You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 882
The Pacers' determination not to hit the south wall and not look back turned the game into a tactical drill for the Pistons.

They constantly play both sides of the pick-and-roll, a breakthrough, the ball inside, and then the inside is transferred to the other side, directly assisting and scoring.

Curry has never had such a comfortable passing environment. Although the Pacers' defense is fierce, Mo Mengchen's breakthrough always takes their defense away just right, and then distributes the ball to him standing at the free throw line. He passed the puck for an assist.

The passing and cutting of the strong and weak sides, and the transfer of the ball with the inside line as the fulcrum, actually test the passing skills of the inside line.

It's just that it's much easier than Curry's usual Princeton domination of the ball, because his pass target is open, he only needs to think about passing the ball in place, and doesn't have to think about how to avoid being intercepted.

After three quarters, the game turned into garbage time.

Michael Reid failed to break Mo Mengchen's single-game three-pointer record in the playoffs, because the garbage time came too early, and Westphal could not continue to keep him on the court.

Reid ended with the regret of Lambiel and Johnson.

He personally doesn't value records, and Lambiel and Johnson naturally hope that Mo Mengchen's record will be maintained for a long time, but they think that in Mo Mengchen's style, if they see the record they just got broken by others with their own eyes, the media will hype it up again. It is not guaranteed that in the next two games, he will take a large number of three-pointers recklessly and snatch back his record.

Reid was replaced, this hypothesis can only be reduced to a hypothesis.

Curry stayed on the court.

In the first three quarters, his statistics were 12 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks.

The reason why Westphal kept him to continue playing is clear at a glance-let him get 2 more rebounds and get a triple-double.

Westphal, who was born as a player, understands the minds of players very well. The current triple-double is not as rampant as in the small ball era. Being able to get a triple-double is a proof of strength and a manifestation of versatility. Curry is a rookie. Sai hit a triple-double, which was a great encouragement to him.

Curry's last two rebounds came in a dignified manner. He refused the help of his teammates, showing the character of "not to be eaten by you", and insisted on grabbing offensive rebounds.

Because of his willfulness, the Pistons failed to retreat in time and were beaten into counterattacks several times.

But his persistence also paid off. After the Pacers replaced Bender and O'Neal, the inside height and talent were insufficient, and Curry was completely unable to stand up.

"Isn't it just two rebounds?" Mo Mengchen couldn't understand his thankless approach, "Let Jerome help Kaka position, and he can grab the rebound with his hand."

Gorilla Ewing interjected: "I have to say, I really don't like your rule of letting the inside block and the outside grab rebounds, even if it is to speed up the pace of the game. The outside line should do the outside line, and rebounding has something to do with you." what relationship?"

Since the Pistons introduced the concept of indirect rebounds, the person who grabs the most indirect rebounds each year has a bonus. Therefore, every insider who comes to the Pistons will give up 70% of the backcourt rebounds.Of course, if you are willing to give up bonuses, and at the same time grab defensive rebounds and have the ability to pass long passes, then naturally there is no problem.

Because of this regulation, Ratliff, Wallace and other insiders who had been with the Pistons have proved that they have the ability to average 10+ rebounds per game after leaving the team.

"I only know that people who stick to the rules can't achieve great things." Mo Mengchen didn't show mercy because Ewing is an old man, "I now know why you haven't even had a champion after all these years."

Hearing this, the gorilla was furious and stared at Mo Mengchen fiercely, and then saw the other party stretch out three fingers.

The meaning is obvious.

I have three championship rings, what do you have?
This reminded Ewing of the dream team back then. The epic dream team was divided into two factions, one with champions and one without champions.

Usually eat, drink, play cards, go to nightclubs and let the lady kneel down and sing to conquer these things, you have to distinguish clearly. If there are champions who can't grab it, they will use the ring to talk about it, and attach a standard sentence: "Do you dare to grab me? How many rings did you get with such an awesome ring?"

Damn it, how could this young man do this?
Ewing had no choice but to shut up, he knew that Mo Mengchen's mouth was more poisonous than the venom of the king cobra.

After Curry's unremitting efforts, he finally grabbed two offensive rebounds.

"After tonight, Eddie Curry not only has the highest score in a playoff game for a 01-level rookie, but is also the first player in a 01-level rookie to get a triple-double in the playoffs."

Lambiel almost wanted to kick Johnson off his seat. Compared with the record he was going to say, the two Johnson said were just kidding.

"Let's give up these two records." Lambiel said, "As far as I know, Eddie Curry should be the youngest triple-double winner in the history of the playoffs. He is only 19 years old and has 5 triple-doubles. Month, there should be no younger triple-double winner than him in history!"

This news immediately detonated the Empire Axis Arena. Surprised—in fact, angry—the Smiling Assassin yelled a timeout to cleanse Curry, so that Westphal could get this triple-double in garbage time. The little bastard was replaced.

Now that Curry had a triple-double, he had no reason to keep anyone. Westphal replaced Curry with Ewing.

Therefore, this game is no longer interesting.

老尤因为了证明他是对的，整个垃圾时间没有让出一个防守篮板，7分钟内狂刷6防守篮板和4进攻篮板，神勇地砍下5分10篮板1盖帽。

Seeing that the old orangutan can still perform like this, Lambiel said with relief: "Patrick found himself again in Detroit, and this is what he used to be!"

Seeing him sigh with emotion, Johnson said: "Do you remember our game against New York?"

"Of course, I still remember the Eastern Conference semifinals in 1990. I was evenly matched with Patrick." Lambiel boasted, bullying the young fans who are too lazy to look back at the videotapes.

Johnson's mouth twitched.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals in 1990, the most famous third game, Ewing's bloody battle against the Pistons' insiders.

In that battle, Lambiel, Edwards, John Sely, all the guys that the Pistons could play went up. As a result, the gorilla shot a terrifying 45+16+6+3 blocks. Lambiel's data was 16+5 rebounds, which was abused. With such a virtue, what came out of his mouth turned out to be a well-matched duel?

In order to prevent himself from being blown up by his opponents, Lambiel murdered several of his deadly enemies, Johnson did not expose him.

Tonight's game also survived in name only after Curry completed a triple-double.

In the end, the Pistons beat the Pacers and successfully defended their home court.

Next, the battlefield moved to Indiana. With the strength shown by the Pacers in Detroit, the media generally believed that the Pistons would sweep the Pacers out.

"They played well, but we were better."

"Eddie's triple-double? It doesn't really mean anything."

"For us, it's just an ordinary win."

"We just play ball."

Mo Mengchen is like an old Jianghu who has been working in the media for decades, answering questions is like practicing Tai Chi, leaving reporters helpless and unable to dig out any serious information.

This is true for live interviews and press conferences.

Since the game went too smoothly, there was almost nothing worth summarizing. Westphal saw that the players were eager to return, and did not waste time in the locker room.

"We don't play games tonight. Please go home on time and rest early. See you at the Henry Ford Center tomorrow afternoon."

Mo Mengchen sat down slowly, took off his shirt, and changed into a clean casual clothes.

"Well played, see you tomorrow."

The players bid farewell to each other, and the number of people in the locker room dwindled rapidly.

Curry stayed until the end. He originally wanted to thank Mo Mengchen. During the game, what the other party said benefited him a lot.

However, when he was about to thank Mo Mengchen and looked directly into Mo Mengchen's eyes, his lips trembled due to the terrifying aura, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"Remember to have some supper when you go back." Mo Mengchen took his things and said as he walked, "Don't eat too much."

Obviously getting along well with him tonight, Curry just couldn't treat him like everyone else.

His body seemed to resist the feeling, as if they weren't meant to be together in this way.

Mo Mengchen walked to the parking lot, Medela sat in the driver's seat, and Ephraim fell asleep in the middle of the back seat.

Irene was sleeping on top of her, Loria was holding her left arm, Socrates was awake, he was neither clinging to his mother nor excited about Mo Mengchen's arrival.

"Go home directly?" Madeira asked.

"If you want to go for a ride, I have no objection." Mo Mengchen leaned on the passenger seat, glanced at Ephraim who was sitting behind, and changed his mind, "Let's just take a stroll outside and drive slowly. "

This atmosphere was very awkward for Medela, she wanted to say a few words, but Ephraim was sleeping, and soon Mo Mengchen also closed her eyes, leaving only her and Su Gela awake.

Medela looked at Mo Mengchen who was gradually falling asleep, and drove the car helplessly.
