Chapter 162 Rookie Wall Rookie Wall
Larry Brown really didn't want to lose, even if he was said to be picking peaches, it would be too sad if he didn't play as well as his predecessor.
Moreover, Larry Brown also found that the Heat restrained the Pistons somewhat, or in other words, the teams in this system restrained the Pistons.
The first is that there are super scorers in the team. For such players, they can often ignore defensive scoring.
In order to limit this super scorer, the Pistons had to shift more energy to him.
And in the opponent's lineup, there are other scorers, or people who can handle the ball.
As the saying goes, there are many players.
Under such circumstances, the defensive efficiency of the Pistons will inevitably be greatly reduced.
And under such circumstances, if they can't score any more points, they will definitely lose.
As for the Pistons, as a team that has always regarded the goal as winning the championship, who are the imaginary opponents?
Pacers in the east, Lakers and Spurs in the west.
It can be said that these teams have a lot of offensive players, and they are not so easy to deal with.
The Pacers in the East are slightly worse, but no one can lose to the Pacers.
Otherwise, picking peaches and having the reputation of being a coach of parallel imports would be a sure thing.
So, Larry Brown decided to find the boss, ask for money, and sign up!
There were not too many surprises. After Eddie Jones and Brad succeeded successively, the Pistons did not dare to double-team Chen Mo casually.
The Heat's offense has been fully played out. Although it is not as good as usual, the Pistons' defense is still very good after all.
But, who made the Pistons' offense worse.
If Billups hadn't stood up in the fourth quarter, shot from inside and outside, and scored 10 in a single quarter, the game would have been spent.
Billups stepped forward, and Chen Mo did not sit idle, but hit two consecutive three-pointers, completely killing the game.
In the end, the Heat won this strong dialogue with 86:79, and the Heat ranked first in the Eastern Conference.
It has to be said that this record surprised everyone, after all, no one expected it.
Moreover, they overthrew a lot of strong teams one after another, and more and more teams paid attention to the Heat and Chen Mo.
Even, some people have begun to study Chen Mo's style of play and his shooting hotspots.
It was to better restrict Chen Mo.
There is no way, Chen Mo's performance is too impressive.
In this game alone, even against the Pistons, he scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.
And after the whole season, he has 26.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists, playing the top performance.
Of course, there were many reasons why Chen Mo was able to rank second in the scoring list.
Normally speaking, in the past, although his score was not bad, it was impossible for him to rank second in the scoring list.
And this year, the stars of the NBA seem to be unable to play, and their scoring efficiency has dropped in various ways.
As for the reason, the NBA issued a new defense manual at the beginning of this season.
The league no longer specifically targets zone defense, which makes many NBA coaches who are good at defense very happy.
This is the main reason why various stars will not play this year and their efficiency will decrease.
In fact, it can be seen from the Heat's game that they have adopted zone defense extensively.
Although this is not done throughout the game, the effect of using zone defense at certain times is indeed good.
Don't say that NBA coaches don't like zone defense, which will reduce the enjoyment of the game.
As long as they can win, NBA coaches don't care so much.
While all the stars in the NBA haven't had time to adapt yet, Chen Mo doesn't feel much.
Because in the NCAA, many teams already use zone defense, and he is really no stranger to this.
More importantly, what is the most effective way to break the zone defense?
Of course it's a three-pointer.
Why is Tracy McGrady far ahead of Kobe and Iverson in this year's scoring championship?
Of course, because of the addition of Karl Malone and Gary Payton, it will definitely affect Kobe's shots.
And Iverson fell behind in the scoring championship purely because he was inferior to McGrady in three-pointers.
And Chen Mo's ability to achieve such results is also related to his three-pointers.
Swipe two three-pointers, the opponent dares to defend?
Of course, having a three-pointer and being able to break the zone defense does not mean that you can win the game.
In the next game, the Heat really lost.
The advantage of sitting at home, but they still lost to the Sacramento Kings.
I have to say that in today's game, the Kings somewhat suppressed the Heat.
The Heat also play pass-cut coordination and off-ball running, but they can't compare with the King's Prince system at all.
It's like Li Gui met Li Kui.
Well, the Heat rely not only on passing and cutting and running off the ball, but also on the singles of star players.
It's a pity that Chen Mo's condition is not good today, and he can't even play well with Brad Miller and Eddie Jones.
陈沫16投6中，只拿到了17分5篮板2助攻，布拉德米勒和埃迪琼斯分别只拿到13分和12分。
When the core players are not performing well, it is not surprising to lose the game.
However, whether it is the fans or the league, they don't really care about it. After all, no one can win all the time.
However, to everyone's surprise, Chen Mo's performance did not improve much in the competition in late November.
Throughout late November, the Heat had 11 games, and they only achieved a record of 5 wins and 3 losses.
You know, the previous Heat team had reached the top of the Eastern Conference in a short period of time.
Among these 2 losses, the Heat even lost to an underdog like the Warriors.
It's not that the opponent is too strong, it's just that the Heat have a problem with their performance, especially Chen Mo.
After the Wuchang game, Chen Mo only scored 15.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
If measured by the standards of a rookie, this is already a pretty good statistic.
But when compared with the previous Chen Mo, it was a world of difference, not at the same level at all.
"Chen's rookie wall is coming, can he break through it?"
"Is Chen a real superstar, or just a flash in the pan?"
"The strongest rookie king meets the last rookie wall, can he get through it safely?"
……
That's right, in the eyes of the major media, Chen Mo has encountered the rookie wall that all rookies cannot avoid.
It's just that the rookie wall is also different, it varies from person to person.
Some people can easily pass the rookie wall, it's just a time adjustment.
Some people will be tortured by the rookie wall to the point of wanting to die, or even being devastated.
Moreover, the major media are not particularly confident that Chen Mo can break through the rookie wall safely.
To put it bluntly, Chen Mo's performance in the early stage was really good, suppressing the starlight of too many people.
For example, James also has 20+5+5 data, but James can't compare with Chen Mo.
This makes Nike very uncomfortable.
Originally, they also planned to rely on James' performance against the sky in the new season to drive a wave of sneaker sales.
