You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1017
Chapter One Thousand and Ten
The preseason match between the Pistons and the Bulls can be seen as an exhibition match between Mo Mengchen and Yao Huang.

In the preseason, winning or losing is not important, let alone the venue of the game is China.

More symbolic than practical.

That night, under a relatively loose confrontational environment, Yao Huang easily scored 24 points and 8 rebounds, leading the Bulls to defeat the Pistons and win the preseason game.

In addition, Vince Carter, who joined the Bulls through a trade during the offseason, also completed the Bulls' debut.

In the past 2004-2005 season, the conflict between Carter and the Raptors was completely intensified. In order to force the team to trade him, the former made a model performance that can be called an unprofessional player.

Don't defend on the field, see the opponent's shot and go straight to the fast break;
Disclose the team's tactics to the opponent;
Going shopping and walking in the arena, the data dropped severely, causing his own transaction value to drop to the lowest point.

By the time the Raptors made up their minds to replace a generation of old players with new ones, Carter's trade value was no different from that of ordinary players.

The most gorgeous dunker in history, Vince Carter, one of the four major shooting guards, left the legacy to the Raptors are three shrimp soldiers who do not need to be named Alonzo Mourning), and a second-round pick.

To be more realistic, that second-round pick has some value, and it was the second-round pick in 2007.

As we all know, the 2007 draft was hailed by the American media as another golden year for the draft after 2003.

After being traded to the Bulls, Carter became the second-generation flying man in Chicago. Bulls fans quickly fell in love with him. He also recovered his figure with a professional performance. I hope that I will make a big difference this year.

A preseason game, although not convincing, but Carter's body is indeed recovering well, as long as there is no injury, it is no problem to become an All-Star wing with an average output of 20 points per game.

The Pistons have reservations compared to the Bulls.

Except for Mo Mengchen, none of the other main players played more than 25 minutes.

This is the season in which Frauses turned into a full-time single. He has his own ideas about the team's triangle offensive system.

After graduating from the University of Kansas, he also hoped to help the team change the system through his understanding of the triangle offense.

It's just that I didn't expect that it would be nine years after the Pistons changed their system.

From Collins' random guns and birds blinding base bully system, to the running and bombing system, to the Princeton system at the peak of the Piston Dynasty, and to the current triangle offensive system.

Frauses's predecessor, Westphal, will surely be engraved in history, not only because he was the head coach of the Pistons dynasty, but also because he personally led the Pistons through three systems.

As a link between the past and the latter, Frauses needs to use his own knowledge, experience and experience over the years to design a triangle offense suitable for the Pistons based on the characteristics of the Pistons.

During the preseason, the first thing Frauses has to do is to determine the starter for the new season.

Rasheed left, Hill was reimbursed for the season, and the team vacated two starting spots, one of which fell directly to Anthony's head, and another starting power forward position.

Frauses was surprised to find that the Pistons, with such a deep lineup, had less inside reserves than they did back then.

Up and down the team, the only pure power forwards left are Jerome Williams, who is far behind, and the veteran who came to join him in his twilight years, Dale Davis.

Neither is good enough to be the team's starting power forward.

Frauses already had a candidate in mind.

His eyes fell on Gerald Wallace.In the past four years, Gerrard has been playing small forward. During the Princeton period, he could only play in the second team because he could not integrate into Princeton. Through his defensive and athletic ability, the Pistons' second team was full of vitality.

Last season, when he switched to the triangle offense, Gerrard became the seventh man in the team. He averaged a career-high 24 minutes per game, and his personal data also reached a career-best 11 points and 5 rebounds.

Especially these 5 rebounds impressed Frauses deeply.

In Frauses' view, Gerrard has the potential to swing from the third to the fourth position like Rodman did back then.

The fourth position can give full play to Gerrard's advantages and strengths. His defense and double-teaming are like a reduced version of Kevin Garnett. His energy and rebounding sense can be used by half of Rodman. A 33% outside three-pointer that he has practiced hard for many years.

The more Froises thought about it, the more excited he became, so he went to find Mo Mengchen that night, and wanted to know his opinion on this matter.

When Mo Mengchen heard that Frauses was going to transfer Gerrard to the fourth position, he was surprised at first, and then agreed.

In his previous life, Gerrard averaged 18+10+2 per game during his peak period. This feature can be used as the fourth position of the triangle offense to fill the vacancy left by Rasheed.

In the second game of the NBA preseason game in China, the Pistons' opponent was last season's CBA runner-up Jiangsu Nangang.

In this game, Frauses let Gerrard start at the fourth position.

"Coach Frousse let Gerrard play power forward? Look at it this way? Maybe Xiao Zhong can perform well." This preseason game was broadcast live on TVCC No. 5, with commentators Yu Pishan and Zhang Lili.

Zhang Lili saw the start of the two sides, and he made a lofty vision when he came up: "The Pistons are a little underestimated. Although Xiao Zhong is young, but it is a pure fourth position. The rebounding of domestic players in the CBA for two consecutive seasons Wang, Gerrard's physical fitness may have an advantage, but he is the third position after all, this arrangement is a bit unreasonable."

How much does Mo Mengchen know about this Jiangsu team?Actually not much.

At this time in his previous life, he was busy with work in the hospital and didn't have time to watch the NBA, let alone the CBA?Just heard a few colleagues talk about it.

Although the CBA's competitive level and athletic talent are far from the NBA, it doesn't look like the same kind of sport, but looking at the CBA, it shows a sense of belonging.Last season, Jiangsu played the best season in its history and fought the new king Guangdong in the finals. Unfortunately, the luck was unlucky and it encountered a major reversal in the history of the CBA finals, just like those reversed runners-up in the NBA finals. The history of entering the CBA is just that it is a loser.

That's all Mo Mengchen knew about the Jiangsu team. Then, he saw a young man in the opposite team.

He has pretty avant-garde blond hair, but the hairstyle didn't bring any improvement to his appearance. He looks good, with star-eyed sword eyebrows, but with this hairstyle that is only compatible with Two-dimensional, how do you look at it? strangeness.

It is undeniable that his hairstyle and hair color gave him a high impression score. Anyone who watched this game would remember that the Jiangsu team had a yellow hair, but what impressed Mo Mengchen even more was his physical condition.

The height doesn't look very high, about 205 cm, but the long arms almost reach the knees.
Looking at him, Mo Mengchen thought of an NBA player who was similar in stature to him - Elton Brand.

He should be taller than Brand, with a more impressive wingspan.

Roughly estimated, this person has a height of about 205 centimeters and a wingspan of about 230 centimeters.

This person should be the legendary Zhong Guican.

It is certain that the men's basketball team in the previous life did not have this number.

"Dor.Mo, after the match, can you give me an autograph?" Before the start of the match, Zhong Guican deliberately ran up to Mo Mengchen and said politely in extremely unproficient English.

Mo Mengchen looked at Zhong Guican carefully, "Yes." (Chinese)

"3Q." He really said "3Q", not "Thank you".

Mo Mengchen was very sure that the way he learned English must be Chinese phonetic notation.

Where did this come from?
Then, the two sides prepared to jump the ball. Curry's height and explosive power were far stronger than Jiangsu team's Zhengyin center Tang Zhendong, so there was no suspense for the jump ball.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball and led it across the half court.

The Pistons' triangle offense started to work. Mo Mengchen, Ginobili and Anthony stood on the strong side, and Curry and Gerrard ran to the right.

The CBA team will not be too targeted, because they also know that if the Pistons are willing, they can torture them for 50 points without calling a timeout.

Therefore, even if Curry and Gerrard pulled away to the sideline, their players followed closely.

On the strong side, Mo Mengchen lobbed the ball to Anthony. With his low-post attack, not to mention the CBA team, few people in the NBA could win it. Therefore, this was almost a one-sided massacre.

Anthony broke through the defense and turned over for a jumper.

2 is better than 0
"There is indeed a gap in talent." Yu Pishan said, "Anthony's back-up is worth learning from domestic players."

It's just that the audience at the scene paid more attention to the matchup between Gerrard and Zhong Guican.

Gerrard is obviously a small forward, but he was stuck inside but he did not lose to Zhong Guican at all.

Zhong Guican is the insider who is rooted in Zhengmiaohong. He was squeezed out of the paint by the small forward who temporarily changed to a power forward. The outside line of the Jiangsu team dropped the ball under the high-pressure defense of the Pistons.

Mo Mengchen made a steal and rushed to the frontcourt, tens of thousands of spectators exclaimed.

Mo Mengchen took off from inside the free throw line. He was fast and slammed hard. The away game became the home game, and the audience shouted excitedly.

"Beautiful, Dor. Moli split Huashan!" Yu Pishan shouted.

Zhang Lili followed suit and said: "Dor.Mo really knows how to please the audience, look at this scene, the momentum is like the Pistons' home court!"

In the next round, Zhong Guican gave up the position, ran to the high position and played a pick-and-roll with the team's main point guard, and then split to the high position to stand still.

Gerrard was not familiar with him. According to NBA habits, he gave priority to pinching the ball holder. Nangang's master shot the ball very quickly. Zhong Guican took the ball, adjusted for a long time, and jumped up to shoot.

Such a long preparation time, if you don't make it, it's really unreasonable.
