Chapter 721 Although the public opinion is large, the influence is slight
The basketball was thrown to the ground, rolled slowly, and the referee blew his whistle for the last time tonight, which was the final whistle.
With a towel draped over his shoulders, Mo Mengchen stood up, walked to the sidelines, raised his hands, and Lauderdale, who had killed all directions in garbage time, gave him a high-five excitedly.
If he wasn't so excited, Mo Mengchen would be very puzzled.
In 6 minutes of garbage time, Lauderdale exploded with 10 points and 5 rebounds.
We have to admit the wisdom of the ancients, 360 lines, every line is the number one pick, Lauderdale is definitely a superstar in the field of NBA garbage time.
111 to 84, only watching the first half, no one can believe that the Pacers will end up with such a disastrous defeat.
The Pistons scored below average compared to their scoring average, but no one who watched the game thought it was an average game.
"It was the best game we've played this season."
After the game, Pistons coach Westphal said proudly to the media.
Five members of the team scored in double figures, and the Pacers led by 16 points at halftime. Rasheed was expelled, but reversed the 16-point difference in the third quarter. The beginning of the fourth quarter was directly marked as garbage time, and the garbage dog bathed in blood. , Barkley's season debut statistics do not reflect the story of this game.
For the Pistons, this is a special game. Houston has established the starting position. No matter how unwilling Davis is, he can no longer shake the CIC King's starting position.
Teams that have won two consecutive championships will always have some mentality problems. For these problems, if they cannot be resolved internally, they will be released externally.
Just like between countries, once there are too many domestic conflicts, they will always find a reason to launch a war to divert domestic conflicts.
This principle also works on the court, a wonderful game can awaken the consciousness of the players.
Jerome Williams was bloody on the field. He smashed his head for this and got a rebound, but it aroused the bloodiness of the whole team.
"Jerome's blood turned all of us into pure men." Mo Mengchen gave Williams the highest evaluation, "He is the best player tonight."
Although Williams only played 19 minutes, and the data was mediocre with 4 points and 5 rebounds, this did not affect the media's shifting the spotlight to him.
Mo Mengchen took the lead in praising Williams, and the others naturally followed suit. Suddenly, Williams became the focus.
This is also one of Mo Mengchen's strategies. Looking back at the past history, the great Celtics in the 60s, their achievements cannot be separated from the planning of the management and the hard work of the players, but they must maintain this for a long time within ten years. Competitiveness requires not only a good management, but also a good adjustment of the mentality of the players.
What is the cardinal's approach?Throwing away his iron-fisted style of running the army, saying one thing, and being self-respecting, he invented the concept of the sixth man, praising and boasting of role players other than the starting lineup. In the glorious history of the Celtics, there are many legends about the sudden emergence of small roles. Look at Old papers often see the Cardinals thrusting these minor players into the spotlight, praising their performances and praising their contributions in an uncharacteristic way.
He used this method to let the players understand that the glory they have achieved is not only the glory of the team, not just the glory of people like Bill Russell, but also their glory.
Their contributions to the team are seen and remembered by others. For role players, what they lack most is a sense of belonging and honor, and the Cardinal has satisfied them.
Let them always be in the spotlight, but what people call heroes behind the scenes.
If you can stand out, who is willing to stand behind the hero and make contributions that only you and your teammates know?Everyone wants to be famous.
This is why Mo Mengchen highly praised Williams. He contributed a lot tonight, but he needs to increase the influence of this meritorious service, so that other people in the team can realize that as long as they work as hard as Williams , the spotlight, attention, cheers and even the priceless "I was praised by my father" will find them.
Tonight, only one person is unhappy.
Two days later, Ricky Davis' agent reiterated: "Ricky can start on any team."
Also on this night, the Pistons played against the Bucks at home.
Since Westphal is sure that they will not adjust the starting lineup, they will give Alan Houston some privileges during the game.
Some people think it is a coincidence, but there are not so many coincidences in the world.
Davis' agent just put pressure on public opinion, and Houston immediately scored a career-high 45 points in the game that night.
Against the Bucks with Ray Allen, Cassell and Glenn Robinson, the Pistons blossomed inside and out. Rasheed finally controlled his temper tonight, and repeatedly sent wonderful high-post support balls. The first beneficiary was CIC king.
Feeling hot, he received strong support from his teammates and could start attacking after halftime.
The three-pointer in the backcourt before halftime is a microcosm of the whole game.
In tonight's battle, Houston scored 45 points and 5 rebounds. Mo Mengchen and Hill shared a triple-double for the third time in their careers, and they almost created the first triple-double in history.
拉希德得到16分13篮板8助攻，第四节打到还剩下6分钟的时候，活塞已经领先了41分。
For the sake of dignity, the Bucks replaced all the main players.
Rashid's triple-double dream came to nothing, and the game entered garbage time.
In the end, the Pistons slaughtered the Bucks 143 to 108, and the horrible smell of blood permeated Auburn Hills. They finally entered the rhythm of the game in the past two years.
Someone is still unhappy, and that person, of course, is Ricky Davis.
He scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists tonight. As the sixth man, this statistic is really nothing to choose from. Unfortunately, he was aiming to start, but Houston played a 45+5 game.
"Our starting lineup has always been fixed, and in any case, it will not be influenced by the outside world."
Someone put a question in front of Westphal, hoping that he would answer it positively, and he gave a positive answer.
Houston's performance gave him the confidence to say so.
Davis' agent died down, and it is indeed not a good time to seize the position, but Detroit has never been monolithic.
The dear Detroit Blue Flag finally saw its chance.
They couldn't miss such a good opportunity. An article called "Quasi-Dynasty Fights Overtly and Secretly, Pistons' Supernova Suffers Internal Squeeze?"
The reporter who wrote this article definitely watched the game, knew about the competition between Davis and Houston, and knew more about what Davis' agent said.
There is no evidence in the whole article, it is all based on speculation, creating the idea that the Pistons deliberately compressed his playing time in order to suppress the new star, let him play with the bench, and at the same time greatly improved his competitor, who just played the best game of his career Houston's offensive position.
People who don't know much about the Pistons are easily confused. This article immediately aroused public opinion. The media related to the Pistons immediately issued an article to fight back, and people from all walks of life began to jump out and sing.
The Pistons' game continued, and the next game proved that public opinion had no effect on them.
Challenging the Warriors away, the team that has been brilliant 20 years later is now just a bully that everyone bullies.
The Pistons have never been soft on their belly. Tonight's game, they played so that Oracle Arena lost its sound.
"The murderous spirit in Detroit is like a gang of killers who have just been released. They killed the Bay Area with corpses."
133 is better than 98
In a 35-point victory, Houston and Hill scored 74 points together, and Mo Mengchen got another triple-double.
The Pistons still have three games to play before Thanksgiving begins.
They blocked outside public opinion and refused to answer any questions related to the starting lineup. Houston continued to feel hot. In the next three games, they all had more than 30 points in output.
The Pistons welcome Thanksgiving with an eight-game winning streak.
In these five games, Mo Mengchen scored triple-doubles in four games, but the game with the most points was only 22 points. In the rest of the games, his scores were all around 16 points.
Mo Mengchen didn't care about the statistics. Someone needs to score, and someone has to sacrifice. He reduced his shots, and Houston also seized the opportunity.
No one noticed that Mo Mengchen's scoring average was quietly declining.
对步行者之前的比赛，他场均21分8篮板11助攻；最近的五场比赛，他场均17分10篮板14助攻。
His total scoring average has dropped to 20. If Houston continues to perform like this, his offensive output will inevitably decrease further.
Mo Mengchen didn't have any reason to destroy the current ball allocation. There was only so much time in a game, and there were only so many shots. Everyone had to sacrifice.
On November 11, the last practice before Thanksgiving.
Hill and Mo Mengchen made a bet.
The content of the game is that Mo Mengchen can knock down anyone present at will.If Hill wins, Mo Mengchen will hold a big Thanksgiving party at home and invite the whole team to participate; if Mo Mengchen wins, just like last year, he can choose anyone from the team to work as a coolie at home.
Mo Mengchen chose Davis as his opponent.
Davis can be regarded as the best outside defender in the team outside of Hill. The selection of him is completely a manifestation of Mo Mengchen's confidence in his own strength.
Then something terrifying happened.
It only took about ten seconds. Mo Mengchen first slammed Davis with his right hand, and then pulled Davis back to his position. Then, he switched to his left hand and slammed Davis to the ground, rushing into the penalty area. Score dunks.
The perfect combination of coordination, speed and explosive power.
Everyone remembered his feat of kneeling opponents three times last season, but now his shaking skills seem to be upgraded?Not only can you shake your kneeling opponent, but you can also shake your opponent to two positions, and even shake people to the ground like a believer worships God.
The shock of everyone lasted only half a minute, and Mo Mengchen chose the coolie for Thanksgiving.
"Since I shook Ricky twice, I'm going to pick two."
In the end, the "winners" were Houston and Miller.
