You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 900 The dynasty survives, the powerful enemy strikes

"If you don't watch the Pistons game, you don't know that the conference finals can be so boring." Vinier Johnson sighed with emotion.

At this time, there were still 5 minutes before the end of the game, and both sides had already replaced the substitutes.

"Times have really changed." Lambiel said gloomily, "In the previous divisional finals, everyone was desperately fighting for a spot in the finals, but now it's just a passing scene of 'Okay, okay, hurry up and finish me so I can get off work' .”

Due to the addition of Lambiel, the commentary style of the Pistons' home games has become more and more strange.

The normal commentary is that one person quickly summarizes the progress of the game, and the other analyzes the tactics during dead balls or timeouts, spreads some knowledge during the game, and of course can tell humorous jokes. To ridicule the opponent, some fans came to watch the game to test the authenticity of this matter-the result is really true.

This pair of commentators was quickly labeled as unprofessional and blind, but it doesn’t matter if you are unprofessional, it doesn’t matter if you are blind, as long as you don’t touch politically correct things, no one will embarrass you, the Pistons The ratings of the home game are the highest in the NBA, and the unique commentary style of Johnson and Lambiel is also an absolute plus.

But tonight's game is definitely more boring than what they said.

In the end, the Pistons, who played mainly in Princeton, scored an inhumane 76 points on 130.

Since there was no defense in the whole game, the 76ers' weak offensive ability also scored 108 points on the Pistons.

The 76ers lost another 22 points, and the Eastern Conference Finals ended here, in a way without any suspense.

Mo Mengchen played 28 minutes tonight and scored the lowest 26 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in a single game in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Including this game, in five games in the Eastern Conference finals, he averaged 34 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game. He is worthy of the name of MVP, and he also played another masterpiece on the 76ers.

After tonight, the Pistons officially defeated the 76ers, won tickets to the finals, and faced the Sacramento Kings on top of the world.

The finals will start on June 6th.

Two days before the game, the Kings arrived in Detroit.

Doug Collins walked out of the airport with his complacent team members. There were a large number of media waiting outside for a long time, not only local Detroit media, but also foreign media.

"You swept the West with run-and-bomb tactics, does that mean that run-and-bomb tactics are not outdated yet?" The reporter's question made Collins' face change slightly.

He replied: "There are many kinds of tactical systems, the same concept, but they have completely different appearances. The Princeton of the Pistons is different from the original Princeton of the Kings. In the same way, our running and bombing is different from the Pistons' running and bombing. "

Collins went straight, and this time he landed in Detroit, he returned with glory and pride.

The city that had cast him out had achieved immortality like a ridiculous curse.

As the Pistons won three consecutive championships, many media made jokes about Collins.

Among them, the "Detroit Worker" ridiculed him the most.

"There are many formulas in the world, and I will draw up a formula through some laws, which is hereby named Collins' Law."

"The core of the formula: The building of a dynasty must go through the process of firing Doug Collins."

"Case 1989: The Bulls hated the playoffs in [-] and fired Doug Collins. After a year of dormancy, the Bulls opened up a six-time championship dynasty."

"Case 1997: The Pistons lost the semifinals in 98, and Doug Collins took the blame and resigned during the offseason. Also after [-] years of losing, the Pistons started the Triple Crown Dynasty strongly."

"It can be seen that if the Kings want to achieve the achievements of the Pistons and Bulls, they must fire Doug Collins this summer, and then wait patiently for a year. After the storm, there must be a rainbow, and if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the burden!"

Vicious, sarcastic, humorous, funny, everyone has their own opinion, but in Collins' opinion, this is definitely the most vicious advice.

He finally led the Kings to achieve results. The team system is mature and the lineup is young. If the management is really brainwashed after hearing these words, who can he turn to for reasoning?

Thinking of this, Collins was worried. If he wanted to keep his coaching position, the only way was to win the championship.

This will not only make this damn formula a joke, but the Kings have no reason to fire the meritorious coach who brought the team the first championship in team history.

"Win the championship and end the era of the Pistons, we must do it!" Collins shouted at the players on the bus.

The young people headed by McGrady echoed Collins excitedly.

The Kings arrived in Detroit and were about to check into the hotel. At the same time, the Pistons had just finished intense training. Westphal did not disband the team, but kept the players and let them concentrate in the tactical analysis room.

The team members took a simple shower in the bathroom of the training hall, changed their clothes, and headed to the tactical analysis room to gather.

Seeing that everyone was here, Westphal asked the assistant to play the edited highlights.

"You all know that the king beats the boom."

"I know, isn't it our old routine?" Rashid said proudly, "We won't run away, these idiots can't eat hot shit even if they eat shit!"

"No, they gave up on our run-and-gun."

The TV began to play the edited highlights. This was several consecutive offensive rounds, and the King's offensive thinking was clearly presented in front of the Pistons.

After watching two rounds, their first reaction was: "Is this also called running and bombing?"

"Not counting the dribble time, they try to finish every play within eight seconds," Westphal said. "They call their system the run and gun."

Jerome complained: "What tactics can you play in eight seconds?"

Pick-and-roll offense, screen tactics, hand-to-hand three-pointers, superstar singles, sudden points.
Many plans appeared in Mo Mengchen's mind, and the video also gave feedback, which were indeed the ones he thought of.

These plans can be completed in a short period of time, but there is a serious problem, that is, there is no strict strategy.

Like Jerome said, eight seconds is no good strategy.

The Kings abandoned the complex tactics of the Pistons. They carried out the word "boom" of running and bombing to the end, which indeed inspired the super firepower of Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki.

After entering the playoffs, Tracy McGrady averaged 30 points per game, and Nowitzki averaged 28 points per game. The two completely released their personal offensive power under the so-called unrestrained running and bombing system.

"Sam Cassell, a seasoned offensive player, a smart organizer, an underestimated breakthrough knife, has the ability to play in the low post on the left and right sides." This is the scouting report that the Pistons have prepared for Cassell, " Mo, his role with the Kings is consistent with the Bucks."

Mo Mengchen said: "I will keep an eye on him."

Everything in the picture, the key player becomes Divac.

"The Serbian's role in the Kings is equivalent to our Rashid." Westphal introduced, "His high-level strategy is crucial to the operation of the team system. Without him, the Kings would not be able to sweep the Spurs out. .”

Everyone couldn't help looking at Curry, who will face Divac in the final.

Divac is used to playing games with his mind, and he is good at making small tricks, which happens to be what Curry hates the most. He can't do anything against Duncan, and he can't do anything against Divac. The two matches in the regular season were not good. .

"I'll get him," Curry said bravely.

Unfortunately, not many people believed what he said.

Finally, the painting style changed.

With a bald head, kind eyebrows and kind eyes when he smiles, his cheekbones are centered and lower, the famous major general killer, Bruce Bowen whom Popovich hates to the bone.

Next, a series of insidious moves that Bowen used against opponents during this year's playoffs were broadcast on the big screen.

"Grant, in front of him, you have to act like a 40-year-old veteran and try not to jump too high."

Hill listened to Westphal, carefully watching a series of special murder-scene moments on the TV.

Of course Hill knew about Bowen. When he was playing as a substitute for the Celtics, Mo Mengchen reminded him to be careful.

In that round of the series, Mo Mengchen shattered Bowen's self-esteem, but it was not enough to destroy this strong and insidious guy. He eventually grew into a famous defensive gatekeeper in the league. Dirty tricks.

"I'm fine," Hill said.

This tactical analysis meeting is more like a discussion meeting on the characteristics of the Kings. Westphal finished introducing the characteristics of the main personnel and began to explain their system through highlights.

With a tactical clip of more than ten minutes, it is absolutely certain that their tactics are very limited.

The most conventional tactics are pick-and-roll breakthroughs, and outside points. The degree of obsession with three-pointers is comparable to the later small ball era.

Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki really do well in such a system, coupled with the combination of Bowen and Divac, and Anthony Mason sitting off the court, the offense is fast and gorgeous, and the defensive end is also escorted.

This is the enemy of the Pistons two days later, a brand new opponent.

They played familiar and unfamiliar running and bombing, striving for victory and aiming at the championship.

The survival of the dynasty is at stake here.
