You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 987

9 Chapter Ninety and Three Sections of Foot Dingyin

With 25 seconds remaining in the first half, Ginobili was the only player left on the Pistons field.

Mo Mengchen watched the game.

Pairing Ginobili with Reed, Prince, Randolph and Magloire.

This lineup has shooting, heads-up, and creativity, but it lacks a bit of heat when defending.

One Magloire can't support the entire Pistons' defense.

Ginobili tried several times to play tactics, but failed, the Spurs were determined to defend their last attack of the first half.

At this point, Randolph felt it was his turn to perform.

He stood up and waved his hands.

Ginobili, who wanted to single out the trouble, saw his fat hand and decided to give him a chance.

The second-year Randolph averaged 15 minutes per game, more than half of which was garbage time, contributing 8 points and 5 rebounds per game. He was the second-year player who received the most criticism after Curry.

In his rookie season, due to the presence of Curry, Randolph's [-]th pick in the first round did not bring him much attraction. Everyone wanted to see what quality Curry, who was entrusted with the important task of the future, was.

Curry shouldered the burden of the other four and was scolded for a season.

Now it's Randolph's turn.

The player with the [-]th pick in the first round has special meaning to the Pistons.

From Dumars, to Mo Mengchen, to Ricky Davis and now Randolph, the [-]th pick in the first round of the Pistons is a kind of inheritance, and the least developed Davis is a first-line All-Star in the East , Leading the team to the level of the playoffs.

Where is Randolph?His first year has left the Pistons fans unsatisfied.

Fans and pundits shook their heads, holding beers, staring at Randolph on the TV screen, repeating the already overused but still full of flavor argument: This fat boy does nothing but rebound and shoot. If you don’t do anything, never look at the scoreboard, if you don’t have an aggressive heart that loves the country, loves the people, loves the fans, and loves the team, it will waste time to scan data!
Randolph doesn't care about outside criticism.

What is the internal evaluation of him?Mo Mengchen thinks his behavior during garbage time is normal, because it is garbage time, everyone just thinks about expressing themselves, and there is nothing wrong with his approach.

Like tonight, he entered the regular rotation, and the style of play is different.

He is serious about positioning and defending. Although he is not good enough, but with this attitude, coupled with his innate offensive talent, he will undoubtedly shine next season.

At this time, Randolph began to show a variety of offense.

The Admiral couldn't keep up with Randolph's nimble interior pace inside the free throw line, giving him enough vision to make a small hook at the rim.Gasol, who can keep up with Randolph, can't handle his post-ups, allowing him to move easily to places where he can find opportunities to score with turns and patience.

He was one against two, without fear, and scored a beautiful hook, leaving only 3 seconds for the Spurs.

Kidd didn't want to waste the precious three seconds. He yelled and asked Kirilenko to run forward with all his strength, while he took over the inside job and sent a long pass from the backcourt.

Kirilenko's movement timing is very good, and Kidd's pass is also in place, but the Pistons don't have to defend well because there are only 3 seconds left.

Prince's pursuit was unexpected. He was just behind Kirilenko. Although his body proportions were not as exaggerated as the Russian's, his 218 cm wingspan still helped him block the Russian's counterattack layup at the buzzer.

67 is better than 54
At halftime, the gap was 13 points.

The Spurs went all out to keep the game in suspense, but if they continue to fight like this, their physical fitness will not keep up sooner or later.

The Spurs barely maintain the point difference with the main force against the Pistons' second or even third team. What if they also come on the bench?

Mo Mengchen was covered with a towel, he stood up easily, walked to the reporters on the spot, and accepted the half-time interview.

"Dor.Mo, what do you think needs to be improved in the second half?" the reporter asked.

The local reporters in the holy city really had nothing to ask.

Mo Mengchen replied with a smile: "The offense and defense must be better than in the first half. Only in this way can we win the game smoothly."

"Okay." They couldn't ask anymore, "Thanks Dor.Mo for accepting our interview, here it is."

It's strange that a question was asked in the middle of the interview.

Mo Mengchen hopes that starting today, the media everywhere will follow this as an example.

Back in the locker room, the atmosphere inside was very calm.

These people know that there is still half of the game to be played, and only by playing the second half like the first half can they be the final winners.

"I like your calm look." Westphal said, "But I hope that when you walk out of the locker room, you will be full of enthusiasm. Can play another season non-stop!"

No layout, nothing at all.

Experience tells Westphal that now we only need to encourage the players, as long as they play normally, their strength is enough to win the championship in the SBC Arena.

The players got up from their positions one after another, gathered together, cheered each other up, and finally shouted "FOFOFO" and rushed out of the locker room together.

The average team will return to the field 5 minutes early, but the Pistons returned 8 minutes early.

The fans at the scene interfered weakly, and their emotions were not as excited as they were at the beginning.

If even these fans who like to compete feel that there is little hope, then the Spurs really have no hope.

Second half

Arenas was eager to attack when he came up, calling a pick-and-roll to avoid Hill's death entanglement, but he didn't expect Mo Mengchen to give up defending Kidd decisively, and flanked Hill from left to right.

The attack came so suddenly that he couldn't react at all.

Arenas yelled angrily and passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Kidd made a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

57 is better than 67
He really felt good tonight.

Mo Mengchen just confirmed once again that Kidd can no longer be allowed to shoot open three-pointers.

Because they have a big lead, they can make random temptations. The Spurs are different. They have to be careful every time they attack to ensure the success rate.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball across the half court, and the Spurs' pincer hit was right on target.

In order to double-team Mo Mengchen, they gave up their defense against Ginobili.

This scene is really weird. They actually let go of Manu Ginobili, who made 38% of his three-pointers?
Mo Mengchen had no choice but to pass the ball to the Argentine so that he could use the results to prove how stupid the Spurs were to do so.

70 is better than 57
The old Spurs in his previous life, and Ginobili, who even got retired jersey treatment, has become an important member of the Pistons dynasty. This three-pointer made the Spurs' defense lose its pertinence.

The use of high-intensity defense made Mo Mengchen's offense inaccurate. This was an arrangement Popovich made during the halftime break.

Ginobili hit a three-pointer and the arrangement fell through.

Hill can't let it go, they won't forget how Hill scored 54 points in the second game to defeat them.

Arenas attacked again, still calling a pick-and-roll.

As long as someone else is on defense, everything is easy to say.

Mo Mengchen defended again. He abandoned Kidd, but Hill also turned over after encountering a pick-and-roll.

Arenas' opponent was replaced by Mo Mengchen. Since he had been playing against Hill before, he didn't know the depth of Mo Mengchen, even if the opponent was selected as the first defense of the year.

The major general suddenly stopped on his left side to ride a horse and shoot an arrow, trying to hit the board, but his shot was blocked by Mo Mengchen's fingertips.

The ball went out of the basket, Curry received the rebound and passed the ball to Mo Mengchen.

This is the rhythm that the Spurs hate most, they need to return to defense quickly.

They ran so fast that they basically cut off the possibility of a quick counterattack by the Pistons.

Mo Mengchen slowly dribbled the ball across the half court.

"Be careful of Dor.Mo's three-pointer!"

As soon as Elliott finished speaking, Mo Mengchen changed direction in the frontcourt, swayed Kidd away, and shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

73 is better than 57
Familiar rhythm, in the first few games, the Spurs were mostly beaten like this.

Originally, there was a gap of about ten, and the offense did not play well in a few rounds, and the Pistons took the game away.

Popovich's timeout was called at the right time, but the situation was compelling, and the timeout only eased the momentum of the Pistons.

At the end of the timeout, the Pistons' defensive strength made the Spurs' serve almost impossible.

Gasol ran to the outside to catch the ball, and Rasheed simply entangled him in death and fouled him with the whistle.

The Spurs serve again.

This time, the Pistons' defensive intensity is greater than before, and they have figured out the Spurs' serving tactics.

In desperation, Gasol spotted the Admiral under the basket and lobbed the ball hard.

The idea is beautiful.

It's just that Curry's long arms are comparable to Robinson's, but his projectile speed and bounce are far stronger than the Admiral.

"Steal!"

Elliot said helplessly: "Fatal steal!"

The game has completely entered the rhythm of the Pistons.

No matter what the Spurs do, they can find a solution, but the strength of the Pistons on both ends of the offense and defense is getting stronger and stronger. The Spurs, which basically only rely on seven players to play, cannot play the whole game with this intensity.

Complete the counterattack, only in an instant.

75 is better than 57
