You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 521 Dor.Mo's usual tricks

When Armstrong handed the ball to Penny, everyone could feel a signal coming from the Orlando position.

Hardaway, here he comes!
In order to fully release Hardaway's offense, Chuck Daly, who once led the team to contain Jordan with one hand, boldly abandoned Penny's advantage as a two-meter point guard.

Everyone knows how much a 201-centimeter defender can deal a blow to an opponent.

However, as a point guard, Penny's offense was suppressed too severely.

No one knows what level of offensive firepower he can achieve if he plays another position. Daly wants to make this conjecture a reality. He needs Penny to be more selfish, and then be more selfish, a little more selfish than he is now!
There's nothing wrong with Alan Houston's defense, the problem is with his opponent.

Penny's dive to the right looks like a desperate attack, and such an initiation is difficult to achieve.

Houston just needs to make the normal defensive choice and step back.

The moment he stepped back, Hardaway stopped, and the basketball magically flew below his legs, grabbed the ball, stopped his body, and used his core strength to jump up and shoot the basket.

hit!

6 is better than 9
In the next round, Mo Mengchen wanted to play a tactic to make Houston shoot back in the face, but Rasheed's cover was too much.

He was able to block his opponent completely with his body, but he wanted to raise his butt. This additional action indirectly caused Penny's flop to win the referee's whistle.

"Cover foul!"

Rashid seemed to have bumped into something incomprehensible, holding the headband with his hands, and his haircut showed how shocked he was: "NONONO!!!"

The referee doesn't care about him.

This is the playoffs again, and Rashid didn't dare to do whatever he wanted like in the regular season, so he had to suffer this loss.

"Hold your ass up, thank you on behalf of the fans!"

When Rashid ran back, Mo Mengchen said mockingly.

Rasheed had nothing to say, and could only find ways to cause trouble for Penny on the offensive end.

Houston's single defense is fine, but Penny's offense is too strong, and he is no longer the Hardaway that Mo Mengchen knew.

Daly brought out the wildness in him.

A true leader, a selfish man willing to do everything.

Hardaway raised his hand and let Nick Anderson step up to the pick-and-roll. He knew the consequences of this-Grant Hill would switch to his side-and from the way he looked, I'm afraid he didn't care much about the consequences.

Hill's outside single defense is the strongest in the Pistons. If even he can't limit Penny, it means that no one in the Pistons can limit him in a one-on-one situation.

The space gradually opened up, and Penny had a vast battlefield.

Devil Mountain judged the timing of his start. Before that, his body leaned forward first. This defense is no problem. His body is flatter and bigger than Penny, and he completely used his physical advantage.

However, Penny patted the ball and quickly changed direction behind his back, stepped up his pace, rushed to the free throw line, made an emergency stop, Hill took a step slower, and when the block came, the basketball had already been shot.

Again!

8 is better than 9
"Penny Hardaway is unstoppable!"

This is expected, and superstars cannot be restricted by single defense.

"Stop thinking about defending him one-on-one." Mo Mengchen shouted, "Bring him in, Rashid and Ben are not vegetarians in defense!"

"You think they're going to get that much help?" Hill asked.

Both Grant and Van Horn can pull out to shoot, and they will definitely take the lead. It is not easy for Rasheed and Wallace to help defend.

Why didn't Mo Mengchen know this truth? Although it was not easy to assist in defense, it has been proved that defense alone is completely unreliable.

On the offensive end, Mo Mengchen faced Armstrong.

Mo Mengchen generally likes to physically bully a guard who is less than 190 cm in height, because he was used to being bullied with his body in the early years, and now he can't help but go up to a guy who is shorter or thinner than himself. one time.

With his size and tonnage, most point guards in the league have difficulty finding rhythm in his physical confrontation.

Mo Mengchen knocked away Armstrong and broke in unreasonably. Grant wanted to foul, but Mo Mengchen avoided his collision, hit the ground and passed the ball, and assisted Wallace for a dunk.

11 is better than 8
Pence has the ball in his hands again.

This time, he attacked from the low post. Hardaway first determined that the Pistons could not double-team him, and then found that Houston's low-post defense had serious problems, and he did not block the bottom line.

Penny turned around easily, almost disintegrating Houston's defense. While occupying his position, Houston still refused to retreat. The bodies of two grown men are so close to each other, which is very dangerous in a basketball game.

Hardaway jumps up for the shot, Houston is bound to destroy his cylinder, the whistle blows, and Penny misses.

Before the free throw, Mo Mengchen gathered the people for a meeting.

"Don't worry about being broken by him, trust Rashid and Ben!" These words were mainly for Houston.

Houston listened to his words, and Hardaway made two free throws to narrow the point difference to 1 point.

10 is better than 11
In the frontcourt, the Pistons V-shaped position.

Seeing that his teammate's position has been determined, Hill gave up the low position and ran to the outside. After meeting Mo Mengchen's eyes, he approached suddenly, handed over the ball, and then used Mo Mengchen as a cover to bypass Nick. Anderson, force on Armstrong.

Armstrong couldn't even stand Mo Mengchen's confrontation, so how could he fight against Hill?
This is a tragedy.

Hill breaks through and the space is open. If you want to prevent him from attacking the penalty area, the Magic's outside line needs to shrink, and as long as the defense shrinks, the three points on the outside of the Pistons-three points in a V-shape position-will Receive the pass in the shortest possible time, and at that point, the Magic have to hope their hands are so bad they can't even make an open [-]-pointer.

This is the essence of the V-shaped position, which allows creators like Mo Mengchen and Hill to have the greatest breakthrough space, and at the same time gives enough alternatives.

It is difficult for the opponent to make a decision in this situation.

With a little hesitation, at Hill's speed, he was in a daze for a second or two in exchange for a dunk.

Hill angrily hit the basket with the ball, 13 to 10.

"Penny, you can take 100 shots, but I guarantee we'll win."

Hill made a dunk, and Mo Mengchen stood outside the three-point line and shouted at Hardaway.

Daly growled and made the players run.

The trouble is that Hardaway's offense failed to shake the Pistons' defense, and they began to adopt a strategy of anti-shooting but not anti-burst, seducing Penny to break through.

First of all, you must know that Penny's strength lies in his excellent sudden shots, outstanding vision, and no technical weaknesses, but his breakthrough and explosive power are not as good as Hill's.

He can't tear apart the defense in one step with his explosive power like Hill, and relies more on changes in rhythm to find cutting opportunities.

If the opponent doesn't give him a shot, he has to break through every time he attacks, which will consume a lot of energy.

This is why Mo Mengchen reminded Houston not to let him shoot no matter what.

Shooting is the most energy-saving offense, and once the energy is low, the shooting percentage will also drop. In the end, Penny only has the option of breaking through.

"Come on, do as you like, and have a blast."

Mo Mengchen stood behind the scenes like a devil, watching the pawns of the enemy and us move as expected.

Hardaway and Grant are at the free throw line, and Armstrong dribbles across half court.

Suddenly, Grant had no ball to cover at the free throw line, and Hardaway ran to the outside to get the ball.

Want to play singles again?

Houston was taken aback.

"No!" Mo Mengchen shouted, "Be careful of Grant!"

late!

Hardaway snorted coldly and lobbed the ball to Grant who cut back to the basket after helping Penny cover.

The Pistons' penalty area was empty and deserted, and Grant dunked with the ball.

12 is better than 13
Hardaway tapped lightly at Grant.

This pass meant more than an assist.

Mo Mengchen picked up the ball, and it was not surprising that he could respond to Penny like this. If not, how could the media rank Hardaway in front of him?

An arrogant person like Mo Mengchen usually finds it difficult to accept that someone is better than him.

For the position of point guard, if he had to choose someone in front of him, he would choose Penny.

Although he played at the No. 2 position this season.

Mo Mengchen took the ball to the frontcourt and called Hill to get the ball.

As soon as he got the ball, Hill was free to make a choice, play alone or activate tactics, or pass the ball to others.

He saw Mo Mengchen run in after passing him the ball, and when he passed the off-ball screen, his body smashed Armstrong hard, and it was a pretty vicious impact.

Poor Armstrong is only 183 centimeters and 77 kilograms, how can he compare with Mo Mengchen who is 197 centimeters and 87 kilograms?

Mo Mengchen's long-planned collision knocked him to the ground on the spot.

The moment Armstrong fell to the ground, Mo Mengchen quickly backed away, one step or two, he had calculated his position extremely accurately.

Just as his foot exited the three-point line, Hill's pass was in place.

Just as Armstrong stood up, Mo Mengchen's ball flew out of his fingertips.

"Shh!"

Mo Mengchen sneered and said, "If you don't want to die, change someone to defend me!"

Armstrong looked angry. Mo Mengchen's off-ball charge just now was definitely a foul, but the referee ignored it.

This fucking is their home field, and they let this bastard do whatever he wants!

What is frustrating is that Armstrong didn't know how to respond to Mo Mengchen.

Neither is spraying back, and neither is asking for the ball to come back.

No matter which method is used, it will invite a more brutal response from the other party.

Daly began to notice that Mo Mengchen's attack and defense against Armstrong had changed, with high-intensity pressure and tyrant-like trash talking.

Mo Mengchen's usual trick, he will use this method to collapse the opponent.Some people lose their minds because of it.No matter what the result is, it will make the team of that person suffer a lot.

The head coach had to make adjustments.

Daly does not believe in Armstrong's mental capacity, but he will not make substitutions unless it is absolutely necessary.

Anyway, Armstrong is also a player who has been tested in the regular season.

Daly was thinking so, but Mo Mengchen teamed up with Hill to snatch the ball from Armstrong's hand.

What happened afterwards is needless to say.

There is no possibility of missing the counterattack that Mo Mengchen and Devil Mountain followed up at the same time.

Armstrong's face was pale, as if he had seen a vicious ghost.

"Ugh"

Daly sighed, they lost a good comrade who has been tested in the regular season.
