The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 120 Surprised by Zaza Pachulia
The regular season is over, and the playoff teams in the East and West are hotly released.

According to the rankings in the East, they are the Green Kay, Cavaliers, Magic, Eagles, Pistons, Heat, 76ers and Bulls.

The West is ranked according to the Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Rockets, Mavericks, Hornets and Jazz.

The Hornets on the west side were actually the New Orleans Pelicans later.

After they changed their name to the Pelicans, the Charlotte Bobcats on the eastern side picked up the team name of the Hornets and changed their name to the Charlotte Hornets.

On the east side, the Cavaliers' small tricks worked.

They really don't have to face the Pistons in the second round.

However, they will encounter the Magic in the second round, and the situation may not be much better than playing against the Pistons.

"Li, are you sure?"

Michael Curry looked weird and asked Li Xun.

At the press conference before the game, Li Xun said that he could sweep the Eagles without scoring. He thought Li Xun was joking.

Who would have thought that Li Xun was serious.

Li Xun took the initiative to ask for the center position tonight to face Horford.

"Uncle Huang, you will be temporarily on the bench for this round of the series."

"It doesn't take long, four games are enough."

Li Xun said to Jordan slightly apologetically.

"No problem, boss."

Little Jordan replied readily.

"Guys, when you get on the court tonight, just leave me wide open for threes."

"Whoever has the ball in his hand will shoot the three."

"I'll guarantee the rebounds, and we'll try to hit the Eagles at halftime."

Li Xun got up and said loudly to the generals of the Pistons.

"it is good!"

"Smash them at halftime!"

All the generals roared in response.

At eight o'clock in the evening, players from both sides began to enter the field.

Because the Eagles have a better record, they will have home court advantage in the first two games.

"Shh!"

There were crazy boos from Eagles fans at the scene.

Li Xun's rhetoric before the game offended the Eagles fans a lot.

Ear-piercing boos filled his ears, Li Xun smiled slightly, not paying attention at all.

Looking intently at the Hawks bench, he wanted to see what expression Woodson had now.

As a result, after seeing it, he discovered something remarkable.

Zaza Pachulia?

This guy is currently a member of the Eagles?
Li Xun hadn't played against the Eagles this season, so he didn't pay much attention to the Eagles' lineup.

He only knows who the Eagles' starting lineup is.

Unexpectedly, Zaza was sitting on the bench.

This guy is not a good stubble.

Bogut is fierce, he is clearly dirty.

As for Zaza, he is an old bastard, and there are a lot of players who have been injured by him.

The key point is that this guy looks harmless to humans and animals, and he looks gentle, but he just doesn't do human things.

As a member of the 03 generation, Zaza is now considered a veteran.

In terms of personal strength, it is absolutely impossible to do anything, and there is nothing left to eat.

But just by doing the dirty work, he can stay in the league.

If it's the regular season, Li Xun doesn't need to worry, he dares to play dirty tricks, if Li Xun doesn't beat him out, it will be considered clean.

But now it is the playoffs, a playoffs with an elimination system.

Even if Li Xun doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the team's record.

Once Li Xun is suspended for more than three games, the Pistons will be eliminated directly at least [-]%.

The only good thing is that Zaza is not playing the starting center, he is a substitute.

At that time, when he is on the court, he will rest on his own, and try to stagger the time when he appears on the court at the same time.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The starters of both sides began to appear on the stage.

The Pistons' starting lineup tonight is truly one-star.

Li Xun sits in the penalty area, Rasheed, Prince, Afflalo and Iverson.

It's a pity that Hamilton and Sun Yue couldn't make their debut, which made the Pistons' substitutions face some constraints.

In the jump ball session, Horford won Li Xun.

This is also something that can't be helped. Horford is taller than Li Xun, and his jumping is better than Li Xun. It's no wonder that Li Xun can win in jumping.

In the first offensive round of the Eagles, singles Joe took advantage of his height and arm length, and singles Afflalo succeeded.

The entire Phillips Arena boiled up, and countless screams rang out.

The Eagles home arena is quite distinctive. They not only have a bar selling alcohol on the sidelines, but even a barber shop, where fans can have their hair cut while watching the game.

"cast!"

"There is a board!"

When it was the Pistons' turn to attack, Li Xun stuck the thin Horford behind him and shouted at Iverson who was holding the ball.

Prince immediately stepped forward to help Iverson set a pick and roll.

Iverson made a three-pointer from the outside and missed.

Li Xun easily grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it directly to Rashid who was waiting outside.

Rashid also shot a three-pointer. This time he was lucky and went into the net hollow.

Horford couldn't take it anymore. He and Li Xun only faced each other for one round before feeling the unparalleled pressure.

It seems that when I was facing Warcraft Howard, I didn't face such a lot of pressure.

Li Xun's iron-strong arm pressed him tightly, and he had no room to jump.

He can already imagine that after a while, his rebounding data will be blown up by Li Xun.

"boom!"

Josh Smith hit the iron in the mid-range shot, and Li Xun grabbed another defensive rebound.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Prince still did the pick-and-roll, and Iverson made a three-pointer.

Unfortunately, still failed to hit.

Iverson, who returned from a serious injury, is in a bit of a slump now.

Li Xun grabbed an offensive rebound again and assisted Afflalo to hit a three-pointer.

Woodson on the sidelines looked sad. Even after only a few minutes in this round of the series, he knew that the Eagles were finished.

Huge rebounding gap, which is why Li Xunhao said he would sweep their Eagles.

"Josh, indent the inside line!"

"Help Elka rebound!"

Woodson cried out.

Josh Smith is also a combo forward with good physical fitness. He can indeed effectively help Horford get stuck.

But this style of play is completely tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Josh Smith retracted inside, which means that there is always one person on the outside of the Pistons who is open.

"God, this is crazy!"

"It's only been a few minutes since the game started? The Pistons' outside players have already made ten consecutive three-pointers."

"Poor Eagle, poor Woodson."

"Kenny, why do you think these people don't have a long memory? Don't they know that Li Xun is not easy to mess with?"

In the live broadcast room, Barkley grinned when he saw the scene on the court.

As a player-born commentator, he is too aware of the current situation on the field.

The Eagles are currently committing chronic suicide. The only way to wait for them is to lose. The only difference is that they lose more and lose less.

The Eagles don't care about Li Xun's words. Li Xun's offensive rebounds can give the Pistons countless extra shots from the outside.

If someone is sent to limit Li Xun's rebounds, they will inevitably miss people outside.

If Horford's rebounding has Howard's level, the impact will not be particularly large. As long as the outside players' shooting percentage is high enough, it can completely make up for the rebounding gap between the two sides.

However, Horford can't keep up with Howard, and the rebounding strength between the two is almost a little behind Jordan.
