You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 587 Who Did You Say Is Dead?

Although the Pistons lacked Rasheed and Ricky Davis, the Blazers did not show the kind of momentum against their rivals.

Stoudemire and Sprewell were short when they saw Mo Mengchen, and the whole team could only rely on the inside advantage to fight.

After Weber came back, Mo Mengchen and Hill played double-teaming again.

Before Webb catches the ball, the Pistons' inside line will run him from all aspects, asking him for the ball to attack.Once he gets the ball, the Pistons' double-teams will follow immediately.

As the initiator, Weber plays the role of the actual organizer of the team: he is the strongest scoring point, the organizer, and the decision maker.He decides how the team's offense plays out, he's the complete core of the team.He was more than happy to take on the task.For the core of the organization, awareness, judgment and decision-making ability are far more important than personal skills and athletic ability.

Many people's praise of his athletic talent and skillful skills is a blind misreading.His talent for organization and delivery far outweighed his already outstanding individual abilities.

The Pistons are also grasping this point, they will selectively empty the threatening shooters on the periphery of the Blazers.

In this way, Webber must pass the ball.

He has confidence in his passing, and he also believes that his teammates can shoot the ball in. He also believes that the Pistons' interceptors must be nearby.

But what about it?

Mo Mengchen flashed out to steal. His speed was fast enough, but the timing was a bit short. Sprewell took the ball from the outside and shot a three-pointer.

Unfortunately, he missed the shot.

The Pistons counterattacked and Alan Houston scored a dunk.

50 is better than 43
With 3 minutes left in the first half, a 7-point advantage.

Blazers fans will tire of the next 3 minutes as they play the same offense on every possession.

Weber gets stuck in position—Weber hits back—Weber is double-teamed to score—Mo Mengchen succeeds or misses the steal.

For three minutes, the Pistons played five rounds of this repetitive routine.

They succeeded twice, stealing the ball twice from Webb's hands.

They should be happy about that, because Webber is the best passing power forward ever, and he will pull out all the stops to avoid steals.

No matter how careful he was, Mo Mengchen could still guess where he was going to score the ball. The only thing he lacked was the timing of the steal.

Every round, Weber had to make sure he was one step ahead of Mo Mengchen.

Similarly, Mo Mengchen had to ensure that he reacted faster than Weber, and whoever was faster would succeed.

In these 3 minutes, the two of them played against each other for five rounds, and Weber won three rounds.

It's hard to say that Webb won Mo Mengchen because he made two turnovers, five points, two turnovers, and three passes to his teammates. Of these three passes, Sprewell only made one shot.

Therefore, it can also be said that although Mo Mengchen only completed two steals, he blocked Weber's points four times.

Because his points didn’t turn into points, that’s meaningless. Although he didn’t grab the ball, he stepped forward in time and put a lot of pressure on the shooters. Shooting under pressure and shooting from the open are two completely different offenses.

The success of the double-team strategy and interception pass strategy helped the Pistons lead the Blazers by 57 points 45 to 12 at halftime.

In the half, Mo Mengchen scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals.

This is the first time in his career that he scored at least 10+5+5+5 in the half.

"Continue to double-team me if you have the ability!"

Passing is one of the skills Webber is most proud of, and he will never allow opponents to beat him in what he does best.

If that is your desire.

Mo Mengchen smiled: "I can satisfy you mercifully."

Weber had an indescribably strange feeling. He suddenly felt that the Pistons' double-teaming against him might not be targeting him.

It was a feeling, because he didn't detect that kind of hard work in the first half.

The Pistons didn't regard them as their biggest opponents, it was like an experiment, and this feeling made him most annoyed. If this is true, it means that the Pistons didn't take them seriously from beginning to end.Without an absolute main force and a major rotation, why are they so arrogant?
An angry Webb walked into the player tunnel, silently accumulating energy for the second half.

Webber's feeling is not wrong, the Pistons are not for him.

Mo Mengchen carefully considered that if the history did not change, then from this year onwards, the OK Lakers would rule the West, although the pattern of the West has changed due to the butterfly effect following his arrival.

Webber went to the Trail Blazers, Duncan went to the Celtics, the King formed an alternative super battleship, and the Lakers and Horses matchup that should have been the theme of the new century is now only the Lakers without the Spurs.

Now the Spurs have decided to play badly, and the most talented player on their team is the Admiral who is about to turn 36 years old.

Without Duncan, they couldn't stand at the top of the Western Conference for nearly 20 years like Mo Mengchen's previous life.If they are bad from now on, no one knows how long it will take them to get a real man who will lead them to rise, but one day it is certain that the Spurs scouts at the beginning of the century had a tricky eye.

Their rebuilding may take a long time, or it may soon.

The current Trail Blazers have fallen a lot compared to last year, and only Webber is still on the rise.On the Lakers side, O'Neal has officially entered the peak state, Kobe is about to complete the transformation from star to superstar, and coupled with a group of fierce players who can conquer and fight well, the Blazers should not be their opponents.

The biggest variable in the West is the Kings.

McGrady's third year, Nowitzki and Bibby's second year, and Divac.

They are the exact opposite of the Blazers. Except for Divac, everyone is on the rise. McGrady and Nowitzki should be able to reach the quasi-All-Star or All-Star level this year, and it will be hard to say in the future.

Early this year, later next year, and at the latest the year after next, they will definitely become the spoilers in the West, making the Lakers feel like eating and drinking.

Combining these, Mo Mengchen decided that this year's Western Conference belongs to the Lakers.Therefore, from now on, they must make necessary preparations for the various shortcomings and disadvantages of the Lakers.

Mo Mengchen likes to plan ahead, because he is not like other traversers who have the ability to hit nine. He is not a 91-meter guard, he does not have a [-]-meter wingspan, and it is impossible for him to score [-] points in the finals like Bai Jidong. , his talent is limited, and his hidden dangers are huge. He needs a strong team to support him, and then he can prepare in advance by relying on his own understanding of these opponents.

The last time he calculated so early that he might meet an opponent in the playoffs was in 97. After they lost to the Bulls for the first time, he was preparing.

Although they lost to the Bulls in 98, his preparation also played a role in Game6.

This time they are far more mature than two years ago, and they also have the experience of winning the championship from scratch. The situation is completely different.

Westphal didn't know much about Mo Mengchen's approach, but he gave the latter the power to direct on the spot.

He and Mo Mengchen are in perfect harmony.

One likes to delegate power to players, and calls timeouts to arrange timeouts at critical moments; the other likes to be a coach on the court, and often does things that make the coaches blind.

There must be a reason why Mo Mengchen suddenly and frequently pinched the opponent's inside line and cut off the passing line.

For the specific reason, he can ask clearly in private, now - let's double-team tighter!

At the start of the second half, Webber attacked in the low post, and before the double-team came, he hit his trademark straight-arm jumper from the head of Jerome Williams.

The rose garden was full of joy, and everyone was singing for Weber.

Each of them believed that this man would bring them out of the abyss.

As for the result, who knows?
The Blazers retreated quickly, definitely the fastest they could do, five starts, only Sabonis didn't retreat to the backcourt in time.

But the Pistons' counterattack was faster, with five against four in the frontcourt.

Mo Mengchen started to break through, but he didn't break through the defense of Little Flying Squirrel. He pointed east and west, flicked his fingers, and the basketball spun and flew into the basket.

The positional battle abruptly became a counterattack fast break.

"Detroit seems to be playing a game with a 12-second shot clock and everyone is in a hurry!"

Attacking in a hurry, this sentence is right, running and gunning is meant to be fast.

In turn, the Blazers also wanted to fight back. Webber got the ball in the low post. Williams didn't give the shot this time. He raised his hands above his head and surrounded Weber's body fiercely.

Weber only hesitated for a second, and Houston's double team arrived.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the leading back pass.In one-on-one, the teammates around him take turns running, and he can freely choose to make fake moves, straight-arm jumpers, cuts, and turn over hooks.His hands-on skills are undoubtedly the top among NBA power forwards, and his height and amazing physical fitness ensure that he can deal with any opponent.

"Are you here again?"

Wei Bo snorted: "You are dead!"

The most gorgeous (wei) beautiful (suo) power forward in history let the CIC king double-team and he sent the ball out like a dancer.

He believes that the ball will reach the end he expects.

On the left side of the passing route, a horrifying black shadow arrived at a speed unmatched by anyone on the court. With a 208 cm wingspan, he swung forward, first with his fingertips, then with his knuckles, and then with his entire palm—" NO! Dor.Mo intercepted Chris's pass!" The commentator exclaimed, causing Weber's expression to change drastically.

The moment the ball was broken, Mo Mengchen's body was still not steady, and he changed hands and threw the ball that he had just grabbed into the sky.

Grant Hill ran at full speed, and the audience screamed, roared, booed, and faintly marveled.

It only took two seconds!

"An alley-oop pass across the court!"

"Grant Hill flaps his wings, he's flying!"

"Perfect shot, definitely the best assist of the season!"

Weber's heart beat faster. For the first time, he felt a sense of fear towards Mo Mengchen. The other party seemed to have penetrated into his heart, knowing all his thoughts, and the speed of the other party just now
He couldn't believe it.

Mo Mengchen turned around and greeted with a smile on his face: "Who did you say was dead, you idiot?"
