You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 965
Chapter 968 The arrogant selfish ghost

In the first round of another group in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and the Cavaliers faced off. The two sides played six games, and the suspense was not resolved in the last minute.

Ricky Davis and Ben Wallace, two old Piston players, did not have the strength of Penny Hardaway, but with their selfless style of play and completely piston-like running and bombing, they insisted on dragging the life-and-death battle to the end .

The game entered a superstar decisive moment, and Penny stepped up to end the series.

"It's not so much the gap between the Cavaliers and the Knicks, it's more about the gap between the Cavaliers and the pennies."

In the last minute, Penny scored 1 points in a row and led the Knicks to defeat the Cavaliers. With a big score of 7 to 4, he led the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals and successfully joined forces with the Pistons.

This is the fourth time the Pistons and Knicks have met in the playoffs since 1999.

The first three times, the Knicks lost all.

The Pistons have become the lingering shadow of Penny and the Knicks.

In the West, the competition is equally intense.

Especially the matchup between the Lakers ranked fourth in the West and the Rockets ranked fifth in the West.

With the OK Lakers, it stands to reason that there is no problem in defeating the Rockets, and their strength is also superior to the opponent.

As a result, the series unexpectedly ran to seven games.

OK is not harmonious, the Lakers are divided from top to bottom, unable to fight side by side for a common goal.

In the end, they relied on talent to defeat the Rockets and successfully entered the semifinals.

But in this state, there is not much chance of winning against any of the top three teams in the Upper West.

The West is turbulent, and the semifinals in the East have already been released. With the end of the series between the Lakers and the Rockets, the semifinals will follow.

In the first game with the Knicks, the Pistons beat their opponents like a hammer.

18 points victory, although Penny scored a game-high 43 points, but could not rewrite the result.

three days later

Garryton Apartment 250
The hospital told Ephraim not to go out at will, and to have someone by his side 24 hours a day. Mo Mengchen had a heavy task in the competition, so the task of guardianship fell on Medela.

Tonight is the match day of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Medela usually goes to the scene to cheer for Mo Mengchen. Because of Ephraim, she has changed from an assistant to a nanny.

"Amir, I'm really sorry for your inconvenience." Ephraim sat on the sofa.

Madeira sat beside her, saying that it was okay, while Adrian settled the triplets and introduced the game to them solemnly.

It's just that only Socrate listened to his words, and Loria and Irene were more curious about their mother's big belly.

"Hey, it's another fight with the Knicks. It's so boring." Madeira used her way of dealing with customers to create a harmonious atmosphere.

Adrian said with a smile: "I feel a little sorry for Penny, he is very good, but the piston is too strong."

Ephraim smiled as her brother said, and she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, which was a prenatal sign. She often felt this way in the past few days, and she was not surprised.

Mo Mengchen came to the competition scene very early, but he was absent-minded.

Ephraim's due date is just a few days away. If she is lucky, she may be able to meet her birth date during the offseason. As a result, in the past three days, that moment has not come.

After tonight, Mo Mengchen will go to Knicks with the team. If Ephraim gives birth suddenly during his absence, he may not be able to be by her side.

"What's the matter, absent-minded?" Hill asked.

He noticed that Mo Mengchen had been looking at the family seats.

"Don't look, isn't Ephraim about to give birth?" Hill said, "She will cheer for you at home."

Mo Mengchen couldn't tell this guy clearly.

Ten minutes later, the game started.

Brand is not tall, but his wingspan has a great advantage. Through good prediction, his long arms are raised high, and his bullet speed is also good. He won the jump ball from Curry's head.

In the Knicks under Van Gundy, the system has not changed at all, and it will always be so.

Focus on defense and rely on stars to attack.

It looks a bit like the 76ers under Larry Brown. If these two teams play a series, the ratings must be terrible.

It's just that Penny's game was highly entertaining. Against Mo Mengchen, he changed direction and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

2 is better than 0
Mo Mengchen, who is concerned about his wife and children, is not soft. He runs a tactic. Curry goes out to pick and roll. He runs to the left at a 45-degree angle. There is no need to do extra things. His teammates can create shots for him just by running. Chance.

Outside the three-point line on the right wing, Mo Mengchen picked up the ball, flicked it lightly, hit Hardaway, and scored a jumper.

3 is better than 2
"Pretty, Doctor Mo, kill Penny!" Adrian stood up and shouted.

His cry startled Ephraim, even the mother was frightened, and the child in her womb would naturally be affected as well.

Madeira taught him softly: "Adrian, please be more cautious."

"This is a competition. The competition requires passion. As the audience, shouldn't we devote ourselves to it?" Adrian said dissatisfiedly, and asked Socra to support him. "Doctor Mo, what do you think?"

Since Socra was usually quiet and well-behaved like a child, and his eyes were carved out of the same mold as Mo Mengchen, Adrian gave him the nickname Dor.Mo.jr.

Mo Mengchen is very grateful to Adrian for not taking the nickname Dor.MoII.

Socrates seemed to be able to understand what he was saying, and responded softly: "Yes."

Everyone was amazed.

At this time, Brand leaned against Curry with his body, raised his long arms, and hooked close to his body.

7 is better than 5
The Knicks played pretty tough at the beginning, and they decided to attack against attack.

This is another extreme.Back then, when the Pistons were running and bombing, they used defense and confrontation to deal with them. Some teams were surprised by their brain circuits, and they played with them on offense, and they were still undefended offense at the basket.

The running and bombing team represented by the Pistons, once they encounter a game of who is defending who is Sun Tzu, it is difficult for them to lose.

The era of running and bombing for the Pistons has passed, but in the era of Princeton, their game rhythm is at the same level as that of running and bombing teams. It is just that the number of times the ball is passed in positional warfare has greatly increased, but the number and efficiency of counterattacks are still higher than that of running and bombing teams. Boom era.

In this great 77-win season, they averaged 122 points per game, ranking first in the league.

The average points per game can not only be compared with those famous running and bombing teams in history, but also compared with the running and bombing themselves. The Kings, they can score 116 points in a game, which is still a notch behind the Pistons.

Brand just scored on Curry.

Mo Mengchen bluffed and waved. Curry went out first and then cut in. The speed was very fast. As a short insider, Brand was of course not slow, but the former's cut was too sudden. Rand didn't see through the Pistons' attack, and Curry broke into the empty goal. Mo Mengchen sent the ball into the air, and the little shark jumped up, grabbed the ball, and smashed it down hard.

7 is better than 7
Penny dribbled the ball to the front line, spat out trash talk with Mo Mengchen, pressed the three-point line and pulled out his hand dryly, but missed.

Mo Mengchen grabbed the long rebound and advanced quickly.

"Kill him!" Adrian yelled.

Mo Mengchen made an emergency stop in the frontcourt, and the fake action of the first shot made Penny take off to block the block. The perfect Baifo shook the King of New York behind him, stepped into the three-point line, accelerated, and completely passed Hardaway.

High-speed offensive and defensive transitions require split-second judgment.

For a person like Mo Mengchen with multiple offensive threats, it is impossible to defend against his counterattack with a single defense.After Penny was sent flying by a shot fake, his teammates could only watch from a distance as Mo Mengchen rushed to the basket and scored a dunk.

9 is better than 7
"Damn you crafty fellow," cursed Penny.

Mo Mengchen stopped in his tracks, he was always thinking about Ephraim, he was in a mood of irritability, Hadaway himself sent him to the door to find him, how could he let him go?

"Even elementary school students can't be fooled by fake moves. What face do you have to say such useless nonsense?"

The fellow had no friend at all in his eyes at the moment, and Penny was irritated by his words.

For three consecutive offenses and defenses, Penny was all one-on-one with Mo Mengchen.

"Anfernee, calm down!" Van Gundy yelled when he was singled out for the third time.

The impatient Penny couldn't hear Van Gundy's cry. His actions made Van Gundy lose a few more hairs, but his offense was not just a momentary one.

Mo Mengchen, who was facing him, felt the deepest. Pence had the offensive ability to score on anyone, even him.

Singled out three times in a row and scored twice.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball, and it was also a one-on-one match, and he also scored twice.

13 is better than 13
The first quarter of the game turned into a pas de deux between Mo Mengchen and Penny.

"It's not a game that we see very often," Lambiel said. "I mean, great players like Dor. Mo and Penny, when they put together such a good game, all you can do is throw With the popcorn in hand, concentrate on it and enjoy it with peace of mind."

In the fourth round, Penny broke through first and then split the ball.

On the right, Kurt Thomas made a three-pointer.

16 is better than 13
"You think I'll fight you to the end?" Hardaway laughed, "I'm not that stupid."

In Mo Mengchen's eyes, he was just that stupid.

Penny ended the one-on-one duel unilaterally, but the aggressive Mo Mengchen didn't intend to stop, his attack was even more excessive than before.

Before, he would beckon his teammates to open the position, even if he doesn't need to break through the space at all, he can let his teammates know that he wants to play singles, and others don't have to work hard.

This round, he didn't say hello. After dribbling continuously, he swayed Penny from left to right. There was only less than a second to shoot. The right wing three-pointer flew out of the palm of his hand at the speed of light.

16 is better than 16
"You!" He blushed with morale, "You arrogant selfish ghost!"

"It's selfish once in a while, and I can still see you looking angry, what's wrong with that?" Dor.Mo said angrily, and ran away without looking back.
