You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 735
If the two teams met for the first time not long ago, the 76ers showed their muscles against the Pistons, saying that "we came together to deal with you bastards", then the first quarter tonight will be the Pistons' return.

As the defending champions, they have won consecutive championships in the past two years, the kings in the league, and the evil shadow that hangs over the East. Any Eastern team that wants to climb up has to pass them.

If this pass is easy, Penny doesn't have to leave Orlando, and Duncan doesn't need to leave Boston, so he doesn't have to be with Iverson.

The Pistons had a fierce confrontation with the 76ers, and finally gained the upper hand with home court advantage.

After the first quarter, 32 to 25, the Pistons led the 76ers by 7 points.

In the second quarter, the Pistons' lineup was Manu Ginobili, Houston, Davis, Lewis and Miller.

A lineup with little defense in the paint.

The strangest thing about this lineup is that Houston and Davis are teaming up again. Since the two had a conflict, Westphal deliberately separated them and didn't let them play together, but adjusted back tonight.

Although Davis and Houston didn't have much communication, they didn't do anything that harmed the interests of the team because they didn't like each other. The two took the initiative to cooperate on the court, which was very gratifying to see.

Although the Pistons lineup did not have an inside defense, it had a strong impact. Ginobili, who had the ball, began to tear the 76ers' outside line continuously.

Iverson couldn't sit still, and even if he could, Brown wouldn't let him sit still.

It was under Larry Brown's command that Iverson started the years of averaging 40 minutes per game. At this time, the score was opened by the opponent to 10 points. Neither he nor Brown will continue to look at it like this.

Iverson returned to the court.The score was 37 to 27.

Iverson scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up, 30 to 37.

His defensive problems are obvious, and Davis can see it clearly, allowing Ginobili to stop and break through, open up the space, and let Houston eat Iverson one-on-one.

The CIC king used his physical advantage to hit back a goal.

39 is better than 30
He forgot that his opponent was a mad dog, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit.Houston hits one on him and he's going to hit three back.

Duncan was not there, and Ratliff escorted Iverson. He was like those non-defensive scoring small forwards in the 80s.

Houston was obviously overwhelmed, and was once again swayed by Iverson's big change of direction, cutting to the left wing and scoring a jumper.

32 is better than 39
Coming back, Ginobili suddenly scored Davis for a long three-pointer and missed.

The 76ers' counterattack was blocked by Miller's foul before it even started.

Houston, who played the full first quarter, had some physical problems. Defending Iverson required him to make more runs than usual, but he didn't get more than usual in return.

I did a lot of running but couldn't prevent Iverson. Not only was my physical strength damaged, but I also had psychological problems.

Davis once again did something that both the coaching staff and Mo Mengchen wanted to see.

He took the initiative to step forward and switch defenses with Houston, and the two had no communication.The CIC king knew what to do was right, and now was not the time to lose face, so he gave up his position and let Davis and Houston match up.

Davis made his debut in the Pistons with defense and offense with the ball. Later, he gradually enriched various skills. Defense is still his foundation. It's just that in order to compete for the starting lineup this season, he did too many things that he shouldn't do.

Now he has returned to his old job. Although it is still an impossible task to defend Iverson, his height and physical fitness ensure that the defensive end can provide great pressure to the opponent at any time.

The direct impact of dealing with Iverson in this way is that it is difficult for Davis to make achievements on the offensive end, because he has to give his best on the defensive end.

Davis dogged Iverson, making him 4-for-8 from the field over the next four minutes.

Ginobili took advantage of the decline in Iverson's offensive efficiency and set off the defensive counterattack that the Pistons are best at.

Within 4 minutes, the Pistons once again opened the point difference to double digits, and this time the blue was better than the blue, and the point difference reached 13 points.

49 is better than 37
Letting Iverson play itself is to chase points, but it makes the situation more passive.

Brown called a timeout, replaced all the main players, and at the same time clarified the core of the attack on the field.

Iverson, who has no touch, retreated behind Duncan's attack sequence. From now on, every attack of the 76ers will pass Shifo's hands.

For the Pistons, Davis, Houston and Miller were replaced.

Mo Mengchen, Hill and Wallace were replaced.

The 76ers' opponent against Mo Mengchen was not Snow, but a soy sauce player named Kevin Ollie.

Although he is a soy sauce player, he has played in the NBA for 13 years. As a 193 cm combo guard, he has played for 13 teams in his 12-year NBA career. It can be said that he has left footprints in half of the United States.

What Mo Mengchen admired the most was his three-pointer.

I don’t know if Larry Brown is prejudiced against guards who can shoot three-pointers. If Snow’s three-pointers belong to the level that you don’t even need to look at, then this Ollie’s three-pointer.
Out of respect, Mo Mengchen only released him three meters away.

In every season of Ollie's career, he has made 0 three-pointers.

Against such a guy, defending against his three-pointers is not only an insult to him, but also an insult to the defender.

Brown hoped to let Duncan open the situation, but instead let Ollie, who has no three-point ability at all, control the court, so when they handed the ball to Duncan, Mo Mengchen was better than Fang Tangjing in "Nine Pins Sesame Official" cheap.

I came in to double-team you!I won't leave even if I kill you!

Ollie had no three-point threat at all. He stood alone opposite Duncan, expecting Shi Fu to pass the ball.

Duncan also knew what level of Ollie's three-pointer was, so he took the risk of being intercepted and played high.

Mo Mengchen's double-teaming is impeccable. The problem lies in Lewis defending Duncan. His single defense is worthy of Iverson's trash talk.

Smelly and rotten like shit.

Duncan stormed Lewis's goal, and first threw a shot that he didn't expect to hit in the face of the block, which resolved the double-team crisis. Four times, finally point the ball in.

39 is better than 49
Lewis looked at Mo Mengchen's ashen face, and was about to explain a few words.

Mo Mengchen waved his hand to signal him to shut up: "Every word you say is shit, don't explain it, your defense just sucks."

Lewis sadly picked up the ball on the ground and gave it to Mo Mengchen.

After halftime, Mo Mengchen handed the ball to Ginobili.

Careful fans have gradually discovered a phenomenon, that is, Ginobili's team status is gradually improving.

After the new year, due to the fracture of Jerome Williams' right hand, the Pistons' rotation is bound to be adjusted.Houston was hesitant about renewing his contract, and Davis refused to renew his contract. As a result, Ginobili's playing time increased from 15 minutes per game to 19 minutes per game.

Moreover, his performance has proven that he is a victim of the depth of the Pistons' terrifying lineup. If he is given more playing time, his shining points will also increase.

Ginobili played an eagle-style attack on the weak side. Led by him, he quickly broke through Iverson's single defense and penetrated like a virus.

At the moment he cut in, Ratliff and Duncan's defense approached together, but Yaodao had already prepared a countermeasure, and Hill, who slipped in from the other side through the back door, became the biggest beneficiary of this attack.

The Argentine's breakthrough took Optimus Prime of the 76ers away for him. After passing the ball, Devil Mountain made two strong steps and dunked backhand over the basket.

51 is better than 39
Oli's game has become difficult. Just now Mo Mengchen took a humiliating defense against him, but now he has changed his tricks.

He wanted to pass the ball to Duncan, but Mo Mengchen refused to let it go. The defense increased the pressure and forced Ollie to the other side.

Watching this scene, Brown almost vomited blood. He cursed and yelled off the court, which did not help the game. Ollie's position was pushed further and further outside, and he was about to lose room for maneuver.

By the time Ollie wanted to make a desperate breakthrough, he had no room for a breakthrough, and there were only two paths left.

False out of bounds or risky pass.

Anyone would choose the latter, because there is at least a glimmer of hope.

This is also the interesting thing about defensive traps. You think that pushing you to this point is already the limit of the opponent, but it is not.

The real limit is forcing you to pass the ball and then break it off.

Ollie's pass was robbed by the Pistons like a robber. Hill grabbed the ball and rushed forward quickly. Brown roared and asked the technical table for a timeout.

With Hill's counterattack dunk with a steal, the game was called off again.

This is the culprit of the 76ers.

There are superstars inside and outside, but as long as Iverson does not play the No. 1 position, their No. 1 position will be eaten alive by Mo Mengchen.

Iverson's offensive power as the No. 2 position is indeed fierce, but his figure is also destined to become the focus of the opponent's attack.

McGee at position 3 defends very well, but unfortunately, as a position 3, his body is biased towards position 2. When facing Hill, he will be beaten until his eyes are black.

If the strength of the No. 1 position can't keep up with Mo Mengchen, it's fine, at least he can dribble the ball across the half court and hand the ball to the two super giants, that's fine.

However, the Achilles heel of the two full-time No. 1 positions, Snow and Ollie, is the three-pointer.

Their three-pointers allowed Mo Mengchen to safely and boldly double-team Duncan. How comfortable it was, in the end, Duncan’s offense was useless because of the unlimited double-teams. The Pistons only needed to focus their firepower on Iverson. People will do.

Brown faced a huge problem, which he could solve with a few tweaks.

Let Iverson play back to the damn 1 position.

Historical results have proved that Iverson at the 2nd position is the strongest Iverson, but the problem now is that if he does not play the 1st position, the 76ers will be defeated by the Pistons.

At the same time, will Iverson and Duncan at the 1st position spark sparks or burst into a nest of ice cubes?
This is an unpredictable problem.
