You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 681 Never Say Never
The just-concluded third quarter was like a nightmare for Fisher.

When Mo Mengchen hit him, he didn't even need to run. If he got an open spot, it was just a shot, and he couldn't do anything.

When attacking, Mo Mengchen clung to him all the way, from beginning to end, without giving any space, Fisher had nothing to do.

For the Lakers' triangle offensive system, Mo Mengchen is their perfect No. 1 position, with height, speed, and ability to shoot three-pointers.

Looking at Mo Mengchen's performance in the third quarter, Zen Master couldn't help but imagine what kind of height the Lakers would reach if the current OK and Mo Mengchen were added.

Surpassing the Bull Dynasty may not be a pipe dream.

This kind of thinking can only be thought about casually in one's own mind, it is not practical at all, and there are more important things to be solved right now.

How to defend Mo Mengchen is a problem.

In the third quarter, he completely found the touch.

Three-point long shots, emergency stop jump shots, as long as he is given a little space, or the person defending him is Fisher, he will definitely pull up and shoot.

What is puzzling is why he can jump so high?He definitely didn't have such a high jumper height before.

This problem troubled the Lakers for a whole quarter. Mo Mengchen scored 21 points in a single quarter and led the Pistons to expand the score.

After the third quarter, the score on the court was 84 to 70, and the Lakers trailed by as much as 14 points.

"Brothers, give me the ball, and I will lead you to win!"

Before the fourth quarter, O'Neal called out to his teammates.

When O'Neill spoke to the media, he was hilarious and nonsense everywhere, but when he spoke in the team, he sounded like his stepfather's military tone.

Once that happens, everyone listens to him, including Kobe.

The current O'Neal is indeed thriving in the Lakers team. Even if the two teams are gathered together, he is also the most outstanding one.

The biggest difference between him and the past is that he is becoming more and more aggressive. He knows that there is not much time left for him. Most of the legendary superstars at his age are achieving supremacy, and he must not fall behind.

On the Pistons side, the inside line is very tense.

Wallace backed four fouls, Rasheed backed three fouls, and there was still a full quarter of the game.

At the beginning, the Pistons played an eagle attack first.

Hill continued to change directions and dribble, and finally shook the defense and scored with a strong attack.

86 is better than 70
For the Lakers, every increase in the point difference is bad news.

O'Neal yelled for his teammates to pass the ball. His voice was too loud, and he indirectly told his opponent that he couldn't pass the ball.

Therefore, the moment O'Neal took the ball, Mo Mengchen and Hill double-teamed him at the same time.

Under the pincer attack of the three, O'Neill held the ball up calmly, suppressed Wallace with his body, and scored with a hook despite the interference from Hill and Mo Mengchen.

72 is better than 86
"Even if Superman wasn't flying in the sky, you couldn't block his ball!" O'Neill shouted.

"We must cover him once tonight!"

After O'Neal ran away, Mo Mengchen said harshly.

Hill smiled wryly, saying so, but how easy is it?None of them are insiders, and they pay attention to everything. They lack the conditions to block O'Neal. In addition, the latter has such physical conditions. Once he jumps up with the ball, it is almost impossible to block him.

To block O'Neal, one thing is very critical, that is to grasp the time difference.

Jump faster than him, before he rises to the highest point, cover the ball, during this period, the two cannot make physical contact, because with O'Neill's body, a contact may be like being bitten by a fly to him Taking a sip, and for them, it was unbearable.

Mo Mengchen looked at the defender in front of him.

This is probably the most interesting adjustment.

Jackson even had Kobe and Mo Mengchen face off—in recent years, all teams have tried their best to limit Mo Mengchen, because Mo Mengchen, apart from his height and accurate shooting, has been cruel and ruthless in persecuting players in the same position.

He is like a ferocious beast, ready to tear down those who play the 1 position at any time.

As a result, he gained the reputation of being the No. 1 killer. In order to limit him, for example, the Blazers let Sprewell face him, and the Celtics made Bowen face him until tonight. The strong perimeter gate Kobe played against him.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball to Hill, and was about to run a few laps, and Hill passed the ball to Rashid for a back kick.

At this time, back-ups are not rational. Rashid has very few times of back-ups tonight, and the success rate is 0. He has no feeling of back-ups. Did not invest.

The Lakers protected the rebound and were not in a hurry to counterattack.

"In a moment, they're going to surround me with gangster defense. When I pass the ball to you guys, hit some threes for me!"

Before halftime, O'Neal shouted at his teammates, and everyone nodded.

Shark guessed right, although the word gangster might not be the right word.

Terrorists, thugs, bandits, or murderers are more appropriate.

In order to formulate a strategy for double-teaming the Sharks, the Pistons have a defensive team called the Sharks.This team usually consists of two Wallace plus Hill or Houston.

Every time the team starts to operate, the Sharks suffer.

Because their double-teaming was quite rough, even an aristocratic young man like Hill, who always likes to flaunt his loftiness, would fight arrogantly.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to teammates. Devil Mountain is no longer what it used to be.

The ball is passed.

At the top of the arc, Glen Rice made a three-pointer.

"Hit!" Hubie Brown said excitedly, "This is the key to LA's victory! They must hit such a three-pointer!"

75 is better than 86
After 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally began to narrow the score.

With an 11-point difference, as long as they continue to defend the Pistons, they can narrow the point difference to single digits in the next round of offense.

Tenacious defense, no effort to fight off the ball, the madness of the Lakers is quite touching, this group of people really want to win.

Who is not?

Mo Mengchen sneered. Kobe has always been by his side. Is this young man who was selected to the first defensive team at a young age the face of the Lakers for the next 15 years?

Who knows?

The Lakers' defensive strength lasted for 20 seconds, and in the last 4 seconds, Rashid and Mo Mengchen's tacit understanding was so good that it was staggering.

Rashid obviously didn't see Mo Mengchen, but he was covering his back in that deadly position.

The back screen blocked Kobe, and Mo Mengchen ran to the right three-point line to catch the ball and shot at the buzzer.

"No!"

Some fans yelled because they knew what it meant to let that guy shoot.

Silently, the most perfect hollow goal is at the moment of scoring, even the basket seems not to be touched, and it completely passes through the hollow part in the middle of the net.

A defense that tried its best but failed in the end.

"Dor.Mo's shot is still deadly! Lakers fans should be thankful that he stepped on the line with this shot!"

This is Mo Mengchen's 32nd point tonight.

This is the value of the Pistons asking him to find the feel in the first quarter. If he hadn't let him find the feel, and hadn't let him find the rhythm at the risk of falling behind by double digits, he wouldn't be playing so smoothly now.

Kobe has been paying attention to Mo Mengchen. After so many games between the two sides, he still can't grasp the opponent's context.

No matter how he defended, Mo Mengchen could always slip out of the neutral position.

His off-ball position is not top-notch, but he is very good at using tactical lines and teammates' screens.

If you want to rank an active off-ball player, Mo Mengchen is not the number one, but if you want to rank an off-ball tactical running master, he is definitely the best of all players.

Damn cover!Damn the pick and roll!
He didn't know what his opponent was thinking, and it was such a bad defense.

This kind of defense is no different from sending points to him. Whether this is Houston's true level or he is deliberately slack, Kobe will not show mercy.

"Kobe, pass the ball!"

O'Neill yelled when he got to his position.

However, Kobe made a horizontal jump and swayed Houston to make a strong three-pointer.

78 is better than 89
Although O'Neal was dissatisfied, but Kobe made the shot, he had nothing to say.

This kind of defense is suffering for Houston. He can't guarantee that he can prevent Kobe from dying, but his defense can be better than it is now.

This is Mo Mengchen's order, he has never been able to figure out why, he is just sure that the former will never make mistakes, so he persisted until now.

He can always see the effect of the previous arrangement, but now this arrangement, he can't see any benefit to the team.

Dad can't be wrong.

He said it in his mind over and over, and then when everyone was trying to defend, he sold Kobe one opening after another.

"I like the look in your eyes, you are very ambitious." Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball behind him, "Unfortunately, Los Angeles will never be your team."

Hearing this, Kobe stepped forward and gave Mo Mengchen a foul.

The referee blew his whistle and Kobe raised his hand.

"I remember you said," Kobe said coldly, "Never say never."

Does this little clever ghost know how to turn over class notes?
"Because you can't compete with Shaq, the Lakers will always be Shaq's team."

After Mo Mengchen finished speaking, the ball was passed.

Mo Mengchen was about to move, but Kobe saw through the cooperation between Mo Mengchen and Hill, and showed the power of the best team member. With a wave of his arm, Hill's cross pass was interrupted. He picked up the ball, turned around and launched a counterattack.

"Kobe is saving the game for LA!"

"Who would have thought?" exclaimed Brown Sr., "that the outcome of this game would be rewritten by a 22-year-old young man?"

Mo Mengchen caught up with Kobe, but this time, he failed to block him.

Kobe kept an eye out for it. When Mo Mengchen caught up, he actually caught the ball and made a jump. During the process, he circled the ball from his waist to his right hand, jumped up with one foot, and dunked with a 180-degree backhand.

For a while, everyone in Staples was chanting his name.

"Kobeeeeee!!!"

80 to 89, the Lakers finally chased the point difference to single digits. In order to control the rhythm of the game, Westphal got up and asked for a timeout.

"Never say never."

Kobe repeated this sentence to Mo Mengchen, what he once said to O'Neal in the regular season.

Then you rebel quickly, little clever ghost!

What Mo Mengchen saw in Kobe's eyes was not only stubbornness, but also ambition full of desire. Those eyes could not deceive anyone.

What charming eyes!
You are unwilling to be inferior, you have great ambitions, you want to surpass Jordan, you want to step on your predecessors, your biggest stumbling block is the dead fat man behind you, take the first step quickly!
