You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 583 The Restless Bastard
Mo Mengchen put too much pressure on the rookie. For Andre Miller's physical and mental health, so that he can thrive in the future, the experienced Lenny Wilkens replaced him, letting the former Knicks The main character, Charlie Ward, was battered.

As a result, Mo Mengchen had no interest in abusing players like Charlie Ward. Halfway through the first quarter, the Pistons took a 14-point lead. Westphal didn't want to hurt his bones in this game, so he replaced half of the starters. , mainly to test players, and half of the substitutes were replaced.

At this time, Ricky Davis steals the opponent's pass and advances to the opponent's basket with the ball.

At this time, Davis has begun to show the All-Star potential of averaging 20+5+5 per game in the future. His ability to hold the ball has improved a lot after hard training in the offseason. Apart from Hill, the Pistons' best counterattack finisher.

"This guy is full of energy!"

The narrator commented excitedly.

Next is Rashad Lewis, who has also improved a lot, and his solid outside shooting has brought him into Westphal's sights.

He could only play in garbage time last season, and was occasionally reused due to tactical adjustments.In his rookie season, Lewis couldn't adapt to the three-point line in the NBA. He was very awkward when he played. A player who could be thrown in the trash at any moment.

It's much better now, and his shooting is very stable, which makes Barkley feel a lot of pressure.

"If young people are so vigorous, what else can I do?"

Barkley has rarely maintained a good figure, just to show off his talents this season.

Unfortunately, his position is power forward, which is the most competitive position for the Pistons.

Competitors are Rashid, Jerome Williams and Lewis.

Rasheed's position is as stable as a dead dog, and Williams' hard work makes him a solid first substitute, so Lewis is Barkley's competitor.

Speaking of which, the strengths of the two are quite different.

Barkley's offensive methods are comprehensive, and his biggest killer is the back hit. When he can't open the situation, his butt will become a sharp weapon in Westphal's hands.

Lewis does not have as many functions as Barkley. He relies on shooting and fits the run-and-gun system. His shooting is worse than Barkley, but not as good in other aspects.

This involves a game style issue.If Westphal wants the team to open and close, then Lewis must be played above Barkley.His shooting can open up enough space for the outside; if Westphal wants the team to be more comprehensive, Barkley can even compete with Williams for the main rotation. He can attack, pass and pull out to shoot three-pointers ——Although unstable—he is definitely the most comprehensive power forward in the team besides Rasheed.

Judging from the current formation, Westphal does not intend to let Barkley enter the rotation, that is to say, he wants to compete with Lewis.

Lewis was still too young after all.

In tonight's game, the Pistons have the idea of ​​training. Their book strength and tactical quality are better than the Eagles. After the first quarter, the difference between the two sides is 16 points.

This has actually reflected the strength gap between the two sides. After halftime, the game has lost suspense. The reason why the audience did not leave the game is because the Pistons played very entertaining.

At the end of the game, the Pistons beat the Eagles by 122 points and won the first game of the Las Vegas preseason.

Mo Mengchen played 19 minutes, and his performance was neither good nor bad. It was difficult for the media to take their eyes off him.

"Ethan, Manuel Ginobili played 25 minutes tonight. Although he scored 6 assists, he also made 6 turnovers. The ratio of assists to turnovers is astonishing 1:1. What do you think of his NBA prospects? "

It has been a day or two since the outside world has not been optimistic about Ginobili. Mo Mengchen was not surprised by this question. He replied: "The future is bright."

His answer is very concise, these four words are enough to express his views on Ginobili.

"A lot of changes have taken place in the Eastern Conference this year. Are you sure you can achieve the good results of last year?"

"Wait and see."

Mo Mengchen suddenly became a four-character little prince. No matter what the media asked, his answer was always four words.

Finally, some media said that their opponent in the opening game was the Portland Trail Blazers in the finals last season, and they continued to ask him how he felt about this matter.

Mo Mengchen's answer was still four words: "I'm looking forward to it."

The reporter who couldn't get any information gave up on Mo Mengchen and forwarded it to others.

Two days later, Mo Mengchen played the second preseason game against the Clippers.

This year's Clippers have Odom, although the left-handed magician is not a super star who can bring qualitative changes to the team, but his game is very entertaining. As the opponent of the Pistons, the two teams teamed up to play a wonderful game .

Odom challenged Rasheed, feasting the eyes of the crowd with his versatility, switching from his crotch to behind his left hand several times during the match.

In contrast, Rashid's style is much more simple, he does not make excessive fancy moves, nor does he make exaggerated shots, just like playing in a regular game.

The longer it lasted, the more impressive Odom was, and the worse the Clippers lost.

This year's Clippers are still a strong contender for the No. [-] pick. After watching this game, Mo Mengchen came to this conclusion that is not friendly to Clippers fans.

In the second half, Mo Mengchen called a pick-and-roll to single out Odom for two consecutive rounds.

Odom's defensive problems were exposed in front of Mo Mengchen.This young talent patronizes to show his skills on the court and dismisses defense. This habit is very bad, but it is not without rectification. He needs a strict big brother.

It's a pity that the Clippers don't have such a player to guide Odom, and his bad habits will become more and more, which will eventually affect his career.

That night, Ricky Davis scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He dominated the preseason game strongly and helped the Pistons win two consecutive preseason games.

Mo Mengchen praised Davis a few words in front of the media, which made the latter's tail go up to the sky. He thought it was time to stand up and become the master.

"Ricky, you have to know that what Dad said and did in front of the media can't be counted." Miller kindly persuaded him.

"Are you jealous?" Davis asked with a smile.

Miller found that this guy really didn't know what to do. If what Mo Mengchen said in front of the media was true, why are the big guys so afraid of him?
"I'm going to go to the casino tonight, who will come with me?" Davis muttered.

Low-paid people like Ginobili silently avoided, but Barkley stood up and said he would go.

Jerome Williams is also interested.

Rasheed asked, "Does the casino have everything?"

Davis shook his eyebrows: "Don't pretend to be Rashid, are you trying to tell me that you haven't been in a casino?"

Rashid couldn't pretend anymore, so he smiled a little, and it was a tacit agreement.

After Mo Mengchen entered the locker room, he found that half of the people had disappeared. After asking, he learned that they had gone to the casino.

This is not surprising, as long as the preseason game is set in a casino, people with a lot of money and nowhere to put it will definitely want to see and see, and those with a lot of money will even spend a lot of money.

Mo Mengchen didn't feel any dissatisfaction because of this, as long as this group of people didn't affect the training and competition, even if they had a good night with a dozen or so flesh and blood, he couldn't care less.

In the hotel room, Hill came to visit.

Duke's top students are really idle, what do they do all day long?
He complained about Hill in his heart, but led him in with a smile on his face.

Every time Hill came to Mo Mengchen's hotel room, he would look carefully at it. Sometimes, his room was like a kitchen, full of kitchen utensils; Exclusive tactical markers; sometimes like a singer, various discs, unfinished lyrics, and recorded tapes are put everywhere.

The only constant is that there will always be a first aid kit in a conspicuous place.

"Have you ever found the atmosphere a bit weird lately?" Hill said, referring to the preseason atmosphere.

Mo Mengchen asked: "What's wrong?"

Hill said: "The competition in the team has become more intense, and the mentality of those sophomores is very impetuous. It will not be a good thing if it goes on for a long time."

Mo Mengchen smiled: "Don't you think this is normal?"

"Normal?" Hill was stunned.

Mo Mengchen said: "I have recently read a lot of old newspapers, watched a lot of old news, and studied a lot of old data. For the defending champion, this phenomenon is normal."

Mo Mengchen didn't finish what he said, Hill felt that he was planning something, and didn't know the specific plan, so he could only stare at him anxiously.

"Be patient, I will deal with these restless bastards sooner or later." Mo Mengchen said.
