The Pistons head to the next away game, crossed the mountains and rivers, and arrived in Dallas.

The biggest difference between the current Mavericks and the Mavericks in their previous life is that they have no Nowitzki. Nash joined them through a trade and formed a double gun with Finley, giving them strong competitiveness.

Without Nowitzki, losing an absolute inside finishing point, the Mavericks' strength is much worse than in previous life, but they are still a team capable of touching the playoff floor.

From this year on, Nash officially became a top defender in the league.

In the showdown with Mo Mengchen tonight, he was in a disadvantage.

His shooting skills and organizational ability are no longer an advantage in front of Mo Mengchen, but his defense has become an unsolvable problem.

The Pistons didn't look at anything else, but targeted his defense and went to the death.

One-on-one, Mo Mengchen insultedly used his body to push the person away, and scored with various means.

"Is anyone defending me?"

Whenever Mo Mengchen scored, he would run to Don Nelson to ask this.

What's the temper of a mad scientist? Don't scold a soft guy like Weber as a bloody man. He was in trouble and was eventually traded to the Bullets. How could he bear it when Mo Mengchen was so excited? But others don't know how to know Nash's defense, so can he not know? It's unrealistic to expect Nash to defend Mo Mengchen, so he had to call on other teammates to help Feng Zhizi wipe his butt.

They changed their personal defense, and Michael Finley, like Momonchen, was the remains 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 an example of the blindness of major uniform groups, these two men also became the most dazzling stars in the game tonight.

But Finley's defense is not good, but it is slightly stronger than Nash, and its strength is limited.

Seeing Finley, Mo Mengchen fought even harder.

Notorious and not many people can become friends with him. Finley is one of them, and he is a fellow student. Although they have never been teammates, they have known each other before the 1996 rookie challenge.

Finley is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so indulgent that it is unbearable. Every time I meet him, Mo Mengchen will score 40 points to soothe his inner excitement.

Facing Finley, for two consecutive rounds, Mo Mengchen dribbled with his left and right hands and took three points.

"Is anyone defending me?"

Nelson's anger continued to heat up, and the Mavericks changed their personal defense.

Contney Alexander, the first round No. 13 pick in the 2000 draft, is a good double-sports guard, but unfortunately he only played in the NBA for five years.

Vision is really important. Some people can choose Kobe with the 13th pick in the first round, while others can choose only 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 be appreciated by the coaching staff. As a result, it was still a terrible torture.

"Dallas is a bit unlucky, Mo is particularly excited tonight."

In the midfield interview, Westfal said to the media.

In the fifth game of the season, Mo Mengchen finally broke out. He played against the Mavericks for 36 minutes, scoring 45 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game, smashing the Mavericks' outside defense with one man, defeating his opponent 18 points away.

"Mo, you played the best game of the season. What inspired you?"

Nash's defense? Finley's face? Nelson's angry look?

I really want to say that, but I can't say that, image is important.

"The enthusiasm of the fans on the scene." Mo Mengchen smiled faintly, "Whenever I score, the audience will respond enthusiastically, which makes me happy, just like returning home."

As soon as Mo Mengchen finished speaking, the fans at the scene interrupted the interview with the sound of shocking the scene.

"It's this passion, I like it very much."

After saying that, Mo Mengchen ended the on-site interview and turned around and walked towards the player channel.

The fans at the scene remembered Mo Mengchen's words. When he came to Dallas next time, he must let him know what "fucking enthusiasm" is with a crazier voice.

However, that's next year.

The Pistons ended their short away trip with two straight wins and returned to Detroit to play three games in a row.

The opponents in these three games are not weak, two Eastern teams: the Raptors and the Pacers, and one Western team: the Rockets.

Needless to say, the Rockets' situation is much different from their previous life.

The team's core is Pierce and Larry Johnson, and former Pistons player Bobby Jackson also plays well and is currently firmly in the starting lineup of the Rockets.

Pierce has exploded this season, averaging 26 points and 6 rebounds per game. He is like the top star in the league and has the potential to compete for the best team. However, the Rockets have limited talent. They are like the Mavericks, with the strength of the playoffs, but it is hard to say whether they can 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 attend was the Rockets, Pierce came with ambition and left in a dilemma.

In the battle with the Rockets, the Pistons scored 140 points at home, and another Piston-like victory.

"Although fiercely confronting the uniform piston, if you only know that there is no other solution to the confrontation, something will happen sooner or later."

Regarding this crushing defeat, Pistons' home commentator Vinier Johnson expressed his opinion.

Tonight, Pierce scored a game-high 39 points, confronted Hill, suppressing Ricky Davis. Although the Rockets defeated the Pistons by 35 points, he did not lose to anyone in the match.

"We can say that the Rockets lost, Paul Pierce did not lose."

Such a kaleidoscope with comprehensive offensive methods is almost unlimited to find the feel. Before forming the Big Three to win the championship, Pierce was often ignored by others because he was in the East and because he has been in the bad team, few people would look at him more.

When he arrived in the west, he was still Aviation City, his exposure increased greatly and he is now Texas's darling.

Unfortunately, this regrettable defeat made him unable to be happy at all.

In order to limit Pierce, the Pistons dispatched three players from beginning to end.

Hill, Houston and Davis.

Hill has no feel, and the defensive end can limit Pierce to the end of the offense with a jump shot, but he feels good and can hit the target in any way; although Hill cannot limit him, he can still win the offensive end;

Houston was completely defeated on both offense and defense. Tonight, he had no shooting touch, and Pierce saw him eating once and once, and was eaten alive on the defensive end;

Davis showed his aggressive side, although he was suppressed by Pierce, but he was not as embarrassed as Houston.

He and Pierce have played back and forth.

Pierce scored 39 points and 6 rebounds in the game, and Davis also scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, far better than Houston's single-digit score.

After the game, Ricky Davis' ambitions finally revealed.

His competitor was not Hill, but Alan Houston.

The next day

espn: Pistons forward Ricky Davis hopes to get more playing time.

If this news is just espn's words and is not trustworthy, then a message half an hour later made the outside world believe that there was a problem inside the piston.

Davis's agent Ace Moulan said: "Ricky is a comprehensive player, and the Pistons are a talented team. Even in the athletic Pistons, Ricky's ability cannot be covered up. He is definitely the top three outside players in Detroit. He can not only play the No. 3 position, but also the No. 2 position, and when necessary, he can also play the No. 1 position. He may not be better than Grant Hill, nor is he stronger, but except for these two, the Pistons have no position ahead of him."

It seems that he is making a frustration for Davis's team positioning, but in fact his meaning has been expressed very clearly.

There is Hill at No. 3? We won’t argue.

Is it number 1? We don’t compare.

No. 2, Alan Houston? This can always be compared, right?

After six games, Houston averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, a two-point shooting percentage of 45%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 84%. He averaged second in the team in the game. It would be better not to mention the others.

Judging from the statistics, Houston's scoring has improved compared to the previous two seasons.

This is the first time he averaged 20 points per game in his career, although there are only 6 games samples.

But his two-point shooting percentage has dropped. In the past, his role was to catch the ball and jump shot and counterattack, but now he takes the initiative to ask for the ball.

The success rate of playing with the ball is definitely not as good as assists. There is no doubt that in order to prove his strength, Houston has a lot of more ball-holding attacks.

As a comprehensive swingman, Davis averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 48% 39% 75% in three events.

Houston's three-pointers and free throws were more accurate, while Davis was more impactful.

His average of 6 rebounds and 6 assists is also worth more than Houston, so the agent's complaints are not unreasonable.

This incident was quickly confirmed. According to internal information from the Pistons, Davis took the initiative to find Westfal and asked for more playing time.

The news spread throughout Detroit.

Soon, the source came out: Westfal rejected Davis' request.

If you are playing games and you do this, Ricky Davis' morale will decrease, chemistry will decrease, and the rating will decrease.

Although there is no such high technology to judge what players think about this result, the impact is inevitable.

It has an impact not only on Davis, but also on Houston.

Davis's agent pointed the finger at him, hoping that Davis would replace his starting position, which would be an impact on him. A young player who he had watched with his own eyes wanted to commit the crime now?

The impact of this incident occurred in the confrontation that afternoon.

Davis wanted to dunk in a fast break, but Houston followed and flew out from the side. Zhang Shu was a rude foul, knocking the man out of the air.
