Chapter 21: Just a little bit

　　The whole group stage, the Pistons won seven games, averaging 18 points over the opponent.
　　During this period, Mo Mengchen averaged 9.4 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals per game, and played a surprising performance. More and more people are focusing on this fledgling but unknown young guard.
　　 "Mo, Minnesota has Kevin Garnett in the formation. He played a dominant level in the Summer League. Will you guard him against it?"
　　 More and more reporters came to interview Mo Mengchen.
　　 He showed the stranger of his teammates to the media. He smiled kindly: "The Timberwolves are a very talented team. We will do ourselves well and hope to bring a good game."
　　 This night's game is not intense.
　　The Timberwolves, as a new army that has just entered the league, their main player is only one Garnett, and the others are casually formed squadrons.
　　 Garnett at this time was not the most versatile power forward in history. As we saw, at the beginning, he was very thin and versatile. Therefore, his head coach did not know how to use him.
　　 He plays the third position on the offensive end and he plays the fourth position on the defensive end.
　　The Pistons soon took control of the game. Although they did not have such an absolute talent as Garnett, they had the utmost dedication, even those who wanted to seek an NBA contract, also obeyed the instructions of Mo Mengchen.
　　 "When players from other teams are showing their talents and telling the world how good they are, I saw a team in Detroit."
　　 "In other games, I just saw players with different talents, and here, I saw the team."
　　 "The cowhide is cooked, the noodles are fried, and the yolk pie can be eaten. Friends, this game is over!"
　　 "Detroit won Minnesota!"
　　 "Mo won three pairs!"
　　 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. With such a triple-double, Mo Mengchen led the team through the Timberwolves and reached the semifinals.
　　 Dressing room
　　 "We made some mistakes that shouldn't happen tonight. This game could have been easier. You can also show a better side in front of the league, but you messed up."
　　Mo Mengchen said.
　　 "Mo, is it just a mistake?" Reid asked.
　　 "Yes, just wrong." Mo Mengchen said.
　　 It's not that Rhett Yu Momengchen is talking about God.
　　Mo Mengchen has a strict indicator of error, and he rarely praises others.
　　 mistakes, very mistakes, serious mistakes, not even mistakes.
　　The above four criteria, with increasing severity, he only said errors tonight, without any prefixes, indicating that everyone has improved. After all, every previous game was at least "very wrong."
　　 After a while, Joe Lynch came, he praised the team's resilience and spoke highly of Mo Mengchen.
After 　　 disbanded, the team returned to the hotel.
　　Mo Mengchen asked for a report from the team assistant. It was the report of tomorrow's opponent, the Chicago Bulls.
　　The Bulls have just gone through a losing season.
　　 Jordan came back, but in the semi-finals they were eliminated by young and frivolous magic. Then, the whole world was saying that Jordan is old and the Bull Dynasty no longer exists.
　　 This summer league bull team certainly can not see the figure of Jordan, although the trapeze wants to prove that he can still kill any opponent, but will not commit to participate in this kind of competition.
　　 The team that can reach the semifinals is undoubtedly the top summer league team, and there are not many lottery picks in the Bulls, they rely on some rookies, plus a few experienced veterans hit this point.
　　 Like this kind of team that does not depend on the top, it is the most difficult team to deal with in the summer league.
　　Mo Mengchen passed the list in his mind, and quickly took down their field goal percentages.
　　 next day
　　 They practice in the training hall arranged by the Rocky Mountain Summer League Association.
　　 Game day is tomorrow, Lynch asked the players to play a 20-minute match after the warm-up.
　　 This match, the main team, the substitute team.
　　 But the bench was playing well, leading the main force by 11 points.
　　 The biggest problem comes from Ratliff. He completely lost his ability to run in the restricted area, giving people the impression that he is standing in the restricted area.
　　Mo Mengchen remembers that when he watched the Cavaliers' games in the past, once Loew stood in the penalty area, his score was basically lost.
　　The inside line that does not defend is the same as the waste.
Except Nowitzki.
　　 Ratliff is not the kind of disability that even if he defends seriously, he has proved that he is a high-level defender even in the NBA.
　　 But the problems he showed today have not been seen before.
　　 Weak feet, slow movement, the defense is not in place, even if the defense is in place, it does not take full force to take off.
"what happened?"
　　 asked Mo Mengchen.
　　 "I have a cramp in my right foot," Ratliff said.
　　Mo Mengchen called to stop the game and let him sit down.
　　 Then, Mo Mengchen squeezed gently on one part of his thigh.
　　 "It's hurt!" Ratliff scolded.
　　Mo Mengchen slowly got up and said to the bench's insider: "Clive, you'll succeed Theo."
　　 Lynch noticed the changes here.
　　 "Mo, what's wrong with me?" Ratliff asked.
　　 "Next break." Mo Mengchen said, "Your thigh is strained."
　　 "Strain? No, I just... I just had cramps, I had a strain, it was not like that!"
　　 Ratliff stood up.
　　Lin Qi asked: "What happened?"
　　 "Coach, my right leg has cramped." Ratliff said loudly.
　　 "Stop here."
　　Linch stopped the match.
　　Ratliffe is predictable if he does not listen to the advice. Mo Mengchen will not be like other people who have already sensed the danger, but will jump up and down because the object who is about to encounter the danger does not listen to the advice.
　　 He walked aside with the ball.
　　He is a doctor, he must let the whole team accept this.
　　How to accept this?
　　 is naturally the ability to know the prophet about injuries.
Today he said the problem, and Ratliff did not listen. As far as his current injury is concerned, as long as he raises three or four days, it will not be a big problem, but if he insists on playing and playing in a high-intensity confrontation environment After a long time, the possibility of the injury getting worse is 100%.
　　 The wounds that can be cured in three or four days may take weeks or even months to recover.
　　 This is the price.
　　Mo Mengchen did not intend to tell him this.
　　 Tomorrow, he will still remind Ratliff. Before the game, he will also remind him that he will remind in front of the team.
　　 "Is Theo's injury serious?"
　　At the end of the training, Luo Er asked Mo Mengchen.
"Nothing serious."
　　Cash is indeed not serious. If you forcefully fight with injuries tomorrow, it will be very serious.
　　 It's just a pity that there is no future concept of rotation.
　　 In the future frequent rotations, some are to protect the veteran, some are really because of some minor problems, the team is worried about causing bigger problems, so let the players take a rotation.
　　 From the aspect of preserving strength, Mo Mengchen is a proponent of the theory of shift rest.
　　This theory is not friendly to fans, because some fans may go to the scene to watch a game, but the result does not see the player they want to watch.
　　 next night
　　 Ratliff played 36 minutes.
　　He was very strong and tolerable. Mo Mengchen seemed to be able to feel his thigh conveying an incredible tear to him every second.
　　The offensive of the Bulls is fierce, especially for the sprint of the penalty area.
　　 Ratliff completely dropped his leg and guarded the restricted area like an unyielding warrior.
　　Mo Mengchen's outside defense is not good, especially in the face of the opponent's breakthrough, he currently has few methods, and Ratliff's defense is crucial.
　　It is the existence of Ratliff that Mo Mengchen's defense will not be magnified indefinitely.
　　From this point of view, Ratliff insisted on playing, and the person who directly benefited was Mo Mengchen.
　　 In the end, they beat the Bulls by 1 point.
　　 The best player of the night was Don Reid. He penetrated like ghosts and completely destroyed the Bulls' position defense.
　　 This bull is good, it is not defensively focused on the defensive player.
　　 Tonight's Ratliff is phenomenal. He scored 15 points, 16 rebounds and 8 blocks.
　　 The game ended and severe pain invaded his body.
　　 He soon couldn't hold it anymore and was taken to the hospital for examination.
　　 "Mo, will Theo have big problems?" Lor asked.
　　 "A few months off, is that a big problem?"
　　Mo Mengchen exaggerated, that is the most serious situation. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 "Theo is too reckless, how can he refuse the doctor's advice?" Reid murmured on the side.
　　Everyone else agreed, and Mo Mengchen warned Ratliff three times, they were all present.
　　 "Theo made only one mistake tonight, a serious mistake, he did not listen to my advice."
　　Mo Mengchen said: "However, without him, the game tonight will be over, and we will not reach the final."
　　 No one disputes this point.
　　 "So, tomorrow's game, we fight for him!"
　　 "Yep!"
　　 That night, Ratliff’s inspection report came out.
　　 Thigh was severely strained.
　　 He wants to rest for a month for his momentary enthusiasm.
In the Finals of the Summer League, the Pistons' opponent was the Golden State Warriors led by the 95th overall pick Joe Smith.
　　It is worth mentioning that there are multiple lottery picks in the Warriors, and on the Pistons side, the highest pick is Mo Mengchen, the 18th pick in the first round.
　　 This is a game with a huge gap in talent.
　　 Due to Mo Mengchen's recent whirlwinds in the basketball world, many people are looking forward to this game. They want to see if this amazing Australian Chinese defender can bring this talented Pistons to the end.
　　 This night, the center who started out instead of Ratliff was named Clive Sold.
　　Falling draft from North Carolina. Although he only has a net height of 210 cm, he was afraid of confrontation and played in the fourth position in college.
　　 An insider who is afraid of confrontation, is counting on him to defend?
　　 At this time, Mo Mengchen missed Ratliff a little bit.
　　 Just a little bit.
