You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 739 Secret Experiment
After the victory over the 76ers, the morale of the Pistons was boosted, and the momentum was like a bamboo shoot, losing only one game before entering February.

At the beginning of February, the Pistons had a record of 34 wins and 11 losses. Not only surpassed the Knicks and 76ers, and once again became the leader of the Eastern Conference, but also surpassed the Lakers who were caught in civil strife, and became the leader of the league.

Although their dominance in the regular season has declined compared to the previous two seasons, their strength still cannot be underestimated.

With eight days to go before the trade deadline, the Pistons have yet to finalize the extensions of Alan Houston and Ben Wallace.

Wallace asked for a maximum salary and was in a stalemate with the management, while Houston had no intention of renewing his contract.

Although he didn't say anything personally, if he fails to renew his contract before the trade deadline, he will officially enter the free market after the end of the season.

It seemed like a better decision for him personally.

Because Houston has been the Pistons' No. [-] or No. [-] -- Rasheed's fans think Rasheed is the Pistons No. [-] -- and hasn't quite proven himself.

This season, with Mo Mengchen deliberately reducing his shots, Houston's scoring average reached 24 points, setting a new career high. Such statistics prove that he is indeed a capable scorer, and it is only good for him to test the free market.

Although Houston did not renew the contract in advance, it did not have any impact within the team. It was a war between the agent and the management, and the players just played the game.

There are still seven days before the All-Star Weekend, and the Pistons have four players selected for the All-Star Weekend this year.

They are the three young masters of the Pistons and Rashid.

Mo Mengchen became the top voter for two consecutive years, and Hill's number of votes was second only to Mo Mengchen, ranking second in the league. Houston played the best season of his career, relying on the power of the fans, he was forced to vote for him.

A team has four All-Stars. Before the Pistons, it only appeared four times in history.

Twice from the Celtics, once from the Lakers, and once from the 76ers.

The Pistons still have four games to play before the All-Star break.

Today, they will conduct a completely closed training.

The Pistons' training is not a mystery to the fans. Usually, it is basically semi-open. The media can come to take pictures, and the TV station can come to do programs at any time.

They no longer want to hang the skin of isolation, they want the Pistons to become a symbol of Detroit, therefore, must maintain a close relationship with the media.

Completely enclosed training like today is rare.

The game is divided into two teams.

White Team: Mo Mengchen, Ginobili, Hill, Rasheed and Miller.

Black Team: Ricky Davis, Lowe, Houston, Wallace, Lauderdale.

Moreover, both teams have assigned interim head coaches.

The coach of the white team is Charlie McCann, and the coach of the black team is Frouseth.

This arrangement made this match special.

Beside Westphal stood the rest of the coaching staff, some of them were taking notes carefully, while others were watching carefully.

If it was a normal intra-team match, they wouldn't do it.

There is a coach who explained that the match will not allow the black and white teams to play casually, they must follow the tactics.

At this point, the ball is in the hands of the White team.

Mo Mengchen took the ball to the half court, Rashid made a low post, and Miller took the ball from a high post.Hill and Mo Mengchen ran crosswise. Miller took the ball in his hand and observed carefully. He suddenly found that there was a problem with the black team's defense.

Ginobili cuts smartly and catches the ball for a layup.

"It's unbelievable how quickly these guys picked up on Princeton."

Assistant coach Ben Pei, who only joined the Pistons this season, said.

His name is very strange, there is only one pronunciation.

Moreover, what Pei Chuan couldn't understand was that Mo Mengchen liked to pronounce his name upside down.

Mo Mengchen always called him "Pei Ben".

He once asked Mo Mengchen why he called him that, but the latter didn't answer, and the matter was left alone. After all, it was just a title, and it didn't sound like an insulting term.

"Although they get started quickly, this is just the most basic Princeton." Black assistant coach Jonathan Timothy shook his head.

At this time, the black team played a run and bomb under the leadership of Davis.Their offense was fierce. With Davis as the leader, they launched an eagle-style attack from the flanks. The white team's lineup needs speed, speed, height and height, but it lacks inside defense. Rashid and Miller's help defense combined Not as powerful as a Wallace.

Davis singled out Mo Mengchen, strong with speed and strength, and succeeded in attacking the basket.

Mo Mengchen and Ginobili are both on the white team, so on the black team's side, Davis temporarily plays the No. 1 position, which is why he and Mo Mengchen are playing against each other.

Offensive and defensive exchanges, the black team, in order to achieve the effect of simulating the opponent, they let Wallace, who has a stronger defense, play power forward, do some laborious physical work, and then let Lauderdale sit in the center, the Chicago Giants Although he is 224 cm tall, his help defense is several dimensions worse than Wallace's.

He is also tall and tall, but he is only a little bit like O'Neill, that is, he can't defend against pick-and-rolls. When he meets Princeton, who is full of flowers, his eyes are smeared, and he doesn't know what to do.

That's what this rivalry is about.

In order to deal with the Lakers, Mo Mengchen suggested to Westphal to organize a special lineup to practice Princeton.

Westphal hesitated for a few days at first, then decided it was worth a shot, and then ran into another annoyance.He doesn't know what kind of lineup to organize to play Princeton.

As a result, Mo Mengchen, who had prepared a long time ago, told him the list.

It was the five members of the white team.

That's why today's confrontation is here. This is the first time for the five members of the white team to officially use Princeton. At present, they can only play some simple routines. Both Rashid and Miller are learning how to be the axis of this system. Heart.

To make full use of Princeton, you must first have at least one player who can average 5 assists per game.

As it happens, there is one and a half on the side of the piston.

Miller counts as one, and Rashid counts as half. Their support may not be as good as Webber and Divac, a pair of rare supporters in history, but they are still enough to support the system.

It just takes time to practice.

There are two months left in the regular season. If the Lakers are regarded as the imaginary opponent of the finals, they still have four months to train.

Four months is enough time for them to master Princeton, which is definitely an adventure.

It took four months to practice a completely unfamiliar system, just to make a cold shot in the finals.

How many games can this system, which is not even a semi-finished product, help the Pistons win?

Mo Mengchen wasn't sure, but he believed that as long as they practiced for four months and then put out this lineup at a critical moment, the Lakers would be at a loss.

At that time, O'Neal will be like Lauderdale now, feeling at a loss about his situation.

The confrontation lasted 10 minutes. Although the white team had three absolute main players, the black team played the running and bombing that the Pistons are best at. The suspense of the confrontation lasted until the end. Hill held the ball and hit the lore as the result. .

As soon as the game was over, Ginobili got down on the spot.

Playing for 10 minutes in a row, the ball was rarely touched, just running, walking, and interspersing.

The confrontation given by the black team was not weak at all. After the whole game, from a psychological point of view, it was definitely a torment.

"What do you think about Princeton?" McCann, who was the interim coach of the White team, asked with a smile.

"I couldn't find my part," Hill said, sitting up.

The black team's ability to drag the game to the last moment has a lot to do with Hill and Mo Mengchen's inability to exert their strength.

Mo Mengchen and Hill are the strongest players in the Pistons. If they can't show their strength in Princeton's system, then Princeton is just a show.

The problem lies in this. Princeton is a system with the inside as the core. The two insiders must have an exquisite pass, and they must stand in high and low positions.

Only when Princeton can't play, will the outside line be singled out.

"I'm so tired, I think it's a good tactic," the Argentine gasped, "but I'm so tired, I have to keep running!"

Yes, what Ginobili said was at the heart of Princeton.

The ball is moving and moving. When the outside line runs to the position, the inside pass must keep up.

Ginobili found the right position as soon as he came up, which was a bit beyond McCann's expectation.

Finally, McCann looked at the key figure, the one who had given Westphal this advice: "Mo, what do you think?"

"Want to hear the truth?" Mo Mengchen asked.

McCann raised his eyebrows, "Of course!"

At least Mo Mengchen still has opinions to say, which shows that he has some emotions about this game, unlike Hill who has nothing.

"This game is boring."

"Everyone's positioning is too rigid."

Mo Mengchen lightly stepped on the three-point line: "Why do I have to stand here?"

"Mo, your three-pointer is the most threatening." McCann didn't expect Mo Mengchen to deny the three-pointer as soon as he came up.

"Big mistake!" Mo Mengchen didn't give McCann any face, "The three-pointer is just one of my weapons, not the one that threatens me the most."

Mo Mengchen said: "Rashid and Brad can pass good balls, but to be honest, they are not players like Chris Webber, Sabonis, Divac, and Bill Walton."

The audience was silent, this was Dor.Mo's moment.

"If we learn from Princeton the way we have, we're going to end up losing badly because it's not the best way to play for us."

Except for Westphal and Frauses, few members of the coaching staff could get a compliment from Mo Mengchen.

McCann was also used to Mo Mengchen's fierce words, so he asked, "Mo, what do you mean?"

Mo Mengchen said: "Let the tactics adapt to us, not let us adapt to the tactics."

　I didn't notice that the monthly pass broke a hundred, and I'm a little bit Buddha-like recently.Add more tomorrow.
