You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 678 Unfavorable Start
时间：2000年6月12日，星期一晚上21：00。

Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Background: "Superman can fly."

After the first four games, both sides have basically shaken their trump cards, without reservations. At most, they are just small adjustments in the grand strategy, which can bring surprises, but cannot change the result.

Appearing in the commentary tonight are Hubie Brown and Marv Albert. Before the game started, they first made their position clear.

"I prefer the Lakers game, so I think they will win." Old Brown expressed his opinion.

Albert is a centrist who is easy to be blinded: "Their games are very entertaining. It is difficult to choose among them. I think I will stand on the side of the winner."

Of course, everyone will be on the side of the winner.

In the middle of the field, the core players on both sides shook hands.

Through the last three games, O'Neal has proven his strength, and no one will be dissatisfied with his chatter, because he does have the strength of MVP.

But no one will question whether Mo Mengchen's MVP is genuine, and his performance is not bad either.

In contrast, O'Neal's data and on-the-spot performance are more impactful, but the Pistons have a better record, and during the period of one and a half months, they achieved results without Hill's absence.

This is precisely the most unacceptable place for O'Neill.

Because at the beginning of the season, Kobe also missed 18 games due to injuries, and he also led the team to play brilliantly during that period.

Up to now, the decision-making power of the matter is no longer with Shark. The candidate for MVP has been decided. He has no way to change this result. He can only prove that he is better than Dor.Mo on the highest stage.

The two sides are ready to jump the ball. On the Lakers side, their starters are still the original five players.

The same is true for the Pistons. The starters of the two teams have not changed much.

"boom!"

Rashid hit the ball hard and the Pistons won the ball at the start. The Lakers retreated across the board and did not give their opponents a chance to speed up.

This retreat can indeed show the Lakers' understanding of the Pistons. As long as the Pistons are not allowed to grab the opening offense, their goal will be accomplished.

Because the Lakers retreated very fast, Mo Mengchen could only slow down the pace, dribbled the ball across half court, and then called the maze tactic.

"Insidious bastard!"

O'Neill roared, and off the court, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zen Master's mouth.

In the first round, the Pistons played a maze tactic. After Hill disassembled, he took the ball from the free throw line and scored a throw.

2 is better than 0
The maze tactic is like a natural enemy to O'Neill. His speed can't keep up, but this tactic is not without limitations.

It has infinite possibilities in itself, and to fully master it, pick-and-roll interiors and wings require extremely high IQ.

At present, only Mo Mengchen, Hill, Rashid and Miller are the only ones who can master this set of tactics for the Pistons.

If you are familiar with and understand each tactic, the essence of the maze tactic-multiple pick-and-rolls-can only take one form, and even if it is only a form, it is enough to confuse most defenders.

Its form is reflected in the fact that although the pick-and-roll positions are diverse, the choice is single. Ben Wallace's choice after each pick-and-roll is exactly the same. His singleness makes Rasheed and Hill, two players who have mastered maze tactics. Tactical dynamics have also become predictable.

After four games, the Lakers spent a lot of time trying to crack the maze tactics.

Just tonight.

Zen Master watched Brian Shaw dribble across half court, and he wanted to completely crack the Pistons' maze tactics.

O'Neal is on the weak side, and it's just him and Kobe.

Although there were only two of them, they were the most dangerous two for the Lakers. O'Neal got the ball and stood high.He has no shooting ability, and there is no threat to hold the ball in this position.

Wallace retreated a little, afraid that he would attack with the dribble, but O'Neal used his body as an assist to help Kobe block Alan Houston, and then passed the ball to him. Wallace made a mistake in his judgment and failed to switch in place. Kobe scored with a jumper.

2 is better than 2
Do you want to continue the maze pick and roll?This is a problem.

Mo Mengchen is very clear about the pick-and-roll problem in the maze. After four games, no matter how poor the Lakers' tactical analysis team is, it's time to see something.

Hill tasted the sweetness at the beginning and wanted to continue.

Mo Mengchen let him do it, the maze pick-and-roll started again, and O'Neal was instructed that he didn't need to do anything about this pick-and-roll.

Wallace's every move is in the opponent's eyes.

Big Ben is the defensive axis of the Pistons and the foundation for the Pistons to be so strong in running and bombing. Without him guarding the basket in the penalty area, the Pistons' offense would not be able to play so unrestrainedly.

But now, he has become the biggest flaw of the maze tactics.

Limited by his golf quotient, Big Ben couldn't understand the maze tactics. He could only be a formality forever. Even so, he taught O'Neal hard in four games.Now, the Lakers are following his series of moves to judge the next move of the maze.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball, and this pass was destined not to fall into Hill's hands.

Kobe attacked like a poisonous snake, like a black mamba injecting venom into its prey, and Hill's pass was cut off by him.

"LA strikes back!"

In an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum changed, and Mo Mengchen turned around and chased after him.

Kobe's speed is very fast, but no one expected that Mo Mengchen behind him could catch up.

"Why so fast?!" Albert's voice became more and more excited, "Dor.Mo actually caught up!"

So what?Kobe's eyes were full of murderous intent, even if Mo Mengchen caught up with him, he couldn't stop him.

He has rushed to the three-point line, started immediately, stepped into the paint on the second step, and jumped hard.

He is here to end Mo Mengchen!

"Humph"

With a soft snort indifferently, Kobe looked back, his eyes that were not emotionally fluctuating at first suddenly swelled, what did he see?He saw Mo Mengchen catching up with him, right next to him, jumping into the air with him, and he also saw
Mo Mengchen's rising trend is faster than Kobe's!
His jumping height is not as high as Kobe's, but his jumping speed is astounding. Kobe didn't have time to rise to the highest point, and Mo Mengchen's hand was like a five-finger mountain pressing down on Sun Houzi, covering it ferociously.

BOOM!

Bryant fell to the ground, and the ball in his hand was knocked out of bounds from him.

"Ohhhhh!!!"

The Staples audience gasped.

Mo Mengchen's teammates, starting from Hill, counted as one, and their reactions were more shocking than the audience.

"That person..." Ricky Davis swallowed hard, "is it Dad?"

Lewis was dumbfounded.

Shocked, Miller replied, "It seems so."

Kobe was lucky that he was not injured. He was blocked by a humiliating chasing body, but he didn't have a trace of fear. He just said stubbornly: "You're lucky!"

"I'm sorry, my luck has always been bad." Mo Mengchen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and squeezed out a chilling smile, "So this is due to my strength."

I will defend to the death the authenticity of this statement and reject all rebuttals.

Hill came over to serve Mo Mengchen. The game was going on, so he couldn't miss the scene just now.

Blocking Kobe boosted the team's morale, but the problem didn't go away.

The maze tactics were seen through.

If Wallace is replaced by Miller, this problem can be solved, but in that case, the Pistons' defense in the penalty area will be greatly reduced, O'Neal will play more freely, and Rasheed alone cannot cope with the Lakers' outside impact.

This is a dead end. As long as Wallace is there, the maze is flawed. If Wallace is not there, the Pistons' run and gun is also flawed.

Xiao cautiously defended, Mo Mengchen had already given too much shock, and they were all numb.

It's just that they obviously didn't realize how terrifying it would be if Mo Mengchen had such a fast bullet speed.

Even Mo Mengchen himself was adapting to this terrifying bullet speed.

Mo Mengchen called for Rashid's pick-and-roll, when an opportunity appeared, he pulled it up directly, and the speed of rising from the ground to the top was too fast, which was an experience he had never had before.

Such a height also makes it difficult for Xiao, who has experienced pick-and-roll delays, to interfere.

"boom!"

Mo Mengchen hadn't adapted to this bullet speed yet, and couldn't find the rhythm of his previous jump shots.

The Lakers did not give them a chance to breathe, and the team quickly attacked.

The triangle offense became more and more extreme. This time it turned out that O'Neal was alone on the weak side. After Shaw passed the ball to him, he took the initiative to pull to the strong side.

In this way, the weak side can only be one-on-one. With O'Neal in his position, the Pistons have no way to double-team him.

Wallace's weight is close to 220 catties, which is quite heavy for his height. If his opponent is not O'Neal, who weighs more than 320 catties, he will not look so petite.

The big shark devoured him!
Not only did Wallace fail to defend, but he was also fouled by the Sharks for the first foul of the night.

O'Neal turned around and hooked the overlord, and gently picked the ball into the basket.

"Nobody is stopping me!"

O'Neal stomped his foot on the floor.

And tonight, he seems to have a good free throw touch.

O'Nealga made a free throw.

5 is better than 2
O'Neal was playing well, the Pistons' maze tactics failed, and Mo Mengchen had no jumper rhythm.

Bad things happened one after another, and all of these things had only one effect, which was to put the Pistons at a disadvantage.

"I need to find the touch."

For this, he is destined to throw a lot of bad balls, and this is the price.

He said this to Hill.

Hill naturally knew how important it was for Mo Mengchen to find his touch, so he agreed on the spot: "You don't worry about shooting, I'll grab the rebound."

Mo Mengchen continued to look for the rhythm of jump shots.

In contrast, he is more used to the feeling of getting to the top slowly in the past, and the feeling of jumping to the top with a little effort like now is really not good at all.

For a shooter, the most important thing is stability.

Only a stable posture can have stable efficiency, and twisting the body into a twist will get nothing but picturesque beauty.

Mo Mengchen called the pick-and-roll again, and made another three-pointer.

"boom!"

Still out of rhythm, the crowd at Staples Center roared as Bryant picked up a long rebound to complete his counterattack.

　Tomorrow, Mo Mengchen will change once, but superstars will not change three times.Fight to end this game the day after tomorrow.My coding speed can keep up, but the quality can't keep up. I want to write well for the key events, everyone forgive me.
