Chapter 909 I'm not good at joking
Sacramento, Sleep Train Ballroom.
Game3 of the 2002 NBA Finals will be held here.
There are a few highlights of tonight's game.
First of all, for the Kings' performance, can they realize their ambition of three consecutive away games and win the championship at home?
Second, the grudge between Curry and Divac can continue, and the outside world pays great attention.
The third is the match between Hill and McGrady.
Fourth, can the Pistons control the number of mistakes to less than 20 tonight?
The grudge between Curry and Divac was originally an ordinary stadium conflict. After media exaggeration, the two of them became irreconcilable enemies.
Divac has experience and skills, but is old.
Curry is talented and energetic, but young.
It looks like a very interesting showdown.
The Sleep Train Arena is obviously more suitable for Divac to do something bad. After the game started, he quickly caused Curry's first foul.
That was Curry's offensive foul.
The young man tried hard to prove himself, but his movements were too wild. The referee's whistle made Curry know that this was not the Imperial Axis Arena, and this was the old lair of Divac, who should be cut into pieces.
The referee's deterrence is strong enough, and Curry dared not make too many moves. He made mistakes one after another. First, he was fouled by Divac on the offensive end, and then he worked too hard on the defensive end, but McGrady found an opportunity and took advantage of a thug face to face.
At that time, the game started only three minutes.
In order to protect Curry, Westfal will replace him for the time being, and then use Rashid to play center, allowing Jerome Williams to play power forward.
The game continues.
Without Curry, the Pistons lacked an inside pass point that could support it, and the transfer of the ball was not very smooth, and there were repeated mistakes in the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led the Pistons by 11 points.
In the second quarter, Curry returned to the court. This time he became much more awake, scored a jump shot from the free throw line, protected the basket on the defensive end, and regained the feeling of the previous game.
The King will not sit and watch a young talent find confidence in the game against them.
Collins decided to continue to release Divac to make things difficult for Curry.
The main difficulty for Divac to Curry is that he is too capable of using small moves.
Curry had asked for small moves privately like others, but it is difficult to teach by words and deeds when using small moves on the court.
This is learned slowly by accumulating game experience. Curry cannot become good at using small moves overnight. In this case, it is easy for Divac to anger him.
Curry, who was agitated, took action angrily, as if he was about to kill Divac on the spot.
He received his third personal foul as he wished.
Seeing that Curry couldn't control his emotions, Westfal also lost his patience, so he simply replaced him and replaced him with Miller.
If it were experienced Miller, the Piston Princeton became smoother.
The score was recovered bit by bit until the King realized the loophole at the Pistons' basket, and McGrady and Nowitzki took turns to control the lead to 10 points.
The half ends.
"The Kings restrained the Pistons, their young men couldn't control their emotions. Although Brad Miller could pass the ball well, his defense was a big problem."
"And, they made 12 mistakes in the first half!"
"You know, the Pistons basically lost all games that made more than 20 mistakes in a single game."
The commentator popularized some knowledge on the sidelines, and the Pistons left the game in disgrace and didn't finish the half, as if the game had already ended.
In the second half, they made a comeback in an unexpected way.
The angry Pistons gave up Princeton and attacked the Kings. The Pistons and the Kings finally played what fans wanted to see the most.
Can the Pistons, who won three consecutive championships with running and bombing, defeat the King, a latecomer with running and bombing?
"It's hard to say whether the Pistons can defeat the Kings, but Dor.Mo scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter and completely beat Sam Kassel."
"The king exchanged for ET to limit Dor.Mo. Now, he obviously cannot do this."
In the third quarter, Mo Mengchen scored 20 points in a single quarter, and the Kings' leading advantage was eroded to the point where only 4 points remained.
The game returned to the starting point, and the fourth quarter turned into the Kings' offensive show.
The Pistons gave up the run and bomb that could compete with the king and instead used Princeton to meet the enemy.
In the early stage of the fourth quarter, the Pistons controlled the mistake, and the Kings could not resist it, but Rashid alone could not pass the ball well. Their mistake frequency quickly increased.
Westfal was forced to exchange for Miller who might have been beaten.
This move caused the game to collapse.
Miller is indeed able to revitalize the position, but his defense is the key to the Kings killing the game.
McGrady and Nowitzki took turns to attack. Even Cassel, who was so pressed by Mo Mengchen, could not raise his head, Bowen, who could usually make three-pointers in the bottom corner, dared to rush into the penalty area to humiliate Miller. This shows how tempting his defense is for his opponent.
If a person is good, he will be bullied, and if he is bad, he will be bullied.
This is something Westfal had already expected. Miller was a risky move. If he won, people would appreciate him. If he lost, he had nothing to say.
At the critical moment of life and death, I am willing to accept the loss.
2 to 1
The Kings won the first home game and overtook the Pistons with a big score.
Tonight's keyword is McGrady scored 44 points and 11 assists to beat Hill who scored 221,010, and Nowitzki scored 35 points and broke through the Pistons' inside.
What about the Pistons? Curry was abandoned after three bounces, Miller had fatal flaws in defense, and Momon Chenkong scored the highest 46 points in the game.
However, at the post-match press conference, when reporters asked Mo Mengchen about his opinion on the series, he was very confident.
"We made 25 mistakes, above average," Mo Mengchen said. "When we can control the mistakes, we are unstoppable."
The next day, Mo Mengchen's words were quoted by the Sacramento Sun and mocked: "Dor.Mo is really kidding. The Pistons have proved for a season that they can't control the number of mistakes, but it is obvious that the king who is about to abdicate has not yet woken up from his dream."
What effect did the Sun's words have? No one knew before the fourth game came.
The outside world only knows that the Pistons' training atmosphere has been harmonious these days, there has been no incident, and the training is not closed, as if they have not been affected by the loss at all.
Then, it was June 12th, the evening of the fourth game of the finals.
The expressionless Pistons, the black jersey, came with a murderous aura.
At the beginning, Curry won the opening ball for the team.
Then, the ball quickly moved, Curry and Rashid pulled the man out at a high position, hit the ground, and Hill dunked to start the game.
Judging from the beginning, Kings fans feel that there will be a fierce battle.
But as long as you win this game, the Kings can lead the Pistons 3-1.
There has not been a 1-3 reversal in the history of the finals. If the Kings can win, they can prepare for the championship celebration.
However, the piston is not willing to fulfill his wishes.
According to on-site statistics, if the time for dribbling through half a game is removed and Mo Mengchen in the first quarter is enough, his touch time will be only half a minute.
What did he do in this half minute touching time?
Receive the ball and jump shot, cut the empty layup, and receive the ball from the outside.
He only did these three things, then scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and beat Kassel in the first quarter, leading the team to lead the Kings 11 points.
This game is difficult tonight.
This is the feeling of Kings fans at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Mo Mengchen only took a three-minute break and then played again, and it started to rain three points on the spot.
After three consecutive rounds, he dribbled through half the game, and the first goal was directly **.
The second ball gave him some face and called a pick-and-roll, and the gap that was missing in an instant made him pull up and shoot.
The third ball was the most excessive. He just passed the King's logo. When he saw that he was already 16 points ahead, he stopped.
Ten meters away from the three-minute line.
"Oh my God, what does he want to do?!"
There is a kind of horror that you know what will happen, but when it really happens, you can't believe it.
Ten meters away, Mo Meng dust pulled out and shot out three points.
This is an impossible position. Unreasonable shooting is not enough to describe the recklessness of this ball, but the person who shot this ball was Dor.Mo. Twenty thousand people in the Sleeping Train Arena looked up at the sky. As the ball flew to the basket, only Mo Mengchen suddenly turned around.
"Bang!"
"Oh my God!" The Kings' home commentator screamed when he was beaten, "Gor.Mo is here!"
Yes, the fans found out.
