You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 713 Wise People and Idiots
The Magic resisted tenaciously and couldn't stand the Pistons' second team.

After the second team established its advantage, the main force returned, and Hill's condition recovered, and then there was no more.

The Pistons bombed wildly, reappearing the true colors of the food abuser, 137 to 99, and beat the Magic away by 38 points.

Although he didn't play well in the first quarter, Hill made a late move and scored a game-high 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists; Ricky Davis lived up to the name of the king of food abuse, played 29 minutes and scored the first in the team. The second highest score was 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists; in this kind of abusive game, Mo Mengchen's statistics were always inconspicuous, he scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists.

A total of six Pistons scored in double figures. This was a full-fire game. The Magic, which could not rely on confrontation to slow down the rhythm, finally collapsed under the same pressure.

Orlando fans who had planned to watch the Pistons make a fool of themselves could only ask innocuous questions after the game.

"For us, this is just a regular season. I'm glad we won." Mo Mengchen didn't show any joy for this big victory. His contempt made the media unhappy, but what can they do?
Before the game started, Mo Mengchen said that there was no suspense in this game, and they refused to accept it.

After watching the game, there was really no suspense in this game.

The Magic not only failed to fulfill the expectations of the outside world, but also allowed the Pistons to score 130 in a single game for the first time this season. This is definitely a shameful statistic.

Because every team is trying to slow down the game, keep the Pistons from scoring high, and even if they win, the Magic are doing the opposite.

Under the background of anti-pistons all over the world, they actually sent such a refreshing game that made the urinary tract unobstructed when the piston was depressed.

After the press conference, the Pistons returned to the hotel.

Tonight's game was won beautifully, and the atmosphere in the locker room was much more relaxed. Davis proposed to go out to relax, and many people agreed. Mo Mengchen was not interested in participating, and went back to the hotel with Hill.

For five years, Mo Mengchen and Hill seldom attended their parties. They were either having fun in nightclubs or visiting strip clubs. I really didn't know what was going on in these two places.

Hill came from a noble family, and he didn't like these places. Mo Mengchen didn't get used to them at all, so they didn't socialize much with other people on weekdays.

That night, Mo Mengchen asked the team staff for the game video, and focused on reviewing the second quarter, the few minutes when they played the smoothest.

He was surprised to find that they played the triangle offense for a few minutes?
There are no fixed rules for the triangle offense. A more concrete way of saying it is to open up the space and try to transfer the ball to the strong and weak side to avoid being blocked and double-teamed by the opponent.When it comes to a specific offense, every player involved is required to have the ability to read the offense and have the ability to pass, run, and shoot comprehensively.

This is the core concept of tactics, but how to do it specifically needs to distinguish the core players.

In 89, Zen Master replaced Doug Collins as the head coach of the Bulls. In the first season, Zen Master did not play the triangle offense. In the Eastern Conference Finals of 90, the Pistons defeated the Bulls in the tiebreaker. In the summer of this year, Zen Master and Jordan had a frank talk.

At the time, Jackson was still saying, "We need teammates to integrate into the team; you have to trust your teammates more; the Pistons relied on the team to beat us", and then figured out: "You may have to play less games ... you may have to give up the scoring champion. "

Jordan was so proud that he wanted to succeed and keep the scoring title at the same time. He accepted the triangle offense, but he didn't give up the scoring title. The years from 90 to 93 were the peak of Jordan's personal ability. Combining personal ability and tactical system, the Bulls won three consecutive championships; after Jordan retired, when he returned again, his ability may only be 80% of the Bulls' first dynasty. Jordan can no longer dominate the game like he did during the first dynasty, so he must change his approach. According to statistics, during the second dynasty of the Bulls, Jordan's assist rate reached 90%.

The flying man has changed from a dominant commander to a dominant terminator. Although the Bulls have established dynasties twice, as the core players age, the tactical system is not consistent.

The Pistons' game in the past few minutes is the triangle offense of the Bulls' second dynasty.

Although it's just a resemblance.

Mo Mengchen, Hill and Davis are like the outside iron triangle of the Bulls, Qiaopi + Harper.

It's just that they haven't systematically studied the triangle offense. Although the concept is correct, the tactics are still their own. These tactics are quite effective in the run-and-gun system, but they are a waste of time in the triangle offense system.

Mo Mengchen calculated carefully, and the Pistons played the triangle offense for about 4 minutes.

Although it was just formalism, they unknowingly played the triangle offense.Judging from the effect, they do have the capital to play the triangle offense, but Westphal knows nothing about the triangle offense.

The same goes for Mo Mengchen. As an opponent, he knows the flaws of the triangle offense, but he doesn't know how to start learning the triangle offense from scratch.

The risks of tearing down and rebuilding a system during a season are enormous.

One of the reasons why they were able to play the triangle offense tonight was the opponent's strength. The Magic couldn't do anything about the Pistons, who had temporarily changed their formation.

The Magic's strength is limited. As long as the Pistons change, they will mess up their own positions. If such a change is faced with those powerful enemies who know the Pistons, they will be easily uprooted.

The unknown is indeed fascinating, and the history of mankind is the history of exploring the unknown.

But that doesn't mean they have to bravely step into unknown territory anytime, anywhere.

Mo Mengchen turned off the video. A Pistons-like victory does not mean that the team is on the right track. At this time last year, he was already planning how to deal with the Lakers. Now that the team is full of internal problems, he has no energy to deal with the Lakers.

Fortunately, their first game against the Lakers was scheduled for the Christmas game, so they still have some time to adjust before Christmas comes.

"boom!"

There was a knock at the door, and he could have rang the bell.

Mo Mengchen walked to the door—Mo Mengchen: Do you want to bet?I bet it's Hill outside! ——opened the door and saw Brad Miller holding several bottles of vodka in his hand.

Mo Mengchen sized him up a few times: "What's wrong?"

"Father, I can't find anyone to drink."

"Why don't you go to the nightclub with them?"

"They think I drink too much"

Mo Mengchen didn't intend to drink with him, but he didn't want to keep this big guy out, so he opened the door and Miller came in.

He also has doubts about Miller.

Also positioned as a substitute, he also has considerable strength to hit the starting lineup, but his ambition is not as strong as Davis.

"Father, take a whole bite?"

There is a passage in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button": Elizabeth taught Benjamin how to enjoy caviar with vodka, shell (or plastic?) small spoon to send some caviar into the mouth, and squeeze the round and moist caviar with his tongue and palate. Feel the freshness and the faint smell of the sea, don't swallow it all, at this time, take a sip of vodka, and the climax will come.
Mo Mengchen is not interested in alcohol, he just thinks it's just drinking, why do so many tricks?
Everyone knows about Miller's vastness, and Mo Mengchen didn't want to seek abuse, so he opened the refrigerator equipped with the hotel, and there was some juice in it, and he said, "How about this, you drink and I drink juice?"

"no problem!"

Miller responded loudly, and suddenly saw several video recordings on the table. He opened them and looked at them. His experience told him that they were video recordings of the game.

"Do you want to study tonight's game?" Miller asked in surprise.

"Don't you think it was particularly interesting for a few minutes?" Because Miller was on the court during that time, he must have an impression.

Miller immediately remembered those few minutes, drank half a bottle of vodka, he hiccupped, and said: "The game was really smooth in those few minutes, but that's not our tactic."

"Indeed." Mo Mengchen looked at the speed at which he took several sips of a bottle of vodka, and began to believe that he was the runner-up of the Detroit Drunk Olympics for two consecutive times.

Miller usually has no interest in the game, he has many hobbies, basketball is just work for him.

Perhaps because of this, he has no requirements for role positioning?

If it was really that simple, Mo Mengchen would be relieved.

History tells him that things will never be so simple.

Miller's origin is like an inspirational drama. He was born in the poor countryside of Indiana, a small town called Kendallville. He can be said to be a typical American "redneck" and "hillbilly".Growing up with an older sister, mother and grandmother, his father abandoned the family when Miller was in kindergarten.

Another child abandoned by his father.

This kind of thing seems to happen to American athletes a lot?

Height is probably the best talent bestowed on him by his father, but he has height but does not have the corresponding physical fitness, so he was looked down upon by scouts in the draft, and the Pistons were able to select him with the last pick.

No one knew that this big white player who seemed only suitable for low-level leagues could grow so fast.

His versatility is the basis for the Pistons' future transformation.

The so-called omnipotence means being able to adapt to any system, having comprehensive skills, and being able to compete in different environments.

Miller has that.

He came from the bottom, the type of player who usually has a gritty will, always wanting to climb up, but that quality didn't seem to be present in Miller, or, for some reason, he didn't show it.

The biggest difference between a smart man and a fool is that he will never let the opportunity pass by when it comes.

Mo Mengchen believes that Miller is not a person who does not seek to make progress. The current dormancy may be just waiting for an opportunity. After all, there is only one year left in Ben Wallace's contract.
