Chapter 918: 3+1=?
Time: Monday, June 17, 2002 at 21:00 pm.
Location: Empire Axis Arena, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Background: 31=?
The finals Game 6 is about to start, but the game has not started yet, but the outside world is deeply trapped in the public opinion of the Kings.
The rumors about Doug Collins instructing Bowen to depose Dor.Mo were getting rid of the rumor. Collins was tough at first, but when the other party claimed that he had recorded evidence in his hand, he stopped and wanted to expose the matter.
The media in Sacramento also vigorously promoted the match-6 showdown, hoping to turn the public back to the game.
But the outside world seems to be not interested in the competition that has been won to the match point.
Various news comes out every day, and each one is very attractive, but without exception, it is news that is unfavorable to the king.
Before the game began, the king was already at a time of falling apart.
Because this incident was leaked, there is only one reason-the locker room is unclean.
Someone must have leaked the news to the outside world. So who is this person? What is his purpose?
Collins can basically rule out players. He has no conflict of interest with the players. Under his leadership, these people defeated the Lakers in the same district and reached the finals for the first time in the post-merger era. What reason do they have to treat a mentor who brought them to the peak of their careers like this?
The biggest hidden danger comes from the coaching staff.
The Kings' coaching staff is large, with 7 assistant coaches alone, not to mention other staff members.
Collins secretly regretted that he, the airborne coach, had no foundation, and there were many people who were unhappy about him. When it came to those words, these guys with ulterior motives would certainly leak the matter. As for the competition and the champion, they didn't care at all.
This is a bad habit that almost most people have.
For example, in a game, if you can't be the master of this game, you would rather lose.
Collins unfortunately gave the handle to potential competitors, and now it is a hot topic and the team is unhappy, so he has to bear the main responsibility.
He had strong confidence in the evening game at first, but now he just hopes everything goes well.
Even if you want to lose, you have to lose in a dignified way.
That is, the so-called death while standing.
At the same time, in the video analysis room of the Henry Ford Training Center, Westfar focused on analyzing tonight's game.
"Through the previous five games, we can know that the opponent is afraid of confrontation."
"In the event of a war of attrition, their personnel reserves are not enough to cope with the entire audience."
"There is no tactical turnover, and they will directly choose to let the stars play singles."
"And, the most important thing is..." Westfal took the video and turned the camera to a matchup, which was the matchup between Divac and Curry.
This shot can clearly show that Divac was moving heavily against Curry, and he used his elbow to attack. Curry, who had taken an elbow, did not retreat, followed tenaciously, and was beaten to 21.
"Eddie, I appreciate your courage to stick to the end," said Westfal. "But it is not our style to fight back or scold or scold.
"Return...to fight back?" Curry will not forget what the consequences caused by his fight back last time. Everyone thinks he is reckless, so why are he encouraging him to fight back now?
There are only players in the tactical analysis room. Westfar said it more bluntly: "I want you to fight back, not to let you fight with them, but to treat others with the same way."
"Coach, we can't force the sows to climb trees," Mo Mengchen said.
"Of course we should encourage legitimate game movements, but if the opponent insists on playing against you in this way, you must find a way to fight back." Westfal emphasized again and again.
But it is really hard to ask Curry to play small moves with Divac now.
This game will say something simple. The game is approaching and everyone is relaxing. It is only one game away from winning the championship. They all hope to end the season tonight.
That night, many fans arrived at the scene an hour in advance.
Before the start of the game, the team invited a large number of Michigan-area entertainment stars to perform live.
Eminem's singing made the scene feel boiling during the competition before the competition began.
The grand pre-match event made everyone believe that the Pistons will achieve four consecutive championships.
League officials and many celebrities also came to the scene. If the season ends tonight, they will need to attend the post-match awards ceremony.
David Stern and his officials came to the VIP box and had a drink with Pistons' boss Bill Davidson.

All the Pistons team members wore appearance uniforms to surround Hill in the center.
"Brothers, 31=How much?"
"4? No, not just 4." Hill said happily, "is the only one!"
"Of course, some people think that the Celtics half a century ago have achieved greater results than this, but those results happened before the merger era, and four consecutive championships were things that had never happened after the merger era!"
“yes!”
Everyone agreed.
"If we win the championship tonight, we will be the best in history!" Hill shouted, "How many opportunities will there be in life to touch the best in history? Decades later, when we look back on the past with white hair, I believe that at this moment, these years of struggle are the essence of our lives!"
“Yes!”
Great words are indestructible power.
"Come on, let the world sing for us, let history remember today, let glory last forever, let legend continue, let us achieve greatness, let us end this season with a hymn of victory!"
“123~~!”
“DET!!!”
When the Pistons entered the field, the audience spontaneously shouted out the "four consecutive championships".
Their opponent had already entered the field. When they heard the movement, they couldn't help but look back at the Pistons.
Is it anger with complex feelings in my eyes? There is also jealousy, but there must be the will to overthrow the dynasty.
The old rules, before the opening, Mo Mengchen must find his mentor, the man who started his career with his own hands, and thank him for everything he did.
"Doug, it seems that you have not been resting well these days." Dor.Mo's voice cheered Collins up.
At this time, Collins remembered how he was kicked off the Pistons.
He had reason to believe that the rumor that he had been so worried these days was the work of this person.
"You're the trash!" Collins's face was filled with murderous aura.
"That's too exaggerated." Mo Mengchen walked to Collins, "You want to destroy me, how can I not seize the opportunity to return it three times?"
When things came to an end, Collins naturally had to be stubborn: "I have never given such an order!"
"At this point, can't I be more frank?" Mo Mengchen shrugged and turned around helplessly, "Well, you are innocent, you are wronged. You are the most unlucky guy in the world. Why do I always go against you? I am such a bastard who repays vengeance~~"
Collins' anger became more and more intense. After this exchange, he was convinced that even if Mo Mengchen was not the mastermind of this matter, he would have made some efforts behind his back.
As long as he can be unlucky, this person will not let him go.
His anger grew stronger and stronger, just like he gave the order that day without reason.
He could not control his anger, and his hated eyes stared at Mo Mengchen tightly.
Damn bastard!
Mo Mengchen returned to the backcourt to shoot for a warm-up shot.
"Doug Collins should be glad that the Empire Axis Arena banned fans from throwing things, otherwise he would have been killed by angry fans now." Ranbill said in surprise. "I really didn't expect this guy to come up with such an idea."
Johnson glanced at Ranbill with a smile. He believed that this old man was definitely not saying this because of disgust.
Although Collins's idea of Mo Mengchen was despicable, it just seemed to be true to Ranbir, who had no lower limit. However, his identity is different now, so he was unable to speak his heart.
The warm-up ended soon.
The starting players of both sides have successively stood on the court, but they are still the same starting lineup.
Although they have played five games, none of the two sides have made changes in the formation, the starting lineup has never changed, and the tactical system has not changed much.
While fighting and fighting, Princeton was the one who fought 3-2.
The ball was thrown up.
Curry jumped with all his might, seized the opportunity, and transferred the ball to Mo Mengchen behind him.
Bao Wen directly came to Mo Mengchen.
After this scene, Bowen was booed all over the audience, and the rumors spread throughout the United States, so naturally the Pistons fans knew about it.
"Can you touch me?"
The ridiculous question made Bao Wen's defense lose control. While he was moving, he could not follow Mo Mengchen closely. In just a blink of an eye, the defense was broken.
"Damn it, follow him!" Collins shouted, "Bruce, stare at him!"
Why doesn’t Bao Wen want to follow Mo Mengchen?
Mo Mengchen quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stopped in one step within the three-point line, jumped up, and shot.
The ball flew up like a bird soaring in the sky, finding its return home accurately and falling straight into the center of the basket.
2 to 0
Mo Mengchen turned around and ran back, passed by Bao Wen, and deliberately pushed him with his shoulder.
“!#!#…”
Mo Mengchen took the initiative to provoke Bao Wen, which made the audience crazy.
Bowen was like a clown, first booed by the whole audience, and then laughed at by the whole audience.
"If Doug Collins really expects Bruce Bowen to do something with Dor.Mo, he is destined to be disappointed."
"Yes, it's not a contest at all."
Whether it is compared to personal strength or those dirty hands and feet that cannot be used on the table, they are not at the same level.
Why didn’t Bao Wen know?
Chapter completed!
