Chapter 38 Can't Be Practicing Ball While Dreaming

Tonight's game between the Pistons and the Nets was really constipated. Stern read the beginning, but he got a headache from the noise of the iron hammering, so he shut it down to deal with his files.

When he finished processing the file and started the live broadcast, the game was over and the players were leaving the field. What about the result of the game... At first glance, his pupils trembled.

Stern widened his eyes and looked at it, not believing it; he took off his glasses and looked a little further away, but he still didn't believe it; he rubbed his eyes again, wiped his glasses, put them on and looked carefully again, he couldn't believe it!

56:78?

What are you fu*king doing?
Are you sure this isn't halftime or the third quarter score?
This, this is not right.Who...who wants to frame me today?Larry Brown, you're going to set me up, aren't you? !
You only scored 56 points in the game. Do you think you are hitting the Nets player in the face? No, this is clearly stabbing Stern's chrysanthemum.

He could already imagine the dismal ratings for this series.

The rapid advancement that the Nets are proud of has not been scored a few times under the exhaustive pursuit of the Pistons players, and they frequently fall into the position.

The Nets made five starts, and only two scored in double figures.

Kenyon Martin, who was crazy in the interview, didn't have a dunk in this game under the guard of the two Wallaces of the Pistons. He made 10 of 4 shots and barely scored 11 points to keep his underwear by relying on free throws.

基德跟同样是重型控卫的比卢普斯同归于尽，一个上场44分钟13投得9分，一个上场39分钟7投6分。

Richard Jefferson, a master of positional warfare who has been given high hopes by the whole New Jersey village, behaved like a drained virtual ratio in this game, shooting 12 out of 1, a third-year player, three shots, three non-sticks, just Outrageous.

The practice lasted for two and a half years, and he did not stick to outside shots.

That year's draft pick overwhelmed Kobe and Kittles only scored 14 points and became the Nets' leading scorer in this game.

The Nets were normal, with 14 points in the first quarter, 11 points in the second quarter, 14 points in the third quarter, and 17 points in the fourth quarter. Their performance was quite stable.

The Pistons' offense is not efficient. Although the upper limit of simple tactics and long-term drills is not high, the lower limit can be guaranteed.

Hamilton scored 16 points, Prince 14 points, Da Ben 12 points, Rashid 11 points, and Mo Wen, who came off the bench, also had 12 points.

People and ghosts are all on show, only Chauncey is being beaten.

Scored in double figures in 5 consecutive playoff games, and Mo Wen received more and more attention.

The Pacers easily won the Heat at home, but Carlisle, who was watching the Pistons game video at the moment, didn't feel so relaxed.

Mo Wen, who was transferred to position 2 as a substitute, is far more threatening than his substitute at position 3.

In particular, the Pacers' two starting guards, Miller and Tinsley, are neither strong perimeter defenders.

From past game videos and the records of the two teams' matches, it can be seen that strength is not Mo Wen's strong point, but what cannot be ignored is that Mo Wen's tonnage is there.

The 100kg Mo Wen played against the 85kg Pacers defender, which is a two-weight gap.

Reggie Miller was able to defend Jordan largely because Jordan was only 88 kg.

With such a high golf quotient that Mo Wen showed before, it is impossible for Mo Wen not to use this obvious weight advantage.

But if Ron (Artest) is allowed to defend Mo Wen, who will defend the long-armed guy in Prince?
Prince also played his worth in this playoffs. Even though he is not as comprehensive and experienced as Mo Wen on the offensive end, it is enough for him now. In 5 playoff games, Prince The average score can also be 15.4 points, this kind of performance cannot be let go.

The most difficult thing is that the Pacers have a bunch of centers and small guards, and Artest is the only one available on the front line.

There are two aces on the opposite side and only one king in hand.

"Scout scouts, scumbags who don't work for wages!"

Annoyed, Carlisle tore up the page of his college scouting report from Mo Wen's materials, and threw it into the trash can.

Defensive player, catch-and-shoot player, tool guy?

A substitute who hasn't played 40 games a year, you tell me how to practice this kind of skill, it can't be practiced in a dream, right? !

······
"Defend Kittles well, don't let him rush inside, don't let him start from the outside, don't save energy when you are in zone defense, if you still want to play, print these words in my mind!"

Before the substitution, Larry Brown read the scriptures to Mo Wen as usual.

Mo Wen nodded lightly, and clapped hands with Hamilton who was leaving.

"Come on buddy."

Hamilton did not forget to encourage Mo Wen.

Kittles also breathed a sigh of relief as the Nets watched Hamilton go off the court.

Hamilton's chasing and defense and the flanking of their inside teammates put too much pressure on him. In the first half, he shot 7 times and only hit 2 or [-] times. It was very uncomfortable to be defended.

But when he saw that Mo Wen was replaced, he made a bitter face again.

This kid is no worse than Hamilton.

基特尔斯当年出道便是以成熟的球风著称，一年级的他就能拿下场均16+4+3的数据，二年级他第一次进入季后赛场均16+5+3还被媒体夸了好久。

And Mo Wen, the first grader in front of him, can no longer be said to be mature, he is just a monster!
He can always stand in your most uncomfortable position to defend, can always judge your offensive intentions, and can always catch your flaws and give you a painful blow when you are slack.

Kittles' back-up skills are not good, if he can't break in, and if he can't keep the distance, he can only wait for the team to play tactics.

"Be careful with that Chinese, there is something wrong with him, don't take risks in front of him!"

Kidd, who was passing by, patted Kittles on the buttocks and said in a low voice.

Kidd looked at Mo Wen with apprehension.

Yesterday, Mo Wen made 20 steals in 3 minutes of playing, and two of them were passes from Kidd who was stealing.

Kidd can be evaluated as the number one point guard in active service, not only because of his strong field control ability and more assists, but also because of his low assist-to-turnover ratio.

It's not that Kidd hasn't been tackled by a rookie, but it's not easy to be robbed twice by the same rookie in a game.

Kittles nodded heavily, and looked at Mo Wen cautiously.

Only halfway through the third quarter, except for Mo Wen and the Nets' substitute insider Aaron Williams, the others were all starters.

At the end of the timeout, the Pistons had the ball. Mo Wen took over Hamilton and Kittles drew Mobius rings on both waists.

Running without the ball is not a mindless hard run. It must be constantly adjusted by considering the covering teammates, teammates holding the ball, and the passing path of the team.

Limited by the upper limit of talent (running position: 78), Mo Wen is not very sensitive to running space, but with rich experience, his running threat is not much worse than Hamilton.

Seeing the moment when Kidd lost his mind because of Mo Wen's running position, Billups directly launched a breakthrough, and Kidd was half a beat slower but still blocked it firmly.

Billups passed the ball to Prince on the outside line. Prince took a tentative step with his left foot and squeezed out half of his body space to find the right time to pass the ball to the runner. Mo Wen at the basket.

The quality of this pass is not good, but it is much better than Ben's pass.

The inside line of the Nets, who was numb by Mo Wen's running position just now, failed to get back in time.

Before Kittles caught up and interfered, Mo Wen took off and picked the basket to score.

"Follow him, Corey (Kittles)!"

Kittles sighed helplessly and ran towards the frontcourt.

The Nets' offensive round, after another move was followed, the ball passed to Richard Jefferson changed hands and passed back to Kidd.

Kidd signaled for a high double screen, and Kittles and Martin lined up with Kidd on the court in a screen position on the wing.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the bottom corner of the Pistons through the screen, and after attracting Rasheed's defense, he passed the ball to Martin, who had the intention of going down, but Big Ben's timely defense made Martin hesitate. According to the tactics, he Subconsciously pass the ball in the direction of Kittles.

"careful!"

Kidd called after him.

Martin had already shot the ball, only to find Mo Wen ambushing beside the passing path.

The basketball in the air was stopped by Mo Wen before it reached the highest point, and with a light flick, it flew in front of Billups who was delayed by the pick-and-roll just now.

Kittles, who didn't catch the basketball, subconsciously seemed to pounce forward, but when he got in front of Mo Wen, the basketball had already started flying towards the Nets' half court in the hands of Billups.

Kittles, who didn't stop the car, was about to pretend to be full of love with Mo Wen.

Fortunately, Mo Wen jumped away with a jerk.

He is not a male mother.
