You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 765 Limits
In the third quarter, the game became a tactical practice field for the Pistons.

They took advantage of the decline of the Knicks to make a big fortune in Princeton on this tough team.

First, a classic Princeton tactic-Rashid stood high, Mo Mengchen gave the ball, then turned and cut into the paint.Roaring Tianzun pretended to shoot, but actually passed the ball, and suddenly hit the ground and passed it to Mo Mengchen's hands.

Although Mutombo's ability to protect the rim is the best in the league, but the distance is too far now, no matter how unwilling he is, it is impossible to prevent Mo Mengchen from scoring a layup.

68 is better than 55
The Pistons led the Knicks by 13 points.

Hardaway is still on the court, his offense has improved, and his defense is still a sinkhole.

This cannot be changed by will alone. Even if he endured the pain and moved laterally, the pain would limit his speed and affect his reaction.

Man's will cannot be made of steel after all, unless it is the kind of weirdo who is not born to feel pain, otherwise in this case, no one can do better than Penny.

Hardaway panted heavily. The pace of the game was not fast, and Van Gundy restrained his use. It stands to reason that he shouldn't have physical problems so quickly.

This involves another question, how many times the consumption of enduring pain and persisting in the game is the usual?
No one can make it clear that Hardaway's exhaustion may come more from the pressure of the game. He is not reconciled to the end of the season, and he wants to bring more victories to the Knicks.

Mo Mengchen's defense is like a shadow, and with his current speed, it is almost impossible to get rid of the defense one-on-one.

Hardaway pays attention to Mutombo's running position. Africa Dashan's heads-up is dependent on the sky, but his off-ball threat is great. Once he is allowed to receive the ball in the penalty area, it will be a slam dunk.

Mutombo first screened for Pippen from the outside, seemingly doing nothing else, but after the screen was completed, he turned around and squeezed away Ben Wallace, speeding up his pace. Although Rasheed's return to defense was timely, he The power of the defense is not as good as Wallace, and jumping up to stop it is just a background.

The supplementary defense failed, and Mutombo scored a slam dunk with both hands.

57 is better than 68
It is still Princeton. In order not to be seen, the Pistons are now playing Princeton of the Kings.

That is Adelman's famous "inside high position support, flanking bottom line interspersed".

This set of Princeton is famous because they forced the OK Dynasty into the tiebreaker, but this is only one of Princeton's plays.

After three months of experimentation, the Pistons discovered that Princeton itself has many starting methods, mainly inside, and moving forward is only one of them.

In order to facilitate the use of the Pistons, after some transformation, the Pistons' characteristic Princeton has taken shape. Now, worried that the tactics will be exposed, they can only play the King's version of Princeton, which they did not play well before, against the Knicks.

Penny's injury became the biggest hidden danger for the Knicks. He couldn't keep up with the team's rhythm at all. Mo Mengchen ran around Rasheed's thick body to the right, and Hill slipped into the basket in an instant.

Rashid gave the ball to Mo Mengchen on the outside.Mo Mengchen attracts the defense, throws the ball into the interior with a lightning-fast through ball, and Hill slams under the basket.

70 is better than 57
"Your defense has become an unbearable burden for the Knicks." Mo Mengchen said this when passing by Penny.

Hardaway said: "It has nothing to do with you."

"How could it have nothing to do with me?" Mo Mengchen stopped and turned around, "Every point scored under this kind of defense is without honor."

Hardaway seems to have heard the biggest joke in the world: "So Dor.Mo fights for honor?"

Of course not, I fight to win.

Mo Mengchen stayed in the frontcourt not only to talk trash against Hardaway, but also to implement a plan that would anger the entire Knicks team—pressing the entire court.

They knew exactly what was going on with Hardaway. At this point in the game, the Pistons had a [-]% chance of winning, and the remaining [-]% was not the Knicks' chance of winning, but various uncertainties in the game.

Some optimistic Knicks think that if Penny can show the grit and determination of Willis Reed in the next four games-then Hardaway will definitely break his leg-the series is still close It can be seen.

"This is indeed your style." Hardaway caught his teammate's serve and caught Mo Mengchen's pressing defense head-on.

Mo Mengchen would not intentionally do something that made Hardaway feel pain, that was the way to treat an enemy, Hardaway did not have a deep hatred with him.

He just wants Hardaway to give up those unrealistic ideas as soon as possible.

With his current situation, it is wisest to actively choose to quit.

Hardaway could pass the ball, and Pippen was standing in the midfield, ready to respond at any time, but he didn't pass the ball, all on his own, almost being blocked by Mo Mengchen into an eight-second violation.

The Knicks' position has opened up the space. In normal times, this is an excellent one-on-one opportunity.

Now Hardaway struggles to attack every time, and it is too difficult to score against Mo Mengchen who is defending with all his strength.

Dikembe Mutombo showed up again, picking and rolling for him.

A body as hard as a rock blocked Mo Mengchen, and Hardaway's opponent was replaced by Big Ben.Penny yelled and quickened his pace, the severe pain under his feet constantly warned him that his body had reached its limit.

Hardaway couldn't get away from Wallace, but he did one of the most correct things before the shot -- leaning on Wallace before taking off and letting the ball hit the backboard first.

The former made Wallace miss the best chance to block the shot, and the latter made Wallace's post-attack block turn into an interference ball.

Both steps are indispensable. If the former is missing, Hardaway's ball will never have a chance to hit the backboard; if the latter is missing, Wallace can keep up with the block at the peak speed.

In this case, he can still score goals, and Penny pushed his limits.

"What is our goal?" he asked aloud.

"Tamp down Auburn Hills!"

"That's right!" Hadaway looked straight into Mo Mengchen's eyes, "We're going to flatten Mount Auburn!"

When he yelled that slogan last year, the Pistons were outraged.

Listening to this slogan now, everyone feels differently. Rashid's evaluation is almost the voice of other people: "This person is really kind."

Then came the Pistons' counterattack.

This time it wasn't Princeton, or any of the run-and-gun tactics.

The entire Knicks recognized that damn gesture.

"One-on-one again!"

Mo Mengchen accelerated his dribble, Hardaway couldn't see his attacking intention, and Mutombo couldn't figure it out either.

This is the effect of speeding up the dribble, and the speed of the dribble speeding up in vain makes people confused.

Mo Mengchen saved those boring steps, and went straight to Huanglong in one step.The direction of his breakthrough happened to be Hardaway's injured right leg, and he was completely unable to move.

This is no longer a pain that ordinary people can bear.

Hardaway stood where he was, watching Mo Mengchen break through in front of him, then jumped up from behind him, and responded to Hardaway with an unguarded mid-range shot.

72 is better than 59
All Hardaway has to do is hit another shot.

He first signaled for Mutombo to pick and roll. Africa Dashan has the best pick and roll quality in the Knicks. If he gives Penny the current pick and roll, the whole team can rest assured.

As soon as the pick-and-roll arrived, Hardaway immediately moved around with the ball. Mo Mengchen was caught again, and Wallace followed. His height gave him the ability to switch defenses against small forwards and guards. In addition, Hardaway is now plagued by injuries. Not fast, the defense followed closely.

Hardaway can only pass the ball to Mutombo now, or bite the bullet and play hard.

Mutombo didn't have the ability to shoot from the outside. If he passed the ball to him, the tactics would kill him.

Therefore, there is only one choice.

Hardaway controlled his figure, made an emergency stop and made a jump shot, making a thrilling hit.

The ball caused some cheers in Auburn Hills.

"It seems that Willis Reed really has a soul!" Johnson said excitedly.

"Look at his feet!" said Smith. "He can't even walk!"

Auburn Hills has always been considered a mean away game, because the away players are never cheered here.

Moreover, due to the short history of glory, the Pistons rarely encounter great heroic moments. Tonight, Penny's performance is one of those heroic moments that can be remembered in history.

People can never empathize with each other, but ordinary people will naturally have the idea of ​​worship after witnessing the greatness.

The fans turned their backs and cheered for Penny; the commentator praised him and compared him to the great Reid; even the Pistons players marveled at Penny's tenacity; as for Penny's teammates, they were like brainless fans, full of enthusiasm for Penny Fanatical adoration.

Perhaps Pippen is the only exception.

Mo Mengchen saw him standing idly by himself.

There are many people who are impressed by Penny, but Mo Mengchen is not one of them. He has been paying attention to Penny's foot injury. It hurt at first, but later he gritted his teeth and persisted. Now he has mobility problems and walks with a limp.

Van Gundy also noticed that he was going to make a substitution.

It was of course very unfortunate for Pence, but that was all.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball and came in front of Pence. He still tried his best to defend, not letting Mo Mengchen get any closer. Given his current physical condition, it was surprising that he could make such a defense.

Mo Mengchen took a quick step forward, and Penny let out a roar, and moved sideways to keep up with great pain.When Mo Mengchen's body stopped, Hadaway also stopped, and at this moment, Mo Mengchen noticed that his body was convulsing uncontrollably.

This is usually caused by severe pain.

Combined with where he was injured, it could be worse than he thought.

it's not finished yet.

Mo Mengchen took a step back and retreated beyond the three-point line. Such a step-back shot would not be able to make a normal shot, because Penny would quickly catch up. Now he can't do anything. When he just wanted to get closer, his body would not Fall in a controlled manner.

This is his limit.

Mo Mengchen made a three-pointer.

75 is better than 61
The Knicks requested a timeout.

Penny closed his eyes in pain, he couldn't change the result no matter what.
