Standing pretty old

Chapter 614
What happens to other teams is ultimately up to the other teams to decide. Now the Eagles should still do their own thing.

On April 4, US time, the two teams continued to compete for the first round of G21 at the Philips Arena after a three-day break.

Before the game, Ruan Erniu said confidently: "We will go to Detroit with a score of 2:0."

Hamilton said on behalf of the Pistons: "The Eagles are very strong, but we will not admit defeat."

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides did not talk nonsense, and directly started a suffocating defensive battle.

Ruan Erniu held the ball in the low post, and immediately received a double-team. After passing it to Jiongsen, the latter chose to break through after a fake shot, and was once again surrounded by the Pistons, and finally shot the iron.

On the defensive end of the Eagles, the Pistons are also facing difficulties. It is extremely difficult for Hamilton to run without the ball even slipping the baseline tonight.

In the playoffs, the scale of the handcheck is far less tight than in the regular season. Jon Jonsen is definitely not Hamilton's opponent based on running alone, but adding the small movements at hand and frequent physical confrontation is another matter.

"Bang!", "Bang!"

The sound of the piston striking iron is also a little bit less!
After the opening, the hands of both sides were a little cold.

After two or three rounds, Erniu was the first to stand up. He suddenly made a reverse run in the low post and came to the top arc position outside the three-point line.

After receiving the pass from Salmons, he immediately chose a three-point shot~~
"brush!"

hit!

This season, Ruan Erniu only shoots three-pointers at the top arc from the beginning to the end. It looks mediocre, but he is the third most three-pointer in the team, only Jon Jisen and Bibby.

He averaged 3.6 shots per game, hit 1.5 times, and his shooting percentage reached a terrifying 42%, second only to Salmons, who took slightly fewer shots in the team but had a higher shooting percentage.

Not only can he become a low-post finisher, but he also has an extremely stable shooting ability in the middle distance. In addition, he has a three-pointer from the top of the arc and has more free throw opportunities this season than last season (reflected by the star effect). Ruan Erniu can It is not surprising that he scored an average of 33+ points per game.

His first scoring title in a single season also paved the way for Ruan Erniu's MVP selection.

Speaking of the NBA championship in the 08-09 season, people may still have various speculations and judgments, but in the regular season MVP predictions, no one will list Kraft Nguyen as the second place.

Many markets even directly canceled the option of who will become the MVP of the 08-09 season, because this is the most suspenseful award this season, even James and Kobe have played well enough.

With Ruan Erniu scoring consecutive three-pointers, the Eagles instantly widened the gap and quickly gained momentum.

Although the script of G2 is different from that of G1, the real strength of the two teams will not change fundamentally within a few days.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Pistons couldn't get over it. At 14:27, the Eagles didn't perform very well on the offensive end, but the Pistons' performance was even worse.

In the second quarter of the game, the two teams continued their performance at the beginning of the first quarter.

Whether it's the Pistons or the Hawks' bench, they all feel cold.

Atlanta's home fans booed the visiting team one after another, and only the ugly Pistons would play such an ugly game.

Atlanta fans obviously forgot that before Ruan Erniu came to the Philips Center, the Hawks had been trying their best to get closer to the Pistons.

Except for some gorgeous offenses by Jon Jonson and the flying dunks of the lunar eclipse, they are exactly the same as the Pistons on the defensive end.

After various defensive meat grinders, at 18:26, the Eagles still gained an 8-point lead in a single quarter.

At 32:53, at the end of the first half, the Hawks had a huge advantage in an ugly defensive battle, which almost declared that the game had entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

During the halftime break, Woodson reminded the Eagles players not to ignore their opponents, but to further increase the score and make the Pistons completely desperate.

The profit-hungry Dantou doesn't care about any passion now. In order to win the best coach again, he just wants to let the Eagles show in front of the world with an invincible posture.

What's more, Woodson also worked under Larry Brown back then, and now Brown has already transferred to the Bobcats. For Woodson, the Pistons are just a place where he stayed.

In the field of fame and fortune, everyone lives for their own interests. Don't say who is utilitarian, and don't say who is not affectionate.

No matter how good the friendship is in private, it cannot prevent the two sides from fighting for the benefit of their respective teams.

At the beginning of the second half, the Eagles played a convincing and crazy performance.

On the defensive end of the Eagles, Rodney Stuckey raided the basket and was sent flying by Erniu with a big hat. The Tianchao immediately jumped high, received the backcourt rebound, and immediately started the "Bull Sprint" model.

The frontcourt was 4VS5, and the old McDyess hadn't passed the logo area yet, but Ruan Erniu had already entered the penalty area with the ball, and flew up in two steps from the free throw line.

"boom!"

Ruan Erniu, who was rushing to the front court, used brute force to knock away Tyshawn Prince, who was blocking the eye-catching, during the assault, and then, the whole person even rose in the air, smashing the ball with one arm. basket.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded late, and he might have been frightened by the unreasonable dunk of the Celestials. After all, such a collision ability is too terrifying.

Prince, who flew out, stood up with a grimace on his waist, but fortunately he was not injured.

Unexpectedly, it was he, the guy who blocked the foul, who was almost injured by Kafu Ruan. This is really unreasonable.

From the perspective of the entire league, except for Boris Dior (Dior's pinyin is read apart) who is called the hanger by the Chinese people, he occasionally dribbles the ball across the halftime. After all, the behavior of immediately holding the ball and attacking the forward court is still an isolated case.

Er Niu has praised Woodson's insight more than once, and believes that Woodson has given him enough trust to allow him to repeatedly make such fierce offensive and defensive transitions on the offensive end.

But Woodson didn't dare to take credit for it. Egghead originally just wanted to give the super rookie some confidence and space to play.

More than a season ago, even if a future traveler told Woodson that Kraft could play so well, the egg head would not believe it.

Taking this offensive and defensive transition as an example, we can roughly infer the trend of the game between the two sides in the third quarter.

At 18:35, this is the score comparison between the two sides in the third quarter.

At 50:88, the huge advantage of 35 points finally made Woodson put down the butcher knife, while Ruan Erniu and Jiongsen clocked out of get off work in the third quarter of the playoffs.

In fact, not only the Eagles, but even the Pistons sent more substitutes to the field in the final quarter, conceding in advance.

Under the leadership of Will Bynum and Aaron Afflalo, the Pistons played a smooth offense, and used counterattacks to recover a little point in the final quarter of the game.

82:104, G2 ended amid the cheers of Atlanta fans.

The Eagles also lead the Pistons with a big score of 2:0.

Er Niu then packed his bags and set foot on the flight to Detroit with the team.

Before leaving, Eddie said: "Kraft, you must sweep the people of Detroit!"

Er Niu nodded in agreement, and turned his gaze to Dr. Han again.

Han Meimei smiled and said, "I'll add another requirement, 'No injuries are allowed!'"

The two then kissed goodbye to Eddie's protests.

On April 4 in the United States, in the first round of the playoffs between the Eagles and the Pistons in G24, the brave Ruan Erniu once again scored a large double-double of 3+45, leading the Eagles to a 26:110 victory over their opponents.

The Eagles led the Pistons 3:0, and they were the first to win the match point among all playoff teams.
