Chapter 714
The Pistons went to the next away game, across the mountains and rivers, to Dallas.
The biggest difference between the current Mavericks and the Mavericks in the previous life is that there is no Nowitzki. Nash joined them through a trade, and formed a pair of guns with Finley, which gave them a strong competitiveness.
Without Nowitzki and an absolute inside finisher, the Mavericks are much worse than their previous lives, but they are still a team capable of touching the floor of the playoffs.
Since this year, Nash has officially become a top guard in the league.
In tonight's duel with Mo Mengchen, he fell into a complete disadvantage.
His shooting skills and organizational skills are no longer advantages in front of Mo Mengchen, but his defense has become an unsolvable problem.
The Pistons didn't look at anything else, they just targeted his defense, and targeted it to death.
One-on-one, Mo Mengchen insultingly used his body to push the person away, and used various methods to score points.
"Is someone guarding me?"
Whenever Mo Mengchen scored, he would run to Don Nelson and ask this question.
What kind of temper is that mad scientist?For a softie like Weber, don't let him call him a bloody man. He committed the following crimes and was eventually traded to the Bullets. How could he resist being so stimulated by Mo Mengchen?But others don't know about Nash's defense. Can he not? It's unrealistic to expect Nash to defend against Mo Mengchen. Therefore, he had no choice but to call on other teammates to wipe the wind son's ass.
They changed their defense. Michael Finley, like Mo Mengchen, is a legacy of the 95th class.
Mo Mengchen was the 18th pick in the first round, and Finley was the 21st pick in the first round. As examples of the blindness of the major uniform teams, these two also became the most dazzling stars in the audience tonight.
But Finley's defense is not good, only slightly stronger than Nash, and the degree of strength is limited.
Seeing Finley, Mo Mengchen played harder.
Dor.Mo is notorious, and there are not many people who can become friends with him. Finley is one of them. He is still a student. Although they have never been teammates, they have known each other before the rookie challenge in 1996. .
Finley was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he was unbearably boring. Every time he met him, Mo Mengchen would score 40 points to calm down the excitement in his heart.
Facing Finley, for two consecutive rounds, Mo Mengchen dribbled the ball with his left hand and his right hand respectively for three-pointers.
"Is someone guarding me?"
Nelson's anger continued to heat up, and the Mavericks changed their defense.
Courtney Alexander, who was the No. 2000 pick in the first round of the 13 draft, is a good combo guard, but unfortunately he only played in the NBA for five years.
Vision is really important. Some people can select Kobe with the [-]th overall pick in the first round, while others can only select Alexander.
This person's defense is stronger than Finley and Nash, because his other abilities are relatively mediocre, and he can only rely on defense to get the appreciation of the coaching staff. The result is still a horrible massacre.
"Dallas is a bit unlucky, Mo is very excited tonight."
Midfield interview, Westphal said to the media.
In the fifth game of the season, Mo Mengchen finally broke out. Against the Mavericks, he played 36 minutes and scored 45 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. He single-handedly overwhelmed the Mavericks' perimeter defense and beat the opponent by 18 points in the away game.
"Mo, you played your best game of the season, what motivates you?"
Nash's defense?Finley's face?Nelson looks angry?
I'd love to say it, but I can't, image matters.
"The enthusiasm of the fans at the scene." Mo Mengchen said with a faint smile, "Whenever I score, the audience will enthusiastically respond (booing wildly, hysterically), which makes me feel happy, just like returning home."
As soon as Mo Mengchen finished speaking, the fans at the scene once again interrupted the interview with their shocking voices.
"It's the passion, and I love it."
After all, Mo Mengchen finished the on-site interview and turned to the player tunnel.
The fans at the scene remembered Mo Mengchen's words, and when he comes to Dallas next time, they must let him know what "fucking enthusiasm" is with even crazier voices.
However, that is for next year.
The Pistons ended a brief road trip with two straight victories and returned to Detroit to play three games in a row.
The opponents in these three games are not weak, the two Eastern teams: Raptors and Pacers.One Western Conference team: Rockets.
Needless to say, the two strong teams in the Eastern Conference, the situation of the Rockets is very different from the previous life.
The core of the team is Pierce and Larry Johnson. Former Pistons player Bobby Jackson also played well and is currently the Rockets' starter.
Pierce has exploded this season, averaging 26 points and 6 rebounds per game. He is a top star in the league and has the potential to compete for the best team. However, the Rockets have limited talent. It's hard to say whether it will make it to the playoffs in the end.
Three guests will arrive one after another, and the outside world predicts that the Pistons may lose one or two games.
The first guest to arrive was the Rockets. Pierce came with ambition and left disheartened.
In the battle against the Rockets, the Pistons blasted 140 points at home, another big victory for the Pistons.
"Intense confrontation is one of the ways to subdue the Pistons, but if you only know about confrontation but have no other alternatives, something will happen sooner or later."
For this fiasco, the Pistons' home commentator Vinier Johnson expressed his views.
Tonight, Pierce scored a game-high 39 points, fought against Hill, and suppressed Ricky Davis. Although the Rockets defeated the Pistons by 35 points, he did not lose to anyone in the matchup.
"We can definitely say that the Rockets lost, but Paul Pierce didn't lose."
Such a kaleidoscope with comprehensive offensive means is almost impossible to find. Before forming the Big Three to win the championship, Pierce was often ignored by others because he was in the East and because he had been on a bad team. Few people would pay more attention to him. glance.
In the west, it is still an aviation city, and his exposure rate has greatly increased, and he is now the darling of Texas.
Unfortunately, this regrettable defeat did not make him not happy at all.
In order to limit Pierce, the Pistons dispatched three players from start to finish.
Hill, Houston and Davis.
Hill has no touch, and the defensive end can limit Pierce to a jump shot to end the offense, but he has a good touch, and he can make shots in any defense; although Hill can't restrain him, the offensive end can also return the color;
Houston was completely blasted on both offensive and defensive ends. Tonight, he didn't have a shooting touch. On the defensive end, he was eaten by Pierce once and for all;
Davis showed his aggressive side. Although he was also suppressed by Pierce, he was not as embarrassed as Houston.
He and Pierce played back and forth.
皮尔斯全场39分6篮板,戴维斯也输出了18分5篮板7助攻,表现远强于休斯顿的个位数得分。
After this game, Ricky Davis' ambition finally came out.
The competitor in his eyes is not Hill, but Alan Houston.
The next day
ESPN: Pistons forward Ricky Davis wants more playing time.
If it is said that this news is just the words of ESPN's family, it is not credible, then a news half an hour later makes the outside world believe that there is a problem inside the Pistons.
Davis' agent Ace Mulan said: "Ricky is a comprehensive player, and the Pistons are a team full of talent. Even in the athletic Pistons, Ricky's ability cannot Overshadowed, he's definitely a top 3 perimeter player in Detroit who can play not only at the 2 but also the 1 and, if necessary, the [-]. He's probably no better than Grant Hill or better than Dor.Mo is strong, but other than these two, the Pistons don't have anyone who should be ahead of him."
It seems that he is complaining about the positioning of Davis' team, but in fact, his meaning has been expressed clearly.
Hill at position 3?We don't fight.
Dor.Mo is number 1?Neither do we.
No. 2, Alan Houston?This can always be compared, right?
After six games, Houston averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, made 45% of two-pointers, 43% of three-pointers, and 84% of free throws, ranking second in the team in scoring per game, not to mention other things Worth mentioning.
Statistically, Houston's scoring has improved over the previous two seasons.
This is the first time in his career that he averaged 20 points per game, although only a sample of 6 games.
But his two-point shooting percentage has dropped. In the past, his role positioning was catch-and-shoot jumpers and counterattacks, but now he takes the initiative to ask for the ball.
The success rate of playing strong with the ball is definitely not as good as receiving assists. There is no doubt about this. In order to prove his strength, Houston has a lot more attacks with the ball.
戴维斯作为一个全面的摇摆人,本季场均17分6篮板6助攻,三项命中率是48%+39%+75%。
Houston's three-pointers and free throws are more accurate, while Davis is more impactful.
His 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game are also worth more than Houston, so the agent's complaints are not without reason.
This matter was quickly confirmed. According to internal news from the Pistons, Davis took the initiative to find Westphal and asked for more playing time.
The news spread all over Detroit at once.
Soon, sources came out: Westphal had turned down Davis' request.
If you're playing a game and you do that, Ricky Davis' morale will go down, his chemistry will go down, and his rating will go down a bit.
In reality, although there is no such high technology to judge how players think about this result, the impact is inevitable.
Not only will it have an impact on Davis, but it will also have an impact on Houston.
Davis' agent pointed the finger at him, hoping that Davis would replace him as the starting player. This would have an impact on him. A young player he had watched grow up with his own eyes now wants to make a mistake?
The impact of this incident appeared in the match that afternoon.
Davis made a fast break and wanted to dunk, Houston followed, flew out from the side, opened his hand and was a rude foul, knocking people down from the air.
"With this ability, do you want to start?" Houston asked coldly.
