same record as the Nuggets and the Lakers. , Competing for a playoff spot, Ayton's Suns are No.12 in the West, but they are only one win away from the Mavericks.

Crazy West.

Mu Xiaobei was selected with the No. 25 pick. Many fans called him a player with the same low pick as Butler and Leonard. distance.

Many people also admire Mu Xiaobei's humility, after all, humility is a traditional Chinese virtue.

During the game against the Suns at home, Mu Xiaobei and Ayton both performed well, but Ayton's defense, um, how should I say it?

When Embiid learned that he was Ayton's template, he said: "I don't have no defense at all."

Yes, Ayton is indeed defenseless.

In the process of the Spurs playing against the Suns, Popovich still continued to break through hard, to the death, and when he was tired, he went up to Belinelli and Bullock to shoot three-pointers.

The defense of Canan and Booker in the frontcourt of the Suns can only be called average. Ariza is indeed a top perimeter defender in the league, but Ryan Anderson and Walton on the inside are the kind of players who don't have much defense.

Although the Suns feel good on the outside, the Spurs turned the entire Suns team into a sieve.

最终，沃顿拿下16分8篮板，而木小北以六成的命中率拿下28分13篮板4助攻，更有6个封盖在手。

It can be said that on both ends of the offense and defense, Mu Xiaobei, the No. 25 pick, can be said to have crushed Ayton, and the Spurs took 120:104 to shoot down the sun.

In China, Zhihu, Hupu and other domestic fans who care about Mu Xiaobei's growth can be said to be very excited about Mu Xiaobei's performance in this game.

Especially compared to the performance of No. [-] pick Ayton, Mu Xiaobei's performance has been blown to the sky by domestic fans. If it weren't for Mu Xiaobei's relatively low-key and humble remarks, he would become a national black man if he couldn't stand it.

In the next two games against the Clippers and the Bulls, the Spurs won both games and achieved three consecutive victories.

The next battle was that the Spurs played against the 76ers at home. This was the last game of the Spurs' sweet five-game home game. This time, Mu Xiaobei was not facing Ayton, but Embiid.

In the fifth year of Bide, the emperor conquered the holy city in the west, and the holy city was written, and the western tyrants were also powerful.

Embiid's dominance on both ends of the offense and defense definitely has the potential to be called the league's top superstar. The 76ers with him and without him are completely two teams.

Top-level athletic talent, soft touch, solid footwork, defensive awareness, can keep up with single defense and small defense, and the speed of assisted defense is also fast.

Adding Saric, Redick, Simmons, Covington and last year's No. [-] pick Fultz, etc., although this lineup is still immature, the talent of this lineup is visible to the naked eye.

The 76ers' record is currently third in the Eastern Conference, only half a game away from the second-placed Raptors, and two games away from the Celtics in the Eastern Conference.

"Welcome to the NBA regular season game between the Spurs and the 76ers brought by Penguin Sports. I am the host Wang Meng. I am very happy to invite Teacher Su Qun and Guoguo to watch the game with you." Wang Meng said.

"Mr. Su, how far do you think Mu Xiaobei and Embiid can play in this matchup?" Wang Meng asked.

"I think these two players are very strong players, and they are also centers that are very in line with the modern small ball trend. Both have good defensive capabilities, as well as low-post skills and shooting capabilities." Su Qun said.

"I think some players on the Internet have a high evaluation of Mu Xiaobei. Mu Xiaobei's body still needs to be developed. I heard that he is learning swimming from Duncan. I think this is very good." Su Qun is a very elegant The narrator said.

"Yes, Mu Xiaobei's strength and confrontation can only be regarded as mid-level in the NBA. Everyone hopes that Mu Xiaobei can improve, but we still have to focus on the present and find out the shortcomings." Wang Meng said.

"Okay, players from both sides enter the court and start jumping the ball. Mu Xiaobei helps the Spurs get the ball first." Wang Meng explained.

When Mudiay got the ball, Embiid and Simmons were their strengths on the defensive end. Popovich asked Mu Xiaobei to open up the space and let Adelaide play as much as possible.

This is why the Spurs' new twin towers can help the Spurs change the opponent's defense and make a variety of tactical play. The opponent's strength is at the fourth position, so let Mu Xiaobei play low; the opponent's strength is at the fifth position , then let Adelaide play low.

There are very few teams in the league with four and five positions forming twin towers.

If the fourth and fifth positions are not strong, then go ahead, try hard, and doomed.

Aldridge faced Saric with the ball, dribbled the ball face-to-face, and held Saric with one hand. Lonnie Walker suddenly shot out from a diagonal stab, and Adele hit the ground and passed the ball to Walker.

Walker jumped high, and Covington came to defend.

"Beep-"

The referee's whistle sounded, but Walker didn't get up for a long time.

When Walker was confronting Covington in the air, he rolled and landed with his palms on the floor, and rolled a few times on the floor.

Mu Xiaobei hurried over to see how Walker was doing, only to see Walker lying on the ground in pain, clutching his hands.

The team doctor immediately ran over, asked Walker how he was feeling or how, and then told Popovich these situations with a serious face and carried Walker out.

A bad premonition greeted Mu Xiaobei's heart, it was over, his little brother seemed to be hurt again.
