Chapter 330: The wind is not smooth
In mid-December, the Pistons scored a brutal 128-90 game, and the Dead was one of the strong teams in the East.
That night, all thirteen people on the Pistons activation list appeared, Mo Mengchen and Hill played for 27 minutes before getting off work.
Even so, Hill still easily scored a triple-double with 18 points, 1 rebound, 10 assists, and Mo Mengchen also scored a quasi-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists.
There is another quirky data, that is, Barkley, Ratliff, Wallace, Williams, Lauderdale and others have only 8 defensive rebounds, of which Barkley alone has five.
"I want to praise my teammates. We have a total of 21 indirect rebounds tonight, 17 of which were created by the inside. They are the most selfless teammates in the world."
Hill took the initiative to propose the concept of indirect rebounding to the outside world.
"What is an indirect rebound?" the reporter asked.
Hill said lightly: "Using one's own body to block the position and help others get rebounds is indirect rebounds. This may be a statistics of our original creation, but I think this data is of epoch-making significance."
After this data was put forward, the mainstream view was not recognized.
Among them, several retired old-school players, such as Kangaroo Boy Billy Cningham: "In my time, if there were any guards who dared to compete with the inside, they would definitely be elbow-taking. We don't care who you are!"
Including Chamberlain, the most unique player in ancient times, also expressed his point of view: "I am increasingly unable to understand basketball today. I don't have rebounds in the interior. I also help the outside line to get the rebounds we have worked hard to get? This group of people are proud of? Are they playing basketball?"
"If it's for victory, all sacrifices are worth it, as long as you can win."
Bill Russell, who can almost nickname the winner, also commented on the matter.
"Indirect rebounds? I heard that on the Pistons, the person who won the most indirect rebounds has the bonus? Oh my God, this is no longer basketball. This is a shameless movement initiated by the Pistons to create stars! Yes, of course they can do this. Doro and Grant Hill can get many triple-doubles, and it is not impossible to copy the average triple-double of the big O, but what does that mean? Can they stand shoulder to shoulder with the great big O? It's ridiculous!" espn's columnist Thomas Sarez wrote an extremely fierce criticism article online.
For a time, public opinion was very unfriendly to the Pistons.
So much so that Hill was shaken.
"Flash data? I flick data? I firmly refuse to admit this view!" Hill shouted.
Mo Mengchen practiced shooting on a remote field, and even here he could hear Hill's screams.
He is practicing shooting, not a fixed-point shot, but a three-pointer.
Prest Lauderdale is helping him pass the ball.
"Da Pu, what do you think about this matter?" Mo Mengchen asked.
Lauderdale only knows that he has two indirect rebounds per game now and can at least hold a fifth prize.
Among the six inside players in the team, only Barkley does not need indirect rebounds. One is because he is not short of money, and the other is because his long pass allows him to win the rebound and find his teammates in the frontcourt.
"Many years ago, there was no twenty-four-second offensive violation for basketball games. At that time, everyone was playing ugly basketball. If someone told them that in the future, each offensive round would only be twenty-four seconds, what would they think?" Lauderdale had a stupid face, but what he said made sense. "I think those people will definitely criticize the basketball game of the twenty-four-second offensive era just like people today."
Mo Mengchen was not so arrogant that he could tie the inside line and pick up rebounds on the outside line, which was a landmark rule of 24 seconds offense. Without this rule, basketball might have been dead.
That's a rule to save basketball.
The inside line is stuck and the outside line picks up rebounds. To put it bluntly, it is to allow the ball holder to advance quickly.
If there are many passers in the team, this problem will not exist.
The criticism from the outside world may not be unreasonable, because once this strategy is used too much, it will evolve into the golden rule of data brushes. Some guys who have no ability to pass the game will get the inside line in the name of speeding up the pace, easily pick up rebounds, and can easily score a triple-double per game at any time to pay tribute to the big os.
Mo Mengchen did not want to make this tactic the norm. He is currently playing like this because these insiders are reckless, and Barkley has fine hands, but on the defensive end, his assisted defense is not as powerful as Ratliff and others, so he naturally has to expand outside, so the defensive rebounds are likely to fall into the hands of Ratliff and others.
This is a last resort.
Mo Mengchen continued to practice shooting, and Lauderdale was a caddie without regrets.
With so many inside players on the team, Lauderdale is the one with the least status. Everyone else has the chance to play in regular time, but he is a garbage time symbol whose appearance means that the game has ended.
The piston ran away and bombed, which was completely incompatible with his cover.
The embarrassing thing is that with his ability, even if he doesn't play, he won't get much playing time.
But Momonchen repeatedly asked Osgus to keep Lauderdale.
He does not have the ability to turn waste into treasure, and it is impossible for Lauderdale to become a super center, but he has the foresight as a time traveler.
The era of ok is coming, and it is undoubtedly their biggest rival in the future.
Facing O'Neal, do you expect Big Ben or Ratliff to make the meat shield? Of course not, they need someone with a height, tonnage and strength to run with O'Neal.
Lauderdale, which is currently 155 kg, is very suitable.
"Da Pu, has any European team invited you?" Mo Mengchen asked.
Lauderdale did not deny: "Yes, and the wages are not low."
"Why not go?" If Lauderdale wanted to leave, the team would never keep him. He was an optional player.
Lauderdale said proudly: "I have higher pursuits."
"Have you ever thought of changing a team that can play in the game?" Mo Mengchen asked casually.
"Dad, am I going to be traded?" Lauderdale was shocked.
Mo Mengchen calmly resolved his nervousness: "I just asked casually, you have no market conditions at all, don't worry."
Hearing this, Lauderdale didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Because I have a pursuit," Lauderdale said.
I believe it.
Because if he doesn't pursue it, he should go to Ba and become the enemy of Yao and Wang Zhizhi, and by the way, let the two most talented stars in China see what the NBA-level insider looks like.
In terms of ability, Lauderdale is the level of a water dispenser in the NBA, but his size and position are destined to have a devastating dominance in low-level leagues.
With a height of 224 cm and a weight of 155 kg, who can stop this era?
The Pistons' winning streak continues.
They won from the beginning of December to the middle of the month.
The Heat gave them the third loss of the season.
But their record is still strong enough to ignore the pursuers behind them.
22 wins and losses.
"We lose. If we want to laugh, just laugh. The selfish team and the brush team finally lost."
Mo Mengchen used the moment of losing to mock the commentators and legendary players who kept attacking them.
"You guys only scored 92 points tonight, which is far below your average this season, why?"
"For obvious reasons, the curse of the critics came true." Mo Mengchen joked, "I believe they pray every time we shoot: don't go in, don't go in."
The laughter on the scene gradually increased.
Even if he lost the game, Mo Mengchen was not affected.
"This failure is not surprising. The season is long and we have to lose some games. We gave up our struggle early tonight."
In fact, they only lost 1 point.
But Mo Mengchen's humor still made the reporters quite fond of it.
They have a game before Christmas.
The opponent is Orlando Magic, led by Penny Hardaway and this year's second-tier show, Van Horn, who is known as Bird II. The season has been a stumble and stumbling so far.
Penns averaged 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Van Horn also had 19 points, 5 rebounds and assists above the level, but the Magic always won one game and lost one game.
They can't even guarantee the playoffs.
But Penny is still very young, he is only 26 years old and has a lot of room for growth. However, last season, the team concealed his injuries from him for the sake of his record, and almost seriously injured him. A very deep crack appeared in the relationship between the two sides.
If they can win, it will naturally be no problem. Now they can't even guarantee the playoffs, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference, and they are about to dive into the lottery zone again. How can Penns bear this?
Before reuniting with the Pistons, the Magic lost to the Lakers led by O'Neal on the away game.
Seeing his former partner enjoying the most delicious and spicy food on another team, looking up, they were all star-level teammates, Penny’s mood can be imagined.
When the Magic even renewed his contract for him, he even made things difficult for O'Neal. He tried his best to force the Shark to Los Angeles. It was considered a perfect merit. Now he has a crack with the penny again, and with the repeated losses, the conflict is getting more and more intense.
Think about the summer of the following year, Penns will become completely unrestricted free agents, and the Magic's management will definitely feel ache.
The safest way is to reach a contract renewal with pennies during the season, otherwise if pennies are allowed to enter the free market
Mo Mengchen was a participant in the incident of Penns falling out with the Magic. He informed Penns of his injury and convinced him to give up last season's game, and the Magic also got the second pick.
The thorn that has survived to this day finally exerted its terrible power.
However, Mo Mengchen did not care about the situation of Magic and Penny. He only knew that after playing tonight, no matter how good or bad his attribute score would reach 200,000.
Thinking of this, he was in a good mood. When he saw the sad penny, he smiled so much that his other party thought he was gloating.
"Long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Mo Mengchen asked with a smile.
It's definitely a joke about me!
Penny glared at him in anger, ignored Mo Mengchen and held Hill's hand.
Mo Mengchen had no time to think about something, but just grabbed Van Horn's hand in an instant, which did not make things evolve to the most embarrassing level.
Hill said sarcastically: "Aren't you friends? Why didn't he shake hands with you?"
