You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 327 The Battle of Vengeance
Without Pippen, the Bulls would lose one player who can score 20+7+8 per game. Jordan has to help share these statistics, and others have to help too.

This will cause the offensive pressure to focus on Jordan.

Their opponents are happy to see this scene.

Jordan continued to attack in the low post, break through with the ball, and take points one by one, while the Pistons were much more flexible.

They can play tactics, they can open up the area to let Mo Mengchen or Hill single out, and they can also make Houston run wildly like torture, and wait for the opportunity to catch and shoot after the opportunity arises.

Or, they could hand the ball to Barkley and see an inside version of the fight.

The confrontation between Barkley and Rodman is also a highlight of the game between the Pistons and the Bulls. The two well-known villains rub against each other, and the Fliggy's offense is even better.

After halftime, 59 to 50, the Pistons led by 9 points.

Jordan scored 26 points in the half and that was the price he had to pay because no one else could score, the Pistons defense was really strong, especially with Mo Mengchen's improved defense, plus Barkley didn't know What kind of ecstasy soup was poured into him, and he actually became the green leaf of the team, constantly expanding and assisting defense, and did not occupy the ball on the offensive end.

As an opponent, the Pistons are terrible.

Phil Jackson fell into deep thought. What he thought was, if Pippen came back and they played a series with the Pistons, what were the odds of winning?
His first thought was that without Pippen, he would shudder at the outcome of a series against them.

Tonight's game is all about that series, Jordan will be consumed and the Bulls will lose.

Jordan, who is about to turn 35, can't be counted on alone against the Pistons.

So what if Pippen returns?

Even if Pippen returns, it will be a difficult matchup.

Consider the current internal situation of the Bulls.

In fact, there has been a fundamental change within the Bulls: Personal conflicts have evolved into a battle for control of the team.On one side are general manager Klaus and owner Raunsdorf, the "two Jerrys" represent the team's management, and the other side are coaches and players represented by Jordan, Jackson and Pippen.

What the Zen master can foresee is:

This battle will last throughout the season and will lead to Jordan's retirement, his own retirement and Pippen's exodus.From this war, people will recognize Jordan behind the sacred halo, know the "two Jerrys", and realize the true face of the "Bull Dynasty".

People will never forget this period of history and the angry bull logo.

The blood drops on the horns of the Bulls logo are not for the sake of looks. This team has seen blood everywhere from its rise, prosperity to decline. That blood is the blood of the enemy, its own blood, and the blood of everyone.

In the third quarter, Jordan was still trying to compete with the Pistons, and he did a lot of things on the offensive end.

"If everyone else is in better form, the Bulls still have a dozen."

"It's the game and you can't guarantee everyone will be ready, especially against a team they knocked out of last season."

"There is a burning fire in their hearts, and they want revenge."

Jordan dribbled the ball to the basket, causing damage, and stood at the free throw line and made two free throws.

But it was useless, Mo Mengchen backhanded the pick-and-roll misplacement to force Kukoc, and his breakthrough made the Croatian helpless.

Mo Mengchen broke through from the outside, entered the basket and scored a one-handed dunk that was not forced, causing the audience to shout "Ethan"'s name.

64 is better than 54
"Michael, are you going to look at it like this?" Mo Mengchen pointed at the scorer, "Look, the score difference has reached double digits again."

Jordan looked grim and ran past halftime.

He didn't ask for the ball. From the beginning to the present, the high-intensity offense and defense consumed his vital strength, and he felt tired.

It was only a few minutes into the third period, when they had just rested, and the fatigue set in, and it bothered him, and he didn't like it.

Jordan tore the opponent's defense hard, and the Bulls' inside lines were quite modern.

Rodman, Kukoc, Longley, Wennington.

Except for the big bug, the other three have a very wide shooting range, and Rodman is like the dream of Green in this era. The difference is that he does not have Green's shooting skills, but his rebounding ability, comprehensive defensive end, plus every Green does not have the ability to irritate opponents on the field, drive the atmosphere of the field, and directly promote the team to play offense and defense without occupying the ball.

Rodman came to the top of the arc to get the ball. Jordan just helped Longley make an off-ball screen, and then rushed over.

Rodman handed over the ball hand in hand, and then squeezed hard.

Jordan took the ball and made a long-range mid-range shot with one step inside the three-point line. Last season, this was a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Opportunity is a momentary thing. If you grasp it, or fail to grasp it, the result will be different.

Jordan missed the shot.

Objectively speaking, the defensive strength of the ball is still very high. Rodman failed to block Hill. He has already interfered with Jordan. However, such interference is nothing but scratching the surface for the experienced flying man. , Missing this ball is his own reason.

"Michael is tired," Daly said.

That's how the Bulls consumed most of his court, and he started to tire, unable to hit jumpers.

If you can't hit the jumper stably, you just dribble the ball in and break through. An old Jianghu like Jordan knows what to do, but the Pistons' penalty area is not made of paper.

Theo Ratliff is on the lookout, and his shot-blocking ability has been proven.

In order to right him this season, the team traded away Mahon and Thorpe during the offseason, reducing the depth of the inside lineup, and Ratliff became the team's starting center for the new season.

So far this season, he has averaged 32 minutes per game, scoring 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game.

After Jordan missed the shot, Mo Mengchen wanted to break fast, but Ratliff got the rebound and didn't have the ability to make a pass, so the opportunity disappeared.

Mo Mengchen didn't say much, Ratliff didn't know the team's plan.

He asked for the ball, pushed it slowly, and raised one hand.

Seeing his gesture, teammates began to prepare for his plan.

"Dor.Mo back beat Ron Harper!"

Mo Mengchen starts from outside the three-point line, just like Jordan, but he does not have the strength of the flying man, and it is not wise to back-up Harper.

It was a trap, a trap anyone could see, but Harper still didn't know how he was going to take advantage of it.

How does this trap work?

When you act too smart, no matter what you do, everyone will think you are planning something.

The truth is simple: Mo Mengchen just wanted to use Harper to practice the low post.

Of the five skills on Mo Mengchen's body, "Master of Step" and "Hand of God" are the least used, and others such as "Left-Handed Assassin" and "Boneless" can be used every game.

"You really want to hit me back?"

Harper felt offended.

Harper was known as the poor man's version of Jordan in his early years. He was omnipotent and averaged 20 points per game. lost weight.

In the 80s, the NBA didn't count the weight of players very much. Harper's peak weight was a mystery, but when it came to the Bulls, his weight was only 84 kg.

Yes, not as good as Mo Mengchen's 86 kg.

In other words, Mo Mengchen now has an advantage over him in terms of tonnage and strength.

Mo Mengchen bumped into the outside of the paint three times in a row, and the next two seconds were like a performance moment - Mo Mengchen made a fake move with his head, giving Harper a non-existent idea, and the bottom line?
No!Mo Mengchen's subsequent shoulder shake made him give up this idea, but in the end, it was his shooting that ended the defense.

The moment Mo Mengchen turned back and picked up the ball, Harper could no longer make a rational judgment, and it was his instinct to jump up and block the shot.

Mo Mengchen bent his body, leaned on him at a 45-degree angle and scored.

The whistle followed.

"Ethan!"

"Ethan!"

Fanatical fans drowned out the DJ's tunes, and the scene was surrounded by "Ethan".

"He's not a superstar, but he gets more love than any other star in the league."

Daly joked: "It's wrong to say that, Dor.Mo is a well-deserved superstar in the music world."

"Yes." Johnson replied with a smile.

"Shh!"

Add penalty throw.

The point difference was widened to 13 points again.

The Bulls need to score. If they continue to hit the iron and the Pistons counterattack, the gap will only widen.

They fought a bull's-eye, but Mo Mengchen saw through it, destroyed it ahead of time, and the tactics ended.

Harper let out a bad breath, not knowing what to do.

"Ron!"

Jordan wanted the ball.

In the dark, Houston suddenly left his opponent behind and rushed to steal the ball.

"careful!"

It's too late to remind.

Harper's ball has been sent, Jordan just resisted Hill, did not guard against the enemy in the other direction, and it was in this situation that Houston snatched the ball from Jordan's face.

Jordan runs fast, the young Hill and Houston run even faster.

The CIC king is not greedy for merit, he knows that Jordan's hatred is all on him, and he will definitely not care about Hill, so he attracted the defense and threw the ball into the air at the last moment.

The devil flaps his wings,

Hill grabs the ball and dunks.

No sound can be heard on the court, and the voices of the fans surrounded the place.

15 points behind.

Noisy environment.

This atmosphere was suffocating, and the Zen master called a timeout. He decided to replace Jordan and let him take a rest.

It's risky, because once the Pistons take advantage of Jordan's absence and pull the score, it's game over.

Jackson had to take that risk, because if Jordan wasn't given a break, they'd be blown too.

Seeing that Jordan was off the field, Mo Mengchen conveyed an unmistakable and unswerving instruction to his teammates: We must intensify our attack!
Destroy them completely!

Revenge begins tonight!
It was the night they flexed their muscles against the Bulls, and they raged, eventually pulling the deficit to a desperate 24 points in the third quarter, when Jordan was off the court.

At the end of the third quarter, Zen Master had no expectations for the game.

Because he knows that Jordan doesn't need to play anymore, and the rest will be garbage time.
