You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 556 The chief coffee himself ends, and the public opinion war escalates!

"What else can we say?"

Mike Dunleavy was moping, they were so fucking close to winning.

Stealing a win from the road makes strategic sense for a Finals post.

The current finals schedule is 232.

The front-position team plays two home games, the bottom-position team plays three consecutive away games, and the front-position team plays the last two home games.

Stealing a game at the opposing team's home will help them prepare for the next three.

It's a pity that they fought hard all night as a team and lost to the great pass and shoot.

Mo Mengchen's hammer assist and Hill's three-pointer at the buzzer made this anxious finals rise to the ranks of greatness. Since then, the Pistons in the post-Bad Boys era have also had their own legendary epic.

This is a game that will be talked about no matter how many years go by.

You can forget that the Pistons led by 15 points in the first quarter and were caught up head-on, you can forget Dunleavy's wonderful on-the-spot command, and you can forget Alan Houston's undercover performance, but as long as you talk about this game, everyone will think of Mo Mengchen. With his back to Hill, he passed the ball with a hammer, and Devil Mountain lived up to his high expectations and sealed his throat with a sword.

At the Pistons press conference, Westphal pretended to be very angry, blowing his beard and staring--he didn't have a beard to blow--and told the media: "I'm very disappointed in Mo, he passed the ball. , that strange pass is definitely not my tactical arrangement!"

Westphal was so involved in the play, of course Mo Mengchen had to cooperate: "Coach, do you want me to shoot against three people?"

The audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Tonight's game, the national ratings reached 16.4.

What concept?Slightly inferior to the finals in 1997 and 1996, a notch below the finals in 1998 and 1993, other than that, there is no finals in any year that can compare, and this is just the finals the second game.

As the atmosphere heats up, attention will increase. In fact, it is more objective to wait until the finals are over before making comparisons.

One thing is for sure, a classic game can drive ratings.

The Pistons became a hot topic all over the United States, the basketball boom in Detroit began to rise, and the Red Wings and his crowd couldn't sit still.

This time, Red Wings star left back Doug Brown went off the field himself.

"They won, yes, we saw it, it was hard to win, but it was dirty, they got three tees all over the court? What is a tee? As far as I understand it, it was an unsportsmanlike foul, they Three unsportsmanlike violations in front of 2000 million people across America on the biggest stage in the NBA. Seriously, they've been called dirty for a long time. They may win games, but they can't win me respect."

Brown, as the star player of the Red Wings, went off to bombard the Pistons in person, which heralded the escalation of the war of public opinion, and the contradiction between the two teams also came out from the dark side.

What happened to him this time can drive the fans of the Red Wings to strengthen their attacks on the Pistons, and the relevant media will also add fuel to the matter based on what he said, and increase their efforts to run and bomb the Pistons.

However, the Pistons player class was very silent, and no one came forward.

Only general manager Dean Osgers "accidentally" "encountered" a reporter on the street, and when he heard about it, he said with a look of surprise: "I regret Doug Brown's remarks. Knowing what to say about us.”

that's it.

This was the only response from the Pistons, and the rest of the responses came from fans and the media that supported the Pistons, as well as a lot of passers-by who couldn't stand it.

Results are everything, the Pistons won two good games at home, the situation has begun to reverse.

The Red Wings took the initiative to attack under the circumstances of poor performance, which aroused the resentment of many passerby fans, and countless fans turned from neutral to the Pistons.

A day later, the Pistons left Detroit for Portland.

Tomorrow is the game against the Trail Blazers. The Pistons first stayed in a hotel and then conducted a closed training camp. They seemed to be heartbroken and did not want to show any emotions in front of the media.

Then, time came to Game3.

Before the start of the game, Mo Mengchen saw the owner of the Blazers, Paul Allen, come to the scene and had a good chat with the three referees.

Although this scene didn't explain anything, it was a kind of show of favor to take the initiative to have such a friendly contact with the owner of the home team in front of the live broadcast.

"It's troublesome at night." Mo Mengchen thought to himself.

As soon as the game started, the referee's performance confirmed Mo Mengchen's concerns.

The Blazers seemed to have some kind of instruction, and they went crazy to the basket. In the opening 2 minutes, Ben Wallace received two fouls.

Big Ben, who blocked 12 balls from the penalty area in the first two games, was fouled twice in the first quarter tonight, and he couldn't play for a second in the next 10 minutes.

The Blazers showed their power with the momentum at home, and this game was like a replica of the second game.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons trailed the Blazers by 15 points.

How to fight back in this situation, the Blazers in the second game have shown the Pistons.

Don't think about anything, just stick to the score, this is the only way.

The more you think about it, the more mistakes you make, and it will take a long time.

Mo Mengchen slowed down the pace, called tactics, used the pick-and-roll to break through the basket to cause 2+1, held a small meeting to inform everyone before the free throw, suppressed the rhythm of the game, and defended to avoid contact.

Even so, they were given 38 free throws to the Blazers by the referee tonight.

The Pistons made a total of 10 free throws from the Blazers.

The free throw ratio of 38 to 10 shows how biased the referee is.

With all kinds of unfavorable situations in front of us, Rashid, who was the most worrying, was not affected by the referee at all. His calm performance made people suspect that his usual unscrupulous appearance was just a fake.

If you can face such a dark referee calmly, what other referee can't you bear?

This confusion only stayed in Mo Mengchen's heart for a moment, and he and Hill immediately put the rest of their energy into the game.

After halftime, the Pistons desperately pulled the point difference to 8 points.

At halftime, their inside line was blown out.

Ben Wallace three, Rasheed two, Jerome Williams four, Pollard two.

Mo Mengchen, Hill and Houston were all guilty.

It can also be seen from this that the referee tonight was very gloomy and turned to the inside of the Pistons to blow the whistle.

After the third quarter, Williams left with six fouls, Wallace had five fouls, and Rasheed had four fouls.

They are completely defenseless.

For the Blazers' breakthrough, they can only raise their hands in a bluff to scare people. Who can such a defense defend against?

If it weren't for Hill's continuous heads-up in the third quarter, the game would almost be over.

They bit their opponents like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang and lasted until the fourth quarter.

Hill's explosive power of 36 points in three quarters shocked the Blazers, and their defense was concentrated on Devil Mountain, so Mo Mengchen got a chance-yes, until now, he still has no idea of ​​breaking the seal.

Even Hill admired Mo Mengchen's endurance, if it was him, he would have been unable to bear it long ago.

Hill helped Mo Mengchen hold back, and Mo Mengchen began to frequently run out of opportunities in the fourth quarter.

The Blazers, who had difficulty blocking both of them at the same time, fell into chaos, but Sprewell was very sober, called the pick-and-roll to break through continuously, and finally beat Rashid to six fouls in the last minute of the game.

Counting Rasheed, the Pistons had three insiders called for six fouls tonight.

They are already numb.

Everyone gritted their teeth and wanted to win this game.

At the last minute, facing the penalty area guarded by Miller and Pollard, Webber scored a fancy layup, and the Blazers led the Pistons by 2 points.

10 seconds, 2 points behind.

Blazers fans invariably remembered the last game.

This time they defended Mo Mengchen and Hill desperately, and it was difficult for the two of them to get a chance. Six seconds before the end, Houston cut out to catch the ball and missed a shot.

Sabonis took the rebound and made a long pass to Sprewell. The Madman scored a layup before the end of the game. The point difference widened to 4 points and the game was over.

1 is better than 2
They got it back!

With the damn home field advantage.

"Why don't we have this home court advantage?" Rashid was furious.

Mo Mengchen and Hill both played 40 minutes tonight.

莫蒙尘砍下30分8篮板6助攻，希尔独砍全场最高的42分7篮板12助攻。

It didn't work, they still lost.

Missing the jump shot to tie the game, Houston kicked the ball away unwillingly and walked towards Mo Mengchen, wanting to apologize.

Mo Mengchen walked away.

He didn't notice Houston.

While losing this game, his 31 attribute points also flew away.

He is destined not to complete the sweep of the Finals and the sweep of the playoffs five times in his career at the same time.

It's a pity, but he's bound to calm down now.

That night, the Pistons were fined by the league for missing the press conference.

They don't care.

Because of the loss in the away game, the evil spirits (chī mèi wǎng liǎng) at home were in full swing. Why would the Pistons not play away games? They couldn’t stand it at critical moments. If this continues, the finals will be over again.
On the night when he missed 31 attribute points, Mo Mengchen stayed alone in the hotel room, rejecting everyone who invited him to go out to relax.

Is he sad?
Did he shed tears for the 31 attribute points?

No, he is very satisfied with the result. If there is any regret, it is that Houston failed to score the last goal.

But how many people can make 100% of the last ball?Let's be forgiving.

He is already very satisfied that the referee is black like this and can still retain the hope of victory at the last moment.

Staying in the hotel is not autistic, but he just wants to make a delicious supper in a relatively quiet environment. After eating, he will go to bed and forget what happened tonight.

The best is yet to come.

In order to make up for his broken heart, Mo Mengchen wanted to eat some junk food.

Just cheesy mashed potatoes.

he said in his heart.

Anyway, there are enough materials, potatoes, milk, whipped cream, mozzarella, peas, eggplant and salt, as well as a cooking pot and oven.

These things, he will make people ready before going to the away game.

Now he's going to start making this ridiculously high-calorie delicacy.

When making supper, he is used to serving two people, because several of them in the team are dog-nosed, no matter how tight the hotel's walls are, they can smell the smell and rush over to eat and drink.

You can never go wrong with an extra serving.

After being so busy for half an hour, he prepared everything and put the mashed potatoes covered in cheese into the oven to wait for the good news.

He hummed softly the title track of his new album.

The album will be released after the season.

He was immersed in it when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"Sure enough, a group of dogs!"

Mo Mengchen scolded with a smile, but did not confirm who the person outside was, opened the door, and took a closer look—huh?Alan Houston?

It turned out he had a reaction that horrified Houston.

Close the door.

"You're really disappointed in me, aren't you?" Houston didn't expect that Mo Mengchen didn't even want to see him.

As a result, within a few seconds, Mo Mengchen opened the door again.

He confirmed it again, it was indeed Houston.

After being a teammate for four years, he didn't even know that this guy was also a dog?
"Any food? I'm hungry," Houston said.

"I was just checking to see if I was hallucinating." Mo Mengchen explained to Houston the reason for closing and opening the door.

Four years as a teammate, Houston never came to him for supper at the end of a game.

He is not used to it.

Why are you here tonight?Mo Mengchen understood after thinking about it.

Mo Mengchen led Houston into the hall, and the oven dinged to remind Mo Mengchen that the food was ready.

Mo Mengchen just made two servings, enough for him and Houston.

While eating, the two discussed which one is better, "Friends" or "Everybody Loves Raymond".

From the perspective of influence, awards, audience level and support rate, there is no problem in saying that the former wins over the latter.

But there are always some people in the world who have different tastes. "Everybody Loves Raymond" is also an excellent comedy. If Mo Mengchen were to choose, he would also choose this more traditional, simple, Plain water sitcom.

Because of Ephraim, Ephraim loved "Friends" to death, so he had no choice but to support "Friends".

Later, he discovered that Ephraim, who regarded "Friends" as extremely important, was not by his side now. He decisively reached a consensus with Houston, agreeing that "Everybody Loves Raymond" is a better comedy.

The two discussed the plot in the play and laughed from time to time.

They didn't talk about the game, they didn't blame each other, they didn't imagine what would have happened if the last shot had gone in.

For Mo Mengchen, it was enough for Houston to come to him for supper.

They have been teammates for so long, this is the first time Houston asked Mo Mengchen for supper, he was neither greedy nor heartless.

He understood that he had let Mo Mengchen down tonight.

He came here for supper and that was his way of saying sorry.
