You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 652 Destroying the Foundation of Pistons
The Raptors struggled in vain, and the fans only watched one quality game.

After the first half, the game has no suspense.

Fans' expectations of the game have been changing: to maintain suspense until the end, to lose heroically - stick to the end of the first three quarters before handing over the gun - is this too much?Garbage time before the end of the first half?
As a result, the Raptors satisfied them and lasted until the end of the first half before turning the game into garbage time.

In the end, fans were left with only one wish.

The score difference should not exceed 20 points.

This year's fans are ranked among the top in history. They are so tolerant and passionate, and their demands are reasonable.

Raptors: But I say no to them all!
In the end, the Raptors lost to the Pistons by 31 points.

Compared to Game 32 and Game 1, which averaged 2 points per game, they improved by 1 point tonight.

"This result is infuriating. You must know that for opponents like the Pistons, you can't show that you are not interested in fighting. They will not sympathize with you at all!" Raptors' home commentator Quincy Angus said angrily.

Unfortunately, the result has already appeared.

In the three games, the Raptors lost an average of 31 points per game, and they didn't lose their temper at all.

Mo Mengchen quickly returned to the locker room, washed briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then came to the reporters to accept their interviews.

The same period of competition, the results are roughly the same.

The Celtics, who lost Duncan, had no ability to resist and were easily struck out by the Heat.

Next, the Celtics have to consider how to keep Duncan in the summer.

Duncan signed in 1997. Before the suspension of the season, his rookie contract now seems to be an irregular rookie contract, and the interests of the home team cannot be guaranteed.

This is a 3+1 contract, but Duncan can end this contract early and join the big market.

With Duncan's ability, it doesn't matter how big a contract he wants.

In his previous life, Duncan almost went to the Magic. It is said that Rivers refused to let Duncan's family get on the plane together, which made Duncan feel cold and indirectly made the Spurs' glory in the first 16 years of the new century.

Duncan had many reasons to stay with the Celtics, and many reasons to leave.

The fans here are passionate, everyone in the city loves him, and Pitino treats him like a baby boy.

There are as many reasons to leave here as there are to stay.

The fans are very enthusiastic because he is the only star.

Pitino cherished him like a baby, and it was also because he lost his position as a handsome man if he left him.

There is no future here. In any case, he cannot fight against the Pistons alone. The news about Duncan’s possible departure is becoming more and more enthusiastic. When the free market opens in the summer, those teams with salary space will launch a fiery pursuit of Duncan .

At that time, the only bargaining chip Boston has to keep Duncan is to talk about feelings with him.

The West is convenient, the Lakers easily defeated the Timberwolves, and swept the second round 3-0; the same is true for the Trail Blazers, Webber, he will not easily lose the chain until he encounters the real critical moment, and he played quite well in the first round , Help the team sweep the opponent.

The game between the Kings and the Jazz has undergone dramatic changes.

The Jazz, who had a chance to eliminate the Kings in three games, did not seize the opportunity.

Ma Long's singles miss at a critical moment gave McGrady a chance to kill them.

McGrady lived up to his mission, and in the last five seconds, he beat the Jazz at the buzzer, which brought a lot of doubts to this series that had lost suspense.

Malone's shrinkage at a critical moment was put on the table again, and the whole world was mocking him. No one would feel sorry for this 36-year-old veteran who still shoulders the offensive burden of the league's top three pressures.

The tenacious Jazz couldn't find anyone to help him share some of the pressure.

Of course, Malone himself did not live up to it.

Since you are a superstar, you have to bear all of this alone. Many times, you are fighting alone. He finally chooses to quit instead of gritting his teeth and persisting. So he once again adds a touch to his history of shrinking eggs at critical moments, telling you from a distance. Weber, who is in his prime: Today I must let you know who is the number one shrinking egg king in history!
This game was a turning point in the series between the Kings and the Jazz.

Malone began to wither, and in the next two games, he did not score more than 20 points. On the King's side, youth has no limits, and talent finally defeated experience.

In Game 4, Tracy McGrady and Dirk Nowitzki played hard at the same time, knocking down the old Jazz, and the series was tied.

In the tie-breaker, the old jazz tried to defend the glory of the 90s, they are not dead yet!
Although Lian Po is not old, but the young men are menacing.

McGrady, Nowitzki, Bibby, Peja, four young people, four future All-Stars or quasi-All-Stars, they all broke out tonight, for the victory, for the semi-finals, and finally, the overflowing talents defeated Decaying classic car.

The jazz dancing stopped.

"They're not dead, they're just fading away." That night, the legendary commentator Holt Hendry, who has commented on the game for the Jazz for 30 years, said sadly.

The end of the old legend means the beginning of a new story.

From this moment on, the Kings have officially entered the sights of many strong teams in the West. They not only have talents, but also have immediate combat power. They defeated the Jazz and will challenge last year's Western Conference overlord Portland in the semifinals. By.

"We are very hopeful!" The young McGrady said happily in an interview, "Now we have proved that we are not only promising in the future, but we are also promising now, in front of us, right now!"

The young man made an announcement to the world, and Mo Mengchen, who had followed this round of the series all the way, just let out a sigh of emotion.

"What's wrong?" asked Ephraim beside him.

"Watching a group of talented guys grow from brats to confidantes." Mo Mengchen pondered for a while, "This feeling is hard to describe."

"A serious problem?" Ephraim looked seriously at the young man on the TV who seemed unable to fully open his eyes, "The Kings?"

Ephraim asked naively: "Aren't they in the West? It's the Lakers who should have a headache."

That's the problem, dear.

What if one day they overthrow the Lakers?Wouldn't that just stand in front of us?

"However, there is still a long way to go before they become our opponents." Mo Mengchen turned off the TV, full of thoughts.

As a time traveler, since he chose the NBA as his career, conquering the NBA is what he must do.

Conquering the NBA depends on one or two championships?Of course not, what kind of conquest is conquest?The Celtics have won 11 championships in 10 years, and the Bulls have won 8 championships in 6 years. They dominate the world.

It's okay, come one by one.

He believes that McGrady and Nowitzki will one day lead the Kings out of the West, and hope that day will not be too far away.

The Pistons vs. Heat in the semifinals is considered by many to be an intense bloody battle.

The Heat killed the Pistons three times in the regular season. Their confrontation and game intensity helped them win all three games in the regular season. They are also the only team to kill the Pistons three times this season.

You know, the Pistons only lost 12 regular season games this season, 3 of which were thanks to the Heat.

The outside world has high expectations for them.

"Miami may be puzzled, why their opponents suddenly learned to fight, aren't they a run-and-gun team that hides and fights?"

"Sir, that's the story of the regular season!"

The Heat happily played against the Pistons, only to discover that their opponents were far tougher than they were.

Their goal was not achieved, because things have changed immeasurably. The Pistons seem to have given up running and bombing, willingly getting involved in positional warfare, and having a meat grinder game with the Heat.

Fighting and fighting, Riley found that there seemed to be more opponents?
In this round of the series, Westphal's main ten-man rotation.

Mo Mengchen, Hill, Houston, Rasheed, and Wallace are the main players; Davis, Lol, Ginobili, Jerome Williams, and Pollard are the second team.

Miller Lewis Buckley et al are deprecated.

In order to fight against his opponent, Westphal drastically changed his style of play, adjusted his lineup, and played tough against tough. In the end, he defeated the Heat 109-88 in the first game.

The cruelty of the meat grinder game is that there is not much room for adjustment for both sides, that is, who is more ruthless and whose will is stronger.

"Maybe Miami is better at confrontation, but Detroit has the experience of starting from nothing, from the bottom to the top, and finally standing on the top of the mountain to win the trophy!"

"That kind of experience can change the temperament of a team forever. It would be a big mistake to think of them as a running team that is afraid of confrontation."

Unfortunately, the Heat didn't realize this until the third game.

The Pistons played short and long, but they won consecutive victories.

In the third game, the Heat finally wanted to change the way of the game, give up muscle confrontation, and increase the speed of the game. The Pistons refused, and stepped forward to a gentleman? Philosophical confrontation, forcibly pulling the opponent into their own game, and then ravaged them again. Still a 20-point victory.

It's a total triumph of depth, instant production, athleticism and talent.

After three games, the Heat trailed 0-3.

It's like a desperate person being pushed to the edge of a cliff, one step back is an abyss, and one step forward is a cold throat-sealing weapon.

It's all dead.

"Our failure just proved that the Pistons will not fail because of a high-intensity confrontation."

After four games, the Heat were swept out.

In an interview, Riley said how he felt about the semi-finals: "But I still firmly believe that confrontation is the basis for defeating them. We forced them to give up their original style of play. This is the first step to victory. To achieve this result, it is It is caused by strength, not a crime of war."

"Not in Miami, but we can look forward to New York."

After all, the Heat only have one Mourning.

And what about the Knicks?attack?They have Hardaway; defense?Mutombo + Camby + Pippen; if the basis of defeating the Pistons is confrontation, they have the most solid foundation in the league.

Contrary to the Heat, the Knicks, who seem to have the best chance of beating the Pistons, lost three encounters with the Pistons in the rest of the regular season.

There is also a legendary battle in which Dor.Mo scored 51 points in a single game + kneeling Pippen's three-point lore at the end.
