Chapter 117 It's just the beginning(1/2)
In the fifth minute of the second quarter, Dumas flew on a layup and caused O'Neal to foul and prepared to go to the free throw line.
Collins turned around and said to Momonchen and Lor, "Go on the field."
At this time, the magic also makes corresponding adjustments.
O'Neal and Anthony Poway under, Joe Wolf and Hardaway under.
On the Pistons, Mo Mengchen and Lore replaced Hill and Houston, two aces. In the past few minutes, they failed to recover the score.
The score difference on the field is 50 to 32, and the Pistons are still 18 points behind.
If Dumas makes both free throws, they have a chance to get some back.
Lor seemed to be worried. The reason why Collins believed him was because Mo Mengchen made a guarantee. His words: "Every time" made Collins feel that this was the view of the two of them. If it were just his opinion, Collins would not necessarily adopt it with the confidence he showed. But when Mo Mengchen stood on his side, Collins would even choose to believe Mo Mengchen if he doubted it.
But there are risks, what if he is wrong?
Mo Mengchen seemed to have a mind reading technique and said to Lore before the game started: "No matter whether your suggestions are correct or not, at least you have provided a suggestion that can be implemented. Without your suggestions, we can only stay in place. Let us implement this plan now."
Lor took a deep breath, and no matter what, he didn't want to disappoint Mo Mengchen.
"Okay!" Lor said heavily.
Momonchen and Dumas were present at the same time, and the Pistons had two engines.
"Mo, does the coach have any instructions?" Dumas asked.
Mo Mengchen said, "Call the pick-and-roll and chase penny."
"So rough?" Dumas' thick neck choked up after hearing it.
Mo Mengchen nodded and said no more.
After the meeting, Dumas made two free throws on the free throw line.
34 to 50
"Do you feel frustrated? After all, you are so many points behind?"
Hardaway was very calm. His personality was just like his way of playing, elegant, casual, and didn't care about risks.
He is a very casual person and doesn't like to make changes on his own initiative.
Even though he was frequently injured later, he did not change his playing style after losing the strength of a star. Even though he was old, he still did not have the smell of old ball skin. This is why he retired early because he did not change.
Many geniuses who have suffered severe injuries will transform, such as Ross, Livingston, and Carter. Only he remains unchanged and maintains his coquettish style forever.
This is also the reason why many old fans mentioned that he would miss it very much, because he is like white chocolate. There is no tall point guard in NBA history who is very physically compatible, comprehensive but supernatural, and light-hearted.
His fall is a regret for the NBA.
Now, he doesn't regard Momonchen as an opponent. Looking at O'Neal's substitute, Wolf from North Carolina, he hangs the ball in.
Wolf was the first player to prove that Jordan had a poor vision for the draft. In the 1987 draft, the Bulls had two signings at that time. Jordan suggested that Klaus choose Wolf because he stubbornly felt that the people from North Carolina were as good as him and would never be bad.
Fortunately, Klaus didn't believe his evil at the beginning, otherwise it would have been a bit of a word whether the Bulls had three consecutive championships.
Mo Mengchen's biggest impression of this person was not this past event, but his name - Wolf, which means wolf, which made him unable to help but think of the nickname of the protagonist in "The Bull Heroes".
Wolf showed off his ancestral back from North Carolina, and made an elegant turnaround and shot two points directly on Ratliff's head.
Ratliff really has no choice but to do this ball. He is not the blocking king that fans later know later. He is just a rookie with outstanding blocking ability. He has no confrontation and no experience. He doesn't have many ways to deal with the old Qiupi's small moves.
"What do you think you can do? You are all so many points behind."
When Dumas was present, Mo Mengchen was in the second position, and his height and shooting skills allowed him to take this position.
Anderson talked a lot of trash, and Mo Mengchen didn't have time to pay attention to him because he just wanted to know what Lor's proposal was.
According to Mo Mengchen, Dumas is now going to grab the penny and beat him up. He first called the pick-and-roll, and then broke through with one step.
Wolf's pace could not keep up, and the slackness Hardaway showed when he encountered a pick-and-roll was shocking.
The feeling of Shengshen Liuzhi seemed to have no idea how to deal with the pick-and-roll. His attitude towards his opponent's pick-and-roll is to give up, rather than to confront him to the end.
Dumas easily surpassed Wolf, and then, a signature Du-style high-level game to recover 2 points for the team.
"nice shot!"
Hill shouted.
Collins was very eye-catching about this round, yes, it worked.
He is right again.
To be honest, Collins hopes Momonchen is wrong once. As long as he is wrong, even if Collins doesn't exaggerate this matter, it will be enough to kill him.
He is just a rookie now, so he is already like this. If you give him a few more years, can anyone call him?
Collins thinks very terrified. Jordan is undoubtedly a typical player of hardliners, but he comes from North Carolina and from Dean Smith's account.
The great Dean Smith taught Jordan to respect authority, so even if the flying man had distracting thoughts, he would not point fingers at the coach. He would obey, at least he would not mess around on the surface.
When coaching the Bulls, Collins didn't have this feeling of emptiness.
And now, he has it.
It was brought by that person.
Collins stared at No. 9 on the field.
He has such a player under his command. No matter how great the team achieves, as a coach, he does not have much feelings because he feels that it is not him who coaches the team, but Mo Mengchen.
"Why can't you make a mistake once, Mo?"
Collins sighed.
Hardaway didn't want to get entangled with Dumas. The opponent's pick-and-roll made him feel uncomfortable. It was nothing, they were so many points ahead.
Penny finds Anderson to pass the ball.
Anderson joined the team at the beginning of the Magic's team building. He can be said to be a meritorious official. Although he smashed the team's fighting spirit in the finals with zero four free throws, the fans finally chose to forgive him.
As a forward guard, he has a strong ability to hold the ball in one hand. For Mo Mengchen, it is impossible to defend him.
The breakthrough was just in an instant, and Anderson took a step like a machete that broke through Mo Mengchen's defense.
Mo Mengchen did not stick to the end. Once he couldn't defend himself, he would give the defender to others, and he quickly turned to the position before the opponent made the ball.
At present, he needs his teammates to help him make up for the gaps on the defensive end.
Ratliff's assisted defense could do this, and he rushed out again, trying to block Anderson.
Anderson's offense has not yet been fully started, and Wolf passed the ball in the air.
The North Carolina center, who was caught by Jordan at first sight, tried his best to score a dunk.
"This bullshit defense can't stop me at all!" Anderson yelled at Mo Mengchen.
Dumas asked, "Do you need to change your defense?"
"Give me the ball." Mo Mengchen said.
Dumas only said that he was angry with Anderson, and said he was cautious and then served him.
Anderson's trash words sounded like cicadas in summer to Mo Mengchen, and they were meaningless.
He just wants to continue to confirm whether Hardaway is really helpless with the pick-and-roll.
It's hard to imagine a talented player like him struggling so hard against a pick-and-roll.
This is a fatal weakness.
Mo Mengchen was also afraid of pick-and-roll. What he feared was that he could not bypass the cover wall, and he was too thin.
Hardaway is not the case. His attitude towards the pick-and-roll is like a patient who has given up treatment, with his face "It's over, I'm dead", as if he will explode on the spot as soon as he is wrapped around the pick-and-roll.
A pick-and-roll from Lore made Momonchen's defender replace Denis Scott.
Then, Mo Mengchen called another pick-and-roll, and the defender became Hardaway again.
Within two seconds, it was still a pick-and-roll.
Hardaway is going crazy. Is this person sick? There are a few pick-and-rolls? Three pick-and-rolls! Are you here to play pick-and-roll? Go in and fight!
At this moment, Mo Mengchen passed the ball to Lore, who stepped over Hardaway, who had lost confidence and scored at the basket.
"Damn it, just hit him like that!"
The others on the Pistons also found the problem. Penns saw the pick-and-roll like those women who hated snakes and rats, and when they saw these creatures, their legs and feet were weak.
The Magic didn't care much.
I don’t even see how many points they are leading, so what if I ask you to play against your weaknesses?
Lor was extremely excited. He was right. He discovered this problem and Mo Mengchen also recognized it. They also gave the suggestions to the coach, which eventually became a targeted tactic on the court.
To him, the meaning of this matter is extraordinary.
"You are right." Mo Mengchen said to Lor.
Lor nodded heavily: "Yes, I know I'm right."
"You need to be more confident." Mo Mengchen arrived.
