You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 633
On February 2th, Momochen completed Leonard Hayden's heart surgery in St. Lucifer.

On the same day, there was news that the Hayden Group would join the sponsor family of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Ever since Mo Mengchen joined the Pistons, there have been an endless stream of sponsors. Now there are not many places for sponsors to advertise in the Palace of Auburn Hills. The competition is extremely fierce. Wanting to become a sponsor of the Pistons is no longer the same as the original Dura Electric , you can win advertising space in the most prominent position in Auburn Hills by investing a few million.

Not long ago, Dura Electric announced that it will continue to be the jersey sponsor and home sponsor of the Pistons.

They will pay tens of millions of sponsorship fees for this every year, and the reward is that Dura Electric will dominate in Detroit and even Michigan. Dura logo.

Hayden Group's joining this time is firstly to thank Mo Mengchen, and secondly, it has spotted the big cake of the Pistons, and wants to take a share of the cake before it is divided.

Now this time is just right, they boarded the last train.

Also today, the official announcement of the All-Star Weekend roster was officially announced.

Mo Mengchen became the No. 1 starter in the Western Conference as the vote leader, beating Penny Hardaway. Hill was originally No.2 in the ballot list, but he was injured and was destined to miss this All-Star. It was also because of his absence, Alan • Houston was named an All-Star for the first time in his career.

Although it is a substitute, it is the highest honor for him.

In addition to Houston, the Pistons' starting power forward Rasheed Wallace was also selected as an All-Star.

Three of the five starters were selected for the All-Star Weekend. From the side, this is a recognition of the Pistons. (Because Houston was selected as an All-Star substitute for Hill, it can only be counted as three)

Before then, they have four games to play.

On February 2, the Pistons went to Boston to challenge the Celtics.

This is the first game that Hill is absent, and the opponent is the fourth in the East. Last season's opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals, the outside world, as usual, is not optimistic about the performance of the Pistons.

In Hill's absence, it's Rasheed who opens the show with a special poem about it.

"Our future is limitless; our purpose is unshakable; we are always dreaming; we are going to chase greatness; we fly our wings; we will never give in! Tonight, right now, we fight for each other! Let's flap our wings , Rush to the sky!"

A nondescript, and sounding like a second-level sentence, uttered from the mouth of this bear-like big guy, has an extraordinary effect.

Mo Mengchen shouted: "123!"

"DET!!!"

Tonight, Mo Mengchen and Rashid prepared a generous gift for Duncan.

This generous gift is called a pick and roll.

It's not the maze tactic that tortured the Kings before.

To put it bluntly, the maze tactic is specially used to deal with O'Neal-type and Nowitzki-type insiders.

An insider who can't prevent pick-and-rolls or can defend against pick-and-rolls but has poor basket protection ability.

Duncan, the most underrated defender ever, played maze tactics in front of him, and it was estimated that he would be seen through in a few rounds.

Duncan, who averaged 41 minutes per game this season, is the core of the Celtics' offense and defense. When Rick Pitino gave up his integrity, Duncan's combat power was used to the extreme.

Only Duncan can affect both offensive and defensive ends of the Celtics team. Rasheed faced him in the game.

After playing for a few minutes, Pitino saw the clue.

"It's like playing Utah," Pitino whispered.

Rashid is very unfamiliar with this style of play. Although he knows a little bit of everything, he is not as pure as Malone.

Malone is pick and roll, offense, passing.

Rashid's pick-and-roll is worse than Malone's, and his offense is far inferior to Malone's. He has the awareness of passing the ball and his skills, but he prefers to play simple hand-offs. This guy can do everything, but he doesn't show his skills.

Hill is not here, Mo Mengchen must take this opportunity to maximize Rashid's ability.

Another beneficiary of Hill's absence was Ricky Davis, who manned his opponent tightly throughout the court and continued to play like a substitute.

Hard work and enthusiasm, but not recognized by Mo Mengchen.

After more than half of the first quarter, the Pistons led the Celtics by 3 points, Westphal made a rotation, and Davis continued to be on the court.

Mo Mengchen and Rashid were replaced together, and Davis had the greatest autonomy.

The Pistons replaced the main general to rest. On the side of the Celtics, Duncan was still fighting on the field. He hit a 2+1 fiercely, clenched his fists and roared.

Circumstances change a person.

This has been proven time and time again.

The selfless and humble Penny becomes a self-centered megalomaniac;
Duncan, who is as steady as a mountain, was forced to carry the burden of the whole team helplessly, and he was full of passion during the game.

So Ricky James, who is selfish, overjoyed, and has no team awareness, is here to assist me. Will Davis change accordingly?
Mo Mengchen was staring at him, and Davis soon noticed.

He wished he hadn't found out about it.

When he looked back off the field, he found that Mo Mengchen's cold eyes were staring at him, watching his every move.

Mo Mengchen observes Davis like a documentary filmmaker observes the living habits of wild animals.

This made Davis terrified. He originally wanted to flex his muscles and passed the ball.

This pass is messed up.

Because it was an eagle attack at the time, which was a one-on-one challenge technique. If it was passed out, it showed that the strategy failed. If it was given to Ginobili, he could only one-on-one.

The current Ginobili heads-up efficiency is definitely not as good as Davis, but if Davis refuses to play, it can only be played by him.

Ginobili made a heroic breakthrough. Although he didn't go in, he caused Duncan's foul.

In an interesting scene, Ginobili actually confronted Duncan on the court and fouled Duncan head-on.

Hopefully Spurs fans won't be heartbroken.

"Ricky, if you don't dare to play, ask the coach to get off the court. Don't waste opportunities on the court."

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Mengchen said to Davis.

A few minutes after Mo Mengchen was off the court, Davis did not attack with the ball.

"You are not a substitute now. You don't need to be humble on the court. We need you to take the lead in the charge like Grant, instead of passing the ball to the rookie and let him take the blame for your inaction!"

Mo Mengchen lashed out at Davis in front of the whole team.

Westphal, who wanted to replace Davis, changed his mind and continued to keep Davis on the court.

You know, Davis has already played the first quarter.

It was Mo Mengchen's turn to take control, and it was another eagle attack.

Davis saw what Mo Mengchen wanted to do when he saw the position quickly opened.

A second later, the basketball was passed.

He has no way out.

Under heavy pressure, Davis felt stiff after breaking through and failed to put the ball into the basket. Fortunately, Jerome Williams desperately rushed to grab the rebound and made up the ball violently.

This is not the end, but the beginning of Davis' nightmare.

Mo Mengchen turned into a porter, dribbled the ball across the half court, called an eagle attack, and then passed the ball to Davis.

"With such frequent singles, I'm afraid I will be ambushed by the opponent." Charlie McCann said worriedly.

Mo Mengchen stood indifferently outside the three-point line.

When Davis singled for the third time, the Celtics double-teamed him inside, and the double-team woke him up.

In the two years since he came to Detroit, his game has changed drastically.

Seeing double-teaming, passing has become his instinctive reaction.

Jerome Williams received the pass unexpectedly. He thought that in Davis' current state, encountering double-teams would be the result of a head-on collision, but he didn't expect to be able to pass the ball out.

He immediately jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket.

For the first time in three rounds, Davis achieved something with the ball.

"Tell me, why did they double-team you, an idiot who can't even make an empty basket?" Mo Mengchen asked Davis.

Davis replied grimly, "They're dumber than me."

I can't believe I'm starting to like him a little bit?
Mo Mengchen snorted softly and shouted: "Duncan is not here, defend a ball!"

In this game, Davis's performance was mixed. He basically got the third ball in the team. He played 36 shots in 16 minutes, but only scored 14 points. He can miss every layup, but when the Celtics decided to set a trap inside, it made him sober.

The more the Celtics double-team, the sharper Davis's points will be.

Therefore, although his offense was a mess, he got 7 assists in exchange for breakthrough points.

He doesn't play well offensively, and he performs well on the counter-attack. This is his forte and the closest he can get to Hill.

His counterattack is particularly passionate, and he dares to do any dunk. Whenever he makes a fast break, the garden is always quiet.

Mo Mengchen played the role of a reaper, with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the first three quarters, and 16 points in a single quarter in the last quarter, taking away the game in a wave.

With 31 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, the Pistons won the first game without Hill.

After the press release, in the locker room, corrections began as usual.

Mo Mengchen was the last to be called, usually he was the first.

He stood up, glanced at Davis, and said, "I apologize to everyone for not being aggressive the first three quarters tonight."

"As we live in the world, we have to face many responsibilities in life. For those who are immature, they can always find some reasons to relieve some of their own shortcomings or misfortunes. We need to transform ourselves. Be better than wallowing in the abyss of self-pity. Bear the consequences of your actions and take responsibility for your actions instead of blaming others and trying to escape!"

"So, I apologize for tonight, the first three quarters, I didn't take my responsibility."

After saying that, Mo Mengchen looked at Davis again.

The good news is that Davis did not avoid the devil's sight this time, and he gave the devil a pair of stubborn eyes.
