Chapter 565

"It looks like the Pistons are going to be swept by the Pacers as well."

"The suspensions of Ron and Chauncey have had a huge impact on the Pistons."

"That's true. Although the Pistons with Ron and Chauncey may not be able to defeat the Pacers, at least the Pistons with Ron and Chauncey will not be like today, without the slightest ability to fight back."

At 2004 o'clock in the evening on May 5, 27, the second half of the fourth game between the Pistons and Pacers had just begun, but the game had lost its suspense. After the start of the game, the Pacers gave an 10-14 spurt. Facing the increasing point difference and the increasingly impatient Pistons players, Pistons head coach Larry Brown had to finish in the third Before the end of the first quarter, all the main players were replaced in advance. With a 8-point difference and an incomplete team lineup, the Pistons no longer had the need to continue fighting.

The suspension of Ron Artest and Chauncey Billups did bring great difficulties to the Pistons. Under the blockade, he made mistakes again and again and even couldn't even dribble steadily at one point, not to mention the ability to control the whole court. In this regard, Chucky Atkins is not even qualified to lift Billups' shoes.The absence of Ron Artest also left the Pistons without a player who could lead Meng Xu. Although Richard Hamilton, who replaced Artest to defend Meng Xu, could always keep up with Meng Xu Xu's footsteps, but Hamilton's body is much worse than Artest's. Meng Xu doesn't need to deliberately bump into each other. As long as there is physical contact between the two, Hamilton must be pushed away.

"It's such a mistake that will cause eternal hatred!" Thinking of the third game of the series and the league's punishment for the gang fights yesterday, Larry Brown felt a palpitation. If it wasn't for the sudden fight, maybe the Pistons would have The third game has been won, and today's game is impossible to play like this, even the result of the entire series may change. Thinking of this, Larry Brown kept shaking his head, how wonderful What an opportunity, just missed it.

The group brawl between the Pistons and the Pacers in the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals was the largest brawl in recent seasons, and it was the first time in the league since the Knicks and the Heat in recent years This kind of vicious incident happened, and the NBA executives responded very quickly. On the second day after the end of the game, the punishment for the players on both sides participating in the group fight was announced. The culprit who provoked the group fight was Ron Artest. Was suspended for 5 games and fined $50000. Chauncey Billups and James Posey, who rushed to help punches, were suspended for 2 games and fined $15000. Artest's Dikembe Mutombo received the lightest punishment. He was only suspended for one game and it was over. However, the league also used this to issue a "finger-shaking specification" to Mutombo. After the block is completed, Mutombo can no longer shake his finger at the blocked player, because this kind of action is too provocative, but Mutombo can still face the audience or the camera on the spot Shaking his fingers, after all, how to say Mutombo's finger shaking after blocking a shot has become a special scene in the NBA. It would be a pity if he was banned like this.

The NBA's punishment seems fair, but Larry Brown knows very well that the loss of the Pistons is not just as simple as the suspension of two players.And if the league's penalty is singled out, the Pistons will inevitably be swept by the Pacers. As for the championship dreams of the Pistons, they were ruined by a fight like this.

Just when Larry Brown was holding his head in his hands, rubbing his hair and didn't know what to think about, the whistle for the end of the game had already blown. 97 to 81, the Pacers beat the Pistons again in the away game and won the first place. The victories in the four-game series swept the Pistons with a total score of 4-0, and as of now, the Pacers have also swept their opponents in all three rounds of the series.

"Congratulations, Rick." As an old coach who has coached the league for many years, although his team lost the series and it was due to reasons other than the game, Larry Brown still retained his due demeanor. After the game, he took the initiative to walk to the Pacers' bench and congratulated his opponent and his predecessor, Rick Carlisle.

After being swept out by the Pistons, Rick Carlisle successfully avenged his old club with a sweep. It stands to reason that Rick Carlisle should be complacent at this time, but looking at the silence in the Palace of Auburn Hills Fans, Rick Carlisle was not happy at all, and even felt a little melancholy. After all, in Rick Carlisle's heart, there was still a difference between the Pistons who had coached for two seasons and the group of players who had been single-handedly promoted on the opposite side. deep affection.

"Thank you." Rick Carlisle, with a melancholy face, also showed a polite smile after hearing Larry Brown's congratulatory pun, and then shook hands with Larry Brown before turning around. Walked in the direction of the player channel.

"Finals, finals, here we come." Although the head coach has left, the rest of the Pacers players started to celebrate on the sidelines. Final!

Meng Xu, Reggie Miller and others who have participated in the finals many times are still a little bit better, and those players who reached the finals for the first time in their careers, or even participated in the division finals for the first time, now seem to be Some can't help themselves, especially Derek Coleman, Kendall Gill, Kenny Anderson, Steve Smith, these veterans are quite excited. They chose to join the Pacers with a basic salary last summer , isn't it for this day!Isn't it just to follow the Pacers to the finals and win the O'Brien Cup?But now, all of this is in front of us, and it is only one step away from becoming a reality.

"Reggie, we will definitely let you feel at ease and leave safely."

Looking at the teammates who were still celebrating wildly there, Meng Xu, who had already walked to the sidelines, put an arm on Reggie Miller's shoulder. Reggie Miller originally planned to retire last summer. If it weren't for Hamilton's sudden departure, and the Pacers were in a hurry and couldn't find a suitable No. 2 position, Reggie Miller would not have chosen to play for another year, but after the end of this season, he has Reggie Miller, who is almost 40 years old, will not renew his contract anyway, so the Pacers want to use a three-peat to see Reggie Miller off.

"Thank you, Meng!" After listening to Meng Xu's words, Reggie Miller first got rid of Meng Xu's arm, thanked Meng Xu solemnly, and then took the initiative to hug Meng Xu Together, Reggie Miller knew in his heart that if it wasn't for Meng Xu, not two or three championships, even one championship would be very difficult for him, although his old opponent Jordan , and therefore ridiculed himself for hugging Meng Xu's thigh, but Reggie Miller was not angry at all. Compared with mediocrity, he ended his career full of regret and wore a few championship rings , no matter when, are very happy and satisfied.

After hugging Meng Xu, Reggie Miller walked straight towards the player tunnel, but Reggie Miller did not go directly into the player tunnel, but waited at the entrance of the player tunnel, where he was going to wait Alone, waiting for a successor I once cared about very much.
