You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 677 Superman Can Fly‖

Mo Mengchen knew that they couldn't limit the operation of the triangle offense forever.

After two games in Auburn Hills, the Lakers already know their cards, and then the battle shifts to Los Angeles, and it's their turn to show off their muscles.

Game3
Tonight, the Pistons encountered the perfect triangle offense.

"A long time ago, Phil used to daydream about Shaq playing under him. He always told me that Shaq was so suitable for the triangle offense that he would like to coach Shaq. The triangle offense needs a dominant center. ...He's the first point of the offense. He gets a pass from the wing to start the offense, and he can A-on-one, or B-pass to the cutter."

The live commentator at the Staples Center said so.

Tonight, the Lakers played exactly such a game.

It is impossible to prevent the dead shark. The Pistons did not prevent the dead shark tonight, but also let the Lakers play with air cuts. Kobe and Rice finally opened the outside line, and the whole game came alive.

This is the most comfortable time for the Lakers. As long as OK can play to the fullest, the whole game will be easy.

From start to finish, the Pistons didn't get much of a chance.

They have played many times with the Bulls and many games with the Lakers, but this is the first time they have seen such a Lakers, such a triangle offense.

However, there is not much time for them to adjust.

Only two nights.

The Pistons lost their first away game, and the Lakers temporarily fell behind 1-2. Their plan is to win all the home games.

After winning the ball, the Shark once again expressed his heart to the world: "I believe that we all have the heart of a champion. LA has Superman, the godfather, the best guard in active service, and the best fans in the world, and here is One of the best cities in the world, we have everything, as long as we play properly, we are unstoppable, and all losses are just accidents."

"Then they have encountered enough accidents."

After watching O'Neal's interview, Barkley said sourly in the training ground.

Westphal deliberately showed O'Neill's interview clips last night to the players. In fact, it has one purpose, which is to increase the anger value of the players and let them know how ugly the opponent's face is once they lose the game.

His goal has been achieved, and the Pistons' dislike for O'Neal has risen to the top.

"From now on, we give up the outside to the inside pinch."

At the tactical analysis meeting in the afternoon, Westphal reworked his strategy against the Lakers.

"As soon as Shaq catches the ball in the paint, I want you guys to shrink the paint and pinch him!"

Westphal changed the way of double-teaming to double-teaming by the inside line, but this plan is problematic. If the inside line partnered with O'Neal is Horry, Rashid and others cannot double-team at all, because Horry can extend beyond the three-point line.

"Anyway, we're going to make sure we have two guys in the paint on Shaq."

"In this way, we are bound to miss someone."

"Including Kobe," Westphal said loudly, "We have no key players on the perimeter, and we will do everything we can to pinch Shaq!"

Kobe is not Xiaoxiami, he was selected to the third team this year, and he can already be said to be the top 15 players in the league. The reason why Westphal let him go was just to comply with Mo Mengchen's strategy, although he didn't know that Kobe was allowed to play. Nothing, but he supported Mo Mengchen.

Moreover, he never took the initiative to mention this matter to Mo Mengchen, which was a tacit understanding between them.

"Tonight, Superman is going to eat everything."

At home, O'Neill is confident.

When the Pistons showed their defense against O'Neal, the Lakers, the fans at the scene, and the fans all over the world were all disappointed with "Is that all?"

It's not uncommon to pinch O'Neal inside. When the Blazers played against the Lakers, in order to limit him from receiving the ball, sometimes three players piled up in the penalty area.

That was O'Neal who didn't have the ball in his hands. Although there was still a risk of being called an illegal defense, the Blazers' tactics were implemented very well, maintaining a close distance, and it was difficult for the Lakers to give the ball to O'Neal.

The Pistons are still the same, let O'Neal catch the ball first, and then pinch inside.

"When will you guys understand?" Zen master watched the game with a smile, "Once Shaq gets the ball, the defense of two people is simply not enough."

O'Neal doesn't care about passing the ball in the double-team inside. He doesn't want to do these boring and delicate tasks. Now is the time to compete for strength. Although his official height is 147 kg, there are rumors that his body before the start of the season, his weight Has reached 160 kg.

There are many people who are willing to believe that this data is true, otherwise, they can't explain why O'Neal can do this kind of thing on the court.

The Pistons' double Wallace joined forces to pinch, and Dr. O'Neill yelled, like a great white shark opening his bloody mouth, shaking off the double Wallace who was trying to hit a stone with a pebble, and scored a dunk.

"Superman can fly!" O'Neal roared.

Westphal's tactical failure is a key point. The Pistons fell into a passive position across the board, and Mo Mengchen played the entire first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons trailed by 10 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Mengchen called for the maze tactic continuously. In the fourth game, the Lakers still failed to crack this tactic. They relied on the aggressiveness of the defensive end and the consumption of the Pistons, and then relied on the talent and mature triangle offense to suppress the offensive end.

This is how they won the third game, and they will do the same tonight.

Mo Mengchen and Hill didn't want to see the same thing happen again. Their outburst made Huo Zai lead the score before halftime.

The Lakers still can't crack the maze tactics.

In this series, O'Neal's fear of pick-and-rolls has been completely exposed.

Although the NBA is the highest basketball hall in the world, there are really few NBA coaches who can play through the academic pick-and-roll, that is, the stereotyped academics like Sloan and Larry Brown.

O'Neal can't defend the pick-and-roll, and this problem is becoming more and more obvious. The more he can't defend, the more the Pistons will play like this.

In the second half, O'Neal was furious and took the initiative to defend against the pick-and-roll, even clinging to Hill and knocking him down.

It was a foul, and he raised his hand and yelled, "We can't lose here!"

His actions boosted the team's morale, and the Lakers became more ferocious like beasts. The game entered a fierce battle, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand like soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food.

The Lakers can't afford to lose this game, because once they lose, the Pistons will win the match point. For them, it is tantamount to standing on the edge of a cliff.

In the last quarter, O'Neal suddenly gave up the offense and continuously used low positions to tear up the Pistons' formation. When Kobe broke through, he took the initiative to pull aside to make enough space.

The Pistons' defense began to collapse, and Kobe's offense was successful many times. He thought of O'Neill. Although he didn't like this fat man, at this moment they needed to work together to defend against a strong enemy.

O'Neal no longer needed to waste his physical strength to play 1-on-2. After Kobe broke through, he sent a comfortable pass. He dunked the ball again and again, screaming: "Superman can fly!"

It's over, in the last 5 minutes, OK defeated the Pistons.

The Lakers won two games in a row and tied with a big score.

Until the end of the game, at the press conference, O'Neal was still shouting the phrase that everyone was impressed with: "Superman can fly", but he also added, "They can't stop me!"

That night, Mo Mengchen did not attend the press conference.

He scored the second most points on the team tonight, behind Hill's 35 points, but they still lost, with the Lakers' talent beating the Pistons' overall in the final 5 minutes.

Westphal's strategic error is part of the reason, and their unpreparedness for a game of this intensity is also part of the reason.

He can't think of anything now, his mind is full of O'Neal's "Superman can fly", which he hates.

O'Neill's unique voice echoed in his head with this sentence, like a demonic ghost song.

"I must."

Mo Mengchen gritted his teeth fiercely, and he turned on the system first.

In a fit of rage, he had lost the slightest sense of reason. He looked at the 50 attribute points on his body, and then looked at the two attribute values ​​of bounce and bullet speed.

Although his mind is not clear, he knows which attribute should be added.

After confirming that the bullet speed was only 82 points, he kept clicking the "+" module, increasing from 82 to 104 full points, consuming a total of 42.

Next, there is the bounce.

He added it to 90 last time, and now there are 8 attribute points left, and he didn't keep it. He increased the bounce by 5 points, and the 50 attribute points disappeared.

After finishing the changes, he glanced at the overall evaluation, but nothing changed.

Then, he stared blankly at the system.

"What am I doing here?"

Dor. Mo talking to himself.

It's as if he can block O'Neal by raising the bounce and speed to the top in NBA history.

He doesn't call inside
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to worry about, Mo Mengchen wonders why his overall evaluation has not improved?
Last time, after improving the bounce and bounce speed, his overall rating skyrocketed by 2 points, but this time, he raised the bounce speed to full point, and the bounce also increased by 5 points, but the overall rating remained unchanged.

Could it be that a player of my type doesn't need such a good bounce and speed?Or, that bounce and speed won't help my game much?
Mo Mengchen couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. He changed from a snail-like floor runner to a bird and beast as fast as lightning and like a rabbit. It seems that he hasn't changed much?
For him, bounce and bounce speed are not only useful when defending players like Penny, but also when he needs to feel "what it feels like to play in the sky".

To this end, he spent millions of attribute points in it, and as a result, the return was only a 2-point increase in the total rating.

He couldn't understand the system more and more.

All of a sudden, the grievances brought down on the court dissipated, and now he just wanted to sleep peacefully.
