You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1087 That's All I Can Do

At the end of the first half, the Timberwolves maintained their lead.

65 is better than 52
In the first half of the tiebreaker, the Pistons trailed the Timberwolves by 13 points.

Mo Mengchen scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the half. Such mediocre statistics are quite rare for him.

In fact, Frases, Hill and others who knew the inside story were surprised when they saw his data.

How could he get 5+5+4 in such a fierce finals with only one leg?This is the tiebreaker of the finals!

"Mo, what do you think you need to do to make up the gap in the first half?"

"I do not know."

After finishing speaking, Mo Mengchen walked into the player tunnel.

When he passed the intersection of the player channel, the fans in the front row guarding the corridors on both sides of the channel demonstrated loudly to him.

"Dor.Mo, you are finished!"

"The reign of the Pistons will be ended by us, you better accept this result!"

"LBJ is ten times stronger than you, it's time to hand over the scepter!"

The smug fans thought that this would make Dor.Mo angry.

In the end, Mo Mengchen just smiled coldly.

Obviously, he can't be the savior tonight, he can't chop and pluck with one foot like Thomas, and paying homage to his predecessors is not his goal.

There is no way for him to "return" like Willis Reed, because the most suitable time for creating dramatic and epic moments has passed, and everyone in the audience has accepted the fact that he played with injuries, and no one will be shocked by it.

The positive energy he can bring to the team is very limited.

It's really a pity that he can't be like the protagonists in other inspirational stories, who are seriously injured and still perform well.

Mo Mengchen entered the locker room, someone wanted to ask about his injury, but no one asked because his face was not very good-looking.

Frauses arranged the second half of the game. He didn't seem to worry about the second half. He didn't summarize the gains and losses of the first half at all, and made plans step by step.

"Guys, there's only half a ball left in the season."

"We are only one victory away from surpassing greatness and equaling the myth of historical legend."

"Back then, no one believed that we could get here. When we made this decision—beyond our predecessors and touch eternity, we were like jumping into the endless sea!" Frauses said passionately, "The flow is endless. The sea water will take us to places we could never have dreamed of."

"Get ready to give it a go!"

Everyone encouraged each other and rushed out of the locker room excitedly.

Curry also stood up, and he and Mo Mengchen were the last to walk out of the locker room.

"Eddie." Mo Mengchen called him.

Curry asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

I really hope it can be calm and peaceful.

"You played against Mr. Shark, as if he was a bully who bullied you since childhood." Mo Mengchen said, "I almost forgot that you once fought him on the court."

Curry didn't know how to answer. Sharks had always been the goal he was trying to surpass, but when the opportunity to surpass the opponent came to him, he couldn't make up his mind.

"So, I want to ask, who are you?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Curry stupidly replied: "I'm Eddie Curry."

"Who is Eddie Curry?" Mo Mengchen asked before walking in front of Curry.

Who is Eddie Curry?A talented high school student.

Is that all?of course not.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the seasoned Payton pressed Mo Mengchen in the frontcourt. He stepped forward to press unexpectedly, and actually grabbed the ball, completing a counterattack layup after a steal.

67 is better than 52
Teammates wanted to help, but Mo Mengchen refused.

"You can't beat them anymore, why don't you let the young people help?" Peyton sneered, "Then I will let you end the curtain in embarrassment!"

He was grinning, and Mo Mengchen saw the gold tooth in his mouth, which was the meeting gift he gave Peyton back then.

Anthony ran over to serve, and if Mo Mengchen couldn't handle it, he would respond at any time.

From the moment Mo Mengchen received the ball, Payton began to implement a tight high-pressure defense.At this time, Mo Mengchen not only had to deal with the external pressure from Payton, but also had to restrain the internal pressure from his right foot. The two pressures rolled towards him together. If he made another mistake, Payton could quickly complete the counterattack at such a short distance.

If you can't solve the problem, you will be the problem.

Mo Mengchen said this to himself for the second time. Then, he looked at Payton coldly, endured severe pain and lowered his center of gravity, started to accelerate, shredded the defense of the glove amazingly, dribbled across the half court, and passed to follow up Anthony, helping him score a jumper.

54 is better than 67
Curry seemed to be still immersed in Mo Mengchen's problem, facing up to O'Neal, who was easily knocked open by the shark and scored.

69 is better than 54
The ball came to Anthony, who was the second offensive player after the Pistons Mo Mengchen.

With Mo Mengchen injured, he naturally became the number one attacker.

Anthony slapped the ball into his crotch, moved in front of his body, slapped hard with his left hand, and made a tentative starting step that shook James in front of him.

He just needs this little space.

Anthony pulls up the shot and hits it.

56 is better than 69
James turned his head and jumped out of Anthony, and was interfered by Curry's help defense during the layup.

Curry is also benevolent. His help defense made James miss the must-go goal, and at the same time gave up the rebound to O'Neal.

The Sharks grabbed the offensive rebound and slammed under the basket.

71 is better than 56
Payton continued to double-team the frontcourt, but Mo Mengchen was not afraid of his confrontation at all, and rushed all the way to the frontcourt.

The pain from his right foot made Mo Mengchen flushed, but in the eyes of the audience, he looked like he was out of breath. Only Peyton knew how much pressure his defense had put on the opponent.

Mo Mengchen's way of killing and not passing the ball was beyond his expectation.

Curry still looked dazed, Mo Mengchen would not give him time to be dazed, and moved his fingers, forcing him to straighten up and take a seat.

Curry could only raise his hand and watch the ball pass.

It is impossible for O'Neal behind him to let him score easily. Forcing young people to go to the battlefield is the best way to eliminate confusion.

The confusion in Curry's heart gradually disappeared, because he had to deal with the ball in his hand before he could think about other things, otherwise, he would become a burden on the court.

Even Mo Mengchen, who has physical problems, is like this, how can he lag behind?

Curry first turned back, then turned forward, tossed the ball to shake the shark, and caught the time difference to hit the board and score.

"Eddie Curry's feet are so beautiful!"

"While his selection to the All-NBA Team is highly controversial, there really isn't a better center in the league, including Shaq."

In order to let Curry devote himself to the game, Mo Mengchen repeatedly fed him the ball, even if his scoring efficiency was not high.

The point where the scoring efficiency is not high is not a good choice for the Pistons who are eager to chase points.

But the ball is in Mo Mengchen's hands, and everyone else has to obey what he wants to do.

The Pistons could not chase points efficiently, and the Timberwolves were also dragged into a difficult hand-to-hand battle, with fierce confrontation between the two sides.

In the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, James made a dunk into the basket, pulling the point difference to 15 points.

In the frontcourt, Mo Mengchen broke the pick-and-roll and made a pass to Curry.

In this quarter alone, Curry backed O'Neal eight times, but only made three hits. Fortunately, the Pistons were active in rushing for offensive rebounds, and the others retreated quickly, otherwise the point difference would have been more than 15 points.

Curry skillfully used his pace and strength, and the Timberwolves were double-teamed by the plunge, because O'Neal couldn't afford to fight like this. He is getting older and his physical strength is not as good as before.

If the fight with Curry continues like this, it must be the older shark who will be consumed in the end.

Payton gave up Mo Mengchen to double-team, and Curry passed the ball, giving Mo Mengchen a big shooting opportunity.

Mo Mengchen shot for the fourth time tonight.

"Shh!"

This is his 10th personal point.

Counting this shot, all four shots were hit.

One minute before the end of the third quarter, Payton knocked down Mo Mengchen hard.This was a normal collision, the referee didn't say anything else, Mo Mengchen sat on the ground, watched the glove enter the basket, was followed by Gerrard and blocked, the rebound was caught by O'Neal, and the basket started again.

The point difference becomes 14 points.

Mo Mengchen couldn't see the frustration on his teammates' faces, and Curry also devoted himself to the game, with less than 1 minute left in the third quarter.

"So be it."

That's all I can do.
