You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 477 Basketball shouldn't be like this!

Mo Mengchen still didn't participate in the second round of City Lights initiated by the two teams alone.

"It's over, a flat tire in a place like this."

There were black lights everywhere, and Mo Mengchen didn't know what to do in the car.

Ephraim asked, "Then what?"

"I don't know yet." Mo Mengchen said, "However, we probably won't be able to go."

Ephraim looked around. The night was gloomy, and there were no lights around. This should be the most remote location in Detroit.

Fortunately, it was just a flat tire, and everything in the car was normal, so they could stay in the car and do nothing.

But doing nothing is impossible.

"It's so quiet here," Ephraim said.

So the night passed.

Mo Mengchen was absent for some reason, and the Pistons and the Red Wings fought in the second round. Fortunately, Hill was very good at table football and won a round on behalf of the Pistons.

But it's still an old problem. There are so many Red Wings fans at the scene. Even if they win, it feels like winning on the road.

Many people think that they deliberately choose the sports they are good at but the Red Wings are not good at, and winning does not show how good they are.

They didn't have any thoughts about this matter, they just wanted to know where Mo Mengchen had gone.

There was no news all night, which really made everyone sweat for them.

The next day, with the help of a towing team, Mo Mengchen took the car to the repair shop for repairs. His appearance aroused the onlookers of the local residents. Thousands of people crowded outside the repair shop, hoping to get his autograph.

Compared with signing autographs for others, Mo Mengchen wanted to go home with Ephraim to brush his teeth and wash his face.

It's just that everyone's opinion is hard to get, Mo Mengchen can only put on a show, sign a few people's names, and then find an excuse to leave.

Also on this day, Detroit had a guest—the San Antonio Spurs.

They originally had a dream-filled future, but because of an accidental opportunity, they got the No. 9697 lottery and won Duncan.As a result, the encounter between Mo Mengchen and David Robinson diagnosed his potential injury in advance, which allowed the Spurs to escape the wave of injuries in the 20 season and indirectly ruined their luck for the next [-] years.

Duncan came to the East, and the Spurs were still a strong team in the West until this season, but they were only limited.

Because even the admiral is 35 years old this year.

The age of 35 is a watershed for the competitive level of most superstars. Only a very small number of historical superstars still maintain the All-Star level after this age, and most of them will experience a landslide-like decline.

Currently, the Admiral is averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds per game, down from 21 points and 10 rebounds last season, which was just the beginning of the season.

Most will continue to decline as the season progresses, and only a few will explode in the second half of the season.

This is a lockout season and there is no All-Star weekend, so it is difficult for players to find their status through rest this season.

The lockout season has increased the number of back-to-backs. Such a schedule is a nightmare for a veteran like Robinson.

The contrast between the records of the two teams is also extremely clear. The Pistons have won eight consecutive victories, while the Spurs have four wins and four losses.

It is against this background that the Pistons and Spurs launched a fierce confrontation.

The Spurs have many veterans on the team, and all five starters are over 30 years old. The Pistons' game strategy is also very clear, which is to run and fight to drag the opponent to death.

The old man has the old man's way of playing. They patiently dragged the game to a positional battle. Coupled with their super high shooting percentage, the situation was deadlocked.

In the first and second quarters, the Spurs used the old man's method to delay the game.

61 to 54, only 7 points behind.

"I'm going to increase my individual offense in the second half."

Before walking into the player tunnel, Hill faced the reporter and talked about his performance in the first half. He thought it was a lack of aggressiveness, and expressed a very firm attitude that he would continue in the second half.

As a result, as soon as the second half came up, Hill first scored a three-pointer.

Mo Mengchen saw that he felt good, so he fed him again in the next round.

Hill continued.

Then, Hill was the only one left in Mo Mengchen's eyes, and he kept feeding the ball, wishing to feed him until he was bloated. Devil Mountain scored 24 points in a row in the third quarter, and finally hit a piece of iron.

During this period, the Pistons only had Mo Mengchen and Hill touch the ball.

Hill was like a storm, scoring 24 points in a row, and his firepower alone overwhelmed the Spurs.

He single-handedly crushed the Spurs and won the game directly in the third quarter.

After the game, someone asked Popovich what he needed to summarize from the game.

Popovich replied: "When your opponent can beat you by one person, you don't need to sum up."

Hill scored 40 points and 10 rebounds.

He focused on offense tonight, especially his crazy performance in the third quarter buried the Spurs in one fell swoop.

Mo Mengchen scored a special 10+20 with 20 points and 10 assists, and praised Hill's performance in front of the media.

Five consecutive days of home games passed very quickly. Defeating the Spurs, the Pistons won the first nine consecutive victories, leaving the Jazz behind and leading the league in record.

Their state is surprisingly good. Compared with other teams, except for a veteran like Barkley, no one in the team has been affected by the lockout.

Even with such a fiery state, there are no shortage of pessimists.

"Actually, it may not be a good thing if the state appears too early. This is not a normal state. I am cautious about the future of Detroit."

"Starting off the season at their best, that's obviously not a good thing. A lot of teams are looking for a sense of the game, and the Pistons are at their best right from the start, which of course gets them win after win, but We all know the regular season only guarantees the playoffs."

"Then the question is, are the Pistons really at their best?"

These problems can't bother the Pistons, and then they have a three-way trip, including back-to-back and extremely perverted Raptors and Knicks.

The metamorphosis here is not the strength of the opponent, but the journey.

They have to fly to Toronto first, then go to New York, two games in two days, which is a difficult journey for anyone.

In order to cope with these difficulties, Westphal deliberately rested Joe Dumars and Alan Houston when they played against the Raptors. The former was fine, but there were too few, so protect it; Something upset my stomach.

Mo Mengchen's only comment was why he wasn't rested?He also wants to take a break, but it's not easy to bring up such a thing.

Could it be that he can't lift his spirits against such a bad team?

Of course not.

The Raptors have this year's No. [-] pick, Vince Carter, who is also from North Carolina. He can also fly into the sky and escape from the ground. He can also make fans fall in love with him with a few dunks. This person's temperament is completely different from Jordan's.

Because he was too bored, Mo Mengchen had no choice but to trouble Carter in the Raptors game.

"Rookie, is this your defense?"

After all, Mo Mengchen hit a three-pointer.

He forced Carter to take the initiative to confront him, but the result was even greater revenge.

"Defend against me? Have you thought about it?" After saying that, Mo Mengchen broke through Carter and scored.

Carter is the type that Mo Mengchen is least good at defending. He can shoot suddenly, and his physical fitness is extremely strong, but he is only a rookie, and he was irritated again. The Pistons still have two Wallaces standing inside.

His layup was blocked, Mo Mengchen took the defensive rebound, changed direction to shake off Carter who was trying to wrap him around, and accelerated to the frontcourt.

Before everyone was in position, he made an emergency stop one meter away from the left three-pointer, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

The ball was high in the air, and he turned to look at Carter.

"Shh!"

"Please, don't guard against me. If I were you, I would be embarrassed to face me again." Mo Mengchen said flatly.

His sarcasm only made Carter angrier.

In a rage, UFO raised the ball to find Mo Mengchen to match up. When it was activated, it instantly got rid of him and rushed into the basket frantically.

It was also from North Carolina, but Rasheed Wallace didn't give face to his junior at all. He violently intercepted the UFO in the air and knocked over the UFO roughly.

"Beep!"

The referee whistled excitedly.

T+ flagrant foul.

Rasheed roared, thinking it was just an ordinary foul at best.

Mo Mengchen pulled people away before his boxing referee, and now he is no longer angry with Rashid's T, he is used to it.

Counting tonight's game, after ten games, Rashid has received a total of 12 Ts. The league has temporarily introduced a new rule for him: 15 personal technical fouls will result in an automatic one-game suspension.

Carter was injured and the game lost all the highlights and suspense.

As soon as Carter left, Mo Mengchen couldn't find the rookie, and he disappeared on the court. The Raptors were no match for the Pistons at all. They resisted lightly, then gave up, and lost 39 points at home.

"This is a team that really likes to slaughter their opponents on the road."

Said Reeve Albert, the narrator for the night.

Mo Mengchen, who tortured Carter, scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He had no idea about his performance.

"Excitement? There's nothing to be excited about, it's just something casual."

When Mo Mengchen was asked if he was excited to take turns shooting three-pointers on Carter's head, he answered calmly.

On the other side, Carter accused Mo Mengchen of all kinds of atrocities on the court to the media.

"He trash-talks me every time he makes a shot!"

"He has more small moves than anyone else!"

"In order to prevent my breakthrough, Rashid fouled me maliciously!"

"Basketball isn't supposed to be like this!"

The young Canadian trapeze, Vince Carter, whose scalp was numb from the dust of Mormon, faced the media with an emotional accusation.

Someone conveyed these words to Mo Mengchen intact.

He didn't want to respond at first, but he couldn't avoid it so he responded impatiently: "I only agree with the last sentence."
