You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 723

725 The bear is shit

After Thanksgiving, the Pistons extended their winning streak to Game 11 before falling to the No. [-] Knicks for the second time this season.

This is an unsurprising defeat. Teams with a winning streak will become more excited as the winning streak accumulates, and the mood of not wanting to end the winning streak will become more and more heavy as the winning streak increases.

A winning streak will eventually become a burden that needs a proper outlet.

In the game against the Knicks, the Pistons were overwhelmed by the pressure on their bodies. Coupled with meeting a suitable opponent, the Knicks went all out to attack and defend, and defeated the Pistons at home, ending their winning streak.

"New York Times": "Pence proved tonight that he is the league's number one guard!"

Penny hit a triple-double of 30+, and beat Mo Mengchen in both appearance and statistics, but they are currently only ranked third in the Eastern Conference, behind the Pistons and 76ers.

This season, the competition in the East is extremely fierce.

Because there is an extra super strong team, Iverson+Duncan, these two people are not very compatible in terms of playing style, but Duncan has a panacea attribute, and he will not adapt to Iverson's self-centered playing style at first. Larry Brown managed to get the two to spark each other.

In the first game in December, the Pistons met the Knicks.

The Pistons, who have just suffered a defeat, urgently need to get back to their form, but unfortunately their opponent is the 76ers who want revenge.

Iverson and Duncan, both superstars who have been oppressed by the Pistons in recent years, are now huddled together for warmth, and the picture is very big.

The whole world knows that they are aiming to end the Pistons' dominance.

The Pistons and 76ers will play three regular-season games a season, and this is the first.

Duncan alone blew up the Pistons' power forward group.Rashid was ejected by the referee again because he couldn't control his temper; Jerome Williams' ruthlessness was of little use against Duncan; Rashad Lewis had no way to compete with Duncan except for three-pointers. .
With Duncan as the axis, Iverson is responsible for shooting or making those "you can't do anything? Then I have to hit one" bomb balls from the outside.

The power of the two super giants working together is huge. Duncan took over the first half and Iverson took over the third quarter.

After three quarters, the 76ers led the Pistons by 21 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the 76ers fans shouted: "Garbage time!" (garbage time)

Intended to humiliate the Pistons.

This approach finally angered the opponent, and Mo Mengchen scored three consecutive three-pointers and hit Larry Brown's timeout.

Back from the timeout, Hill's singles scored 6 points in a row, and Brown timed out again.

The second timeout ended, and the good tactics didn't even complete the first step. Mo Mengchen stole the serve and passed it to Houston for a fast break dunk.

In 5 minutes, the gap of 21 points became 6 points.

The fans at the scene shut up, and the runaway Pistons brought back the suspense of the game.

The 76ers were supposed to reap the game in the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, but the fans who made trouble caused the Pistons to explode, which made the game suspenseful.

The stable performance of Duncan and Iverson at critical moments made the Pistons helpless to swallow their two-game losing streak.

"With this game, the 76ers surpassed the Pistons and became the top of the Eastern Conference in one fell swoop!"

"This is also the first time the Pistons have suffered a two-game losing streak this season!"

艾弗森40分8助攻，邓肯稳定的26分20篮板4助攻4封盖，里应外合的两位超巨成功捍卫主场。

"They're still the strongest team in the East," Duncan said modestly. "We just got away with winning a game as challengers."

Hearing Duncan's "self-knowledge", Rashid, who was expelled in the first half, couldn't help but fired at the media: "Yes, it was a fluke for them to win. If it weren't for the help of the referee, we would have torn them to pieces!"

That sentence was enough to make the league fine him $[-].

"I don't want to say more, that would seem arrogant."

Mo Mengchen was beside Rashid, he wondered if this big bear had some wrong understanding of the word arrogance, if this is not arrogance, what is arrogance?

"Let's see you at home," Rasheed said sternly.

It's as if Duncan couldn't get 26+20+4+4 if he was on the court.

It's no surprise. Once there is any disturbance in the Pistons, which is closely watched by the United States, the media will make small things big and big things big. If it is a scandal, their ability to fan the flames is even more frightening.

Rasheed's wild words quickly became the quotations for the media to discredit the Pistons.

"Luck is an excuse for the weak and a humble speech for the strong. I hope Rashid and the Pistons will keep this in mind."

The "Los Angeles Post", as the vanguard of many critics of the Pistons, has quite sharp articles.

The Pistons have had a tough season, because each team is particularly targeted at them.

Although the Pistons are not going well, they have always been the focus, while the Lakers are much more low-key. If it weren't for the Los Angeles media's unwillingness to be lonely, no one would know that the Lakers are now firmly at the top of the league.

So far this season, the Lakers have 14 wins and 2 losses.

The loss in the finals was a painful experience for them. It is said that the Sharks worked hard for a summer to dispel the shadow brought by Dor.Mo.

The increasingly mature OK has brought the Lakers to the peak, and the young forward Al Harrington who has gradually grown up is the biggest surprise for the Lakers this season.

The second-round pick in 99 didn't get many opportunities in the first two seasons. He entered the playoffs last season and didn't have much playing time. A high school student selected in the second round.

This season, Harrington's role has increased significantly, and his versatile potential on the offensive end is impressive. Even Horry can't attack like him.

In order to be more suitable for his partner O'Neal, Harrington developed a one-handed three-pointer. Coupled with the original multi-faceted offensive skills, he gradually became one of the Lakers' eight rotations. So far this season, he has played 27 minutes per game and contributed 8 points and 4 rebounds.

The data is inconspicuous, but the role is unique.

He has the vitality and vigor that Horry does not have. Although he may not be as big-hearted as the former at critical moments, Zen Master is more willing to use Harrington in the regular stage.

This is another accident that happened after Mo Mengchen traveled through.

Harrington was picked up by the Lakers.

This is really beyond words.

Fortunately, Harrington's peak period is far from coming, so there is no need to worry about the Lakers having another peak All-Star in addition to OK.

The rise of Harrington has made the Lakers' starting lineup complete. He needs immediate combat power, talent, talent, and space. He perfectly replaced AC Green.

This year's Christmas War, the Pistons' opponent is the Lakers, and they will play away games.

There are still 20 days, and the media is already building momentum.

The Pistons continued to play, and they gradually entered the state. They will not be soft when they encounter weak teams. If they do not win by more than 20 points, they will be considered abnormal.

Alan Houston's scoring average was stable at 24 points, second only to Hill's 25 points. Mo Mengchen's scoring average also dropped to 17 points, which was also stable at this number.

The number of shots has decreased, but Mo Mengchen's rebounds have increased, and his average rebounds have gradually exceeded 8. If this continues, he may have a chance to average 9 rebounds per game.

The Pistons' indirect rebounding strategy makes it extremely easy to get rebounds from the outside. If he wants to play a triple-double season like Westbrook, it's not a bad idea.

The Pistons played an eight-game winning streak in a hurry. During the eight-game winning streak, they averaged 125 points per game and outscored their opponents by 24 points per game, which is extremely brutal.

This winning streak ended with a bang. In the game against the Timberwolves, the two sides played in a huge and mighty three overtime. In the second overtime, Mo Mengchen had cramps when he made the last save and was forced to leave the field. The Pistons were in the third overtime. An overtime crash.

The winning streak ends.

The Timberwolves beat the Pistons 148-144.

Garnett scored an astonishing 40 points, 21 rebounds and 8 assists, the well-deserved best in the game. Even Hill, who scored 50 points, paled in front of this set of statistics.

Tonight's game is also the stinkiest game Houston has played in the past month.

He took 24 shots and only hit 4 goals. The shooting rate is quite ugly.

During the loss, Ricky Davis' agent took the opportunity to fan the flames and once again spread the news that Davis should replace Houston as the starter.

After such a defeat, there are still people who put their minds on this kind of thing, which has a great impact on the morale of the Pistons.

Davis' agent thought this would put pressure on the Pistons, but he angered Mo Mengchen.

On December 12th, the eve of the Bulls game, Mo Mengchen faced the media interview and said with a gloomy face: "I don't think our starting lineup needs to be adjusted. If anyone has an opinion, you can talk to me face to face. If it makes sense, I will It can give up the starting position."

Mo Mengchen supported Houston, stabilized the morale of the Pistons, and made Davis completely desperate.

A desperate Davis turned in a poor report card against the Bulls.

Although the Pistons slaughtered the Bulls by 35 points away, Davis was the only player on the team with a negative efficiency.

After playing the Bulls, the Pistons returned home and beat the Raptors by 10 points, and then won the next game by 12 points, winning three consecutive victories.

This is the last home game before Christmas.

Next, they will go to Los Angeles to prepare for the upcoming Christmas game. The Lakers, currently ranked first in the league, have achieved a record of 23 wins and 4 losses. They are waiting for the arrival of their mortal enemy.

For the Pistons, the biggest problem is that Rasheed Wallace received another technical foul against the Jazz.

A total of 16 personal technical fouls have been made. According to regulations, he will be automatically suspended for one game. That is to say, Rasheed will not be able to play against the Lakers in the Christmas game.

On the morning of December 12, the Pistons arrived at Los Angeles Airport.

Although Rashid was suspended for one game, he still went out with the team, and said arrogantly: "Whether I play or not will not affect tonight's game, we will win!"

It is entirely conceivable how furious the Los Angeles media was when they heard the bear say such bullshit.
