You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 105 Scarlet Bull

Chapter 1 The Scarlet Bull

The negative impact of Houston's absence is still there.

Although Mo Mengchen has increased his shots, he is not the kind of star player who is difficult to limit. His shots rely on running positions and teammates passing the ball, and he lacks the ability to solve problems one-on-one.

Although Houston also relies on assists, if he is given space, he is quite sure to solve the opponent in a one-on-one situation.

In the 12 games without Houston, the Pistons scored 7 wins and 5 losses, still ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference.

For them, that's the best possible outcome, since Houston's comeback is imminent.

In the first game of Houston's comeback, the Pistons played against the Pacers.

That night, Houston was out of shape, and Miller rained three-pointers on the outside.

102 is better than 96
The Pacers won and avenged their previous defeat.

This battle also knocked the Pistons down one place, and they dropped from sixth in the Eastern Conference to seventh.

It was also on the day of Houston's comeback that Mo Mengchen's attribute points had accumulated to 41000, and he decided to use up his attribute points.

First, he increased his core strength from 55 to 60, consuming 6000 attribute points.

There are 35000 attribute points.

Next, he increases the traverse speed from 63 to 70 at a cost of 12000.

It made his heart ache, it was so fucking expensive.

In a blink of an eye, only 23000 attribute points were left on his body.

Immediately afterwards, he increased his upper body strength from 75 to 80, consuming 15000 attribute points.

There are only 8000 attribute points left.

With the remaining 8000 attribute points, he increased the offensive stability from 44 to 50.

In this way, the attribute points accumulated for half a season were all used up in the blink of an eye.

Mo Mengchen turned off the attribute adding module, and in a blink of an eye, his total rating increased by 1 point.

After spending 40000+ attribute points, in the end, the overall rating only increased by 1 point.

Is this game too difficult?

Mo Mengchen didn't feel right—no, maybe the attributes I added didn't reflect it in the evaluation.

Think about what I have added.

Lateral speed, core strength, upper body strength, offensive stability.

Of these attributes, only the offensive stability is helpful to the increase of the total rating, and the others can only be reflected in the game.

Now, his upper body strength is 80 points, his lower body strength is 85 points, and his core strength is 60 points. No matter what part of his strength it is, he is qualified or even at an excellent level, unless he encounters a dislocation, or Kidd. A back-hitter with a body as thick as a bull, otherwise he shouldn't be knocked around like he was at the beginning of the season.

The reason why Mo Mengchen chose to enhance his attributes at this juncture is very simple. When Houston came back, the Pistons had a second firepower. Even if he felt freezing during this period, the team would not be caught off guard.

The increase of 5 points in upper body strength has a great impact on his touch, as if he had upper body strength above the standard, and suddenly, his upper body strength has reached an excellent level, and his shooting touch will naturally have problems.

In the next seven games, Mo Mengchen took 22 outside shots and only hit 2 goals.

The three-point shooting percentage also dropped from a terrifying 55% to 51%. Fortunately, he found his touch in the eighth game against the Cavaliers.

This was a tough match, and neither side had a good hand, except for Mo Mengchen.

He seems to rely on one game to throw back all the shots he didn't make before.

That night, Mo Mengchen made 26 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 7 points, 45 rebounds and [-] assists, helping the team defeat the Cavaliers at the last minute and win their [-]th victory of the season.

There are only three games left in the regular season, and the Pistons have already established their position in the playoffs. The only question is whether they will enter the playoffs with the seventh place in the East, or the sixth or fifth place in the East.

Because the records of the fifth, sixth, and seventh teams in the Eastern Conference are too close, whoever performed abnormally in the last three games will fall to the bottom.

The Pistons don't want to enter the playoffs with the No.7 score, because that would allow them to meet the Magic in the first round, which is a strong opponent that no one wants to meet.

However, in the penultimate game of the regular season, they will be at home against the division of kings - the Chicago Bulls.

"This is a game where both sides can play blazingly without mobilization."

Time: October 1996, 4.

Location: Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, Michigan, USA.

Background: "Please witness, a great legend begins tonight."

The feud between the Pistons and the Bulls has a long history, whether it was Isaiah Thomas or now.

Although the era when the two sides looked down on each other has passed, and the status of the Bulls and Pistons in the league is not the same, every time the two teams meet, there will always be fierce sparks.

The Bulls want to double down on the humiliation the Pistons have inflicted on them in the past, and the Pistons want the Bulls to relive their fears.

Tonight's narrator, in addition to Vinier Johnson, also has the golden pair of Marv Albert and Bill Wharton.

"This is the fourth time they have played against each other this season. The Bulls have won all the previous three games."

"While the Bulls have the best record in history, 70 wins is not the end of the season."

"Yeah, let's see what the 70-win team does tonight."

Doug Collins looked at the red bull stepping onto the field with mixed emotions. He was once the commander of this team, but unfortunately, he failed to lead this group of people to success.

The priest's son did it, but Collins didn't think he was as capable as Phil Jackson.

In his opinion, the other party is just luckier than himself.

Once he was gone, Pippen began to mature.

He believes that if the current Bulls are handed over to him, he can also lead this team to 70 wins.

Everything will pass.

Collins sighed inwardly, and looked back at his players: "You should know better than me what this game represents."

"We either end Chicago's winning streak against us, or let them continue to humiliate us," Dumars said.

The Pistons haven't won the Bulls in nearly four years.

Not counting tonight's game, the Bulls have won [-] consecutive victories against the Pistons.

For any team, the existence of such a record is a disgrace.

Outside the three-point line, Mo Mengchen hit three-pointers again and again.

He felt good tonight.

"Mo!"

"look here!"

"Dor. Mo!"

After one season, Mo Mengchen's popularity in the Pistons is not trivial.

His overall view, his charisma, his three-pointers, and his toughness of not giving in to the opponent's attack all make people see a boss who is different from the elegant and easy-going Grant Hill.

He is still very young, who knows what will happen to him in the future?

To Mo Mengchen, the cheers from the audience were not as good as the cheers from the two of them.

In the family area in the front row, Mo Mengchen saw Ephraim and Adrian.

Since the end of that lawsuit, Ephraim's career has been on the right track, and through this incident, he and Ephraim have become closer.

"Boy, when the game starts, you won't see my smiling face."

Mo Mengchen turned his head, and Jordan walked towards him.

"Shake your hand while I can still smile at you." Jordan held out his hand.

Mo Mengchen didn't ask him if he washed his hands. Anyway, it was useless to ask. This hand is destined to get dirty tonight, so just hold it. This is the friendly hand of the best player in history.

"I want 71 wins on you guys tonight."

Jordan's words had an unspeakable bloody smell, and he was serious.

"My teammates are fed up with losing to you all the time, we will win tonight." Mo Mengchen expressed his opinion forcefully.

"Hmph, let's try it!"

Jordan turned haughtily and walked back.

The live DJ introduces the players of both sides, and then the game is about to start.

Langley and Thorpe jump the ball.

This is the way Collins came up with. Anyway, Terry Mills can't beat anyone on the jump ball, so it's better to let Thorpe shoulder it.

The result was not good, Langley's height was right there, Thorpe was old, without the explosive power he had when he was young, and when his height and wingspan were not dominant, it was normal for him to jump and lose.

The Australian giant flicked hard and the ball was in Pippen's hands.

Batman is extremely fast, and he wanted to give Hill a slam when he came up. His offensive choice was very casual, stopping in the frontcourt, collecting the ball from the left three-point line and shooting a three-pointer.

"Scott's offense was decisive!"

It's a pity that this three-pointer missed. He has never been a good three-pointer.

But it doesn't matter, Jordan squeezed Houston to get the offensive rebound with one hand, and slowly dribbled the ball to the outside.

"Prevent him!"

"Michael is nothing special!"

"Your time is coming, Alan!"

The audience booed, Jordan's favorite thing to do is to disappoint the rich fans in the front row. He pulled up in front of Houston and shot a three-pointer that he was not good at, but no one dared to underestimate. .

"Shh!"

The sound of the goal was so crisp, as if it was declaring something.

"Your time is coming? Huh." Jordan humiliated Houston.

It was a wrong decision for Mo Mengchen to run straight forward. If he knew that this would make him unable to catch the ball from the beginning to the end, he would definitely not do it.

Ron Harper has forgotten the fact that he was an All-Star in the Bulls. He used his height and athleticism to play the No. [-] position in this team that wants revenge.

The first position of any team will have a headache seeing Harper, because he is clearly a second position.

Coincidentally, Mo Mengchen is also a big point guard with a height of 197 cm, but his current body is still far behind the old Harper.

To Harper's shock, Mo Mengchen's power had improved a lot.

"You seem to be more able to fight than before." Harper whispered in his ear, "But it's okay, you have to know that I have carried many people, you are nothing at all!"

He is right.

Under his restrictions, Mo Mengchen had no chance to run, and Hill had no one to respond, so he had to fight by himself.

He used the best first step to pass Pippen, but was caught up by Batman during the layup, interfered, and failed to make it.

Then came the Bulls' counterattack.

Pippen picked up the ball and rode a fast break, ending with an unstoppable one-handed high-range tomahawk dunk.
