You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 886 From defensive loopholes to defensive elites
Judging from Iverson's offensive, his injury should be almost healed.

If this is the case, then the 76ers are indeed difficult to deal with, unless Iverson and Duncan are at odds.But the conflict between the two is not as sharp as OK, and it can be said that they have no conflict at all.

Duncan is an outsider and has no roots in Philadelphia. From the perspective of character, he will not compete with Iverson.Iverson himself is not a difficult teammate, and, moreover, they now have a common enemy.

Mo Mengchen patted the ball lightly, and it was not Iverson or Snow that the 76ers sent to defend him, but the tallest player on their perimeter—Matt Halprin.

Halprin was an all-rounder in basketball and football when he was in college. He had a strong physique and was active and brave on the defensive end. Although he didn't get any personal honors about defense, he was a hard stubble on the outside from the 90s.

With the physical condition of the 2nd position, he is hard-topped at the 76rd position by the 3ers, and he can see his style without much loss.

The Pistons didn't expect Harprin to guard Mo Mengchen. Although Hill is also a superstar, every team will use the best perimeter defender to match Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen was not in a hurry to confront Harprin, he passed the ball to the free throw line, and Curry made a mid-range shot in front of Duncan.

His touch doesn't support his offense.

The ball bounced out of the basket, and Rasheed grabbed the rebound in his hand by rushing, shouted loudly, and wanted to come hard, and heard Ginobili's voice behind him.

Roaring Tianzun scored the ball, Argentine Yaodao's pitching fake action brought Snow, who was defending Hill, in front of him, and finally scored the ball to Devil Mountain who was absolutely open.

3 is better than 2
The Pistons responded to the Sixers with offensive rebounds and reasonable ball movement.

Mo Mengchen pressed Iverson in the frontcourt, and the latter was fearless. While controlling the ball, he observed the situation in the frontcourt, and then took the ball across the half court.

Duncan stands low on the left, and Iverson can pass the ball at any time.

Seeing that Shifo had this opportunity, Iverson naturally wouldn't take the ball in his hands-the moment Duncan took the ball, the Pistons' defense began to shrink.

At the beginning of this season, the league allowed zone defense. Not only did the Pistons switch to playing Princeton on the offensive end, but they also became a zone-based team on the defensive end.

NBA teams' research on defense is still limited to regional double-teaming, communication teams, and targeted threats against opponents' shooting hotspots, but the Pistons have completed the construction of a team-wide cooperation system.

They especially like to target the opponent's shooting points when they are playing zone defense.

Usually, players who don't shoot well will be the ones they let go.

If the opponent is the 76ers, they are really a bit embarrassed-not because they are too accurate, but because they are too inaccurate, who is better to let go?
In the regular season, Iverson averaged 4.5 three-pointers per game and hit 1.3. After rounding, his shooting percentage barely reached 30%. He only took 30.3 shots. As we all know, the more shots, the lower the efficiency, even Dor.Mo's sharp shot is no exception. Therefore, under the high-intensity defense, Harprin's shooting level may only be better than the statistics show. It came out worse; as for Snow, let's just ignore it.

The most ironic thing is that the 76ers start with five players, and the one with the most accurate outside three-point shooting is the inside Derek Coleman, who has a 35% three-point shooting percentage.

Popovich once claimed in the small ball era that he hated three-pointers for more than 20 years. As his mentor, Larry Brown can point to his nose and say, "I hated three-pointers before you hated them." "Otherwise, can the 76ers concentrate so many unreliable shooters?
Only he knew how bitter Duncan felt. When he was about to attack, defending Harprin's Hill, Ginobili, who was facing Snow, attacked like an assassin. He glanced at Snow and Harprin. , who is better?
The hesitation only lasted for a moment. Compared to Snow who didn't shoot three-pointers at all, Harprin was of course the best choice.

Under heavy pressure, iron must be struck.

The rebound flew out, Curry got stuck, Hill took off the defensive rebound easily, the whirlwind of the counterattack had already blown, Devil Mountain saw Dor.

The guy's speed is a natural fit for fast breaks.

Hill's long pass was as accurate as in the NCAA Final Four.

Mo Mengchen caught the pass, pinpointed the position, and made a shot from outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and hit it again.

6 is better than 2
"It's amazing. I see Dor.Mo's three-pointers as reassuring as Matt Halperin's three-pointers." Lambiel is getting more and more used to the position of commentator, and this guy is not afraid of being reported at all. Dare to say, during the game, he repeatedly gave a painful make-up to the opponent in the away game, and was affectionately called "the seventh man on the field" by the Pistons officially.

The 76ers' offense mainly relies on Iverson and Duncan, who averaged 53 points per game during the regular season, more than half of the team.

At this moment, Duncan pulls out and picks and rolls for Iverson.

Curry helped defend Iverson, and Shi Fu followed behind. Iverson went to the basket and attracted the Pistons to double-team. He boldly provoked the Pistons, and then hit the ball back to Duncan. hand.

Duncan received the ball, threw a frontal throw in the paint, and hit the basket.

4 is better than 6
Mo Mengchen quickly picked up the ball on the ground - none of the 76ers had retreated to the backcourt - he picked up the ball and threw it forward vigorously.

"Watch out for their fast attack!"

The counterattack speed is terrible, the ball leaps halfway and passes to Ginobili's hands.

Snow followed up quickly, but the Argentine had a positional advantage. He made a serpentine step in the frontcourt, exerted strength, and his physical fitness crushed Snow. It was like a combination of dry wood and raging fire. The 76ers buzzed inside the rim.

"Damn you." Iverson didn't expect them to play so fast.

"You are the one to be damned." Mo Mengchen used his body to suppress him, "I will make you very sad next time, so prepare yourself mentally."

very sad?Iverson was about to use a sneer to show how disdainful he was for this, but Mo Mengchen used real confrontation to keep him speechless.

For a full 24 seconds, let alone the ball, Iverson couldn't even see Snow's position clearly.

Mo Mengchen stood in front of him, fighting against him all the time. No matter how he got rid of it, he couldn't run out of the space to receive the ball. The terrifying off-ball pressure made Iverson feel turbulent.

When did Dor.Mo's defense become so good?
Even Mo Mengchen's teammates were surprised, this scene is surreal to anyone who has watched Mo Mengchen grow up.

In 1995, Mo Mengchen was a defensive loophole for the Pistons, and he needed Thorpe, Mills and others to fill in the gaps for him.But now, he can defend Iverson into a mess with his own strength alone. His defense can not only be reflected in the statistics, but the official also affirms his performance by being selected as the second defense of the year.

On Snow's side, even though he was originally the No. 1 player, if it weren't for the existence of Mo Mengchen, Iverson should have played the No. 2 position, and then he would have played the No. 1 position as a field control player.Now that Iverson is so defended that he can't catch the ball, Ginobili and Rashid have inhumanely double-teamed him.

Snow was about to make a mistake. Before the ball was released, he took the risk to pass the ball out.

The result was still stolen.

"This group of people even dare to release Derek?" Larry Brown has never seen such a defense. In order to put pressure on the ball holder, he emptied the 76ers' most accurate three-pointer, even if he is an insider.

Double-teaming, unless it is a star, the head coach of each team will not use it easily, because double-teaming means giving the opponent a big open.Today's coaches are mostly from the 80s. I have seen Bird and Magic. If these two players dare to give them an open space, they can pass the ball in a blink of an eye.

If it weren't for being helpless against you, who would draw out excess strength to deal with you?

The Pistons showed a tactical concept that was ahead of the times. Snow's pass was blocked, and Ginobili led the counterattack.

Ginobili simply stopped his movements and slammed the ball forward with one hand. The ball hit the floor like a cannonball and flew into Hill's arms with a huge rebound force.

"This pass is poetic!"

Hill took the ball, started off, almost at the same height as the basket, and slammed it hard.

The Empire Axis crowd stood and cheered, and Larry Brown sullenly called a timeout.

8 is better than 4
Although it is only 4 points away, the 76ers have been heavily targeted on the court. The restrictive effect of Mo Mengchen on Iverson who is off the ball is something Brown did not expect.

After Mo Mengchen has top speed, strength, physical fitness and defensive skills, the impact on Iverson is beyond Brown's imagination.

If this continues, he will become more and more difficult to fight.

Thinking of this, Brown looked at a guard at the end of the bench who was bigger than Snow and Iverson and said, "Vandig, replace Eric."

Only played 3 minutes in the opening game, the Pistons performed well in all aspects, and Westphal did not make any changes.

"Mo, if the AI ​​doesn't personally dribble the ball across the half, you just defend him like this," Westphal said, "Tell me if you get tired."

The once defensive loopholes have become pioneers who can block the opponent's outside core alone.

Mo Mengchen nodded. The system gave him the top speed, strength and physical fitness. Coupled with the experience accumulated in these years of on-field games, he has indeed become an excellent defender.

After the timeout ended, he returned to the court, but unexpectedly, the 76ers replaced an unfamiliar Anonymous on the court.

Who is this? Dor.Mo had no impression of the visitor.

The thing is like this, because of the [-] rewards from "lenx", starting today, I will add one chapter a day, and try to complete the additions before the festival. Finally, thank lenx for the [-] rewards.Finally, I hope everyone will spend rationally, stop tipping, let me have a good year, thank you, kowtow, love you baby.
