Chapter 1075 Can afford to lose, can't let go
The Timberwolves proved that they are indeed the strongest opponent of the Pistons this season. They are the first team to let the Pistons lose two games in the series.
However, the Timberwolves' win is quite controversial.
After the first three games of the series, the Pistons lead the Timberwolves 2-1, and there are still two home games. If the Timberwolves do not fight to the death, they are likely to win one game like the other teams before. Lost four games in a row.
In the critical fourth game, the two sides fought desperately. The Timberwolves knew very well that once they lost this game, they were likely to repeat the same mistakes and be defeated by the Pistons for four consecutive games like other teams.
This is something they cannot accept anyway.
The game was deadlocked until the last ten seconds, and the Pistons led the Timberwolves by 1 point.
Timberwolves by their new MVP James to determine the key attack.
Anthony successfully blocked James for 9 seconds, but was killed by the opponent with a four-step layup.Due to the sudden incident, Anthony didn't react at all when James moved the pivot foot and took the fourth step.
The referee had no other indications about James' four-step layup, and the ball scored with the red light.
With such a goal, James lore the Pistons and brought the Timberwolves back from the brink of life and death.
"The NBA's external promotional slogan is: This is the place where miracles happen." Lambiel laughed on the spot, "After watching tonight's game, why do we not recognize this slogan? The NBA is indeed a place where miracles happen, LeBron James' lore is like Maradona's hand of God, the referee miraculously indulged its existence, and the Timberwolves created a miracle!"
After the game, no matter how the Pistons appeal or protest, the result cannot be changed.
All the league can do is punish the referee that night, but what's the point?The Timberwolves took a crucial game away from home for the Pistons.
They regained home court advantage again.
"Since the referee didn't say anything, then LeBron's lore is legal. I don't know why it caused such a big controversy. Is it because the team that got the lore is the Pistons?" Since the shark claims to be the little emperor's bodyguard Well, it's not suitable for James, who cherishes his feathers, to come forward for things like talking about it. Naturally, he has to do it. Anyway, his image has long been shattered.
The Sharks managed to draw the fire on him by standing up for James.
To a certain extent, James' controversial lore also allowed Anthony to escape a melon-eating conference.
In this game, his performance was really unsatisfactory, and he was completely guarded to death by Bruce Bowen.
Bowen's dirty hands and feet constantly challenged the referee's scale of confrontation, and he made a black hand from time to time, which beat Anthony out of rhythm.
Anthony has never encountered such a defender, and he didn't find his form throughout the game.
It's just that Mo Mengchen's 45-point triple-double was in vain. He could have led the team to the match point with a perfect game, but now this series of accidents has rewritten the result.
The media did not let James go.
Especially Jolt Parkinson, a well-known reporter of the "New York Times", wrote a joke that has been circulating for many years: "Bob Cousy once said: Larry Bird came into the world to give all basketball Technology sets new indicators. After watching tonight's game, I think everyone feels the same as me. LeBron James is Larry Bird II. Like Larry, he has developed new indicators for basketball technology, from From now on, people all over the world should follow suit and learn from his four-step layup."
James was fiercely attacked by the media, and the day of the battle of Tianwangshan came quietly.

Location: Empire Axis Arena, Detroit, Michigan, USA.
background:
After such an aggrieved defeat in the fourth game, the Pistons held back for three full days before getting a chance to revenge.
"I believe that you, like me, did not set foot on the field to lose." Mo Mengchen was surrounded by his teammates, "The blood of failure has never flowed in our veins."
"We are not silent lambs, we are proud lions, I don't want to be with the losers, I don't want to listen to the cries of the losers, the complaints of the incompetent, this is the disease and plague of the losers, we don't need it." Mo Mengchen's voice was very deep, but it could reach the depths of everyone's hearts, "I won't complain anymore, and I won't think about that damn lore, because tonight is a brand new beginning, and there is only one thing we have to do. "
"Blow up the Timberwolves!" Curry yelled.
"That's right!" Mo Mengchen stared at the crowd, "Blow them up like a champion!"
"1! 2! 3!"
"DET!"
"Let's go!"
The Pistons crowd stormed the court.
Hill stood in the player tunnel and high-fived every teammate who entered the field. Although he could not play, he would stand on the sidelines every game and be the leader of the cheerleaders.
In midfield, Mo Mengchen saw O'Neill.
"Dor.Mo, I really regret not being able to defeat you back then." O'Neill said with a smile on his face, "but I am very happy to witness the new king's enthronement."
James looked at Mo Mengchen, even if he became the MVP, Mo Mengchen never shook hands with him.
Is it the same tonight?
Same tonight.
Mo Mengchen gave O'Neill a sentence in return: "You looked down on Kobe back then, but now you grovel to a kid who is not as good as Kobe, don't you feel ashamed?"
After all, Mo Mengchen took Anthony and Curry back to the backcourt to warm up.
James didn't show his emotions easily, but O'Neill was just the opposite. He said angrily: "Only if we defeat them thoroughly, Dor.Mo's stinky mouth will stop spewing shit!"
James snorted softly: "Then we will beat them, just like three days ago."
Before the start of the game, Mo Mengchen specially went to the center of the field to greet tonight's referee.
"It seems that it will be difficult for our king to perform a four-step layup tonight." Hill said suddenly.
Mattel Webster asked, "Why?"
"Did you see the referee tonight?" Hill asked first, and after Webster looked over, he said, "Cather Willis, that's a good friend of Mo's. We played against the Blazers in 1999. When playing in the finals, there was a game that encountered a black whistle that has never been seen in history."
"I know about that game. I was young at the time!" Webster said, "The referee of that game was also dismissed by the Referee Association."
"Yes." Hill said with a smile, "Mr. Willis was also one of the referees of that game back then. By the way, he was hooked up with the referee association, tonight, it will be very difficult for our opponents to get a comfortable call."
What Hill said, Webster was excited.
After the warm-up is over, all the players from both sides leave the field, and the starting players take off their uniforms and prepare to play.
Timberwolves' starters are: James, Hamilton, Bowen, Posey, O'Neal.
The starting players on both sides stared wide-eyed, and the game was about to start.
"Father, defeat the walking king!" Sai Lun, the youngest child of the Mo family, stood up and shouted.
It's a pity that his voice was too insignificant in Nuoda's arena, and Mo Mengchen didn't even hear a single sound.
The main adjustment made by the Pistons is to match Mo Mengchen with James.
Seeing Mo Mengchen's eyes falling dangerously on him, James was a little uneasy.
The referee threw up the basketball, and Curry took off with all his strength to win the opening ball for the Pistons.
Mo Mengchen changed hands and gave the ball to Ginobili.
For the Timberwolves, James is also allowed to face Mo Mengchen on the defensive end, because Bowen has a shadow on Mo Mengchen, and letting him defend will not have any effect.
In the previous four games, Mo Mengchen averaged 33 points against James.At this time, James still doesn't know how to use his talent to defend, and he is very raw in many aspects.
Seeing that Mo Mengchen didn't have the ball in his hand, the little emperor's mind was racing, wanting to step forward and apply pressure.
His idea is too simple.
Mo Mengchen's body can push him away with any force, and the two of them entangled to the low position on the right side together.
Ginobili lobs over.Mo Mengchen slammed his back hard, hitting him twice in a row, and it was hard for the Chosen One to gather the strength to take off and block the block, so he turned around and shot.
2 is better than 0
"Your defense is not as creative as your layup skills." Mo Mengchen sneered at James.
It's not that James can't understand slang, it's just that he can't think of a good response, and he doesn't like to talk trash with his opponents on the court.
Mo Mengchen retreated, and James dribbled forward.
It wasn't until Mo Mengchen really stood in front of him, with his arms outstretched, defending with all his strength, that he was sure of the opponent's intentions.
Before, it was Anthony who was facing each other, and the two had wins and losses. Now it was Mo Mengchen, although it was an unexpected change, it was exactly what he wanted.
James called the pick-and-roll, ready to break through, and the Pistons decisively switched defenses.
Curry has a clear defensive intention, which is to prevent sudden shots. Seeing James break through, he directly stuck the breakthrough line and did not give him any room to move, forcing the little emperor to shoot a long-distance two-pointer. The air was thrown to Mo Mengchen.
When the frontcourt was settled, Mo Mengchen quickened his pace and ran at full speed, reaching the front line. No one from the Timberwolves could keep up.
4 is better than 0
Mo Mengchen ended the counterattack with a dunk and scored 4 points in a row at the beginning.
When James walked in front of him, he said: "Is it a bit regrettable? Why can't shooting such an interesting skill be done by walking?"
James asked coldly: "Can't you afford to lose?"
"Of course I can afford to lose." Mo Mengchen retreated without looking back.
Just can't let go.
