You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 459 Bloodbath Chicago
84 is better than 20
"If I was a Bulls fan and I missed the first half of the game because of something, I finally came home and I was going to watch the game live tonight, and I saw this score, and I would think: You are kidding me, today is another day. It's not April Fool's Day!"

"Being behind by 64 points at halftime, the Pistons broke the largest halftime point difference in NBA history created by the Warriors against the Kings in 1991. At that time, the Warriors led the Kings by 47 points at halftime. This record has been sealed for 8 years. Now the Pistons have improved it by 17 points points. I believe that this record will remain here for many years to come, and it will inspire every Bulls player like a chill."

"Yeah, they got massacred on awards night at home by their losers from last season."

It should have been a happy night, because of the brutal slaughter of the Pistons, many Bulls fans chose to leave early.

This has nothing to do with beliefs. No one believes that a team can come back from a 64-point deficit. How slack must it be to be beaten by 64 points at halftime by the opponent on such an important occasion?
An easy-to-understand reason, unless you think that there are teams that can fill in the endless hole of 64 points.

Otherwise why stay and watch a game that must be lost?
Unless you love the team to the core.

Otherwise, every second of this game is suffering.

Many Bulls fans are still unwilling to believe that the Bulls that ruled the 90s are about to become a bad team that has been massacred by countless teams.

The blood debt left by Jordan will be borne by these young people who have never enjoyed glory.

Tonight's game is just the beginning.

Away Team Half Time Lounge

"Very good guys, I like what you guys did in the first half, it will make your opponents ashamed." Westphal won't say anything about being human, let's let them go Such bullshit.

Jordan's Bulls were the team that personally cut off his championship dream.

Now his team will give the Bulls a permanent scar like a slave's mark on flesh, and he could only wish for it.

"Mo, our offense can be more unrestrained!"

"Grant, I haven't seen enough of your three-pointers!"

"Rashid, I hope you can completely defend the Croats in the second half."

Westphal looked at everyone, he smiled, but it made people feel cold: "To be honest, I don't think that a 64-point lead can be revenged. Guys, who is standing in front of you?"

"It's the bull, the bull who has been quarreling with you since the 80s! The bull who has been defeated by you countless times and finally reached the top of the league! It is the deadly enemy who has blocked your further progress in the past two years. It is the bull who stepped on your corpse to create Enemies of the Immortal Dynasty - I don't think a halftime lead of 64 points is enough, it's not enough!"

Westphal's instruction set the tone for the second half.

"Who actually said that our coach is a good person?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile, "Have you ever seen such a good person who is so frustrating and throws ashes?"

Barkley smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't say he was the kind of good guy with a good personality."

Everyone laughed.

In the second half, the Pistons started Mo Mengchen, Hill, Houston, Pollard and Rasheed.

Although Westphal said he wanted to make the Bulls lose even worse, he made adjustments to the lineup.

Pollard's height has an advantage over Big Ben, and Westphal also wants to see how sparks develop between Rasheed and the other big men.

In the second half, the Bulls' shooting percentage improved compared to the first half.

The Pistons would love to beat the underdogs, but forcing opponents into desperate [-]-pointers like they did in the first half is not the norm.

Kukoc received the military order and showed off his Croatian dance steps in front of Rashid. He was called a European magician at the beginning, and the Zen master said that he had a creative left hand.

At this moment, with a feint, he shook away the roaring Tianzun's defense, and scored a layup with a cross step.

22 is better than 84
"After some hard work, Toni Kukoc narrowed the gap to 62 points."

When Ernie Johnson said these words, he seemed to hear countless people mocking him.

He explained it solemnly, but what he said was an extremely absurd statement.

Then, Rashid thought about hitting back from the Croat.

He roared in a rough and loud voice, ran to the perimeter to help Mo Mengchen make a comfortable pick-and-roll, turned around and opened it, and settled outside the three-point line.

This is the most comfortable point of the Pistons' offensive system for Rasheed.

In this era when the insiders who only shoot from the outside are soft guys, he has advanced insight into the game. He has practiced three-pointers as early as in college. After entering the NBA, he is not afraid to show this advantage to others.

The strange thing is that no one has put the title of softie on his head.

Maybe it's because he has a wild face, or maybe it's just the way he plays.

Aside from shooting the [-], Rasheed's game is no different than the contemporary interior.

On the right side of the three-point line, the basketball was comfortably passed to Rasheed's hands. He lifted the ball excitedly, shot with a straight arm in his signature, and flew out a three-pointer.

Swish!
87 is better than 22
"Shoot these bastards!" Rasheed spat out rude trash talk, saliva flying out of his mouth.

Mo Mengchen ran to him and said, "Force the Croats to the right."

"Understood!" Rasheed exclaimed.

Kukoc is still the only reassuring offensive point on the Bulls. He is indeed very talented. He is [-] feet [-] inches tall and can attack like a forward. It is not an exaggeration to call him a European magician, a Zen master with far-sighted vision I have already seen the talents and hidden dangers in him.

As the sixth man, Kukoc will be a headache for each team, but as the main force and even the core, not to mention whether he is capable enough, his body cannot withstand his killing all directions in a league of this level in the NBA.

Rashid is a top single defender, and he will not make the same mistake a second time.

Kukoc found it difficult to go left and was forced to the right. Pollard stepped out of the basket immediately, and his solid body firmly pressed Kukoc.

"Fall the ball!"

Ernie Johnson gave a cry.

I saw Mo Mengchen retreating to the basket like thunder, grabbing the rebound fiercely like Westbrook.

What's funny is that Pollard had a chance to get the rebound, but he saw Mo Mengchen, so he waved his arms in the air in a panic, lest he delay Mo Mengchen from grabbing the rebound, which would prevent the team from making a quick counterattack .

This spiritual dodge in the air has added an indirect rebound to his income-this season, the Pistons still retain the reward for indirect rebounds.

Mo Mengchen, who got the rebound, quickly passed the ball to Houston, but unfortunately the guy didn't pay attention and was fouled by Hubble.

"Don't explain, explaining is covering up."

Mo Mengchen didn't give him a chance, and blocked Houston's possibility of making excuses with one sentence.

Houston pursed his lips gloomily, as if he was really wronged.

The Pistons' offense is very strong, and the intensity they brought has exceeded the Bulls' tolerance.

After an eight-month offseason, the Bulls changed flags, and the Pistons went one step further than last season.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Pistons led by 70 points.

The score at that time was 101 to 31.

Although Westphal really wanted to kill this group of people, but at this point, it was almost time to replace some of the main players.

He replaced Mo Mengchen first.

Mo Mengchen played 23 minutes tonight and efficiently scored 14 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. From the 7th minute of the third quarter, he became a spectator on the sidelines.

Westphal intends to train newcomers.

Rasheed stayed on the court to cooperate with the old players, and Lewis, Davis and Brad Miller played one after another.

Davis showed his true nature tonight.

He scored 16 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists in 3 minutes of playing time tonight.

"Alan, your reputation as the king of Detroit is at risk." Mo Mengchen joked.

Houston vowed: "If the coach lets me play now, I promise to let you see what is the real brush!"

Those who know know that he is discussing how to brush data efficiently, and those who don't know think he is talking about something great and upright.

In the last 5 minutes, Lauderdale came on to end the game.

Being a native of Chicago means a lot to him at the United Center.

When he played, the Bulls trailed the Pistons by 60 points, 139 to 79.

In front of his hometown crowd, Lauderdale scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks and 5 fouls to end the game.

The final score: 146 to 72, the Pistons bloodbathed the Bulls by 74 points in the opener away game, creating an unprecedented single-game loss record.
