You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 530 This tight audience is not tight at all (ask for a recommendation ticket for a new book)

April 5

Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Pistons are strong, and the Celtics are the only team in the East that still has a chance to stop them.

Tonight's game, TNT sent Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith to cooperate with Vinier Johnson for live broadcast.

The Pistons played against the Celtics in the regular season, but the Celtics at that time did not show the strength to reach the Eastern Conference Finals at all.

At that time, they were just an ordinary playoff team. With a superstar like Duncan in the lineup, the lower limit was not much lower.

It's just that their upper limit is limited.

In the playoffs, Rick Pitino finally let go of his last stubbornness and focused on Duncan as the core. In addition to retaining the old calendar of pressing in the frontcourt, the tactical system at both ends of the offense and defense was completely changed to be dominated by Duncan.

Duncan also proved with his excellent performance that he is indeed worthy of the ball and tactical status given to him by the team.

In order to allow Duncan to play better, the Celtics' starting lineup has also undergone major adjustments.

In addition to Duncan, the other four starters are Antoine Walker, Tony Batty, Bruce Bowen and Marlon Garnett.

Do you think the last name is very domineering?He is indeed domineering, although he has a domineering first and last name, but he is just an undrafted pick, and he has only played in the NBA for one year.

The reason why he started was because Pitino didn't have a better candidate.

Garnett has a height of 188 cm and a weight of 88 kg. Although he is not as tall as Mo Mengchen, he is 1 kg heavier than Mo Mengchen. This is his advantage.

His skills are very poor. Fortunately, the Green Army has changed the starting point of tactics to Duncan, otherwise they will face the same problems as the Magic.

No one is available at position 1.

Every opponent who plays against the Pistons will have similar troubles. Mo Mengchen puts too much pressure on the opponent. As long as the opponent is not a star-level No. 1 position like Penny Peyton Kidd, he can take it in a short time. Opponents crushed.

Most of the people defeated by him will completely lose their fighting spirit, and some people see him like a rabbit sees a snake, and avoid him, so how dare they fight against him?
Garnett hasn't faced Mo Mengchen yet. It's like scratching the lottery. Maybe he can bring surprises, maybe not, the situation can't get worse, and Pitino is willing to take a chance.

"GOGO, Detroit!"

Adrian was quite the star in the front row because he was fat beyond his years.

The referee blows the whistle and the ball is thrown into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Rasheed gave the racket to Hill.

Mo Mengchen accidentally didn't get the ball, but it doesn't matter, Hill's ball and Mo Mengchen's ball have the same effect.

At the beginning of the attack, Hill failed to play a routine quickly, and the Celtics retreated quickly.

Devil Mountain passed the ball to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen held the ball and met the domineering Marlon Garnett.Garnett is also very clear that if he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, tonight is his last chance.

If he can't prove that he can match up with Mo Mengchen, he will lose his last foothold in the NBA.

Seeing that the opponent was a stranger, Mo Mengchen was not in a hurry to attack, and passed the ball to Rasheed, roaring Tianzun to attack the basket, but was blocked by Duncan, so he had to pass the ball to Wallace under the basket.

Wallace came up with the ball, ready to score, and he didn't take Tony Batty's defense seriously.

As the No. 97 pick in the first round in 5, he was abandoned after only one year of playing for the team, which is enough to show that he is a disappointing parallel importer, otherwise the team will definitely try for a few more years. The reason why he was abandoned is because When I saw him, I thought of what I missed because of such a guy—but, he is just a parallel import, not a scumbag. Wallace is so strong, and he doesn't pay attention to the opponent's height of 211 centimeters at all. This is wrong. of.

Batty stretched out his long arms, blocked Wallace's attack face to face, and shouted: "Don't try to play wild here!"

Garnett received the pass from the inside and wanted to push forward. He is 188 cm tall, but his speed is not very fast. Mo Mengchen easily followed, forcing him to stop and wait for the positional battle.

But I didn't expect Walker to follow up quickly, the top of the arc fell to the three-point line, the pass was made in seconds, he pulled up and shot.

3 is better than 0
"Boston is not in a good state," Johnson said. "They still have the momentum of knocking out the Pacers in the semifinals."

The ever-changing frontcourt press.

This pressing made Mo Mengchen laugh, he really didn't know what it meant.

He has already seen Marlon Garnett's speed. With the speed of the opponent, he can't keep up with him at all, but he still insists on pressing in the frontcourt.

It can only be said that Pitino saves face to the extreme, and can make some speculations. For example, such a big change in the Celtics system may not be inspired by Pitino, but from a strong internal will.

Although Pitino holds several major positions, above his head, there is also the team's board of directors, who hold the power of life and death.

How ridiculous is this press?Mo Mengchen will show them right away.

Garnett has a firm expression, the kind of resolute male lead face that can be completely put into Two-dimensional, but unfortunately that's all.

Mo Mengchen accelerated a step, not stronger than Garnett, but stronger than him, like a tornado hitting the land, knocking him away in a blink of an eye, and there was nothing in front of him, no one could stop Mo Mengchen from accelerating.

"So fast!"

This level of talent makes Garnett very envious. Mo Mengchen is nearly 10 centimeters taller than him, but his speed is far faster than him. In front of this level of speed, his tight frontcourt is really a joke.

How can it be prevented?
Garnett was thrown away in a blink of an eye. In the frontcourt, Bowen immediately defended and wanted to stop Mo Mengchen, so he prepared a series of tricks.

As soon as the two met, Mo Mengchen smiled flatly, pulled the ball back in his hand, and then threw it forward with all his strength.

The basketball hit the floor, passed through the Celtics defense, and flew into the palm of Allan Houston, who made a jumper.

2 is better than 3
"This is the first time I've seen such a bad frontcourt press, are you serious?" Mo Mengchen seemed to be mocking the Celtics' defense, but was actually humiliating Pitino's game philosophy.

This is the defensive system that Pitino is famous for. Even if it has been proven to be a failure in the NBA, he does not want to give up. This is his label.

Without this system, he is a mediocre coach in the NBA who has no characteristics and relies on superstars to dawdle.

Pitino's face is reminiscent of Al Pacino's reaction when he heard his wife beat the child in the second part of "The Godfather", with blue tendons looming in his cheeks.

He was very angry.

Duncan asked for his position silently and decided to hit the ball back for the coach.

Rasheed defended from behind, and Duncan received a lob pass from the outside.

No one double-teamed, because the Pacers had double-teamed him countless times in the semifinals, allowing Duncan to average 6 assists per game.

With two hits in a row, Duncan's offensive momentum looked like he was going to use a pure inside back. Rasheed was also pure and did not consider other factors.

The third back hit failed to arrive as expected. Duncan turned his footsteps, adjusted his direction, and his body touched the back-up state. He turned to face the basket, propped up his body with his left foot, and took a step inward with his right foot, driving his body off the ground. Rashid Too slow to react, and by the time he found out what Duncan was doing, it was too late.

A dunk, the referee whistle.

Rashid made a defensive foul and the goal was valid!

"NO!!"

cried Rasheed.

Just as he was about to have an attack, Ben Wallace hurried over to pull him away, and comforted him nicely by his side.

"I didn't foul at all!" Rasheed exclaimed unwillingly.

"I know I know.." Wallace said I know a dozen times in half a minute.

Still pressing.

They probably don't know how to write dead.

Mo Mengchen took the ball with a smile. Pitino's frontcourt pressing routine is used to putting two people in the frontcourt, pinching the ball holder when necessary, and putting another person in the midfield to prevent the opponent's long pass or in the first line of defense. Block it in time after being broken.

Because Mo Mengchen's speed was too fast, Garnett's defense was described as ineffective, and Antoine Walker was forced to clean up before he had time to help defend.

Bowen wanted to stop Mo Mengchen from advancing in the midfield, and the same sentence: Mo Mengchen is too fast.

Within five seconds, Mo Mengchen broke through two lines of defense. There was no one on the three-point line. He stopped directly on the outside, pulled up and shot a three-pointer.

Hollow into the basket.

Listening to the cheers from the audience, Mo Mengchen came to Pitino's side and said, "Although your crowd press is not tight at all, it's enough for me to play all night."

"Please keep this defense, I love this." Mo Mengchen nodded approvingly at Pitino like an idol seducing fans.

Pitino was furious: "The bastard!"

He is unwilling to abandon his consistent defensive system, which will also become the biggest variable in the game.

Since the Celtics' frontcourt press basically had zero restrictions on Mo Mengchen, Mo Mengchen became the protagonist of the game in the 7 minutes he played in the first quarter.

The Pistons' offense is downright simplistic.

Mo Mengchen took it, quickly broke through the two lines of defense, shot or scored in the frontcourt, and the offense was over.

It was this style of play that gave the Pistons a 16-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

38 is better than 22
"After a game like this, if Rick Pitino still doesn't know what the problem is, then I think Boston should change the head coach after the season." Kenny Smith said half-jokingly.

Even the fans can see that the Celtics "this full-court press is not tight at all", can Pitino not see it?

Just unwilling and unwilling.

Mo Mengchen sat off the court and watched them lead by 16 points after the first quarter.

It seems that there is no need to be afraid of Duncan in advance?
Because the Pacers don't have a defender as fast as Mo Mengchen, they can't grab Pitino's weakness in the frontcourt and hit hard.

If Pitino still does not intend to change this strategy, the Celtics will undoubtedly be slaughtered by the Pistons at home tonight.
