Chapter 562

"A bunch of jerks, not as good as those girls from the Shock, it's a disgrace to Detroit!"

On the evening of May 2004, 5, Game 25 of the Eastern Conference Finals kicked off at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the home of the Pistons. After 13 years, the Pistons finally returned to the conference finals. Mars invited almost all the famous Pistons to the scene. While revisiting the glory, he also encouraged the morale of the Pistons who were in a disadvantageous situation.

It's just that as an important member of the bad boy army that made the whole league fearful, Bill Lambiel, the head coach of the WNBA Detroit Shock at the time, didn't have a good impression of the current Pistons. From the moment Lambiel sat on the sidelines Since then, Bill Lambiel has been constantly criticizing the Pistons for being too soft. Coach Larry Brown has no offensive talent, especially at the end of the third quarter when Meng Xu broke through to the Pistons basket Next, under the joint blockade of Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace, the point difference between the two sides was continuously narrowed, and after dunking Rasheed Wallace in an attack, Bill Lang Bill couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and stood up directly from his seat, not caring about his personal image at all, and started yelling while pointing at the venue.

Although Bill Lambiel did not go to watch the first two games between the Pistons and the Pacers, he also watched the live broadcast at home. For two consecutive games, the Pistons lost no temper at all, whether it was personal ability or In terms of team tactics, the Pacers have firmly suppressed the Pistons, but in Bill Lambiel's view, these are not the key to the Pistons' loss. The reason for their loss is because they are too soft to prevent the opponent. won't you foulDare to score on my head, it needs a price. If it was the Pistons back then, what Meng Xu did just now would have been fucked. I will let you take two old punches first, and then I will do it twice in a row to ensure that the opponent will avoid you when they see you in the future.Why is no one in this league trying to dunk or dunk O'Neal in the game?It’s not O’Neill’s reputation built up with constant malicious fouls. I don’t care who you are, as long as you dare to fly over my head, I’ll drag you out of the air and drop you to the floor.
"Bill, it's not our era anymore. If you follow the current penalty scale, with your style of play, you can commit 10 fouls in a game at most 6 minutes." After scolding, Isaiah Thomas, who was sitting next to Lambiel, stood up immediately, and forced Lambiel to sit down.

Isaiah Thomas also knew that he, an old man, had resentment in his heart, but why didn't he?After the end of their careers, they all hoped to stay in Detroit and continue to contribute their heat to the Pistons, but neither Isaiah Thomas' manager dream nor Bill Lambiel's coaching dream failed in the end. , On the contrary, Joe Dumars became the president of the Pistons directly after retiring, and Joe Dumars invited them old people to the Palace of Auburn Hills, and he didn't mean to show off.

It's really more popular than people, so after the hope was shattered, Isaiah Thomas went to Canada in a fit of anger, wanting to form an NBA team there, and then moved to the Pacers and Knicks, finally Realized his dream of being in charge of a team.And Bill Lambiel did even more exaggeration. This guy went directly to the WNBA and served as the head coach of a women's basketball team. What's even more incredible is that Bill Lambiel also led the team to win the WNBA championship. The coach brought a second-tier team to the championship in just two seasons. Although it was only the WNBA championship, it was enough to prove Bill Lambiel's ability.

"The NBA just merged with the WNBA. Compared with these sissies, I feel that the girls under me are more like a group of men." After being pulled down by Isaiah Thomas, Lambiel's mood He calmed down a little, but even though he sat down, Bill Lambiel was still chattering.

Seeing Lambiel's appearance, Dantley and the others on the side also shook their heads helplessly.

After many years of sinking, the Pistons finally saw the hope of revival. Under the leadership of Larry Brown, the Pistons reached the conference finals again after a lapse of 13 years. Come on, the current Pistons lack a trace of blood. Not only Lambiel, who is furious today, but even Isaiah Thomas, Dantley and others expressed that they are similar to Lambiel today when interviewed by reporters. In summary, there is only one point of view, and that is to hope that the Pistons can be tougher, otherwise they will not be able to defeat the Pacers in front of them based on their current strength.

In the history of the NBA playoffs, there have been many series in which the weak defeated the strong. Among them, the finals where the Pistons and the Celtics defeated the Lakers was the most classic. Like the Eastern Conference finals this season, the Pistons and the Celtics The strength is far inferior to the Lakers, so before the finals, most people were not optimistic about them, but in the end they achieved a counterattack in the finals.And the Pistons and the Celtics have one thing in common, that is, tough defense and the so-called "iron blood" spirit. The Lakers, who have always regarded themselves as aristocrats, naturally will not go all out with these mud legs, so in the end The result is that in the glorious history of the Lakers, two more championship trophies have been added.

"We will not give up, and we have never thought of giving up this round of the series. Whether we are behind 0 to 2 or 0 to 3, we will stick to the end." This is Larry Brown The declaration in the interview with reporters before the start of the game, and the mentality of the Pistons at this time is the same as that of Larry Brown.

The Pistons, who had no way out, finally had some different momentum in the first game after returning home, relying on their excellent defensive rotation, and Billups made 11 of 8 three-pointers in the first half. Hit, the Pistons eventually entered the second half with a 9-point lead.

The Pacers, who were behind in the score, also launched a counterattack in the third quarter. Although the Pacers' full-court pressing caused great difficulties for the Pistons, several Pacers players on the field obviously lost their aim. Even Meng Xu missed all three shots after the start of the third quarter, and the more this happened, the more determined the Pistons' shrinking defense was, and the more the Pistons shrunk, the more the Pacers couldn't make shots.

The scene was dominant, but the score never narrowed. Therefore, from the second half of the third quarter, Meng Xu gave up his plan to attack on the outside, and began to hit the Pistons' basket continuously, making several breakthrough layups in a row. After scoring, the Pacers finally narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.

As for the time Meng Xu dunked Rasheed Wallace, it was purely an accident, because when Meng Xu got rid of Artest and rushed to the basket, Rasheed Wallace had to defend NN Sheila Because of Leo, his back was facing Meng Xu, and after Meng Xu passed Ben Wallace, he noticed that the abnormal Rasheed Wallace was turning around to defend, and was dunked by Meng Xu up.

Meng Xu, who is used to strong winds and waves, will naturally not be afraid of Rasheed Wallace. There are only a handful of big men in this league who have not been detained by Meng Xu, but because the name of roaring Tianzun is too loud, so Meng Xu After Xu dunked Rasheed Wallace, he was a little more careful. After all, being careful makes the Millennium Ship. If this guy is like O'Neill with Carter, I don't care about you. You can do it first. , that's not good.

Originally, Meng Xu thought that Rasheed Wallace would definitely get mad at him after being dunked by him. After all, Rasheed Wallace was famous for his hot temper, but Rasheed- Wallace's next performance made Meng Xu's glasses go away, because Rasheed Wallace just clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and glared at Meng Xu. De Wallace complained, and Ron Artest, who rushed over to talk to Meng Xu for "reasoning", was held back by Rasheed Wallace.

"Rasheed did a good job, very good." After seeing Rasheed Wallace grabbing Ron Artest's hand, he had already clenched his fists and began to secretly pray that they would not pull impulsively. Lee Brown finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Pistons are still in the lead. If there is a conflict with the Pacers at this time, and the technical foul affects the state of the game, or even is sent off, it is definitely not a wise thing things.

It's just that in the eyes of Larry Brown, Rasheed Wallace's approach of taking the overall situation into account, in the eyes of Bill Lambiel and Isaiah Thomas, is completely a softie.
