You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 406 What happened to Hill?
Throughout the half, the two sides were testing each other. This was the first game, and the Bulls had no intention of winning.

No team will show all their cards in the first game of the series, but the Bulls have already exposed the full defensive strategy against Hill to the public.

When Hill is one-on-one, defenders try to force him to move to the left, because according to video research, Hill's right-side breakthrough is more terrifying, and his right-side pull-up jumper has a very high hit rate.

When Hill tried to set up a pick-and-roll, he directly double-teamed him (often the 218-cm Longley and Rodman together), using his height to limit his passing, and maintaining physical contact at all times.

When Hill played post-up singles, he used a three-man double-team, Pippen was behind, Jordan was in front, and the inside giant blocked the bottom line.

When Hill relied on the screen to run off the ball, Pippen pressed close, and Rodman stepped up to force Hill away from the basket.

When Hill was forced to catch the ball on the wing, Jordan and Pippen stepped forward to double-team.

When the Bulls used this method against Hill, Ron Harper would run back and forth on the perimeter, creating an "I'll pinch you at any moment" threat.He doesn't always attack Hill directly, because it will miss Mo Mengchen, and the price is also unbearable for them. His repeated movement is exactly illegal defense, which is only allowed after 2001. of defense.

It's just that he took a sideline approach, using active running to cover up the fact that the Bulls used zone defense to deal with Hill.

What the Bulls did to Hill was not just brutal physical contact, but their overall linkage, meticulous execution of defensive strategies, and quick rotations.The last point is a psychological factor: occasionally choose to double-team the first time, or wait for Hill to start dribbling before double-teaming, and sometimes wait for Hill to reach the low post before double-teaming...they don't The regular terrorist methods are mainly anti-clients, which cast a psychological shadow on Hill's offense.

After halftime, Hill played the most time of the team, but the statistics were only dismal 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Bulls' targeting of him is so obvious that even the fans on the sidelines can see it.

"Why did they come here to make things difficult for Grant? Can they win by preventing Grant to death?" Even the 12-year-old Adrian could see the bull's tricks.

The adults were sitting next to Adrian. Hill's girlfriend Tamia couldn't understand the game, but she could see the anxiety and panic on Hill's face. He would only be like this when he was at a loss.

Halftime is over, look at the score, 48 to 40, the Pistons lead by 8 points.

Even if the Bulls' defense against Hill worked and limited the Pistons' first offensive point to only 3 points in the half, the Pistons still played an efficient offense.

Mo Mengchen was very active, with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the half. Houston got open because Jordan double-teamed Hill many times. His shooting cost the Bulls.

Hill was guarded to death, and the Pistons' offense was smoother. This does not seem to be a problem, because as long as the offense is not interrupted, so what if someone is guarded?Even if that person is Hill.

Does Hill really have such a high hatred value?Why would the Bulls prefer to let other points blossom and prevent him?

No, no, why was Hill so blocked?

As a superstar player, no matter how much the opponent targets him, he can theoretically deal with it. It is quite rare for Hill to be so helplessly defended.

midfield lounge

Hill sat resting in his place, he didn't say a word, there was no smile on his face, he was very unhappy.

His teammates did not provide him with enough help, and he has nothing to say, because he is a core player and he should solve the problem by himself.

But the Bulls put all their strength against him, what can he do?
However, the team took the lead in the first half, and that was enough.

He has grudges, but the results so far allow him to live with them.

"We played well in the first half, but it wasn't enough, it's not who we are, we can attack better than in the first half."

Frauses laid out the tactical board: "We need to strengthen the three-point shot and increase the conversion attack. Grant, whenever you have the opportunity, run forward immediately, don't hesitate."

Frauses focused on the offense, and his plan was to run the bull with speed.

Because the Bulls have a bunch of veterans, the team's first core Jordan is 35 years old, Pippen is 33 years old, Harper is 36 years old, Rodman is 38 years old, and even Langley is 29 years old.

They are a completely old team. As long as the Pistons can bring up the rhythm, the Bulls can't help it.

They always like to exert force in the third quarter, and tonight, the Pistons' plan is also to exert force in the third quarter.

Whether the bulls choked their attack, or they unleashed a storm of young men to run the old men down, the answer will be revealed soon.

At the beginning of the second half, Mo Mengchen's mind was taken away from Hill.

They were leading, and all he had to do was to extend the lead, and he could no longer care about Hill's wishes, thoughts, and feelings.

In the second half, the Pistons' interior starters were the more dynamic Jerome Williams and Ben Wallace.

Frouse's employment is bold, he doesn't care how sophisticated the combination of Rodman and Longley is, he just wants to use the superiority of numbers to destroy the opponent.

The biggest flaw of Williams and Wallace is that they have no shooting ability after they come out of the pick-and-roll, they can only cut in.

That's not a problem, Wallace quickly finds the cut and runs to the basket.

Mo Mengchen just had to throw the ball into the air.

"Auburn Hills skies are blooming!"

50 is better than 40
The Bulls' offense was equally methodical. Jordan leaned his back against Houston, turned around, shook Houston up, and took another step in.

Wallace's assisting defense is not taken seriously by the trapeze, even though his assisting defense threat is already one of the best in the league.

Jordan hit the board high, missed Wallace's block, and put the ball in the basket.

No pressure, he did it with ease.

42 is better than 50
Hill started to run, yelling as he ran.

Mo Mengchen knew what he meant, picked up the ball on the ground suddenly, retreated out of bounds, and sent a long pass from the backcourt.

It wasn't easy, because Pippen wasn't going to let him get away with it easily.

Halfway through Hill's offense, he was stopped by Pippen, who defended him well.

Then, he felt the resentment from the Arkansas hillbilly: "Everyone says you are better than me, and I am curious, how are you better than me?"

Pippen pushed Hill beyond the three-point line step by step. This is one-on-one!
"If it wasn't for the Aussie, you shit!" said Pippen hurtfully.

Houston and Mo Mengchen also ran to the frontcourt. If Hill sent the ball, the counterattack would be continuous, but he did not pass the ball.

Hill raised his head and looked at Pippen challengingly. The players on both sides had already settled down. An attack that had a chance to counterattack had entered a positional battle that Frauses didn't want to see.

Since three years ago, some people have been comparing Hill and Mo Mengchen.

Originally, Hill had a huge advantage, and this discussion was brought up. His supporters could easily defeat Mo Mengchen's supporters, but in the past two years, the argument began to change.

Because everyone found that when the critical moment came, Mo Mengchen was the one who carried the team forward.

Grant Hill?A dropout who falters in crunch time, or simply isn't on the floor.

He can get better data than Mo Mengchen, but he is not as good as Mo Mengchen.

Everyone thought so. After Mo Mengchen hit the legendary counter-lore in the semi-finals, this matter was almost a fact and could not be changed.

do i really care about this
Hill asked himself, he had no teammates in his eyes, only Pippen, basketball, and himself.

Yes, I do.

He doesn't care about being upstaged by Mo Mengchen, he doesn't care that Mo Mengchen is the leader of the Pistons, and he doesn't care who leads the team. What he cares about is what the outside world thinks of him.

Is he holding back Mo Mengchen?
Can't he help the team?

Even, he is a quitter?
I'm not!
Hill dragged the shot clock to the last five seconds, and the ball was in his hands for the entire 24-second shot.

Frouseth clearly set them up to speed up the game, but Hill played it into a stinky long positional battle, not attacking until the last five seconds, which was the complete opposite of the half-time setup.

Hill has an enviable talent, and even Pippen, who despises him anyway, recognizes his ability.

Hill's explosive power and the starting speed at this moment are breathtaking.

This is what Pippen lacks. It is hard to believe that a 203 cm big man can have such a starting speed. He not only starts fast, but also starts while changing direction. The combination of the two, as long as he is given space, there is no one on the surface who can One-on-one with his defenders.

Hill is like Jordan who just entered the league back then. His offensive skills are immature, but his lightning-fast start breakthrough, coupled with the black cat's agility and aerial coordination, made him an average of 20 points per game as soon as he entered the industry. Good scorer.

Unfortunately, today is different.

The moment Pippen was broken through, Rodman was already in place.

Defensive superstars have never been a one-man job. Seeing that Hill has outperformed Pippen in the best lineup for two consecutive years, the Bulls should send two people to defend anyway, shouldn't they?
"Beep!"

The second Hill broke through Pippen, Rodman appeared like a mirror image.

Hill hit it.

Rodman gave a wonderful performance, staggered back to the ground, and gave Hill an aggrieved offensive foul.

Hill holds the ball, and the referee's whistle blares.

He wasted the attack of this round, and the opponent may take this opportunity to make a move.

Death of the Bulls Section [-], coming?
The fans at the scene became uneasy, and the commentator was dumbfounded. What happened to Hill?
Frause also wanted to know, the two most reassuring people in the team, Mo Mengchen and Hill.

Mo Mengchen never made mistakes, and neither did Hill.

But now, he clearly has a problem.
