Chapter 399 It's That Simple(1/2)
The Pistons' chasing momentum makes people worry about the Pacers. After Bird's adjustment, they slowed down. Miller's three-pointer and Schmitz's singles. This pair of underrated inside partners helped the team through the dilemma.
69 to 64
The Pistons were only 5 points behind, and both sides entered the last quarter.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Bird placed the center of the attack on Schmitz, who had a hit rate of 100 in the first three quarters.
"Rick, you need to be far more brave than you are now."
After Larry Brown was fired by the team, he replaced it with the retired big bird Larry Bird, who has long experience in defeating the Pacers and is regarded as the Pacers' nemesis.
As an Indiana legend, Bird knows that if this team wants to go further, the combination of the inside and outside is crucial.
Schmitz, this second-tier show in 1988, has never been able to fully realize his talent.
He is very good, with a height of 224 cm but can put the ball into the basket in the penalty area by various means, so it is difficult to find an inside player with better skills than his.
But in imagination, people think he can be better.
Bird's arrival changed Schmitz's pride in his career, but never had a drastic career. From then on, the Celtics' tough style was implanted into the team. Schmitz, who was not used to it at the beginning, gradually understood the principle of having both soft and hard center position in Bird's step-by-step guidance. With his tougher defense, he led two Davis to form the inside line with the least points lost in the league. The average number of blocks per game also increased to 13. At this time, the double R combination that seemed older and stronger once again brought the Pacers to the playoff stage.
Their opponent is the Pistons with the league's No. 1 record.
Tonight, in the last quarter of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Bird once again said this to the Dutch.
Better brave.
After Schmitz was about to arrive at the position, his teammates passed the ball as usual.
The Dutch turned around, twisted his 224 cm body, and threw out an unblockable jump hook in front of his dwarf-like opponent.
"Swish!"
71 to 64
"It's still a 100 shooting percentage. Will he miss the shot tonight?"
"Microwave" Vinier Johnson asked in frustration.
Smith was speechless, and the Magician said directly, "Any professional player will encounter such a moment. There will be some nights in his life, and we can perform perfectly."
This man who reached the finals with the team in the rookie season and replaced the center position with a legendary game that was shining in history when the center was absent due to injury. Schmitz's performance tonight was comparable to those great performances recorded in basketball history.
"If the Pacers eventually take away the match point, the Dutch are the answer to their victory."
Mo Mengchen and Hill were both nervous.
This is their first time to fight Tianwang Mountain, but it is not the first time they have encountered such a danger.
They have fought together for three years. In the past three years, there have been more troubles inside and outside than tonight. Now they have to solve this problem and defeat the demon in their hearts.
"I'll go to the low."
“I will stand outside.”
Momonchen talks with Hill.
"If they double-team, I'll find you." Hill said affirmatively.
Mo Mengchen forgot how bad he felt tonight, and he said, "Then I'll throw the ball in, I promise."
He generally does not guarantee it, but what he promises will definitely come true.
Devil Mountain has no more distracting thoughts in his mind. He no longer has to worry about three-pointers. He will no longer get the ball outside the three-point line. Every attack has to start from the middle distance or low post. Every round, he has to torture his opponent.
Hill appeared on time, and grabbed his waist and suppressed his opponent again.
Now, his opponent is replaced by Jaylen Ross.
If the opponent is Rose, his back will be even more threatening.
When the basketball was passed, Hill made a strong impact and only pushed it for a moment. There seemed to be a gravitational force on his body, attracting the defense of others to his side. Now he has to keep his promise - "If they double-team, I will find you."
At the same time, he hoped that Mo Mengchen would keep his promise, even if his touch tonight was not as good as usual.
Outside the three-point line, Mo Mengchen got the ball.
Such a scene is rarely seen. The opponent lets him go and lets him take action comfortably outside the three-point line.
A mocking smile hangs at the corner of his mouth, and then he jumps up.
Miller's face changed drastically.
He remembers how the opponent beat himself in the three-point contest.
The suspense of that game lasted until the last three-pointer, the flower ball, Mo Mengchen shot with his left hand, and his left hand could shoot.
Moreover, no one believed that he could really switch back and forth between his left and right hands.
Some people can give the left and right hands the same dribble ability, but no one can freely switch left and right hands to shoot in actual combat.
Unless, that person is called doro.
Mo Mengchen jumped into the air and threw the first left hand three-pointer tonight.
His right hand has no feel, but his left hand
"Swish!"
This feels so good that it feels so good!
The moment the ball entered, Mo Mengchen's left-hand shot hand turned into a pistol like his right hand, pointing to his eyebrows and said, "Next, I will hit a three-pointer with my left hand in the top of the arc to hit the front of the board, please witness."
"What did you say?"
Mo Mengchen's "preview" has become a classic, and those legends that are becoming more and more mysterious have long been popular. The most amazing story is his "preview" of the Bulls who beat the buzzer and the bulls in his rookie season.
The legend began from then on.
Tonight, "Please Witness" appears again.
The fans on the scene stood up and as long as Mo Mengchen's performance did not stop, they would not sit down.
Mark Jackson gritted his teeth and gave Mo Mengchen an elbow while breaking through, thereby jumping up the shooting basket.
The middle distance hits the same.
73 to 67
"I will give it back to you, along with this elbow."
Mo Mengchen said behind Jackson, and then took the serve from his teammate and pushed forward.
Hill has a premonition.
He wants to do whatever he wants!
Every time Mo Mengchen made all kinds of incredible three-pointers, he had a premonition that he was too familiar with this person.
Usually, he beats more reasonable than anyone else. If someone is unreasonable, he will be the first to turn against him, but it is his own turn. The unreasonableness of others is simply a pediatric in pediatrics compared to him.
But he can make a shot!
Damn, how could he score those goals?
Hill was not in a hurry to play halftime because he had a premonition that he had no show of singing this round.
Mo Mengchen wants to shoot a front three-pointer, what will he do? Jackson thought hard, pick-and-roll or cover? It seems impossible, because if he wants to shoot a front three-pointer, it will be meaningless to go to another position.
With Mo Mengchen's spirit, Jackson did not believe that he would provide a false information.
"Please witness" is precisely because Mo Mengchen's trailer is real and accurate every time, and he will do it every time, so it seems full of legend.
Jackson was thinking about what method Mo Mengchen would use to shoot three points, but in the end, the opponent used the easiest method.
He stopped one meter outside the three-point line.
"Don't you let me shoot three points?"
not good!
Eight meters away, Mo Mengchen shot with his left hand and made a nonsense three-pointer that violated the times's cognition.
"Bang!"
"How is this the fuck!" Jackson was about to collapse. His defense had already been blocked in Mo Mengchen's face. The opponent still hit, and it was his left hand.
“dor~~~~~ooooo!!!”
“oooooo!!”
“oooooo!!”
Crazy audiences give back to Mo Mengchen's performance in a crazy way.
Mo Mengchen ran to Bird and stopped, something he had always wanted to do but had no chance to do.
When you pass by, don't let it go.
"Larry, let your people be careful. I will give him an elbow later and dodge the referee's sight perfectly, and finally complete the steal. I'm sure you will call a timeout!" Mo Mengchen pointed his eyebrows, "Please witness."
Should I remind Mark?
Tell him that you have met a lunatic, please be careful?
