You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 988 Thank you, David
Chapter 991 Thank you, David

With Mo Mengchen's chasing three-pointer, the Pistons' lead expanded to 20 points.

Since then, the commentators on the scene, Spurs star Elliott and Mike Breen have not said anything about the outcome.

As commentators, they probably also know what it means to let the Pistons lead by 20 points in the middle of the third quarter.

Three quarters are over.

92 is better than 69
With a gap of 23 points, Game 2003 of the [-] NBA Finals is about to usher in the final quarter.

In the first three games, no matter how the team played, Popovich stood on the sidelines, screaming constantly.

Since the third quarter, the Pistons extended the advantage to 20 points, and their timeout has no effect at all.

Popovich sat down.

As stubborn as him, as aggressive as him, he also accepted this result.

It is meaningless to wait until the general trend is set before entering the game late, and it is even more foolish to leave the game early when the victory or defeat is not yet decided.

Popovich is not an idiot, he just knows that the Spurs have no chance of winning.

There is no chance of even winning the Pistons in the series.

The opponent is so powerful and out of reach.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs hadn't given up nominally, and they put on the full starting lineup.

Kidd, Arenas, Kirilenko, Gasol and Robinson.

This set of lineups that dominate the Western Conference can't escape the fate of losing 20 points per game to the Pistons. There is one quarter left in the game, and they can't give up.

The Spurs are all starters, and the Pistons are half starters.

Even if it is a semi-starting lineup, it feels the same as the starting lineup.

Momochen, Reed, Hill, Rasheed, and Magloire.

This lineup has the strength, range, and continuity at both ends of the offense and defense, and can cope with any form of challenge.

Even if the suspense of the game has basically disappeared, the Pistons will not give up tactics as long as it is still a war between the starters.

Arenas handles the ball at the top of the arc, and he calls for Gasol's pick-and-roll.Rasheed decisively flanked Arenas with Hill, and Gasol got an open space.

The versatile Spaniard received a pass from the free throw line. He glanced at the basket. The Pistons' rotation was not in place, and he had an open shot.

After aiming, the jump shot is released.

"boom!"

The basketball swished around the rim and popped out.

As if mocking the Spurs, the rebound fell to the Admiral.

Tonight, Robinson played longer than usual, counting this offensive rebound, and his personal data has reached 16 points and 10 rebounds.

"If this is the last game of David Robinson's career, he is worthy of anyone." Old teammate Elliott said with emotion.

Robinson exploded at the basket, and Magloire didn't show mercy just because the opponent was leading by a big score, or because the opponent was a senior who had been famous for many years. The serious thug was shot on Robinson's arm.

The sure-fire slam dunk is due to an external force that makes it fly out of the basket.

Boos again.

This is the piston.

Slack with a big lead?Have mercy on your opponent?Act like a gentleman?No, they want to tear their opponents to shreds.

That's what they'll do until the Spurs throw in the towel.

This is Magloire's fourth personal offense. He doesn't care. He came up to do this. Even if he leaves the field with all fouls, there are still Curry and Ewing who can replace him. There is no need to worry.

70 is better than 92
Robinson made two free throws and Magloire served to Hill.

Mo Mengchen slowly ran to the frontcourt. He has scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. As long as he is willing, he can score 30 points without any problem.

Hill slowed down the pace, mobilized the team, opened up the space, and made clear gestures to let Mo Mengchen ask for the ball in a low position.

Mo Mengchen got the order, and Kidd, who was 100 kilograms, was stuck in the low position on the left side and asked for the ball.

Generally, he would not back up a giant like Kidd. At this point in the game, there is no suspense about the outcome, and Hill doesn't want to play too complicated tactics. Let the Spurs see how many tricks the great Dor.Mo has hidden.

Mo Mengchen received the pass and stood firm, his back sensing how Kidd was defending behind him.When back hitting, upper body strength and lower body strength can't really help much, and core strength can only be used to block positions.Traditional back-ups require a lot of weight for the attacker. Therefore, those traditional centers with rich low-post skills, the heavier they are, the more unstoppable they are. This is the case with Sharks and Yao Huang.Mo Mengchen didn't expect to push Kidd away, and he went all out for the first impact. Kidd couldn't wait for him to exert his strength again, so he turned and faced the basket and stepped forward to get rid of him. With a light pick, the ball Enter.

94 is better than 70
"You really look like a goose on defense, next time I'll shoot directly." Mo Mengchen previewed the attack method of the next round in advance.

Hill was not surprised by his offensive success. During the team match, Mo Mengchen even dared to back him.Although Kidd has a weight of 100 kilograms, if Mo Mengchen can even hit him with his back, how difficult is it to hit Kidd with his back?
On the offensive end, Mo Mengchen has no weaknesses at all.

Time can really change everything. Hill has almost forgotten what Mo Mengchen was like when he just joined the Pistons in 1995.

The Spurs' frontcourt layout, as usual, Gasol is brave and wants to position. With his soft personality, it is also ruthless to be able to occupy such a position.

As soon as Kidd passed the ball, Hill nearby immediately flanked him.

The person who was emptied was Arenas. In Gasol's view, the Pistons simply ate the ball and passed the ball on the spot-how could it be so simple?Mo Mengchen rushed over in an instant, the explosive power and speed of this instant made Kidd's hair stand on end.

In the four finals, Mo Mengchen showed such speed and explosiveness for the first time.

What happened in front of him can only show that Mo Mengchen has not exerted his full strength—maybe even this is not his full strength.

"Steal!"

"Dor.Mo steals Pau Gasol's pass!"

Mo Mengchen advanced like a swift dragon, and Kirilenko, who was on the outside, caught up and ran to the front, ready to defend.

When the two met each other, Mo Mengchen made a fake move about to shoot, which poked the Russian's sensitive point, and he jumped up.

Fake action!The Russian's eyes widened.

Mo Mengchen ran past Kirilenko, threw the ball to the basket, threw it and caught it, caught it in the air, and dunked it heavily.

96 is better than 70
"Is there any suspense?"

If there are still, it's okay.

The Spurs did not give up and continued to attack. This time, Hill once again emptied Arenas to double-team, but Mo Mengchen did not go to steal the ball.

They let Arenas open.

The Major General made a desperate three-pointer.

"boom!"

Strike iron in despair.

Ginobili quickly counterattacked, and Curry, who grabbed the defensive rebound, sent a long pass.

It was Kirilenko again, the ubiquitous defensive spider who made two rounds in a row.In the frontcourt, the demon knife was unsheathed, and the sharp edge flashed. The twisted to unpredictable Eurostep fouled the AK47 first, and then scored the ball.

"And one!"

"Is there any suspense?" Brin shouted in surprise.

His partner, Elliott, the famous Spurs, couldn't help saying: "No more."

The Spurs requested a timeout.

With 8 minutes left before the end of the game, Popovich replaced all other starters except David Robinson.

The reason for not changing Robinson is simple. The veteran who has played for San Antonio since 1989 needs to use the remaining 8 minutes to say goodbye to the fans.

As for the Pistons, they simply kept Ginobili, who still needs to be punished, and replaced the other main players.

The players who followed were John Salmons, Prince, Randolph and Patrick Ewing, who received applause from the audience.

Luo Er handed the towel to Mo Mengchen and said, "Mo, well played."

Mo Mengchen picked up the towel and wiped the sweat off his body.

He will not play again, and the Pistons will be crowned again, achieving the myth of five consecutive championships.

As for the situation on the court, this group seems to be very happy.

The Spurs passed Robinson on almost every possession, and he was free to handle the ball on every possession.

Just like Kobe's retirement game against the Jazz, he is completely free, and he can play as he wants.

As long as the ball is in his hands, the fans at the scene will give him the warmest cheers.

When Ewing met his old opponent, he didn't show mercy, and defended as he wanted.

When Robinson turned over for a jumper, he was fouled and knocked to the ground.

"Fans won't boo an old man like me." Ewing didn't even feel sorry for it.

"It seems that I can only avoid you as much as possible." Similar humility and gentleness accompanied the admiral's entire career.

When Jordan announced his comeback in 1995, Robinson, who had not been baptized by the big dream, once said: "I don't know why Jordan came back. He is a husband and has three children. He has proved everything, why come to prove it again What? We all know he’s the best player in the world, so why doesn’t he share his time with his family?”

This character, to some extent, determines his fate.

Young people run and play as much as they want, and veterans take the ball to attack.

Robinson keeps attacking with the ball at 45-degree angles on the left and right sides. This is his favorite offensive position. In his peak period, with his explosive power, he only needs to dribble the ball in these two positions.

No matter how they played, the point difference didn't change much.

The young people of the Pistons insist on keeping the point difference above 20 points, because since the start of the playoffs, they have not won a game with less than 20 points.

This unconventional record that will go down in history cannot be left in their hands.

30 seconds before the end, Ewing left a jump shot, facing Robinson, shook his shoulders, turned over, and shot the last bunny jump shot in the history of the two against David Robinson.

The board misses.

118 is better than 94
20 seconds left.

The audience clamored for the ball to be given to the Admiral.

It was impossible for the youngsters of the Spurs to refuse, passing the ball as soon as halftime passed.

With the crowd at SBC Arena chanting "Thank you, David," Robinson made the final shot of his career.

Also missed.

No one is fighting for the rebound because there are only 4 seconds left in the game.

4,

3,

2,

1.

Pistons players rushed to the field, and Ewing hugged Robinson nearby.

"Thank you, David," he said.

Time is like flowing water, no matter how beautiful a flower is, it will wither one day, but someone will always remember that you once bloomed brightly in the world.

Thank you, David.
