You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 330

In mid-December, the Pistons played a brutal 128-90 against the Charlotte Hornets, one of the strong teams in the Eastern Conference.

This night, all 13 players on the Pistons' activation list appeared on the stage, and Mo Mengchen and Hill got off work after playing for 27 minutes.

即使是这样，希尔依然轻松地砍下18分13篮板10助攻的三双，莫蒙尘也砍下15分11篮板8助攻的准三双。

There is also a statistic that is extremely weird, that is, the combined defensive rebounds of Barkley, Ratliff, Wallace, Williams, Lauderdale, etc. are only 8, of which Barkley alone has five.

"I want to praise my teammates. We had a total of 21 indirect rebounds tonight, 17 of which were created inside. They are the most unselfish teammates in the world."

Hill took the initiative to propose the concept of indirect rebounds to the outside world.

"What is an indirect rebound?" The reporter asked.

Hill said lightly: "Using one's own body to block positions and help others get rebounds are indirect rebounds. This may be a statistic created by us, but I think this statistic has epoch-making significance. "

After this data was presented, the mainstream view did not agree.

Among them, several old-school players who have retired, such as kangaroo boy Billy Cunningham: "In my era, if a guard dared to grab rebounds with the inside, he would definitely get an elbow. We don't care who you are !"

Including Chamberlain, the most unique player in the past and present, also expressed his point of view: "I can't understand the current basketball more and more. Don't you need rebounds on the inside? He also helps the outside line to block, so that they can easily pick us up. Rebounding? How proud are these guys? Are they playing basketball?"

"If it's for victory, all sacrifices are worth it, as long as you can win."

Bill Russell, who can almost be nicknamed the winner, also commented on the matter.

"Indirect rebounds? I heard that in the Pistons, the person with the most indirect rebounds will get a bonus? My God, this is not basketball anymore, this is a shameless sport launched by the Pistons to make stars! Yes, they Of course you can do this, Dor.Mo and Grant Hill can get a lot of triple-doubles, and it is not impossible to even replicate the average triple-double of the big O, but what does that mean? They can compete with the great big Is O shoulder to shoulder? It's ridiculous!" ESPN columnist Thomas Sares wrote an extremely fierce criticism on the Internet.

For a while, public opinion was very unfriendly to the Pistons.

So much so that Hill was shaken.

"Swiping data? I swiping data? I firmly deny this point of view!" Hill yelled.

Mo Mengchen practiced shooting on a remote field, even here he could hear Hill's cry.

He is practicing shooting, and it is not a spot-up shot, but a three-point shot with a catch and a step.

Priest Lauderdale was helping him pass the ball.

"Dapu, what's your opinion on this matter?" Mo Mengchen asked.

All Lauderdale knows is that he's now averaging 2 indirect rebounds per game and can at least keep a fifth-place pick.

Of the six insiders in the team, only Barkley does not need indirect rebounds. One is because he is not short of money, and the other is because his long pass allows him to find his frontcourt teammates after rebounding.

"Many years ago, there were no 24-second offense violations in basketball games. At that time, everyone was playing ugly basketball. If someone told them that in the future of basketball, each offensive round is only 24 seconds, what would they think?" Lauder Dyer has a stern face, but what he said is very reasonable, "I think those people will criticize the basketball game in the era of 24-second offense just like people criticize us today."

Mo Mengchen is not yet arrogant enough to compare the tactic of picking up rebounds from the inside to the outside with the epoch-making rule of 24-second offense. Without this rule, basketball may have died.

That's one rule that saves basketball.

The inside line is stuck, and the outside line picks up rebounds. To put it bluntly, it is to allow the ball holder to advance quickly.

If there are more passers in the team, this problem will not exist.

The criticism from the outside may not be unreasonable, because once this strategy is overused, it will evolve into a golden rule of data brushing. Some guys who have no ability to pass at all will let the inside line get stuck in the name of speeding up the pace and pick up rebounds easily by themselves. , Can average a triple-double casually to pay tribute to the big O.

Mo Mengchen doesn't want to make this tactic a normal one. The reason they are playing this way is that these insiders are reckless. Barkley has fine work in his hands, but on the defensive end, his defense power is not as powerful as Ratliff and others , Naturally, it must be extended to the outside, so there is a high probability that the defensive rebound will fall into the hands of Ratliff and others.

This is a last resort.

Mo Mengchen continued to practice shooting, and Lauderdale worked as a caddy without complaint.

With so many insiders in the team, Lauderdale is the one with the least status. Everyone else has the opportunity to play in regular time, but he is a garbage time symbol that means the game is over.

The Pistons ran and bombed, which didn't match his block at all.

The embarrassing thing is that with his ability, even if he doesn't fight and run, he won't get much playing time.

But Mo Mengchen repeatedly asked Osgers to keep Lauderdale.

He does not have the ability to turn waste into treasure, and it is impossible for Lauderdale to become a super center, but he has the foresight as a traverser.

The era of OK is coming, and that will undoubtedly be their biggest opponent in the future.

In the face of O'Neill, do you expect Big Ben or Ratliff to be a meat shield?Of course not, they need someone with height, tonnage and strength to compete with O'Neill.

Lauderdale, who is currently 155 kg, is very suitable.

"Da Pu, has any European team invited you?" Mo Mengchen asked.

Lauderdale did not deny: "Yes, and the wages are not low."

"Why not?" If Lauderdale wants to leave, the team will never keep him. He is already a dispensable player.

Lauderdale said proudly: "I have a higher pursuit."

"Haven't you thought about changing to a team that can compete?" Mo Mengchen asked casually.

"Dad, am I going to be traded?" Lauderdale was surprised.

Mo Mengchen calmly relieved his nervousness: "I just asked casually, you have no quotations at all, don't worry."

Hearing this, Lauderdale didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Because I have pursuits." Lauderdale said.

I believe.

Because if he has no pursuit, he should go to the CBA and become the enemy of Yao Huang and Wang Zhizhi. By the way, let the two most talented stars of tomorrow in China see what an NBA-level insider is like.

In terms of ability, Lauderdale is at the level of a drinking fountain in the NBA, but his size and position are destined to have devastating dominance in low-level leagues.

With a height of 224 cm and a weight of 155 kg, who can stop the CBA of this era?

The Pistons' winning streak continued.

They went on a winning streak from the beginning of December to the middle of December.

The Heat gave them their third defeat of the season.

But their record is still strong enough to ignore the pursuers behind them.

22 wins and 3 losses.

"We lost, if you want to laugh at it, just laugh at it, the selfish team, the brush team finally lost."

Mo Mengchen took advantage of the loss to mock the commentators and legendary players who kept attacking them.

"You only scored 92 points tonight, which is far below your average level this season. What is the reason?"

"For obvious reasons, the curse of the critics was fulfilled," Mo Mengchen joked. "I believe they prayed every time we shot: don't go in, don't go in."

The laughter gradually increased.

Even though he lost, Mo Mengchen was not affected.

"This defeat is not surprising, the season is long, we have to lose some games, we gave up struggling early tonight"

Actually they only lost by 1 point.

But Mo Mengchen's humor still impressed the reporters.

They have one game left before Christmas.

The opponent is the Orlando Magic. The Magic team led by Penny Hardaway and this year's No. [-] pick, known as Bird II's Van Horn, has been stumbling since the start of the season.

便士场均砍下27分7篮板吗6助攻，范霍恩也是水准以上的19分5篮板3助攻，但魔术总是赢一场输一场。

They're not even guaranteed a playoff run.

But Penny is still very young, he is only 26 years old, and he still has a lot of room for growth, but last season the team hid his injury from him for the sake of the record, which almost caused him to be seriously injured, and a deep crack appeared in the relationship between the two parties.

If they can win, this is naturally not a problem. Now they can't even guarantee the playoffs, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference, and they are about to dive into the lottery zone again. How can Penny bear it?

Before renewing their lead with the Pistons, the Magic lost to the Lakers led by O'Neal on the road.

Seeing that his former partner is popular and hot in another team, and looking up, they are all star-level teammates, one can imagine the mood of Penny.

At that time, the Magic even made things difficult for O'Neill when renewing the contract for him. They tried their best and finally succeeded in forcing the Sharks to Los Angeles. It's getting more intense.

Thinking about the next summer, Penny will become a completely unrestricted free agent, and the Magic's management must feel a pain in the ass.

The safest way is to reach a contract extension with Penny during the season, otherwise if Penny enters the free market
Mo Mengchen was a participant in the falling out between Pence and the Magic. He informed Pence of his injury and persuaded him to give up last season's game, and the Magic also got the second overall pick.

The thorn that survived to this day finally exerted its terrifying power.

However, Mo Mengchen didn't care about the situation of Magic and Penny. He only knew that after tonight's match, regardless of victory or defeat, his attribute points would reach 20.

Thinking of this, he was in a good mood. When he saw Penny with a frowning face, he smiled so much that the other party thought he was gloating.

"Long time no see, how are you doing?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.

You are definitely kidding me!
Penshi glared at him angrily, ignored Mo Mengchen, and took Hill's hand.

Mo Mengchen didn't have time to think about anything, he just held Van Horn's hand in an instant, which prevented the matter from turning into the most embarrassing situation.

Hill said sarcastically: "Aren't you friends? Why doesn't he shake hands with you?"

"roll!"
