After Van Gundy was expelled for offending the referee, although the Knicks' assistant coach had several good arrangements, it could not change the entire game.

The result was nothing unexpected, and the Pistons easily won the game, 109-91, defeating the Knicks by 18 points.

Although he won 18 points, his winnings were not good, and his score was lower than the average level of the Pistons in the previous few seasons. The first half was so anxious that it made people doubt that this would be a long-lasting battle that would be a stalemate to the end.

The referee rewritten the game's trend like a superstar. Starting from Van Gundy's departure, the game was biased towards the Pistons, and eventually helped the Pistons get a good start.

Alan Houston scored a game-high 32 points, Hill scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Mo Mengchen's data was an economic triple-double of 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, and with Ricky Davis' 16 points, the Pistons' four players scored in double digits; in terms of the Knicks, Hardaway and Smith contracted more than half of the team's total score. What they scored more than that of the two of them was poor in scoring ability, and after Van Gundy was expelled, his poor adaptability was fully reflected.

"Anyway, it's still a celebratory victory, we won a good start while defeating the strong rivals in the East."

After the game, a reporter interviewed Stern and asked him about his opinion on this series of punishments tonight.

Stern replied in an official tone: "The game changes rapidly, we cannot ask the referees to never make mistakes like robots. In fact, they completed the work well tonight. Such a anxious game and such a great attention are a great challenge for the young referee. Daniel completed the task well." (The referee that night)

Van Gundy was resentful to the referee: "I don't want to say anything, but I don't agree with the series of punishments tonight. This game is full of stupid and absurd rulings. I suspect that the referee tonight has interests in the Pistons!"

These words meant that Van Gundy would be fined, but he would still say so.

Van Gundy's voice spread everywhere, and the Pistons' official immediately retorted: "If I were the referee, I wouldn't let a crazy dog ​​disrupt the order of the field."

The next day, the league fined Van Gundy $50,000.

"I have no regrets about punishment, but I will never take back any words I said!" Van Gundy continued to speak out, never repent.

In fact, it was not only Van Gundy who needed to be fined, but also someone else. He took the initiative to accuse the referee and was fined with Van Gundy.

The night after the game ended, the Pistons' reaction was calm, and this was just one of the 82 regular season games, and it was no big deal.

Mo Mengchen could feel that the atmosphere inside the team was significantly different from previous years.

"What does winning tonight's game mean to you?" This is a local journalist.

Mo Mengchen's reply was: "There is no special meaning. We have a bad mental outlook. Maybe we lose the game better, and maybe we can wake up some people."

For example, Rashid, who burns at a glance.

Mo Mengchen just said a few words casually, but the reporter sounded like a big hit.

dor.mo is dissatisfied with his teammates?

dor.mo hints that teammates don’t work hard on the field?

There is a problem inside the piston, and dor.mo may not stay next year?

Is the great piston about to fall apart? Where is the next stop for dor.mo?

Don’t doubt the imagination of reporters. As long as it is possible, even if there is a 0.01% chance in the end, they will report it seriously.

If you say that he made up stories, he can really show you the evidence, and then openly say that everything he analyzed is well-founded, but the possibility is not high.

Yes, the probability of 0.01% can also be classified as "not high".

The local media realized that Mo Mengchen's answer was full of deep digging, but they did not want the Pistons to be affected by the outside world, so they wanted to make up for it: "But you defeated the Knicks, and they were your strong rivals in the East, beating them should help you find the game state as soon as possible."

"It was the referee who defeated New York." Mo Mengchen said with a smile, "I dare not take credit."

The atmosphere at the scene was as cold as someone died suddenly.

The wind blew over, and the reporter who asked the question repeated Mo Mengchen's words in disbelief: "Did the referee defeat New York?"

"Yes, this is why we should not be proud of this victory. The referee drove Jeff Van Gundy out of the arena for us. He made New York lose the marshal and an army lose the commander, so naturally he could not win the battle. So, it was not that we played well, but that the referee bragged well." Mo Mengchen was afraid that the league would not fine him. "In the game tonight, the referee made great contributions. I only express my deepest gratitude to the three referees tonight on behalf of the whole team."

Hill, Houston, Westfal looked at Momonchen in a daze.

From their reactions, we can see that Mo Mengchen did not communicate with anyone in advance.

The scene exploded, and the reporter wanted to continue asking questions, but Mo Mengchen stopped and stopped talking about topics related to the referee.

However, "It's too late to regret." What he said is enough to fine him by the alliance and offend the referee. No one knows why he did this.

After the press conference, the four generals who attended the press conference walked on the road.

Hill asked, "What are you doing?"

Let the world know the truth, and I am irreconcilable with sin.

"Do you think we won the right way?" Mo Mengchen's words almost made Hill think he was the kind of gentleman who couldn't rub the sand in his eyes.

But is he? Bah!

Houston smiled bitterly: "But if you do this, we will definitely be regarded as thorns by the referee during the next period of time."

Isn't this good? I like the way others can't stand me and can't get rid of me.

"What do you think they can do? Blow the black whistle? Make things difficult for us? Continuously making ugly games?" Mo Mengchen smiled faintly, "If they do this, how can we complete the task assigned by the President and 'continue' in the new season'?"

If there is any force that can limit the referee guild, then there is only the alliance.

Mo Mengchen doesn't care about offending the referee guild. Now the Pistons are in power and are popular among the league.

Even if the league does not interfere in this matter, there are many ways to rectify the referee guild. Mo Mengchen can kill one McGinlen and create ten hundred McGinlens. Scums like McGinlen - officially certified scums of the referee guild - if there are more, the credibility of the referee guild will be gone, which is not good for them.

Having said that, Westfal still didn't understand: "But, what's the purpose of saying those words?"

"No reason, I just told the truth." Mo Mengchen said lightly, "The whole world will guess my intentions, but the people in the locker room must know that I am serious, and I just told the truth."

"Thanks tonight, that's all. They don't have the capital to be proud and complacent. Who dares to slack off? I'm the first one to spare him!"

If Mo Mengchen was willing to let go of his posture, he would be an excellent orator. His words were spoken in moderation and in a proper manner, and his meaning was conveyed clearly.

Westfal doesn't seem to have to worry about anything, the most authoritative person in the team will help him control the restless hearts.

Hill had nothing to say. He never thought about these things, nor did he think of such a deep level. Compared with Mo Mengchen, he was a leader who did a lot of effortlessness.

Houston is far more accustomed to Mo Mengchen's leadership than they did. He will never forget how this guy directed himself when the latter first entered the team, in the preseason training camp.

You know, Mo Mengchen was not the current Dor.mo. He was just a substitute guard who had no resume and was spotted by Collins at first sight. How dare he command him?

Some people are born as leaders and have to accept it.

This is also the reason Houston must prove himself. He is not as versatile as Hill, helping the team from all angles; nor can he lead the entire team like Mo Mengchen; what he can do on the court is to score, and he has to show himself in all aspects through the last year of the contract.

In the locker room, no one showed excitement, and they obviously heard Mo Mengchen's speech at the press conference.

No one takes that as a joke.

Very good, these guys are not too stupid.

Mo Mengchen took off his jersey and was naked. He was the only one in the team who could do such things because he had no experience.

No matter who else is, as long as they are bare, their body odor will definitely overwhelm everyone in the locker room.

Before disbanding, according to convention, Westfar made "knowing mistakes and being able to correct them".

Mo Mengchen was pronounced with his name, which was his tacit understanding with Westphal. Some words he would say in this game.

"I'm not excited enough tonight, and I'm too impulsive," Mo Mengchen said. "The offseason is too long and I've been resting, which makes me very ashamed. However, I'm ashamed of myself because I found that many people on the field are similar to me and lack enthusiasm for the game. I hope that this will not happen again after tonight."

The tone was calm, without the big explosion as imagined.

Compared to the past, Mo Mengchen is polite enough tonight.

Should they be lucky? No, because if there is another time, they will face a beastly attack, and this man never shows mercy.

"I'm not rational enough to referee, just like someone." Mo Mengchen's words made Rashid look up.

"I contradicted the referee, so angry that I wanted to kill him. Fortunately, I controlled it in time, otherwise I would ruin everyone's efforts because of a moment of impulse. This irresponsible, unrepentant, selfish bastard actually happened to me, which really made me feel ashamed!" Mo Mengchen gritted his teeth and stared at Rashid like a jackal.

"I apologize to you." Mo Mengchen said, "I hope you forgive me, a selfish bastard who tramples on your efforts like shit."

After saying that, Mo Mengchen glanced at Rashid again, his head lowered even lower.

The same thing has happened too many times, don't look at his sincere attitude towards admitting his mistakes.
