You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 955 The fifth defeat of the season

Chapter 958 The fifth defeat of the season
On February 2, the Pistons played against the Jazz back-to-back.

Ginobili and Rasheed continue to be absent, and the Jazz, which lacks the depth of the lineup, still rely on the two elders to make a living.

The Pistons went back to the old days, running and bombing the whole field.

So history was made. Mo Mengchen and Hill scored a record-breaking 40+ triple-double in the same game.

126 is better than 88
When Malone scored 13 points and 3 rebounds, the Jazz could not expect a miracle to happen.

Moreover, the biggest interesting fact tonight is that the total score of Mo Mengchen and Hill happened to be 86 to 88, the total score of the Jazz team.

The streak continues.

At this time, the Pistons are 45 wins and 4 losses, and continue to move towards the expectations of the outside world.

Back home in the next game, the opponent is the Bucks. There is no suspense, and it is another 20-point victory.

The momentum of the Pistons is completely unstoppable.

Two days later, the strong enemy walker came to visit.

After Larry Bird took over the management of the Pacers, he kicked away the Smiling Assassin and at the same time brought in Carlisle to rectify military discipline. The strong team not only overtook the Knicks, but also suppressed the 76ers in the combat power list, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

If any team can end the Pistons' winning streak, the Pacers are definitely the favorites.

In the past few years, the Pistons and the Pacers have played against the Pacers several times in the regular season, and the winning rate is less than [-]%. Although the Pacers will always be sent home by the Pistons in the playoffs, their strength is obvious to all in the less intense regular season. .

Under the expectations of the outside world, the answer given by the Pacers was a narrow defeat by the Pistons' Princeton tactics at the end of the game.

Jonathan Bender scored a game-high 42 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists with his epoch-making inside play. Unfortunately, his play was helpless against the Pistons' single defense at the critical moment.

Not only was he completely strangled to death, but his defensive flaws and poor rebound protection were also completely exposed.

The final tactical lore is proof that the Pistons are superior.

"My players have tried their best, and the Pistons are a better team." Pacers coach Cassell said after the game when he commented on the game, "Their tactics are impeccable, and they have a fairly deep bench depth."

Even the Pacers, second in the Eastern Conference, failed to end the Pistons' winning streak.

After this battle, the Pistons have won 47 games.

On February 2, the Pistons set off again, playing a two-game streak in the Western Conference. The first away game was the Phoenix Suns, a strong team in the Western Conference.

The well-staffed Pistons shot straight to the sun, winning 48.

After the game, they took a special plane to Memphis overnight. The next night, Westphal announced that they would reduce the playing time of Mo Mengchen and Hill in this game.

The resistance of the Grizzlies is impressive. They are ranked second to last in the Western Conference this season. This record is likely to bring them back a top-five lottery pick. The position will eventually be handed over to the damn Pistons.

Therefore, they do not want to be bad from the bottom of their hearts.

But strength does not allow them to strengthen themselves.

Tonight, Mo Mengchen and Hill played 23 and 25 minutes respectively.

两人都是象征性的砍下14+5+4和17+4+4的数据就下场休息了。

This feast of abuse belongs to the second and third teams of the Pistons.

What does a brutal game look like?
First you have to get 150 points;
Secondly, nine players in the team scored in double figures, and Randolph scored the highest score. This gentleman scored 17 points in garbage time, the highest score in the team.

The Grizzlies obviously wanted to resist, and the Pistons didn't put up much defensive strength, allowing them to score 111 points.

However, the Pistons scored 150 points.

150 is better than 111
This game without any suspense ended with a rating of 14.

In a game of who defends who is Sun Tzu, the Pistons won without any suspense and beat the Grizzlies to disgrace, with no hope of winning at all.

"Let's pray."

The commentator at the Memphis home court said sadly: "If we bring this year's No. [-] pick to Detroit, then we are the sinners of the entire league!"

"Can you imagine this team drafting LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony in June?"

"It's like a horror movie!"

In this way, the Grizzlies were double-killed by the Pistons this season.

A fiasco that was enough to depress them for many days gave the Pistons 49 wins.

The Grizzlies' fiasco made people pay attention to the draft in June again. If the Pistons get the No. [-] pick this year, it would be really terrible.

But soon, as the Pistons defeated the Knicks led by Penny by 16 points at home, they became the first team to win 50 wins in the regular season this season.

At this time, the Spurs, ranked second in the league, had only won 40 wins.

The Pistons are in full swing, and there are speculations about them.

The most heated discussion is of course whether they can break the historical record held by the 96 Bulls.

More than [-]% of the media believe that the Pistons can break the record.

The remaining 96% of the media don't think they can break the record, but they are sure that they are a stronger team than the [-] Bulls.

There are several reasons:
First, the era they lived in was more competitive than in 96. At that time, the Bulls were just in the era of the league's great expansion, and the number of bad teams increased, and there were more opportunities to win records;
The second, of course, is the depth of the lineup.Both Mo Mengchen and Hill are just in their thirties. They have won four consecutive championships, and their overall lineup is still very young. In addition, there are far more people who can recruit and fight well than the Bulls.

The last one, four consecutive championships.

Nothing is more convincing than getting the credit for your hand.

"My view on this matter is the same as before." On the night of winning 50 wins, Mo Mengchen said to the media, "Being able to break the record is naturally the best. If you can't break it, don't worry about it. That has never been our goal. "

As far as he is concerned, if he can break the record of 96 bulls, it means a great achievement.

This achievement is titled on the Achievement Wall: Best Achievement in History.

And it can be done continuously.

For example, if they win 73 games this year, if they win 74 games next year, they can still do it again.

But for the Pistons, this season is the best opportunity.

This season happened to be a season in which they successfully transitioned from the run-and-gun system to the Princeton system, and their use of the new system matured.

It was also a season in which their zone defense system was completely stabilized.

Other teams have not yet discovered the advanced level of the Pistons on both offense and defense. When they are successful, other teams will target and imitate and learn, and the advanced nature of the system will no longer have such a big advantage.

And, the chemistry within the team is the best since the 98 season.

Michael Reed, who can start in most teams and be trained as a core player, plays the sixth man without complaint;

Magloire, Jerome, Gerrard, Watson, Prince, Randolph and others supported the second and third teams, plus five starters.

The Pistons this season can be called a historically strong team.

Breaking records, playing triumphant songs, and being included in the discussion of the best team in history in the future are all foreseeable.

Of course, there are bound to be people who disagree.

The 96 Bulls are only 7 years ago, and more than half of the players are still active in the league.

Steve Kerr, who is currently playing for the Spurs, said: "I admit that the Pistons are the strongest team in the league, and they may also break the record, but they absolutely cannot sway as freely as the 96 Bulls."

No one knew what he meant by being free.

If smart passing is considered free and easy, the Pistons' ball transfer is well-known all over the world.

If fancy offense is considered free and easy, the Pistons, which rely on running and bombing to beat the country, firmly refuse to accept his words.

What Cole meant by freedom of movement, no one knew.

The good media throws the same question to the active Scott Pippen.

As the core player of the 96 Bulls, Pippen's words carry more weight than Cole. Although he has reached the end of his career, most players respect him because no active player has more rings than him.

"The Pistons are strong, and I respect what they've achieved," Pippen said. "Even if they won 82 games, it would be a joke if they didn't have a ring, so my opinion is wait until they finish the playoffs. "

Pippen's words are still polite, but they are not overly affirmative or completely negative, and the winner will be judged.

Rodman, who has already retired, is not so polite. To the younger generation of the Pistons, he looks horizontally and vertically, in short, three words-look down.

"So what if those sissies break the record? The current league is too weak, and I've stopped watching games for a long time!" When Rodman was being interviewed, he hugged a middle-aged woman with strong fragrance and thick powder in a rough voice. "Let them die!"

It just so happened that Jordan was in the final season of his career.

The reporter will naturally not let him go.

Jordan’s life is not only a life of struggle, but also a life of getting along with the media. He knows how to deal with this group of people: “It’s not easy to compare teams in an era, and it’s meaningless to explore strengths and weaknesses. 72 wins are not out of reach. Record, I believe the Pistons have the strength to break the record, I will always pay attention to their performance."

Probably the goodwill of Joe's gang leader shocked the Pistons.

They were considered invincible, but they lost in the game against the seventh Rockets in the Western Conference.

The game was held at the Empire Axis Arena, and Pierce and Houston played with both guns.

Especially Houston, who was a killer against his old owner, scored 39 points by cutting mid-range shots and catching three-pointers.

Pierce played a masterpiece of his career against Hill. In his previous life, he had been ignored before winning the championship, and it is the same in this life.

After being selected by the Rockets in 98, although he was able to enter the playoffs, he did not have the strength to compete for the championship. The annual output of about 24 points per game proves that the reputation of the offensive kaleidoscope is well-deserved, but what else is there?
Tonight, he blasted Hill and, together with Houston, led the Pistons to their fifth defeat of the season.
