You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 519 The Best of Both Worlds
The regular season is over.

The Pistons defeated the Mavericks 124 to 113 in the closing game, won their 45th win of the season, and ended the regular season with the league's best record without any suspense.

This is the second consecutive season they have entered the playoffs with the best record.

Although the second-ranked Trail Blazers also scored 40 wins and 10 losses, they are still 5 games away from the Pistons.

Two 40-win teams stand at the apex of the East and West.

This year, the form of the East is very different from last year.

The King Bulls fell, the Pistons climbed to the top, and the Pacers, Celtics and Magic are below.

The playoffs in the East are made up like big-headed dolls, with a strong top four and a weak bottom four.

The No.5 Heat is the most difficult team among the last four teams in the Eastern Conference. They pay attention to confrontation and hope to test the opponent's will. Anyone who encounters them will lose a layer of skin.

No.6 Eagles, this is the fifth consecutive year they have reached the playoffs, no surprises, they have this strength, but they are not far away.

The No.7 Bucks, led by Sam Cassell, Ray Allen, and Glenn Robinson, were supposed to be a team with outstanding talents, but they didn’t work well, and they are currently winning a game in the Eastern Conference. The rhythm of losing a game is difficult to achieve in the playoffs.

No.8 Philadelphia 76ers.

They overwhelmed the Knicks, who should have been a legendary dark horse this year.

They ranked No.8, and the Knicks fell out of the playoffs.

You know, since 1987, the Knicks have always been among the strong teams in the playoffs. In the second half of the regular season this year, Ewing suffered a rib fracture and was reimbursed for the season. Aunt Johnson was alone, lacking an axis inside and no firepower outside. , old and brittle, which cost them a lot in the card battles in the second half of the season.

In the last few games of the regular season, Iverson scored 40 points in three consecutive games, single-handedly led Philadelphia back to the playoffs, and sent the Knicks home.

This change shocked New York up and down, and made them determined to change.

Sources say the Knicks have pressed the rebuild button.

Starting from Ewing, one is counted as one, and no one can not be traded. This powerful team has had enough of failures for a long time, and they need a rebuilding from the inside out.

76 people?

Looking at the first opponent in the playoffs, Mo Mengchen's heart did not fluctuate.

Hill missed the last game, and Pence failed to score high in the last two games. The scoring champion of this season was included in Hill's name.

Mo Mengchen's statistics are also good, averaging 18 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists per game. In terms of statistics, one guard in the league counts as one, and only Penny Hardaway can overwhelm him.

In terms of efficiency, only O'Neal is better than him.

Mo Mengchen's strength has always been a mystery, no one can tell how strong he is.

All you know is that he's more reliable than Hill when it comes to life and death, and that's been proven multiple times over the past four years.

Hill, who won the scoring title, was in a good mood and practiced leisurely, while Mo Mengchen practiced shooting.

No one took the 76ers seriously.

The funny thing is that before the start of the series, the local media in Philadelphia gave Iverson the task of averaging 40 points per game in the series.

It doesn't matter whether you win or not, you must fight with great momentum.

This makes Iverson very distressed. He always thinks that he does not play for statistics, and winning games is the key, but the Philadelphia media, who are pessimistic about the prospects of the playoffs, don't think so.

On the eve of the playoffs, Mo Mengchen used his 14 attribute points to perform a round of enhancements.

His defense switching ability, following ability, assisting defense ability, entanglement ability, and defensive pressure have all increased significantly, and the least one has increased by 10 attribute points.

This is a relatively normal rise.

Because this ability cannot be improved through attribute points, and the improvement of these abilities basically does not affect the overall evaluation.

Other attribute changes that are beneficial to improving ratings are distributed in shooting.

Open mid-range shots increased from 62 to 64;

The most significant improvement in mid-range shots from dribble stops, from 75 to 80;

Three-point shooting increased from 79 to 80;

Contested 73-pointers increased from 75 to [-];

The above is the improvement of Mo Mengchen's attributes through training in the past three months.

With 14 attribute points, which one should you focus on improving?

He looked at it, and there was no change. The current main attack direction is still mid-range shooting.

He didn't hesitate, aiming for a distracted mid-range jumper.

In last year's Eastern Conference finals, Jordan's last shot ended them with a mid-range shot.

No matter when, when the critical moment comes, the killer is CIC.

This skill is the most cold-blooded and the most difficult, but essential.

Mo Mengchen aimed at the disturbed mid-range jumper, with 14 attribute points, which can almost increase this attribute from 75 points to 84 points.

The accumulation of a season turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.

He made a decision in an instant, finished adding points, and closed the editing interface.

Then, his overall rating improved from 82 to 83.

Anyhow, the overall evaluation reflects obvious progress.

83 points, this overall rating is already better than most starters.

According to Mo Mengchen's understanding, an overall rating of 80 points is the starting line, and above 80 points can be regarded as an excellent starting player, and above 85 points can touch the threshold of an All-Star.

For a superstar like Hill, his overall rating should be above 90.

It is getting more and more difficult to improve the overall rating, and the demand for attribute points is increasing. Mo Mengchen doesn't know when he can raise the overall rating to 90. Fortunately, he is not in a hurry, just take his time.

At this time, Rashid came to Mo Mengchen with the ball in his arms and said loudly: "Mo, I challenge you with the will of everyone, and I will beat you on the three-point line!"

He spoke so loudly, as if to cheer himself up.

Mo Mengchen glanced at him coldly, "Are you courting death?"

Mo Mengchen's shooting skills are well known all over the world, and his teammates also know how difficult it is to challenge him.

From time to time, Rashid would come up for a challenge and always fail miserably.

Their three-point game turned into an acrobatic performance by Mo Mengchen at the three-point line.

Hit the board for three-pointers, freely switch between left and right hands for three-pointers, dribble and collect three-pointers with the crotch. Any tricks, as long as Mo Mengchen wants to do it, he can do it with perfect accuracy.

Boring training must be accompanied by such games, otherwise it would be too boring.

Today, Rashid still ended in a fiasco.

Then, the first round of the playoffs against the 76ers came.

Iverson came to Detroit with the hope of the whole city.

The 76ers once represented the alliance against the Zijin Army and the Green Kai in the 80s. They are the third dynasty outside the two major dynasties, led by Dr. J and Moses Malone.

Mo Mengchen always believed that it was an overrated team.

Now that time has passed and the people of those years have retired, the young Iverson turned into the rising sun of Philadelphia and came from afar to challenge the Pistons.

Tonight's battle can fully see the strength gap between the two sides.

For the 76ers, only Iverson could keep up with the rhythm, and everyone else played in a mess.

Mo Mengchen and Hill clocked out of get off work in three quarters, and the Pistons beat the 76ers by 28 points at home.

"Oh my god, this is the playoffs!"

"They still won so easily!"

"Aaron Iverson made 34 of 15 shots and scored 44 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Such data can be called the best in the game, if the scorer behind him is not too eye-catching."

At least, Iverson fulfilled some of the expectations of the Phillies.

He killed all sides in the game and scored the highest score in the game.

Mo Mengchen sat on the sidelines, very bored.

He played three quarters tonight, scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, a quasi triple-double, but he has no chance to turn it into a real triple-double, because this game has entered garbage time.

They all know that the 76ers are just a stumbling block that can be crushed with one foot.

This is not arrogance, it is a clear understanding of the strength of both parties.

You know, even Philadelphians think so.

No matter how much the Pistons wish their opponents were stronger, the Sixers can't be stronger.

Quickly strike them out and move on to the next round.This is the truest thought in the heart of Mo Mengchen and the rest of the Pistons.

Moreover, as the game ended, the real performance of the 76ers made them feel bored, and this thought hidden deep in their hearts gradually surfaced on their cheeks.

After the game, all of them had an excited expression of "Yes! It's finally over!"

Game1
In the opening game of the playoffs, the Pistons won the game and Iverson won the statistics. It can be described as the best of both worlds.

It is frustrating that the next two games will be such a script.

So, when a reporter asked Mo Mengchen what he thought of tonight's game, Mo Mengchen accidentally said the truth: "It's kind of boring."
