You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 377 They Are Tougher

In the second half, Pippen wanted to continue his relationship with Hill and made another three-pointer.

At such a juncture, it seems irresponsible for him to make such a shot. After all, he is not a high-quality shooter, and the three-pointer hits the front of the basket and pops out.

Mo Mengchen turned around to accept the rebound, jumped slightly, dodged Harper who was about to foul, and attacked forward with the ball.

Hill was running as fast as him, and he was waiting for Mo Mengchen's pass.

When the time came, Mo Mengchen shot the ball, and Hill dunked the ball.

61 is better than 68
Hill, who is in a good mood, is one of the top three forwards in the league. There is no doubt about it. In front of him, Pippen recklessly wants to continue to attack.

If he wants to prove that he is better than Hill, it is not enough to rely on the first half, and he must suppress the opponent to death in the second half.

Hill is not a fool who can fight and suffer. He mainly defends Pippen's breakthrough and forces him to make a jumper.

Also a point forward, Pippen doesn't have the same starting speed as Hill. His breakthrough depends on his height, arm length and subsequent strides.

Hill didn't give him room to start, and he couldn't help it.

Pippen, who was in a hurry, made another three-pointer.

"Hillbilly, are you fucking crazy?" Jordan cursed.

Thanks to Rodman, the confrontation with Jerome Williams had the upper hand. Although he couldn't get the ball, he grasped the situation and pushed the ball to Jordan behind him.

If you really can't control the rebounds, this is the safest solution.

Unexpectedly, Jordan didn't even make a shot, and he was still passing the ball from such a short distance.

In the short-range internal pass, Rodman didn't make a shot. He pretended to make a shot, but passed Pippen in the air.

After his teammates had a show, Batman also woke up. He jumped up, attracted Hill to the front, and then passed the ball from the air to Jordan who cut inside.

The Bulls teased the Pistons with a few passes back and forth, and Jordan's dunk ended the game.

70 is better than 61
Hill settled down, turned his back to Pipen, and received a pass from Mo Mengchen.

"Come on, Duke, if you dare to hit you!" Pippen taunted wildly behind him.

Pippen is an underestimated trash talker. Maybe it’s because he was with Jordan all day long. Although he doesn’t talk a lot of trash, every sentence is very harsh. The sentence against Malone in the finals last year, "The postman is not good at weekends. "Go to work" has become a classic, and Hill was provoked by him again and again tonight.

It's a pity that the current Devil Mountain has completely entered its own domain, and can't listen to any trash talk.

With his back in and hard top, he found Williams' quick cut back, which was his opportunity.

"Beware of Jerome Williams!"

The reminder from the savior's eager commentator is not as good as Hill's passing speed, and Pippen's low-post defense is impeccable. If the problem can be solved with passing, Devil Mountain is not willing to confront head-on.

Williams got the ball at the basket, jumped up with all his strength, and showed a nasty two-handed back dunk in the Bulls' penalty area.

The moment the ball was dunked into the basket, Williams pulled his body, kicked his feet, and did his best to provoke the Bulls.

"%*! You old cripples can't guard against me at all!" Williams cursed in a rough voice.

Then, the two sides struck iron back and forth.

The first good iron came from Jordan. Strictly speaking, it was not an iron strike. It was his breakthrough that hit Ben Wallace's cap, and the ball hit the backboard.

Mo Mengchen launched a counterattack. At first he thought it would be an easy counterattack. The speed of the old men's pursuit was far beyond imagination. Jordan, who was hated, wanted to find his place on Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen jumped up for a layup, and Jordan blocked the shot from behind.

This is the crushing of athletic talent. The 35-year-old Jordan's athletic ability completely surpassed the 25-year-old Mo Mengchen, and he hit the latter's ball out of bounds.

"It's not that easy to score, you bloody Aussie better remember that!"

The flying man roared.

From now on, scoring is not so easy for both sides, and the intensity of the defense has begun to rise, turning a regular season into the strongest confrontation at the playoff level.

For 3 minutes, the two sides played tricks, and there were opportunities. They didn't defend each other to death, and some people got vacant seats.

But this atmosphere is suffocating. Even if you are in an open position, the air around you becomes a defender. If the shooter has a heavy burden on his body, every shot will have a frowning stiffness.

In the 4th minute, Hill's explosive first step broke Pippen's defense and rushed to the basket against Rodman, who had made great contributions to the team's two championships in team history, causing his foul.

"Damn it, next time you rush over like this, I'll kill you son of a bitch!" Rodman yelled angrily and regretfully.

"You won't, Dennis." Hill laughed.

Rodman scolded: "You fucking think I'm your friend? Put away your disgusting smile!"

"I'm sorry if this made you uncomfortable." But I just had to smile.

Hill went to the free throw line with a smile and made one of two free throws.

Although only one point was scored, the scoring drought of more than three minutes was broken, and the suffocating defensive meat grinder battle seemed to have passed.

This is the unspoken rule of the basketball game. It is common for both sides to have offensive power failures. Once someone breaks the deadlock, it will not only break the deadlock of the team, but also the deadlock of the opponent.

For two teams of similar level, it is very difficult to have a situation where I can score and you can't, and thus waste time.

The next turn after Hill fouled, Jordan slid through the crowd for a layup.

The scoring drought was over.

In the last attack of the third quarter, Mo Mengchen held the ball alone at the top of the arc.

He wants to single out?

Once this question arises, there will be problems with the Bulls' defense.

Everyone who watched this game felt that Mo Mengchen was going to fight one-on-one, including his teammates except Hill.

Only Hill could understand Mo Mengchen's hint. He pointed to the sky, but it didn't mean that he would run out of time. What he meant was: run to the basket!

Hill is waiting, he just needs to wait, because Mo Mengchen will call a pick and roll to let the Bulls further strengthen their defense against him.

In order to defend the pick-and-roll, the insiders will go outside to delay, and the open penalty area is an opportunity for him to show his skills.

coming!

Seeing no one under the basket, Hill jerked away from Pippen.

Batman felt that something was wrong, but he was powerless to stop it. Mo Mengchen turned his back to the crowd and threw the ball into the sky with one hand.

The devil flew into the sky, catching the ball with both hands, and his strong body was like a big bow that was drawn, and he smashed it down with all his strength.

Only 0.4 four seconds left in the third quarter.

That's enough time for Fisher to kill the Spurs, but not enough time for the Bulls to send the ball out and execute a quality shot.

The third quarter is over.

89 is better than 84
The Bulls led by only 5 points, and the Pistons still had kickoffs at the start of the fourth quarter.

"The next game is hard to say."

"Presumably the Bulls have also confirmed that standing opposite them is the strongest opponent on the road to defending the title."

"If they want to climb to the top again, they have to climb over this young mountain!"

Over the mountains?

What are you kidding?
Jordan sneered, they won five championships in this era, they are the undisputed kings of this era, but now they want to climb this young mountain.

"No, no." Jordan pointed straight ahead, "Let them come, they want to prove how great they are, they must beat us first, they can't do it, they can't!"

To achieve greatness, you must first defeat greatness.

Mo Mengchen and Hill fought hard in the last quarter. Their fighting spirit was extremely tenacious. If they played like this from the beginning, the Bulls would feel very sad.

The 20-point hole in the first half has not been filled up to now, and they have to continue to work hard for that mistake.

Hill continued to take over the offense, but the offensive efficiency was not very high.

His shooting has no touch, not only the three-pointer, but also the mid-range, which makes him only hit the basket again and again.

Rodman said that he was going to be abolished. This sentence was mostly shocking, but he hit the basket so frequently, and Rodman could only commit violent fouls in order to stop him.

Finally, Hill was knocked down by Rodman in the air, but fortunately there was no serious problem.

But will Lady Luck be by his side again and again?
"You won't be so lucky next time," Rodman said grimly.

Falling from the sky, Hill thought of the possibility of injury, the season is coming to an end, he can't allow himself to be injured again, and he can't sit on the sidelines in the playoffs like last year.

He stopped the offense, and the Bulls didn't.

Someone needs to score.

Mo Mengchen, who seemed exhausted, stepped forward. In the last 5 minutes, he scored again and again, trying to close the gap.

"boom!"

His hit rate dropped due to his lack of physical fitness. They should have run out of energy, but at this moment, these old heads launched a desperate counterattack vigorously as if the game had just started.

From the second quarter to the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Pistons supported the audience.

In the last 3 minutes, they collapsed.

Mo Mengchen was exhausted, Hill was intimidated by Rodman, and Houston let Jordan blast from head to tail.

The three Pistons who had problems at the same time made the team lose all opportunities.

The last match against the Bulls in the regular season was also the first time against a full-body Bulls this season. The Pistons collapsed in the last 3 minutes and lost to their opponents, losing the No. 15 game of the season.

"Chicago showed more tenacity than us." Mo Mengchen panted heavily. He scored a new career high tonight, scoring 39 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Such statistics should have brought the Bulls their third loss, but he lost.

Like Hill, he put up the best numbers in his career and lost games.

His stats will only add color to the Bulls' victory, let alone Jordan's 48 points and 10 rebounds, which are enough to overwhelm him.

"There are a lot of games left in the regular season, and we don't have time to be depressed."

After leaving these words, Mo Mengchen turned and entered the player channel.

The fans at the scene celebrated happily.

"Letting a team like the Bulls lead by 20 points is really tough."

The narrator commented.

"As good as Detroit's chase was, the game was over in the second quarter."

Afterwards, the cannon rang loudly.
