Chapter 355: A good horse is a bad horse

Judging from the hit rate, Mo Mengchen's touch was not very good tonight, so he deliberately reduced his shots in the second half.

This seems reasonable, and Alan Houston's outbreak makes his slightly conservative choice more natural.

No one will pay special attention to how many points a player who is not good at scoring will get tonight, except for his fans.

Mo Mengchen's fans felt frustrated when they saw him passing the ball again and again. They were not professional fans and could not appreciate the benefits brought by passing. Scoring is everything about this sport.

This understanding cannot be said to be wrong, because no matter how basketball develops, as long as the goal mechanism is still there, it is a sport that can compare who scores more. It is understandable that fans like to watch the score.

In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Alan Houston ran out from the weak side, with extremely fast speed and easy steps, and got a pass.

The defender of him took a little slower and accidentally hit him in order to block it.

A rough foul failed to change his shooting posture.

Houston jumped into the sky, aimed at the basket, and slowly made a move. Everything solidified. His shooting feel was so soft.

"Swish!"

"The ball is effective, and there are additional penalties!"

"It seems to be Alan Houston Night tonight, and he is completely unstoppable!"

Houston also clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, hoping that he would look as domineering as Jordan, who beat the Jazz in the finals last year.

With this goal, the Pistons' lead expanded to 9 points.

80 to 71, and Houston still has a chance to widen the gap to double digits, as long as he can seize the penalty.

This game is like a roller coaster, and fans have times of comfort and distress.

The Celtics lead by up to 16 points. Duncan proves that he is a real superstar. However, the explosion in one quarter or two quarters cannot dominate the entire game, and Duncan is not the kind of superstar who can set the tone on both offense and defense.

He can complete the tasks assigned to him by his coach with ease. This is the case for the rookie season, but it may still be the case in ten years.

But it would be an unrealistic wish to expect him to beat the opponent's inside line like O'Neal.

Stable, he has always been very stable.

Stable performance also means that he lacks great changes, and the energy he bursts out rarely is unexpected.

Duncan has tried his best to lead the team to lead the Pistons in the first half, but when his opponent turns around and fights back, they have no resistance.

The Celtics' lineup is not as strong as expected, and the combination of Stone Buddha and Fat Head Tuo is more like Duncan accommodates Walker.

Judging from the achievements of these two people later, such a move is ridiculous.

Houston was preparing for a free throw, while Frauses replaced Momonchen, who had played for eight minutes in the third quarter.

Including the third quarter, Mo Mengchen is currently playing for 19 minutes tonight, scoring 10 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, a very economical triple-double.

The 10-point gap is not big. If the Celtics play a little better next, it will not be difficult to get it back. If the game is not good, such as a few more mistakes, or Antoine Walker is in a tough position, ignoring Duncan's shots and three-pointers, and with Hill and others' counterattack ability, the difference in points goes out to 15 points in minutes.

The psychological burden caused by the difference between 15 and 10 points is completely different.

If you can still chase after 10 points, you can only play tricks if you can.

Seeing the Celtic state, Mo Mengchen felt a ridiculous sense of familiarity.

Rick Pitino, a famous university coach who personally ended the old Celtic era, even if he changed his destiny and won the coveted Duncan, it seemed that he did not improve the current situation of the team.

When hiring Pitino, the Celtics took 42 million in 6 years.

Due to Pitino's huge salary, the market for excellent coaches has been rising all the way, and Larry Brown, Phil Jackson, Larry Bird, and Lanny Wilkens all benefited from it.

The coaches received huge salaries that were unimaginable in the past, but Pitino turned his fate and got Duncan, but failed to change the team's mental outlook.

Mo Mengchen originally thought that the Celtics would change the dark age that made Celtic fans look back on after getting Duncan, but now, Duncan seems to be able to guarantee their playoffs. If you want to go further and even recreate the glory of your predecessors, you don’t think about it.

Teams with Duncan can only guarantee the playoffs?

Thinking about Duncan's performance at the Spurs, you should know how much Pitino ruined him.

With Duncan's character, it's hard to say whether he will fall in silence or explode in silence. He had a close relationship with **Vicci in the Spurs. The Spurs are a team that matches Duncan with silver and black jerseys, retro and simple, and have never had any laces. They just want to play well and then go home to sleep.

Duncan failed to go to the Spurs, the most regrettable person is Mo Mengchen, and no one wants to be in the same division with such a strong player.

If you want to get a hindsight, this is the best choice. Duncan was unhappy in Boston. In order to recreate his college glory, Pitino blindly suppressed the player's personality. Even players like Duncan have to serve Antoine Walker.

The game on the field continues.

Pitino kept biting the gum in his mouth to relieve his nervousness. Walker's performance made him want to trade this disciple several times, but this decision was difficult for him.

Walker is his direct subordinate and an important contributor to the Kentucky championship season. Pitino chose to join the Celtics in part because Walker is here, so he can better control the team.

But now, Walker is no longer the Walker he is familiar with.

He ignored discipline, shot casually and irresponsible, but in just one year, he developed so many bad habits. NBA is really a bad place to erase geniuses.

At this time, Walker finally made a three-pointer.

His teammates did not respond. After all, he had played so many irons before, so what's the big deal about scoring an occasional goal?

It was a great encouragement for Pitino. Walker often used this unreasonable shooting basketball to help the team open up the situation when he was in college.

This is Antoine Walker that Pitino is familiar with. If he doesn't consider his goal, the Celtics are already 13 points behind, which is the excellent Antoine Walker moment.

Walker's three-pointer aroused Hill's counterattack. He dribbled the ball fiercely, and he simply didn't give the Celtics a chance to survive.

Walker was full of yù    wàng when attacking, and his eyes were full of yù   wàng when defending, but his hands and feet seemed to be frozen and they were not moving.

Just looking at him, you even think he wants to save the world.

However, eye-killing defense in NBA is not feasible.

Hill dribbles and runs like a rushing forward. Duncan is alone at the basket, ready to block Duke Devil Mountain.

However, Hill was cheating after taking off. He tricked Duncan into jumping with him and passed the ball to Scott Pollard, who was ridiculed by fans of the game because of his weird hairstyle.

Pollard jumped up with a weird baseball hairstyle, suppressing Duncan who just fell to the ground, and violently dunked.

"I! Fuck! The strongest!"

Pollard yelled, his cap-like hairstyle, especially the black cat that stood out like a duck tongue, shook several times, which weakened his momentum out of thin air.

"I swear, I must lose that cube of bird feathers tonight!" Barkley was so sad.

Mo Mengchen supported Barkley from the bottom of his heart for the first time to commit violence, and Pollard's bird feather looked really bad.

The Celtics were strangled before they even got up, and Hill was cruel.

There are many strong opponents in the East, but the Celtics are the least concerned opponents. They lack the ruthlessness of other teams than other teams.

This team that once ruled the times actually lacked that kind of ruthlessness, which is really unbelievable.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the audience has begun to leave.

Mo Mengchen did not play again. He sat off the court, and the score difference did not narrow to below 9 points.

He just made a comeback, and to protect him, Frauses didn't want him to be too busy either.

Collins ignored the health of the players for victory and used the main force hard; Frauses was the other extreme. In order to protect the players, he would rotate paranoidly. Sometimes even if the timing was not right, he would not change it even if the main force was needed to be on the top.

If it is time to change, you have to change it.

Because of his reasonable substitution, the Pistons have almost no injuries caused by fatigue this season, and there are many accidental injuries.

For example, Houston was bleeding from elbows, Momonchen caught a cold, Barkley lost weight - if this was a fucking injury - a stable lineup, reasonable rotation and continuous firepower output, which is why the Pistons can still lead the record list and average 121 points per game.

The game is over.

Tonight, the Pistons made an amazing thirteen-man rotation, and even Lauderdale, who was sitting at the end of the bench hole, went up to Wolves with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block in the last four minutes.

In the entire 13-man roster, the longest playing time was model worker Alan Houston. He played for 27 minutes. Because of the hot touch, Mo Mengchen and Hill frequently fed him the ball on the court, and he efficiently scored the team's highest 25 points and 6 rebounds.

No one expected that the Celtics once led the Pistons by 16 points in the first half, but lost 22 points at the end of the game.

"What happened? What caused your collapse?" A reporter interviewed Duncan after the game.

Duncan endured a lot of complaints and said, "They beat them better than us, that's why."

Mo Mengchen, who saw the problem and liked to play with his opponent, was not so easy to explain.

He expressed his views on the Celtics truthfully: "I have to say that they are losing their heads and have players as good as TD, but they don't build a system around him, but stubbornly pursue rationality and team."

"Do you think Boston's use of TD is unreasonable?"

"Of course, for example," Mo Mengchen said. "If we got Shaq O'Neal, will we still play the run and fight? Of course no, we will slow down and wait for Shaq to get off the spot, pass the ball to him, and then flash to the side and wait for him to solve the opponent."

"This is how superstars are used."

These are Mo Mengchen's true words, but after these truths are expressed, they will inevitably attract discussions from the media and fans. Pitino may also have a verbal battle with him in front of the media, but Mo Mengchen will not be entangled with him. He is only responsible for provoking trouble, and whoever wants to do it will do it in the subsequent ending.

A chaotic Celtics and a frustrated Duncan are the good Celtics and Duncan.

——For Mo Mengchen.
