You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 528 From Selfless to Selfish (ask for a recommendation ticket for a new book)

In the semifinals of the playoffs, Game 2 between the Pistons and the Magic, the results still did not change.

Penny scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists alone. The Magic lost 34 points in Auburn Hills.

"Such a huge gap turned Pence's stunning performance into a joke."

With a gloomy face, Hadaway saw Mo Mengchen walking towards him.

Mo Mengchen defeated the Magic's third point guard tonight.

That person was Doug Overton, a veteran player who entered the league in 1991, and he was still vulnerable to Mo Mengchen, and suffered a huge blow both mentally and physically.

After such a round of changes, the Magic's No. 1 position has been completely changed.

Mo Mengchen is like a killer, he treats the same kind mercilessly, and uses the most tragic way to attack.

"Mo, it's not over yet!"

Hadaway's expression was gloomy, and he was already extremely angry. In Mo Mengchen's view, his anger was not threatening at all.

The reason why he was angry was because he couldn't find any way to relieve the pain in his heart other than being angry.

"The series is indeed not over yet. According to the rules, we have to win four games." Mo Mengchen said defiantly, "So, you have two games left in this season, enjoy yourself."

Pence's anger was aroused: "We will definitely defend the home court!"

"Half a month ago, Allen Iverson told me the same thing. Guess what happened next?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.

Their guarantee is not very powerful. With Jordan's retirement, the strength of the East has degraded seriously, and the impact of the lockout is too great.

This season, there are really few teams in the East that can compete with the Pistons.

The Magic only rely on Penny, and they just make the scene look better, just like these two games.

Another match, the result was no surprise.

In the West, the Blazers beat the Lakers again, leading 2-0.

In the East, after the Celtics struggled in overtime, Duncan scored 40 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists, winning two consecutive games at the Pacers' home court, becoming the biggest surprise in the semifinals.

A team with home court advantage has lost two games in a row at home, which is basically one foot into the abyss.

If the loss in the first game of the series was due to an encounter and they didn't know each other well enough, it would be understandable to lose.

After the first fierce battle, but lost the second game in a row, it was a matter of strength.

Home field advantage is a factor that cannot be ignored. If you can't win at home, how can you expect to beat your opponent away?
The situation in the east is already clear.

These two teams are facing each other, and one side is that the Magic can't recover. Unless Penny evolves into the best player in history in a few days-no one knows how good he needs to be to beat the Pistons-otherwise they will be greeted with 4-0. Sweep; for the Pacers, their only hope is that Duncan will suddenly have an epic fragment in the next few games, or be cruel, and it may be more effective to let Duncan get injured.

Their proud insider group, led by Rick Schmitz and Dale Davis, was smashed by Duncan from the beginning to the end. The cut 2+40 is a little better.

The inside line was blasted like this, and Miller and others on the outside line were not superstars with both offensive and defensive skills and comprehensive skills. It is not surprising to lose at all.

Some people began to imagine how Duncan would play against the Pistons' inside group.

Then, the time came to Game3 Match Day.

On this day, the league announced the winners of the best team and best defensive team.

Pence, Iverson, Hill, Duncan and Mourning were selected for the first team of the best team.

Kidd, Mo Mengchen, Webber, Malone, and O'Neal were selected for the second team of the best team.

And this year's All-Defensive First Team rarely has six players selected.

They are Duncan, Payton, Mourning, Pippen, Hill and Malone. Because Hill scored the same score as Pipen, the two were rarely selected to the All-Defensive First Team at the same time.

This year has been a bumper year for Hill, and it's been a bumper year for Mourning.

Mourning not only overwhelmed O'Neal to be selected for the first team, but also won the best defensive player of the year. Unfortunately, he did not perform well in the playoffs. He encountered Penny's Magic in the first round and was swept home by the opponent in four games.

Because of Mourning's performance, some people called for the best team to take the playoffs into consideration.

Some people think that the best lineup of the playoffs should be launched.

What's more, some people who think about awarding all day are so dazed that they suggest that the league introduce a playoff MVP and a regular season MVP to distinguish.

While the awards seemed plausible, the league didn't listen to them.

Usually there is a lot of thunder and little rain, because the decision-making power is not in the hands of the people who make the opinions.

Game3, for Magic, this is a battle of life and death.

If they win, they still have a glimmer of hope. If they lose, the sweep is a foregone conclusion.

Because Mo Mengchen was too oppressive on the No. 1 position, Daly made an amazing adjustment: Penny returned to the No. 1 position.

When Penny entered the industry, he used the 201 cm pure point guard as a selling point. Brian Hill, then the head coach of the Magic, also made a rare and correct decision in his career. He supported Penny to play point guard and swollen those Think "Penny is tall and skinny and shoots shaky and wants to play point guard are you fucking kidding me?" collective face.

This fight has lasted for several years, and he has basically locked in the position of point guard.

This position allows him to concentrate the ball in his hands and organize the offense according to his own ideas, but it also blocks his potential offensive firepower.

Chuck Daly, who had been against Jordan for five or six years, discovered Penny's suppressed offensive flames, overthrew Hill's use of Penny in one fell swoop, and put him in the 2nd position.

With Pence's height, even playing the 2nd position has an advantage. This move completely transformed Pence and made him what he is now.

Daly persisted from the first game of the regular season to tonight. If Mo Mengchen hadn't been too aggressive, he would not have allowed Penny to return to the No. 1 position.

They really couldn't find a better candidate to fight against Mo Mengchen.

After Penny switched to the 2nd position, the 1st position is weak, and the inside line has been bad since the Sharks left. This is the problem the Magic are currently facing, and it is also a problem they urgently need to improve during the offseason.

Penny, who returned to position 1, continued to perform top-notch. That night, he scored a triple-double against Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen couldn't defend against Penny, and his response was to keep assisting. The Magic's firepower was difficult to last until the end, but the Pistons' offense was always enthusiastic.

Whether Daly admits it or not, tonight's game is the closest they have come to winning.

Maybe from the beginning, Penny should play point guard.

For the Pistons, Mo Mengchen must be contained.

In tonight's game, the Magic still had hope in the last 5 minutes.

In the last minute, Penny made a pass error, and Mo Mengchen made a three-pointer in the frontcourt; Hill grabbed the rebound and counterattacked to score more than ten seconds later; Penny dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and missed a three-pointer, and the game ended up.

118 is better than 110
With a gap of 8 points, the Pistons beat the Magic again, with a big score of 3 to 0, holding four match points.

这一战，便士砍下29分14篮板10助攻，莫蒙尘得到16分6篮板15助攻。

His performance overwhelmed Mo Mengchen, but the team's strength was too weak.

"It's frustrating to play like this."

"Pence is already doing his best on both ends of the floor."

"This summer, Penny will become a completely free player. He can freely decide whether to stay or not. With Orlando's current configuration, it may be difficult for him to stay."

"It is said that Pence has already had a falling out with the management. The team doctor incident a few years ago has not subsided until now. The grievances between the two sides are difficult to eliminate."

The narrator chirped.

With cold eyes, Penny turned and walked towards the players' tunnel.

"Penny, you're playing well," Daly told him.

Hardaway looked at the head coach coldly and said, "It's good, but it's not enough. No matter how good it is, it's not enough."

The penny in front of him made Daly feel strange. When he first came to Orlando, Hardaway treated him like a second father and obeyed him. Now, his psychology has undergone an irreversible change.

Reminiscent of what the narrator said, Daly's heart was shady.

He turned Penny from a boy to a man.

He went from mild to harsh, and he will turn around to pursue glory and victory in order to change the fate of constant failure.

Before the fourth match of the semi-finals, Mo Mengchen was given one task that he had never seen before.

This task is called: Sweep the opponent.

They haven't swept their opponents in the semi-finals before. This is also one of the achievements of the achievement wall. After completing this achievement, he can get 5 attribute points. He just doesn't know how much he will get in return if he completes this task. no more?
If the third game is a battle of life and death, then this is a battle of honor.

Friends who like to watch national football games must know what this means.

Hardaway's face was stern. He was still playing point guard, but he wasn't the selfless point guard who used to let his teammates take the lead and take over when everyone couldn't play.

He's more like those offensive 20s who can only play point guards because of their lack of height 1 years later.

This night, Penny had 0 assists.

The whole team had the ball in one body, and Penny blasted Mo Mengchen to scum on the offensive end, because he found the touch on the outside, which made the Pistons powerless on the defensive end.

With the terrifying offensive performance, the suspense of this game was once again dragged to the end.

15 seconds before the end of the game, Penny shook off Hill and rode an archery to tie the score.

After a timeout, Mo Mengchen caught the ball and played a scalpel tactic.

After a complex movement, in the last three seconds, Alan Houston appeared in the correct position.

Three years ago, in the same position, Houston, who persisted in the game with injuries, was knocked down by Nick Anderson, thus missing the game-winning goal, but now, the situation is completely different.

Rasheed set him a nice screen, and Anderson couldn't get close.

Houston took the ball and made a shot at the buzzer at the last second.

A textbook mid-range jumper flew into the basket under the eyes of everyone, and Penny's hard work all night came to naught!

"The second 4-0, Detroit completed another sweep! The playoffs have won all eight games so far, and advanced to the Eastern Conference finals!"

"This time, there will be no Chicago Bulls standing in their way!"

"This time, they are eager to win and are determined to defeat any opponent who stands in their way!"

That night, Hardaway scored 50 points and 9 rebounds, without assists, and only relied on his personal ability to drag the game to the end.

Penny fans can say that the Magic lost, but Penny didn't.

Because he blows up every opposing opponent.

Three years ago, the Pistons fumbled a pass with the final seven seconds, and Nick Anderson snapped back and killed that series.

After the match, Penny smiled and told Mo Mengchen to come back next year.

Unexpectedly, this farewell was postponed for three years.

Moreover, the Magic that beat the Pistons at the beginning has also changed its look.

Reaching the Eastern Conference Finals again, Mo Mengchen was in an indescribably comfortable mood. He actually didn't care who his opponent was in the conference finals.

All he knew was that they were at a delicate juncture, they were in perfect condition, and they were invincible.

Penny looked sullen and didn't say a word.

Mo Mengchen came to him.

He decided to return the sentence three years ago intact.

"Penny, come back next year." Mo Mengchen said.

Penny gave Mo Mengchen a hard look, he obviously knew the meaning of this sentence.

He turned around and walked straight into the player tunnel, leaving a sentence: "I will be back!"

Penny, who is no longer selfless, is stronger than before, and more people are concerned about his whereabouts in the summer.

Most people outside of Orlando believe that Hardaway has played his last game as a Magic player.
