You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 769

The Pistons swept the Knicks to advance to the conference finals, but the 76ers unexpectedly fell into a hard fight.

In the fourth game, the Raptors beat the 76ers again and tied with a big score.

Iverson scored 36 points, looks good?So is Duncan cheated?of course not.

Although Iverson scored 36 points, it was at the cost of 31 of 11 shots. Duncan scored 16 points and 24 rebounds in 13 shots. Iverson is not the kind of master who can adjust his eyes even if he is red-eyed.

This disastrous defeat caused Iverson to fall into one-sided negative public opinion, and then in the battle of Tianwangshan, after knowing his shame, he scored 54 points and defeated Carter who scored 28 points. The classic NBA saying: "The basket is like the sea in my eyes."

In the sixth game, the 76ers who held the match point did not want the series to continue.

Iverson also restrained himself, and Duncan finally became the protagonist in the series, with 35 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.

艾弗森则高效地砍下26分14助攻，对面的卡特却拘泥于个人进攻，打出不亚于31投11中的27投7中。

Carter's paranoia ruined the Raptors' playoff run, and they were out.

4 is better than 2
The 76ers eliminated the Raptors and joined the Pistons in the division finals.

As for the West, the Kings unexpectedly eliminated the Blazers 4-1 and joined the Lakers in the West.

Looking at the big score, the Kings won easily, but looking at the game, it was not easy for them to win. Only one of the five games was in double digits, and three of the other four games were within five points.

Even without watching the game, Mo Mengchen could guess that Weber must be in trouble again.

Now that the matchup map for the division finals has appeared, he is not in the mood to take care of other things.

In the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Kings beat the Lakers by 14 points in an away game, stealing the opponent's home court advantage and shocking the world.

这一役，麦迪砍下32分7篮板4助攻、诺维茨基外线手感火热，单场命中6记三分，全场狂飙35分9篮板。

The performance of these two people guaranteed the offensive stability of the Kings, and the OK Lakers once again had disagreements because of the problem of possession of the ball.

OK's home defeat was beyond everyone's expectations. The shock of the world lasted for a day. Then, the attention will shift to the East. The game between the Pistons and the 76ers will start tonight.

Wells Fargo Center
Philadelphia people gather here, since ancient times, Philadelphia has no shortage of superstars.

In the great 80s, they were the only team other than the Pistons to win the championship from the Green Kay and the Lakers.

Now entering the new century, they once again assembled a lineup comparable to the one that gathered Dr.J and Moses Malone at the same time.

Iverson + Duncan, this is the lineup that countless coaches have dreamed of. If you want to attack and have offense, you must defend and defend, and you must attack at critical moments. Both of them are fine.

From the day this super team was formed, they shouldered the historical mission of defeating the Pistons.

Tonight, the two teams that bear the weight of their destiny finally meet.

Mo Mengchen and Hill stood in the middle circle, and Duncan and Iverson walked over. They were all in their uniforms, and they greeted each other with half-smiles.

"Go buy some fishing rods after this game." Iverson provocatively said, "Fishing season is coming."

"Thank you for the reminder." Mo Mengchen gently held Iverson's hand, and then went back to warm up.

The 76ers' starting No. 1 is Iverson, which is Larry Brown's compromise.

They tried to trade for a 190 cm guard with shooting ability, but their bargaining chip was not enough to attract other teams, and the plan to rely on trade reinforcement failed.

Therefore, Iverson can only play the No. 1 position.

Only in this way, the 76ers' perimeter will not be overwhelmed by the Pistons.

A big change for the 76ers is to put Raja Bell, who was originally in the second team, on the starting lineup.

Bell was the undrafted pick last year. He attracted Larry Brown with his defense as a selling point. It was a helpless move to start him. It was not that Brown saw that this undrafted pick could become a talent in the future, but the 76ers' bench. This is a tough guy.

The old Brown likes tough guys, and Bell fits this characteristic. To beat the Pistons, the 76ers need such a guy.

The most famous event in Bell's career was not being selected to the All-Defensive Team twice, but locking Kobe's throat, doing what countless Kobes dreamed of doing.

There are still a few years before he does this, and he is still a draft pick who has no idea about the future.

So, since he was undrafted, why didn't Mo Mengchen recruit him?

the reason is simple.

forget.

Rasheed won the ball at the start for the Pistons, and Mo Mengchen accelerated when he got the ball.

The 76ers knew exactly what the Pistons wanted to do and returned to defense quickly.Even if the defense was in place, Mo Mengchen didn't intend to slow down to play positional warfare. He hit the ground and passed the ball to Hill, and Devil Mountain dribbled through.

Ratliff himself is a strong defensive shot-blocker, and he was teammates with Mo Mengchen, and he is familiar with the Pistons' tactics. When facing the Pistons, his playing experience in the Pistons has an invisible bonus to his defense.

Iverson immediately counterattacked, the elf who came and went without a trace tried to speed up, and Mo Mengchen chased after him, but the opponent's speed was not blocked.

Although his current speed is already the top in the NBA, but he is so far behind, it is basically impossible to catch up. He doesn't stop, just conveying a defensive attitude.

Iverson counterattacked and rushed to the front court, collecting the ball with one hand, and a dunk ignited the passion of the Wells Fargo Center.

"AI!"

"AI!"

The fans called Iverson's nickname in unison.

"This is the answer, never show weakness!" Maurice Cheeks, the 76ers' home commentator and the team's star, said excitedly.

Ratliff carefully watched the positioning of the Pistons, and reminded his teammates: "Be careful, it's a V-shaped attack! Pay attention to the protection of the two wings!"

Seeing the pressure of the 76ers' defense on the two wings and Duncan wandering in the paint, Mo Mengchen knew that the 76ers had targeted training for their tactics.

The existence of Ratliff made their understanding of tactics more transparent, and the old Brown is an old pedant who likes to study defense very much. It is not surprising that such a thing happened.

Mo Mengchen changed hands and dribbled the ball, lowering his center of gravity. Everyone thought he was going to call a pick-and-roll, and Iverson thought so too.

However, Rashid, who ran to the high position, did not come for the pick-and-roll, and Mo Mengchen didn't need a pick-and-roll to break through Iverson.

In an instant, Iverson's defense was penetrated by Mo Mengchen's breakthrough, and in the next second, Mo Mengchen's breakthrough approached the hinterland of the 76ers, and Duncan had to follow up all the way.

Ratliff is inside, Duncan is outside, and the two form a pocket.

Ratliff thought their ploy had worked, and was about to block Mo Mengchen, just like he blocked Hill last round.

However.
Mo Mengchen held the ball with his right hand, turned around halfway, glanced at Ratliff and Duncan, pushed the ball with his right hand, and it bounced off Duncan's crotch.

Duncan, who was running at high speed, couldn't lower his center of gravity to steal the ball, so he could only let the ball fly through his crotch and send it to Rasheed.

Roaring Tianzun stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc and shot.

"Shh!"

3 is better than 2
"Your supplementary defense is in the right position." Mo Mengchen looked at Ratliff mockingly.

Ratliff has only one question. The tactic just now was clearly a V-shaped attack. How did it become like this?
Off the court, Larry Brown didn't see clearly what was going on. This round played as if the Pistons didn't want to play a V-shaped offense from the beginning.

If that's the case, why are Houston and Hill standing still in the corner?bluff?

It's the 76ers' turn to attack, and their offense is not as detailed as the Pistons.

Iverson looked for opportunities first, and passed the ball out if he had no chance.

Bell can only dribble the ball once, basically has no ability to attack independently, and the ball continues to move.

Aaron McGee took the ball from the outside and tried to break through for a layup, but was blocked by Wallace, and Duncan picked up the offensive rebound.The attack time is running out, and Shi Buddha can only shoot under the passive defense.

The touch favored him, and Duncan made a mid-range shot at the buzzer.

4 is better than 3
Same stance, same starting style.

"V-word attack again?"

Duncan paid special attention to Rasheed's position this time.When Rasheed ran to the free throw line, he gave up following Mo Mengchen, but stuck to Rasheed without leaving an open space.

The defense on the left and right wings is extremely tight, and neither Hill nor Houston is open.

The purpose of the V-shaped attack is to break through the opponent's defense line strategically through the center of the creator with the ball. The opponent must divide his troops to double-team. In this way, the left and right corners will be vacant. Just pass the ball, that is a Good shot.

"It really makes me worry about your IQ."

Mo Mengchen's legs, which seemed to be running faster and faster, suddenly stopped, jumped up, and made a shot from the free throw line.

"Shh!"

Iverson's size made it impossible for him to stop Mo Mengchen's shot.

5 is better than 4
"Damn it, this is a V-word attack!" Brown said angrily.

However, the traditional offensive method of V-shaped attack is the left and right bottom corners of the top of the arc, so it is in a V-shaped position.The player at the top of the arc breaks into the penalty area, lays up or passes the ball. This is the most mainstream style of play.

Mo Mengchen did the opposite here. Since the Pistons didn't let players on the left and right wings go, and Ratliff, the shot-blocking leader, took advantage of his size advantage to bully Iverson, and immediately stopped to shoot when he reached the free throw line.

This is like turning the word V upside down and adding a horizontal line.

Strictly speaking, this is not a V-shaped attack, it just borrows the body of the V-shaped attack. If you really want to care about its shape, this should be an A-shaped attack.

"Can someone else defend me?" Mo Mengchen pointed at Iverson who was full of disbelief, and mumbled to Brown, "I have a natural aversion to this kind of dwarf who doesn't know himself."

Brown did not respond, and Iverson, irritated, lost his mind and stormed.

What the ferocious breakthrough brought back was not a score, but Ben Wallace's big cap, Mo Mengchen's long pass and Hill's one-stop dunk that he readily accepted.
