Chapter 828: 1 cut will change

The second regular season game is still home, and the visiting team is the underdog Warriors in the West.
Mo Mengchen does not know whether the Warriors will rise as he is familiar with them, and they will only rise in the next decade.
The Pistons just took them to find Princeton.
This was supposed to be an easy game, but because of repeated mistakes, the two sides stalemate.
"Unbelievable, the Warriors can stalemate with the Pistons three quarters?"
"No, the Pistons made too many mistakes."
There are too many turnovers, which is the reason. In the fourth quarter, Mo Mengchen and Hill took over the game. The two of them took the majority of the team's scoring. They defeated the Warriors with talent and achieved two consecutive wins in the opening season.
The Warriors’ coach is the Celtics, and the famous red giant Dave Covens in the seventies. His evaluation of the Pistons is: "They remind me of the Celtics and Lakers in the eighties. The transfer ball is intoxicating, but you have to control your mistakes."
"Yes, we need to control our mistakes." Everyone in the Pistons knows this.
Then they set off for the first away journey of the season.
Texas three consecutive guests.
Later, there was a saying that a team that can win one of the three consecutive Texas players must be a team that has the strength to break into the playoffs; a two-win is a strong playoff level. If the team can retire from Texas, it will definitely be the championship championship of the season.
In the first two years, the Spurs dragged the back of Texas because of their sluggishness, but now, with the arrival of Gasol and Kidd, the Spurs have returned to the ranks of the strong team.
The Pistons' first away game was San Antonio.
The Spurs laid out a trembling lineup.
Starters: Kidd, Arenas, Kirilenko, Swift and Gasol.
In addition to the relatively short double shots in the backcourt, Kirillenko, who is a small forward, and the No. 1 pick can mix against any team.
The Pistons once again sacrificed their Princeton, the first quarter of the game proved that their tactics are effective for any team.
But they cannot control the number of errors.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs stepped up their strength, their mistakes began to increase, Miller was difficult to parry, high-court turnover mistakes frequently, back to the defensive end, Arenas and Gasol took turns in the penalty area, even Swift called this " The NBA supergiants under the neck all hit the Pistons' penalty zone hard.
Miller was washed away in an instant.
The Spurs established their advantage in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Mo Mengchen led the team to launch a counterattack.
The fourth quarter is Gasol's performance moment. He educated the Pistons' three centers-Curry, Miller and Magloire.
The Pistons lost, swallowing the first defeat of the season.
Gasol scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
In contrast, this year's rookie show, Eddie Curry scored 8 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 turnovers and 6 fouls, and was once again full of departures.
"The Spurs' power is obvious, and the Pistons' road trip is not easy." This is a statement from the Spurs home commentator Rudy Gander at the end of the game.
As a result, he was right.
Texas three consecutive customers, the Pistons suffered a three-game losing streak.
In the final game against the Rockets, former Pistons player Alan Houston shot at mid-range and scored 38 points plus the final quasi-killer, giving the Pistons a regrettable defeat.
"Since the start of the new season, the status of each team has been different. The Spurs have led the league with five straight wins, and the Pistons have lost three games and three losses. It is surprising that their average number of turnovers per game is 24 times."
"You know, the second-ranked Lakers have only 16 turnovers per game."
Mistakes, mistakes, good control mistakes, the Pistons can change the status quo.
In the sixth game of the season, the Pistons returned home to meet the aging Jazz.
This season, the Jazz are still dominated by the elders. During the offseason, Don Jell Marshall, the all-round forward of the wrong era, was introduced. Malone can still contribute 23+9 per game.
"So far this season, the Pistons haven't lost at the Imperial Axis Arena. Tonight they are expected to end their losing streak."
The game didn't start, Bill Lambir blew the Pistons with a trick.
In this battle, the Pistons made 30 turnovers.
"The last time the Jazz won the Pistons by 30 points, it was still at the University of Washington."
"A disastrous defeat!"
"The Jazz beat the Pistons by 30 points and the defending champion suffered a four-game losing streak!"
"Detroit Workers News" is furious: Is this still the champion of the invincible champion?
"New York Times" gloating: We announced that the Pistons officially withdrew from the championship.
More professionals are trying to analyze the reasons for the Pistons losing streak from a basketball perspective.
"After the defeat of the Jazz, the Pistons averaged 25 turnovers per game."
"It is well known that this season they abandoned the run and went to Princeton, where Adelman could not play in the Kings. We did see their changes, dizzying transfers, super smooth tactics, and once they were smooth Can defeat any team."
"But we all know that an increase in the number of passes means an increase in turnovers; a reduction in the time to process the ball means that the players cannot make stable choices."
"That's why the Pistons' turnover is high!"
"Maybe they should look back at themselves and think about how they won the three championships."
Questions about Princeton began to appear, initially from the outside. When the Pistons lost to the Cavaliers and suffered a five-game losing streak, dissent began to appear inside.
Now they have to take a five-game losing streak to two away, one is Indiana, the Pacers are waiting for them.
One is Sacramento, and the Kings encountered the same problems as them.
If the Pistons start with 2 wins and 5 losses and rank second to the bottom in the east, then the Kings start with 7 defeats and rank first in the west. It makes people feel like they are in a dream.
The first encounter with the Pacers this season, Mo Mengchen saw Jonathan Bender's progress.
He was very young last year, and this year has evolved into a super all-round fighter with 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals per game.
The Pacers' defense was suffocating, and the Pistons made seven turnovers in the first quarter.
At halftime, they trailed the Pacers by 18 points.
The players are frustrated. They are confused about the tactics in front of them. They were invincible, but now they are trapped by new tactics. Perhaps, should they try the tactics that helped them succeed?
Mo Mengchen didn't let the team run, nor did he continue to play Princeton. He noticed that there was a problem with their thinking. The most important thing now is to fight this game. Therefore, he increased the number of personal offenses.
It was a difficult battle. When Mo Mengchen scored 45 points but could not win, the outside world was desperate for the Pistons.
"Six losing streak."
"The piston dynasty crashed down this night!"
Hotel
The negative emotions in the team are spreading. In addition to Mo Mengchen, even Hill is a little doubtful whether Princeton can help them.
They are not explorers, they are successful, they have won three consecutive championships with running and banging, and now suddenly change the style of play, but played a 2-6 start.
Westphal decided to hold a meeting on the night of the most negative loss.
That night, every member of the team and the main staff of the coaching staff came to Westphal's room.
They sat together, but did not take the initiative to speak out.
"Guys, I just want to have a chat with you." Westphal said, "Our recent record is not good, you all look at it, but this situation will definitely improve."
"We obviously haven't completely adapted to Princeton yet, and there is a voice saying that we should continue to run away, I want to hear your opinion." Westphal smiled, "Please speak up."
The first to speak is always the most difficult.
Ginobili is willing to be this person, "Princeton is a good tactic, but it has never been successful in the NBA, the Kings have not played for so many years, so I think, maybe it is not suitable for the NBA stage at all. ."
With the first one there will be a second one, especially when this early bird is still sitting unharmed after giving his opinion, those who are dissatisfied with the status quo should speak up.
"Mainly because we didn't fail!" Rashid said with a throat. "If we lost to the opponent in the finals by running, I have no idea how to play, but we defeated the Lakers and won three consecutive championships. I don’t understand why we have to change, run and run, we are champions, we have played six straight games against Princeton! Which one is better, need to say?"
The echo appeared, and Rashid had a great voice in the team.
Hill glanced at Mo Mengchen, he was listening.
"I agree." Reed said, "Princeton allows everyone to get the ball, but honestly, I don't know what the best option is after I get the ball. If I run away, I know what to do. , Adam, you said that I performed best when I took the rookies to run away."
Froth nodded and testified for Reed.
"Everyone, it's a good thing without a step." Charlie McCann, who strongly supported the team to change to Princeton, said, "It took three years to get the first championship. , Princeton is a more complex tactic, but it can bring more possibilities, we need more patience."
"Charlie, we have all lost six straight!"
"Yeah, what more patience? Why should we put on easier and simpler tactics instead of playing nerd tactics!"
"what did you say?"
The restless emotions began to vent.
Coaches who advocate change and champions who are not used to new tactics are struggling.
The rookie who just joined the team this year was silent, and there was no room for them to speak.
"Mo, don't you have anything to say?" Westphal asked.
"You are all done, right?"
Some people don’t speak because they have nothing to say.
And some people do not speak, waiting for a suitable time to close.
There are others who can only have one voice as long as he speaks.
"Running and winning let us win three championships, which is true." Mo Mengchen's eyes turned to his teammates, he let the coaching staff pinch Khan, because what he said next will determine the future direction of the Pistons.
"However, these three champions, our process of obtaining it is getting more and more difficult. I think you will all agree with this." Mo Mengchen said, looking at the crowd, they nodded, "Why are they getting more and more Difficult? We are weak? The opponent is stronger? Or is there a problem with running?"
"In terms of results, running and bombing is no problem. We won three championships, and we can chase the fourth championship with the same attitude, but our journey will only become more and more difficult." Mo Mengchen's tone slowly Heavier weight, "Each team knows how to deal with us. They will try their best to control our rhythm so that we can't play fast breaks. If there is no rhythm, running and running will cease to exist. Game 7 of the finals last season , We won, but you should not forget how you won?"
"Everyone is cheering for me, but to be honest, I hate that kind of game. When all of you look at me hopelessly and expect me to score alone, the run is finished, you see? ?" Mo Mengchen asked, "Do you know what this means?"
The room was as quiet as the murder scene.
"The self-deceived idiot lying on the credit book will one day fail!" Mo Mengchen looked at his teammates fiercely. "Now we have the opportunity to transform ourselves from the inside out, but you have to refuse? Because of a little difficulty and frustration, you want give up?"
Mo Mengchen's tone slowly softened, "We can't play Princeton right now, but we have slowly adjusted in 82 regular season games. I don't believe that you guys who have created three consecutive championships can't control this nerd tactic!"
"All rejection is related to fear. No one likes strange things. I hate change as much as you do, but this world is so fucking! If you don’t change, others will catch up and throw you behind you! If you are afraid, don’t dare Dive into a whole new field, because a little failure is like a child crying and giving up, then you are really very kind~EbookFREE.me~ I am ashamed of you!"
It was so quiet here that I could hear my heartbeat.
The face that Rashid and others dare not even look at.
Mo Mengchen's tone became as usual, calm and calm: "The reason why we are reluctant to change is because we are afraid of the unknown and fear of failure. Few people are willing to accept this: the winner always seeks change, the loser will always Hold back. We can’t lie on past credits and pretend that we will never be defeated."
"For us, there is only one thing that won't change." He paused and whispered, "that is, everything will change."
What happened here tonight has made the coaching staff unforgettable for a lifetime, and they once again realized who ruled this group of people.
The players and assistants gradually left Westphal's room.
This internal meeting about the future of the Pistons is over.
Westphal exhaled softly, and now he can rest assured of preparing for the game against the Kings.
