Standing pretty old

Chapter 285
On the same day, Ruan Erniu uploaded a group photo of his D-POY and ROY trophies on Weibo, which once again detonated the Internet.

Dayao was the most successful Chinese player before Ruan Erniu entered the NBA, but now Dayao, who is recuperating from his injury, has to like Erniu on Weibo.

At Er Niu's invitation, Dayao also opened Weibo and immediately sent his blessings to Er Niu: "I am also a fan of Ruan Er Niu now. I hope he can go further in the playoffs!"

In his rookie season, he blocked the rookie game MVP, AMVP (All-Star MVP), D-POY, ROY, and he was awarded the best of the month twice and the best of the week 2 times in a single season.

It can be said that Er Niu surpassed his predecessor Dayao in one season.

More importantly, Er Niu reached the second round of the playoffs in his rookie season, and Dayao is still a virgin in the first round, which fully proves that Er Niu's dominance is far higher than that of Dayao.

If before, some people questioned whether the 20-year-old Ruan Erniu was qualified to lead the national team, then the topic of discussion now has become how far the national team can go under the leadership of Erniu.

The matter of the national team can be put aside for the time being, and the journey to the playoffs has started again.

On May 2008, 5, US time, the Atlanta Hawks played against the Detroit Pistons at Philips Arena.

This was the first matchup in the second round of the Eastern Conference. After entering the second round, Ruan Erniu obviously felt that there were more reporters around him.

Just like what he encountered in March Madness, every time you defeat an opponent, the attention you receive will immediately rise to a higher level.

Excellent games always have various similar plots, such as various competition arrangements, such as hype concepts, such as those never-ending grievances and hatreds.

This season, if there is a team that the Pistons hate the most?That must be the Atlanta Hawks.

This season, if there is a team that the Eagles most want to pull down?That must be the Detroit Pistons.

First of all, the two teams are similar in terms of team building models. Woodson was even one of the members of the championship team that killed the Lakers F4.

As Larry Brown's assistant, Mike Woodson has seen first-hand how a top defensive coach can infuse a team with blood and blood.

Don't look at the lively and joyful atmosphere in the Eagles team. This is largely created by Er Niu's leadership and the mutual humility of Jiong Jisen and Bibby.

What Woodson gave to this team was the iron-blooded spirit like the Pistons.

From a spiritual level, these two teams are so similar!

Because of this, the two sides disliked their opponents even more.

Before the start of the game, American Dong Qiudi also specially edited a set of highlights of the regular season matches between the two teams and put them on the Internet.

The most popular scene was the scene where Antonio McDyess locked Ruan Erniu's throat, and Ruan Erniu "unintentionally" elbowed McDyess to the ground in the next game.

In the end, even ESPN, TNT, FOX Sports and other media put this video on their own TV stations. The battle was approaching, and the atmosphere was stirred up first.

The celebrities of the two teams also expressed their views one after another.

As a representative of the bad boys, Isiah Thomas said: "I still think the Pistons have a better chance of winning. In the playoffs, experience is crucial. Maybe the Hawks' strength can already be regarded as a strong team in the league, but they lack The experience of the playoffs, when it comes to crunch time, it will definitely affect them."

The essence of human movies - Dominique Wilkins immediately refuted: "Thomas' words are not objective. In fact, the Hawks have no lack of playoff experience at all. Bibby and Van Exel are both veterans of the league. Joe Johnson also has playoff experience in the Suns. Kraft Nguyen? Yes, he is a rookie, but he is the MOP of the NCAA, also in Atlanta, not far from Philips Arena at the Georgia Dome Stadium, he has the experience of winning in front of tens of thousands of spectators."

The saliva of the celebrities of the two teams is of course biased. Who doesn't want to talk about their own family?

Then, the off-court will stay off the court after all, and the outcome will still be decided on the field.

After the last performance, the Hawks and Pistons finally ushered in the G1 battle of the series.

The two teams shook hands with each other calmly on the surface, but in fact the flames of battle had already ignited.

The two teams surrendered their starting rosters as usual.

The Eagles are the same as before:
C Ruan Erniu

PF Marvin Williams
SF Josh Smith

SG Joe Johnson

PG Mike Bibby
But the Pistons made a surprising change:
C Rasheed Wallace

PF Jason Maxhill
SF Tyshawn Prince

SG Richard Hamilton
PG Chauncey Billups
This change was obviously unexpected by the Eagles. They did not expect that the Pistons would take the initiative to change, putting Jason Maxhill on the field and replacing Antonio McDyess.

However, it is foreseeable that this fat man with a height of 6 feet 7 inches (201CM) and a weight of 260 pounds is by no means used to deal with Marvin Williams. This is the secret weapon used to control Erniu.

Therefore, the so-called position arrangement on the starting lineup cannot be believed. This guy whose height is close to that of Er Niu, but his body is a circle thicker than Er Niu, seems to be a meat shield to deal with the rookie of the Celestial Dynasty.

Does Pistons coach Flip Saunders want to use this oversized guy to stop Ruan Erniu?

Woodson's heart was somewhat uncertain. With Kafu Ruan's speed, he should be able to kill this guy easily.

Rasheed Wallace and Ruan Erniu jumped the ball in the circle, and Ruan Erniu fought hard to win the ball.

Eclipse got the ball, went straight up half court, and handed the ball to Mike Bibby.

After Bibby held the ball to observe, he immediately sent the ball to Ruan Erniu who fell to the low post.

really!

Standing behind you is none other than Jason Maxhill, the surprise soldier of this game. This guy looks like a stocky rebounder type. Must have a lot of experience.

Ruan Erniu pushed twice casually, and found that this guy was indeed very stable.

However, in contrast, his movement speed must not keep up with Ruan Erniu who is as fast as a defender.

Er Niu pulled the ball with one crotch, and immediately turned himself into a face-to-basket attack mode.

A breakthrough made an emergency stop, followed by a straight arm back, Ruan Erniu easily hit 2 points, opening the scoring for the Hawks.

After seeing this scene, Woodson was finally relieved. The D-POY+ROY of the Eagles did not disappoint him. If the so-called surprise soldier fails to cause trouble for the enemy at the beginning, his value will drop immediately. up.

During the offensive round of the Pistons, Er Niu was guarding Max Hill boredly. This man had no intention of participating in the Pistons' overall offense at all. He just walked quietly on the baseline alone, holding his knees, as if he was accumulating energy.

It's not easy for Er Niu to lose to his defender, so he has to be like him next to him, firmly guarding the bottom line, and ready to step forward to make up for it at any time.

But the Pistons seem to have lingering fears about Erniu's supplementary defense, and they don't even mean to break through the basket at all.

With the help of Mark Hill's cover, Hamilton completed a large-scale off-the-ball run. After receiving the ball, he made a quick shot and hit 2 points.

This was a standard piston-style hit-the-wall coordination, and Jon Jonson hit the meat shield of Max Hill, while Ruan Erniu was locked on the bottom line, not daring to defend...
