You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 818 Potential Enemy
The Pistons will play five preseason games, four of which will be in Europe, and the only preseason game the Pistons will play against the Kings in the United States is on the road.

In order to increase its own influence, the NBA tries its best to let the NBA play against strong teams from all over the world, but NBA teams can always gain an overwhelming advantage.

The Pistons won all four European training games, averaging 31 points per game, and after each game, most of the players on the opposite side would take off their jerseys and ask Mo Mengchen to sign them.

For his own image, for the image of the team, and for the image of the league, Mo Mengchen had to pick up a pen to sign his name on the sweaty jersey.

Not only autographs, but also a group photo with these people.

In the group photo, he is smiling, but in fact his real thoughts are swear words that cannot be put on the stage.

At the end of the trip to Europe, the Pistons returned to the United States non-stop, and then flew to Sacramento to challenge last season's runner-up in the Western Conference, the Sacramento Kings.

The next two years will be the peak period of the Kings.

McGrady was basically one of the top three perimeter players in the league until the 0304-[-] season when he suffered an injury. In this world, the trend of super centers withering has not changed, but outside talents have emerged in large numbers. The four major shooting guards are at their peak. Penny and Hill should have suffered injuries. Jordan's successors have all become beneficiaries of the butterfly effect of the traverser.

Even in such a situation where the demons are dancing wildly, the peak McGrady is also the top five outside line in the league.

Dirk Nowitzki will also officially enter the ranks of star power forwards this year.

Peja's second 20-point season.
The only question is, can Adelman keep this group under control?The Princeton system of the Kings has already existed in name only. The arrogant young superstar does not want to play complicated tactics, because 90% of opponents can be settled by single play alone, so why bother to play tactics?

The Pistons' fifth preseason game, and the Kings' fifth.

The Kings had a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in the first four games. The results of the preseason games are generally not taken seriously, but the king let the main players play for a long time, and still cannot guarantee victory. The main players are fighting each other. People are willing to implement Princeton tactics and want to show their own personality. Peja and Divac have a tendency to form cliques. McGrady and Nowitzki are Yankees and Germans. Even if they are not hostile, it is difficult to be consistent. .

Internal problems are so serious that Adelman is still thinking about letting these people accept Princeton.

Sleep Train Arena
Calls for attention determine who is the most popular player here.

"Number 1!"

This was the last starter whose name was read. When the DJ called out "No. 1", the fans were already boiling. The answer was obvious.

"6 feet 8 inches!"

"Defender!"

"From Montesaone Christian High School!"

"Tracey~~~!!"

Afterwards, chants from the audience drowned out the DJ's chants, as they chanted the Sacramento superstar: "T-Mac!"

"T-Mac!"

"T-Mac!!!"

Randolph murmured, "This is what a fucking superstar looks like."

"Superstar? We also have one." Watson laughed, "And there are two."

The rookies watched as Mo Mengchen and Hill stepped forward to shake hands with McGrady and Nowitzki.

Mo Mengchen held a hand that was 6 years younger than him. When he was 23 years old, he was just a kid in his early 70s, and he was already a superstar with unlimited future.

"Although it is a preseason game, we really want to win tonight." McGrady said the ugly words first.

Mo Mengchen retorted: "Win? Are you awake?"

Talking trash to each other like going through the motions, the main forces of both sides retreated.

"Control the intensity well, don't take it too seriously." Westphal sounded like he was telling everyone, but in fact he was warning Mo Mengchen, "I don't want to lose staff because of a preseason match."

"You can rest assured."

The more he is like this, the less reassuring he is.

Since Mo Mengchen can make the training like a war, how can he treat this Kings team who may meet in the finals, and his behavior will be gentle?

The Pistons' new starting lineup made its first appearance on American soil.

"Can Manu Ginobili and Brad Miller fill the void of Alan Houston and Ben Wallace?"

"We'll see."

The jump ball between Miller and Divac, the decisive battle between Dabairuan and the old turtle.

The old tortoise won the battle, and he is more experienced. When the difference in height and bullet speed between the two sides is not too big, experience is the key to winning the jump ball.

The ball flew into the hands of Mike Bibby.

Bibby didn't want to have any collision with Mo Mengchen, he dribbled the ball across the half court steadily, looked for McGrady, passed the ball, and then stood aside with his hips on his hips.

That's what Adelman needs him to do, and he thinks he's doing well.

He could even be a little more arrogant.There's no better starting point guard in the league than him when it comes to not doing shit after the dribble.

McGrady opened his dead eyes that seemed to have never been opened, and the first ball in the opening game allowed the Pistons to see his growth.

He started to change directions full of explosive power, broke through from in front of Hill, and then, with a kick, he made a beautiful pull-up layup and scored.

"Brad can do a lot of things, he just can't play defense well."

However, the Pistons' offense is not as unrestrained as in the past. The Kings are too familiar with the tactics of starting with a center.

They don't believe that the Pistons have really become a Princeton team, as defensive as usual, but the opponent's Princeton is not the Princeton they are familiar with.

Miller's defense is not good, and Divac's defense is also not good.

Because Miller is young, the defensive effect may be better than Divac, and when the Pistons' perimeter starts to penetrate the King's defense, Divac is helpless.

He can't support the role of the defensive core.

If he is positioned as the core of the defense, any NBA team may have the king's 150 points

The Pistons, which won three championships with running and bombing, are even easier, and now, they can easily score without running and bombing.

After Manu Ginobili cut inside, Hill scored suddenly, hit the ground, passed the ball in place, and the Argentine hit the basket and scored.

2 is better than 2
McGrady is not only the most popular team of the Kings, but also the core of the whole team. If he wants to go it alone, the ball will continue to pass to him.

Bibby is also willing to pass the ball for him. Anyway, he is just throwing his hands away, why not help his compatriots?

Thanks to Bibby's full support, McGrady got a lot of chances. In the first half of the first quarter, the game basically consisted of him single-handedly against the Pistons.

McGrady relied on singles, the Pistons practiced tactics, and the Kings did not increase their intensity. The two sides enjoyed themselves and played like an All-Star.

Suddenly, Mo Mengchen punched Bibby hard with his back, knocked the unprepared White Devil over with his buttocks, turned around and scored a jumper.

18 is better than 14
"I can't even prevent my back, I feel sorry for you from the bottom of my heart." Mo Mengchen shook his head regretfully.

If he hadn't been sneering, Bibby might not have believed this nonsense.

Since Mo Mengchen played against Bibby, the intensity of the game has escalated, but the king is still relying on the stars to fight alone, and there is no linkage with each other. They are all playing four.

The Pistons made many mistakes after the opponent increased their defensive strength.

Playing star ball has the advantages of star ball. As long as it feels good, the output is guaranteed; the main tactics are not so, especially unfamiliar tactics, the Pistons began to make a lot of mistakes.

After halftime, the Kings overtook the Pistons and had a 9-point advantage.

"It seems that the Pistons still haven't found a tacit understanding with each other. If they start the new season in this state, their life will be very difficult."

The commentator at the scene talked eloquently, and McGrady promised to win the game when he was interviewed at halftime.

For the Pistons, the starting lineup in the second half changed.

They became Momochen, Reed, Hill, Rasheed and Curry.

Ginobili and Miller were taken out of the starting lineup.The Pistons are still testing how the players feel about Princeton in actual combat, and the King's attitude towards the game is extremely serious.If you don't train at this time, when will you wait?

"In the future, the old fox opposite is already 34 years old, can you deal with him?"

Mo Mengchen received Curry's serve and asked suddenly.

Curry said stiffly: "Yes!"

"Very good." Mo Mengchen said without knowing what to say, and dribbled forward.
