You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 819 Big ambitions
"Eddie Curry gets the ball high."

"This is the No. 2001 pick in the 3 draft."

"Chicago native, graduate of Thornwood High School."

After Curry got the ball from a high position, the first thing he saw was Mo Mengchen pulling away to the left. Due to his shooting threat, this running can create a wide attacking space for him. Unfortunately, this space is not for Let him attack, but give other teammates room to run.

Princeton, a tactical system that made Curry frown.

In the one-month preseason training camp, after Curry came into contact with the Princeton system, he averaged 7 turnovers per game in the confrontation match. You must know that 10 minutes of the confrontation match is half-time, and each game is 20 minutes.

In just 20 minutes, he averaged 7 turnovers per game, which is a frighteningly high number.

Mo Mengchen stared at the intersection line, no surprises, three seconds later, the first attack opportunity will appear in the high position on the right.

Curry only needs to hand the ball to Reid running towards him, and then use his 120 kg body to provide high-quality screens, and the offense will be successful.

However, Curry did not make the decision that the coaching staff wanted to see. He pretended to be hand-in-hand, trying to trick Divac's defense, and suddenly lowered his center of gravity and dribbled to the basket.

Stupid mistake.

What an old fox Divac is?If the NBA wants to rank the most cunning players, this person will be the second, and no one dares to compete for the first.

In his eyes, Curry's little thought was as naive as a child's play house, contributing Oscar-level acting skills on the spot, which caused Curry's offensive foul.

"Beep!"

Reid asked with a confused face: "Rookie, why don't you pass the ball?"

"I" Curry didn't get a chance to explain.

"Don't ask, he's just stupid." Mo Mengchen shouted, "Go back to defense!"

Curry looked at Mo Mengchen aggrievedly, and Reid was still minding the cooperation just now, and kept babbling: "You should pass the ball."

He told me three times in a row along the way.

Curry did not dare to get angry with Mo Mengchen, nor would he lose his temper with Reid who sincerely gave him advice, but this person was really too wordy.

Curry's bad luck has only just begun.

Divac bullied Curry, who was young and inexperienced, and took the initiative to ask McGrady and others to teach the Pistons a lottery pick. If necessary, it would be best to beat this guy out of his psychological shadow all at once.

"Where are you looking?"

Divac's one-handed ball-grabbing feint turning back and looking at the moon ignited Curry's defense, turned around and stepped into the basket, and stormed the basket without any difficulty.

Rashid's return was a step slower, and Divac scored the goal.

"That's a 34-year-old man." Mo Mengchen threw the ball back to Curry, "Can you beat him?"

Curry gritted his teeth fiercely and continued to ask for the ball.

This determination to fight fire with fire deserves a word of courage.

The Pistons don't pay much attention to the outcome of the preseason, which means that Curry can ask for the ball at will, as long as he can get the ball into the basket, Mo Mengchen will not have any objections.

In another round, Curry asked everyone to disperse and prohibited running positions. He wanted to play singles.

Mo Mengchen deliberately stood opposite him. If Bibby went in to double-team Curry, he was looking forward to how the kid would react.

Is it stubborn to the end, 1 hit 2 hits or hit the iron, or bear the humiliation and attract the defense to pass the ball to the most hated person in the team?
Mo Mengchen was looking forward to it.

It's a pity that Curry didn't show the offensive threat of being double-teamed, and the King let him go one-on-one with Divac.

In order to prolong his life, Divac, an old fox, has now dropped his weight to less than 110 kilograms. To deal with Curry's full back, the current weight is not enough at all, and it all depends on small movements and experience.

Curry was annoyed by him, and raised his elbow to knock Divac down hard.

Dunks and flops occur at the same time.

This is the King's home court, and Curry is a rookie, so he got his second foul.

"This is the No. 3 show?" Divac sitting on the ground did not forget to mock the kid who had just entered the adult world from high school life, "Stupid as a pig."

Curry was furious and wanted to ask for an explanation. Rasheed, who had always been pulled over by his teammates, never dreamed that one day he would need to hold back the rookie in the team.

Not only did he have to hold the rookie, but he also had to calm down the rookie's fragile heart with a good voice.

After he comforted them for a long time, Mo Mengchen walked up to them and said, "You can't even beat a 34-year-old tortoise. This is our future. When Grant and I get old, the Pistons are going to be entrusted to such an idiot? "

"It's really sad."

Mo Mengchen's ridicule calmed Curry's anger towards Divac, but only aroused his greater anger, which was the resentment he had accumulated against Mo Mengchen these days.

Baby Shaq haunts again.

In the next round, Curry first switched defenses to the outside to defend Peja one-on-one, and then retracted to the inside to reward Divac with a big cap.

Mo Mengchen grabbed the bounced rebound, and Curry followed up and counterattacked. His straight-line speed was so fast that he didn't look like a 213 cm tall man, but he kept up with the fast break rhythm.

"good chance!"

The teammates off the court shouted, Mo Mengchen raised his hand and hit the ball on the ground.

Curry took the ball, jumped up in three steps, and smashed the basket violently with both hands. Tanhuaxiu's talent bloomed at this moment.

"Papa is the only one who can make Eddie explode," Randolph said excitedly.

"Is this a good thing?" Gerald sounded strange, why should it depend on others whether to explode or not?
The leader of the rookies, Watson, frowned and said, "If you have to control your performance, what's the fun in playing basketball?"

It's just that when Curry plays with anger, he can indeed play at a very high level.

Although the defensive end is not as good as Ben Wallace, who left the team, it is far better than Brad Miller. If it weren't for the Princeton system that values ​​the creativity of the inside, with his defense, Miller's starting position would be unstable.

Westphal saw this, and so did Miller.

Miller represents the present of the Pistons, and Curry is the future of the Pistons.

Halfway through the third quarter, Mo Mengchen was replaced.

He will not play again, even if the game is tied.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Pistons put on an all-rookie lineup.

Watson, Simmons, Gerrard, Randolph and Curry.

The Kings wanted to win this preseason game, Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki were still on the court, and seeing the Pistons put on a rookie lineup, they were blown away.

McGrady beat Gerrard's defense continuously in order to force the Pistons to play the main force.

Westphal was unmoved. After three quarters, Curry left the field with six fouls, and Magloire came off the bench. The warrior who fought hard against O'Neal in the finals provided a defense no less than Curry.

Watson sorts out the offense, trying to get the ball in everyone's hands.

Bobby Simmons also has an impact style of play. The five rookies couldn't beat Princeton.

This is a fresh play.

The main force played Princeton, and the substitutes ran and bombed, but these rookies couldn't play the Pistons' running and bombing, they just wanted to be fast and fast.

This gave Westphal an inspiration.

Why can't the main force play Princeton, and the guys who can't beat Princeton go to lead the second team to beat and run?

Looking at it now, the Pistons are suitable for playing Princeton with Mo Mengchen, Hill, Ginobili, Reid, Rasheed, Miller, half of Curry and half of Randolph.

Ginobili and Reed belong to the positional conflict.

Reid has experienced the Pistons' third running and bombing championship. He knows how to play. Ginobili is more suitable to play Princeton.
Westphal's mind suddenly became more active.

Mo Mengchen observed the conditions of the rookies.

Watson has always been stable, Simmons' impact has been initially shown, and Gerrard's defense is impressive, but he is useless on the offensive end and can only play empty cuts to eat cakes, but the defensive end can be called this group. The outside core of a person.

The one-on-one defense is qualified, the defense is extremely good, and the strong body can even match the 4th position.

Randolph is the core of the rookie five's offense. Once they fall into a positional battle, it is common to use him as the starting point of the attack. Except for defense, other aspects can be regarded as excellent for a rookie.

As for Curry who fouled out.

Mo Mengchen turned his head away. Coincidentally, Curry was also observing Mo Mengchen.

Their eyes just met.

Curry quickly turned his face away, trying to convince Mo Mengchen that he didn't mean to stare at his position.

Not to mention.

Curry's performance is not clear in one word, all I can say is that he is not worthy of the third pick at the moment.

Because the Pistons didn't have any ideas for this game, the Kings' focus on beating the Pistons was not only funny, it was ridiculous.

Everyone knows that this is a preseason game that doesn't need to be taken seriously. One side is very serious, while the other side is very loose.
Different attitudes towards the game lead to different results.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Pistons by 15 points. McGrady performed outstandingly, scoring 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, officially showing his muscles against the Pistons.

"This is only a preseason game. We take any game very seriously. When we meet again in the regular season, we will still win."

After the game, McGrady took the initiative to come over to greet him.

"Even if you can beat us in the regular season, so what? We are three-time champions, and we are chasing the fourth championship." Mo Mengchen softly slapped McGrady who wanted to provoke trouble, "Wait for you to win Let’s talk about the championship.”

McGrady can only retreat, superstars talk about seniority, in addition to experience, the championship is an important goal.

McGrady often judges himself by his youth, but he can't change the fact that he doesn't have a championship. Some people don't want to reason with you. He only recognizes champions, such as Dor.Mo who already has three championships.

At the press conference after the game, McGrady couldn't wait to announce their ambitions for this season: "The situation in the west is open, and we have a chance to break through. This requires the efforts of the whole team. We will take this as our goal and will not give up until we reach our goal." !"

As for the Pistons, Mo Mengchen refused to answer all questions about Eddie Curry.

The reporter took this as an argument, and many articles appeared overnight that Mo Mengchen didn't like Eddie Curry.

These contents are convincing and precise, but the only argument that can support them is Mo Mengchen's refusal to evaluate Eddie Curry at the press conference.
