You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 541
The game in the second quarter was quite subversive.

Westphal's bold substitution failed to achieve the desired effect, and the Celtics took an 8-point lead.

After switching back to the main force, Mo Mengchen took temporary command and countered the opponent with one way, and finally chased for 5 points in a row. Pitino did not make any good changes after the timeout, and Kenny Anderson, who replaced Burrows, played again. mistake.

This time, after stealing the ball, Mo Mengchen quickly went straight to the frontcourt, stopped outside the arc top three-point line, and made a chasing three-pointer to tie the score.

In the end, Duncan made a wise decision for Pitino, who could no longer think normally.

"Antoine, you go to the backcourt and make sure Kenny dribbles the damn ball upfield!"

Teammates made mistakes one after another and wiped out the lead. Duncan was also very annoyed. He didn't criticize his teammates. The strength of these guards was just like that.

Who knows why they can use the Kansas frontcourt press defense that the Celtics have not understood for two seasons so well?

Actually, it was an accident.

First of all, the Pistons have not practiced this defense in private. If Pitino knew about this, would tears fall?
The reason why Mo Mengchen chose to press the frontcourt was because the Celtics' back line was weak, and Dana Barros couldn't stand the confrontation at all, so he came up with this move.

The effect was completely beyond his expectation.

It was also through these few minutes of successful defense that Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that Rick Pitino was not useless.

He even had an idea in his mind at the time. If Pitino was the head coach of the Pistons, the Pistons should perfectly reproduce the Kansas NCAA frontcourt press.

Pitino was very lucky to be accompanied by a supernova like Duncan as soon as he took office.

He wasn't lucky either. The Celtics weren't structured to use Kansas' frontcourt press, even with Duncan.

Duncan mobilized Walker to support the frontcourt, and the situation immediately improved, and the Celtics would not even be able to pass halftime.

It's still possible to pass halftime.

Just after halftime, the formation became chaotic, because Walker should have stayed in the backcourt to secure a good position. Now, in order to ensure that the basketball can pass the halfcourt smoothly, he ran from the frontcourt, and the position has long since disappeared.

The only tactic the Celtics have is to pass the ball to Duncan.

With 4 minutes left in the first half, Duncan had a premonition that he would take most of the shots in the remaining minutes.

At this moment, he wishes he was a selfish person, so he would be excited to have the ball concentrated on him.

But there is only pain in his heart. The basketball he imagined is not like this.

The team's victory or defeat depends on him, and Duncan has nowhere to retreat. No matter how reluctant he is, he will still attack Rashid tenaciously.

One back and one back, he scored two goals in a row, and he got up.

Although the Pistons can also score, the scene looks far less spectacular than Duncan's infinite one-on-one singles.

The Pistons began to double-team, and Duncan found an opportunity to pass the ball.

Walker also lived up to the open space Duncan helped him get involved, found a three-pointer, hit an outside shot, and the Celtics led by 1 point before halftime.

52 is better than 51
The rest of the first half fell.

Duncan was sweating and panting.

Of course he will be tired, attacking, defending, it all depends on him, how can he not be tired?

As Duncan walked off the court, Pitino patted him on the shoulder, applauding the capable student.

In the second half, they had to continue to rely on Duncan.

Mo Mengchen took the initiative to accept the on-site interview.

He trusts reporters to ask the questions he wants them to ask.

"Ethan, you guys had a beautiful defensive performance in the second quarter. That defensive form was very similar to coach Rick Pitino's defensive tactics. Is this a coincidence?"

Sure enough, the reporters are a bunch of bastards who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

Mo Mengchen liked their honesty.

"Yes." Mo Mengchen admitted generously.

The reporter continued to ask: "Is this your secret weapon? Have you ever trained this tactic in private?"

This was the question Mo Mengchen wanted to hear the most.

I'm gonna piss you off Rick Pitino!

Mo Mengchen couldn't help laughing, he really couldn't help it.

In the eyes of fans, this is a blatant ridicule.

It's one of those "we've been trained not to laugh unless we can't help it" kind of laugh.

Mo Mengchen managed to stop his smile, and then answered the reporter's question: "I don't intend to offend Coach Pitino. This is the first time we use his defensive tactics. In China, this is called retaliation by others. We weren't expecting the effect of this defensive tactic, and it was really surprising that it had this effect."

"Some people may not believe this, but we never practiced this defense in private, so it is not a secret weapon. I wholeheartedly praise coach Rick Pitino. He developed a great defense. Tactics, it is so close to the people, we can have such good results without training, presumably other teams are the same, this tactic is undoubtedly a milestone."

Mo Mengchen accepted the interview proudly, and Pitino, who was far away in the locker room of the home team, heard the news and smashed the tactical board into pieces in anger.

"Arrogant bastard! Damn Aussie!" Pitino lost his grace.

Pitino succeeded in the NCAA by relying on the frontcourt pressing tactics, which is his famous label in the United States.

The Celtics also value the innovative significance of this tactic.

Because since this tactic can be successful in the NCAA, it can also be successful in the NBA.

You know, how many NBA coaches' famous tactical systems come from the legendary coaches of the NCAA.

The run-and-gun, Princeton, triangle tactics, two-three tactics, pick-and-roll tactics, dislocation offense, and UCLA pass-and-cut system that we know are all like this.

Pitino's label for this tactic, now someone reproduces his tactic on the court, and plays it better than his team. In an interview, he even said that he had never practiced it specially, and said that this tactic is a milestone. meaning.

What does it mean?
It's like a skill that only Pitino knows in the world.

It's different now. Someone has learned his unique skill and claimed to announce it to the world in another way. This trick is very simple and easy to use, and everyone can use it.

So what is Pitino's foundation?
This is why he lost control.

Pitino coached the Celtics for two seasons, and his team never had a game where the frontcourt was as effective as the Pistons' minutes in the second quarter.

Since Bowen was put on the starting lineup, the frontcourt pressing tactics have existed in name only, and there is only an empty shell left, completely formalistic. Even Pitino is ready to give up it and hug Duncan's thigh with all his heart.

That's when the Pistons used it.

It's so ironic!

"Coach, he wants to piss you off."

Duncan hands Pitino a glass of water.

Pitino took his water and said harshly, "I know."

"Don't let him get away with it." Duncan acted more like a coach than Pitino.

Pitino took a sip of water and slowly calmed down. Looking at the broken tactical board, he realized how bad he was just now.

He kicked the tactical board on the ground to the corner, stood in front of everyone and said, "From now on, we have no tactics!"

"We're going to do whatever it takes to help us win!"

"Give the ball to TD, give the ball to Antawn, give the ball to whoever can lead us to win!"

Pitino ended up being the kind of coach he hated the most: "Guys, action and reaction are equal, but the side that takes the initiative doesn't feel the same as the side that receives it, let's take the initiative from now on. , this is our home field!"

There are no tactics, just playing chicken blood, relying purely on the performance of the players.

There are thousands of such coaches in American high schools.

Pitino has become that coach now.

What he is proud of has been broken. The Pistons successfully used his tactics on the court and caused internal riots. The senior management is not satisfied with his leadership mode in the past two years. He was already overwhelmed by Boston's saliva.

Even if he reaches the Eastern Conference finals, he can't take off the hat of only fucking Duncan.

Now that the crisis has emerged, if he can't solve it, the management will tear up the original agreement to invite him out of the NCAA at any time.

To put it bluntly, professional sports are all business. You can’t do it, but some people can.

In the third quarter, it was a shopping spree launched against this background.

The Celtics were beaten all over, and everyone went crazy.

"Have these people eaten shit?"

Rasheed called out.

Duncan missed the shot, and the four Celtics participated in the offensive rebound rush, and finally drowned the Pistons, and scored the second offense.

At this point, the third quarter is halfway through.

The Celtics led the Pistons by 63 points 58 to 5.

The Pistons responded quickly, and Rasheed took the ball with his back, but he was not in a hurry to attack. He bluffed twice and passed it to Houston who cut into the basket.

Houston made a layup and was blocked by Duncan.

It was supposed to be a goaltend, but perhaps the Celtics' fighting style infected the referee.

Sensibility triumphed over reason, and the referee failed to blow the damn whistle.

Mo Mengchen picked up the floor ball and confronted Duncan in the air. This time, the whistle blew.

Don't make a noise, Duncan's defensive hand is too heavy, and Mo Mengchen fell to the ground on the spot.

After two free throw opportunities, Mo Mengchen made all free throws.

"Isn't it just a foul? It's like who can't!"

Rashid muttered, Mo Mengchen was about to persuade him, but Duncan's attack had already begun.He pushed forward all the way, and when he launched an attack, he roared Tianzun loudly, and pressed down on the stone Buddha's body.

Undoubtedly a foul!
He looked like he wanted to kill Duncan.

The crowd booed frantically, which satisfied Rasheed.

Fortunately, Duncan was fine, otherwise these fans would have drowned him with a mouthful of saliva.

Duncan got to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.

If there is no such murderous foul, the referee will not blow it, and every second will be confrontation.

This is the third quarter of the game.

The frightening thing is that this intensity lasted for a whole section.

　According to my urination, I used to just find an excuse to explode and finish the game in one go.Nima's life is forced, everyone must understand me, I really don't want to get stuck in high C
