You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 706 The Quietly Transformed CIC King
"You played a high-quality technical and tactical level in only halftime. Is this your goal?"

At the scene, ESPN reporters interviewed Hardaway and asked him his views on the first half.

How would you describe tonight's first half?The Knicks acted as hard as a rock. They let the Pistons, who had achieved two consecutive championships, fall into a scorching muscle battle.

54 is better than 50
The Pistons hold a 4-point lead, which is not something to be happy about.

"Instead of leading the opponent by 4 points at halftime, they would definitely prefer to score 70 points at halftime."

"The latter shows that the Pistons performed very well tonight, while the former directly proves that they struggled and failed to play the most comfortable game rhythm."

"A 4-point advantage is nothing to this game."

For the Pistons, their best player in the half was Alan Houston. As the main attacker, he scored a total of 22 points, nearly half of the team's total points.

You know, in the past two seasons, he can only be regarded as the third attacker of the Pistons.

The chief attacker is Hill, the second scorer is Mo Mengchen, who has become more and more present, and then him.

Although the three Pistons are equally famous, the CIC king is always the one who is ignored.

Both Devil Hills and Dor.Mo have MVPs, and Houston's biggest achievement so far is being selected to the All-Star list last season.

No one wants to survive in the shadows. Judging from tonight's opening game, it's time for Houston to prove his strength. This is his contract year. Whether for himself or for the next contract, he needs to prove himself.

The third junior of the Pistons, he joined the team the earliest and the oldest, but now he has the smallest achievements. It would be a lie to say that he has no ideas.

Mo Mengchen also noticed this, so when he saw Houston feeling hot, he fed him the ball continuously, and he also repaid Mo Mengchen's trust with efficient scoring.

In the halftime lounge, Westphal focused on praising Jerome Williams, and then gently criticized Rashid: "No matter how much dissatisfaction we have, we should put the team first, and we should not play for temper. Not thinking about the overall situation is not only a shame for the efforts of others, but also a shame for my own salary."

That was serious criticism for Westphal, and although his tone was light, it still made Rashid hang his head.

No one comforted him, because his outburst was indeed incomprehensible, as if he had entered the game with anger from the beginning.

Halftime was over quickly, and Westphal set Houston as the first finisher because he really hit the ground running tonight.

At the end of the intermission, Mo Mengchen walked out of the locker room with his teammates.

At the beginning of the second half, Houston walked to the right and gestured to Mo Mengchen for the ball.

In the Pistons, the CIC has always played the role of a corner three-pointer and a catch-and-shoot player. Under such a background, he has no chance to practice offense with the ball.

Tonight, he rarely asked Mo Mengchen for a ball.

Mo Mengchen told the others to disperse, then called Houston to his side, and passed the ball hand to hand.

Houston held the basketball around his waist and made continuous tentative steps. He found that it was not so troublesome. The superfluous tentative steps made Steve Smith's defense look good.

Actually?Houston only needs a strong side dribble to break through his defense, take the ball outside the paint area at once, collect the ball, turn around, stand on tiptoes with two steps, and put his body in the air, showing an elegant posture Stance, this is the Allan Houston his teammates have never seen.

In other words, this is the Houston that other teammates have never seen except Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen had seen such a Houston in his previous life.

The Houston in front of him is no longer the one who is keen to open up space for his teammates, keeps running and moving, and starts the tactical machine like a perpetual motion machine. He has begun to learn to attack with the ball, just like this ball.

Smith turned over and hit a jumper one-on-one.

56 is better than 50
This is Alan Houston in his previous life, who scored the 53+5+4 CIC king on top of Kobe Bryant at his peak.

It was also the first time for the audience to see Houston like this. They all stood up and cheered loudly. Houston also turned around and roared with fists. He finally let the world see his ability.

"It actually went in."

Although not surprising.

Mo Mengchen waved his hand, Houston gave a narcissistic narcissism, high-fived Mo Mengchen, Piston retreated.

Hardaway came over with the dribble, and first had an anxious stalemate with Mo Mengchen on the outside, only to hear the sound of muscle collision inside. It was this brutal confrontation that they used to make it difficult for the Pistons to play a fast-paced game.

However, they can fight, and so can the Pistons.

The biggest difference between the Pistons and the running and bombing teams of the past is that once they are forced to rush and cannot play running and bombing, they can also slow down. If you want to play, you can play with you.

The special thing about the Pistons is that "we can handle any trouble."

If it is really a confrontation, they may not lose.Just like now, the Knicks' confrontation really prevented them from playing the offense with the highest scoring average in history, but the recovered Pistons also began to use confrontation to feed back their opponents.

In the end, the Knicks were helplessly defended. Houston hit Smith hard, and the defensive end stuck to him.

Hardaway chose to do it himself, starting from outside the three-point line and slowly advancing. His time was limited, and Mo Mengchen was always ready to take off and block the shot.

Hardaway was careless. Mo Mengchen's jumping speed was a matter of the finals. He didn't know how fast Mo Mengchen could jump now. It doesn't work anymore.

Hardaway's turnaround jumper was blocked by Mo Mengchen, and the basketball was directly shot out of bounds.

"Dorrrr~~~~Mo!!!"

There were thunderous cheers at the scene, and the biggest cheering sound was dedicated to their heroes.

Mo Mengchen stood beside him, Nix only had one second left, Hardaway took a deep look at him, and said, "I don't understand you more and more."

Just like I don't understand you either.

Mo Mengchen raised his head arrogantly, making the booing from the audience even more enthusiastic. At the last second, the ball was served immediately without any room for hesitation.

Outside, Smith caught the ball for a three-pointer and hit the iron.

Jerome Williams slammed Camby away fiercely, and put the rebound in his arms abruptly.

The crowd was deafening, and it was a testament to just how popular Williams is with fans.

Seeing him hugging the ball like a child, Mo Mengchen only respected him, but also worried: "I don't need to remind you to protect yourself."

"Dad, I heard that bullets on the battlefield will bypass those who are not afraid of death." Williams passed the ball with a smile.

This is definitely one of the biggest rumors on the battlefield, a ridiculous rhetoric to confuse soldiers to charge to death.

Mo Mengchen didn't answer him, this is an opportunity, now the Pistons lead by 6 points, as long as they score this goal, the point difference will widen.

Opponents' minds can sometimes be connected. Penny is one of the players who understands Mo Mengchen's thoughts best. When he sees Mo Mengchen's expression, he knows that Dor.Mo is uneasy and kind.

Mo Mengchen's face smiled like a blooming flower - bright, but also cold-blooded - Penny didn't have any chances, he knew better than anyone what a ruthless killer he was facing.

However, I will not lose!Penny believes that his strength is above that of Mo Mengchen, as long as he defends with all his strength
When you make up your mind to do something well, reality will always slap you in the face.

It was only a fake action of collecting the ball and shooting. Penny was swayed by Mo Mengchen. The audience laughed loudly. Mo Mengchen moved quickly to the right. Before Penny could catch up, he collected the ball and shot it. bag.

59 is better than 50
Van Gundy had no choice but to ask for a timeout. This is the style of the Pistons. As long as they are given a chance, they can quickly open the score. The offense of this group is indeed fierce.

No one noticed that this was Mo Mengchen's 8th point tonight. Counting other contributions, his statistics were 8 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block.

"As long as there is Dor.Mo, I have full confidence in the Pistons' defense!" Johnson said confidently, "This is a guy who can make people feel at ease all the time!"

After the timeout ended, the Pistons looked for a breakthrough from Pippen.

Pippen, who will be 36 years old in two months, is still the Knicks' most reliable defensive gate on the perimeter. No one knows Pippen's power better than the New Yorkers. As one of the biggest victims of the Bulls dynasty, the Knicks not only knew Jordan's terror, but also knew Pippen's defensive ability.

That's why they're willing to hand over the perimeter to the soon-to-be-36-year-old.

On the offensive end, years of game experience allowed him to help the Knicks.Against Hill, Pippen had no advantages in all aspects, but relying on experience, he used the inside card to get rid of the defense, dribble to the left and hit the board with a jumper.

52 is better than 59
Hill, who was scored by the old man, couldn't stand like this, and his back run was the response.

Mo Mengchen tacitly ran into the basket and picked up the floor ball. When Pippen yelled to return to the defense, it was too late.

Mo Mengchen grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it high into the sky. If they only looked at the power of this ball, most people would think it would go out of bounds.

The speed of the ball gradually weakened, accurately pointing the direction for Hill, leading people with the ball, and being in place at the same time. In just three seconds, Hill returned the humiliation brought by Pippen.

A beautiful dunk caused the audience to exclaim.

"A connection from the best defender and the best striker in the game!"

Johnson yelled excitedly and uttered a controversial commentary.

　Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month, and there will be an update today.
