You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 116 Best Partner

The last two games of the season, one against the Cavaliers and one against the Bucks.

Although the Cavaliers have no superstars, their strength is very average, and there is no absolute scoring point. Everyone may become the winner of the game.

This night, the shooting percentages of both sides were very low, especially Mo Mengchen, who scored a career high in the previous game.

Mo Mengchen missed all four shots from beyond the three-point line and scored 9 points only by breaking through. Such a performance could not help the team win.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pistons by 2 points with the performance of four players scoring in double figures, and continued to consolidate their playoff rankings.

In the last game of the season, the Pistons played against the Bucks at home.

Facing the Bucks with Vin Baker and Glenn Robinson, the Pistons don't plan to end the regular season in defeat.

Alan Houston broke out that night, hit consecutive shots, scored 38 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, led the team to defend the home court, and advanced to the playoffs with a record of 48 wins.

Unfortunately, although the Pistons tried their best to avoid facing the Magic in the playoffs, they still failed to escape this fate.

The Knicks, Eagles, and Pistons, which are fifth, sixth, and seventh in the Eastern Conference, have all achieved 48 wins. According to the relationship between wins and losses, the Pistons rank seventh in the Eastern Conference and will face the second-ranked Magic in the Eastern Conference in the first round.

Orlando Arena

The Magic, which won 60 wins, has home court advantage against teams other than the Bulls in the East. Their two cores are young, and the team is strong and strong. They must be talented and have immediate combat power. At first glance, they are the future of the league.

Mo Mengchen entered the arena, and the Orlando fans booed them the most.

Then, O'Neill, Hardaway and Nick Anderson stepped forward.

Before the game starts, the top cards of both sides should greet each other.

The Pistons should have Hill, Houston, and Dumars step forward, but now, the team's third player has become Mo Mengchen.

Both tall guards, Hardaway and Mo Mengchen are completely different.

He doesn't have as many shackles as Mo Mengchen. From the current point of view, he is the Jordan of Magic.

"Welcome to Orlando, we will win tonight." Hardaway said slowly.

Mo Mengchen gently held his hand, then turned and walked away.

"He's so arrogant," Anderson said.

O'Neill snorted, "It's okay, he should know how to be polite when I make a few angry dunks in their restricted area."

"This is our home court, be careful not to break the basket." Hardaway reminded.

O'Neal likes to play with Hardaway, also likes that Hardaway always finds him to pass the ball on the court, and prefers his comfortable jokes.

It's just that he hates the management's emphasis on Hardaway.

But at this moment, these things are not as important as the game.

"Welcome to tonight's game, I'm Ron Turing, Hubie, let's say hello to everyone."

Turin looked skillfully at the venerable old Brown.

Old Brown smiled lightly: "Hi everyone, I am very happy to explain this game."

"We all know that Detroit is the dark horse that has emerged this year. They have Grant Hill, Alan Houston, and Dor. Mo, Hubie, in your opinion, the outcome of this series Geometry?" asked Turin.

Speaking of this, Old Brown did not have any hesitation. He gave an answer that no one was surprised by: "Detroit has a bright future, but this series will play a maximum of four games, and Orlando will easily win."

Doug Collins looked excited. The Pistons hadn't played in the playoffs for two seasons. As soon as he came up, he played two roles and led the team directly to the playoffs. Doesn't it just mean that his coaching ability is outstanding?
It's just that he still has a few big goals to achieve.

When he first proposed a part-time head coach to the team, he boasted that he would lead the team to achieve a major breakthrough within three years.

So what is a major breakthrough?
No one can say clearly about this standard, but it is definitely not the first round of leading the team.

The starters from both sides played.

Before the jump ball, an imaginative song was played on the spot.

It may not be appropriate to say this, but Mo Mengchen really thinks that the song played by the Magic team's live DJ is very similar to the melodious opening song of Tokyo Not Hot.

There is no suspense, if one day Terry Mills beats O'Neal with a jump ball, Mo Mengchen will definitely climb to the fifth floor and jump down.

Because he must be dreaming, he wants to wake up immediately, this dream is too scary.

With a flick of O'Neal's arm, the ball landed in Hardaway's hands.

I am used to the fact that my opponents are always shorter than me, but when I suddenly met a defender who was taller than me, Mo Mengchen was not used to it.

Penny straightened up and looked straight, but his heavy buttocks pushed Mo Mengchen away continuously.

The Magic had played against the Pistons three times in the regular season, and they won all of them, and these three games were all in the early stage of the regular season. At that time, Mo Mengchen's strength was terrible, and Penny's ass was almost unstoppable on him.

But now, not only was Mo Mengchen not pushed away, but he dealt with it calmly.

This surprised Penny—this guy's strength has improved so much?No, his figure doesn't seem to have changed.

what's the situation?
The doubts in my heart are all doubts. This one of the most well-known Jordan successors is now sitting on the left side of the three-point line. O'Neal sits and moves Mills like a giant wild boar.

Penny lobped the ball, and O'Neal turned around and unloaded to attack the basket for a dunk.

2 is better than 0
It was too late to double-team, and the offense ended like this.

"No suspense, Detroit's restricted area can't stop Shaq!" Old Brown said.

Mo Mengchen wanted to transfer the Sharks out, but unfortunately, the Magic had already arranged for this. As long as Mills pulled out, the person who followed was not O'Neal, but Jordan's former right-hand man Horace Grant.

For the Bulls, he is equivalent to Rodman's second three-peat.

Seeing that O'Neill could not be pulled out, the seasoned Thorpe took the initiative to stand up against O'Neill's iron body and shouted: "Give me the ball!"

"Old guy, are you courting death?" O'Neill said in a low voice.

His position is not firm, the size difference between the two is too big, but he still wants to occupy the front position, Mo Mengchen can see his determination.

So, he passed the ball.

No matter whether you enter or not, the most important thing is to consume O'Neill, to confront him head-on, not to avoid blindly.

When Thorpe received the ball, O'Neal was furious.

He admits he lost to Olajuwon, but what is Thorpe?He's just a pony who follows Dameng, dare to challenge him?
The angry O'Neill stepped up his defensive action. What Thorpe wanted was for him to increase his action, turn around and hook the basket, causing O'Neal's foul.

"Does this goal remind you of that game in two years?" Thorpe asked in a low voice.

He's always been that player, quietly.

If there is a superstar like Olajuwon in the team, he will be diligent and not show his edge. Once the team needs him to stand up and support the game, he can do it.

Cone in the bag is undoubtedly the best interpretation of him.

Thorpe's approach inspired his teammates, but it also angered the most dangerous monster on the field.

O'Neal's teammates can feel his anger. Now no one will fight him for the ball, and their ball will only pass to one person.

O'Neal frantically asked for his position under the basket. Although such a position can reflect his fierceness, it also makes it more difficult for Penny to pass the ball.

Mo Mengchen raised one hand and gestured to his teammates with the other - ambush him!

Pretending to pull away, ambush secretly.

This is the routine defense of the Pistons, because their weak inside line coincides with the heyday of centers, and they often encounter centers who can blow up the penalty area. Therefore, cutting off the opponent's internal and external connections is the primary homework.

Their opponents get ambushed several times a night because they want to play in the post so badly.

Hardaway thought everyone was cleared, so he hung the ball out with confidence. Hill, who ran out of nowhere, snatched the ball before it fell into O'Neal's hands.

"Counterattack!"

The frontcourt played 2 to 1, Mo Mengchen took off after receiving the ball to attract the defense, scored Hill again in the air, and Devil Mountain dunked and scored.

"It seems that the two teams are fighting." Turin laughed.

Old Brown has made it clear that he is on the Magic team from the beginning, and he will not change easily at this moment, even if the Pistons have shown fighting spirit and desire to win.

Magic's coach Brian Hill observed the game quietly. He had no talent. Like many novice coaches, he just happened to meet the team's selection of two wizards, O'Neal and Hardaway, so he led the team to score half a game for two consecutive years. finals, finals.

His resume is extremely beautiful, but his conservative tactics and gentle leadership have also been criticized.

Some people have questioned: If there are no sharks and pennies, he will definitely bring magic into the abyss.

Without a tactical system and with an approachable personality, such a coach can usually have a good relationship with superstars.If a coach wants to survive in the NBA, the most important thing is not talent, but knowing how to be a good licking dog. From this point of view, Old Hill has done a good job.

Now the team is acting a little impetuous, and he didn't say anything.

In his view, this is reasonable.

The two cores of the Magic are young people in their early 20s. It is inevitable to be impetuous, but as long as they are allowed to play freely, the Pistons cannot resist.

At this moment, O'Neal made a peripheral pick-and-roll, and Hardaway cut in with the ball like a sharp knife, with wings sprouting from his back and flying high in the sky, and slammed a dunk over Thorpe's head that disgraced him.

"What can they do? What can they do with such talent? They can't do anything!" exclaimed Old Brown.

When O'Neal returned to defense, he hugged Hardaway's neck fiercely. He really liked Penny. If the management hadn't been poisoned by "Jordan's successor" and valued Penny more than him, they could have become the ultimate team. Good partner.
