You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1071

The 76ers and the Pacers, no matter who they reach the conference finals, the fans don't expect much from them.

It's not that they are not strong, but that these two teams have lost to the Pistons too many times.

When they first formed an army, many people were optimistic about them overthrowing the Pistons dynasty.

As a result, the Pistons dynasty remained immobile.

Instead of expecting them, expect the West.

Timberwolves and Lakers meet in the Western Conference Finals.

O'Neal vs. Garnett;
James vs Kobe;

23 vs 24;

Before this round of the century war begins, we have to wait for the two teams in the east to end the battle.

The Pacers and the 76ers played in Game 76, and the Indiana had a chance to end the battle. Unfortunately, they were a little short in the end and were defeated by the [-]ers.

In the tiebreaker, Duncan and Iverson proved the difference between ordinary superstars and superstars.

Jonathan Bender did not perform well. This superstar, who was in his prime, lost a good game under the combination of two superstars inside and outside the 76ers.

The 76ers played an epic series, defeated the Pacers again, and reached the conference finals for the fourth time in six years, against the Pistons.

Some people regard the frequent matchups between the Pistons and the 76ers as the reason for the decline in ratings, because these two teams fight back and forth, and the Pistons win every time.

Even if the players are not tired of crooked, the audience is also tired of crooked.

Therefore, the ratings of the Eastern Conference Finals are often not as good as those of the Western Conference Finals.

The Pistons' record against the Eastern Conference teams is too dazzling. Basically every strong Eastern team has been abused by them all the way. No matter how well they played before, they will definitely show their true colors in front of the Pistons.

As for the West, the Lakers and Timberwolves are a brand new combination.

OK's grievances, James and Kobe's gimmicks, this is a duel that no one can afford to lose.

The Western Conference finals started first.

The KK combination has a fierce offensive, they are all at their peak, and the Timberwolves have a lot of problems.Their lineup is better than the Lakers, but O'Neal and James, one old and one young, are not very compatible.

The first game was full of flames, but there was no suspense.

The KK combination held the game and won it easily.

At the end of the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers led 1-0.

"Maybe we can start to look forward to the sixth Finals matchup between the Pistons and the Lakers in history."

At the end of the game, the commentator at the scene said so.

Unexpectedly, in the East, the Pistons also had an accident in the 76ers game.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, Duncan and Iverson showed determination and fighting spirit, relying on talent, courage, and internal cooperation, they beat the Pistons to the ground.

The matchup between the Pistons and the 76ers is similar to the Timberwolves vs. the Lakers.

One side has lineup advantages and personnel advantages, while the other side is definitely more talented.Especially after Hill was reimbursed for the season, the ratio of superstars on both sides became 2:1.

The outside world originally hoped that Anthony and Curry would make up for it. In the first game, neither of them played well.

This is the first time for them to participate in the division finals as a core player. The expectations of the fans, the pressure on the scene, and high-level opponents have created a narrow defeat where Mo Mengchen scored 41 points but was unable to recover.

"How about this, let's lower our expectations."

"If Carmelo Anthony can reach Alan Houston's level; if Eddie Curry can reach my level, let's stop complaining." Lambiel said boldly.

In fact, Anthony's average of 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists this season has surpassed any season in Houston.

Houston only averaged 20 points per game in one season with the Pistons, and his rebounds and assists are completely incomparable.

And one is an off-ball shooter, the other is the core of the system, with the same data, but completely different contributions and pressures.

Curry is even more ridiculous.

This season, Curry averaged 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2.5 blocks per game. Lambiel has not come close to the data in any season.

Lambiel criticized Curry so harshly because in the history of the Pistons' war with the 76ers, Curry was always at a disadvantage against Duncan.

Their poor performance tonight brought them an astonishing amount of negative public opinion, and under normal circumstances, Mo Mengchen would add fuel to the fire.

However, he said at the press conference: "Eddie and Melo are both young, they shouldn't have to bear this pressure, but who told them to be a member of the Pistons? This is their inescapable mission. It's their fate, and that's the pressure every Pistons player should be under."

"I believe they can learn from their shame and be brave."

That night, when Mo Mengchen returned to the locker room, no one scolded him, and the locker room was very quiet.

According to rumors, Anthony deliberately rushed to the training hall to practice shooting overnight because his touch in the game was a mess.

"Mo, I found that you can not only act as a strict father, but also a kind father." Hill said to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen said to him indifferently: "Everyone is a good person, but they are often in a bad mood, especially me."

That's it for tonight.

The performance of the 76ers has ignited hope from the outside world. It seems that they are not without chance.

The basketball world turned its attention to the West.

The second game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers has an amazing turning point tonight.

James Posey's provocations and criminals against Garnett, and Bowen's restrictions on Kobe.

Posey and O'Neill are good friends, and their sharp mouth can always lick Mr. Shark so much that he forgets who he is; needless to say, it is a blessing that Kobe was able to escape unscathed under his repeated harassment tonight. pieces.

The Timberwolves disrupted KK's rhythm in a despicable but conventional way, thereby controlling the game and dominating the audience.

1 is better than 1
Speaking of this game, Garnett said: "I don't mind a boxing match. As long as the referee allows it, I can beat James Posey's brains out the night after tomorrow!"

Garnett was destined to be fined for those remarks.

The series between the Timberwolves and the Lakers, as expected by the outside world, has reached a fever pitch. The league intends to favor it. OK's old enmity, the media will add fuel and jealousy. There are so many topics, like the Pistons and the Lakers at the beginning of the century. duel.

O'Neill, as the big brother, of course has to speak for Posey: "The city of Los Angeles is like the media, full of hypocrites, Kevin Garnett is just a tough guy on the surface, I bet he dare not do anything! "

The talk before the game was so loud that the fans went crazy for it.

Then, the eyes of the outside world focused on the East, and they hoped to see the 76ers make great strides forward.

If they can win two consecutive away games, overthrowing the Pistons dynasty is no longer a slogan, but a fact that is about to happen.

That night, the 76ers also played the game with this determination.

It's just that the Pistons made the change first.

First, the Pistons try to pack as many people as possible around the rim.Since the 76ers' starting lineup has only Iverson on the off-ball side, and the other Pistons players try to recover the basket, they can still use the numerical advantage to relieve the pressure on Curry.

The excellent performance of Mo Mengchen and Anthony on the defensive end made it difficult for Duncan, who played bravely in the first game in the Eastern Conference, to beat Curry as he wished.

In the first half, Iverson and Duncan tried some pick-and-rolls that pursued details, but none of them achieved very good results.In the second half, the Pistons adopted a strategy of not actively changing their formation more frequently: Curry guarded the basket, and Mo Mengchen tried his best to defend Iverson.

With the help of his teammates on the defensive end, Curry began to counterattack Duncan effectively.

Also contributing on the defensive end, Anthony naturally found a rhythm on the offensive end, leading the offense with defense, which is a good offensive habit.

When the Shuang Tanhua was on, Mo Mengchen retreated directly to the second line. It wasn't that he couldn't take advantage of the good situation to rack up statistics, but these two young people needed to rely on such a game to gain confidence.

Compared with superstars like Duncan and Iverson, what they lack is not their strength, but their experience in assessing the situation and their determination to move forward.

In the end, the Pistons beat the 27ers by 76 points and kept their home court.

Curry and Anthony scored 30+ points one after another, while Mo Mengchen scored a triple-double of 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in defense, conduction, and open shots.

"Everyone apologize to Eddie!" Lambiel, a guy who has no position, is best at playing with the wind, "He is Bob Lanier II!"

Is there anyone more unprincipled than him?Mo Mengchen didn't know.

1 to 1, the series returned to the starting point.

The outside world began to praise the double-players, and Mo Mengchen returned to the original, picking and choosing them, but he was dissatisfied anyway: "When Eddie can fight against TD on his own, he will truly grow; if Melo can play in offense and defense With more commitment on both ends, this game can be played more easily tonight."

The media finally discovered that Mo Mengchen's way of treating Shuang Tanhua changed with the changing situation.

If they play badly and the outside world ridicules them, he will stand up to speak for them and share the pressure as much as possible; if they play a good game and the outside world wants to blow them up, he will cool down and pour cold water on them.

"An excellent leader will always have this kind of puzzling behavior. We don't know when Dor.Mo will be satisfied with Eddie and Mello. What we can see is that these two young people are in his The spurs are getting better and better, let us firmly believe that they are indeed the future of the Pistons."

After the first two games of the Eastern and Western conference finals, the teams with home court advantage lost their advantage.

The situation in the West is stalemate, and stories are frequent; the situation in the East is neither unexpected nor unexpected, because the 76ers already have the strength to drag the Pistons into a tough battle, but not many people believe that they can pull the Pistons off the horse.

Even, no one believes that the Pistons will completely lose in the playoffs.

Can any team beat them four times in a row?
A team like that doesn't exist.

Since 1999, no team can completely beat them in the playoffs.

The performance of the 76ers this year has made people see hope, and it is only a little bit of hope.
