You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 88 I Know I Played Well
"Watch out for Otis' pick and roll!"

A teammate reminded him that the Mavericks' power forward Boyle Jones was not just a display. His ugly face was earth-shattering. This season he was selected as one of the top ten ugly stars in the NBA by a certain magazine. As a tough defender, this picture is enough The ugly face of a crying child definitely adds a lot to him.

He made up his mind that if Thorpe gave Mo Mengchen a pick-and-roll, he would have to prevent him from breaking through even if he lost a criminal.

Thorpe's pick-and-roll intention is very clear-to block the left side, it must be like this-Jones is waiting for Mo Mengchen to come to the left side so that he can make a move.

At this time, Kidd's defensive autonomy rests entirely with his teammates. When encountering pick-and-rolls, his strong body can squeeze through the human wall, but his teammates need to delay the opponent. It's useless to be great.

A miraculous thing happened. Thorpe stood firmly behind Kidd. In an instant, Mo Mengchen patted the ball with his left hand, really looking like he was about to break out from the left side.

Kidd's body followed suit, and to his dismay, the wall of flesh he hit wasn't Thorpe, but the bloody ugly bastard from their team.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

This is exactly why Thorpe thinks this pick-and-roll is not easy to do. This is a difficult dynamic pick-and-roll. First, go up and block the left side directly, but he needs to release the pick-and-roll before the pick-and-roll works, that is, before Kidd touches him. , moving sideways to the right to block, if Kidd didn't hold it back, he would hit his own people directly, even if he stopped it, turned around and moved sideways to the right, and finally just hit Thorpe's arms.

This requires quite exquisite pick-and-roll skills. Thorpe has done pick-and-rolls for guards for more than ten years, and the number of times he has done such advanced pick-and-rolls is also very few.

Mo Mengchen used Thorpe's pick-and-roll to open three positions with Kidra. When no one was guarding the top of the arc, he pulled the ball and scored a three-pointer.

"Dor.Mo's fourth three-pointer tonight!"

"He returned JK's three-pointer!"

On the sidelines, Collins and Mota both showed horror.

This is a tactic they don't see often, and the average team rarely uses it, because it requires too much of the pick-and-roller.

"We don't have this tactic." Collins was sure that this was an on-the-spot command from Mo Mengchen, and he put himself above the head coach's system.

Joe Lynch said: "Mo can often play this kind of tactics on the court."

"This guy really can keep surprising people!" Collins gritted his teeth and smiled, and his colleagues couldn't figure out whether he was happy or angry.

They tend to be the latter. No coach wants players to play tactics they don't know.

Kidd's mentality has a lot of problems. He never thought that he would lose to anyone in terms of skills and tactics. He never thought about it.

Mo Mengchen gave him a sense of inscrutability. Even though he has so many flaws, he can use various methods to minimize the negative impact of these flaws and at the same time magnify his own advantages.

"Defend well!"

Mo Mengchen shouted.

The defensive strength of the Pistons has improved, and they are undoubtedly the stronger team. The Mavericks' ability to survive until now has a lot to do with Kidd's performance.

Today, Kidd's mentality has changed, but he didn't mess up. He called a singles tactic, and still emptied one side and gave it to Mashburn.

"Damn, give me the ball!"

Jim Jackson's current score is a pitiful 5 points, and he didn't get as many possessions as a few insiders tonight.

"You're so selfish, why do you always want the ball?" Houston booed loudly.

Mashburn's one-on-one on Hill also didn't work as well as it did in the opening game.

Hill's defense was even and steady without any mistakes. Mashburn had already played a lot of heads-ups before, and his physical fitness was exhausted. Even if he had a better opportunity at this moment, he could only choose the simplest and most convenient turnaround jumper.

"boom!"

"Long rebound!"

This is a scene that can often be seen in the Pistons. Their protection of long rebounds is the best in the league, and the reason is Mo Mengchen.

His rebounds were not taken from his teammates, but those rebounds that others did not expect, or that would have been out of bounds, but were picked up by him.

At first, his teammates thought it was luck. After playing so many games, they finally discovered how sophisticated Mo Mengchen's predictions were.

In the frontcourt, Mo Mengchen swung a pass to Houston, and the CIC king followed up with a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

"Detroit achieved a comeback, and the scene was full of boos!"

"The fans are disgruntled, they're tired of losing, like I'm tired of eating turkey every Christmas."

"He's going to hit me on the back."

Mo Mengchen said suddenly.

Hill was taken aback.

"Help me defend!"

Hill didn't know how he figured it out, he just knew that the meanest guy on the team never made unfounded predictions, and what he said would happen, it would happen.

Just get ready, I don't want to be scolded.

The distribution of the Mavericks' frontcourt was enough for Mo Mengchen to detect Kidd's intentions, and when Marsh came to the high position to get the ball but didn't move, and Kidd turned and walked down but didn't lean in, all this showed that Mo Mengchen The guess is correct.

Kidd's body firmly pressed Mo Mengchen, and Mashburn passed the ball.

Mo Mengchen made a defense full of flaws on purpose, and what's more, he could make Kidd feel excusable by doing so.

Tonight's Kidd can be said to have used his body to scare Mo Mengchen. He scored three goals just by using his tonnage back, and this is the fourth goal.

I have learned so many times before, so I would rather be caught by you this time than let you push me up, so it is reasonable to push your big buttocks with my knees, because I am afraid of being pushed up by you, Right?
Kneeing an opponent's buttocks is a common fatal mistake in low post defense, and those who are undersized can use this trick to barely hold off opponents who are much larger than themselves.However, as long as the opponent can play back a little bit, such a defense is very dangerous.Because it only takes one internal turn, he can completely destroy your defensive center of gravity.

As the low-ranking master in the No. [-] position, Kidd is naturally proficient in this way. When he noticed that Mo Mengchen's knee was on his buttocks, he immediately made a standard inner turn like a textbook, and Mo Mengchen's body seemed to be trapped. Like the items that were blown away by the tornado, they were thrown behind them.

Kidd's body followed, and he wanted to make a layup, only to hear someone behind him calling for caution, and his ball had already been shot, and it was hard to recover.

"boom!"

The basketball, nailed to the backboard, told Kidd what happened behind him.

His eyes flicked back as his fellow rookie of the year Grant Hill bestowed the hat on him.

"Mo, I'm behind you!"

Houston yelled.

Everyone likes to score, and like this kind of 2-on-0 opportunity in the frontcourt, Houston certainly wants to show off.

Mo Mengchen rushed to the frontcourt and made a high-throw pass that looked back at the moon. The CIC king followed up and jumped up, catching the ball and dunking furiously, making a muffled sound.

The ball stopped Dallas, and Motta had to ask for a timeout.

"I'm not like you, I pass the ball even if you don't say it."

Houston was still immersed in excitement, but Mo Mengchen poured cold water on his head.

Nasty rookie, didn't I just ignore you once?As for thinking about it so much?

Houston also felt wronged, did not refute, and walked off the stage smiling as if nothing had happened.

After the timeout ended, Kidd sent a sideline kick. He didn't expect the Pistons to make a frontcourt press like a mad dog.

As a last resort, he passed the ball to Jim Jackson.

As long as the ball is passed to Jackson, it is almost impossible for the ball to come back.

Because he knows that he has few ball rights, and he should cherish every ball more, and this ball will definitely rot in his hands.

Motta called a timeout in vain, and the game on the field did not go according to his intention.

These young people don't take him seriously at all.

"Am I getting old?" Motta thought.

Sometimes, the reversal of the momentum is in an instant.

If Kidd organizes the ball well, maybe he can score it, and then the game will come alive.

Jackson occupied the ball, no one passed it, and shot an air ball at the buzzer at the last second.

"What is that idiot doing?"

"Selfish, do you fucking know what passing is?"

"You're too embarrassed to be jealous of Jason? Go back to the countryside!"

Mean fans roared from the sidelines, their sarcasm fueling a rift in the team.

In Jackson's view, all of this is thanks to Kidd, if not for him, these things would not have happened.

"You said you wanted me to remember tonight? May I ask what specifically you want to remember?"

When Mo Mengchen brought the ball over, he said this.

Kidd thought he was going to do something again, but at this critical moment, he handed the ball to Hill.

Outside the three-point line, Hill played singles with the ball, rushed into the basket and scored a dunk to score 2+1.

The lifeless reunion gymnasium announced the result of the game. Kidd did not expect that Mo Mengchen finally used his method to push the Mavericks to a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, he gave up the ball.

The Mavericks didn't continue in one breath, and the game was concluded.

In the end, the Pistons beat the Mavericks by 11 points.

This is not an easy victory, the Mavericks have been very tenacious, but there were problems in the last 5 minutes.

Kidd's performance is worthy of anyone.Tonight, he scored a large triple-double of 25 points, 13 rebounds and 14 assists, but this performance did not bring the team a victory.

He walked up to his opponent tonight, a rookie who had impressed him.

"You played well," Kidd said.

Mo Mengchen held his hand lightly. According to statistics, he was blown away by Kidd.

After the whole game, he scored 15 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists. Kidd dominated every stat, but he won the game.

This is more important than data.

"I know I'm playing well."

Mo Mengchen never knew what modesty was. After greeting Kidd, he turned and walked towards the player tunnel.
