You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 881

Artest's ball-holding singles ability is underestimated, just like Carter's dunk makes people forget that he has superb shooting skills. James's excessive versatility makes people think that his offensive ability is not top. The advantages are easier to be magnified by others.

Against Hill alone, Artest is not afraid at all. This guy can break Jordan's ribs in a confrontation match. Now, in order to score, he will not pay attention to Hill in front of him.

Hill and him can be said to be in a competitive relationship.

Artest's most promising honor is the best defensive team. With Hill, it is difficult for him to be shortlisted. Although he is young, he will have time to surpass the latter in the future, but he hopes to let fans know that his defense is better than Hill. I'm much better.

Relying entirely on the collision of muscles, Artest pressed Hill's body to score a throw.

50 is better than 45
Halfway through the second quarter, Hill let Artest hit a ball just after he was replaced.

Mo Mengchen picked up the ball, started to do the inside job, sent the ball to Hill, and said, "Don't be impulsive."

It sounds like he is a narrow-minded person who can't afford to suffer?Devil Mountain blanked him, "Do you think I am you?"

As we all know, the more educated people are, the smaller their minds are, and the more insidious they are. Although Hill and Mo Mengchen have been working together for seven years, they have acted like a gentleman, but who knows if he pretended it on purpose?

Hill dribbled across halftime, and the Pacers implemented the ball-handler strategy of double-teaming and breaking through to the extreme, and the point difference was kept between 7 and 5 points.

The offense and defense fell into place, and Hill moved the ball to the weak side in a wide range. Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball and broke through, and the double-team came quickly.

The off-ball pick-and-roll on the other side freed up Reed's shooting space. Mo Mengchen transferred the ball to Curry at the free throw line, and then Curry made a pass to end the defense.

Reid's open [-]-point chance, and he will impress the Pacers tonight.

"Shh!"

"Michael Reid's first three-pointer of the night!" Lambiel and Johnson didn't expect them to keep saying this sentence.

53 is better than 45
The Pacers' offense still relies on star singles. Bender holds the ball outside and breaks through from beyond the three-point line in turn, which consumes a lot of his energy.

At this time, the person facing him was Rashid.

Rashid doesn't have the footwork of Bender, but he's good at creating pressure with his body.If Bender wants to resist Rasheed's confrontation, he has to use more strength to break through from beyond the three-point line to the basket. Every time he consumes a huge amount of physical energy.

The exhausted Bender gave up the breakthrough, took a tentative step, jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

The shot missed, the Pistons rebounded, Mo Mengchen received a pass from Curry, and threw it straight to Hill who ran forward.Hill was not in a hurry to get the ball, and waited until Reid followed up, and then sent it to the ground.

At the top of the arc at the three-point line, Reed made a shot.

"Michael Reid hits his second [-] of the night!"

"Although the posture is not good-looking, but his touch is quite good." Johnson mentioned Reid's data, "In the regular season, he averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his average playing time was only 26 minutes per game, but the Pistons The third offensive player of the year, the number one favorite for the sixth man of the year."

Lambiel added: "Moreover, during the playoffs, his performance did not decline. In the first round that ended before, he averaged 15 points per game, which was only 1 point lower than the regular season."

As soon as they finished speaking, Jermaine O'Neal performed a dance move inside and hit Curry with a 2+1.

Penalty hit.

48 is better than 56
Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball across half court, and as soon as he reached the top of the arc, the Pistons started a pick-and-roll. This was a strategy discussed in the first quarter, but it was only implemented now.

The Pacers always went around as much as they could for the cover, and tried not to get entangled. Mo Mengchen overbearingly overwhelmed Parker's defense and launched a fierce attack on the penalty area.

At this time, Miller in the bottom corner hesitated. Reed had hit two consecutive three-pointers. Should he let it go?

If he didn't let go, Mo Mengchen succeeded in breaking through directly, but he failed to implement Thomas' defensive deployment.

Let it go, he has already hit two three-pointers in a row.As a pitcher, no one understands what this means better than Miller.

Miller gritted his teeth and executed the deployment of the smiling assassin. Both Mo Mengchen and Miller knew the opponent's choice, and the ball passed to Reed.

Knowing that this would be the result, but still making this choice, the Pacers made a bet.

From the bottom corner on the right, Reed made a three-pointer.

"Again!" Johnson yelled. "My God! Three three-pointers in a row!"

Reid made a prayer gesture on his chest. Unlike other black players who came up from the bottom, he has a happy family.

His family believed in religion, and his life before the age of 14 was like Zebei Rongzhi in "Slam Dunk". What he had to do every day was bullfight with his father in his own yard.

Who would have thought that the little kid who was abused by his overweight father without a temper would stand on such a big stage now?
The Pacers realized something was wrong, and the Smiling Assassin yelled at Miller, "Reggie, keep an eye on that damn guy from now on!"

"No problem!" Millerhorn responded.

The same is double-teaming, the Pistons' double-teaming ball-handler tactics have a higher tacit understanding and greater intensity than the Pacers.

Although the young Parker has the speed of a sports car, but in front of Mo Mengchen, this is not an advantage.

When his breakthrough failed, Hill or Reed would attack from his flank, and their attacks always came when Parker was belatedly aware.

Like a cheesy horror flick, Backlash is the director's only means of scaring.

But if you can make you tremble with fear just by turning around, you don't need any innovation.

"Another steal!"

"Tony Parker fumbles for [-]th double-team error!"

Both Mo Mengchen and Hill had a chance to complete the counterattack. They rushed fiercely, and the young Pacers also chased back at full speed. The score has been stretched to 11 points. If the Pistons counterattack, all their previous efforts will be in vain. .

Mo Mengchen and Hill successfully attracted the defense to the side, and then—Park watched suffocatingly as the basketball was thrown behind his head by Mo Mengchen. Michael Reid on the ball.

Once again, he receives a pass from a teammate.

With a perfect wide open, Reed jumped up and shot, and Miller just arrived, which has been unable to have any impact on the young man's shots.

The basketball flew out of Reed's fingertips, fell like a meteor, and smashed into the basket.

"Fourth ball!"

"Michael Reid's fourth shot of the night!"

"It's all three-pointers, this guy is shooting crazy!"

Lambiel even made a joke: "If I were Dor.Mo, I wouldn't pass the ball to him anymore. His single-game three-pointer record has only been hit for a few days. If this guy keeps shooting like this, don't say it." 13 three-pointers in a single game, even 20 three-pointers in a single game will break it!"

"That's right, Michael's touch is really scary!"

Lambiel and Johnson, you and I, praised Reed so much.

We don't have to believe in the law of character conservation, but don't challenge it easily.

Back from the timeout, the Pacers relied on O'Neal's low post to score. Curry's high-quality screen prevented Miller from getting rid of it. Reed got another open opportunity, but missed the shot.

50 is better than 62
With a 12-point gap, Reid's string of three-pointers rained down on the Pacers' faces.

Even if Reid made such a shot, the Pacers did not give up their previous defensive strategy.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball with one hand, stretched out two fingers with the other, and launched the two-sided linkage pick-and-roll tactic again.

As long as the Pistons' ball handlers break through the Pacers' outside line, they will shrink the line of defense and then double-team. This is the so-called one-sided double-team, but double-teaming requires two people, and the Pistons initiated pick-and-roll tactics on both sides. Through running positions, someone will always be able to run out of opportunities.

Reed was stuck, and Hill cut straight to the basket from the weak side at this time.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball to Curry, and Curry hit the ground high to Hill, who cut inside, and the latter shattered the Pacers' defense with a dunk.

64 is better than 50
For the rest of the second quarter, basically a routine, tried and tested: both sides linked to block and cut, attracting the Pacers to unilaterally pinch, and then go straight to the open space.

They just played like this, the Pacers still didn't change, and the openings became easier and easier. Reid and Hill kept cutting in or pulling out to shoot three-pointers.

It's not terrible to have the defense cracked, but what's terrible is that you don't know how to repent after being cracked.

The determined Pacers were scored 41 points by the Pistons in the second quarter.

The defensive end was riddled with holes. After halftime, 77 to 58, they fell behind by 19 points.

"Our defense wasn't aggressive enough and gave the Pistons too many open looks."

Smiling Assassin didn't seem to realize the real problem, and felt that the team members didn't work hard enough.

Hearing what he said in the halftime interview, Mo Mengchen believed that they could win this game, and the next two away games to Indiana would be sure.

It is simply a textbook incompetence, exhausting the entire army.
