You are the Pearl, Mo Mengchen

　　 September 15, 2005

　　2005-2006 NBA preseason training camp was officially opened.

　　In recent years, the Pistons' preseason training camps have been set up in the city of Detroit.

　　 The location is the Nero Sports Center in the Nero neighborhood.

　　 As we all know, this large gymnasium is an industry under the name of Mo Mengchen. It is usually free to the public. Except from mid-September to mid-October each year, the training center is completely closed during this time.

Since 2003, the Pistons have chosen to host a pre-season training camp here. Because the Nairoa Training Center has the world's most advanced equipment, plus it is located in Detroit, training here, players can return directly after training At home, don’t worry about clothing, food, housing, transportation, etc. Mo Mengchen himself is not against it. Therefore, Nairo Sports Center began to become a fixed training place for the Pistons pre-season training camp.

　　 Today is the first day of training camp.

　　 At eight o'clock in the morning, Mo Mengchen took a cup of hot milk from home, walked to the parking lot, got on the train, and went straight to the Nairuo Sports Center.

　　Gariton Apartment is on Nairo Street, and Mo Mengchen drove from home to here in just a few minutes.

　　 He drove the car into the parking lot, and through the car in the parking lot, he judged who came and who did not come.

　　 Unless some people change their cars, he will not make a mistake.

　　Even if someone changes a new car, he can judge who changed it based on the style of the car.

　　 In general, the rookie who just joined the team will drive some good cars in order not to lose face.

　　 Therefore, as long as it is a new and expensive car, Mo Mengchen can basically determine who is the owner of them.

　　Pistons is a rookie this year.

　　Last season's expansion draft, after the Bobcats activated the Pistons exception, took away Korver, thus handing this year's first-round draft pick to the Pistons.

　　 This pick became the sixth overall pick in the first round, and the Pistons used it to select Martel Webster.

　　 This is a defensive supreme 3D striker.

　　 chose him because this year's lottery zone, the real superstars, only Deron and Paul.

　　 These two players were selected by the Bobcats and one by the Jazz, and there was no piston.

　　Although there are good players like Danny Granger in the back, the current structure of the Pistons does not require so many offensive players, so I chose a more stable option.

　　Webster may not be an All-Star in the future, but he can certainly become a starting 3D above the standard.

　　 There is a crucial reason here that 3D will become more and more important in the future.

　　 is not about small balls, it has nothing to do with small balls.

　　Due to the strong dominance of the Pistons, the so-called boom and bust, the 2004 finals and the Lakers' six decisive battles reached a record 22 ratings.

　　 Fighted against the Spurs a few months ago, but the overall ratings fell to 15.

　　 No one knows whether the Spurs are unflattering or people are tired of the undefeated myth of the Pistons.

　　The league from holding the piston to balancing the piston, and now intentionally suppressing and weakening, are proving that they do not want the team to dominate the league like the Celtics half a century ago.

　　 Modern sports should not have such a team.

　　 Therefore, from the expansion of the draft, a series of targeting, its purpose is to weaken the Pistons.

　　 This matter seems to have become the strategy of the league, and it also delayed the dark defense era that should have arrived.

　　Mo Mengchen remembered that at this time in the previous life, the 2004-2005 season that had already ended, the league introduced a new regulation: handcheck was completely banned.

　　Although there were various prohibitions on handcheck before, most of them prohibit handcheck in some areas within the three-point line.

　　 As soon as this rule came out, the NBA in the previous life immediately changed dramatically.

　　The league's average offensive efficiency soared from 102.9 to 106.1, the highest increase ever. 106.1 offensive efficiency has even approached the level of the 1996-1997 season.

　　As the league did not completely prohibit handcheck, the dark defense era continued.

　　 This is a good thing for most fans who are used to watching strong rivalries. At least in the next few years, the game will be as intense as usual.

　　Under the restrictions of the league, the Pistons still achieved seven consecutive championships, which is only one step away from the ancient Celtics' eight consecutive championships.

　　 The outside world believes that their biggest enemy is not outside, but inside.

　　 This enemy is called time.

　　Will wait until June next year, Hill will be 34 years old, Mo Mengchen will also be 33 years old.

　　 They have maintained a good state in recent years, but each flower has withered one day. Whether the Piston Dynasty can continue, the most important point is whether Curry and Anthony can bear the weight of the dynasty.

　　Curry is steadily promoted. In the 2003-2004 season, his third season, personal data rose to 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists per game, only one step away to be selected for the All-Star.

In the first season of playing Princeton, Curry benefited greatly, coupled with the gradual development of a three-pointer with a sharp top, and the increased dependence of the triangle offense on the inside attack and defense, he played He averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists. He was selected to the All-Star for the first time in his career. This year, he received a five-year 80 million contract extension from the Pistons.

　　Curry's rise and transformation means that Mo Mengchen's transformation of him is completed.

　　 But the voice of doubt is increasing day by day.

　　Because he didn't become an All-Star until the fourth year, for someone who is regarded as the hope of the future of the dynasty, the pace of progress is difficult to satisfy the outside world.

　　 "Grant Hill was the All-Star ticket for the second year, and Eddie Curry was selected for the All-Star in the fourth year. The gap is big and visible to the naked eye."

　　Remarks from the outside caused Curry a lot of trouble.

At that time, it was during the season that the Pistons switched to a triangle offense, and the internal must be stable. Therefore, Mo Mengchen rarely stood up to help Curry to speak: "Grant was indeed selected for the All-Star the next year, but he has passed through college before this Four years of hard work, that year, he was 24 years old."

"I need to remind everyone that although Eddie was selected as an All-Star in the fourth year, he entered the league at the age of 18." Mo Mengchen said heavily, "He is only 22 years old this year. From this point, he is not worse than Grant. , Not worse than me."

Mo Mengchen was strong for the Curry platform and stabilized the latter. The Pistons also found a triangle offensive feeling in the rest of the game. Then they played triumphantly and swept all the way to the finals and entered the finals. Hope to overthrow the Pistons' spurs in six games, and split it down twice to achieve seven consecutive championships.

　　 As for Anthony? He is the one that the media prefers.

　　 But like Curry at the beginning, it was difficult to get Mo Mengchen's approval.

　　Anthony is a talented player who wins from big to big and attracts the attention of the whole nation.

　　 Only, he is different from Hill.

Hill’s wealthy family grew up with a golden spoon, while Anthony was an inspiring representative of the American dream belonging to the black people at the bottom. He lacked a sense of security in his heart. After becoming famous, he indulged in outside praise and self-identity, and thought that he was the best in the world. Players don’t need to pay anything to step on the world.

　　After joining the Pistons, he thought he came to the team that belongs to the winner. He has always been a winner since he was small, and he can certainly quickly integrate into the team. He was wrong.

　　 First of all, he wants to play the bench, and not the sixth man, but the seventh man. His appearance order is after Zach Randolph.

　　 It doesn't matter, he accepts.

　　 When I first arrived, even Tan Huaxiu had to accept the team arrangement.

　　 But Mo Mengchen developed a series of indicators around Anthony, only for him, and only he needs to complete the indicators.

　　 The first indicator is that as a flower show, Anthony played 10 minutes per game for 23 minutes.

　　 This is a strictly limited number of shots, but it is not a fixed rule of death.

　　 If he plays defensively unfavorably, or has poor defensive performance, or is easily scored by an opponent without actively defending, his shots will be reduced by one.

　　 For this reason, a new technical statistic appeared in the Pistons: bad defense.

　　 In order to comprehensively count Anthony's defensive performance, the team specially hired a professional statistician.

　　Rookie season, Anthony averaged 3 bad defenses per game.

　　Why do you do this? The reason is that Anthony of the previous life has never been a good defender.

　　 watched his game, Mo Mengchen felt incredible.

　　Anthony of the previous life, the average positive and negative value of the career league defense is -1.2, the best year is just the league average.

　　 Amazingly, Anthony is a defender above average in the playoffs, and the average positive or negative value of career league defense is 0.1.

　　 This data reflects that: as long as he wants to defend, he can defend well.

　　Why has been criticized for bad defense? Poor attitude, don't care, don't pay attention, thus forming a bad habit that is difficult to change.

　　 has penalties for punishing him for being inactive on the defensive end ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and thus withdrawing his right to shoot, and of course there are reward regulations for when he plays positive performance, which will be discussed later.

In the eyes of Mo Mengchen, Anthony has many problems, and his attitude towards the latter is comparable to his treatment of Curry.

　　 It's just that Anthony's immediate combat power is much stronger than rookie Curry.

　　 As the seventh person, averaging 15 minutes, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 23 minutes of playing time per game, the team won 70 wins.

　　 For this reason, the planet’s first Celtics fan suggested that the league award the “Best Seventh Man of the Year” award, or directly name this award the Cameron Anthony Award.

　　Anthony lost to teammate Randolph with a slight advantage.

　　 The third grade Randolph took Reed's gun and averaged 18 points and 7 rebounds per game and was elected the sixth man of the year.

　　 In the 2004-2005 season, Randolph was removed by the Bobcats for the expansion draft. He doesn't want to join the Bobcats at all, but the regulations are regulations. Even if he is determined not to play for the Bobcats, according to the regulations, he can no longer return to Detroit to play for the Pistons. Therefore, because of his extreme hatred against the Bobcats, he changed his temperament and became a selfish brush. He averaged 24 points and 13 rebounds per game in a single season, helping the Bobcats to rank second to last, and finally selected Delong in second place. · Williams, indirectly helping the team complete the reconstruction.

Anthony picked up the girders after Randolph left and entered the ranks of the sixth man, averaging 28 minutes of playing time, scoring 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Finally, he was selected as the sixth man in the All-Star and was elected. The sixth man of the year.

　　Everyone knows that Anthony is about to enter the starting lineup.

　　It would be a waste of time for him and the Pistons to let him play the bench.
