You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 533 Chaoju’s Activation Method (asking for a recommendation ticket for a new book)

"What happened to you and Bruce Bowen?"

Many people are very concerned about this matter. Judging from the matchup between Mo Mengchen and Bowen, it seems that the action is a bit bigger, and there is no excessive contact. Why did they suddenly lose control?

At the end of halftime, the reporters on the scene interviewed Mo Mengchen.

To this matter, Mo Mengchen replied: "I'm not Bruce Bowen, I can't tell you what he went through."

The reporter couldn't get any inside story about this matter from Mo Mengchen's mouth.

In the commentary booth, the three commentators were also discussing this matter.

Vinier Johnson defended his calf to the end: "Whatever Dor.Mo did, he didn't throw a punch, he justified his opponent."

Ernie Johnson smiled and asked Smith beside him, "Kenny, you were teammates with Dor.Mo for a year, what do you think?"

Smith shook his head.

"That was two years ago, you know, a lot can happen in two years," he said.

Two years can take a team from defeat in the first round to defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Two years can take a person from harsh to harsher.

Smith is right, Mo Mengchen has indeed changed, his aggression and aggressiveness have increased day by day, and it scares all players who cannot compete with him at the same level.

Bowen punched Mo Mengchen but failed. Although he didn't hurt anyone else, punching has become a fact, and the alliance can't let it go.

He will be suspended for three starts, and this result is tantamount to a disaster for Rick Pitino.

Duncan and Bowen's defense complement each other, and the two of them can cooperate with each other.

If Bowen can't play, the Celtics' defense will become the standard of the regular season again, and the frontcourt pressing strategy will become Mo Mengchen's show again.

In such a situation, Pitino can only give up the frontcourt pressing that he has insisted on for a long time.

"From now on, let's let go of the fight!"

Remembering Mo Mengchen's provocation against him in the first half, Pitino became angry and shouted: "Don't let Dor.Mo play wild on our heads!"

"Fuck them!" Walker roared.

At the end of the first half, the difference between the two teams was 15 points.

68 is better than 53
No matter how you look at it, this is a big gap.

In the second half, Dell Curry started at No. 2, Walker played at No. 3, and Dana Barros at No. 1.

The Celtics fired first. Curry played off the ball with Duncan on the left corner. Houston wanted to entangle him.

Curry cut to the outside to get the ball. Seeing that Houston didn't keep up, he knew that the opportunity had come and he couldn't miss it. He opened his hand and shot.

hit!

56 is better than 68
Mo Mengchen, who had offended the Celtics inside and out in the first half, now dribbled the ball across the half court, facing the Celtics' thinnest guard, he could rely on his body to force him, but he didn't do so.

Rashid ran out to cover, Duncan was angry with Mo Mengchen, and he didn't want him to play tactics anyway, and always kept his position. As long as Mo Mengchen had any ideas about the offense inside the three-point line, he would use the highly praised Single defense let him return without success.

Duncan cared too much about Mo Mengchen. Seeing that Mo Mengchen didn't intend to use the pick-and-roll to break through, Rashid frowned and conveyed his thoughts: how about a blind spot cut in?
Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball sideways, his expression remained unchanged, and the meaning was already expressed clearly: please go ahead.

Taking advantage of Duncan's unpreparedness, Rashid suddenly turned around and ran back. This time, he was fully prepared. When Shifo found out that the backyard was on fire, it was too late, and Mo Mengchen stood where he was and hung the ball up.

When Rashid ran to the basket, the basketball just passed. He caught the ball with one hand, jumped up and dunked.

70 is better than 56
"I'm really flattered by your defense." Mo Mengchen patted his ass and ran away.

Shifo, who has always been as resolute as a rock, became more and more angry, and he wanted to vent his anger on Bowen.

He had never seen any grown man express his inner emotions in front of everyone—such as crying bitterly—and during the intermission, Bowen cried bitterly in the locker room.

Mo Mengchen destroyed him.

Pitino made it clear that he would not give up on Bowen and let him be strong, but who knows if he can still cheer up?He had a bright future, but after tonight, everything changed.

This hateful bastard, he ruined Bowen's future!
With his blood pressure rising due to anger, Duncan, who lost his mind, was not afraid of Rashid's winding defense. His broad and powerful back like an ape pushed Rashid away, and Burrows threw the ball into his arms.

Duncan roared, strode out, had already reached the restricted area, jumped up and wanted to dunk.

This is another weakness of Duncan that can be counted or not.

Duncan's physical fitness is not as outstanding as imagined, and it is much worse than Ben Wallace, a jumping man who relies on bullet speed for his food.

The unfounded nickname of Flying Devil makes people think that Duncan was a monster who went to heaven and earth when he was young, but he was not.

This nickname is the team name of Wake Forest University, not Duncan's nickname at all, it's just a rumor.

Duncan used an offensive method that was very unlike him. Wallace seized the opportunity and jumped forward, faster and higher than Duncan, and then intercepted Shifo's dunk with both hands.

"Big Ben~~~!!!"

The DJ at the scene drove the atmosphere, the ball flew to the outside, and Antoine Walker happened to pick up an offensive rebound.

The entire Celtics team is in an atmosphere of anger and despair. Even Duncan has been blocked from the front. Can anyone save them from the fire?

"Leave it to me!" Walker yelled, defying Hill's defense, and made a super difficult three-pointer at the buzzer from a zero-degree angle.

Hill's defense has been the best, and Walker's three-pointer scratched a shocking arc as the offensive time ran out.

The ball counts!

Walker punched and shouted.

The blood of the soldiers has not yet flowed in!

The Green Army is not dead yet!

"TD, cheer up, I'm pointing at you!" Walker yelled, patting Duncan on the back.

Duncan actually doesn't like Walker, who has no defense and takes up a lot of possessions and has low offensive efficiency, but now, he really needs the encouragement of others.

No matter how mature he is, this is the second year of his career.

His teammates on the court were violently treated but it was difficult for him to stand out, which made him painful. The moment he was blocked by Ben Wallace, he discovered that playing basketball was so painful for the first time.

Now, he can breathe.

He is not alone.

Mo Mengchen regretted not being able to defeat the Celtics in one breath. Walker's fairy-like negative-angle three-pointer just now was like a nine-turn elixir, bringing the Celtics back to life.

It's not that that goal can help them win the game, but that through that goal, Duncan found that the teammates around him are trustworthy.

He has been trapped in Pitino's system, unable to exert his full strength, and finally got the opportunity to express himself. He was too self-centered on the court, but he forgot one of the most valuable traits he showed in college: selflessness.

Barros defended fearfully. He was in a difficult situation because he had to face Mo Mengchen.

This guy has already shut out three Celtics tonight.

He doesn't want to be the fourth.

Fortunately, Mo Mengchen was not interested in ending Dana Burrows, and it was beneficial to them to keep such a small guard on the field.

At least it can guarantee that he can blow up the opponent at any time.

Mo Mengchen called for Wallace to pick and roll, Ukrainian train gave up and stepped forward, he bet that Mo Mengchen would not shoot.

"What a big mistake."

If he doesn't step forward, Wallace can do a complete pick-and-roll, jam Barros, and let Mo Mengchen get a luxurious opening.

"NO!"

Pitino called out, it was worse than letting Mo Mengchen break through.

Outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Mo Mengchen responded with a three-pointer.

73 is better than 59
Still 14 points behind.

Antoine Walker started with a three-pointer at the buzzer from a negative angle, exploded without warning, went up the pick-and-roll and cut in, and Burrows waved the ball to him.

Walker raised his long arms to take the ball, and faced Wallace inside. With his height advantage, he leaned firmly against Big Ben and hit the hook with a hook.

Walker excitedly raised his hands to flex his muscles.

Hill decided to fight back, and got the basketball by running. His crotch changed direction as quickly as a gust of wind, and Fat Toutuo lost points faster than he gained them.

The moment Hill passed him, Duncan was ready to cover the big brother.

Shi Fu failed to wait for Devil Mountain on the inside.

Because Devil Hills threw the ball from the outside, this shot shows how smooth the Pistons' offense has been during this time.

Without Bruce Bowen, the Celtics' perimeter defense was riddled with holes.

Walker's state exploded, and the Pistons also opened up their offense.

It is mainly reflected in Hill, Houston and Rasheed's singles with the ball, catch and shoot and screen cuts.

They were all in good condition, and Mo Mengchen naturally retreated to the second line, and he only needed to pass the ball to solve the problem.

His vision and big picture are fully reflected in these few minutes.

3 minutes before the end of the third quarter.

The Pistons led the Celtics by 88 points 72 to 16, and Westphal replaced Mo Mengchen and Hill in good time to rest.

This substitution allowed the Celtics to see an opportunity.

Pitino let Duncan play the entire third quarter and concentrated the ball in his hands after Mo Mengchen and Hill were both out.

Duncan also lived up to the high expectations of the coach. For three consecutive rounds, all offenses were scored, and the defensive end continued to play the mainstay role, continuously creating a no-fly zone in the penalty area of ​​the Celtics to prevent outside breakthroughs.

The Pistons missed shots several times, and the Celtics magically chased the point difference to 10 points at the end of the third quarter.

90 is better than 80
Sitting off the court, Mo Mengchen drank Gatorade slowly.

It seems that the Celtics finally know how to use Duncan.

You must know that a coach as strong as Popovich did not study any tactics for Duncan early in his career.

A smart coach should know that the only way for a superstar to play 100% of his strength is to let him play the full 48 minutes and take most of the team's shots.

Poor Rick Pitino has coached the Celtics for half a year, and he didn't know this until now.
