You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 539 This is the only way

Just looking at the content of the game, there is nothing surprising about the Celtics' performance.

The stalemate with the Pistons all depends on a strong effort. The whole team is desperate. No matter who plays, they give their all. This is the reason why they can still maintain the lead at the end of the first quarter.

31 is better than 27
The Celtics led by 4 points.

Duncan played 10 minutes in the first quarter and then played in the second quarter after a 2-minute break.

For the Pistons, Westphal sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Although the Celtics played fiercely and fiercely, he did not lose his sense of proportion.

The Celtics have four main players and one substitute. On the Pistons side, there is only Alan Houston as the main player on the court, and the other four are Dumars, Davis, Williams and Pollard.

Even with four rotations, the Pistons did not show any obvious weakness in combat power.

For example, in this round, Dumars faced Dana Barros, the only substitute on the Pistons field, and accelerated his swing to pass this opponent who had no speed or body.

You know, although Dumas is only 191 cm tall, he had to gain weight to 2 kg in his early years in order to match the Smiling Assassin's No. His role in the team has been weakened repeatedly, and his weight once exceeded 86 kilograms last season.

This season is his last season, the team has traded away Bobby Jackson, and Mo Mengchen has no substitute.

Regardless of the considerations, the team needs Dumars to maintain a good state. Therefore, after hard training during the lockout season, he reduced his weight to 89 kg and was in excellent condition. This season, as a substitute for Mo Mengchen, he averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

He was 6 centimeters shorter than Mo Mengchen, but weighed 4 catties. Against a petite defender like Barros, he could only crush him.

If it weren't for Duncan's savior-like appearance, Burrows' defense this round would have been broken.

Duncan's help defense is indeed a must. The timing of filling the position can make people feel infinite pressure. Dumars passed the ball to the inside cut in this embarrassment. Ricky Davis.

Davis still has to face Duncan. He has an advantage over Dumars in that he is young and energetic and has animal-like physical fitness.

"Danger!"

Dumars jumped up, looking like he was about to dunk Duncan.

"Thinking too much." Mo Mengchen said.

Fortunately, Davis doesn't have to dunk Duncan, he has already calculated in his heart, if it doesn't work, he will hand the ball to Duncan's side.

Williams took the ball and scored the buzzer into this complicated penalty area with multiple coordination.

Duncan defended against three with one and eventually failed.

29 is better than 31
This is the first offense of the second quarter.

"Ricky Davis not only has extraordinary impact, but also has a selfless heart."

"Yeah, I watched this kid play in college, and he didn't know how to play the game properly at the time. I didn't expect to come to Detroit for one season and grow like this."

"He realized the change from self to team."

The same words are used to praise Duncan without any sense of disobedience. If Mo Mengchen hadn't seen the changes in Davis, he would have thought these commentators were idiots. The idiot who shoots at his own hoop?
Mo Mengchen needed to remind himself repeatedly: that was a matter of the previous life.

Not to mention Davis, there are many differences between Mo Mengchen and his previous life—for example, he no longer resists shaking hands with people—environment can make people.

"He can attack with the ball, and he also has great physical fitness. He can pass the ball out when encountering difficult defenses. I really don't know how he fell to the [-]th overall pick."

Hill is thankful that the team selected him with the [-]th overall pick.

His ability to sit on the bench between the first and second quarters this season has a lot to do with Davis joining.

Davis' predecessor, Don Reid, is a good backup, but his potential and plasticity are far worse than Davis.

"Speaking of which, the [-]th pick of the Pistons is really traditional." Barkley laughed, "JD is the [-]th pick, Mo is also the [-]th pick, and this guy is also the [-]th pick."

Mo Mengchen expressed that he could not accept it: "Chuck, are you comparing him to me?"

"This is only his first season, you have to compare your heart, Mo, it's not bad." Barkley said.

Mo Mengchen snorted softly: "It's far away."

At this time, as the only superstar on the field, Duncan's dominance was also shown inside.

Williams, who is facing him, relies on ruthlessness and enthusiasm to compete. These positive traits are not worth mentioning in the face of the huge gap in talent and strength.

Davis noticed that Duncan's offense was smooth and decided to double-team without authorization.

Where can his actions escape Duncan's eyes?As soon as the defense was in place and the double-teaming hadn't started, Shi Fu passed the ball to the outside.

The Celtics stunned Davis with a three-pointer.

34 is better than 29
Williams shouted in dissatisfaction: "Rookie, look after your own people!"

"But."

"No but! I can handle it!" Williams said exasperatedly.

Dumas followed suit and wanted to beat Barros with his body.

In this round, Barros seemed to be reckless, surviving with death, and confronted Dumas.

In Dumas's eyes, his actions are undoubtedly a moth to the flame. No matter how hard he tries, the 30-jin weight difference is all here.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Dumars exerts his strength, Barros will definitely be knocked over on the spot.

This seemingly reckless operation also made Dumars couldn't help but blow him up. He knew that doing so could defeat the opponent's fighting spirit.

Although he is not as oppressive as Mo Mengchen, if there is an opportunity to defeat his opponent, he will definitely not miss it.

Dumars hit hard.

"wrong."

Off the court, Mo Mengchen noticed the opponent's position, and Baros was simply a decoy.

Dumars rushed inside for a layup, and Duncan appeared as scheduled, giving him a ruthless cap.

Duncan then took off the basketball that failed to touch the rim, and threw the ball like a cannonball to Anthony Walker, who was counterattacking fast break.

Walker chased to the frontcourt and dunked with both hands.

He deliberately tugged at the basket.

The audience went wild with excitement.

"Fuck DET!"

"Fuck DET!!"

Duncan also patted Barrows' head in the backcourt to show encouragement. If Barrows didn't lure Dumars to attack regardless of his own comfort, his defense would not be so smooth, and Walker's counterattack would be impossible.

The score on the field: 36 to 29.

The Celtics play fiercely and are very smart. Duncan is the core of offense and defense, and Walker is his biggest help. Although the others are not talented and have average combat power, they are willing to die.

Westphal turned to the tech table and asked for a timeout.

It's not his style to ask for a timeout after 7 points.

Those who are familiar with him know that unless the players on the field are powerless, Westphal generally will not interrupt their rhythm.

He is used to letting the players play freely.

"Lewis, you replace Jerome," Westphal said. "From now on, we're going to play the V. Lewis, I need you in the corner. Whenever they leave you open, you're going to throw the ball. Enter."

"Mo. You replace JD."

Less than 3 minutes later in the second quarter, Westphal made fine-tuning of the lineup.

Replacing Lewis is surprising. Generally speaking, replacing Rasheed is a more reasonable operation. Replacing Lewis is tantamount to begging Duncan to fuck the Pistons' inside line?
The inside combination of Lewis and Miller has great advantages and disadvantages.

The biggest advantage is that both of them can shoot from outside the three-point line. The Pistons can put up a formation with all five people standing outside the three-point line. In order to prevent them from shooting three-pointers, the Celtics cannot stand inside. Therefore, there will be a large empty area in their interior lane.

At the same time, the defense of these two is very average, and the defense is useless.

Conversely, for the Celtics, because of the existence of these two people, the Pistons' no-fly zone has thus become a strong flying zone-give me a strong flying!

Miller sent the ball to Mo Mengchen.

In the frontcourt, Barros looked nervous.

He wouldn't feel this way against others. In the previous two games, Mo Mengchen had cast a shadow on him.

"Don't be afraid," Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball with his left hand and smiled lightly, "I don't have any thoughts about you right now."

Maybe that's the scariest thing.

Burrows didn't know what to do, and Miller's pick-and-roll was in place.

Mo Mengchen asked for his pick-and-roll, and Barros inevitably hit the wall. Then, he could only watch Mo Mengchen pull up the ball within the three-point line.

A long-distance two-pointer looks very unreasonable.

Few players will choose to shoot here except for those flying swingmen.

"Shh!"

31 is better than 36
Mo Mengchen scored easily and patted Miller on the back as a sign of encouragement.

"You need one person to deal with Duncan, remember, we will not help!"

Before the Celtics attack, Mo Mengchen said to Lewis and Miller.

Then, Lewis faced Duncan.

He was just a high school student last year and currently weighs only 94 kg.

Duncan's weight data when he participated in the draft two years ago was 113 kilograms.

A weight difference of at least 40 pounds.

This matchup is going to kill Lewis. It is impossible for him to block Duncan's back attack.

Miller is also very clear that this little brother who entered the league in the same year as himself is difficult to deal with Duncan, but he can only stand aside and stare blankly. If he gives up the opponent's close double-team, Duncan will pass the ball 100%.

Miller can't do anything about it.

The direct result is that Duncan is like O'Neal before attacking, turning people over, picking up the basketball with both hands and dunking.

38 is better than 31
Miller went to pull Lewis up and said, "The next round starts, I'll guard him."

"Is this okay?" This was not the coach's arrangement, and Mo Mengchen didn't express anything. Lewis didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.

"Pop won't object," Miller assured.

Because he knew it was the only way.
