You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 173

"To this day, I still think about the last five seconds of that game."

"We are here again, but the Magic is not the Magic of last season, and this does not affect our revenge." Hill was surrounded by his teammates, "Today, our slogan is no longer the next one."

"All the honor and disgrace are poured here, blow them up, and pay with blood!"

"123!"

"eye for eye!"

Losing O'Neal, the Magic are no longer the expected superteam of the future, and they will surely become a laughingstock if they let go of the most dominant center of the era in order to keep the price down.

But thinking about how Howard also broke up with them later, maybe we can understand that the Magic are good at breaking up with the superstars they cultivated?
After a summer of heartbreak for fans, the Magic have strengthened, as long as they don't take into account that they lost the Sharks in the summer.

At the center position, they introduced Ronnie Secali.

I don’t know why everyone is saying that Wang Zhizhi is the first Asian to enter the NBA. In fact, Sekali is a Lebanese. He holds dual citizenship of Lebanon and the United States. He helped the United States play the World Championships. Once wanted to play for Lebanon but did not get permission from FIBA.

But it is undeniable that he is a Lebanese first and an American second.

Mo Mengchen took the initiative to say hello to Hadaway.

"It would be fun for me to end your road trip with a defeat."

Hadaway held Mo Mengchen's hand and smiled softly.

Mo Mengchen grabbed Hardaway's palm with all his strength, and said harshly: "You who lost Shaq are just a bunch of worthless in my eyes."

"Really? Then let us see how far you have grown in the past few months."

After the harsh words were finished, the two retreated to the backcourt to warm up.

Mo Mengchen and Hardaway have a good personal relationship, but that's limited to off-court, and it's also because their tempers get along well.

This kind of friendship does not allow them to be merciful on the court. Mo Mengchen will not forget last year's playoffs, and Hardaway wants to maintain the leading position. Both of them are the same.

"Orlando's defense is very strong, and if we can play the offense of the first two games with this defensive intensity tonight, we can reproduce this performance against any opponent."

Gentry is very confident about this, he believes in the team's offensive power.

Collins was about to nod in approval, but Mark Jones on the side smiled and said: "Man, Orlando's strong defense was last season. The Sharks are no longer here."

"Really? Do you really think so?"

Now that Gentry has completely invested in Collins, Collins' enemy is his Gentry's enemy.

What's more, Jones has already fired at him, and Gentry will not stand and be beaten.

He locked his eyes on Jones and said, "Last season, the Magic allowed 101 points per game. That's what you said, when Shaq was still there; so far this season, they've given up 93 points per game, so what? Explanation? Was that Shark playing defense well? Apparently not."

Collins was in a good mood, and Gentry was clearly a better hitter than Zina McClain.

These words are well-founded, and even Collins couldn't help joining the battlefield: "Yeah, we should judge the strengths and weaknesses through real data, not impressions."

Jones glanced at the two men who were in trouble, and said: "Yes, comparing the sample of 82 games in a season with the sample of 7 games, I don't know if this can be called rigorous, I don't know."

"Obviously not, Mark, they've only played seven games now, how can that be relied upon?"

Matt Lauria, who had been stripped of his offensive assistant job by Gentry, joined the fray, and he sided entirely with Jones in another argument with Collins and Gentry.

McClane wanted to join in, but she didn't know what to say.

Disgusted by this, Frouses stepped aside and quietly observed the changes on the field.

Bombardment and triangle offense, these are two completely different systems. Interestingly, the Pistons have the conditions to play these two systems.

Because they have two commanders: Mo Mengchen and Hill.

Especially Mo Mengchen, he is not just a commander.

He is the leader among the players, and his voice is even higher than that of the coach; he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and his understanding of the tactical system is beyond the reach of Collins; he is also the most prestigious person in the team, and his part-time job in the hospital has won him the most Benefits, and even the team are also popular, as evidenced by the joining of Dura Electric.

In the eyes of high-level executives, he is the kind of person who "can bring benefits to me", which other people cannot do.

There are even rumors that the reason why the woman named Shannon Poser bought 14% of the Pistons is because of Mo Mengchen.

Today, Boser is already a member of the operation department. If this is true, Mo Mengchen will have his own eyeliner and voice at the top, and his influence will no longer be limited to the team.

Such a guy doesn't fight for it, but fights there?
Frauses really didn't understand this group of people.

"I hope you all come happy and walk away with tears in your eyes, just like you did a few months ago."

When Nick Anderson shook hands with Mo Mengchen, he said so.

Mo Mengchen said: "You are not qualified to say this, because you are not someone who can influence the trend of the game."

Anderson said angrily: "When I score 30 points on you tonight, you will know whether I can affect the trend of the game!"

"No, I suddenly thought of one thing, I was wrong, you can really affect the trend of the game - wait until the critical moment, if the score is tied, I will suggest that the big guy foul you, because you will not shoot free throws anyway .” Mo Mengchen smiled and walked towards Hardaway, leaving Anderson with an angry face behind.

Hardaway looked the same as the last time he saw him at Jordan's training camp.

"What you said to Nick is too much, he won't never miss a goal." Hardaway said.

Mo Mengchen replied: "Really? Then I want to see today, whether he can score a goal or not."

Mo Mengchen remembered that Hardaway's injury wave started this season.

There are many puzzling things in the world, and Hardaway's fall is one of them.

He was known to be decimated by injuries, but the fact that he missed just five games in the first three years of his career shows that he is not a glass man.

He is not like Yao Huang who gained a lot of weight in order to increase the dominance of the low position, which caused his body to be unbearable; he was not like Hill who overused his talent until he finally blew the safety engine at the age of 28; He doesn't waste money and plays in a healthy way. He was only 26 years old when he suffered a serious injury.

Mo Mengchen didn't have much feeling for Hardaway.

His feeling for Hardaway is like those fans who watched Kobe enter the peak, fall to the trough, and retire with 60 points in the perfect curtain call. There will still be many talented young people in the league, but they have no time and enthusiasm. to follow another player.

Every generation has its own passions.

"Tonight, I want you to pay in blood."

Without O'Neal, the internal and external response of the Magic is no longer an unsolvable problem.

Mo Mengchen is confident of defeating him tonight.

Hardaway's eyes flashed, and he said: "I will try my best to continue the suspense of this game, I hope you will not appear too rude."

After all, the core players on both sides retreated to warm up at halftime

"The game is about to start. This is the first time the two teams have played against each other after the suffocating tiebreaker last season. I think this will be a fierce game no less than the playoffs."

The guest commentator tonight is Marv Albert, and the other commentator is Orlando's resident commentator Ron Thulin.

Turin said: "I hope the Pistons, the toughness and strong will they showed in that tie-breaker was impressive. They are only five seconds away from the promotion."

"It's unbelievable that a die-hard team like you would fall in love with the enemy team that almost knocked you out?" Albert said in surprise.

Turing said with a smile: "As long as you watch those five games in full, it's really hard not to respect them."

"Okay, the game is about to start."

Tonight, the Pistons started a little differently.

Thorpe missed tonight's game with a sore thigh.

Ratliff was also ruled out for tonight's game because of diarrhea.

Coupled with Barkley, the Pistons have three insiders who cannot play in this game.

Therefore, their starters tonight are Mo Mengchen, Houston, Hill, Mahon, and Wallace.

Compared with last season, the Magic's starting lineup is to replace O'Neal with Sekali, and nothing else has changed.

"The game is about to start, the undrafted pick Ben Wallace of the Pistons and Seikali jump the ball!"

"Ben is too short, can he really play center?"

"Don't say that, he signed up to be six feet nine inches tall."

"Hahaha~~~"

The two commentators were laughing at Wallace's height, and in a blink of an eye, Big Ben smacked the ball over Sekali's head.
