Chapter 355： Roar, Tianzun can't roar

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

The Pistons have had a bad season, how bad, so bad that this team has completely turned people's perceptions upside down.

They have only won 29 games so far, ranking ninth in the East and out of the playoffs.

And recently they have once again won a 3-game losing streak. If they continue to lose like this and cannot make changes, the Pistons will be further and further away from the playoffs.

When was the last time they missed the playoffs?

In the 2004 Finals, the under-appreciated Detroit Pistons wrote a grassroots myth. They defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Karl Malone and Gary Payton and won the championship that year. Five Tiger Famous Shock Alliance.

After winning the championship in 2004, the Pistons still maintained a good competitiveness in the following years, the 2005 Finals, the 2006 Eastern Conference Finals, the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals until last season, which is the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals.

Before 2004, the Pistons were members of the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2002 and 2003, and after more than a decade, the Pistons have always been a strong team in the Eastern Conference. In the past 20 years...then we have to say that the Pistons are bad boys. Legion's story.

If the most stable team in the West in the last ten years is the Spurs, then the East is undoubtedly the Pistons. If they can be more accurate in the 2005 Finals, just a little bit, maybe history will change.

But even so, they were successful enough to prove that this team does have a unique charm. Whether it was blocking Michael Jordan or the Los Angeles Lakers later, the Pistons proved that they were never afraid of any ball. Team.

But now, the Pistons appear to be over.

The departure of Billups completely ruined them. Although the three tigers of Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and Prince are still there, more of them seem to be lingering.

The conflict with Iverson is just the epitome of the conflict within the Pistons this season. All factors are telling people that the Pistons are still more than 20 rounds away from missing the playoffs after a lapse of seven years.

At present, the 76ers, the Bulls and the Heat, who are ahead of them, have won 1, 2 and 3 more games than him respectively. It can be said that in order to enter the playoffs, every game is a tough battle that must be won.

But tonight, it doesn't seem like a good time to win...

On the evening of the 12th, the attendance rate of Madison Square exceeded 99% again, and it continued to dominate the attendance list this season. It is rare to maintain such an attendance rate on weekdays.

Coincidentally, tonight's opponent, the Pistons, ranks second in the attendance list this season. Although the record is not good, it still has an average attendance rate of 95%, surpassing the Bulls, Trail Blazers, Cavaliers, Detroit Pistons True love belongs to yes.

For the Pistons, tonight's game is very important, because the Bulls and the 76ers have won the game in advance yesterday, so the pressure is on the Pistons side, so although the outside world is not optimistic that they can win on the road, the Pistons The team is really set up.

At the beginning, as the team leader after Billups left the team, Rasheed Wallace assumed the responsibility of the boss. In the player tunnel, he loudly preached: "Listen, if we still want to go to the playoffs, we don't want to. Go home early to fish, then adjust the **** state to the maximum tonight, the Knicks are not terrible, we can defeat him!"

"Roar~!"

The team members are very face-saving, but an untimely voice came out...

"But who can handle that guy from Zuo Li..."

Rasheed Wallace is about to explode when he hears it. If I just boosted the morale, you should come to dismantle the stage, right? Do you want to mix up FUCK!

Turning his head to take a closer look, it turned out to be Kwame Brown...

It's no surprise...

The Pistons are now like this, in addition to trading Billups, who shouldn't go, and getting Kwame Brown, who shouldn't be here, also accounts for a large proportion.

Rasheed Wallace thought to himself, this guy can really say this... Then he misses Big Ben even more, at least he will never say such depressing words, even if he is the opposite O'Neal, a strong man like Malone.

"Let me solve it, listen, Zuoli is not terrible, put away your cowardice!" Rasheed Wallace shouted.

Kwame Brown shrugged, he wanted to say what Randolph was going to do... But in the current atmosphere, it seems that it is not appropriate to say this.

But Rasheed Wallace really did what he said in the game.

After he came up, he took the initiative to stand on the left on the defensive end and lost Randolph to Kwame Brown.

This transposition made the Pistons nod secretly, as expected of a true man of iron and blood, and he did what he said.

However, this defense is actually the original arrangement of the Pistons coach. After all, Kwame Brown's weak-side defense is very poor, and he can't block shots. There is no other way to defend except relying on weight.

And Rasheed Wallace is 210 cm tall, weighs 105 kg, has a better wingspan, has a good defensive attitude, can block shots and steals, and can move well. The Pistons coaching staff believes that he is more suitable for standing on the left.

Rasheed Wallace felt the same way. As for yesterday's hard-line style of post-up singles, it was Bogut's death. You said you didn't have anything to mess with him.

However this is not a miscalculation...

Zuo Li didn't want to run at all. In order to improve his confrontation, Zuo Li still practiced pure classical inside play, that is, hand-to-hand combat!

In the first round, Zuo Li went to the low post, slammed his back, and slammed the not-enough Roar Tianzun to the basket with three hits, and then scored the first score with a rebound.

Rasheed Wallace: "???"

What's the matter, take me for Bogut! This is!

"Tonight, Zuo Li is still very tough. Yesterday's score came from inside singles. Today, he is still playing like this. Zuo Li has recently become obsessed with the low position." CCTV Director Zhang said.

"It's also possible that he's obsessed with confrontation. Recently, it was rumored that Zuo Li didn't like rugby. The collision might have made Zuo Li a little excited." Yu Jia was on the front line of surfing.

Zuo Li was really excited. After finishing the first round, he couldn’t stop at all. In the next 7 minutes, Zuo Li backed up for the ball 8 times and succeeded in singles 8 times, scoring 16 points in a single quarter.

When he was replaced that day, Rasheed Wallace was visibly haggard...

"The roaring roar can't come out now." Buckley smacked his lips, expressing deep sympathy for what happened to Rasheed Wallace.

You said that with your weight and height, how could you possibly be able to defend against Zuoli...

28-19, the Knicks took the lead in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Zuo Li was replaced every 4.5 minutes. As soon as he came up to the top of the arc to get the ball, Rasheed Wallace's eyes lit up. Back to low again!

Rasheed Wallace: "..."

This time, Dragic broke through and made a wonderful pass, threw it high, picked it up in the air from the left, landed on Rashid, turned around and pressed the ball in!

bang!

The buckle is back!
