You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 795 Waiting for me to die, I have plenty of time to rest
"If this is the way to play, I am optimistic that Shaq will go to the end."

The person who said this was a magician.

"Do you think he has the physical ability to play the whole game?" Kareem shook his head and frowned.

That's normal, you can't expect this proud old man to recognize a magician who outshone him in the first place.

These two are well-known figures in the history of the Lakers, and there is only one person who can refute them.

The LOGO man's eyes have been on Kobe: "No matter how well Shaq plays, he needs to echo Kobe."

The reason why the Pistons start with Lauderdale and Magloire is simple, they want these two to consume O'Neal.

If you want them to be angry, of course, you can't just look at the performance of the defensive end, and you must boldly hand the ball to them when you have a chance on the offensive end.

However, Lauderdale was completely unprepared.

Under such intensity, the combat power he displayed was minimal.Mo Mengchen passed the ball to him, but he didn't even hit the top, and turned to face the basket to fight the shark.

Sharon couldn't help laughing at such an offense. He gave Lauderdale a big cap, and then Kobe grabbed the defensive rebound and went to the frontcourt for a one-stop slam dunk. Sharon Stone stood up and applauded him.

"When OK is willing to be each other's wings, the Lakers are almost invincible!" Old Brown said, "The Pistons' strategy is in the wrong place!"

9 is better than 5
The Lakers have already led by 4 points, but Mo Mengchen still implements Westphal's tactics, let Lauderdale block, and then pass the ball.

Under heavy pressure, it is clear at a glance who is a warrior and who is a coward.

Lauderdale was overwhelmed by the pressure. This wasn't like he used to be, starting and acting as a thug when the team led by a big score. This time it was a life-and-death battle, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.

At this time, he thought of O'Neill's offense, opening the way with an elbow.

It's a pity that he only thought about how O'Neal attacked, but he didn't expect the opponent's tricks, which were also elbows to clear the way. What Lauderdale brought to the team was not a score, but an offensive foul.

The right to the ball went directly to the Lakers.

Realizing the failure of the tactics, Westphal immediately made a substitution, replacing Lauderdale with Jerome Williams, and Magloire swung to the center position.

Magloire changed his style when he came to the center position, becoming a fierce thug, which he learned from Williams.

Bryant, like a feeder, threw the ball to O'Neal.

Williams' pincer hit was instant, and the two rough guys exerted their strength at the same time, and O'Neal was also uncomfortable, and he returned the ball to Kobe.

Bryant attracted the rest of the defense and passed the ball again.

Al Harrington made an open three-pointer.

"Hit!"

"The point difference came to 7 points!"

12 is better than 5
Mo Mengchen let out a breath, he knew it would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

The people playing at home are really indomitable.

Now he finally knows why Westphal cares so much about the home advantage. The atmosphere alone is worth 10 points.

Mo Mengchen took the ball and came to the front court. The man defending him was Kobe, the best perimeter defender of the Lakers.

"You said my defense sucks, come again!" Kobe yelled.

Mo Mengchen accelerated and changed direction. With the ball in his hand, there were several stops in the blink of an eye. Kobe didn't know which way to defend.

At this moment, the pick-and-roll was in place, Mo Mengchen used Williams' pick-and-roll to hang Kobe, carried Harrington's help defense, forced a layup and caused a foul.

The thrown ball unexpectedly hit the top of the backboard and slid into the basket.

"Unbelievable!"

Mo Mengchen looked back at Kobe: "I have generously satisfied you, do you have any comments?"

Then, Mo Mengchen went to the free throw line and hit an additional penalty.

8 is better than 12
Mo Mengchen angered Kobe, but it was Hill who suffered the wrath.

The situation was staggered. Hill chose to play hot on the defensive end. Kobe was very aggressive and launched an attack from the low post. Unfortunately, the target of the post-up was not suitable.

Hill's height and build are pure small forwards, completely stronger than Kobe.

With Kobe's 23-year-old body, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to get a bargain. Peter Pan, who was burning in the head, forced himself to turn over and exchanged for an air ball.

"Good defense!"

Magloire shouted angrily. He was not as tall as O'Neill, but his wingspan was not inferior. He jumped up with all his strength, and even if he couldn't grab the rebound, he didn't let him fall into the hands of the shark. He shot the rebound at Mo Mengchen's position. ball.

That's enough!

Mo Mengchen hoped that Alan Houston had enough understanding with him, otherwise his next pass would be exchanged for an unnecessary foul.

In the air, Mo Mengchen grabbed the backboard with one hand with his right hand, and before his body fell, he threw it straight ahead in the air, which was the running direction of Alan Houston.

"Incredible pass!" Wharton used various words to describe Mo Mengchen's performance for the second time tonight.

Houston followed up the pass and countered for a layup.

10 is better than 12
The stars in the front row covered their mouths and praised this counterattack.

The magician clicked his tongue and said, "Amazing!"

Halfway through the first quarter, the Lakers led by 7 points, but they were overtaken by the Pistons after making a few mistakes. This is the intensity of this final battle.

Two teams of similar strength are still a pair of old enemies with a feud.

"According to the information I got, the ratings of tonight's match have reached 17, and the peak may exceed 18."

This is a news that made the league officials who came to the scene excited.

Hill's defense against Bryant was exemplary, noticing O'Neal's aggressive positioning and knowing that Bryant was going to pass.

He has been preparing.

He first observed, and then confirmed Kobe's passing action, jumped up with both feet, and snatched the ball that should have been passed to O'Neal in the air.

Hill's defense aroused the admiration of the audience, so much so that they ignored the long pass to Mo Mengchen after the steal.

Mo Mengchen received a long pass from Hill and counterattacked to score.

12 is better than 12
This stopped the Lakers.

The suffocating intensity of the game made both sides have to be more vigilant. After this timeout, the Pistons once again made a mess of inside personnel.

In the original starting lineup, two Wallaces were replaced.

On the Lakers side, the Zen master dared not play OK because they needed OK's ability to attack tough problems.

Past experience made him realize that if OK is suddenly replaced, the Lakers' second team will be vulnerable to the Pistons.

This is one of the advantages of the Pistons. Their lineup depth is the first in the league.

But the reason why the game of basketball is not as far-reaching as football is because it is a sport where just one or two absolute strengths can change the direction of the game.

Unlike the Lakers, Westphal was less cautious than Zen Master.

Even if it was a battle of life and death, he would replace Mo Mengchen to rest.

Leucier plays the leading role on the court and changes the rhythm of the game at the same time.

"Mo, get some rest," said Westphal. "You've got a few minutes to catch your breath tonight."

It sounds scary, but sitting on the sidelines and watching the situation change is the scariest thing.

Even though he was close at hand, he couldn't have any impact on the game.

Hill's suppression of Kobe was unexpected but reasonable.

As the number one small forward in the league, his edge was suppressed too much by Mo Mengchen.

Regardless of the statistics, no one knows that he is the scoring leader of the Pistons this season, averaging 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game. It is not that there are monsters like Duncan Garnett and Webber in the forward position. There is no suspense that he was selected for the first team of the year.

But because he accidentally encountered power forward Shengshi, he lost a team for two consecutive years (last year he missed many games due to injury), and this year's statistics are not impressive enough, so he can only be selected for the second team.

The few minutes of suppression of Bryant became the key to the Pistons stabilizing the situation.

The Lakers suddenly had only one leg left, and they began to rely on O'Neal.

O'Neill had to face the two Wallaces' attack from inside and outside, which was not comfortable.Harrington can get open, and the Pistons will set up traps based on O'Neal's pass.

In the next few rounds, O'Neal fed Harrington two balls, one ball was broken, and one ball was destroyed and out of bounds, neither of which was considered a success.

Hill extinguished Kobe's fire on the defensive end, and scored two goals in a row relying on his size advantage.

18 is better than 15
"The Pistons lead by 3 points!"

Looks like I have to offer my sincerest apologies to Grant.

Mo Mengchen had always thought that he would be in a downturn tonight, but in the end, his performance was really surprising.

Even if the offensive end has no touch, the restriction on Kobe on the defensive end can be called the mainstay of the team.

Kobe was in a slump, O'Neal simply took the game on his body and launched a fierce attack. Rasheed's double-team made it difficult for him to make any achievements in offense.

"Pass the ball, Shaq!"

Harrington yelled.

However, the Sharks played a real fire, violently knocked down Wallace, and hung Rasheed's defensive hands clasped angrily.

"Beep!"

"And one!"

The furious shark stepped on the overlord's step, as if the whole world should respect him.

Then, he also made an extra penalty that he was not good at.

18 is better than 18
He doesn't want to lose again.

"Kobe, calm down first, give me the ball, and I'll help you win the game! I need your help in the second, third, and fourth quarters!" Shark shouted at Kobe.

With the enemy at hand, O'Neal needs a calm and efficient Kobe.

"give it to you."

This is the last thing the Pistons want to see. Kobe has become O'Neal's little brother. Even if it is temporarily, he suppressed his ambition and wholeheartedly assisted the Sharks.

The history of the previous life has already proved that as long as there is no barrier between these two people, they are the best duo in history.

Mo Mengchen only rested for 3 minutes, and he threw the towel on the bench, "Coach, I have rested."

"Mo, the form on the field is fairly stable, you can rest for a few more minutes."

Mo Mengchen rejected Westphal's kindness, and said a well-known joke in the Pistons: "When I die, there will be plenty of time to rest."

However, in such a situation, no one can laugh.
