After the semi-finals started, Mo Mengchen closely monitored the situation in the west.

The Trail Blazers encountered the Lakers in the semi-finals.

This season, the Lakers had a poor record and only ranked fifth in the West. They won four games in the first round with the fourth-ranked Suns. With O'Neal's unsolved dominance in the penalty area, they successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the first match with the Trail Blazers in the semi-finals, according to the video, Mo Mengchen discovered that the Trail Blazers were completely the nemesis of the Lakers.

This is even more obvious, especially when Kobe has not yet grown into a superstar with no solution.

Kobe has difficulty opening up the situation outside, so O'Neal has to fight against the Trail Blazers' luxurious inside group with one person.

Weber and Sabonis, the two inside players, have a longer range than the other, which is O'Neal's most annoying inside player.

Sabonis is still 224 cm tall, and he can also bring great defensive pressure when defending one-on-one in the inside. The offense is shot from outside, and the defense is taking turns to top the inside. O'Neal's physical strength is not very good. After this, after spending it, he feels that his strength is completely drained after a game.

The Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers by 18 points away.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons easily defeated the Magic in the first game, and some people have predicted that they will sweep the Magic 4-0.

The well-known local media, Detroit Workers, even published an article in its latest report that was enough to ruin the character of Motor City for eight lifetimes.

This article is titled "The road to revival by the Auto City, 4-0 reservations for the semi-finals!".

The article describes the glorious past of the Pistons in detailed historical materials, and then leads to Mo Mengchen and Hill, and flatters them, believing that they are the next generation of Uranus in NBA.

It was like blowing people to my grandma's house.

Anyone who reads this article will feel that if the Pistons don’t win the championship this year, they will be killed by heaven and earth!

You are all so strong that you haven’t won the championship yet? Don’t you feel ashamed?

That's almost the same feeling.

This article became the main argument for opponents to attack the piston.

Moreover, the most violent attack sounded from Detroit, and the Red Wings could not wait to mention last year's incident.

"I remember that at this time last year, the media bragged even more. What's the result? The results were not achieved by bragging and flattering. Did you see our Stanley Cup? This is the real result. There is no need to be bragging and flattering. They are just here, shining with dazzling light."

The next mayor's favorite, Kiel Patrick, also showed support for the Red Wings.

As a political star in Detroit, he knew very well how critical it was to win the support of the Red Wings. One third of Detroit citizens are Red Wings fans, and he chose to stand by the Red Wings, which is crucial to his future campaign.

And a very important point is that his competitor Dave Bing is destined to be unable to stand on the side of the Red Wings because of his former NBA star.

He was firmly tied to the Pistons long before he entered politics.

Many people think that in the visible future, Red Wings fans will be the mainstream in Detroit. They have achievements, are at their peak, and have amazing influence. Any group that wants to develop in Detroit, whether politicians or businessmen, must show their kindness to the Red Wings.

Patrick stood on the side of the Red Wings, and he seemed to have some special opinions about the Pistons.

"I don't like basketball and don't watch their games very much, but I've heard about some of their things on the court, and I think those things will damage Detroit's external image." Patrick smiled like a standard politician, kind and kind, as if he was the best person in the world.

"Sorry, this is my personal opinion and may hurt some people, and I regret it."

After Patrick made this remark, local media in Detroit began to spontaneously criticize the Pistons for their extreme behavior on the court.

Dave Bing stood up overnight and said: "I like Keith's honesty. He said he doesn't like basketball, so I can use this to infer that he doesn't watch basketball games at all."

"Basketball games are a game that advocates confrontation. We rely on our feet and hands to compete for victory. Physical contact is inevitable. Any team will use fierce confrontation. This is a legitimate way to win. I don't know why, why are there so many guys who don't watch the game pointing fingers at this?" Bin also had a politician smile, "No investigation, there is no right to speak."

The club struggle has risen to the politician's interests.

This incident has also sparked widespread discussion within the players.

They were angry at Keith Patrick's comments, and everyone wanted to come forward and speak for Dave Bing.

Bin's retired jerseys fluttered over the Auburn Mountain Palace. Now they can be regarded as grasshoppers on a rope, so it is appropriate to take photos of each other.

As a result, Mo Mengchen, who should be speaking out the most, asked the team statistician Douglas Sid to leave the game1 video of the Celtics and the Pacers on the day of the incident.

The Pacers scored second in the Eastern Conference, with the Celtics following behind.

The Celtics swept the Hawks in the first round and against the Pacers in the second round. Before the game, Momonchen believed that the Pacers would win the first duel.

They played in the regular season, and in terms of strength, the Pacers should be stronger than the Celtics. They play more people and have no obvious aging. On the other hand, the Celtics are only Duncan - although Duncan is very strong and can't stand Pitino can ruin it - as a result, they lost the first game.

At this point, they lost their home advantage.

This is very important, just like Magic wants to win the first game.

For teams with rear-position positions, winning the first game is extremely critical.

The way the teams with the back position treat the first two games of the series is mostly stealing a game from the opponent's home court. As long as the opponent's home court advantage is eliminated, then go back to the home court and slowly grind it.

If you can't steal the opponent's home advantage, or even play in the opponent's home court, you will face unimaginable pressure when you return to your own home court.

Mo Mengchen sat alone in the video analysis room, and he was the only one.

He put the DVD video tape in.

The competition has begun.

It is still Pitino's frontcourt pressing strategy, and this style of play has proven that it will not work in the NBA.

NCAA has limited talent. Although talented high school students join every year to deepen the talent pool of the alliance, there are many first-level alliance schools, and there are more and more students withdrawn recently. All talented newcomers are aligned with money. They worked hard in college for four years like before, and honed their skills until they matured before they went to explore NBA templates.

The team values ​​potential. Genius wants to make money early. The best of both worlds is the school. The talent of the league has also been diluted.

Therefore, Pitino's frontcourt pressing strategy can be effectively implemented.

Lack of absolute talent, those players who lack talent can strengthen their bodies with their efforts, and with a few years of running-in, they can naturally fight against each team without temper.

But NBA is different, it gathers the world's top talents.

Want to hit someone to death with a tight press? That's simply a joke.

In the NBA, pressing is a means, a strategy, a demonstration, and a helpless last try.

"Bao Wen is the starting lineup?"

Mo Mengchen discovered the problem.

In addition to maintaining Pitino's tactics with Pitino's characteristics, the Celtics' playing style has been completely changed.

Mo Mengchen only watched the first section.

Duncan played for eight minutes, and within these eight minutes, he dominated 90% of the ball.

Either he attacked or used him as the starting point of the offense to attract double-team passes. Pitino used Duncan as Malone, but the Celtics did not have Stockton.

"Even if you are prepared in advance, it's too early for you."

Hill walked into the room and interrupted Mo Mengchen's thoughts.

Mo Mengchen glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "I have something to say."

"Here." Hill handed Momonchen the report of Keith Patrick's interview.

Mo Mengchen looked at the newspaper and said, "That's all for this?"

Hill, the pacifist, had a look of fighting spirit: "How can we swallow our anger and let it smear?"

"So you decided to put your limited strength here? Don't train, don't think about the game, don't study opponents, and have a verbal battle with these poor people who do whatever they want to vote during the playoffs?"

The more shocked Mo Mengchen's expression was, the more severe the impact Hill was.

Devil Mountain suddenly felt that he was so stupid.

Indeed, why bother with politicians?

"I can understand that you want to help Dave, but this is not the way to help you," Mo Mengchen said.

Hill looked up and asked, "Then what do you want to help?"

At this time, the commentator's screams came from the TV.

"Tim Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound!"

"Rick Schmitz defends him!"

"Beautiful, his hook is so beautiful!"

Mo Mengchen asked lightly: "What do you think?"

Hill said without saying a word, and he sat down, "Have you found anything?"

"You'll know just look at it." Mo Mengchen said.

The two of them watched the second quarter of the game like this.

Duncan's performance was dominant, and the Pacers' black and white monsters were much inferior to him. This was already the top pick as early as the sophomore year. In his junior year, the entire NBA was waiting for his decision. Finally, he chose to run for the senior year and finally, the superstar who had finished his senior year was finally unsealed and released his infinite energy.

In the third quarter, Dale Davis was beaten to five offenders, and Bird was so angry that he asked Schmitz to defend Duncan.

As a result, Duncan gave up his back and bullied Schmitz and moved slowly. He held the ball and attacked with one shot, hitting the Pacers' inside line completely.

"This..." Hill opened his mouth and was shocked.

The Pistons claim to have a strong inside lineup, but facing a super insider like Duncan, who is strong in the young and prosperous, no matter how deep the depth is, wouldn't it be better to give one away?

Mo Mengchen looked serious and suddenly said, "We need a Tim Duncan scout report."

"Scout report?" Hill said, "Is this guy still weak?"

He and Mo Mengchen watched two quarters together. In these two quarters, Duncan showed amazing content.

There are no blind spots, mid-range jump shots, attack on the left and right sides at low positions, and after facing the basket, both left and right hands can hold the ball in one step to two steps, and can pass the ball when encountering double-teams.
