You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 717 Failed Test

After 4 minutes, Mo Mengchen found that O'Neal and Bender were a very well-matched inside combination.

Jermaine O'Neal is good at low-post operations and has a variety of footwork; Bender can be regarded as a small Garnett, and he shoots better three-pointers. He is full of talent on the defensive end. The coverage of the penalty area, the offensive end, and his three-pointers meet O'Neal's needs, just like the Lakers' big sharks need AC Green and Horry to help him stretch the space.

This pair of offensive and defensive insiders appeared in the Pacers at the same time, and they were both young. They were both geniuses who skipped college and joined the NBA directly. The Pacers not only hold the present, but also have the future.

The talent of the Pacers shined in Auburn Hills, coupled with the defensive system left by Bird, it was just used to deal with the Pistons. After 5 minutes, they turned away and took the lead 11 to 7.

After another 2 minutes, Mo Mengchen and Hill joined hands to recover the point difference.

14 to 14 draw.

Westphal asked for a timeout, three ups and three downs.

Manu Ginobili, Lowe and Davis replaced the Pistons.

As soon as he entered the court, Davis was very charismatic, lashing out at Fang Qiu, directing Lore and Ginobili to move around, controlling the ball in his hands, as if he was the boss on the court.

Davis obviously underestimated Jaylen Rose. After the matchup, the confrontation was overwhelmed, and he couldn't use his skills, so he could only pass the ball to Rasheed.

Rashid pushes away O'Neal with all his strength, turns over and shoots a jumper with straight arms, but the touch is not good, and the shot misses the basket and flies out.

The Pacers immediately counterattacked.

"Ricky has held the ball for too long." Although Barkley, who is basically in a semi-retired state, has been playing with the team, he has no record of playing this season. "Manu should become the second ball-holding point on the outside."

The situation was like this, but Ginobili didn't take the initiative to ask Davis for the ball. He was an uncontested person, and Davis' status in the team was higher than him. Therefore, he was willing to be a stand-in Angle of positioning shooter.

It is probably only Mo Mengchen who knows how wasteful it is to let Ginobili be a shooter.

Although the Pacers also have substitutions, Thomas does not like to carry out large-scale rotations like Westphal. His substitutions are very cautious. The main rotation of each game is only eight people at most. If the opponent is too strong, it may There are only seven people.

Less rotation will cause players to fatigue, and the longer the game time, the lower the efficiency of the players, but it can also concentrate the output of the strongest combat power in the team, and the number of times the first team will face the opponent's second team will increase.

Davis also has a touch of long-range shooting tonight. Although he can make a one-on-one breakthrough, the no-fly zone formed by Bender and O'Neal is not a joke. Every time he goes to the basket, he can only pass the ball.

The scary thing is that Bender's flexibility is so good that after assisting him in defense, he can also chase the ball passed by him and defend in place.

If you only look at the data and don't study it carefully, Davis's performance is not bad. Ginobili and Lore have given him limited help. Only a small number of people will lead to another question: why can't Davis bring them to play? strike?
It's not that Ginobili and Davis don't have chemical reactions. In fact, the two had sparks on the court last season.At that time, Ginobili had the ball in his hands, and Davis was only positioned as an offensive player with the ball, instead of controlling the overall situation after Mo Mengchen and Hill were off the court as he is now.

Within 5 minutes, Davis could be said to be the boss on the field. As a result, after the first quarter, the Pacers led the Pistons by 26 points 19 to 7.

In the past 5 minutes, Davis not only played a bad game rhythm, but also caused the Pistons to fall into an ugly scoring drought.

"These 5 minutes are very interesting, and it can reflect some problems." Frauses took notes in detail, "Ricky Davis does not have the ability to coordinate the overall situation. At this stage, Ricky Davis and Dor .Mo, Grant play a better game together than the others.”

why?
Does that mean he's already a starter?No, this just shows that he has gone astray. Only when he competes with Mo Mengchen and others, he will lower his body to do some thankless work. When he is with other people, he regards himself as the boss .

An excellent boss can't eat meat by himself, while others drink northwest wind.

Unfortunately, Davis is such a boss.

Westphal also discovered this. In the second quarter, he did not replace Davis, who brought the rhythm into a mess, but asked Mo Mengchen and Hill to replace Lol and Ginobili.

The Pacers wanted to make an alley-oop for Bender, but unfortunately the pass was not good. Bender was stuck and couldn't jump up. His fingers touched the ball symbolically at the end and failed to touch the ball to the basket.

Wallace protected the rebound and threw the ball hard.

The Pistons counterattacked in three lines. These three are the most athletic people on the Pistons field.

Mo Mengchen is in the middle, Hill and Davis are left and right.

Mo Mengchen initially attracted defensive firepower and passed the ball to the left. Hill's sudden attack defeated the Pacers' defense and sent the ball into the sky. Davis jumped up like a diving fish. This was a textbook three-line counterattack.

21 is better than 26
"You know how to play more easily, why don't you understand this when you are playing with other people?"

When returning to defense, Mo Mengchen asked Davis.

Davis couldn't answer, because he played with Mo Mengchen and Hill, and he knew that he couldn't dominate the ball. He was convinced by the strength of these two.

With others, he didn't think so.

In his view, when playing with others, his role is that of Mo Mengchen and Hill, responsible for creating opportunities for others.

Once a person's self-confidence is too high, it is difficult to calm down.

Mo Mengchen discovered the problem. Davis may no longer be selfish, nor is he a disgusting cancer like in his previous life, but he still needs to learn.

This is the last lesson.

The Pistons' coaching staff focused on the game on the court. They wanted to see if the three of them could still play the sense of sight of the triangle offense.

Before, the magic power was low, and the effect was not visible. It was not effective against the Raptors, so what about the Pacers?

The Pacers are a strong defensive team and one of the Pistons' regular season sufferers. If the game against them can play an effect against the Magic, it means that this system is worth developing.

For the Pacers, they handed the ball to young talent.

Bender faced Rasheed, outside the three-point line, roared Tianzun guessed that the opponent would complete the attack with a three-pointer, and he guessed half of it.If his defense wasn't so tight, Bender might have just shot a three-pointer and done it.

The two stood in a stalemate for three seconds, and Bender finally made a move. He is like a killer. Accelerating, Rashid didn't pay attention, and Bender broke through in a blink of an eye.

In the next second, the flying dragon was in the sky.

"This talent seems to be overflowing!" Vinier Johnson said with emotion after watching the dunk, "This young man is really amazing!"

28 is better than 21
On the outside line, the three of the Pistons stood still.

The Pacers' defense proves that they are different from the Magic. They are full of oppression, and the confrontation and strength are just right. The defensive rotation is like a high-density mechanism that has been run through a machine. It is impossible to penetrate such a defense with a rough triangle offense. .

The fatal flaw of the Pistons' triangle offense is that it only has a shell of the triangle offense, and the tactic of launching the system is still the original run-and-gun. A system that doesn't count really can't be put on the table.

The tactics were interrupted, and the triangle offense system practically delayed the operation of the run-and-gun tactics, and Mo Mengchen was finally forced to play singles.

In less than ten seconds, Mo Mengchen lightly slapped the ball from behind, catching the breakthrough gap, Bender's position, Jermaine O'Neal's position, and in an instant, at least three flaws appeared.

The gap between the Smiling Assassin and Bird is too great, and he can't tap the potential of this team at all.

Seeing the walker's flaw, Mo Mengchen strode forward. Best's name did not bring luck, and bad luck had already befallen him.

Regardless of the friendship of his classmates, Dor.Mo pierced his defense like a piece of paper, rushed to the basket, and scored a layup with a change of hand.

23 is better than 28
"Enough, Mo!"

Westphal called out to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen nodded, expressing his understanding that the tactics have been tried almost. For Davis, this is bad news.

It was his only chance to squeeze Houston's starting job, and he failed.

The Pistons' triangular offense has a limited actual effect and can only be used to deal with weak teams, but they are destined not to be a team that struggles to deal with weak teams.

Their triangle offense can't even beat the Pacers ruled by the Smiling Assassin. If they show off in front of Zen Master and the Lakers, isn't that a big knife in front of Guan Gong?
The Pacers' counterattack was in place immediately, and this group of young people played with passion, each of them wanted to take advantage of the good momentum, and suddenly ended up with the Pistons.

This time, Rashid was afraid of Bender's breakthrough, so he stepped back a little bit in defense. Seeing how Tianzun was so defensive, the young genius was even more impolite, and raised his hand for a three-pointer without saving face.

"Shh!"

31 is better than 23
Rashid was about to make excuses for his defensive failure, when Mo Mengchen stuffed the ball into his arms: "Don't explain, I'm ashamed of you."

Being ridiculed by Mo Mengchen, Rasheed was furious, and in order to prevent Bender, he made an aggressive defense. Not only did he fail to prevent Bender, but he handed over a T, and the Pacers made two free throws and one throw.

Playing and playing, the Pacers have more and more leads. It is estimated that even Thomas did not expect that they would have a chance to lead the Pistons by 16 points at halftime in Auburn Hills.

Is this dreaming?
