Chapter 957 Worthy of Praise
After the pick-and-roll, there was the most exciting scene at the United Center.
Dor.Mo vs Yao Huang
The audience at the scene had reason to expect Yao Huang to defend against Mo Mengchen. They had the same skin color, and perhaps carried the same expectations.
Mo Mengchen, who had always been very easy-going in front of Yao Huang, was merciless in his attack at the moment.
Yao Huang's height is considered very fast for a giant of the 220 cm class, and he can even be said to be like a deer, but compared with Mo Mengchen, his speed and wriggling are not much different.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Mengchen activated Yao Huang's defense, leaving no room for reaction.
The little giant saw his opponent rushing past him, but couldn't react at all. Mo Mengchen entered the basket, and without the little giant, the bull's restricted area was like a target standing on the plain.
Mo Mengchen hit the bullseye with a dunk.
67 is better than 50
This is a round in the third quarter.
The Bulls continued to struggle hopelessly. They didn't have much hope of winning, but they didn't want to give up in the face of their sworn enemy.
The duel between Yao Huang and Curry made the audience feast their eyes.
At this time, Yao Huang does not have a wealth of offensive skills, so the Pistons have a lot of defenses that can be targeted. Forbidding him from receiving the ball in the paint is a simple and feasible method.
Once Yao Huang receives the ball outside the paint area, Curry has a high degree of confidence in defending him.
That's exactly what happened in this round.
Yao Huang took the ball and wanted to press Curry's body for a small hook, but he withstood the pressure and raised his 233 cm long arm to shoot the ball head-on.
The ball returned to Yao Huang's palm, and the attack failed. His confidence was not as strong as before, so he passed the ball out and transferred it to Jaylen Rose.Rose broke through with the ball, attracted Curry's help defense, and then divided Yao Huang, using a slam dunk that was absolutely open to restore confidence.
52 is better than 67
Mo Mengchen began to target Yao Huang's other weaknesses—as a traditional giant, his struggle against pick-and-rolls.
Unfortunately, the Pistons are also a team that is extremely good at playing pick-and-roll offense. In order to deal with O'Neal, the whole team practiced pick-and-roll for a season, and even developed a maze tactic.
O'Neill can't do anything with the maze tactic, and if Yao Huang meets him, it will only cause more headaches.
This round, Mo Mengchen stretched out his finger, calling for maze tactics, multiple pick-and-rolls in the high position, and even if Yao Huang wanted to hide near the paint and wait for the shot to be blocked, he couldn't do it anymore.
The inside line on the Pistons field is Curry and Magloire. Although neither of these two has the range to extend beyond the three-point line, each can make a mid-range jumper.
The range to reach the free throw line is enough to call Yao Huang out of the basket.
The helplessness is also here, even if Yao Huang came out, it would be difficult for him to defend against the pick-and-roll. As soon as the Pistons moved the ball, Magloire scored a jumper from the left wing.
69 is better than 52
Pick-and-roll defense is the traditional giant's death.
Mo Mengchen looked back at Yao Huang who was puzzled, and didn't say much.
Yao Huang is also a player whose fate has been changed by the traveler effect.
He should have been selected by the Rockets, but now he has become the savior of Chicago. Without Tomjanovich and Van Gundy, it will be difficult to get the guidance of Dameng and Ewing in the future.
Compared with the Rockets, the Bulls provided him with a vast room for growth, but lacked proper guidance and supervision from a famous teacher, and he inevitably went astray.But the strong Hengqiang, even if he went on the wrong path, he could finally return to the right path, but, was the Yao Huang at that time still the Yao Huang that Mo Mengchen was familiar with?
It is really interesting to see the doomed history being changed one by one by myself, but it is impossible to predict the direction.
On the side of the Bulls, Yao Ming once again used his Shanghai footsteps to touch Curry. This time, he added an extra probing step towards the basket, forced himself up, and smashed the dunk with one hand against the body of the little shark.
"And one!"
The narrator growled.
"Yao's offense is amazing like a dream!"
The changeable low-post footsteps have not been seen much since Yao Huang's rookie season.
After that, Yao Huang, who gained weight suddenly, transformed into a heavy insider, and his clever footwork was naturally not suitable for him.
55 is better than 69
Stable free throws are exactly the same as in the previous life.
At this time, the statistics of Curry and Yao Huang were basically tied.
Curry had 16 points and 8 rebounds, and Yao Huang had 15 points and 7 rebounds.
It was difficult to expect Curry to beat Yao Ming, so Mo Mengchen had no choice but to continue to call the maze tactic on the offensive end. This tactic alone could kill the Bulls who lacked the depth of the lineup.
This is cruel to Yao Huang, and this step of the Pistons directly exposed his biggest problem to the public.
This time it was Curry's free throw line jumper.
71 is better than 55
Then, under Mo Mengchen's command, Magloire switched defense to Yao Huang, deliberately letting him go deep into the paint to play a low position.
When he was about to get in position, the Bulls passed the ball, and the Pistons double-teamed in a blink of an eye.
This is the double-team that made Shaquille O'Neal miserable.
The number of turnovers in Yao Huang's career has always been higher than the number of assists. A large part of the reason is that he has a serious problem with the ball when facing double teams.
This problem did not change until he entered his peak period. Now he is just a rookie, how can he resist the double-teaming of the Pistons championship level?
Within two seconds, Yao Huang fumbled the ball.
73 is better than 55
The sudden appearance of double-teaming made the situation of the Bulls take a turn for the worse, and Yao Huang was as unable to perform as Jay Williams.
Mo Mengchen regards this as an encouragement to the younger generation, how can he grow up without doing this?
The Bulls' offensive focus gradually shifted from the inside to the outside, and Yao Huang's game style also shifted to blue-collar, responsible for pick-and-roll screens and defense.
Relying on the offense of Rose and Mobley, the Bulls barely kept the game from entering garbage time before the fourth quarter.
After three quarters, 87 to 71.
With a gap of 16 points, as long as there is no problem with the Pistons, they can easily win.
Westphal changed players quickly and didn't care about his opponents at all. It was his goal to ensure the flexibility of personnel rotation and the physical fitness of the players on the field.
In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Mo Mengchen came off the court, and the third-ranked player from Duke beat Watson one after another, scoring points at the basket.
The point difference was once narrowed to 14 points.
Westphal waved lightly, and Mo Mengchen returned to the arena, and glanced at Williams, who was frightened like a sheep meeting a tiger.
Nine minutes before the end, Mo Mengchen returned, dribbled the ball with one hand, and opened up space for his teammates with the other.
Yao Huang leaned near the paint area. He was sure that Williams would not be able to stop Mo Mengchen. His task was to make up the first insurance immediately after it was damaged.
At any time, the center is always the team's last line of insurance.
Mo Mengchen patted the ball slowly, changing direction with his crotch.
As he grows older, he is less and less fond of using those fancy changes of direction, such as his famous stunt kneel dribble and worship dribble, which never appeared this season.
Because breaking through the vast majority of opponents represented by Jay Williams only needs one start and one change of direction during the march to complete it.
He has the speed and explosiveness to do just that.
For such things as making opponents kneel down and sing about conquering, unless he meets a particularly blind idiot, he really doesn't want to be worshiped by others.
In Mo Mengchen's eyes, Duke's genius lateral movement speed looked like a slow-moving old man, not a threat at all, so he accelerated, stepped into the defensive area with one step, and pushed his strong body forward.
This ends Jay Williams' defense!
Yao Huang reacted in a timely manner and defended well. With his height, he had no problem interfering with Mo Mengchen.
Seeing Yao Huang in front of him, Mo Mengchen rushed faster and faster, stepped into the paint area, jumped up with force, and shot straight into the air like a rocket. He couldn't remember the last time he took off with all his strength.
Yao Huang's altitude is enough to bring the most serious challenges, but it's a pity that Mo Mengchen's physical fitness and strength are superior. He ignores the difference in height and weight between the two, and his unfathomable core strength makes him firmly hold the original The oriental giant of the same origin suppressed his body, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and hit the basket with a violent and heavy dunk like a hurricane.
"BOOMMM~!!!"
"Beep!!!"
"Will this be the best dunk of the regular season?" the United Center announcer screamed.
Yao Huang didn't know how to think anymore, was this still the Dor.Mo who was talking and laughing to him?
Why did he suddenly become a demon?
Mo Mengchen grabbed the basket, dispersed the excess strength on his body, and waited until Yao Huang stabilized before slowly falling from the air.
This ball killed the Bulls' No. [-] pick and No. [-] pick.
Curry and Magloire excitedly gathered around him and bumped his chest.
After this, the bulls basically lost their resistance.
Mo Mengchen's dunk was Yao Huang's fifth personal foul. Although it didn't affect him to continue to defend hard, the referee will not relax the standard just because you have five fouls.
For an international rookie like Yao Huang, the referee's whistle will only be harsher.
Two minutes later, Curry faced Yao Huang's attack and hit the little giant's sixth foul, making him graduate with full fouls.
All the free throws brought by Yao Huang were also hit.
The point difference was widened to 20 points.
From then on, the game officially entered garbage time.
Half a minute later, Mo Mengchen and Curry were replaced, and the two sides replaced the substitute lineup.
The suspense of the game ends here.
"This is the Bulls' first game against the Pistons this season."
"They still couldn't end the losing streak against the Pistons."
"But it doesn't matter, they still have a chance in the future."
"Yeah, they play four regular-season games a season, and they have three more."
The Bulls haven't beaten the Pistons since 1999.
Counting tonight's game, they have lost [-] straight against the Pistons.
Frustratingly, this humiliating record is likely to continue.
The Pistons can lose to any opponent, but they will not lose to the Bulls. Who made the two teams have such grievances.
Not long after, the game ended.
118 is better than 94
The 22-point difference is still a disastrous defeat, but it created the record for the lowest loss in a single game between the Bulls and the Pistons in five years.
So, it should be said. worthy of praise?
