You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 978 How many times can we watch such a beautiful jump shot?

Chapter 981 How many times can we watch such a beautiful jump shot?
Before the finals started, the outside world generally believed that the Spurs would be as helpless as the teams in the East.

Judging from the first half of Game 1, the Spurs were by no means helpless. Their offense was sometimes unstable, but their defensive stability made them enough to fight against the Pistons.

After halftime, Hill and Ginobili's outside shots were not stable enough and were targeted by the Spurs many times.

It's just that the depth of the Pistons' lineup is too amazing. Coupled with the two stable shooters Mo Mengchen and Reid, in the second half of the second quarter, the Pistons once relied on outside three-pointers to pull the point difference to double digits.

On the Spurs side, relying on veteran David Robinson's high-post shots and Gasol's low-post offense, they barely recovered some points.

After halftime, the Pistons led the Spurs by 56 points 49 to 7.

"Their inside performance is good." When Mo Mengchen talked about the performance of the two sides, he was obviously dissatisfied with his own inside. "If we want to win the game, we have to make three-pointers from the outside, and we have to perform on the inside."

This is what he said to the reporter. When he entered the locker room, the insiders headed by Rashid were sprayed to shame.

"You idiots can't even handle a 37-year-old man?"

"David Robinson scored 7 points alone in the last few minutes!" Mo Mengchen glared at Rasheed and Curry, "Is this how you defend? Are you trying to tell the world that we can't even compare to the old man inside?"

Rashid snapped back, "He feels good."

"He feels good? Then you won't foul him? Force him to the free throw line?" Mo Mengchen yelled at them, "I'd rather let him go to the free throw line than see him attacking you, because that's better than He's shooting more free throws!"

Admiral's free throw percentage in the playoffs is 66%, usually, the free throw percentage will be much higher than the shooting percentage, Mo Mengchen's claim that Robinson's shooting percentage is higher than his free throw percentage is not the truth , but effectively bruised Rasheed and Curry.

"Let me say a few words."

After Mo Mengchen finished training, Westphal began to explain the game plan for the second half: "The Spurs are no different from the 76ers. They have good interior depth and better perimeter defense than the 76ers, but they don't have super players like AI and TD." Superstars, we don't need to be bothered by any of them' offense - of course, David Robinson's offensive performance in the last few minutes of the second quarter was unacceptable, Rasheed and Eddie, you need to reflect on yourselves."

Westphal controlled the time and said kindly: "Arenas, Kidd, Steve Smith, Steve Kerr, these four are the most threatening outside shooters for the Spurs. Before the two Steves, we could have boldly shrink the defense and make it difficult for them to attack in the color zone."

"Grant, keep watching Arenas." After Westphal finished speaking, he looked at Mo Mengchen, "Pay attention to their passing routes, as long as we complete a few steals, we will be able to seal the victory."

The so-called steal is to steal the pass.

The Pistons' offense is always very efficient, maintaining the stability of the offense, and making several counterattacks on the defensive end, the point difference will be widened, and then the victory will be sealed.

For the game, Westphal was confident and arranged the tasks clearly, and let the players return to the court to shoot and warm up in the rest of the time.

In the second half, the Pistons' offense started from the low post.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball to Curry in the low post. The latter played singles. In the first half, he was beaten by the Admiral, which made him lose face. If Mo Mengchen wants to give him a good face in the next few days, the only way is to play return.

Curry used his strong body to hold down the 110-kilogram Admiral. At this time, Robinson was not as strong as when he was young, and there were some signs of blessing. The current weight is also the peak of his career, which is just used for low-post defense. .Curry's pace changes in various ways, swaying from left to right, Robinson seems to be facing off against Olajuwon, deceived, and his center of gravity is shaken, completely unaware that this is just Curry's fake move.

The admiral was swayed aside, Curry no longer turned into a little shark, but turned into a little Ewing, stepped back, jumped into the air with a stronger body than Robinson, and shot a shot.

58 is better than 49
"That's right, I have the three-point skills I had back then!" Ewing clapped his hands and encouraged Curry, "If you want more positions, you've got all your confidence!"

"Yes, Master!" Curry replied.

Master is the nickname Randolph gave Ewing. Curry thought it was interesting, so he called it off. Ewing hated it deeply. He felt that he was not too old. With his current state, he could at least be able to continue Play for a year.

Anyway, it's old age, and you can still win the championship lying down, why not?
If he continues to play for the Pistons for another year, it is very likely that he will get his third ring, so that he will have one more ring than his old enemy Olajuwon.

For the Spurs, the cooperation between Kidd and Gasol is very beautiful.The Spaniard first went to the left three-point line to fake a pick-and-roll, cut inside, Mo Mengchen made a defensive judgment error, Kidd hit the ground, Rasheed gave up his defensive position in order to destroy the pass, but Kidd's pass was already strong The road and direction are judged in place, and there is no room for steals.

Rasheed let Gasol receive the ball and go straight to the penalty area. Curry flew to block, but was fouled by the Spaniard and put the ball in.

"Eddie Curry's [-]rd personal foul!"

Gasol threw his fist, shouted "Nadeep Edrivaz", and sprayed all the saliva on Curry's face. (Translation: Lao Tzu hangs up the sky)
Curry wiped the drool off his face and gave Gasol a hard look.

52 is better than 58
Gasol scored and added a penalty, Curry picked up the ball, passed it to Mo Mengchen and said, "Dad, give me the ball."

Curry generally does not take the initiative to ask for the ball. This season, the Pistons scored the best 77 wins in history. Mo Mengchen and Hill were selected for the double team at the same time. With 18 rebounds and 7 assists, he is the third offensive player in the starting lineup, but few people noticed him.

Because most of his scoring methods are chance balls that are on his lips, and he rarely has opportunities for status singles.

The Pistons have a dense offensive system and a mature system. The tactics are really interrupted and someone needs to be singled out. The outside line Mo Mengchen, Hill, and Ginobili are all ahead of him.

Few people have noticed that Curry's low-post turnaround jumpers on the left and right wings have achieved small success, and his mid-range shots from the free throw line have also stabilized.

Mo Mengchen passed the ball, and Curry couldn't match up with Gasol, so he vented his anger on the old man and shot the Admiral without discussion.

60 is better than 52
The spirit of the students at the same level appeared faintly, Gasol took the ball in the low post on the left, and the Admiral covered and went down the middle.

Gasol hit the ground and passed the ball. If he was young, Robinson would just dunk the ball and it would be over. The 37-year-old admiral couldn’t catch the ball after running at full speed and then make a violent move. He chose to lay up, but he was caught behind. Curry caught up and nailed the big hat.

The basketball flew backwards, Mo Mengchen caught up with the ball, Kidd was about to foul him tactically, only to see a gleam in Dor.Mo's eyes, as if he wanted to hit him with the ball.

Kidd felt cold in his crotch, the ball flew by, and Hill received the pass and counterattacked for a dunk.

62 is better than 52
"It was a bold pass."

"10 points difference! Dor.Mo's assists are brilliant, but we can't forget Eddie Curry's defense, this kid knows the shame and plays well!"

Unlike Gasol, Curry's defense is an oppressive defense.

His physical condition is here. After joining the Pistons, he relied on defensive positions to squeeze out Brad Miller's starting lineup.

It was this experience that made Curry realize the importance of defense. If it weren't for defense, he would never have become the team's starter in his rookie season.

In the next round, the Pistons defended the Spurs' four players, except Major General Arenas.

Arenas finally broke through the cage that Hill had set on him, broke through the blockade like a beast, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and confronted Curry's defense forcefully, thus ending his relationship with Gaso A battle of spirits.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Arenas caused Curry's fourth personal foul. His strong core strength allowed him to maintain his balance and complete a layup.

Undisputed 2+1.

Curry held his head in his hands, thinking that he was wronged. The referee was not satisfied with his body movements, and Rasheed immediately rushed over to pull him away.

This is a role model that a veteran with rich experience in provoking referees should play.

Curry was replaced, and his aggressive defense resulted in four fouls early on.

Should the Spurs breathe a sigh of relief?

No, they should despair.

After sending off Curry, Magloire and Ewing were still sitting off the Pistons court.

For the sake of safety, Westphal replaced veteran Ewing.

The 41-year-old Ewing no longer has the physical fitness to participate in high-intensity competitions for a long time.As a surprise soldier, he can probably play high-intensity games for about 10 minutes.

10 minutes, exactly one quarter, is completely enough for the Pistons.

After Ewing came on stage, the audience gave him applause.

The 41-year-old veteran is already one of the oldest players in active service. Except for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, no veteran can appear in the stalemate of the finals at the age of 41.

Westphal replaced Ewing, not to cater to the fans, but to recognize Ewing's ability.

After Ewing came on the field, Hill was very good at it. He asked his teammates to pull away to give Ewing space for singles, and Mo Mengchen lobbed the ball in.

Ewing got the ball with his back against the Admiral.

This will be the last time the four major centers face off in the Finals.

The 41-year-old Ewing swayed his shoulders from side to side, tricked the 37-year-old Robinson, turned around, jumped up, and his strong body made a funny bunny jump shot.

64 is better than 55
Lambiel cracked a timely joke: "How many more times can we watch such a beautiful jumper?"
