You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 368 I'm Just Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Young people are not lacking in fighting spirit, and they also have enough physical strength to fight to the end. To deal with the Timberwolves, it is not advisable to adopt a strategy of exhausting them.

To blow them up, you have to rely on a wave.

Otherwise, Garnett and Marbury will be hammered here and there, and they may be overturned in the end.

There was a bravery in Bobby Jackson that Mo Mengchen didn't have.To put it bluntly, it is brainless. If it is opened, it can cause a lot of trouble to the opponent, and if it is not opened, it will also become a burden for the team.

"He's strong offensively, but needs to find his teammates."

Hill said.

The second team of the Pistons is strong, not just Bobby Jackson alone, but everyone else has the ability to fight alone. This is the confidence for Frauses to make a large-scale rotation.

Tonight, the Timberwolves play a seven-man rotation, while the Pistons have already played twelve players. Except for Lauderdale, several water dispenser administrators including Dumars have gone up and slipped around.

With Mo Mengchen and Hill absent, this should have been a good opportunity for the Timberwolves to chase points, but it was a pity that Jackson fought Marbury for two rounds alone, and Barkley also found his touch on the outside.

Not only did the 6-point gap not narrow, but it widened to 9 points at the end of the third quarter.

"I probably should have been on the bench earlier." Frauses had a whim.

After playing 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves have not been able to narrow the point difference to less than 9 points.

Barkley was posting up for the ball, and he played 25 minutes tonight because only he can consume Garnett offensively.

Although Frause's rotation strategy is rigid, it is not static. When encountering a "must have him" moment, he will also let specific personnel play a few more minutes of the game.

Barkley crushed in with a weight of 121 kilograms.

His offense is suspected of hitting someone, and his elbow placement is not standardized.

The incident happened suddenly, and the referee couldn't distinguish clearly at the first time. The inside line is the most fierce confrontation position on the court. Expecting an absolutely clean confrontation in the penalty area?Impossible, these people can't wait to find ways to avoid the referee's eyes and do some dirty moves that are beneficial to themselves.

A player with an elbow like Barkley can almost be regarded as a clean slate, because he is within the referee's control.

After many insidious and dirty means, the referee didn't know what happened.

It's just that in this round, Barkley exerted a lot of force, and Garnett couldn't resist it and was knocked down.

The referee is still unresponsive.

Barkley jumped to the basket and wiped the board to score.

91 is better than 80
Frauses is ready to make another substitution, this time for the final adjustment.

Mo Mengchen, Hill and Pollard replaced Jackson, Reid and Barkley.

Abandoning melee inside and pursuing speed and counterattack. Although Pollard can't consume Garnett like Barkley, he is a qualified blue-collar tank. He also has a certain control surface at the basket. Grab an indirect rebound.

He averaged only 14 minutes per game, but ranked third on the team in indirect rebounds, higher than Wallace, who averaged 18 minutes per game.

After that, Barkley took the initiative to foul, and he was exhausted.

His average playing time per game has been reduced to 26 minutes, and tonight he has played 28 minutes. Under the running and bombing system, there are many rounds, and the inside needs to keep running back and forth to keep up with the big team. This is extremely difficult for Barkley. It's a daunting task. He doesn't have much strength until now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked a foul to overthrow Garnett just now. If he didn't do that, Garnett would definitely be able to block him at the end of his battle.

Either he was substituted for a foul, or he was connived by the referee to steal a point, either way he made money.

"It's up to you, hurry up and end this game!" Barkley said annoyedly.

The Timberwolves sent the ball out of bounds, and everyone was ready to run.

The intention of this tactic was too obvious. Mo Mengchen immediately targeted and blocked the passing position. Garnett couldn't serve the ball and was about to call a timeout to stop the loss when the referee blew his whistle.

"Illegal serve!"

"Fucking shit!" Garnett cursed rudely.

Of course he should have been rude, and they were trailing by double digits in the fourth quarter, and now they're throwing another play for nothing.

If the Pistons continue to score, it will become difficult for them.

They haven't experienced any big scenes yet. They reached the playoffs last season, and they just went through the "me, Minnesota Timberwolves to the first round" cutscene.

Hill sent the ball to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball past the logo, patted the ball with his left hand, raised his right hand, bent his thumb, and pointed his four fingers upwards.

Scalpel Tactic 4!
The scalpel series of tactics was specially designed by Mo Mengchen for the team. After three seasons, only four scalpel tactics were designed.

The characteristic of this tactic is that it is applicable to any system. If the Pistons do not run and bomb in the future, the scalpel tactic is still applicable.

Tactics that apply to any system are not easy, it needs to be quite varied, comprehensive enough to deal with any situation.

Tactic No. 4 has never been used in actual combat.

The starting style is Hill and Houston's high horn double pick-and-roll, and the two swingmen are responsible for the pick-and-roll, which dazzles everyone.

But when Mo Mengchen broke through, the Timberwolves' position was torn apart.

There are quite a few teams that can’t even handle the opening moves. The Timberwolves’ defensive system relies entirely on Garnett’s defense. His ability to switch defenses and follow up with smaller players gives him a unique advantage when defending pick-and-rolls , and this tactic does not require the inside to come out to pick and roll, he will wait in peace in the inside.

However, Mo Mengchen didn't just want to get 2 points.

2 points are too few, he wants 3 points.

So, driving to the deep end, even his opponents thought the shot had to be played, and no one noticed that Houston had quietly shifted to the left corner.

Who will let go of the chance to go up to the basket and let the teammate shoot a three-pointer?
Mo Mengchen will.

Before Garnett waited for Mo Mengchen's attack, he saw him pass the ball out.

"Shh!"

Houston hit a three-pointer with no defense, which shows that the Timberwolves not only did not defend well against breakthroughs, but also did not defend well against three-pointers.

Relying on these missed jumpers tonight, Houston scored 22 points.

94 is better than 80
The commentator at the scene looked at the time and said regretfully: "There is not much time left for the Timberwolves. The next few attacks will determine whether they can maintain the suspense to the end."

Because as long as they fail to make a shot, the Pistons will let them know how terrible the counterattack of the running and bombing team is.

In this era where the average scoring is only 100 points or even less than 100 points per game, the Pistons can average 121 points per game. It is a bit offensive to say that the number of 121 is terrible.

"The biggest difference between Detroit and the run-and-gun team is that they pursue offense without giving up defense."

"The idea of ​​running and bombing is one point to defend and nine points to attack, but they are five points to defend and five points to attack. I was thinking, if they give up defense and go all out to attack like the Nuggets a few years ago, can they average 130 points per game? "

This terrible idea diverted the attention of fans, and even Garnett's shot was hardly noticed.

130 points per game?Not impossible, these lunatics!
Four seconds after Garnett hit the iron, Mo Mengchen received a long pass from behind and scored a layup.

97 is better than 81
A 16-point margin, and if that wasn't enough to make their opponents desperate, they'll keep attacking until they give up.

The bigger the point difference, the stronger the oppression. Garnett's current pressure is not there in the first three quarters.

Before, they had no risk of losing and no pressure to attack. If they messed up, they would screw up and come back in the next round. But now the offense of each round is related to the outcome, and the outcome is in their own hands.

"boom!"

They are not ready to take on this responsibility.

Mo Mengchen grabbed the defensive rebound and pushed for a fast break.

It was another scalp-numbing four-second counterattack, and Houston scored his 26th point.

99 is better than 81
With 7 minutes left, the collapse of the Timberwolves is not unexpected. They have no experience of fighting against a strong team like the Pistons until the end.

Following Marbury's self-destructive three-pointer in the frontcourt, Mo Mengchen took a rebound, dribbled the ball behind his back and flew the former before reaching the three-point line and chasing a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"There are six minutes left, but the game is over."

102 is better than 81
The Timberwolves requested a timeout, and Frauses replaced the full bench.

Mo Mengchen scored a large triple-double with 16 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists, and sat quietly on the sidelines drinking the Gatorade drink prepared by Anne Sorvino.

On the Timberwolves side, Garnett and Marbury covered their heads with towels.

"It's so cruel. They resisted for three full quarters, and they were blown up in 2 minutes."

"In 2 minutes, the 11-point difference turned into 21 points. Dor.Mo personally killed the suspense of the game. Now he is sitting on the bench drinking Gatorade. Maybe Gatorade will invite him soon. Spokesperson, because this guy sits there drinking Gatorade one too many times."

Falun Foster looked at Mo Mengchen's playing time tonight.

Scoring 26+16+14 in 15 minutes, the efficiency is terribly high.

"If this continues, Ethan's average playing time will fall below 30 minutes." Foster didn't know whether he was surprised or felt that he played too little.

Frauses asked with a smile, "Isn't that good?"

"Unbelievable!" Foster was able to stay in the Pistons for such a long time for no reason at all, and he had to lick it vigorously when it was time to lick, "Adam, you have brought out an incredible team."

"No," Frouseth said modestly, his eyes fell on Mo Mengchen, Hill, Houston and others, "I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants to point out the direction."

After 6 minutes of garbage time, Lauderdale finally played.

他在6分钟内狂砍8分4篮板2封盖5犯规，刷得不亦乐乎。

The game also came to an end in a more harmonious atmosphere.
