Chapter 549 No Miracles

"Just kidding." Su Miao smiled at Mu Chenfeng, "We just want to share the pressure of attack for you, and we don't really want to compete with you for MVP."

Mu Chenfeng was skeptical about Su Miao's words. The MVP of the Asian Cup final was very valuable. Judging from the data of the players on the field, it was really unclear who would win the MVP in the end. Mu Chenfeng could only be said to be the player closest to the MVP, but this did not mean that others were completely impossible.

However, since the Chinese team "shared" Mu Chenfeng's offensive pressure, the point difference has indeed been widened.

"It's strange to believe you." Mu Chenfeng said coldly, this MVP is very important to Mu Chenfeng, because today is his younger brother Mu Chenyu's birthday, and he has not met his younger brother for many years, but every year Mu Chenyu's birthday, Mu Chenfeng remembers it very clearly, and every year he prepares a birthday present for him, hoping to "give" it to him.

This year's gift is quite special. Mu Chenfeng wants to use the Asian Cup champion and the Asian Cup MVP trophy as gifts for his beloved younger brother. Mu Chenyu's love for basketball is no less than anyone else.

"For Xiaoyu's sake, I will also decide on this MVP." Mu Chenfeng said coldly.

However, Mu Chenfeng still followed the previous agreement with his teammates, and he would never attack until someone of them scored 13 points.

Who will be the first to score 13 points?Mu Chenfeng was "screening" the other four in his mind. The scores of the previous four were still very average, but then Li Tianlong and Zhang Jianing began to dominate the team's offense, and their scores rose faster than the others. Soon, their scores reached 12 points, only one point away from 13 points.

"Is it Li Tianlong or Zhang Jianing?" Both of them are possible, and the certainty is extremely high.

The current lead of the Chinese team has reached as much as 15 points, and it is getting closer and closer to the Asian Cup championship, but this is not enough to completely relax the point difference. In the history of the Asian Cup finals, there has been a scene where they were 17 points behind and finally completed a reversal. Moreover, there is a coach who is very good at playing headwinds on the coaching bench of New Zealand. He just gave a simple pointer, and the state of the entire New Zealand team is different.

The lag in the score is entirely due to the difference in the strength of the players of the two sides, and has little to do with the coaching level of the coaches. Moreover, from the point of view of on-the-spot tactics, Bugatti's tactics are even better than Fang Tianzheng.

Hiss~ A piercing whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the New Zealand players turned their gazes to the coach's bench. This is Bugatti's habit of coaching for many years, using whistles to attract the attention of the players on the field, and combined with gestures to allow the players to complete tactical changes on the field. This habit helped him save many timeouts.

I saw Bugatti's ten fingers spread out, then crossed together, and with a hard buckle, the tactical arrangement was over.

The team members understand that this action is a "full-court marking" tactic, and the last dunk means marking the man to the end. No matter what happens, you don't need to give up your defender to pinch.

The New Zealand players immediately scattered to occupy their positions, looking for the Chinese team players who were playing against them.

"Man-marking all over the court? Such a strong execution ability." The tactical execution ability of the New Zealand players is very fast, because they are new to the coaches, so they will not hesitate to implement the tactics.

Although the New Zealand team's personal ability is not outstanding, they are still very active in their defensive attitude, and they spare no effort to defend. They know how to use their bodies to defend, which has brought a certain containment effect to the Chinese team's offense.

New Zealand's defensive attitude has aroused applause, but it also exposed some hidden dangers, that is, the defensive effect of this intensity is very good, but it also consumes a lot of energy for the defenders. According to this intensity, it must be difficult to last for too long, and the collapse will happen sooner or later.

There is a long time left in the game, and Bugatti has made his players play such an exhausting defense, and his determination to give it a go has already been made up.

This is their last chance. If they don't catch up after being 15 points behind, the game will probably be taken away by a wave.

Bugatti is indeed a legendary coach, and the timing of tactics is always eye-catching. New Zealand's basketball can reach such a high level, and Bugatti's efforts are indispensable.

However, the duration of his tactical effectiveness was a bit short. After three rounds, the disadvantages of man-to-man defense were revealed. The tactics were indeed good tactics, but with the strength of New Zealand players, it was difficult to bear the consumption of such tactics.

"Change tactics." The man-to-man defense lost its effect, and Bugatti immediately asked the players to change the defensive tactics to "two-three defense". This will not only strengthen the defense of positional warfare, but also reduce the consumption of players.

What the zone defense is most afraid of is the accuracy of the outside basket, but several days of the Chinese team have good outside shots. Liu Tianyu made up for the regret of not scoring in the second attack just now. Zhang Jianing also hit a three-pointer from the outside, raising his score to 15 points. He successfully overtook Mu Chenfeng and became the player with the highest score on both sides.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time." Mu Chenfeng finally "lifted" the seal, and he can attack unscrupulously.

This is undoubtedly worse for the passive New Zealand. The few players in the Chinese team are enough for the New Zealand team, but at the most critical point of chasing points, there is another Mu Chenfeng.

Under the ferocious shooting of the Chinese team from outside, the "joint defense tactics" were also forced to fail.

Bugatti spread his hands helplessly. He had thought that his tactics would fail, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon, so he was anxious for the coaching staff to discuss countermeasures as soon as possible.

During the period of being "sealed", Mu Chenfeng was not idle. His assists and rebounds had already reached 8, plus the previous 13 points, he was only two assists and two rebounds away from a triple-double.

Bugatti hastily discussed a countermeasure and prepared to implement it against the opponents. However, with Mu Chenfeng's over-difficult mid-air layup that dodged three defensive players' pull-bars in a row, Bugatti's hope of reversal was completely ruined.

20 points, a full 20 points, the New Zealand team, which kept changing tactics, not only did not close the score, but the point difference became wider and wider.

"No, there is no miracle." Bugatti finally bowed his head to fate, gently put the originally written tactical board back on the chair next to him, and quietly watched the Chinese team wreak havoc on the basket.
