You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 732

Chapter 732

In the last battle of 2000, the Pistons were defeated by the Knicks, swallowing their eighth defeat of the season.

Tonight's defeat is still an old problem. When the opponent raised the intensity of the game, the Pistons could not react immediately.

The opponent played with the intensity of the playoffs, but they still responded in the same way as the regular season, and the result was abnormal performance.

The only thing to watch tonight is the confrontation between Dor.Mo and Penny.

Mo Mengchen scored a triple-double of 30+10+10, and Penny scored a game-high 42 points.

"Many people may not be able to witness the years when Magician and Bird competed for hegemony, but don't be discouraged. This era has Dor.Mo and Penny."

"They are the contemporary black and white heroes."

After losing this game, the Knicks overtook the Pistons and rose to second in the Eastern Conference.

It's uncomfortable to start the New Year with a loss, but life still has to look forward.

In the West, the contradictions within the Lakers began to ferment.

Kobe's ambition is clear at a glance. His style of play is very much like Jordan. Although he is not as wild as the Sharks, as he becomes more and more aggressive in the game, his popularity has skyrocketed. Even in terms of jersey sales statistics, he Also began to threaten O'Neill's status.

In the last game of 2000, the Lakers challenged the Raptors away. They had the upper hand against Carter, who is famous for his flying and dunking skills. They scored 40 points, beating Carter's 31 points, and won the game.

The commentator in Toronto watched the excitement and shouted loudly: "Last year, the Lakers were O'Neal's team. This year, the boss has changed hands. A new era is coming!"

In Zen Master's view, Kobe's success is based on the team's sacrifices.

After the game against the Raptors, Zen master held an internal meeting and asked Kobe to continue to stick to the style of play of last season. All offenses should be initiated from this point of O'Neal. Before the critical moment in the last few minutes of the game, he should first play according to the triangle offense system.

Then what happened?In the first game of the new year, Kobe responded to Zen Master.

35 shots in a single game, scored the first 2001+ in 50, and, his scoring method is very unstable-because he usually can't pass the ball-he responded to Zen Master, and also angered the boss as the boss. O'Neal, who couldn't get the ball and was repeatedly ridden on the head by the second child, was domineering.

O'Neal was irritated, and his teammates were also affected. Kobe's increasingly selfish style of play made other teammates feel that "Kobe doesn't trust us anymore", which further damaged the Lakers' chemistry.

Zen Master has a Zen master's angle, and Kobe has a Kobe angle.

In the past four years, he has played three positions with the Lakers. Only in the first season, he played all positions from No. 1 to No. 3.Of course, it's not an honor, because he was a substitute among the substitutes.

In the past four years, his role with the Lakers has changed a lot every year.

From the soy sauce substitute, to the all-around sixth man who can grab points, and even the first All-Star starter born from the bench in history, to the youngest main player who loves performance in the transition year.

Then, Jackson came along, and Bryant's character was recast.In the past season, he was calm, with admiration for the Zen master, awe for O'Neal, and desire for the championship. He strictly practiced his role on the team, never crossed the threshold, and with such outstanding skills , There was only one 40+ score in the whole season.

And he goes all out on what he sees as a "waste of life": screens, containment, support, a lot of running and passing the ball.After doing this, the last thing to do is to complete the job: passionate defense and stable scoring.

And what is his reward?

It is the Zen master's distrust, and it is the failure to win the championship.

Last season's defeat in the Finals, Kobe's frenzy that had been suppressed for a while finally revived in the summer.He found that the Zen master was not as mysterious as in the legend.Although O'Neal is strong enough, he seems helpless at certain moments.For example, when facing Dor.Mo, his arrogance and toughness are more like a catharsis of powerlessness.

Coupled with the outbreak since the beginning of this season, the heartbreaking scheduling in the Christmas game, the distrust of the Zen master, O'Neal took the ball and finally lost the game-Kobe saw it as an opportunity for him to further rise in the Lakers.

He clearly saw that although the Lakers are led by the Sharks, they still have a lot of room for him.Even the Sharks, even the Sharks who can destroy everything in the game, his scoring is not all of the Lakers.

Since O'Neal can occupy a quarter of the team's points, why can't I share the other quarter?The rest occupying one-half is very cheap for them.Besides, isn't Glen Rice already gone?

In this way, after experiencing a series of stories, Kobe decided to take a step forward, no longer satisfied with the actual status, but to share the Lakers with the Sharks in terms of statistics.

From then on, for Zen Master and Shark, the supporting role and No. 2 character in the pure sense disappeared.

O'Neal's life has become very difficult. The loss of last season made him work harder in the offseason. However, the awakened Kobe was unwilling to help him. The failure of last season and the hard training in the summer made him suffer. , Then, his free throw percentage also started to drop.

He broke Wilt Chamberlain's record by missing [-] free throws in a row, so badly that fans gave him crystal balls and amulets to bless him for those damn free throws, and even his daughter offered some advice, but it didn't work out. All prove that O'Neal's free throws can't be taught well.

Just at this time, Kobe launched an offensive to grab the class and seize power.

After the game against the Raptors, O'Neal approached the new general manager of the Lakers, Mitch Kupchak, and expressed the hope that the team would trade him away.

The drama finally kicked off.

Everyone knows that O'Neal's request for a trade is just an expression of dissatisfaction with Kobe. If the Lakers don't find a way to eliminate this antagonism, the problem will only get worse.

Mo Mengchen, who was far away in Detroit, heard that this kind of thing happened in Los Angeles, besides laughing, he had another question.

Is it still necessary to do so many things for the Lakers?Maybe they don't make it to the Finals at all?

No matter how strong a team is, the biggest worry is internal chaos.

The most frightening confusion is the competition between No. 1 and No. 2, which will lead the team into the abyss.

Mo Mengchen didn't know how much he contributed to this turmoil, but the outbreak of OK's conflict seemed to come faster than in his previous life, or in other words, more intense.

Regardless, the seeds he planted last season are now bearing fruit.

Moreover, the development of the matter was more intense than he imagined.

He looks forward to the next match against the Lakers.

Looking at a table of tactical blueprints, Mo Mengchen suddenly felt that he was doing useless work. If the opponent in the finals was not the Lakers, what he was doing now would be meaningless.

"Doctor Mo, what's the use of these things?"

Adrian's attention turned to Mo Mengchen from time to time.

The 14-year-old boy is full of curiosity, but he believes that the other party is not interested in these difficult tactical drawings.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say." Mo Mengchen said.

"You still understand me." Adrian approached, with a smirk on his face, and dropped his appearance several grades out of thin air.

The more Mo Mengchen looked at it, the more he felt that he had no good intentions, so he asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"That." Adrian said, "I got my driver's license a few days ago."

Mo Mengchen forgot one thing: Adrian is only 14 years old.

In the United States, you have to be 16 years old to take a driver's license test. Adrian's so-called driver's license test is just a multiple-choice test on a more realistic simulation website on the Internet. He got a score of more than 90. The website rewarded him as follows: "Congratulations, you got your driver's license."

Mo Mengchen was thinking about other things, so he didn't think of this for a while.

"so what?"

"Don't you think it's meaningless to get a driver's license if you don't have a car?"

Indeed it is.

Mo Mengchen is not an idiot, Adrian made it obvious, but this matter is obviously out of his control.

Even if he was willing to help his brother-in-law buy a car, it would have to get the consent of Ephraim. Obviously, if Ephraim was willing to buy him a car, he would not have to do so.

"Adrian, you can get whatever you want, as long as Ephraim agrees." Mo Mengchen said, "I agree."

Then, Ephraim walked over with her nearly six-month-old belly.

Adrian had to shut up. It seemed that Ephraim not only objected to this matter, but also did not want Adrian to tell Mo Mengchen about it.

Ephraim went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Adrian said bitterly: "It seems that I can only find Amir!"

"Why do you think my assistant will buy you a car without my consent?"

"You guys are bullying people!"

"It's not bullying, it's a rule." Mo Mengchen smiled at the little boy, "Adrian, if you don't pay, you won't get."
