The talent gap between the two sides makes the game very difficult, because as long as the Magic performs normally, the Pistons will be difficult to resist. If they want to win the game, Hardaway or O'Neal must have an malfunctioning performance.

Game 3 was held at Auburn Hill Palace, the Magic suppressed the Pistons in the whole game.

At the beginning, O'Neal's wild attack made them at a loss.

Otis Thorpe, who returned with a mask, performed poorly and was abandoned by Collins after losing three fouls on the defensive end.

For Collins, Thorpe's return with injury is of course of no value, but if it cannot bring positive help to the team, it can only be abandoned.

Then there was a big problem with Alan Houston's defense.

Hill's offense helped the Pistons hold up the game, and at least at the end of the first half, they still retained the spark of victory.

At that time, they were 10 points behind.

In the second half, Mo Mengchen's three-pointer gave fans greater hope, and no one expected that this was the last time they saw hope.

Next, Hardaway passed the half and scored three points above Momonchen's head.

Hill responded to the Central Blog.

Mo Mengchen's foul blocked the Magic's counterattack, but it attracted a more brutal blow.

O'Neal received the ball in a low post, knocked Terry Mills down and turned around and made a desperate two-handed dunk.

The ball disrupted the Pistons' mind. They wanted to stop O'Neal, but in the end they lost everything.

Hill thinks it is his fault because he did not make a central shot, which led to the Magic in turn making a counterattack. He hopes to devote his energy to the team.

The mentality of wanting to win and afraid of losing makes Hill attack with the ball again. This is Collins' most used tactic, and it is also the tactic that Pistons fans are the least used to.

After a season, they have been used to seeing a disciplined team. It is something fans don't want to see if they rely on Hill's personal ability to play singles like they do now.

When Hill has no feel, this way of playing will bring the team into the abyss.

Hill's continuous attack was unfavorable, and the Magic used this to fight back many times. In a blink of an eye, the score difference reached 17 points.

Collins requests a pause.

"Grant, I need you to see your teammates, not solve the problem by yourself!" Collins shouted.

Collins has always advocated that stars create opportunities for others, but now he has expressed this idea that is completely opposite to his coaching philosophy.

Hill listened to his words and began to pass the ball.

He first found Momonchen.

In the empty space, Mo Mengchen started a three-pointer and then made another move.

Is this the horn of the counterattack? No, it was a dying struggle, Houston's defense was out of place again, Denis Scott hit a three-pointer.

Hill continued to make the ball for Mo Mengchen, but unfortunately he couldn't keep such a good feel. He finally missed the shot, and under the interference of Hardaway.

Mo Mengchen missed the shot, Hardaway turned around and counterattacked, O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed a long pass, everything was so natural, and the flower of talent bloomed in Auburn Mountain.

"Their talent determines their height."

"This is a team that will be terrible in the future."

However, the Pistons' legend, Vinier Johnson, said this: "No, they are already scary now."

At the end of the game, the fans and players did not look at the scorer.

Because that's sad.

At home, the Pistons, who were originally full of hope, lost to the Magic 24 points.

O'Neal and Hardaway combined to score 75 points, 24 rebounds and 12 assists.

Mo Mengchen scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

This performance is excellent enough for the rookie, but his team lost 24 points, which makes his stats dull.

When we returned to the locker room, everyone was in a bad mood.

Mo Mengchen said nothing. Even if he was not polite to the old birds, after all, he was just a rookie.

If he had a bigger seniority, he would point out Hill's weakness at the critical moment, Houston's shit-like defense and the slack of others.

He can't do this because he's a rookie, they just experienced a crushing defeat, and the group is not ready to accept severe criticism, and if they speak at this time, there may be a completely different effect.

So Momonchen just took a shower and listened to Collins' summary.

Not opening his mouth is not his style.

But he was always patient, and he hoped he could hold it back.

Finally, he held back.

Sometimes, you just have to compromise on the status quo.

This is not suitable for criticism.

In the parking lot, Ephraim is waiting for Momontchen here.

Adrian did not come to the scene tonight because the atmosphere in the playoffs was more rude and had a bad impact on the children.

"You guys have a bad defense tonight."

When Ephraim talks about tonight's game, although she is not a senior fan, she can understand the game.

This is an obvious problem. If even new fans like Ephraim can understand it, their problems will be really serious.

"My fault, I didn't provide them with enough help on the defensive end," Mo Mengchen said.

"No, you're right, you've tried your best, it's Alan Houston, his defense doesn't seem to be playing in the playoffs." Ephraim pointed out the name directly.

"He was injured." Mo Mengchen said.

Ephraim asked, "Wait??"

"I don't know, but he must be injured, I can tell." Mo Mengchen said.

Ephraim asked, “Then why did he continue to fight?”

"He concealed this because he knew that if he said it, I wouldn't let him continue to fight, so he didn't say that this idiot would pay the price for it."

Mo Mengchen has never understood that players have injured games for some things, just like he cannot understand that Kobe has played for one year with injuries for the championship; just like he cannot understand that Bird has continued the final glory of Kai's team with back injury to support the team; just like he cannot understand that Bai Yidong chose to fight with injuries for one year in order to prevent the team from falling into a trough after four consecutive championships, so as to prevent the team from falling into a low point... He really couldn't understand before.

Why do everyone have to do this and use injury to prove their tenacity?

Now, he understood a little bit.

The battle is imminent, the team needs you, the city needs you, you need to give all yours, what do you do now?

What disturbed Momonchen was that he might not have given everything like Houston.

If someone asks him: "Have you fought hard in the playoffs?"

He couldn't answer: "Yes."

Because he really didn't joke about the future like Houston did.

"You must be very tired, go to bed early."

Ephraim gave Momonchen a good night kiss in front of the door of the room of 250.

Game4

The Pistons players form a circle in the player passage.

Hill said to Mo Mengchen, "Don't say a few words."

"The series has come to the last moment, and our lives are hanging on the line."

Mo Mengchen said: "We seem to be flustered and can't even tell the difference between instinct and fear. But there will be a voice in our hearts whispering - "I still have a chance, what else can I do." If you hear this voice, then you should follow your heart and do what you should do."

Mo Mengchen looked at the rosy people and said, "Let's win the game!"

“123!”

"The following is the best!"

“Pistons!”

"Bill, what did you see tonight?"

Johnson asked Walton.

Walton replied: "I saw a group of soldiers fighting back against Jedi; I saw an army that was imprisoned but unwilling to fail; I saw fighting spirit, I saw hope, and I saw their future."

This is the game tonight.

Magic is more talented than the Pistons, but in a desperate situation, their opponents burst out with unbelievable energy.

At the beginning, Mo Mengchen broke through Hardaway on the right, and after fighting O'Neal in the air, he advanced the ball in an extremely distorted posture, and the whole audience was worried about him.

When Mo Mengchen stood up, he shouted: "The following is the best!"

The whole audience was in full bloom!

This is no longer an inspirational slogan before the game, but a slogan for the whole game.

Whenever the Pistons score a goal, they can hear the "below" resounding throughout the game!
