You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 705 Instant explosion
The high intensity of the Knicks aroused the anger of the Pistons, and it was 3-4 in the opening 3 minutes.

The Pistons lead by 1 point, but their opponent's goal has been achieved.

Running and bombing can't be played, the fast-paced offense that the Pistons are best at is firmly restricted, and it is inevitable to enter a slow-paced game.

Steve Smith ran to the weak side for a shot, and Houston followed, swung hard, dribbled the ball, and knocked it all out.

The whistle blew, and the CIC Wang thug fouled.

Smith went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

5 is better than 4
Mo Mengchen took the serve from his teammate.

As long as he crosses the half court with the ball, the Knicks will not adopt a close-fitting defense against him, because his speed is too fast, and the pressing is just a chance for him to sprint from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

As Westphal said, it was a sad thing to play against the Knicks in the first game of the opener.

Almost half a year has passed since the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pistons successfully defended their title. Few of them had systematic training during the offseason.

The game style of the meat grinder team is usually to bring the opponent's offense to the same level as their own, and then use experience to defeat it. The Knicks have pennies, which is destined to not be a team with too bad offense.

This is the fifth season of the Pistons running and bombing. In five years, no matter how slow the team is, it should be over.

If you want to win against the Pistons, the speed limit is the foundation. The Knicks are experts in this area. After Mo Mengchen and Penny entangled for a few seconds, they played a V-shaped offensive operation.

It's a pity it's not unsolvable.

Penny looked solemn, and he also saw Mo Mengchen's performance in the finals, which made him regret, because the opponent's performance in the finals can only show one thing, the Knicks did not force Dor.Mo with all his strength in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Mo Mengchen lowered his center of gravity, changed direction, and took a strong step with his right foot. In an instant, Penny's center of gravity was lost. He came to the inside line and scored for Hill in the bottom corner.

Letting go of Hill is a good choice, after all, his three-point shooting percentage is indeed lower than that of Houston.

"Shh!"

But that was last season.

7 is better than 5
"Grant hit the first ball of the night!"

"His outside shot is getting more and more consistent."

Shooting has always been Hill's key training program during the offseason, because he suffered too much from shooting, and he allowed himself to have such a big weakness. Therefore, every year during the offseason, he will focus on special shooting training. This goal is the effect, and his outside shooting stability is better than last season.

Compared with the Pistons, the Knicks' positional warfare is very simple and rough, because they confront each other, and it is impossible for the Pistons to allow them to fight without backhanding.Therefore, the confrontation is mutual. No matter how hard the Knicks confront, the opponent will only repay it twice.

Africa Dashan stepped into the low post, and behind him was Wallace, who raised his hand for the ball.

Penny passes the ball and the rest of the Pistons open up.

In fact, as a well-trained team, it is impossible for them to double-team Dikembe Mutombo, who is playing in the low post. They are all mixed in the NBA. The back is a fresh move, and the zombie hook is very famous, but unfortunately it is a one-shot deal.

Wallace slammed into his bottom and refused to push him.

Big Ben was obviously careless. He could defend in a more sophisticated way, but in the end he chose to deal with Mutombo with the simplest but also the biggest flaw.

His defense made Mutombo feel like a footworker for the first time. He turned around smartly, almost finished Wallace's defense with one step, and slammed hard to the basket, and was about to dunk. Go up, hit his arm like a black iron rod, and foul again.

Roaring loudly, Mutombo announced the change of dynasty like a stray lion who has successfully invaded the pride.

"What kind of defense is that?"

Before Mutombo made a free throw, the Pistons held a small meeting, and Mo Mengchen stared at Wallace.

Wallace didn't expect that the lazy and casual defense would lead to such evil results.

"Hopefully that's the last time there's a defense like that tonight."

After all, the crowd dispersed, and Mutombo made one of two free throws.

6 is better than 7
The Pistons' offense is gradually being adjusted, Mo Mengchen advances steadily, and the Knicks dare not press.

This is a problem. Pressing the ball holder is an important part of the Knicks' iron barrel defense, but Mo Mengchen's advancement speed is there. Pressing is equal to being quickly broken through and then the frontcourt is 5 to 4. Against the running team, 5 to 4 [-] is definitely the worst situation on the field.

Mo Mengchen called for a scalpel tactic, and Houston got the tactic and actively moved.He was selected to the Dream Four team with Hill in the summer, but he was not as eye-catching as Hill. As a marginal player in the Dream Four, he did not fall behind in training during the offseason.

The beautiful scalpel tactic was completed in a blink of an eye. Houston's right-wing jumper caught the ball and felt smooth. Smith, who couldn't keep up with his footsteps, didn't defend in place until Houston shot a jumper and fell to the ground.

Like a tourist passing by here, he knew that defense was meaningless, so he ran away from Houston and went straight to the frontcourt to see if he had a chance to fight back.

His plan was doomed to fail, as soon as CIC Wang Qiu made a shot, he muttered: "Go in, return to defense!"

The Pistons all retreated before the ball was scored. What Houston said was true, the ball went hollow into the basket, which was quite beautiful.

9 is better than 6
Penny dribbled the ball and settled the frontcourt. He knew Mo Mengchen very well, and Mo Mengchen knew him very well.

Once he's settled at the top of the key, pointlessly stopping the ball as if looking at the scenery, for no other reason, the pick-and-roll is definitely on the way.

What Mo Mengchen needs to judge is, is the pick-and-roll on the left or the pick-and-roll on the right?It is not easy to make a correct judgment in this situation. Penny's offense is as weird and unpredictable as a little girl's mood.

In a blink of an eye, the offensive started, and Mo Mengchen made a mistake in his judgment—not surprising—Rashid stuck to Penny the whole time, and rushed to the penalty area with him.

Penny jumped up with the roaring Tianzun on his shoulders. Seeing that Hardaway didn't take his defense seriously, Rashid was furious and pressed down his hands fiercely, yelling as if the referee didn't know it was a foul.

The whistle sounded, and Penny made a shot between the gaps. Although he missed, it caused Rasheed's second foul.

"Nice!!"

The brave Pence inspired the whole team. Rashid babbled loudly and cursed at the referee. Before everyone had time to stop him, the referee added two T's like lightning.

"#!#!!!"

The furious Rashid wanted to rush to the referee to continue cursing, but Mo Mengchen quickly ran over, grabbed Rashid's jersey from behind, pulled it hard, tore his jersey completely, threw him aside and roared: " Get off me!"

Like a deer that sees a tiger, Rashid is suddenly deaf and dumb, facing the booing of the audience - don't forget, he likes booing - which is the way the fans comfort him, with the broken jersey hanging , go to the end.

Mo Mengchen tightly clenched his fists, and because he was so angry, the pressure between his fingers made a grinding sound, which sounded like a broken bone.

This season is going to be tough.

"You said that anger doesn't solve problems." Hill said, walking to his side.

Yes, but anger allows a person to let out all the negativity when they can't figure out how to do it.

Mo Mengchen's pain is that he can't be too emotional, anyone can lose control, but he can't.

The Knicks made three free throws.

Smith made all three free throws.

9 is better than 9
Jerome Williams comes on for Rasheed.

There's only one thing Trash Dog can do better than Roaring Tenzin, and that's his endless punch and passion, but those qualities are only temporary, and Rasheed's indispensability to the Pistons is that he can stretch the floor , At the same time, he is quite talented on the defensive end and can do the dirty work that Wallace is not suitable for.

With Williams on, the court space will be tighter, because the Pistons have 0 inside shooting ability.

For the Knicks, as long as Camby pulls to the outside, the Pistons will score one. This person can only be Williams.

11 is better than 9
The fierce confrontation is still going on, and the Pistons can only continue the established tactics.

Williams is indeed a player full of energy. No matter the confrontation or the pick-and-roll, he will not compromise and complete it with all his strength.

Without Rashid, some tactics could not be carried out. Mo Mengchen could only use the offensive firepower from the outside to solve the problem.

Outside line cross positions, Mo Mengchen dribbles to the left, Hill gets the ball to the top of the arc, Houston continues to run.

Mo Mengchen only needs to stop in place to pull out the space, Hill deliberately breaks through from the left, and if Hardaway doesn't double-team, he can directly attack the basket.On the contrary, if he double-teams, Mo Mengchen's shooting is a sharp weapon specially used to punish the opponent.

Hardaway didn't double-team because Mutombo had already returned to the basket. Before Hill succeeded, the African mountains covered the sky and blasted Devil Mountain's layup out of the penalty area with both hands.

Outside, Houston picked up the floor ball and made a three-pointer.

Still missed, the rebound competition became fierce, Wallace and Mutombo did not allow each other to grab the rebound, and the rebound flew to the competition area between Williams and Camby.

Camby was stuck in position, but Williams was going to fight for this irrelevant rebound. He slammed Camby out of the wrestling zone, grabbed the offensive rebound, and was about to attack when the referee whistled.

Uncontroversial card foul.

Williams threw the ball to the ground, his bravery won the audience cheers, and again, he is the most suitable Pistons player in Detroit.

Although he only has brute force, he contributes silently and never complains. As long as he plays on the court, no matter how long it takes, he always contributes 100% of his energy.

"How can you hate this guy? He's the player every team wants!"

Johnson and Kenny Smith have nothing but praise for Williams.

The high energy output of Williams made fans forget about Rashid who lost his mind, because the game was still going on, and they could only wait until the end of the game to recall how incredible it was that Rashid was sent off.

He was like a bomb that exploded in an instant.
