You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 790 I've Been Waiting For Your Words

Garbage time is a very interesting time period. The general audience will choose to exit or change channels when they see this, because the result is no longer suspenseful.

However, for professionals, garbage time has a certain reference value, especially the garbage time in the playoffs.

The performance of the substitute players who cleaned up the mess largely determines the trend of the next game.

If they're downcast, frustrated, and don't know how to go on, then it's a sign that the team is on the brink of death.

On the contrary, if they still play very vigorously and look dissatisfied, it means that the outcome of the series has not yet been decided.

A simple conversation can sum it up.

"You're not dead yet?"

"It doesn't seem to be dead."

Mo Mengchen sat calmly on the sidelines. He scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists tonight, ranking among the top of the team in all statistics. If the Pistons can win three consecutive championships, he is very likely to win the Finals MVP.

It's just that the Lakers, who didn't give up the game at all, made him worry about the sixth game two days later.

The use of Princeton in the fourth quarter is to beat the Lakers back to their original form when they wake up, and get the match point with a merciless victory, but the result is not the case now.

The Pistons did win the game, but the garbage time was still sparking.

Lauderdale wanted to brush up data in garbage time, but the Lakers defended toughly, which ruined his plan.

Even if there was no suspense for a few minutes, the two sides still fought like a suspenseful battle.

Time passed quickly, and no matter how fierce the competition was, it would eventually come to an end.

116 is better than 103
The Pistons beat the Lakers by 13 points and won the focus game with 16 ratings.

"So far, the Pistons hold two match points. It's a pity that they have to go away to win the cup. It's not a good place." Johnson said depressingly.

"No, there is no championship sweeter than winning away from home." A villain like Lambiel thinks differently from others.

Johnson played with Lambiel that year, and the Pistons' two championships were won away.

What does it feel like to win an away game?The fans at the scene will not send blessings generously, they will only boo, then denounce the injustice of the referee, and then hurl abuse near the bus outside the arena.

The angrier they were, the worse they lost. Of course, Johnson knew this. He just wanted to win the cup amidst the cheers, but a weird guy like Lambiel was different.

The championship is only valuable if it is hated by the opponent, so he likes the feeling of winning away.

Players from both sides stood up one by one.

The Zen master looked at Mo Mengchen who was about to accept the on-site interview. He clenched his fists tightly, and the pressure between his knuckles made a grinding sound. He gritted his teeth and turned to walk towards the aisle.

It's not over yet.

The next two games will be played at the Lakers' home court. All he has to do is to dispel OK's demons and let them fight for each other.

This is the last chance.

On the other hand, when Mo Mengchen talked about the game to reporters, what he said was the same as what the fans read in the newspapers, without any explosive points: "I am proud of my teammates, we won a difficult game. the match of."

When talking about whether he will be determined to defend the championship in the away game and create a great dynasty, Mo Mengchen said flatly: "This is our goal."

Then there's the press conference.

The explosive point of the Lakers is far greater than that of the Pistons.

The Detroit reporters on the scene are not easy to eat. Anyone can see that OK does not like each other. The reporter from the "Detroit Weekly" boldly asked: "Shaq, do you want to get more ball rights?"

O'Neal's answer was as domineering as ever: "You have to understand that it's right to give the ball to me. I shoot 60% of the time. I can attract opponents to double-team. Then I pass to the perimeter, and they will get open and easy shots. What offense is easier than this?"

At this time, Kobe and Zen Master were by his side.

When the reporter asked such a question and he answered it like this, it was clear at a glance who he was targeting.

Then, the Sharks also said: "A team like ours should try to integrate everyone into the offense. Individual bravery alone cannot win the championship. At least I will do so."

Found that there is something to sing here, the local media can't wait to continue to assist the team, so they asked Kobe: "Do you find that you have taken too much responsibility?"

Kobe had had enough of the media and O'Neal's questioning, he replied stiffly: "Many people want me to play the same as last season, but that would not be me. You see, I have two ways: one is as you said , play simple basketball, get 20 points and 7 assists per game, I will not have any pressure. Or, I can show aggressiveness and go to my limit. People say that the sky is my limit, but I think the sky is the limit. It's not the limit."

Then, Kobe pulled down the two good players who had already been out: "Why do AI and VC get praise when they have a lot of money, but I am willing to stand up for the team but only criticize? I don't understand. I play on the court. The performance that came out was not inferior to anyone, and I will not apologize or back down because of it."

The media in Detroit was obviously picking things up. After this interview, neither O'Neill nor Kobe was very happy.

Zen Master was with them, but he didn't interrupt the media.

He has never used his personal rights to forcibly mediate OK's conflict, but let them gradually digest the conflict during the game. He does not want the conflict between the two to escalate. Together, they will fail again.

However, there is an invisible hand pushing the whole thing to run.

Zen Master obviously didn't intervene, but the conflict between Kobe and O'Neill became more and more serious. Until now, even if he wanted to intervene, he couldn't intervene at all.

Now that they have been cornered, Zen master had to stand up. He first said to the media: "I will let Shaq be his true self, and I will let Kobe be his true self. They are the leaders of the team. When we deviate When we’re on track, they’re going to be the ones who get us back on track, and as long as we’re on the road, we can keep going, toward whatever we want to achieve.”

The press conference is over, and Zen and OK walk to the aisle prepared for the visiting team.

Kobe walked faster than others. He wanted to find a place to practice more. This young man had endless energy.

Outside the locker room, Kobe walked in first, and the Zen master stopped O'Neal.

"Phil?" The shark didn't know what Zen master wanted him for.

"Shaq, I need you to show up to Kobe," Jackson said.

"Show me?" O'Neill couldn't believe what he heard, "I showed him? Why? Why didn't he show me?"

The Zen master said in a deep voice: "Because you are bigger than him, you should be the more mature one."

"I reject."

"Even if this continues, you will part ways?"

"Yeah, no matter what I do we're going our separate ways."

"Even if," Zen master said, "we'll lose to the Pistons again?"

O'Neill's answer was no longer decisive, because reason told him that the Zen master was right. If he and Kobe could not let go of their grudges temporarily, they would not be able to beat the Pistons.

The Zen master didn't finish, "Even if you can never prove yourself?"

"Even if you never win a championship in your career?"

"Even if the world calls you a loser?"

Zen Master approached the shark and finally asked, "Even if Dor.Mo steps on his feet again?"

These questions piled up like a mountain, but the last question pierced the shark's heart. He remembered the ugly face that had caused him nightmares and made him angry countless times.

"No!" he roared.

"Do you want to be stepped on by that person for the rest of your life?"

"No!" Louder than before, he responded loudly to the Zen master.

"Since you don't want to, then you have to show favor to Kobe!" Zen Master said, "You must join forces, otherwise we have no chance of winning!"

O'Neal clenched his fists, as if filled with rage, hoping to defeat the Pistons by himself, but it was impossible.

This was the last fact he wanted to face.

To beat the Pistons, he needs Kobe's help.

He didn't agree to Zen master, nor refused, he just turned around and opened the door of the locker room, and walked in.

The Zen master was at the door, and because the shark hadn't closed the door, he could hear the movement inside.

How it turns out will be known soon.

This is their last chance, and if OK's rift can be repaired tonight, even if it's only temporary, and it could open at any time, it's worth it.

These two must know that in order to defeat a powerful enemy, one person's strength is far from enough.

Rick Fox saw O'Neal take off his jersey. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

O'Neal and Kobe were so close, but they didn't exchange a word.

This reminded him of Bird and McHale of the Celtics. His career started with the Celtics. It happened to be Bird's last season, and McHale was also on the team.

In his opinion, OK is like a double of these two people.

Whereas Bird took everything seriously, McHale took the game playfully.The latter always made jokes in training and threw some unbelievable balls in the game, which made Bird unbearable.Everyone on the team has to choose between Bird and McHale.

It's just that no matter how big their conflict is, it doesn't seem to be as big as OK now.

The two are already on fire.

Just then, O'Neill suddenly called Kobe.

Not only Kobe, but the whole team's attention was brought over.

"I don't want to support the game alone, will you help me?" Shaq O'Neal, the proudest guy in active service and the most over-the-top jerk in the league, said this to Kobe Bryant.

No one knew what Kobe was thinking. He seemed to be calming down to digest the powerful words.

Finally, Kobe nodded calmly and replied: "I've been waiting for this sentence from you."
