You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 274

This night, the audience poured into the Palace of Auburn Hills, and they occupied every corner here.

The Bulls lead 2-1.

If they lose this game, the Bulls will get the match point, and they can basically advance, because no one believes that they will lose three games in a row.

This is Jordan's team, and the extremely proud man will never allow this kind of collapse in the team.

Therefore, this game is a battle of life and death.

For the Pistons, this is a game they can't afford to lose, a game that will determine where they end up this season.

Pistons starters: Mo Mengchen, Houston, Hill, Barkley, Ratliff.

On the Bulls side are the familiar Five Tigers, the outside iron triangle + Rodman and Longley.

"How does your ankle feel?" Mo Mengchen approached and asked worriedly.

Hill smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's no problem."

"If your injury worsens due to this stupid decision, and you end up amputating your limbs and ending your career early, please tell everyone that I tried my best to persuade you, but you are disobedient, OK?" Mo Mengchen said Words have a magic power, that is, what comes out of his mouth seems to come true.

This kind of affirmative tone made him unable to help but listen carefully when he spoke.

Hill smiled bitterly: "Can you say something nice?"

"Believe me, I've already spoken very well." Mo Mengchen retreated to the back.

The referee held the ball, stood in the middle, looked at the players on both sides, and said, "Get ready to jump the ball!"

Ratliff and Longley.

The former has an advantage in bullet speed, while the latter has an advantage in height and wingspan. The outcome can be said to be [-]-[-], but Langley's figure makes people look more confident.

"Snapped!"

The ball was slapped vigorously into the backcourt by Longley, and the Bulls took possession of the ball at the start.

Their first wave of offense came very quickly. Jordan entered the low post first, stuck the king of the mid-range shot, and Harper passed the ball immediately.

"Remember how I blew you up before, poor thing?"

When the cold words fell, the trapeze turned around and was about to pull it up. Houston, who wanted to defend Jordan too much, shot the ball, but unfortunately hit his arm.

whistle.

Within 10 seconds of the opening, Houston fouled first.

"No fouls necessary."

Vinier Johnson pointed out: "Alan can let Michael take a look. If he doesn't feel the touch, he can continue to let him shoot."

Jordan made two free throws, which made Houston's foul come to naught.

2 is better than 0
"You control the ball."

Hill has just come back. Now that he has played, it is useless for Mo Mengchen to worry. Instead of thinking about bad things, it is better to see how he is.

Hill had no objection. What people didn't expect was that Jordan stayed in the frontcourt with Pippen after taking free throws, defending a frontcourt press.

This is experience. They saw Hill was about to dribble across the half court, and they knew that he hadn't played for many days before, so they just took this opportunity to press.

Can Hill, who is unfamiliar with the game, withstand such a great defensive pressure?Pippen skillfully blocked his right, forcing him to go to the left outside the boundary.

In order to pass halftime, Hill took a risky move and took a step to the left.

"Beep!"

"Out of bounds!" the referee yelled.

"It seems that Grant can't save you." Jordan said softly, "I don't think he can be the savior. His character is too weak."

Mo Mengchen looked back at Jordan, and said in a choked voice: "We are a group, and we don't need anyone to save anyone. Do you think everyone is as pitiful as your teammates?"

"What did you say?" Jordan asked angrily.

"Without you, they are nothing, and we can still fight without any one of them. This is the difference. Michael, this is the difference between you and us."

After leaving these words, Mo Mengchen turned around and ran to Hill's side: "I'll handle the ball."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Hill said it himself.

Mo Mengchen and Jordan matched up.

Everyone knows that Jordan can easily beat Mo Mengchen as long as he gets the ball.

In order to get the ball, Jordan called Longley out for a pick-and-roll.

Their speed is too fast, and Langley's speed is too slow. In order to make a good cover, he needs to make a bad screen. If he wants to block people, this is not enough, so his body needs to exert strength. And this will be called a foul, so he has to be careful and careful.

His plan was seen by Mo Mengchen. From the very beginning, Mo Mengchen didn't want him to succeed.

In order to hang Mo Mengchen, Langli exerted all his strength.When the two came into contact, Mo Mengchen acted as if he had been violently impacted, and fell backwards. Langley's actions were exposed in front of the referee's eyes.

"Beep!"

"Cover foul!"

After finally getting the ball, Jordan wished he could swallow Longley alive: "Aussie, what the hell are you doing?"

"As expected of my good compatriot." Mo Mengchen got up and made friends with Langley who had never had any friendship. "Please continue to work hard and send us a few more fouls. Next time I go to Melbourne, I will cook for you myself."

Jordan knew that Mo Mengchen was provoking, but he was still half-pissed off, because it wasn't impossible, these two were fucking Australians.

Longley ran back with a bitter face, and the Bulls did not follow the previous frontcourt press.

Hill turned his back to ask for a position, and he and Pippen faced each other again.

Hands came across to him, and Mo Mengchen lobbed him.

Compared with Jordan, Hill is more like Pippen, comprehensive, and not good at shooting. His advantage lies in his first step, being younger, and having higher plasticity.

Now the list of the best team is hot, and the most competitive position is the small forward. To put it bluntly, it is the competition between Hill and Pippen.

Hill's data is better, and his team record is also good. Although the Pistons have had twists and turns this season, they have achieved qualified results anyway.

Coupled with the fact that he is widely favored as a supernova, Hill has a lot of calls to replace Pippen in the best team.

Hill was injured in the playoffs, and he was not able to play against Pippen until now. No matter what the matchup between the two is, it will not affect the final result, because the outside world has determined that Hill is injured and not 100% of strength.

Moreover, the best lineup was originally based on regular season performance.

When Hill got the ball, he was known for his defense. It can be said that he was the best defensive small forward in the 90s-Scott Pippen had an unbelievable defensive loophole, and his baseline was completely empty.

Obviously already felt that this was a trap, Hill's pace was not affected, he turned around violently, got rid of the defense, and went straight to kill, preparing for a layup.

"It's you idiot who's waiting!"

With a roar, Rodman rushed back from the paint and nailed Hill's layup to the backboard.

Hill himself lost his balance because of Rodman's impact and fell directly.

"Chicago strikes back!"

Rodman did not participate in the counterattack, but yelled directly at Hill who fell to the ground: "How can a good boy like you lead Detroit to rise? Go to your ghost dream!"

"BOOM!"

In the frontcourt, Jordan Pippen duo, Mo Mengchen and Houston could not resist their counterattack.

4 is better than 0
"The situation is not good. Grant's condition is not as good as expected."

"Grant's state is not only bad? He doesn't seem to be in the state."

I should dunk!
What Hill was thinking about was this matter. He really hadn't played a game for a few days, and suddenly he played such a high-intensity game, and he didn't have much strength under his feet.

Or is the injury still not healed?
He thought of this possibility, but the symptoms now are the same as those before the ankle was sprained again, the ankle is paralyzed, and the feeling of movement cannot be felt when moving.

This will not affect his athletic ability. Suddenly he can't run fast or jump high. He can only push the reason to the fact that he hasn't played for too long.

Hill's performance didn't surprise Mo Mengchen. His comeback was too sudden and too hasty. He just practiced with the team for a day and played a confrontation match. His condition was also poor, and then he made a hasty comeback.

Even if you want to come back, you must make comprehensive preparations.

At this moment, all complaints could only be shelved, with a strong enemy ahead, Mo Mengchen had no time to worry about these.

Hill passed the ball to Mo Mengchen after halftime.

For a moment, Mo Mengchen started with his left foot, giving Harper the illusion that he was going to attack to the left, and at the moment when the opponent raised his legs and feet to move sideways, he followed up with his right foot, followed by his left hand, and hit the ball into his crotch, as if A whirlwind created a beautiful rhythm——Harper's eyes widened like goose eggs, watching helplessly as Mo Mengchen passed through his defense and went straight to the penalty area.

Relying on his height, Langley was ready to block Mo Mengchen.

His height blocked many, including Rodman's vision. Mo Mengchen saw Alan Houston in the bottom corner. He gave up the attack and threw the ball hard.

With a beautiful zigzag arc, the ball flew into Houston's hands.

Three-point shot.

"Shh!"

3 is better than 4
The offensive rhythm was very fast. In the previous games, Mo Mengchen tried many methods but failed to achieve results. Therefore, he decided to play the team's normal rhythm tonight.

If he still can't win, then he doesn't know what to do.

The Bulls' counterattack revolved around Jordan, and it was another low post. Houston learned to be smart this time, and stopped attacking, focusing on interference, allowing Jordan to turn over and shoot a jumper.

There are only a handful of players who can make such complicated moves and twist into twists in the air, but still maintain a very high hit rate.

Such an offense seemed unreasonable in the later era of efficiency first, but it was Jordan's normal state.

"boom!"

Jordan missed!

Mo Mengchen picked up the rebound, and with a flash of his eyes, he saw Hill galloping forward.

A long pass was sent to the frontcourt.

Hill has the ball, accelerates forward, jumps and dunks.

The absolute height is not as good as his heyday, but he is slowly playing the feeling, which is a good thing.

Now that he is on the field, forget about his injury and focus on the game in front of him.

Hill retreated back and raised a hand to signal that Mo Mengchen passed well.

"If you don't want to be a burden, hold the ball less and do a good job of defense." Mo Mengchen said to him, and then moved forward to entangle Harper.

　Five more bursts today.
