You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 1104 You can definitely fight for another 2 years

Chapter 1104 You can definitely fight for another two years

2007/4/21

The first round of the playoffs officially started.

The Pistons' first-round opponent is the resurgent Boston Celtics.

From the 80s to the 90s, the Pistons and the Celtics had a period of grievances.

In the 80s, the Bad Boys overthrew the Boston dynasty's rule of the East in one fell swoop;

In the 90s, the Pistons under Mo Mengchen and Hill defeated the Celtics. Duncan saw no hope of defeating the Pistons in Boston, so he chose to leave and join the 76ers.

Six years later, Duncan was over [-] years old, and his peak had passed, but he failed to win the championship ring with Iverson.

But this year, the 76ers were in chaos, Iverson was put on the shelf, and Duncan couldn't support it alone.

Known as OK in the East, they have been in the army for six years and have reached the conference finals four times, but they have not won a single championship, which made Bostonians laugh.

This year, the Celtics made a comeback under the leadership of Howard and Bosh.

In the first round against the Pistons, new and old grievances seem to be over again.

But this is the eighth in the East vs. the first in the East.

This is a decisive battle of 74 wins and 40 wins.

This is a playoff round with no suspense.

4 is better than 0

The Pistons easily swept the Celtics out of the game. In the fourth game of the first round, Mo Mengchen's performance made the North Shore Garden fans turn their backs.

He scored 10 three-pointers in a single game and scored 42 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. The omnipotent Gor.Mo seemed to come again.

At the end of the game, the eliminated Bostonians chanted: "Gor.Mo!"

Mo Mengchen let out a big breath. During the game, he felt hot and his teammates fed the ball frequently, so he also gave his best.

Anthony walked up to him and said calmly: "You can definitely play for another year."

"That's right, wouldn't it be better to retire with ten consecutive championships?" Curry also came over and said, this tone sounds as if this year's and next year's championships are already in the pocket of the Pistons.

Mo Mengchen held his breath and looked at the two of them: "Do you think no one has ever persuaded me like this?"

Neither Anthony nor Curry said anything more. They hoped that Mo Mengchen would stay and play for a few more years. It would be best to play for the team until the age of 40 like Dumars, Ewing, and Barkley did back then.

Good wishes, but cruel reality.

Dor.Mo doesn't want to fight until the day he can't fight.

He used to be able to play like tonight every night before, but now he is tired and out of breath after playing like this, that's the difference.

He can still play a dominant game, but he just needs to give it his all. He doesn't want to wait until one day he can't even play such a performance before turning around and leaving.

He is so strong.

In the second round, the Pistons fought their old enemy again.

After passing the Celtics in the first round, the opponent in the second round was the Chicago Bulls who eliminated the Knicks in the first round.

The head player of this Bulls is Yao Huang. During the offseason last year, they introduced several experienced veterans such as Artest, Sam Cassell and James Posey. This year, they encountered the Knicks in six games in the first round. .

In the battle to eliminate the Knicks, Yao Huang blasted Elton Brand with 100 points, 32 rebounds and 10 blocks with a 4% shooting rate. Although the 36-year-old Penny scored 30 points, he was unable to recover and was sent away by the Bulls. back home.

36岁的便士季后赛场均出场35分钟，得到25分6篮板5助攻，所有人都知道他的巅峰已经结束。

Just as the Knicks sent Ewing away to welcome Penny back then, now that Penny has reached that age, tearing down and rebuilding is what they must face next.

The Bulls entered the semifinals and faced off against the Pistons.

The semifinals also attracted widespread attention. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the blood feud between these two teams.

The Bull Dynasty is stepping on the bad boy legion.

The immortal Pistons dynasty also took over the league after the disintegration of the Bulls' second dynasty. At that time, no one thought that the takeover would last for nine years.

After years of rebuilding, the Bulls finally once again formed a team that can impact performance.

However, the strength of the piston is beyond imagination.

From the perspective of book strength, the Bulls are not without a fight.

Paper strength is one thing, fighting is another.

Although Artest can limit Anthony's offense, the Pistons have too many scoring points.

The brave Anthony in the first round was limited by Artest to only 19 points per game, but Hill completely overwhelmed the Bulls' second team in the semifinals, averaging 24 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists per game, defeating the Bulls by himself.

Mo Mengchen also fought bravely, averaging 22 points and 10 assists in four games in the semifinals.

The two veterans worked together to prevent the Bulls from winning even a game over the Pistons.

In the semifinals, it was still a sweep.

Although the bull has great ambitions, under the suppression of absolute strength, he can only retreat.

"If Eddie really wants to become the number one center in the league, he must first ask Yao his opinion on this matter." At the end of the series, Hill joked to the media.

After a two-round sweep, the Pistons rushed into the Eastern Conference Finals unstoppably.

The opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals will be decided between the 76ers and the Pacers-yes, these two.

The Pacers and 76ers are another rivalry in the East.

The combination of Duncan and Iverson coincides with the rise of the Pacers. Unless they can achieve the No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, they will have to fight a bloody battle in the semifinals every year in the playoffs. Tickets to the conference finals.

It's a pity that they tried their best to win the opportunity to challenge the Pistons, but they never succeeded in dismounting the Pistons.

Before the trade deadline of this season, the 76ers sent Iverson, which greatly weakened the team's strength. Although Duncan could bring the 76ers to the semifinals, it was difficult for him to deal with Jonathan Bender, who had entered his peak period.

After the first four games, the Pacers lead 3-1.

Two days later, the Pacers sent the 4ers home 1-76.

The East and West divisional finalists were announced at the same time.

The West is the Lakers and Spurs, and the East is the Pistons and Pacers.

In the division finals against the Pacers, the Pistons suffered their first loss in the playoffs.

In the third game, the battlefield was transferred to Indiana. The Pistons won two games at home first, and the third game was a must-miss for the Pacers.

Bender played an MVP-level performance tonight, scoring 48 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, overthrowing the mighty Pistons by himself.

"Tonight, Jonathan played more like an MVP than Melo." After the game, Mo Mengchen criticized Anthony in front of the media.

Prior to this, Anthony and Curry were both selected for the first team of the year and the second defense of the year.

As the number one player in the 74-win Pistons, Anthony is the regular season MVP.

In tonight's game, Bender beat everyone in the Pistons, that's why Mo Mengchen said that.

In the fourth game, Anthony realized his shame and was brave. From the beginning, he had a murderous look and wanted to completely obliterate the Pacers.

The Pacers are by no means like the Bulls and Celtics in the first two rounds. Anthony came fiercely, and their counterattack was also tough. The suspense of the game has always been there.

In the last minute before the end, Anthony stormed the basket and was blocked by Bender.

The ball flew two meters beyond the three-point line and was picked up by Mo Mengchen. At that moment, every Pacers fan was heartbroken.

In the next second, Mo Mengchen fired nine meters away.

"Shh!"

"Why did Dor.Mo retire?" the commentator shouted exaggeratedly, "He can still play for 30 years!"

This three-pointer was a start. In the next 50 seconds, Mo Mengchen called for a pick-and-roll to single out Bender, and a rebound throw that couldn't see the basket made the Pacers desperate.

20 seconds before the end, Mo Mengchen held the ball again, and Bender stepped forward again. He swung Bender three meters away with a change of direction behind his back, and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the left wing, hitting the board.

Time passed, the point difference was stretched to 10 points, and there were only 4 seconds left in the game, and the overall situation was set.

The game was quiet. Mo Mengchen was dormant and scored 1 points in a row in the last minute, which directly killed the suspense of the game and won the match point for the Eastern Conference Finals for the Pistons. They were only one victory away from the finals.

"Father, you can definitely play for another two years!" Ginobili said excitedly to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen gave him a high-five lightly, and did not reply at all to their clichés like striking while the iron is hot.

If he agrees in a flash of his brain, these people will definitely say it in the press release, and then the whole world will know about it. At that time, it will be difficult for him to think about retiring.

Mo Mengchen could feel their strong desire to keep him, but he was exhausted.

After tonight, Dor.Mo will be down to five wins from his spectacular career.
