You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 977 This Is Stability

9 Chapter Eighty This Is Stability

At the beginning of the second quarter, Mo Mengchen sat on the sidelines and watched the game.

Westphal is not in a hurry to replace all the two aces selected for the first team.

He first let Hill back on the field to ensure that there are core players in charge. The other four players are Manu Ginobili, Gerrard, Rashid and Magloire.

This is a very strong defensive lineup.

Gerrard, Rasheed and Magloire are enough to turn the Pistons' restricted area into a no-fly zone.

On the Spurs side, the old demon Kidd returned to the court after only a 2-minute break.

"If there is no Dor.Mo, Jason Kidd should be the best point guard in the world." At this time, Lambiel said.

Kidd controls the game in a way that only a true connoisseur can see.

Vinier Johnson even compared him with many legendary defenders: "In terms of organization, he can be compared with Magician, Isaiah, John Stockton, and Dor.Mo."

It is very interesting to confront such a person.

Just like those players whose destiny was changed by Mo Mengchen, Kidd is one of them.

At this time in the previous life, according to the established historical trajectory, after seven years, Kidd, as a recognized old monster, became the second person in the NBA in assists, the third in three-pointers, and as the commander of the Dallas Mavericks. , Help Nowitzki win the championship.At that time, he was like an old man with a pipe in his hand, and he became the most insightful defender in the league only by his strange overall view and passing the ball with his soul.

But that was the past life, and in this life, Kidd's fate has been changed.

He joined the Spurs and came to Popovich's command. It was no longer Duncan who stopped him, but the invincible Dor.Mo and the Pistons.

Nowitzki is not in the Mavericks, nor is he in the Nets. There are many things in the future that are unpredictable.

But now, at the age of 30, he is still a monster in the backcourt with unlimited physical fitness. He averaged 20 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds per game in the playoffs, which is enough to become a bright spot with Dor.Mo, plus Penny who has been sent home to fish, The three of them are the best three defenders in the world.

Kidd thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, relying on Swift's physical fitness, to the inside pass.

Swift's one-sided game is well-known, and now he has the ball, but he also knows how to fake it. Shaking Magloire, Swift relied on his physical fitness and swallowed a hot pot meal.

The ball flew out of bounds, and Swift caught up with all his strength and almost saved it.

"If you put this guy's talent on me." Trash Dog said angrily, "I'm definitely the No. 2000 pick in the [-] draft, and Elton Brand's motherfucker can't compete with me .”

Assuming that Swift's talent is really placed on Jerome, Mo Mengchen believes that he can become a talent, but his peak period will not be very long, because his style of play is too aggressive, and he has already made himself a mess with no talent. Injury, if you have talent, what's the deal?
Curry, who was sitting next to Jerome, just nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it is what you say."

Failed to make this goal, the Spurs will have to pay more enthusiasm on the defensive end.

42 is better than 36
The Pistons temporarily led by 6 points. Ginobili dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Hill from a high position. At this time, the two insiders pulled out to cover at the same time.

A typical piston cuts inside the blind spot.

Gerrard's opponent is the Spurs' blue-collar forward Malik Rose. This man's offensive skills are flexible and versatile, but the highlight is on the defensive end. Just like the Spurs' silver and black jerseys, that is exactly his style, tough and ruthless.

However, the timing of Gerrard's cut was too good. Without the help of the inside line, Rose lost the opportunity and shot from behind and hit Gerrard's arm, but the latter jumped up from the basket with explosive power and scored with a backhand dunk.

"Brother Dash is mighty!" The teammate shouted excitedly.

44 is better than 36
On the Spurs side, Kidd chose to play back and beat Ginobili with his body.

Gerrard decisively threw Rose away, crossed to the inside, and flanked Kidd with the Argentine demon knife.

Rose got an open outside line, Kidd passed the ball, but it was not for him to score, because Rose has no three-point ability at all, unless it is a buzzer attack that has to be shot, otherwise he will never shoot a three-pointer.

With such a large open space but no shot, the audience laughed. Rose missed the opportunity to attack and waited until Kidd approached before handing over the ball.

This is a defect of the times. There are not many reliable 3D players at the moment. Most swingers have D but not 3. In this era of tight space, blue-collars who can’t make three-pointers are generally not targeted in this way, and the Pistons Various creative defensive strategies will be employed.

The 76ers suffer a lot because they don't have a shooter, and the Spurs will also be targeted again and again because of their lack of shooters.

Kidd's good post-up opportunity was double-teamed and he couldn't attack. Rose also gave up an open three-pointer.

Not in.

So far, Kidd has scored the first 4 points. After those two difficult pull-up jumpers, he has never scored again.

The Pistons' defense was like a curse. Mo Mengchen sat firmly on the sidelines, watching Kidd, who was forcibly boasted by the media in the holy city as being as famous as himself, suffer so badly. He seemed indifferent.

The Pistons relied on defense to rectify the Spurs, and in turn, the Spurs also used defense to deal with the Pistons.

This group of people can do nothing but defend well. From starting to substitute, Popovich resolutely implemented the core concept of defensive team building.

The penalty area is blocked, and the outside line strengthens the oppression.

The Spurs made a dangerous move and forced the Pistons to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Although the Pistons are the team that likes three-pointers the most, the only scary shooters in the team are Mo Mengchen and Reid.

Hill got a chance for an open three-pointer from the outside, and there is no time to attack. Even if he is in a bad position, he can still make a shot.

Missing a three-pointer, the Spurs' plan seemed to have succeeded.

Hill missed a three-pointer, and Kidd changed his game strategy and handed over the tough task to Arenas, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but was afraid that Popovich would invite him to drink tea.

As a sophomore, Arenas is already an indispensable outside fighter for the Spurs. He averaged 18 points per game this season, and various offensive methods are beginning to emerge.

Against him, Gerrard's main defense is shooting.

Arenas didn't care where his defensive focus was, he looked at the basket, straightened his waist, and pulled up a strong shot.

39 is better than 44
The shot silenced the Empire Axis Arena.

A complete giant star, except for superstars, no other player would play like this. Arenas calmed down his opponent.

The Pistons lost their long-range shooting feel on the offensive end, so they had to dribble in and break through.

This is Swift's favorite moment. As long as someone breaks in, he will help defend according to Kidd's slogan. Every time he can send a few handsome blocks.

In addition to the brain capacity, he has the configuration of a superstar all over him.

Hill was blocked, Magloire grabbed the offensive rebound, and made two fake moves in a row. Although they both tricked Swift, the opponent's physical fitness was outstanding. Got his shot, second block shot.

Kidd grabbed the defensive rebound, the Spurs counterattacked, and Arenas rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and score a layup.

41 is better than 44
Arenas scored 5 points in a row, and Westphal couldn't sit still. Usually, the Pistons bullied the opponent without range, and boldly shrunk the penalty area so that the opponent rushed in. Now it's the other way around.

"Gerard, I hope to see you develop a reliable long-range shot next season." Mo Mengchen said to Gerrard before playing.

If he only said this sentence, no one else would respond.

"Don't be like your mother, who has played for decades and can't even shoot a three-pointer." Just as Mo Mengchen finished speaking, Hill spit out Gatorade in his mouth, "Who Say I’m inaccurate?!”

In order to ensure outside shooting, Westphal replaced Mo Mengchen and Reed at the same time.

"Do you know what is accurate?"

Mo Mengchen walked to the frontcourt slowly and let Hill pass the ball.

Hill did the task of a porter, bringing the ball across the half court like a point guard, and settled in front. Reid made a stop to the left corner, and the Spurs did not dare to underestimate it.

Mo Mengchen stopped at a 45-degree angle to the right, and Hill stretched out his hand, calling for tactics.

Rashid looked like he was coming to cover, but in fact he was not. Mo Mengchen stopped at his position, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction. He got rid of Kidd's close defense in one fell swoop, ran to the top of the arc, and handed over to Hill. With the catch of the hand, Yan Ye shot Kirilenko one meter away from the three-point line.

The ball spun at high speed, and Kirilenko was sure that he gave Mo Mengchen the greatest disturbance.

But the way Mo Mengchen shot was too confident and calm, as if his blocking shots had no effect at all.

Does it really matter?
Kirilenko did not believe it.

Other than not being able to block the ball, his defense was perfect.

"Shh!"

"Don't you want to know what stability is?" Mo Mengchen shot at Hill, "This is stability."
