You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 861
Eddy Curry missed the Pistons' Eastern Conference due to "illness".

The Pistons were vague about Curry's condition, so that the outside world didn't know what happened to Curry. If it wasn't for the pressure from the league, they wouldn't even explain the reason clearly.

In the end, the team prevaricated with "gastroenteritis".

The Detroit media was overjoyed: "So, next time we see Eddie, he might be lighter?"

Anyone who has suffered from gastroenteritis knows that this disease is very painful. When it occurs, it basically occupies the bathroom. The loss of appetite and constant diarrhea will lead to rapid weight loss. After a serious illness, it can lose more than ten catties. Therefore, The Pistons media think so.

Although Curry has not yet become a star player, the fans love the house and hate it, and it is impossible to hate the baby selected by the team with the third overall pick.

That, plus Curry's starting job in place of Miller, changed the Pistons' game.

库里转正为首发那一日起，活塞走上了正轨，赛季至今，他场均得到11分7篮板2助攻2.4封盖和辣眼睛的4失误及5犯规。

Six free throws are his repertoire in almost every game.

But he is learning fast, and he is becoming less and less like a high school student.

Curry's waiver card also makes people have no expectations for the Pistons' away game. They can win at most 1 win, which is the opinion of the outside world.

The first away game is Chicago, the opponent Bulls, and they don't need to mobilize when they meet their deadly rivals.That night, the Pistons rehearsed tactics half-seriously and defeated the Bulls.

Miller returned to the starting lineup and played a masterpiece of the season, with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, showing that he is an excellent Princeton center from the inside out.

Then, the Pistons took a special plane overnight and went to the second away game to challenge the strongest opponent before the All-Star Weekend-the Philadelphia 76ers.

This season, the 76ers have changed the team-building policy with Iverson as the absolute core for many years. Duncan has become the leading brother. Although Iverson is dissatisfied with this decision, he is not against people and maintains a harmonious relationship with Duncan. Not happy with Larry Brown who made this decision.

The conflict between Brown and Iverson is getting bigger and bigger, and the Philadelphia media suspects that some of them will leave the team next season.

At this time, the piston came.

With the enemy at hand, all contradictions must be put on hold.

Wells Fargo Center
Mo Mengchen focused on warming up and shooting, without being influenced by the fans.

Even if the fans at the scene used various methods to interfere with his warm-up, such as screaming, shouting, swearing, and risking being blown out of the arena by the security guards, showing beautiful photos of pornstars.

All these things did not have any impact on Mo Mengchen.

"This is a killer with no emotion."

"Father, the people here don't have very good taste." Randolph commented on the taste of the fans at the scene, "It's really sad for them to seduce you with Lisa Ann, a woman covered in silicone all over her body."

Mo Mengchen threw the ball to Randolph: "Stop showing off your knowledge."

"Yes!" After that, Randolph couldn't help but glanced at the ** on the scene.

The fan was finally pulled out of the crowd by the security guards because of his immorality, and he exited the stadium gorgeously amid the shouts of "Real Man" from the mostly male fans.

After all, the NBA, which is facing the world, is no longer the chaotic era where you can pull up the colorful posters to distract the free throws of the visiting team players, and can rush into the court five seconds before the end of the finals to announce the leading team to win the championship in advance up.

It is worth mentioning that the above two things were especially common in the 80s, known as the golden age of the NBA.

After the warm-up, the two teams started each other.

The change for the Pistons is that Miller returned to the starting center position, while the change for the 76ers was even greater.

Their starters are Iverson, Snow, Mark Halperin, Derek Coleman and Duncan.

There are three champions in the 90s in a starting lineup.

In this lineup, Duncan is the main center, and Coleman averaged 15 points per game as the third attacker.

But the 76ers are currently unable to threaten the Pistons' No. 5 position in the Eastern Conference. The difference between the two teams is [-] wins.

The Pistons don't think about whether they will be caught up by the 76ers. What they have to be wary of is the western powerhouses, especially the Spurs.

"The game is about to begin."

Rasheed jumps with Duncan.

Duncan's prediction was more in place, and he hit the ball in Rashid's hands.

Iverson advanced quickly with the ball, and Mo Mengchen retreated quickly. It was basically impossible to start with a surprise attack.

If the raid failed, Iverson could only slow down the pace.

He noticed that Mo Mengchen's position was slightly inward. That's right, the Pistons put up a zone defense again.

Zone defense does not work for all teams. If the opponent is a team that can shoot well, the zone defense is likely to kill yourself, but if the opponent is the 76ers who are not good at shooting three-pointers, or it can be said that they hate three-pointers. The team that divides the ball, then there is no problem.

Few of the old coaches who coached in the 70s would like zone defense. They think it will hurt the sense of responsibility of the players, because the core of zone defense is to defend the opponent through the strength of five people. Individual defense is not the key, the key is collective.

The use of the collective will make players rely on the collective, so that they will not care about individual defense.

The idea is not wrong, but it depends on the situation. For example, a team like the Pistons has Mo Mengchen, and they dare not relax at all.

The emergence of zone defense is a kind of harm to traditional big men, and it is even more torture to Iverson, an elf guard who breaks through like the wind.

In the low position on the left, Duncan stuck Miller, opened his ape arms, and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Almost as soon as the basketball passed to Shifo's hands, Rashid immediately gave up on Coleman, who was acting like a turtle, and outflanked Duncan's position.

Miller's one-on-one defense is terrible, but with Rasheed, Duncan can't help it. He can't stay in place and pass the ball, so he can't see Coleman's position.Duncan has to dribble, go from the low post on the left side to beyond the three-point line, and pass the ball widely to the perimeter.

On the outside, Coleman received a wide-ranging cross from Duncan. He was praised by Malone as "the best player in history with my hard work". He took a step back and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line.

Coleman was known as the No. 1 Barkley when he first debuted, because he has the same offensive methods as a small forward like Barkley.

While his later development made him the unique Coleman -- and that's not a compliment -- his [-]-point shot, like Barkley's original template, was accessible but inconsistent.

This open three-pointer fully demonstrates this characteristic.

The Pistons' zone defense started to work. Coleman's three-pointer rolled out of the basket. Mo Mengchen grabbed the defensive rebound and slammed Iverson away who wanted to get close. Relying on his height and strength, he rushed to the frontcourt. After attracting Harprin and Snow's defense to his side, he distributed the ball outside.

Devil Mountain followed and responded with a three-pointer.

The difference is, he made it.

3 is better than 0
"In contrast, the discipline of the Pistons is much stronger than that of the 76ers. They played too chaotically." Tonight's commentator Joel Meyers shook his head.

His partner is the former NBA head coach PJ Carlesimo. Since he was choked by a madman, his coaching career has also entered the twilight period. The madman was severely punished, and he also got a bad reputation. Sit on the commentary seat and point out the country.

"The discipline and tactics of the Pistons are at the textbook level. Every coach cherishes their games. They have excellent talents but are willing to do one small thing after another." Carlesimo said, "In my opinion Come on, that's why they're successful."

As soon as Carlesimo's words fell, Duncan suppressed Miller's position again, received a pass from Iverson, turned around, and roared that Tianzun's double-team was too late to complete, and the ball had already been shot.

Miller gave a high-intensity confrontation, but this is the home court of the 76ers. How could the referee watch him make unnecessary moves but remain indifferent-do you think you are Dor.Mo?

"Beep!"

The whistle blows, the goal goes in, 2+1.

Duncan turned around without changing his face, signaled to Iverson for a good pass, and then made an extra penalty.

3 is better than 3
"Seeing Brad Miller's defense, Detroit people must miss Eddie Curry with gastroenteritis."

"There's no doubt that Brad's defense sucks!"

Miller hates others to judge his defense. He knows it is a shortcoming, and he has been improving it, but the talent God gave him is limited, and he can't become a good defender even if he tries his best to defend.

Under the Pistons system, he can respond to Duncan's offense.

The response ball was played quickly.

In the high position of the frontcourt, Mo Mengchen handed over the ball to Miller. At the same time, Hill and Ginobili shifted positions, and Mo Mengchen cut in from the middle.

Miller's pass was unpretentious, simply a high lob to Mo Mengchen at the basket.Coleman's defense was majestic but not intimidating. Mo Mengchen didn't even bother to make fake moves, and with a flick of his finger, he scored a layup.

5 is better than 3
Coleman's defense is speechless. Brown can't believe that they traded Ratliff for this guy. Although his offense is far stronger than the latter, but in the playoffs, he has to fight hard , he may not be easier to use than Ratliff.

Iverson started at full speed, intending to tear up the Pistons' defense.

The Pistons let Iverson experience the power of zone defense before he joined the Dream Team to accept the baptism of FIBA ​​zone defense.

Iverson rushed into the pocket, he could see the passer, but he wasn't sure if there was a trap there.

The pressure of the Pistons is getting closer, and he has no choice but to pass the ball, otherwise he will be pinched to death.

"Great hospitality is hard to turn down!"

As expected, Iverson's pass was intercepted by Mo Mengchen.

His offense was all within the expectations of the Pistons. The pass was interrupted and the counterattack was imminent.

In a blink of an eye, the ball has fallen into his own basket.

7 is better than 3
