You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 166 Running and Bombing?Triangle offense?Old Celtic?
black and white match

The game has reached the last goal, and the black team represented by Mo Mengchen has a chance to kill the white team led by Hill.

Mo Mengchen and Hill each lead a team, which is almost the unspoken rule of the match.

Although Mo Mengchen's personal ability is far behind Hill's, the duel has always been a win or lose.The team led by Hill always likes to use his personal ability to solve problems, while Mo Mengchen is just the opposite.

Collins didn't like Hill's game, nor Mo Mengchen's game, because neither of them played their own tactics.

Matt Jones has been chanting: "Mo is undoubtedly the best axis of the triangle offense, he can see anyone's opportunity at the top of the arc, he is the acute angle of the triangle!"

Collins didn't listen to his words. He has played four games so far, and the Pistons have a record of two wins and two losses.

In yesterday's game against the Trail Blazers, they were tortured by the opponent's striker group and were helpless, and finally lost miserably.

The depth of their lineup has never been reflected. Compared with last season, there is one more player who plays Barkley, that's all.

The depth of the lineup is not reflected, and there are more negative comments about Collins.

There is only one way to make these voices disappear, and that is to win.

If you can't win, there will be more and more voices like this, and then the high-level leaders will be alarmed, and it will be difficult for Collins to end.

He is now seriously considering changing the team system.

He wants to change the system, but he doesn't want the team to play the triangle offense, because that is the tactic he once abandoned. The Bulls re-played this tactic after he left office and succeeded. This is a shame in his life.

Playing the triangle means acknowledging past failures, and he never will.

"Doug, we need a change."

Collins looked, the person who said this was offensive assistant coach Alvin Gentry.

"How to change?" Collins knew something about Gentry.

This person learned from Larry Brown and was the head coach of the Heat for a period of time before. He has a wealth of experience. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't recruit people.

"We have the best depth in the league and one of the best generals in the league. We shouldn't be playing such a rigid game."

Collins frowned at Gentry's words.

"You also want to play the triangle offense?" Collins looked cold.

"No, we have better options," Gentry said, "Mo is one of the best generals in the league. Not even one, in my eyes, and we have Grant Hill, Charles Barkley , Alan Houston, we can play a more unrestrained offense."

Collins wasn't one to treasure the slightest dissent, and he wanted to see what Gentry's more aggressive offense was.

On the court, Mo Mengchen missed a three-pointer, Hill counterattacked, and they won.

Mo Mengchen, who lost the game, didn't say anything, took off his match clothes, and sat on the sidelines to rest.

Gentry walked among them, called a few names, and prepared to play another match.

A bunch of people are eager to try. Most of the participants in the match just now were the main players and the main players in rotation. Some of the third-team substitutes and marginal players had no chance to play. Now they finally have a chance to show themselves in front of the head coach.

Compared with the slashing and picking in garbage time, the performance in this situation is more memorable.

Mo Mengchen knew something about Gentry. In the early years, he followed Brown and was at the same time as Popovich. He worked as an assistant coach in many teams. Later, when he was an assistant coach in the Suns and Warriors, he became famous all over the world and tied with Mike Malone. These two can be said to be the best templates for offensive assistants and defensive assistants.

He called on another assistant coach, Collins' confidant Zina McClane, to play a confrontation match together, and many people watched the past.

"What is this for?" Houston was puzzled.

Among the players of these two teams, the biggest player is Dumars, and the others are rotations and substitutes. Many players have just played a confrontation match, and they will continue to play before they have time to catch their breath.

"Who knows." Hill didn't know what they wanted to do.

Mo Mengchen did see some problems.

Collins was standing on the sidelines. If this confrontation was irrelevant, he shouldn't be so concerned. After all, there was not even a main player in this group. The advantages of the thickness of the Pistons lineup cannot be brought into play.

Runs, screens, pick and rolls, quick offense.

Compared to the fiery attack, their defense was very casual, and Mo Mengchen thought of running and bombing.

Even running and bombing did not ignore defense so much, it was an offense that completely ignored defense.

"It's not okay to fight like this." Frauses whispered.

Mo Mengchen heard his words: "Why not?"

"Do you think the system is right for you?" Frauses asked.

Of course not.

What Mo Mengchen said was: "How will you know if you don't try?"

Frouseth laughed: "Some food that looks bad and smells bad, would you put it in your mouth and try it?"

will not.

It seems that Frauses has a lot of opinions on Gentry's offensive system, but Mo Mengchen wants to know what system he advocates: "Do you have a better way?"

"The Celtics of ten years ago should be a good reference." Frauses said.

Mo Mengchen was startled, this was something he had never thought of.

What was the Celtics like ten years ago?
A hard-working guard who plays defense first, makes the occasional rush duty, and makes most of his offense come from cuts and catch-and-shoots: Dennis Johnson.

The 80s is second only to Olajuwon's low-post maniac: McHale.

Hard-working blue-collar coolie: Robert Parrish.

He averaged 24+10+6 per game in his career, but it can't show how comprehensive he is at the core: Larry Bird.

And, the depth of the lineup is far stronger than that of the Pistons.

Mo Mengchen had to make some comparisons, the comparison between him and the big guy Dennis Johnson-his defense will definitely be blown out by the opponent, his shooting is better, and his organizational skills are stronger.

Barkley can match McHale's lethality in the low post, at least this season, but at the same time, the former has better distribution awareness and passing skills.

The Pistons currently don't have a blue-collar star at the level of the Chiefs, but they have an inside thickness that other teams can't match.

And finally Bird -- Hill is currently only better than Bird in terms of athleticism.

Last season, he averaged 20+9+7 per game, which just reached Bird's average per game in the last year of his career.
It should be mentioned that Bird played this data that year with a crippled back and completely collapsed athletic ability.

The gap is large, but not irreparable.

Hill has the offensive ability and the potential to be a pivot in the low post, and Mo Mengchen can make up for the lack of organization.

What's more, they have an All-Star shooter Alan Houston compared to the old Celtics.

Indeed, this is a feasible solution.

But Gentry's current offense led by the bench is more pleasing to Collins.

In the absence of high-intensity defense at all, he played the game in 10 minutes.

It can be seen that there is no defense in this confrontation game, which is incompatible with the style of the Pistons and the high confrontation training they have been insisting on before.

Gentry's reason is also very simple: "They just finished a confrontation match. I asked them to deliberately control the intensity of the confrontation in order to avoid injury."

"You're very thoughtful," Collins laughed.

Frauses sighed: "It seems that we are about to change our flag."

What can Mo Mengchen say?Frause's suggestion is good, but playing any kind of system is risky.

The fact that the old Celtics can become the overlord of the East with such a system and win three championships is inseparable from the selflessness of those people.

If the Pistons want to change to this system, Mo Mengchen doesn't know how many people in the team will not adapt.

At the same time, Mo Mengchen was not optimistic about Gentry's system.

This is completely a replica of running and bombing. What is different from modern running and bombing is that his running and bombing does not need defense at all, and offense is paramount.

This style of play will definitely be beaten to diabetes in the playoffs.

"Damn it."

Mo Mengchen cursed secretly.

Looking back at his overall rating, it is only 71, what can he do?

take it easy.
