You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 527 The Stone Buddha Unsealed (Ask for a recommendation ticket for a new book)

After the start of the semifinals, Mo Mengchen paid close attention to the situation in the West.

The Trail Blazers faced the Lakers in the semifinals.

This season, the Lakers had a poor record and only won No.5 in the Western Conference. They only won four games in the first round with the fourth-ranked Suns. Relying on O'Neal's unsolvable dominance in the penalty area, they successfully advanced to the semifinals.

In the first match against the Trail Blazers in the semifinals, according to the video, Mo Mengchen discovered that the Blazers were completely the nemesis of the Lakers.

Especially when Kobe has not yet grown into an unsolvable superstar, this is even more obvious.

It was difficult for Kobe to open up the situation outside, so O'Neal had to fight against the Blazers' luxurious inside group alone.

The two insiders, Webber and Sabonis, have a longer range than the other. This is the insider that O'Neal hates the most.

Sabonis is still 224 cm tall. He can also bring a lot of defensive pressure when defending one-on-one on the inside. The offense shoots from the outside and the defense takes turns to top the inside. O'Neal's physical strength is not very good. , After a match, he felt that all the strength in his body was drained.

The Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers by 18 points in the away game.

In the East, the Pistons easily defeated the Magic in the first game, and some people have predicted that they will sweep the Magic 4-0.

The well-known local media "Detroit Worker" even published an article in its latest report that is enough to ruin the character of eight people in the Motor City.

The article is titled "Motor City is on the road to revival, the semi-finals are scheduled to be 4-0!".

The article narrates the glorious past of the Pistons with detailed historical materials, and then draws out Mo Mengchen and Hill, touting them as the next generation of Uranus in the NBA.

It almost blows people to grandma's house.

Anyone who reads this article will have a feeling: If the Pistons don't win the championship this year, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth!
You are all so strong, why don't you win the championship?Don't you feel ashamed?

That's pretty much what it feels like.

This article became the main argument for opponents to attack the Pistons.

Moreover, the most violent attacks came from within Detroit, where the Red Wings were eager to bring up last year's events.

"I remember at this time last year, the media exaggerated even more. The result? The results are not based on bragging. Have you seen our Stanley Cup? This is the real achievement, no need to brag, no need to publicize, Here they are, shining brightly."

Keir Patrick, the frontrunner for next mayor, also showed his support for the Red Wings.

As a political star in Detroit, he knows how crucial it is to win the support of the Red Wings. One-third of Detroit residents are fans of the Red Wings. His choice to stand with the Red Wings is crucial to his future campaign important.

And a very important point is that because of his former NBA star status, his competitor Dave Bing is destined to be impossible to stand on the side of the Red Wings.

He was tied to the Pistons long before he entered politics.

According to many people, in the foreseeable future, Red Wings fans will be the mainstream of Detroit. They have achievements, are at the peak, and have amazing influence. Show kindness to the Red Wings.

Patrick is on the Red Wings side, and he seems to have some particular issues with the Pistons.

"I don't like basketball, and I don't watch their games very much, but I heard some things about them on the court. I think those things will damage Detroit's external image." Patrick smiled with a standard politician, kindly and kindly , seems to be the best person in the world.

"Sorry, this is my personal opinion, which may hurt some people, and I regret it."

After Patrick made this remark, the local media in Detroit began to spontaneously attack the Pistons for their aggressive style on the court.

Dave Bing stood up overnight: "I like Keith's frankness. He said he doesn't like basketball, so I can infer from this that he doesn't watch basketball games at all."

"The game of basketball is a game of confrontation. We rely on our feet and hands to win. Physical contact is inevitable. Any team will use fierce confrontation. This is a legitimate way to win. I don't know why. , How come there are so many guys who don't watch the game and point fingers at it?" Bin also had a smile that belonged to a politician, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak."

Club disputes rose to the interests of politicians.

This matter has also sparked extensive discussions among the players.

They were angry about Keith Patrick's comments, and everyone wanted to speak up for Dave Bing.

Bing's retired jersey is flying over the Palace of Auburn Hills. Now they can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope, and they should take care of each other.

As a result, Mo Mengchen, who should speak out the most, asked the team statistician Douglas Sheed to take away the Game 1 videotape of the Celtics and Pacers on the day of the incident.

The Pacers have the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, followed by the Celtics.

The Celtics swept the Eagles in the first round and faced the Pacers in the second round. Before the game, Mo Mengchen believed that the Pacers would win the first matchup.

They played against each other in the regular season. In terms of strength, the Pacers should be stronger than the Celtics. They have more players and there is no obvious aging. On the other hand, the Celtics have only one Duncan-although Duncan is very strong, Can't stand Pitino can ruin it-in the end, they lost the first game.

At this point, they lost home court advantage.

This is critical, as if the Magic also wanted to win Game [-].

For the team in the back position, winning the first game is extremely critical.

The way the late-position teams treat the first two games of the series is mostly to steal a game from the opponent's home court, as long as they destroy the opponent's home court advantage, and then return to the home court to grind slowly.

If you can't steal the opponent's home court advantage, or even play ugly in the opponent's home court, and return to your own home court, the pressure you will face will be unimaginable.

Mo Mengchen sat alone in the video analysis room, only him.

He put the DVD videotape in it.

The game started.

It's still Pitino's frontcourt pressing strategy, which has proven unworkable in the NBA.

The NCAA has limited talents. Although talented high school students join the league every year to deepen the talent pool of the league, there are many schools in the first-level league, and more and more students have dropped out recently. The template of four years of hard work in college, honing various skills to maturity before going to the NBA has been eliminated.

Teams value potential, geniuses want to make money early, the best of both worlds, the school is injured, and the talent of the league is also diluted.

Therefore, Pitino's frontcourt pressing strategy can be effectively implemented.

Lacking absolute talent, those players who lack talent rely on hard work to build up their bodies, plus a few years of running-in, they can naturally rely on pressing to make the teams lose their temper.

But the NBA is different. The world's top talents are gathered here.

Want to press and kill someone?That was a joke.

In the NBA, the press is a tool, a tactic, a demonstration, a last-ditch effort.

"Bowen is on the starting lineup?"

Mo Mengchen found a problem.

In addition to keeping the frontcourt tight, which is characteristic of Pitino's tactics, the Celtics' style of play has completely changed.

Mo Mengchen only watched the first quarter.

Duncan played 8 minutes, and during these 8 minutes, he dominated 90% of the ball.

Either he was attacking, or he was used as an offensive starting point to attract double-team passes. Pitino used Duncan as Malone, but the Celtics did not have Stockton.

"Even if you take precautions in advance, it's too early for you."

Hill walked into the room and interrupted Mo Mengchen's thoughts.

Mo Mengchen glanced at him dissatisfied: "I have something to say."

"Here." Hill handed Mo Mengchen the report of Keith Patrick's interview.

Mo Mengchen glanced at the newspaper and said, "Just for this?"

Hill, a pacifist, had a fighting spirit on his face: "How can we swallow our anger and let it be smeared?"

"So you decided to put your limited strength here? No training, no thinking about the game, no research on opponents, and a spat with these poor bastards who do anything for votes during the playoffs?"

The more shocked Mo Mengchen's expression was, the greater the blow to Hill.

Devil Mountain suddenly felt that he was so stupid.

Indeed, why bother with politicians?
"You want to help Dave, I can understand, but this is not the way to help." Mo Mengchen said.

Hill looked up and asked, "Then how do you want to help?"

At this time, the screams of the commentator came from the TV.

"Tim Duncan grabs the offensive rebound!"

"Rick Schmitz guards him!"

"Beautiful, his hook is so beautiful!"

Mo Mengchen asked lightly: "What do you think?"

Hill was self-explanatory, and he also sat down: "Did you find anything?"

"Just look at it and you'll know." Mo Mengchen said.

The two finished the second quarter of the game like this.

Duncan's performance was dominant, and the Pacers' black and white monsters were much inferior to him. He was already the No. [-] pick in his sophomore year. In his junior year, the entire NBA was waiting for his decision. The four supernovas who participated in the election were finally unsealed, releasing his infinite energy.

In the third quarter, Dale Davis was beaten with five fouls, and Bird was so angry that he asked Schmitz to defend Duncan.

As a result, Duncan gave up his back and bullied Schmitz to move slowly, holding the ball to the basket and attacking with one step, catching one ball and hitting one ball, completely blowing up the Pacers' inside line.

"This" Hill opened his mouth, he was shocked.

The Pistons claim to have a deep inside lineup, but facing a super inside lineup like Duncan, no matter how deep they are, isn't it one for one?
Mo Mengchen looked serious, and suddenly said: "We need a scouting report for Tim Duncan."

"Scout report?" Hill asked, "Does this guy have any weaknesses?"

He and Mo Mengchen watched two quarters together. In these two quarters, the content of the game Duncan showed was amazing.

There are no dead ends, mid-range jumpers, low-post attacks on the left and right sides, both left and right hands can hold the ball one or two steps behind the basket, and can distribute the ball when double-teamed.

What scouting report do you want?Where is this guy's weakness?
