You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 515 What is interesting about this game

To beat the Pistons, you must first suppress their game rhythm.

Tonight, the Blazers did a good job in this matter, and the rhythm of the Pistons was overwhelmed.

Even with Hill's 14-point performance in a single quarter, they could enter the second quarter with a five-point advantage and allow the Pistons, who had previously averaged 5 points in the first quarter of each game, to score only 34 points.

30 is better than 25
In the second quarter, the two sides used half-main and half-substitute lineups to attack and attack.

Both the Pistons and Trail Blazers have high-quality benches, and the game is extremely good-looking. Even without considering the respective rankings of these two teams, this is a game worth the ticket price.

Under the care of Sprewell, Mo Mengchen only hit a jumper in the first quarter, scoring 2 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, as if he was really guarded.

Mo Mengchen was sitting off the court, while Weber was launching an attack on the court.

As the 4th position, he has perfect body and technology. Facing Jerome Williams, he pressed his back tightly, used his weight to crush, and finally turned over and scored with a hook.

The action is not good at all.

"Why would someone call him the most gorgeous power forward in history?" Mo Mengchen asked inexplicably.

Hill tried to explain: "Because of his flamboyant passing skills?"

"Then why don't you call it the most gorgeous power forward in history?" Mo Mengchen thinks this is the standard answer. Except for passing, all of Weber's technical moves are not as gorgeous as they are wretched. up?

The wretched hook, the wretched straight-arm jumper, and the hunchback when dribbling, no matter how you look at it, it is not beautiful.

Hill went on to explain: "Is this more impressive?"

Yes, it is indeed more profound. Putting it 20 years later is fraudulent marketing. Some poor fans who have never seen him play will have a wrong impression of him because of some coquettish passing GIFs.

And those clips are just a glimpse of Webber's career, and the real Webber's playing is wretched.

Although wretched, but useful, the hook hit, the point difference became 34 to 27, and the Blazers led by 7 points.

Dumars has a stabilizing effect on the field, and the Blazers let Stoudemire deal with him.

Although Dumars was a member of the All-Defensive Team when he was young, he is not what he used to be now. It is impossible for him to guard Stoudemire in this situation.

Stoudemire didn't make a shot, and Stoudemire generally launched a counterattack.

36 is better than 27
In the blink of an eye, the point difference came to 9 points.

After only 3 minutes in the second quarter, Dumars obviously couldn't defend Stoudemire.

This is the advantage of putting Stoudemire in the second team. Sprewell can suppress Mo Mengchen in the first team, and Little Flying Squirrel can ravage Dumars with speed in the second team.

Mike Dunleavy had a good idea.

Westphal could see the essence of this routine, but what really surprised him was Mo Mengchen's performance.

He acted like he was really being pinned down by Sprewell.

But, you know, this is a monster who can lead the team to overthrow the 96 Bulls in his rookie season.

Last year, he averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds and 12 assists in seven games in the Eastern Conference finals. The legendary Game6 and Game7 were the best players on both teams in terms of statistics. Facing the strongest defensive team in the league, he played an extraordinary game. Performance, this is just him last year.

Now he is definitely a level stronger than last year, how could he be restricted to death by Sprewell?

"Do you need my help?"

After 5 minutes, the Blazers scored 9 points, forcing Westphal to replace Mo Mengchen and Hill.

They usually play around this time, and Hill is concerned about Mo Mengchen's performance, so he asked this question.

Mo Mengchen said with a smile: "Just take care of yourself."

"What are you trying to do?" Hill asked.

"Don't guess my mind, it's like the brightest star in the night sky." Mo Mengchen said flatly, "You can see it, but you can't understand it."

Hearing the truth of this sentence, Hill was at a loss.

After Mo Mengchen played, Dunleavy quickly replaced Sprewell, which was extremely targeted.

Even the fans could tell that Deng Lewei was dealing with Mo Mengchen to the death.

Serving from the backcourt, Mo Mengchen advanced.

When he came to the LOGO, his dribbling speed slowed down, and Sprewell stood one step outside the three-point line, waiting for Mo Mengchen to approach.

Sprewell is fast, high and able to jump. From Mo Mengchen's point of view, it is really difficult to deal with.

The opponent is fast, but not as fast as him.

This is the conclusion Mo Mengchen reached through the confrontation in the first quarter. His speed is faster than Sprewell. Outperform?

However, Mo Mengchen didn't want to expose this point here.

That's what makes this game interesting.

How on earth do I have to perform without making Mike Dunleavy feel like I've failed by putting Sprewell on me?

Mo Mengchen patted the ball and waved to Jerome Williams.

That's how he does it, every time he plays, he has to use a pick-and-roll, and he has to let them know that Sprewell's defense is so strong that I have to play a pick-and-roll every possession.

Williams' pick-and-roll is not a left-right pick-and-roll in the usual sense, but a pick-and-roll that predicts Sprewell's position and is separated by several meters.

Mo Mengchen suddenly started, bringing Sprewell to Williams.

The two collided, and Sprewell couldn't feel how fast Mo Mengchen was. It was more because of Williams' pick-and-roll that made it difficult for him to get close.

In a blink of an eye, Mo Mengchenfei made a layup.

34 is better than 41
"It's so fast." Dunleavy was startled. He asked Sprewell, "Trell, can you keep up?" will call him as Trell alone.)
Mo Mengchen's speed is indeed very fast, but the speed shown just now has not exceeded Sprewell's perception, so his answer is yes: "Leave it to me!"

The Blazers' tactical flexibility is mainly reflected in the two insiders.

Webber and Sabonis, these two are the 4th and 5th positions who can pass the ball the most in history at the same time. Whether they are high or low, they can play the pivot. Sometimes they only need to stand at a 45-degree angle to the left and right, and the card will be blocked. The choice of outside line is much simpler.

In this round, when Weber was about to reach his position, Hill instantly shrank in and double-teamed him.

As soon as Hill moved, Walter Williams also moved. This 3D player who was suppressed by Hill from the beginning to the present only wanted to get the ball from Weber, and then used a dunk to make Hill keep an eye on him.

Williams just threw the ball, and Wallace, who was still outside the paint, quickly shrunk back.

His height makes it difficult to believe that he can be a pillar of the paint.

However, he is undoubtedly the Optimus Prime of the Pistons.

His short stature means that he can complete the high pick-and-roll delays that can only be achieved by modern insiders, and he can also return to the basket from outside the paint at an incredible speed. Possesses the ability to protect the basket that does not match its body. .

"Amazing closure!"

Wallace successfully defended, Mo Mengchen received the rebound, ignored Sprewell who wanted to press him closely, passed the ball behind his back, and sent it forward.

The basketball flew into the distance.

"Dor.Mo's long pass to Alan Houston is so beautiful, it's a textbook on counter-passing."

Houston got the pass and made a layup.

36 is better than 41
Sprewell was furious. He clearly prevented Mo Mengchen from scoring. Why did this guy still affect the game in various ways?

"If you want to prevent me from dying, you may have to practice hard for 20 years." Mo Mengchen said regretfully.

Sprewell said angrily: "I will definitely prevent you tonight!"

Unconvincing harsh words.

Mo Mengchen wanted to piss off Sprewell and make him mess up. As long as he and Webber and Sabonis had conflicts over possession of the ball, the game would become much more interesting.

It's a pity that this guy has changed since he came to Portland. He is serious about defending, and he has fulfilled Dunleavy's orders to the letter.

It is indeed a big change from before.

But he still has a big temper. After Mo Mengchen spouted trash, he told Weber and Sabonis to roll aside—actually, he switched them away through tactical gestures—to face someone like Mo Mengchen, If you keep defending, you will be mad at his trash talk sooner or later. Sprewell occasionally plays singles with the ball, which both Webber and Sabonis can understand.

As long as you can get in.

Sprewell has a top-notch first step, although it is not as perverted as Hill, but it is not something Mo Mengchen can react to.

"Did you see Ben? He's waiting for you." Mo Mengchen used Wallace to frighten Sprewell, forcing him to make a jump shot.

It was originally a one-step thing, and suddenly there was a change.

This defense should have been done by Hill, but Mo Mengchen insisted on facing off against Sprewell, so Hill could only let him do it. Looking at it now, his defensive effect is not that bad.

With Wallace around, Sprewell couldn't make a breakthrough, and he didn't allow Webb and Sabonis to open up the space and continuously change direction and make strong shots.

This kind of ball is not accurate at all.

For those who like to pull up, fans always say that their pull-up defenders have nothing to do because they jump too high and only they decide where the ball hits.

This sentence is actually true.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible to cover, and it is the shooter himself who determines the result of the shot.

However, this kind of full-strength pull-up shot cannot guarantee the hit rate. In that case, there is no accuracy at all, and the power under the feet is too fierce, so you can only rely on the strength of your fingers to force the shot.

boom!
Sprewell made a shot.

Mo Mengchen turned around quickly, and Williams helped him get the rebound.

Then, there was another round of turbulent violent counterattack.

Sprewell retreated quickly enough, but it was a pity that two fists were no match for four hands, and Mo Mengchen and Hill cooperated to fight back.

38 is better than 41
Within 2 minutes, the 9-point difference changed to 3 points, and Dunleavy immediately called a timeout to readjust and arrange.

　Damn, I raised 200 favorites yesterday, who of you pinched your own face?Test me if I'm dreaming
