You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 121 No chance of winning?

hotel room.

Mo Mengchen asked the team's statistician Douglas Sid overnight to ask for tonight's game video.

At this point, NBA teams have no video analysts, and even few statisticians.

The Pistons set up statisticians can be regarded as a pioneering work. Their job is to take the video home after each game for research, and make detailed statistics to judge the player's state.

This should be the earliest video analyst, because in addition to statistical data, they also need to make inferences.

The arrival of Mo Mengchen did not surprise Sid at all. During the regular season, if he had to play consecutive away games, he would come to ask for a videotape before heading to the next away game.

He will study it carefully and share his analysis with Sid.

To Sid's surprise, Mo Mengchen was even more familiar with data than he was, and he even proposed some concepts that he had never heard of before.

victory value;
true win value;
defensive factor;

offensive factor;

Sid was overwhelmed by the mist, and then Mo Mengchen gave him the formula of these data.

After reading it, Sid was extremely shocked. What troubled him the most was that with his mathematical level, these formulas could only be used for admiration, but could not be put into practice.

Since then, Mo Mengchen has almost become the team's second statistician.

He often came to Sid to ask for a video, and by the way shared his statistics with Sid.Sid is naturally happy to have someone to do the work for him.

"There is no excuse for our loss tonight, what are you looking for?" Sid asked Mo Mengchen, handing the video.

Mo Mengchen said: "Their weakness."

"Weakness? Isn't Penny's slack in handling the pick-and-roll a weakness?"

"Just one of them."

"By the way, is there any video of the Bulls playing against the Pacers, Knicks, or Heat? Any one is fine, and the one against the Magic is the best." Mo Mengchen said.

Sid was stopped by this question. Normally, he would not bring so many videotapes with him in away games. He opened his luggage and looked at it.

"I didn't expect it to exist."

Sid pulled out a video of the Bulls-Knicks game.

"Thank you." Mo Mengchen said, "Is it this season?"

"Yes, this is the game in March. It's out of print. There is no video tape of this game on the market anymore. Don't lose it." Baby Sid said.

Seeing his worried look, Mo Mengchen felt that he was a destroyer in his eyes.

How could he have lost the tape?
"Do not worry."

"What do you want this tape for?"

"study."

After finishing speaking, Mo Mengchen left the room.

The reason for watching the Bulls and Knicks game tape is simple, just to find out how to deal with the Magic.

He couldn't count on Doug Collins, as long as he opened the tactical manual of the Pistons, Collins didn't have his own system at all. His tactics were one hammer to the east and one hammer to the west. Come up with a tactic that looks better.

Because there is no mature system, most of these tactics are ineffective, so his team always falls into single battles.

It is unrealistic to expect Collins to figure out a way to deal with the Magic double stars. He has to rely on himself, because if he doesn't have a way to deal with these two people, this game will not be played at all.

Back in his room, Mo Mengchen didn't watch the video of tonight's game. He directly played the game between the Bulls and the Knicks.

He keeps fast-forwarding to the Knicks' offensive possessions.

Although the Bulls have a high-quality meat shield like Longley and a defensive madman like Rodman, these two alone are not enough to resist these behemoths in this wild era.

Jordan, Pippen, and Harper, the three tall perimeter defenders, took turns to flank each other, which is the key for them to stop the giant teams.

Coincidentally, the piston also has the same configuration.

Mo Mengchen, Houston, and Hill have an average height of 2 meters. It's a pity that their defenses are very different. Although they have the advantage of perimeter height against most teams, their defensive effect is extremely poor.

Especially Mo Mengchen and Houston, these two can be said to be two pitfalls on the outside of the Pistons, and they need the help of the whole team to remedy.

Houston can sometimes resist breakthrough opponents. Mo Mengchen has just reached the level where he can't suffer from confrontation, and his lateral movement speed has risen to 70. Although his progress is not small, his defensive slide still needs to be practiced hard.

Entering the playoffs, the perimeter of each team is not vegetarian. It is unrealistic to expect to play encounters like the regular season, relying on the opponent not understanding themselves.

In this game, Mo Mengchen only watched half of the video and turned off the video.

It's useless at all, the Bulls' rotation frequency is too high, and the three old balls also have considerable defensive capabilities. This kind of defense can't be learned just by watching the video.

If the Pistons learn this defense rashly, not only will it not be effective, but they will be defeated by the Magic with passes before the double-team is formed.

Mo Mengchen wanted to watch the video of tonight's game, but just as he took out the tape and was about to replace it with another, his stomach growled.

"If you delay anything, you can't delay your stomach."

Mo Mengchen remembered that he had brought a few goose eggs, and he just made some. Well, spicy money eggs, not healthy, but delicious, and some rice to supplement some carbohydrates.

Mo Mengchen opened the backpack, there were six goose eggs inside, and everything was complete.

He cooked some rice first, and then started to work.

Some people are dog-nosed. If you don’t want to eat, he won’t come. Once you feel like eating, he will arrive in seconds. This kind of people are Hill and Dumas.

When Mo Mengchen asked them why they came, their answers shocked the former.

"We're hungry, do you have anything to eat here?"

"How do you know I'm preparing supper?"

Hearing this, the two of them didn't care about being polite, they pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Mo Mengchen was preparing, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Hill said with a smile: "It seems that we are lucky today."

"The three of us don't know if we have enough to eat?" Dumas hasn't given up treatment like Hill did.

Mo Mengchen looked at the rice: "Do you eat rice?"

"You can eat a little."

“It would be better if it had noodles.”

"No noodles." Mo Mengchen said, "Only rice."

"Then make do with it."

The Cengfan Party who came uninvited actually answered so reluctantly, Mo Mengchen really wanted to throw the knife at him, it would be best if he could stab him to death.

"Mo, I heard from Grant that your cooking skills are the best in Detroit." Dumas laughed.

Mo Mengchen took out the knife, put down the pepper, and said casually, "Although Grant looks like a good man, don't believe what he says."

"How can you say that? I'm praising you!"

"Praise is wrong, idiot!"

idiot?

Hill was annoyed: "Where am I an idiot?"

"I'm the best chef in the world, not the best chef in Detroit. People in Detroit can cook? Are you insulting me?" Mo Mengchen said as he cut the peppers, which were cut like Like tiny donuts, round and round.

Then, cut the onion, ginger and garlic into powder.

After observing, Hill found out: "You are so good with the sword. In the next game, you will go directly to the field with the sword and Shaquille O'Neal will win it."

"Then I was sentenced, and you advanced to the semi-finals with tears in your eyes?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.

Hill laughed: "I will not cry, I will bury the pain in my heart and advance with a smile on my face."

Mo Mengchen said with a light smile, "Grant, you are a beast!"

Dumas was much more stable. He carefully observed the layout of the room. There was nothing special, but there were two video tapes on the sofa and a table of tactical charts.

Some of the charts above are team tactics and some are not.

"Mo, you're more of a coach than Doug," Dumas said.

Mo Mengchen had no intention of complaining about Collins' coaching ability in front of them, so he ignored his words, took out all the goose eggs, and boiled them in water.

"Are you studying the Magic?"

"Ah."

"What did you find?"

"My biggest discovery is that it is very difficult for us to compete with them." Mo Mengchen said, "I can't even imagine how we can defeat them."

Hill said: "Didn't we discover Penny's weakness? Isn't it over if we grab his weakness?"

"Their head coach is not a dead man, he will not let us keep playing with him, and there is no guarantee that he will not improve this weakness in the series, not to mention, this is not the NCAA, even if we win the next game, we will not be able to advance. "

"Young teams definitely have weaknesses," Dumars said.

"Their weakness is that they are too perfect, and the lineup is impeccable."

Mo Mengchen said something Dumas couldn't understand.

"Are you sure you're talking about weakness?"

"Yes, these advantages mean that they lack tacit understanding, are reckless and impulsive, and have no execution ability at critical moments, and their core players are very young, which shows that they are very likely to be unable to withstand the pressure at critical moments and lead to collapse. It proves it."

Listening to Mo Mengchen detailing the shortcomings of the Magic like a coach, Dumas was not surprised. He was surprised that this guy had already mentioned so many shortcomings of the Magic, but he still felt that they had no chance of winning.

Is it really impossible to win?

thought Dumas.

Mo Mengchen fished out the goose egg and looked up at Hill; "Can you always help me?"

"You don't think I'm dirty?" Hill asked.

"Yes, please wash your hands before you help me." Mo Mengchen said, "Remember, wash your hands more than five times, and use the six-step hand washing method I taught you."

Hill said: "Isn't there a seven-step hand washing method?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, Devil Mountain regretted it.

Damn, doesn't this give this guy a chance to mock himself?
really,

Mo Mengchen said: "With your IQ, it is very difficult for me to let you learn the seven-step hand washing method."

For a top student who graduated from Duke, such insults were unbearable, so Hill angrily went to the bathroom and washed his hands ten times. After he finished washing, Mo Mengchen had already peeled the goose eggs.
