Chapter 1045 Little devil
"Why pass the ball?"
Facing Mo Mengchen's questioning, Anthony's reaction was quite calm.
"I think you and Smash Parker are more confident than Kobe one-on-one," Anthony said calmly.
After hearing Anthony's explanation, Mo Mengchen's anger disappeared.
Because he knew that Anthony made the right choice, he wished that the other party would be responsible.
Anthony just wants to win, just like he will pass the ball to someone who is more confident.
Although Mo Mengchen knew that Anthony did right, he would not show it. He looked at Anthony with annoyance and said with a grudge: "I think about taking over the game every day. When will you grow up?"
Anthony believed that the characteristic of growing up was to learn to distinguish right from wrong. He thought he did right and wrong. As for why Mo Mengchen was angry, he didn't know.
Not arguing with my dad is the most appropriate solution.
This matter was put on hold. In the two games in Los Angeles, the Pistons won and lost one by one. Although it was a pity that they did not win all, they would not take things too seriously.
However, the media will not miss this opportunity to criticize Anthony and Curry.
Curry was squirted because he was beaten by Garnett.
Anthony was criticized because he took on the offensive responsibility for the whole night, but at the last moment he passed the ball to Mo Mengchen, seriously passing the blame.
At the press conference after the competition, the reporter asked this question.
Anthony attended the press conference with Momonchen, and his answer to the question was cold and stiff: "I will not regret any decision I made."
Since the melon turned into bitter melon, Anthony's whole body has changed.
Not only is he not close to others within the team, he is also a difficult person to get along with. No media is willing to interview someone who says tough words with a bad face and has no content.
The deterioration of relations with the media is also one of the reasons why Anthony is often criticized by public opinion.
This response tonight is a true portrayal of his tension in the media.
When asked about the same question, the answers I got were completely different.
"That's the team's tactics. I'm sure I'm more sure about Smash Parker than Cameron's Bryant." Mo Mengchen brought out Anthony's original words, "It's just that I didn't grasp the key attack, so I'm responsible for this loss."
Mo Mengchen gave the media the information they dug deep and frankly took responsibility. This is the interview object that the media likes.
Just because of his attitude, the media naturally had to whitewash Mo Mengchen the next day. Even if Anthony's pass was a tactic, they would have to question it.
For example, "Even if it is a tactic, do you, Tanhualang, have no idea at all when you hit a critical moment? Kobe dares to rush to take action at critical moments in his rookie season. What about you?"
Without responsibility, without a big heart, lack of killer instinct, without dor.mo, you won't be able to play games...
The media will blackmail Anthony tonight until the day the All-Star Weekend will arrive based on his performance.
"That's not a tactic, why not tell the truth?" Anthony asked when he returned to the locker room.
"You have made a good decision at all." Mo Mengchen said slowly, "I feel very comforted."
If we follow the so-called dor.mo praise system of Lore, this sentence just now should be considered a tactful praise.
Strangely, Anthony wasn't happy at all: "That's it?"
"That's it." Mo Mengchen walked forward.
The next day, the Pistons took a special plane to Seattle for the third away game.
On this day, Anthony was attacked by crazy media.
Curry was not much better either. The media believed that they lacked the determination and ability to succeed Mo Mengchen and Hill. Anthony's behavior of passing Mo Mengchen at critical moments was even seen as a cowardly act of "having used to asking for help from adults."
"For Dor.mo, the defending champion will be more difficult than in the past, because he led two seriously immature young men."
"Yes, I guess he will miss Rashid and Grant more than ever now."
It is hard to say whether Mo Mengchen misses Hill and Rashid. The only thing people can see is the supersonic defeat.
The Pistons, who were defeated by the Lakers and were furious, turned to Seattle. After landing, they hit 140 points on the supersonic that night, and hang up the unlucky supersonic with a 42-point advantage, then turned around and left.
There are five games left before the All-Star Weekend. The opponents with only one game in these five games are slightly weaker, while the other four are tough.
The five teams include 76ers, the Rockets, Cavaliers and Knicks, four playoff teams.
The 76ers and the Knicks are still the Pistons' rivals, and the Cavaliers are even a weakened version of the Running and Booming Pistons.
The Rockets' strength is difficult to determine. The wing lineup formed by Pierce and Houston was originally quite competitive, but in recent years, the CET has suffered serious injuries and played few times. Mo Mengchen originally wanted to take surgery for Houston, but he declined because the team was generally responsible for the injury to the player's game. The Rockets do not want to entrust the fate of the team's general to the best surgeon in the world.
Although Houston's surgery was successful, his recovery after the operation was not ideal. After his comeback, he was injured continuously. During the Pistons, he became a Glass Man on the Rockets.
As a Glass man, he still has the highest salary in the team. Rockets owner Alexander hated him so much that he couldn't help but boo him. Rockets fans couldn't help but boo him.
In this case, the Rockets can only rely on Pierce. Pierce is unable to support him, and the Rockets led by him are just a team on the edge of the playoffs.
The Pistons returned to home court and actively prepared for the game.
The first person to visit Pierce's Rockets. The Pistons easily extinguished the Rockets and won two consecutive victories.
Starting with this, four consecutive home games, except for the anxiety of the Knicks, they easily won all the other two games.
In the battle with the Knicks, 33-year-old Mo Mengchen and 35-year-old Penny competed in a triple-double. The lack of talented New York giants collapsed in the final quarter and were taken away by the Pistons with a counterattack.
After the game, Mo Mengchen and Penny chatted for a few words.
The two have fought for more than ten years, and now Penns are like the second Patrick Ewing. Although they can play brilliant numbers and have brought the team to the division finals, the Pistons are like the Bulls of that year, blocking them again and again.
Jordan's shadow envelops Ewing, and the Bull's iron hooves tread through Apple City.
Momontex and penny's fate are exactly the same.
The comparison between Momonchen and Penny, at the earliest, Momonchen was a chaser. If someone compares these two people, the media supporting Penny will swear to the point of being embarrassed. Although Momonchen can always win the championship, Penny supporters never think that this is the strength gap between the two sides.
Starting from the new century, the argument began to change.
When Momonchen won the first single-season double MVP and his momentum officially reached its peak, Penny supporters had to accept the fact that these two people could be compared.
But as Mo Mengchen's championships won more and more, their accumulated honors have widened multiple positions.
Nowadays, Mo Mengchen's supporters only compare Jordan with him. Penny Hardaway? Where did the cat and dog come from dare to compare with Dor.mo?
The Pistons have one game left to usher in the All-Star Weekend.
The opponent is the 76ers in the Eastern Conference.
When Duncan joined the 76ers, they were called Dongmen Ok, and everyone was looking forward to their attack on the Pistons' throne.
The Western Ok has become a passing cloud, and the Eastern Ok has been defeated for years, and no one has expected them to shake the dominance of the pistons.
Others forget it, they won't.
Neither Duncan nor Iverson will forget why they got together. They should have led a team to achieve their dominance. If they were not beaten by the Pistons, they would not have been able to fight against four hands with two fists, and they would not have risked being teased.
That night, the 76ers gave the Pistons a playoff-level encounter.
"Does these guys really play like this before the All-Star Weekend arrive?" Ranbill couldn't understand.
Ten seconds before the end of the game, Iverson made a key three-pointer, helping the 76ers tie.
Mo Mengchen failed to make a buzzer and the game entered overtime.
In overtime, Duncan made Curry leave the court with all his offenses. Seeing that the 76ers were about to take the initiative, Mo Mengchen led the ball into the basket in the next round, facing Shi Fo, who was also in charge of five, with a violent hit.
Duncan left the scene with all crimes.
The game turned into a difficult tug-of-war, and the first overtime was finished, and the two sides tied again.
In the second overtime, Momonchen and Iverson started to compete from the beginning.
The two who refused to give in to each other scored 60 points at the same time, but the game entered the third overtime.
"A three-overtime battle, 60 points, is there any more exciting game than this?"
"It's not the playoffs, but it surpasses the playoffs!"
This was the last overtime game. When Momonchen handed the ball to Anthony and asked him to solve the game, he chose to return the ball back.
He is used to doing this.
This is not a evasion of responsibility, nor is it a shirk responsibility. He just habitually handed the ball to dor.mo at critical moments.
Just like what the others of the Pistons did.
Once you enter a desperate situation, hand the ball to Dor.mo, and he will lead the team to break the desperate situation and launch a counterattack.
"They are right. You are just a little devil who only finds adults when encountering problems." Mo Mengchen said to Anthony.
Mo Mengchen didn't plan to let Anthony escape, nor could he escape.
In order to block Mo Mengchen, the 76ers gave up their defense against others. They thought that Mo Mengchen, who had hit the third overtime, had his eyes red and could not see his teammates.
In the third overtime, Mo Mengchen passed the ball four times in succession, and the receivers were Anthony.
He stood in the open position and made four three-pointers, making three of four shots, and the Pistons also defeated the 76ers in the third overtime, winning the difficult game.
Mo Mengchen, who played 40 minutes in regular time and played three overtimes, played 55 minutes in the game, finally scored 62 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists. He looked at Anthony and said, "It's not that difficult to let you take action at a critical moment, kid."
