You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 212 Unfavorable Factors
Thirteen years later, Curry, who had just entered the league, was asked why there were so many unreasonable shot choices. He smiled and replied: "Heh, Dor.Mo was even more extreme than this back then."

——This night, Mo Mengchen, Hill, and Houston played only 31 minutes each.

Because the game was garbage time from the second half of the third quarter, the Pistons went smoothly throughout the game. Mo Mengchen's three-pointers were like a roaring train, one after another.

Misplaced and hit Mason, received the ball and fired it to the top of the head;
Two meters away from the three-point line, there is not much time left in the attack, throw a wild one, or go in;
Enchanting moves, cutting out at the top of the arc, catching and shooting, still there;

What shocked Curry the most was the shot before halftime. Mo Mengchen stopped at the LOGO position even though he still had about two seconds to advance. Three points.

"Crazy three-pointer!"

"Made by Dor.Mo!"

Dell Curry failed to hit five three-pointers on Mo Mengchen's head because Houston blocked him to death, but Mo Mengchen made five three-pointers in front of Charlotte, and each goal was exaggerated.

Little Curry stared, no one has ever played like this.

Mo Mengchen's three-pointer is different from the peak Curry's dribbling and dribbling blind throw. He is like an evolved version of the old Ray Allen. Most of them catch and shoot, and a small amount of the ball Emergency stop.

Such a performance allowed him to clock out of get off work in three quarters, scoring 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Pistons [-]-game winning streak.

Then, they will go to the last away game of this trip - New York.

This is a difficult back-to-back, the only good news is that tonight's seemingly tough game ended easily, and the main players were all rested.

In the game against the Knicks, the Pistons were not as unstoppable as others thought. The double bonus was in front of them. Maybe they were too excited. In the 4th minute of the second quarter, Houston stepped on a jumper that was cut off a screen. on the feet of the Tuckers.

"This is something we don't want to see!"

The commentator at the scene said softly.

"It hurts! Mo! I hurt so much!" Houston cried out in pain, hugging his ankle.

Mo Mengchen checked carefully, and David Wise took Houston's foot away: "It seems that there is no structural damage."

"I hope it's just a sprain." Mo Mengchen said, "He needs to go to the hospital for an examination immediately."

"How am I?" Houston asked.

"I don't know." Mo Mengchen said.

"Am I finished?" Houston asked in horror.

"Pray."

If that gives you peace of mind.Mo Mengchen didn't know what to say, and at the same time, Collins was the saddest person.

The only thing he has to be thankful for is that Houston's sprain occurred in the second quarter. If it happened in the fourth quarter, the consequences would be disastrous.

The news about his abuse of the main force has spread everywhere. Now that Houston is injured, even if it is an accident, even in the second quarter, some people will still say it.

Moreover, Houston's injury may affect the morale of the team.

Can this game be won?
If they persisted for so long, but fell down tonight, Houston was injured and missed the double bonus, the morale of the team is very likely to drop to the lowest point in an instant.

This is unbearable, and he never wants to see such a thing happen.

Mo Mengchen looked at the score: 44 to 40.

They only lead the Knicks by 4 points.

"We're going to visit that fool with the double bonus," Mo Mengchen said.

"Do you think he's badly hurt?" Hill asked.

"There is a 50% chance of a second-degree sprain, and a 50% chance of a third-degree sprain. Either one is bad." Mo Mengchen glanced at Barkley, "Chuck should be very clear about this."

Barkley exclaimed: "Yes, damn, the second level has made me uncomfortable for more than a month, and the recovery period is too painful!"

Hill looked at Mo Mengchen and Barkley, and made up his mind: "If we lose Alan and have not won fifteen consecutive victories, the morale of the team will collapse."

"Yes, after working so hard for so long, we can't fall down before crossing the finish line." Mo Mengchen said, "This is the reason why we must win this game."

The three agreed.

Houston's injury and retirement is a turning point. Because of the withdrawal of the CIC king, the Pistons' attack point is more fixed.

Mo Mengchen organizes from the outside and makes three-pointers on the spot; Barkley is low-posted and plays with his back; Hill is a wing assaulter, a one-on-one player when he can't play a routine, and a mid-cut shooter.

The three were the core, driving the other two, completely abandoning running and bombing.

Collins' face was stiff, how could he not see the changes on the field?But what can he do?Houston has been injured, and Mo Mengchen, Hill and Barkley are the best hope of winning. He can't call a timeout to interrupt their rhythm in order to operate his own system.

Although the old New York is no longer the iron-blooded team that could drag the Bulls into the tiebreaker, their experience is far better than that of the Pistons.

They fought against the strongest team of this era for six years, and they lost five of them. In the year they won, they won by taking advantage of the opponent's best player to play baseball.

Against the Pistons, they have a lot of experience, but a lack of vitality.

The vigor shown by Hill made them envious, and a dunk ignited the fire of anger in Madison Garden.

The fans in New York were clamoring that Spike Lee would jump on the sidelines every time the team scored, like a black monkey in heat.

In the fourth quarter, Hill made a breakthrough like lightning, passed the three Knicks, and went to the basket to face the gorilla.

The devil ate the wings raw, roared angrily, and hit Thor's hammer on the head of the Jamaican orangutan, writing the finale of the game.

As he landed, Hill twisted his foot.

Mo Mengchen sweated for this, stepped forward to ask, Devil Mountain shook his head and smiled, "It's okay."

"Are you sure?" Mo Mengchen carefully captured the changes on his face.

He didn't see any change, and Hill wasn't lying.

This dunk destroyed the Knicks' fighting spirit and helped the Pistons win. Hill is undoubtedly the best player tonight, and he stepped forward when the team needed it most.

Defense, aggression, offensive impact, and the "killing orangutan button" that destroys everything at the critical moment.

38 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, his data can also explain some problems.

It was undoubtedly Hill's best game of the season, as the Pistons won [-] straight at Madison Garden.

At the end of the game, the boos were so loud that the commentators at the scene had to take people into the player tunnel to barely conduct post-match interviews.

"Grant, you are the brightest star tonight, what is supporting you?"

"We are praying for Alan. His injury caused us to lose a main attacker. This game is dedicated to him." Hill said, "It is he who supports us all."

That night, Houston underwent an MRI.

The results of the examination showed that the right ankle had a first-degree sprain and the right knee ligament had a second-degree sprain.

The recovery period is about 40 days, but it will take at least 50 days to return to training after the injury is recovered.

"Lucky in misfortune."

Mo Mengchen sighed: "Blessed are fools."

Houston lay on the bed and cursed: "How do you talk, you bastard? You are blessed to rest for two months?"

"At that time, I thought it looked like a torn cruciate ligament. I didn't expect it to be." Mo Mengchen shook his head, with a look of regret on his face.

Houston was furious. How could there be such teammates in this world?
Hill smiled and said, "Take a good rest and wait for you to come back."

"I watched the highlights of the shot you dunked the gorilla. It's so beautiful. Thank you for doing it for me." Houston glanced at Mo Mengchen, "It's not like someone who knows how to stand stupidly outside the three-point line."

What can Mo Mengchen say?At that time, Hill was going to explode, and the only thing he could do was to stand by and enjoy the performance of Devil Mountain with others, otherwise what else could he do?

"Don't say that, if it wasn't for Mo's restraint, I wouldn't have such a wide breakthrough space."

A mother is a mother, and what she speaks is pleasant to hear.

Houston will be injured for nearly two months. In addition to finding someone in the second team to start, Collins has to deal with overwhelming negative public opinion.

"I don't think anyone will be surprised by this."

"Five consecutive away, the main players averaged 39 minutes per game, who else is the killer player?"

"If it's a coach's job to put the best players on the court for a long time regardless of other factors, I can do it."

"Due to the lack of depth in the lineup last season, Detroit still played a 9-man rotation, but now they have a deep lineup reserve, but only seven or eight players can play for a long time. What does this mean? This means that Doug Collins is more suitable to lead No depth lineup, so, front office, do you know what to do? — wait, Collins looks like the general manager? God!"

Fans complained, critics criticized, Mark Jones and others were also ready to move, and players led by Mo Mengchen also violated orders from time to time.

Collins feels that few things are going his way this season, and the support from the top management is not as good as before.

For the head coach, he is now at a very dangerous juncture, but he is also the general manager. Only the president and higher-level people can restrict him.

Once those people decide to do something to him, it is not just as simple as criticizing a few words.

Just the thought of Graham Senna trying to take him down all the time makes Collins fidgety. He thought winning would solve everything, but it didn't.

Now that Houston is injured, his employment method has been questioned again.

On Christmas Eve, the Pistons returned triumphantly with [-] consecutive victories.

They'll take the day off before facing the Seattle SuperSonics on Christmas Eve.

Extremely unfavorable public opinion, the promise of double bonuses after [-] consecutive victories, the ups and downs of the team, and the strong enemy in the West who came full of hostility.

Collins was not sure at all, nor did he know how to meet the enemy tomorrow.
