Chapter 613: Enemies get together

　　 December 25, 1999, Christmas Day.
Playing in the NBA, sometimes the team is too strong is not a good thing, because Europeans and Americans are the most important annual holiday-Christmas, in addition to NBA players, all Europeans and Americans are at home for the holiday, reunion with relatives, and communicate with each other One year's gains and losses, but the NBA players in the strong team have to play in the arena during this supposedly happy time.
　　The Bulls finally found evidence that they were better than the Pistons.
　　At least...at least their team members can still have Christmas.
This year's Christmas War, the Pistons naturally cannot be absent. Their opponents are not last season's finals opponents, nor are the Celtics with a feud. The Bulls have declined, and they have been kicked out of the Christmas War shortlist, not to mention the West. Lakers.
　　The Pistons' Christmas War opponent is the New York Knicks who were determined to re-emerge before the start of the season.
　　 Seven months ago, New Yorkers ended a bitter season.
　　 They sent away two players, Ewing and Larry Johnson, who are considered unshakable in the next offseason.
　　 They don't fall to the lowest point like other teams and rebuild, they quickly create a new fighting force through signing and trading.
　　 The 9899 season was the worst season for the Knicks in the entire nineties. At the same time, the off-season of the 9899 season was the most successful off-season of the entire nineties.
　　 They harvested the league's first guard, got the biggest helper on the road from Michael Jordan, won the top five shooting guards in the Eastern Conference, traded to the league's best defensive center, and added 96 golden generation Camby.
　　 The Knicks' starting lineup has been formed. Throughout the nineties, they have been adhering to the tough and iron-blooded style. What Riley left behind is continued in Van Gundy.
　　 The brand-new Knicks, with three defensive talents including Pippen, Mutombo and Camby, Penny also indicated at the beginning of the season that he would work harder on the defensive end, and the facts proved that he did.
　　 Riley's Heat is exactly the same as Van Gundy's Knicks team system. When these two teams meet in the playoffs, they will always fall apart.
　　 Interestingly, as an apprentice, Van Gundy repeatedly made acts of bullying his ancestors and destroying his ancestors. His Knicks always won.
　　 This season, the Heat have become the bitterness of the Pistons. They are constantly fighting against each other like a machine. In the previous two games, the Pistons averaged 106 points per game.
　　 What would happen to the Knicks who might be better than blue? This is why this game has attracted worldwide attention.
　　 "Penny finally has a good team now."
　　 "This season, the Knicks averaged 103 points per game, while averaging 88 points per opponent."
　　 "Average 15 points per game."
　　If you want to make a reference, you can take the invincible 96 bull as a reference.
　　96 Bulls averaged 105 points per game, averaging 93 points for opponents.
　　 Although cross-season comparison does not directly explain the problem, nor can it make a conclusion that the Knicks are better offense and defense than the Bulls, but it is enough for reference.
　　 These two teams scored very high when they suppressed their opponents' scores extremely low.
"The Pistons are a completely different team." Vinier Johnson said, "This season, their offense is more crazy than last season. Currently they can score 125 points per game and average 107 points per game. All win 18 points."
　　 "They play the strongest offensive basketball ever, and at the same time, their defense is quite good compared to their offense."
　　Because of the famous run-and-run teams in history, they can get many points, but at the same time let the opponent get more points.
　　The Pistons averaged 18 points per game, which is what sets them apart from other running teams.
"long time no see."
　　Mo Mengchen and Penny met in the middle circle.
　　Hill shook hands with Pippen. The last time the two sides were so fierce, they had to go back to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1998.
　　 At that time, Pippen was still a member of the Red Bull, but now he has become the enemy's minions.
　　I don't know when the Knicks fans saw Pippen wearing his jersey, can they recall the button that Pippen crushed the gorilla in the air?
　　 After the warm-up, the game is about to start.
　　Fan Gandy put his hands around his chest, his face serious.
　　 Mutombo stepped forward and jumped the ball with Rashid, his body had more advantages, and the result was the same. The African mountain gave it to pennies.
　　The penny dribble forward, Mo Mengchen's defense followed, and at the beginning of the game, both sides were spying.
　　 Mutombo's iron arm crossed and stuck Ben Wallace's position. The penny then introduced the ball into the low position. The African mountain took the ball and launched a back attack stiffly.
　　 A very Knicks approach.
　　 Since Ewing joined this team, every time their offense is like this, we must let the inside play, even now that the gorillas have gone to Seattle, Mutombo has to take over this glorious tradition.
Mutombo's offense is quite stiff, he basically has no ability to respond, and it is okay to contain him, but with his heads-up technique, it is completely wasteful, in case this guy suddenly passes a good shot ?
　　Since the team didn't give him the first time, Mutombo hit a deep position and turned up. The reckless attack seemed to have no chance, but he put the ball into the basket.
　　Ben Ben’s height is short after all.
　　 "Mo, if you want to go inside, I have no opinion."
　　Penny said lightly.
　　Going inside? Mo Mengchen glanced. Mutombo and Camby watched. The two future block kings and best defensive players are already in place. Coupled with Pippen's sweep, the Knicks lineup is too strong when defending.
　　 However, it is not without holes.
Steve Smith, the peak period should be the top three shooting guards in the east. Now, with the rise of a new generation of star players, he estimates that he can’t even enter the top five. He has the ability to score 20 points per game, but there are also The opponent's defensive ability is 20 points per game.
　　Mo Mengchen dribble the ball slowly to the right and Houston takes a cover and slams straight into the free throw line from the top of the arc.
Among the crowd, Mo Mengchen took the ball with his left hand and smashed it hard to the ground, directly through Pippen's long arm, and reached the palm of the CIC king.
　　 "Beautiful Biography!"
　　Houston received a pass, his long legs took two steps, and the speed was extremely fast. Both Camby and Mutombo can only watch him make a layup.
　　 2 to 2
　　 New York's defensive strength is not as strong as expected, making people feel uncomfortable.
　　Last year they were a meat grinder team, but this year they changed their minds
　　Mo Mengchen didn't believe it.
　　 Moreover, can an unrestrained team limit their opponent's score to 88? This is impossible, with only one explanation.
　　 They kept playing.
　　 The Knicks currently have 22 wins and 6 losses, second only to the Pistons, ranking second in the East. They have regarded the Pistons as potential opponents.
　　Mo Mengchen saw Hardaway split the ball and immediately posted it for confrontation.
　　Since people do not want to show muscles in front of you, they can only push his nose to force him.
　　The Knicks can't change because their head coach is Van Gundy, a head coach who regards defense as life, is extremely rigid, and insists on self.
　　 A set of old clothes, he can wear for ten years. In the end, because the clothes were too worn and worn on Van Gundy, his coquettish Mediterranean made his whole person's image look extremely poor, and the manufacturers of other people's clothes made money to ask him not to wear that suit anymore.
　　 In addition to wearing, there is Van Gundy's famous ten-year-old broken car, no matter what it is, as long as he gets it, he can use it for a long time.
　　 This person doesn't like to change.
　　 Therefore, even if the lineup changes dramatically, the Knicks are still Knicks.
　　Penny split the ball, Pippen wanted to break the dribble, but Hill, who was against him, was no longer the hill he was educated at will.
　　Pippen could hardly do anything in front of Devil's Mountain. At this time, he saw Penny stuck Mo Mengchen low.
　　Just like passing the ball to Jordan, Pippen passed the ball to this young man who was closest to Jordan in his opinion.
　　 Hardaway faced the basket immediately after getting the ball and moved one foot back and forth, bringing some confusing information to Mo Mengchen. His direction of breakthrough was unpredictable.
　　 Then, suddenly started, Hardaway didn't expect there was an ambush along the way.
　　Alan Houston suddenly appeared, and Momo Chen wrapped up.
　　The two of them closed together and enveloped Hardaway's line of sight. The penny passed the ball to Pippen, and Pippen gave the ball to the missed Smith.
　　 completely vacant, Smith missed a shot.
　　 "Be careful of their counterattack!"
　　 Van Gundy shouted.
　　 If it is useful to call a word of caution, the error in this world should be reduced by 90%.
　　 Rashid grabbed the rebound, roared, and threw the ball fiercely to Momon Chen in front.
　　Mo Mengchen grabbed the ball with one hand, kept for half a second, and sent the ball directly before stabilizing his body.
　　 This is the classic fast-break counterattack of the Pistons. Rashid and Mo Mengchen will pass the ball as soon as they get it, and they will never be dragged.
　　Hill's speed is too fast, also running at full speed~EbookFREE.me~Pippen can no longer keep up with his speed.
　　 Devil Mountain catches up with Mo Mengchen's pass. In front of him is the penalty area. He simply neat, accelerates, jumps, and dunks.
　　After landing, Pippen walked past him.
　　 He gave way with grace and no physical contact occurred.
　　 "You are still as weak as before." Pippen said.
　　 "But I won the championship." Who said that Devil Mountain does not spray garbage? When he decided to spray rubbish, it was extremely mean. "Without MJ, did your sports career plummet?"
　　 Hill is more confident than Pippen because his champion is the boss champion.
　　 Even if there is Mo Mengchen who is not sure whether it is the boss, or the second guy exists.
　　His honor was placed there, not unlike Pippen who was the second child at first glance.
　　 In the backcourt, Penny rushed back to pick up Pippen's serve, and then returned the ball to Pippen to let him take it to the frontcourt.
　　Pippen and Penny basically don't communicate, and the cooperation on the field mostly depends on the eyes. As in this round, Penny uses a small action to make Camby step forward without a ball cover, and suddenly runs to the top of the arc to take a shot from the three-point line.
　　 A shot that was completely unexpected by Mo Mengchen.
　　 "Uh!"
