The first thousand and sixty chapters continue to heat up
game1, the Pistons lost unexpectedly, and everyone thought the Knicks had a chance this year.
This feeling lasted only two days.
game2, Mo Mengchen scored a triple-double, and the Pistons scored a goal at home.
Even if the Pistons win, the outside world is very happy because being able to steal home advantage from the Pistons is already a success for the Knicks, who is already at an absolute disadvantage.
In the third battle, the battlefield was transferred to Madison Garden.
The Knicks used the same strategy, focusing on one, one, four, and four.
But tonight, Mo Mengchen's far-pitching feel was unusually good. Once his feel was good, Curry no longer looked like a fool and only knew how to eat cakes at the basket.
Mo Mengchen's performance is the weather vane of the piston. As long as he does not perform properly, the piston is the king's army that dominates the east.
The Knicks' strategy of replicating the first game was naturally wanted to replicate the success of the first game, but the Pistons did not give him a chance.
Because the Knicks' strategy is the same, Camby has always been watching Mo Mengchen, and Mo Mengchen has to reduce the breakthrough.
The difference is that all three-pointers missed in the first quarter were made tonight.
Same strategy, different results.
Game1's victory cannot be reproduced tonight.
"dor.mo made 10 of 11 shots tonight, and the Knicks lost at home."
The result of the home defeat was that the Pistons led 2-1 with a big score, and the home advantage that the Knicks had worked hard to win no longer exists.
In the fourth game, the Knicks fought bloody battles.
Same strategy.
Although this strategy will be difficult to work as long as it feels good when Mo Mengchen feels, this is a way to effectively reduce Mo Mengchen's actions.
In order to control Mo Mengchen's shots, the Knicks need to use the strength of the entire team.
In the fourth game, on this basis, Hardaway asked Mo Mengchen to conduct a large number of singles.
The offense is left to Hardaway and the defense is left to the whole team.
This is how the Knicks have been stalemate with the Pistons.
After halftime, the two sides were so angry that they were both red and they could not keep the opponent away.
If you play like this, you will be the depth of the lineup between both sides.
The 35-year-old Hardaway was unable to maintain the efficiency of the opening game in the fourth quarter, but Mo Mengchen was able to revitalize the entire team through passing.
First, he broke through the defense line one-on-one and gave Anthony a three-pointer to the outside.
Hardawaya started a one-on-one fight and missed the jump shot from the emergency stop.
Mo Mengchen grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked with one-stop dunk.
The Knicks were defended until 24 seconds and missed again.
Mo Mengchen grabbed another defensive rebound and made a long pass from Ginobili. The Argentine gave up two points, chose three-pointers, pulled up directly, and hit a three-pointer.
This game that concerns the fate of the Knicks was taken away in one wave.
114 to 102
The Knicks lost two consecutive home games and were won by the Pistons in three consecutive games. Now they have stood on the edge of the cliff and the match point falls into the hands of the Pistons.
"Before this, there were only three major reversals in the history of the semi-finals that were 1-3 behind."
"In the past eight years, the Pistons have repeatedly scored their opponents into a 3-1 despair. Only a few teams can win one game back, most teams were eliminated in Game 5, and none dragged the game into Game 7."
The commentator on the scene talked about some records that were extremely unfavorable to the Knicks.
The leader of the Knicks, Penny Hardaway, who averaged 30 points in the semi-finals, said unyieldingly: "Before the end of the series, speculation is meaningless. Back to seven years ago, no one would believe that the Pistons can win the championship in the seven years after that. They did it, and we can do it too!"
"The spirit of New York is with us!"
May 17, 2006.
Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
When the Western Conference's powerful men fell into a deadly battle, the Pistons were preparing to end the series and advanced to the division finals with their heads raised.
In the player channel, Mo Mengchen saw the players laughing at him and wanted him to say a few words.
"I have nothing to say." Mo Mengchen stood among them, "I plan to end the semi-finals tonight."
“yes!”
"Very good!" Mo Mengchen stretched out his hand, "I'm glad to reach an agreement with you!"
After saying that, Mo Mengchen and his teammates entered the field.
The Pistons won these three consecutive games, but only informed the fans on the scene from the side that the first game was just an accident.
dor.mo occasionally naps, and the Pistons team is rarely abnormal and cannot represent anything.
At the beginning, the Knicks also did something surprising.
They are like bulls in the first round, knowing that they have no hope, and they fight with all their might.
Their iron blood flowed from the east, and what was revealed in the competition was the coldness of the last century.
Even if you can't compete, you will have to make it difficult for you to advance.
The Knicks increased the intensity of the game infinitely, and at the beginning of the game, it turned into a suffocating tug-of-war.
For three minutes, neither side scored.
On the Pistons, they tried every scoring point, and even Mo Mengchen scored a three-pointer with one-on-one goal. The ball flew out and the Pistons quickly retreated.
"Three minutes passed, the 0-0 start was a surprise, and I was a little worried about the game," said Ranbir. "Will they not score an unprecedented 0-point score in a single quarter?"
This is obviously impossible.
On the side of the Knicks, he handed the ball to the totem-level figure - Penny Hardaway. He faced Momonchen and launched an attack from the right wing.
Since the Knicks give high-intensity confrontation, the Pistons will not be polite.
Fairness is mutual. The Knicks can play such a confrontation, and the Pistons can do it. If they really want to play a confrontation, the one who suffers must be pennies, and his physical strength cannot withstand such consumption.
Penns had difficulty breaking through the defense line and did not want to try a difficult shot, so they had to pass the ball to Quentin Richardson. He was still unable to escape under the cover of Ginobili.
It was the Knicks' All-Star center Brandra who went to the high post to make a mid-range shot to break the deadlock.
2 to 0
"Thank God, someone finally scored!"
The wonder of the basketball court is that the deadlock is always mutual. Once someone breaks the deadlock, the other side will also break it. This is a wonderful contagion.
Brand scored with his front foot and Momonchen dribbled with the ball. Hardaway's defense did not stand at the position, so he took a three-pointer after catching up.
3 to 2
The pressure on the defensive end was first picked up by the Knicks, and the Pistons took the initiative to enter this rhythm.
They have seen too many challengers, each of which has a highly valued ace tactic, which has caused trouble to the pistons, but in the end they are learned and dealt with the challengers in turn.
The Knicks are devoted to putting pressure on the pistons, and in turn, the pistons can put pressure on them.
5 to 2
The Knicks were defended to a mistake.
7 to 2
Hardaway missed the shot and was seized by Mo Mengchen to fight back.
9 to 2
Brand's low post offense was intercepted by the Pistons, and Mo Mengchen counterattacked and gave Anthony a dunk.
The defensive pressure beyond imagination came instantly, and the Knicks did not expect the Pistons to put such pressure on them in advance.
After the timeout, the Knicks chose to pull the strong side and released a large space for Hardaway to fight one-on-one.
Hardaway has lost his explosive starting speed, and he now feels the feeling of Mo Mengchen facing him for the first time.
What should I do when I meet someone who is faster than you, heavier than you, and more athletic than you?
Fortunately, Hardaway is not completely without an advantage.
Height is a talent that will not disappear. Hardaway's years of game experience helped him, and he changed directions continuously, causing him to shake out the gap from Mo Mengchen's defense. As long as this gap is used, he immediately got up and threw it.
A throw shot that flew past his fingertips, hit the rebound and bounced into the basket.
4 to 9
"I won't let you win the game easily," Hardaway said to Momonchen.
Fortunately, we didn't think we could easily win this game from the beginning.
Hardaway saw Mo Mengchen dribbling into the frontcourt, and then pulled the ball away from the strong side and passed it to Anthony in the low post.
The piston has too many weapons.
Anthony leaned gently on his opponent, turned around and shot, 11-4.
Hardaway held the ball and attacked again. This time Mo Mengchen didn't ask to completely defend him, blocked his right hand in a targeted manner, and let go of his left hand. Hardaway had no technical blind spots. Mo Mengchen gave him such a chance, so he had no reason not to kill in, but what was waiting for him was Curry, the human mountain.
After the confrontation, the Pistons counterattacked again.
The opening rhythm completely fell into the hands of the Pistons.
Chapter completed!
