You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 600 It's Interesting

"At the free throw line again?"

It was Kidd's fourth foul of the night, and he sent Mo Mengchen to the free throw line.

Since Mo Mengchen made that bet with his teammates, he has never missed a free throw. Of the four people who bet with him, only Lewis ended up going to Hill's house as a day laborer on Thanksgiving.

The game reached the middle of the third quarter, and the score on the field was 77 to 72, with the Pistons leading by 5 points.

In order to prevent Mo Mengchen from laying up, Kidd hit him with a thug and simply sent him to the free throw line.

In a basketball game, it's the easiest shot one can imagine, and often the most important: the free throw.It often determines whether you leave the field smiling or dejected.For all its significance, NBA teams' free-throw percentages have continued to trend poorly for 50 years.

It seems like an incredible phenomenon.However, after thinking about it deeply, you will find that the solution to this dilemma is not as simple as it seems.

Mo Mengchen patted the ball, the bet with his teammates was just a game, a game of forcing himself to score the ball.

If there is only one free throw, he will put one hundred thousand dollars into the accounts of the four teammates who bet with him. In other words, one free throw is worth 40, and two free throws are worth 80.

Every shot has a lot of pressure.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

79 is better than 72
No problem, he still made the free throw.

"This guy's heart is really hard." Houston said helplessly. "It seems impossible to make some money from him."

Hill was curious: "What money?"

Houston didn't have time to explain, they were about to retreat.

Kidd dribbled the ball steadily across the half, he was not in a hurry to attack, and he waited for his teammates to fall into position.

The 45-degree angle to the left of Gugliotta is important. Now he is no longer the White Wolf of Minneapolis, because Garnett has embezzled two-thirds of the salary space alone, and the Timberwolves don’t even have Marbury. If he stays, his departure is considered normal.

Gugliotta is a rare all-round center with no dead ends on the offensive end. Seeing him holding the ball in the low post, Mo Mengchen quickly pressed inward like a deep-sea mad shark smelling blood.

Seeing Mo Mengchen double-teaming, Gugliota couldn't help but want to laugh. Did these people wake up or what happened?How dare you press him?

Although Gugliota averaged less than 3 assists per game this year, it must not be considered that his coping ability has been scrapped. The reason why his assists have declined is because he came to the Suns. This is Kidd. For the team, Kidd controls the ball and decides the ownership of the ball.

Gugliotta averaged nearly four assists per game during his peak period, and he was a complete inside axis. The reason why Garnett was able to evolve into the most comprehensive power forward in history is not unrelated to his guidance.

He has a beautiful one-handed diagonal pass, and he is tall enough to indicate the direction of the pass. Before Mo Mengchen's double-team was formed, he passed the ball.

Hill didn't steal the ball in place, and Kidd made a three-pointer.

75 is better than 79
Kidd yelled, "Good pass!"

This is Kidd's 8th point tonight. His offense was suppressed by Mo Mengchen. Although he is not a defender whose selling point is offense, no one doesn't like offense, especially in front of his deadly opponent. Want to prove that he is a better defender than Mo Mengchen.

Gugliotta smiled at Mo Mengchen: "Thank you for your hospitality, I really appreciate your attention."

You are welcome, this is what I should do.

Mo Mengchen's face was sullen, not because he was unhappy, but because he was thinking about the difference between Gugliota's distribution and the inside line he encountered before.

Weber's passing skills are important, and Gugliotta's passing speed is very important. His ball speed is very fast. If he wants to intercept, he must react two seconds faster than him, but if he reacts too fast, he may change the way of passing the ball.

Mo Mengchen thought hard, didn't take the ball, and walked slowly to the bottom corner on the right to stand. Seeing that he didn't want the ball, Hill had to call an eagle attack for himself, broke through Marion's defense, and rushed into the basket for a heavy dunk. Score.

Devil Mountain is a BUG for the Suns, and rookies Marion and Delonie Rogers have nothing to do with him.

Kidd tasted the sweetness, he once again passed the ball to Gugliota.

Gugliotta hasn't received such support from his teammates in the low post for a long time. Kidd doesn't like to play from the low post inside. He wants to run inside.

Gugliota can understand that the running inside can create more opportunities, and Kidd can also deliver the shells to the people who need to fire at the moment when the inside runs out of opportunities.

But if you do that, Gugliota's greatest advantage will not be brought into play.

Starting from the low post is his advantage. Here, he has a full set of skills, can also attract double-teams, pass the ball out at will, and untie the opponent's defense one by one.

Sure enough, Mo Mengchen came again.

Gugliotta really couldn't understand, his attack hadn't started yet, why Mo Mengchen was so impatient?
He hasn't completed a low post attack yet. Mo Mengchen looks like it's not Gugliotta who gets the ball in the low post, but Shaq O'Neal. If O'Neal gets the ball, everyone can react like this. understand.

That's Guglio Tower! ! !

Rashid, who was playing against Gugliotta, was particularly incomprehensible. Although he was not in a good state after his comeback tonight, his defense was still good. Isn't Mo Mengchen telling everyone that he can't defend against the three Is it a medicine jar that is fished every day and dried on the net for two days?
Gugliotta passed the ball again, but Hill still couldn't get in place. Fortunately, he followed Kidd and didn't let him open the shot.

Kidd involved Hill's defense and gave it to Marion.

The hacker received the ball from the right wing and executed the first high jumper of the night. The weird [-] style made the audience remember him.

77 is better than 81
"This guy not only has a weird face, but also a weird shooting posture."

Rashid suddenly said to Mo Mengchen: "Father, I can handle him."

Hearing this, Mo Mengchen said: "I trust your defense, I didn't do this to help you."

This sentence made Rashid completely dumbfounded.

Not to help him?Is it to help the opponent?Mo Mengchen's superfluous double-teaming allowed Gugliota to pass two strikes, all of which were converted into points for the Suns.

"Could it be that you are the spy on the other side?" Rashid was surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense and serve me the ball!"

Mo Mengchen kicked the basketball into his hands.

When Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball across the half court, he recalled Gugliotta's pass. Although he scored twice, both were for Kidd, but the angles and passing methods were different.

Once it was a smash pass with both hands, and once it was a one-handed pass.

In terms of speed, the two-handed pass is faster, and the angle of the one-handed pass is more tricky.

Tom Gugliotta, there is no doubt that this is a passing master who has been submerged in the long river of NBA history.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball with his left hand, protruding to the right. Kidd didn't expect that this guy who had no desire to attack would suddenly draw his knife and slash someone.

Kidd's pace failed to keep up in time, and Rasheed's thick body like a brown bear blocked him from the three-point line.

Momo started like a spark, and a guglielta passed by Gugliotta, and he couldn't stop Dor.Mo from attacking the basket.

Mo Mengchen made a layup.

83 is better than 77
"Continue to double-team?" Hill asked.

"Continue." Mo Mengchen said, "But this time, you have to predict his pass, whether right or wrong, you have to predict."

If you just stand still and wait for him to pass the ball, you can't stop Gugliota's internal pass.

Kidd saw Gugliotta asking for the ball in the low post and instinctively threw the ball over.

He really didn't expect that in the eyes of the Pistons, Gugliotta's low-post threat was so great, and the frequency of Mo Mengchen's double-teaming was too exaggerated.

As long as Kidd passed the ball, he would not even look at Kidd, as if Kidd, who was abandoned by him on the outside, was a waste who couldn't make a goal anyway.

Even Gugliota can't figure it out, why are the Pistons so afraid of him attacking in the low post?
"What's wrong with these people?"

Gugliotta fidgets to pass the ball.

Hill made a shot, his long arm was stretched out, and he was quite close to the ball, Gugliota's heart was cold.

"boom!"

Thankfully, Hill just sabotages his pass.

"Still a little slower," Hill said.

It's good if you can steal the ball, but it's not bad if you destroy the pass.

Mo Mengchen noticed that Gugliotta actually passed the ball out this time by hanging the ball.

What a play, this guy.

The Suns were tired of playing inside and outside, and Kidd set up a screen for Stackhouse this time, allowing the successor of Jordan, who had been without the ball for several consecutive rounds, to throw a ball.

Stackhouse missed a shot, and Longley made a tip-up.

Mo Mengchen didn't stay in the backcourt to catch the ball for halftime, he walked forward slowly.

Hill can only stay and help him do it.

Along the way, he kept thinking about the three rounds just now. Was Gugliota's pass a show of skill or a choice based on the situation?

The images of those three rounds kept echoing in Mo Mengchen's mind, and he began to recall his double-teaming methods.

His double-team routes, his double-team timing, where others stand
Combine these conditions and consider Gugliota's pass.

A storm was going on in Mo Mengchen's brain, and Hill played a beautiful V-shaped offense. He distributed the ball to Houston, and the CIC king stepped on the line and hit a two-pointer.

"Do you double-team?"

"Come again."

Mo Mengchen had to confirm the conjecture in his heart.

With only the last 2 minutes left in the third quarter, their lead was 5 points.

"You will double-team, right?" Kidd asked suddenly.

Mo Mengchen understood Kidd, after all, what he did was to treat Kidd as a useless person.

Kidd's displeasure is understandable.

"That's right." Mo Mengchen admitted generously.

asshole!Kidd angrily passed Gugliotta.

Double team!If you have the guts, continue double-teaming!Kidd's heart roared.

As a result, Mo Mengchen ran away without looking back.

This time he deliberately chose the route of double-teaming Gugliota for the first time. He didn't watch the ball at all, and his eyes were always focused on Gugliota.

He noticed that Gugliotta glanced at his position before tossing the ball hard with both hands.

Hill couldn't catch the pass at all, it was too fast!
Kidd caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

"Try letting me go again!" Kidd, who had always been as calm as water, roared out of control.

Mo Mengchen didn't care about Kidd's reaction at all. He looked at the ball that fell on the ground, recalled what happened just now, and couldn't help laughing.

"really interesting."

No matter how many tricks there are in passing skills, everything is a routine, just like a machine, everything is.
