You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 614
Penny's three-pointer is quite decisive, which is what the Knicks lacked the most in the Ewing era.Of course, Ewing in his peak period did not have the trouble of scoring, but after entering the 90s, as Ewing suffered injuries and degenerated again and again, they could not find a stable attacker at critical moments.

With Penny, this problem no longer exists.

Hardaway defended cautiously. He was worried that Mo Mengchen would break through him with speed, and his center of gravity would move accordingly.In the end, it was just Mo Mengchen's temptation. The real breakthrough came from the left side, and he didn't take advantage of his speed. Hill's pick-and-roll blocked Hardaway firmly.

Pippen was afraid of Mo Mengchen's speed, so he chose to let it go.

He would immediately think of the consequences of doing so, but it was too late.

Pippen chose to take a step back, Mo Mengchen didn't hesitate even for half a second, decisively received the ball and jumped up, quickly shot a three-pointer, and returned the penny ball.

7 is better than 5
"Dor.Mo used this ball to tell Penny whose territory this is."

Hardaway's brows twitched, and he was amused by this. Mo Mengchen is not a player known for scoring, but now he takes the initiative to attack him.

Penny dribbles the ball and makes a three-threat move from the perimeter, which is especially difficult for a player like him.

After weighing it up, Mo Mengchen chose to release the shot.Hardaway didn't compete with him, and the lightning-like double change of the crotch is exactly the famous stunt of Hardaway, who has the same surname and different name. The speed is terrifying, especially in his hands. The height of 201 centimeters is shocking. , he was able to use such a smooth way to use the crotch to change directions and pass Mo Mengchen in one go.

If you thought this was the end of it, go straight to the layup.

Hardaway tossed the ball with his right hand and seemed to be in control of the two points. As a result, Ben Wallace flew out and disturbed the good show. He was forced to change and dialed the ball to the position of the rebound. Wallace jumped behind him, caught Penny's plate pass, and scored a dunk.

7 is better than 7
Last season, Hardaway played the No. 2 position under Daly for a whole season. Looking at it now, the skills of the No. 1 position are not unfamiliar at all, and he is still capable of playing the No. 1 position.

Plus, he's like the undersized offensive 20 he'll be 1 years from now.

He has a strong tendency to attack, but has the awareness of passing the ball. It is difficult to defend when he has both.

Looking at Hardaway who is serious about defending, everyone has praised his defense better than before. Maybe Mo Mengchen is a little dull, he can't feel it, it's the same as before.

Just imagine, who will be teammates with Mutombo, Camby, and Pippen, and the defense will not be taken well?

Even if there are some problems on the defensive end, these three are enough to wipe the ass clean.

The duel between Mo Mengchen and Hardaway didn't last, and Hill, who was constantly sprayed by Pippen's trash talk, couldn't help but come out to catch the ball.

From the opening to the present 3 minutes, their confrontation is invisible.

Unless someone is paying attention, it's really impossible to imagine what kind of confrontation they went through, and Hill finally got the ball and faced Pippen at the right three-point line.

Hill holds the ball very low in order to put the ball on the ground and start an attack at any time.

He tried his right foot forward again and again, but failed to deceive Pippen.

After three seconds, Hill finally took the first step, which is definitely the fastest first step on the field.

Although Pippen couldn't keep up with this speed, he had a good prediction. He made a judgment long before Hill took this step, so he was not missed.

Then Hill was more sad.

For previous opponents, as long as he takes this step, the game is over, but now the game has just begun, and Pippen will never let him attack easily.

Hill held his breath, the winner of the Grand Slam of Honor last season, and now he was concentrating on one attack. Even if Pippen could predict it, he couldn't predict the next goal.

Hill held the ball in his right hand, but turned violently to the left. The terrifying explosive force opened the gap between him and Pippen. This gap existed for less than a second, enough for Hill to jump up and shoot.

Without any problems, Hill hit the shot and broke Pippen's defense head-on.

9 is better than 7
This kind of offense and defense is suffering for both of them, and the one who wins will take the initiative psychologically.

Next, the Knicks' offense lost its measure again.

Penny, who chooses to move without the ball, is not dangerous when holding the ball. Mo Mengchen pursues at full speed. Only at this time, Hardaway knows how fast his old opponent is.

He wanted to use his speed to get rid of Mo Mengchen, which was a naive idea that only a primary school student could come up with.

In the end, Pippen could only choose to create space and shoot alone like Hill did.

But he is not such an outstanding shot creator as Hill. He is completely against the defense and makes a strong shot, so it is naturally difficult to hit.

Under the basket, the inside line competed fiercely for the rebound.

Mutombo's lower body is not as strong as Wallace's, but his upper body is too good. Even if Big Ben can squeeze people behind him, it is still difficult to protect the rebound in front of such an opponent.

On the other side, Rashid also showed strong resistance to Camby.

In the shadows no one noticed, Mutombo elbowed Wallace away for an offensive rebound.

Big Ben fired back angrily, but it was a solid hitter, and it happened just in time for the African mountain to dunk.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, Africa Dashan scored a dunk, and there was an additional penalty.

"NONONO!" Mutombo showed Wallace the black elbow that had just made great achievements. "You are not my opponent at all, little guy."

The inside battle has always been dirty, and Mo Mengchen believes that Wallace is not an easy guy. He dropped Barkley in the first training game when he came to the Pistons.

An insider with his stature cannot survive inside just by being tough.

Or should I put it this way, an insider who doesn't know how to do dirty tricks can't survive inside.

And for a pocket insider like Big Ben, insidious tricks are a must-have skill, but they are usually kept low-key and not used. If you really encounter a rascal, even if it is not for the purpose of hurting others, it is always right to protect yourself.

Mutomboga made a free throw.

On the other side, Hill officially began his revenge on Pippen.

For the various events in the 98 Eastern Conference Finals.

Who said good kids don't hold grudges?

Who said that high-achieving students are not dark-hearted?

Who said that Grant Hill was a humble gentleman who was kind to others?
Pippen is still a top defender, but he is no longer the zone blocker who dominated the All-Defensive First Team in the past. Rasheed's back screen successfully hung the 35-year-old veteran on him.

Hill ran to the right three-point line and received a pass from Mo Mengchen.

"Shh!"

12 is better than 10
Hill deliberately asked Pippen: "Will you let me shoot a three-pointer now, Scott?"

Pippen gritted his teeth fiercely, he didn't expect that this soft bastard who was stepped on by him would now be full of wings and seek revenge.

"Damn bastard!"

Pippen's pride made him unable to accept Hill's provocation, even though he was old and Hill was at the top.

He doesn't make excuses, especially his age. He feels that he is still young, and he can still play for many years. The scariest thing in the world is to admit that he is old.

The older generation of stars headed by Scott Pippen thought they were the center of the world, but they didn't know that the sky of the league had changed.

Penny gave the ball away, and he didn't mind letting the veteran waste a possession or two.

Daly always told him: "It is necessary to understand people's hearts, but also to understand people's hearts."

He is the leader, and he should let the people around him vent their anger, even if his anger is likely to suffocate himself to death in half.

Pippen singled out Hill, and his movements were clumsy.

Another difficult jump shot, missed.

However, Mutombo once again cast a black elbow and this time, he failed as Wallace managed to disable his bounce with a kick against his buttocks.

Africa Dashan never expected that this seemingly insignificant guy would be so insidious.

The rebound was taken by Rashid.

"Mo!"

Rasheed and Hill shouted at the same time.

One wants Mo Mengchen to catch the ball, and the other wants Mo Mengchen to pass the ball.

Two things happened at the same time, and at the moment of receiving the ball, Mo Mengchen avoided Penny who was about to foul him, received the ball sideways, and then used the strength in his hands to throw the ball forward.

"What an elegant pass?" exclaimed Vinier Johnson. "The Pistons are the favorites of the world for nothing!"

Kenny Smith corrected him: "No, we're playing the dirtiest basketball ever, don't talk nonsense!"

Johnson laughed: "Why do you just open your mouth?"

As for Hill, he closed the offense with a dunk while calling the Knicks' first timeout of the night.

14 is better than 10
It seems to be very close. If you are not careful, the difference of 4 points can be changed to 1 points in 14 minute.

Don't forget that their opponent is the monster army that averaged 135 points per game.

"Scott, have you had enough?" Van Gundy asked loudly.

Pippen replied calmly: "Next, I will attack cautiously!"

"Let me say it again, be cautious, cautious, and cautious every time you attack!" Stop their counter-attacks and they're just like any other team!"

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Mo Mengchen asked Hill.

"What do you think?" Hill asked him back.

If Pippen did the same thing to Mo Mengchen, Mo Mengchen felt that even if he scored 100 points on the opponent, he would not be able to relieve his anger.

"As long as you have a touch, I'll let you catch the ball and get sick." Mo Mengchen said exaggeratedly.

Hill laughed: "I love this!"

Mo Mengchen didn't know that there was something in the world that Hill didn't like at all, and there should be none.

As for Westphal, what he arranged was exactly the opposite of Van Gundy on the opposite side.

He emphasized speeding up, asking the players not to care about the success rate, but to find ways to increase the number of rounds and let the opponent follow.

This is a battle for speed.
