You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 523 Penny Law
"Rookie, I will mercifully blow you up."

Ricky Davis heard Hardaway's words clearly, and being able to match up with such a superstar shows that the coach trusts him.

He doesn't want to live up to the coach's trust, especially in a competitive team like the Pistons, he dare not slack off for a moment.

"Remember the arrangement before the game?"

Mo Mengchen walked towards him and said.

"Remember." Davis replied like a machine, "If Penny breaks through smoothly, he will choose to make a quick stop jump shot or pass, and the chance of rushing to the basket for a layup is extremely low; Go to the basket and decide to pass or layup, and the probability of jump shots is extremely low."

Mo Mengchen asked: "So what should you do?"

While speaking, Hill had already received the pass from Pollard.

Davis said: "The jump shot is more energy-saving, and he feels very good now, so I want to force him to break through with his left hand."

"But you can't do that easily." Mo Mengchen and Davis ran across the half court together.

Sometimes we need to go to extremes.

If the normal method can't prevent it, then use the abnormal method.

If it was Mo Mengchen, he would directly empty Hardaway's left side and cover his right side with his body, forcing Hardaway to make a choice.

He will not directly tell Davis what to do, everyone has their own game plan.

When Mo Mengchen was troubled by Davis' defense, Hill smashed the defense with one step, confronted Isaac Austin in the air, and hit a backhand layup.

39 is better than 31
On the right, Davis and Penny one-on-one.

Mo Mengchen tried to shrink the space, but Armstrong saw his purpose and stood still. At this time, the attacker has the initiative.

Davis did not adopt the extreme plan of defending one side and putting the other side aside. He chose to avoid the most important and focus on Hardaway's right hand, while sending a signal to give up defending the left hand.

This is a trap.

Experienced players can see it, let alone Hardaway.

"I admire your courage, so I want to give you mercy." Penny patted the ball lightly, and as Davis wished, he broke through with the ball on the weak side.

It was so fast that he couldn't keep up.

The rest is all up to the insiders.

It's not that Pence doesn't know how many difficulties he will encounter along the way, he just wants to use this kind of attack to tell his opponent that no matter what he does, it won't work.

"Beep!"

Foul by Jerome Williams.

When he fouled, Hardaway pulled the bar in the air and picked the ball into the basket.

"Heroic shot, Penny is invincible!"

Immediately hit a free throw.

34 is better than 39
"Whether he is invincible or not is hard to say." Mo Mengchen said slowly, "Unless you can be sure that he alone scored better than the five of us."

Armstrong trusts Pence unconditionally: "He just can!"

Mo Mengchen sneered, and suddenly picked up speed. Armstrong's eyes widened at this command, and he was instantly broken through.

The moment Mo Mengchen exploded from the perimeter, Hill cut in, entered from a blind spot, and cut in from another blind spot. There was chaos in the Magic but they didn't know how to defend at all.

Seeing Mo Mengchen break through, they only wanted to use fouls to stop him, but Hill easily ran to the basket, Mo Mengchen avoided the foul, passed the ball in, and assisted Devil Mountain to score easily.

41 is better than 34
"Ricky, be as defensive as before." Mo Mengchen ordered.

Davis shouted yes.

Three years ago, the gap between the Pistons and the Magic was unimaginable.

But they still had five bloody battles with the Magic, which is different now.

The original Magic team now only has Penny, Anderson, and Grant, and everyone else has left the team, and the same is true for the Pistons, but the players they added are much stronger than before, Mo Mengchen and Hill are also stronger than three years ago a lot.

Penny made another breakthrough, this time he failed to succeed, Williams fouled violently, interrupting his attack halfway.

"I still have three fouls to play with you!"

Williams growled.

Penny felt a burning pain in his arm, and Davis said behind him: "You like mercy, I don't. Sorry, I want to brutally end you, that's what daddy means."

Penny glared fiercely at this rookie who dared to challenge him. At the same time, there was a person standing behind him——Dor.Mo, he was laughing!

Daly watched from the sidelines for a long time, and Penny needed help. He was very strong alone, but he couldn't play one-on-five.

What the Magic lack most is someone who can help him share the pressure.

Only 2 minutes had passed, but Pence had consumed half a quarter of his energy.

Daly had no choice but to call Van Horn, Anderson and Grant to the sidelines and replace them when the dead ball came.

And Penny turned on the offensive mode again.

This time he broke from the right side, and when he strode past Davis, the latter looked horrified, as if he had seen the most terrible thing in the world.

Then he thought about fouling.

He still has five fouls available.

I only hate that the shot is too slow. Hardaway’s speed is so fast that he can’t even make a foul. The Pistons’ defense at the basket makes Penny have no shot angle. Akira knelt in Paul's position, turned back and hit.

36 is better than 41
Hill stood beside Mo Mengchen and said, "He is very strong."

"Do you need to say it?" Mo Mengchen looked at Hill as if he cared for a mentally handicapped child.

"But I'm still the scoring leader." Hill said stubbornly.

How did you get the scoring champion? Did you have no points in your heart?

Mo Mengchen shook his head, not wanting to hit Hill at this time.

But Hill could feel the emotions he didn't express, and he was very shocked. He ran to the frontcourt and wanted the ball back.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball, and he believed in Hill's offense.

But his offense is no match for Hardaway.

Although he is the scoring leader, Hardaway's scoring average is only 0.4 points less than him, and the environment of the two teams is different.

The Pistons are averaging 128 points per game and the Magic are averaging 90 points per game.

Penny scored a third of the team's points, while Hill scored less than a quarter of the team's points.

Although they all scored points, the pressure and difficulty of each point were different. Therefore, Mo Mengchen thought that Penny's offense was stronger than that of Devil Mountain.

But Devil's Mountain has other strengths, too.

The person facing Hill right now is Matt Harprin, a white guard with tough defense. Although he is a rookie, he is appreciated by Daly. He has the tough style of an old-school player. It fully shows that compared with talent, things like style and defensive will are worthless.

Hill passed Harpring and stepped to the free throw line for a pull-up jumper that no one could block.

43 is better than 36
"Ricky, bring him to Grant!" Mo Mengchen shouted.

Because this time it was Armstrong who dribbled the ball across the half, Davis' defense had more room to maneuver, such as limiting Hardaway's receiving position.

It can be done.

As long as he works hard enough.

Davis fully implemented Mo Mengchen's instructions and let Hardaway take the ball on the weak side. In this position, Hill can help defend in place.

"I will mercifully end you, rookie!"

Hardaway put the ball on the ground, changed direction, and pulled the ball behind his back. His posture was as elegant as a Victoria's Secret show, and he circled Davis behind him. Then, Hill took over the defense.

Penny's offense was limited the most.

This is where Hill is better than Penny, and his defense is something Penny doesn't have.

On the defensive end, Hill can switch defenses, assist defenses, and make up defenses against any player under 210 cm. Therefore, although Mo Mengchen thinks that Penny's offense is better than Hill's, in general, Hill is better players.

Hill's defense blocked all chances for Penny.

"Nice defense!" Kenny Smith yelled.

Penny hit the ball in chaos, Nixon went inside for a dunk, Wallace flew up from the basket and blocked his dunk in the air.

Hill took the rebound, just like the genius who beat Michigan's Five Tigers in the Final Four, and sent a precise and deadly long pass.

In the frontcourt, Davis and Mo Mengchen played fast breaks at the same time, both of them had a chance to score, and Davis had a better chance.

Mo Mengchen is willing to be an adult, he knows that Davis likes data.

He decided to take the chance.

As a result, Davis didn't know which tendon was wrong, and even gave up performing after catching the ball, and passed it back, which almost scared Mo Mengchen out of his wits.

The flattered Mo Mengchen, with trembling hands, messed up a layup that even a junior high school student would never miss under the eager eyes of the [-] spectators.

Davis immediately jumped up to grab the unexpected offensive rebound and make up the dunk.

"Dor.Mo made a fast break mistake"

"Sure enough, people live long enough to see everything!"

"No regrets in this life!"

Davis wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Hill smiled and ran to Mo Mengchen, and was about to tease him, but Mo Mengchen walked around, not giving him a chance.

Then, the Magic's offense also came.

This is a little episode.

It was later discovered that this was the first time in Mo Mengchen's career that he had missed such a fast-break layup.

This layup was also selected into Shaq O'Neal's 20s Top Five 90 years later.

One thing that hasn't changed is that Penny lacks help. He can score continuously in the second quarter, but his physical fitness cannot guarantee that he can maintain such offensive output throughout the game.

The Pistons' strategy has been implemented quite thoroughly.

They allow Hardaway to score high, but others must be locked.

Moreover, it is not so easy for Hardaway to score high points, because it is difficult to get jump shots. Every time he breaks into the basket for a layup, the Pistons' insiders are ready to foul him.

Every offense faces the risk of being fouled.

But this damn team has quite a strong inside reserve.

"Seeing this strategy must look familiar to Chuck."

"Single defense on the outside line, support from nearby teammates at any time, foul immediately once approaching the inside line-under this premise, lock up the other players in the Magic."

"Ten years ago, this defense had a well-known name-Jordan Law."

"Starting today, we can also call it the Penny Rule."

Kenny Smith asked: "Do you think the Pistons' defense is missing anything?"

Johnson said with a smile: "There are many things missing: Rick Mahon's dark elbow, Bill Lambiel's various tricks, and a penalty environment without malicious fouls."

"However," Johnson said flatly, looking at the embarrassed Penny, "this is enough."
