The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 269 Stoudemire Collapses
"What the hell is this new boss doing? He actually fired Dumas?"

"God, he must be crazy, doesn't he know what Dumars means to the Pistons?"

"If Li Xun is the tower of the Pistons, then Dumars is the foundation of the Pistons. Now Gers has dug up the foundations."

"I have a hunch that the Pistons might be doomed."

"It's not like it's over. As long as the players don't change too much, this year's champion will definitely be the Pistons."

After hearing that Dumars was fired, Pistons fans talked a lot.

They certainly can not accept Dumars ended up in such an end.

However, no one thinks that Li Xun will leave the Pistons because of this kind of thing. There has never been a situation in NBA history where a player in the team ran away because of the dismissal of an executive.

Business is business, and that's what most players think.

It's a pity that Li Xun does not belong to the vast majority of players. He has now formulated a strict plan to leave the team.

Especially after hearing that Dumars was hired by the Mavericks to be the president of basketball affairs, this strengthened Li Xun's determination to join the Mavericks.

The time came to late February, and the annual All-Star game started.

Three of this year's All-Star Pistons were selected as starters, and the votes of all three are not low.

It's hard to describe how popular the Pistons are now. Today, the Pistons are still undefeated this season.

Li Xun, Howard and Curry are now the top stars in the Eastern Conference.

As for the remaining two All-Star starting positions, James and Wade got them.

The Eastern Conference has already shown that the strong are very strong and the weak are very weak. Half of the Eastern Conference teams do not have an All-Star in their teams.

As for the West side, although it is not like the East side where the starters only come from two teams, their lineup seems a bit weak.

Especially the center position.

Shark Bynum became the starting All-Star center in the West this year.

Li Xun was speechless. This guy had six ribs broken by himself, but he was still selected as the starting All-Star?
But thinking about it, it's actually acceptable.

Although the starting center in the East is Howard, the backup center is Gao Yuanyuan, who is not as good as Bynum.

This time the All-Star coach in the Eastern Conference is Tang Shuai.

The last All-Star Spoelstra played tricks and wanted James and Wade to win the All-Star MVP.

Although it failed in the end, Li Xun even got a Howard.

But Li Xun is such a vengeful person, how could he not fight back.

So in this All-Star Game, James and Wade were replaced after playing for 5 minutes in the first quarter, just like Li Xun and Curry were replaced last season.

Because there is not a decent center in the west, Li Xun and Howard played heartily.

After the final game, the East won the game 145:138.

Li Xun won the third All-Star MVP of his career with a large triple-double of 45 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

This was Li Xun's fourth All-Star game, but he actually won three of them.

Since then, Li Xun has also become the player with the second most All-Star MVP in NBA history after Bob Pettit.

Pettit has won four AMVP awards throughout his career.

However, the statistics of his four AMVPs are actually not good. Adding up the four games together, he only scored 98 points in total.

Under normal circumstances, Kobe now also holds four AMVPs, but Li Xun screwed up two.

They were the All-Star MVPs in 09 and 11, respectively.

09 was Li Xun's rookie season. At that time, he relied on the effect of the magic potion to kill all sides in the All-Star Game.

Although Li Xun did not get it in 11, it was also the MVP that Li Xun helped Curry get.

It is equivalent to saying that Kobe lost not only a championship in the hands of Li Xun, but also two AMVPs.

With the Pistons' record this year, if nothing else, the regular season MVP and FMVP will also be in Li Xun's pocket.

Calculated in this way, Li Xun's career is a bit too perfect to be scary.

He only played three and a half seasons in total, but he was able to win three championships, three FMVPs, three MVPs, and three AMVPs, as well as various first-team and DPOY.

It can be said that there will never be any player's early honors in NBA history, which can be more perfect than Li Xun today.

Li Xun is an active player myth.

It's a pity that this myth has encountered some situations after the All-Star Weekend.

he got hurt.

Muscle strain.

In Li Xun's professional career for more than three years, he has experienced almost everything, except that he was not injured.

The fans are also used to seeing Li Xun in every game.

For such a long time, that is, when he deliberately took a rest before, Li Xun missed the game.

However, after the league punished him, Li Xun has not missed a game until now.

For a while, the fans were extremely worried.

Many players are not injured in normal times. Once injured, even if it is only a small injury, they will suffer serious effects.

Injuries like muscle strains are completely trivial.

Slight cases may not require a truce, and severe cases may affect the player's state and strength.

Li Xun was injured this time, but it wasn't actually an injury.

It's just that the training match has been played for a long time, and my thighs are uncomfortable and a little sore.

But Li Xun thought, since this season is a shrinking season, and he has already made up his mind to leave the Pistons.

It doesn't seem to make much sense to play or not to play in the regular season.

Simply taking advantage of this opportunity, directly declared the injury and started a truce.

If there is no truce, the Pistons will almost 100% win this season.

100% victory in the season, this is definitely an unprecedented super record, Li Xun does not want Gers to take advantage of this.

That being the case, he simply entered the injured list, killed himself and was injured, unable to play.

Li Xun's absence doesn't actually have a particularly big impact on the Pistons.

Even without Li Xun, this Pistons team is enough to be called a super powerful team, and it will even be the number one seed team to win the championship.

After all, Li Xun's hard work in the Pistons for so many years is not without gains.

But the strong is the strong, without Li Xun, it is definitely impossible to maintain an undefeated dominance.

When there was half a month left before the end of the regular season, Li Xun made his comeback.

Missed a full month and missed fifteen games.

Of those fifteen games, the Pistons have won ten of them and lost five.

It can also be seen from this that even without Li Xun, the Pistons are still a strong team. After all, they have a winning rate as high as 67%.

But also expert analysis.

This is still because the Pistons can't adapt to the rhythm without Li Xun. If they adapt, they may have a higher winning percentage.

In terms of influence, during this month, the one who had the greatest influence was actually Clay.

Without Li Xun to create opportunities for him, the performance of the young Clay was somewhat unsatisfactory.

倒是替补席上的武切维奇打的相当好，15场比赛场均登场21分钟，竟然能贡献场均13.4分7.2篮板3.1助攻的全能数据。

It's like a little Li Xun.

With half a month left in the schedule, Li Xun returned, and the Pistons began to maintain a winning streak.

Until the end of the regular season, the Pistons had a total of 61 wins and 5 losses this season, ranking first in the league's record list.

Li Xun's personal data this season is not outstanding, at least it is definitely not as good as his previous two seasons, but he is better than an all-rounder.

场均27.2分14.3篮板11.2助攻3.6盖帽外加2.7抢断。

Except for the steals that are ranked first in the steals list, other statistics failed to get the first place.

Among them, the scoring ranks third on the scoring list, ranking below Durant, who averaged 28 points per game, and Kobe, who averaged 27.9 points per game.

The rebounding list ranks second after Howard averaged 14.5 rebounds per game.

This ranking is very disappointing for other opponents.

The top two on the rebounding list are all Pistons players. It is conceivable why the Pistons have been able to maintain a complete victory this season when Li Xun played.

The Pistons averaged 63.4 rebounds per game this season!
The average number of rebounds of other teams in the league is only about forty.

It is equivalent to saying that the Pistons averaged 23 more rebounds per game than other teams, and at least six or seven offensive rebounds were required.

The Pistons can easily take six or seven more shots than their opponents. If they don't win this game, where will they go?

The assist list is behind Rondo, also ranked second.

The block list is 3.7 behind Ibaka, which is also ranked second.

The reason why the data has shrunk a lot is because everyone knows that Li Xun's strength has not declined.

But Li Xun's average playing time this year has been much less.

In the past few seasons, Li Xun's average playing time reached 36 minutes.

Not too many, but not too many. Ranking the playing time of all players in the league, this time can rank in the top ten.

But this season, Li Xun averaged only about 10 minutes per game.

Without such a long appearance time, it is of course normal for the data to shrink.

Li Xun took the initiative to reduce his playing time, the purpose is to give newcomers more opportunities to hone.

In particular, Clay and Leonard, the two players he is most optimistic about, need playing time the most at present, so Li Xun can do as little RBI as possible.

With the end of the regular season, this year's playoff list is also hotly released.

In the East, the Pistons, Heat, Bulls, Pacers, Raptors, Nets, Green Kai and Knicks made the playoffs.

There are still those teams in the West, but the Mavericks' poor performance this year is a bit puzzling.

Although the Mavericks didn't have the best record in the Western Conference last season, they made it to the finals.

To be reasonable, even if they don't take the No. [-] in the Western Conference this season, they can't be the last in the league, right?
Even the Bobcats won 18 games after acquiring Parsons.

The Mavericks have only won 9 games this season?
No one blames the Mavericks, after all, the average age of their team is ridiculously old.

Kidd, who entered the league in 94, has now become the oldest player in the league.

Because it is a shortened season and the schedule is intensive, the veterans of the Mavericks are almost in a state of full rotation, that is, Nowitzki comes out to play from time to time.

But he only played about [-] games.

Many Mavericks fans sighed, it seems that they can not expect Nowitzki to lead the Mavericks to win the championship.

Although the record is ridiculously poor, the Mavericks are very happy from top to bottom.

Li Xun wants to join the Mavericks. At present, only Nowitzki and Cuban in the Mavericks know about it.

However, in order to give Kidd and others a reasonable reason to be bad, they still said that at the end of this season, there will be a magical player joining the Mavericks.

It's all called miraculous, so who else could it be if it wasn't Li Xun?
So Kidd and the others are also full of joy now, waiting for Li Xun's arrival.

As long as Li Xun comes, is it still far away for them to win the championship?
In the first round of the playoffs, the Pistons played against the Knicks.

After winning, they will face the winner between the Pacers or the Raptors.

The Pacers are also the target that the idiot Gers wants to trade.

This season, the Pacers can reach the fourth position in the Eastern Conference. It is really unexpected. I am afraid that no one can believe it before the start of the season.

This also strengthened Gers's mind.

He feels that his vision is very good. If he trades with the Pacers at the beginning of the season, Granger, the boss of the Pacers, will be their Pistons player.

The Pacers will certainly not be able to achieve such a record.

He didn't think about how much the Pacers' record had to do with Granger.

The Pacers introduced David West this season, and then Paul George rose to prominence. In addition, their own lineup is good, with Gao Yuanyuan, Darren Collison, Barbosa, George Hill and other giants .

Although Gao Yuanyuan is nothing, but in this era of withered centers, using Gao Yuanyuan well to beat those weak teams is quite amazing.

Anyway, he is also an All-Star center.

Pickled Pepper started at the same time as Granger this season, Granger played small forward, Pickled Pepper played shooting guard.

It is said that the distribution is like this, in fact, the styles of these two people are almost exactly the same, both of them are typical swingmen.

In terms of offensive efficiency, the young Pickle is even higher than Granger.

So the Pacers can achieve this record, the relationship with Granger is really not that big, if it is replaced by another small forward who averages 20 points per game, he can also lead the team to achieve this result.

For example, Rudy Gay of the Grizzlies, or Iguodala of the 76ers.

Even with this lineup configuration, the record can be even better.

In the first round of the playoffs, there were two Pistons in front of them. The Knicks were double-killed by the Pistons.

After two games, the Knicks lost to the Pistons by as much as 49 points.

Stoudemire was already stunned.

Li Xun and Howard only averaged 8 points and 3 rebounds per game for him!

This is a super insider with a maximum salary!
It's a pity that in front of Li Xun and Howard, he was really beaten back to his original shape.

Originally, Stoudemire met Howard because he was tortured by blood.

This is not a joke, Howard abused Stoudemire, that's a real abuse.

In the record of the two, Howard averaged nearly 13 rebounds per game, while Stoudemire only averaged 6 rebounds per game, only half of Howard's.

Not as many points, blocks, field goal percentage, and even assists as Howard.

The whole line of seriousness is crushed.

Now that there is another Li Xun to suppress, it's no wonder that Stoudemire doesn't collapse.
