You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1018 My wish is to die in Detroit
Facing the Pistons, the king of the NBA, Zhong Guican showed NBA-level talent.

He can't beat Gerrard, but his super long wingspan can always make him pick melons on his head.

It's just that Gerrard can't be regarded as the fourth position when he is placed in the NBA. When he meets an NBA-level fourth position?Can he get stuck and survive around the rim?
this is a problem.

After playing for a few minutes, Nangang was basically unable to make an effective counterattack. Zhong Guican's offensive end relied entirely on the jumper after the pick-and-roll.

He has a neat set of jumpers, soft touch, beautiful aerial posture, and high open control.

It's just that his preparation time is too long.

If you want to play in the NBA, even if you give him an open spot, his shot preparation time makes it difficult for him to guarantee his shooting percentage.

This point, the Pistons showed through the changes on the defensive end.

In the first quarter, Zhong Guican made 6 of 4 shots from the free throw line and scored a team-high 8 points and 4 rebounds. He was the best player in Nangang.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Pistons got a little serious and never allowed Zhong Guican to get an open shot.

In order to prove his strength in front of NBA teams, Zhong Guican made a lot of bad shot choices, and his offensive efficiency plummeted.

The Pistons have the most oppressive defense in the league. As long as they don't keep an eye on the ball handler, it will be difficult for Zhong Guican to get the big open before.

In fact, the moment the pick-and-roll is opened, the opportunity is formed. If Zhong Guican's shot speed is fast enough, or if he is replaced by any insider in the NBA who is used to flying kites in high positions, he is sure to make the ball.

Because Zhong Guican's shot preparation time is over, even if it is an opportunity, the Pistons' defensive rotation can extinguish the opportunity.

"Look, the Pistons are serious. It seems that Xiao Zhong's performance surprised them." Zhang Lili continued to exaggerate, "The Pistons are best at team fighting, and their defense is one of the best in the NBA." , it is very difficult for Xiao Zhong to get a vacant seat now."

Yu Pishan echoed: "Let's see if Xiao Zhong can create scoring opportunities through other means."

Not to mention the commentators and Chinese fans, Mo Mengchen is also very curious, besides high shooting, does Zhong Guican have other offensive skills?
In the next few minutes, the answer will be revealed.

No.

Zhong Guican is a typical blue-collar style of play, rushing to grab offensive rebounds, plus a high jumper. With his talent, this style of play can average 18 points and 14 rebounds per game in the CBA.

If his shooting isn't so flawed, it's fine to play like this.

Zhong Guican's shooting problem is really terrible.

This is a typical youth team coach's short-sightedness, did not consider the long-term future, and did not urge him to change his shooting posture when he needed to change his shooting posture.

Zhong Guican's shooting has little impact in the lower-level CBA league.

But what kind of confrontation and rhythm is that in the NBA?It is very rare to have a wide open shot, and only when Zhong Guican gets a large open can he fully prepare for the shot and ensure his hit rate.

The high-post shot is his only consistent offensive tool, which has proven ineffective against NBA-level defenses.

After halftime, the Pistons led Jiangsu Nangang by 18 points politely, and did not beat the opponent too badly.

Zhong Guican had 12 points and 7 rebounds in the half. For the fans, he performed very well.

"Mr. Mo, what do you think of Nangang No. 14's performance? (Zhong Guican)" During the interview, the reporter unsurprisingly asked Mo Mengchen what he thought of Zhong Guican.

Mo Mengchen was already prepared, he said: "I am deeply impressed by Zhong Guican's performance."

Mo Mengchen not only said the other party's name, but also gave an affirmative answer. The reporter naturally smiled and continued to ask.

"Do you think he can make it in the NBA?"

If Mo Mengchen was a polite foreigner, he should have an official tone.He is indeed polite, but for some things, it's better to be explicit. For Zhong Guican, what he needs is advice, not unnecessary flattery.

"He has the talent to enter the NBA." Before making a suggestion, it is basic etiquette to praise someone. "His wingspan is amazing. Even if he is put in the NBA, he is also the top group of people."

but
As long as there is one more good word, it will take a turn for the worse.

"However," Mo Mengchen said, "he is too young to learn how to take advantage of his wingspan."

Although he was somewhat critical, Mo Mengchen also helped Zhong Guican find an excuse.

"Also, his figure is a bit thin. If he wants to survive in the NBA, a strong body is a must." Mo Mengchen said, "His shooting speed needs to be faster, because the NBA-level defensive strength will not give him too much. Open opportunities, he needs to have the ability to pull open the pick-and-roll moment and grab the open shot."

While talking, Mo Mengchen felt that he said too much, and some words were not very appropriate.

He stopped.

"In short, he is a very good young man with a bright future." Mo Mengchen said, "By the way, how old is he?"

The reporter finally said: "Xiao Zhong is 19 years old this year."

"It's really a boy born from a hero." Mo Mengchen was already surprised that he was fluent in Mandarin, and now he even used "a boy born from a hero". The reporter was extremely shocked and thanked Mo Mengchen for accepting the interview.

Mo Mengchen turned around and entered the player tunnel.

Yu Pishan and Zhang Lili listened to Mo Mengchen's evaluation of Zhong Guican the whole time.

They are all people in the industry, so they can naturally hear Mo Mengchen's overtones, and they also know that those words are really from the bottom of their hearts.

"I hope that Xiao Zhong can listen to Dor.Mo's suggestion." Yu Pishan said, "As an NBA veteran and a contemporary superstar who has made great achievements, his words are really sincere. I believe he carefully I watched Xiao Zhong's game carefully."

Zhang Lili hummed, nodded and said: "I believe that Xiao Zhong will keep Dor.Mo's suggestion firmly in mind. I understand this kid. When he entered the Olympic Hope Team, I took him. He was originally a The main attacker of the volleyball team, because Dor.Mo switched to basketball, is considered a half-way monk, and his basic skills are not very solid, but this kid trains hard, and he will definitely be able to make a difference in the future."

Yu Pishan began to take the topic away, "Oh? Xiao Zhong was also in the Olympic hopeful team?"

Zhang Lili responded lightly, and began to tell the story between him and Zhong Guican.

Later, Mo Mengchen also learned of Zhong Guican's origin from this.

Because of his existence, a talented boy who might have been buried in the volleyball team chose basketball.

Since then, China has lost a volleyball player who is tall and long and chooses the wrong line, but has gained a talented NBA potential stock.

In the second half, Mo Mengchen continued to start the game.

Normally, he wouldn't play for such a long time in the preseason, just because this is China. In order not to be booed by the audience, Frauses had to let Mo Mengchen play for more than 35 minutes no matter what.

Fortunately, the intensity of the game was not high. Mo Mengchen ran back and forth on the field, occasionally getting the ball and causing amazing cheers.

"Is Dad's popularity too high in China?"

"If there is another disaster in China one day, if you donate 3000 million US dollars to them, you can also have this popularity."

Jerome educated Martel Webster.

Webster's first question when he heard him was: "I don't even know if I'm going to make $3000 million in my lifetime."

"I can do it, why can't you?" Jerome asked him back.

Hearing his words, Webster stared at him for a long time in disbelief.

His contemptuous eyes made Jerome very angry: "Yes, my salary is not high; yes, Detroit has high taxes; but don't forget, what is our team called and what achievements we have achieved, as long as you Stay with the team long enough and your ad dollars and endorsements will far outweigh your salary."

Hearing this, Webster said unscrupulously: "Well, starting today, my wish is to live in Detroit forever!"

Jerome snorted, Detroit forever?Easier said than done.

From 1995 to the present, the Pistons have come and gone, and those who can stay are either superstars like Mo Mengchen, or special role players like Jerome and Lore.

There are too many players who entered the team later than them, but were sent away by the team after showing their worth.

There are too many.

It is not an easy task to want to die in Detroit.

In this preseason match, the suspense was lost at the beginning of the third quarter, and it became Zhong Guican's talent exhibition match and Mo Mengchen's individual exhibition match.

He started hitting [-]-pointers from every angle.

Both the left-handed three-pointer and the corner three-pointer came.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Mo Mengchen intercepted Nangang's pass, rushed to the frontcourt, sent his fourth counter-attack dunk, scored 42 points, and the game officially entered garbage time.

Winning or losing doesn't matter.

Although Nangang was abused for 41 points, everyone was smiling.

Zhong Guican showed his talent to the NBA team, scored a team-high 20 points and 13 rebounds, and was praised by Mo Mengchen after the game.

After that, ESPN ranked Zhong Guican as the 28th pick in the first round in the latest forecast draft.
