You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 667 Survival from the dead, strategy wins

The confrontation between the East and the West is now 3-2, and the front-position team takes the lead. If the back-position team wants to come back, it needs to win two games in a row.

It's not that they have no hope of reversing the situation. There are many teams in history that have won two consecutive games and advanced to the finals.It's just that most of the teams that have come back against the wind have an advantage in book strength, and in the two divisional matchups this season, it is obvious that the front-position teams are stronger.

The current big score is more like a comparison of the real strength of the two sides.

No one dares to draw conclusions until the series is over.

Game 6 is played on the road, where the Pistons hope to end the series.

Before leaving Detroit, they have to stay one more night. Tonight is Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals. Maybe there will be the first team to advance to the Finals tonight.

If the most gorgeous power forward in the history of fame and fame plays a big role, maybe the Blazers have a chance to drag the series into the tiebreaker.

Historically, the Lakers were pulled into the tiebreaker by the Blazers this year, but the personnel structure of this Blazers team is very different from the Blazers in the previous life.

Rasheed, Steve Smith and Pippen were replaced by Webb and Sprewell.

In terms of the quality and age of the replacement personnel, the latter is greater than the former. Webber at the beginning of the century remained healthy and was basically regarded as the top three forwards in the league. In a strange change, he came to the Trail Blazers and helped the Trail Blazers enter the finals in the 9899 season, but was defeated like the Knicks in the previous life.

History doesn't seem to have changed much, and those who should lose have lost.

However, as long as Webber and Sprewell play normally, their strength is stronger than Rasheed, Smith and Pippen.

The premise is that they have to play normally, especially Webber.

The key to fighting soft-legged shrimp is by no means in vain.

"Who do you think will win tonight?"

At the end of training in the afternoon, Hill took the initiative to ask Mo Mengchen this question.

However, this question has exceeded Mo Mengchen's prediction range as a traveler.

Although the Western Conference Finals still revolve around the Trail Blazers and the Lakers, the personnel are not the same as the history he knows, and he cannot make accurate predictions.

But his previous predictions were too accurate, and now everyone is based on his speculations, and some people are even preparing to bet secretly.

"Portland."

After pondering for a long time, Mo Mengchen said not very confidently.

"Why?" Hill was surprised by this answer. "You said that Chris is not a big-time player. Why do you believe them in the crucial sixth game?"

"I simply hope that the Lakers will play more games in the conference finals," Mo Mengchen said.

This sentence comes from the heart, and the world can learn from it.

"So, you didn't speculate based on your strength?"

"Do you look down on Weber? Don't forget, you and he are both members of the second team." Mo Mengchen said without changing his expression, "Even if it is judged by strength, I will support Portland."

Hill can pretend that Mo Mengchen has never openly despised Weber, let alone mocked Weber by displaying Weber's glorious deeds during the game.

Mo Mengchen taunted many people during the game. Webber, O'Neal, Payton, Pippen and others were all deeply hurt. If it is said that the most injured, Webber will definitely have a chance to compete.

In Rashid's words: "Father looks down on Webb's self-promotion, there is no hypocrisy in it."

So Hill would be surprised that Mo Mengchen supported Portland.

"Looks like you really just want them to consume the Lakers more," Hill said.

In the hearts of every Pistons player, the opponent in the finals has long been determined, and it is the Lakers.

Mo Mengchen hoped that history would give him a surprise, such as O'Neal was seriously injured in the game, the Lakers collapsed at the last moment, and the Blazers advanced to the finals.

While unlikely, is there anything absolutely impossible?

If he could really choose an opponent in the finals, he would choose the Blazers without hesitation. Everyone likes to squeeze a persimmon, and Dor.Mo is no exception.

It's a pity that this is not like the card battle in the regular season. Strong teams can choose the soft persimmons for the last position according to their personal preferences.This is the finals, and it can only be the two strongest teams of the season that will face off at the top of Huashan.

"Don't you think the Lakers don't think so?" Mo Mengchen said flatly, "They wish we could play a hundred games against the Knicks, and it would be better if we played so that we would all be reimbursed for the season."

"What's the point of a championship like that?" Hill asked.

"In the 88 season, Isaiah Thomas fell due to injury in the finals, and the Lakers won the championship; Champion." Mo Mengchen asked, "Do you think they will think that the champion is not good enough because the opponent lacks major generals?"

Hill said nothing, of course not.

The former made the Lakers the only champion who successfully defended the title in the 80s. The latter directly ended the 80s dominated by the Lakers and the Celtics, announcing the arrival of a new era. History will not remember which team was injured. Meaningful to the winner.

Losing is losing, there are no excuses.

"It seems that you are ready?" Hill asked with a smile.

"Get ready for what?" Mo Mengchen asked back, "You mean the game against the Lakers?"

Hill said: "Besides this, what else can it be."

"We have prepared for a season for the finals with the Lakers. To be honest, I suddenly don't want the Blazers to beat the Lakers."

If the Blazers succeed, the Pistons' preparations for this season will be wasted.

Then, Hill was too lazy to listen to this guy's sarcastic remarks, and waved his hand to leave.

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Go home and listen to the fetal movement." Hill said excitedly, "There are still five months before little Hill is born!"

Enough to get us through the Finals and the rest of the offseason.

Whenever Hill mentions his children, Mo Mengchen always moves away, because he especially likes to use children as capital to show off.

Sometimes when discussing something, this guy would throw out a sentence: "You are so powerful, how many children do you have?"

Isn't there something wrong with this?This is even more unreasonable than Barkley arguing with Jordan, and the latter suddenly pulled out the sentence "How many rings did you get?"

Probably because of this incident, Mo Mengchen made a decision. He wanted to find a time to propose to Ephraim. He wanted to choose a grand occasion, at the best time.

How was the winning moment?
How enjoyable is it for a lost opponent to watch him have a double harvest in his love and career?
Thinking of this, Dor.Mo was already imagining the scene of him kneeling on one knee in front of Ephraim in front of the O'Neals after lifting the championship trophy.

It must be unforgettable.

"Tonight, Los Angeles has a chance to close out the series."

Marv Albert used his insatiable voice to make the opening remarks, and the game also started under his commentary.

Mo Mengchen was watching the game at home, with Ephraim beside him.

Adrian has little interest in games other than the Pistons. Although O'Neal is strong, he is not his favorite player.

Although Mo Mengchen repeatedly told him that the Lakers' Kobe is very good, he just didn't listen or ask.

As soon as the game started, the Blazers made preparations for a desperate fight. The five starters, except for Weber, all had blood on their faces to fight their opponents.

Even Weber should be infected, right?
Tonight, the best thing the Blazers did was to shrink the defensive line. In any case, they did not allow O'Neal to receive the ball, giving Kobe many opportunities to play singles with the ball.

Seeing O'Neill expending more physical energy than usual in order to get the low position provided Mo Mengchen with a lot of inspiration.

The Blazers have deep interior depth.

Webber, Sabonis, Brian Grant, German ghost Schramff, Jr. O'Neal. As long as these pure insiders or swingers do their best, they are stronger than O'Neal, and it is difficult to get the ball in the low post.

In order to control O'Neal, what the Blazers need to sacrifice is the outside line.

Bryant will get a lot of singles opportunities, standing in front of him is Stacy Augmon.

Although Ogmon is very talented, he has suffered too many injuries. Now he has lost the aura he had when he entered the league. is untenable.

That night, Kobe scored 44 points, the highest scoring game in a single game in the Western Conference Finals, and his shooting percentage also reached 50%. This performance is beyond reproach.

Kobe's outburst was predictable. The Blazers put on this kind of defense to strangle O'Neal. Kobe's outside shot was the price of their defense against O'Neal.

This is the same as the Cavaliers and Warriors finals, it is better to let Durant explode than to let Curry explode.

Some people's outbursts can kill the game, but some people can turn the game into garbage time in one breath.

Either guard O'Neal and bet you Kobe will be unable to recover; or guard O'Neal and be beaten to death by Kobe alone.

Regardless of the outcome, the Blazers are taking a gamble.

103 is better than 96
The Blazers didn't let tonight's home game be the last game of the season, and they used the right strategy to drag the series to the final game.

In the end, history followed its original trajectory.

Bryant made 24 of 12 shots and scored the highest score of the two teams.

O'Neal's data is not good, 17 of 7 shots, 17 points and 11 rebounds, the lowest since the start of the playoffs.

At the press conference after the game, O'Neal may have been too angry, and he didn't turn his head, and said something ridiculous to the reporters all over the world: "I guarantee that the series will end in the next game!"

Dor.Mo Tucao: Wait a minute, even if you don't guarantee, won't the series end in the next game?
