Standing pretty old

Chapter 618 The Last Elegy ([-])

At 25:20, the result of the ground meat battle was that neither side could score a high score, and the score in the sports game was pitifully small. The free throws scored by both sides accounted for about 40% of the total score.

At the end of the half, at 51:47, the Eagles took the lead to end the first half with their strong strength, but the score gap was not enough to ensure that they finally swept their opponents.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Ruan Erniu sat aside murderously, one can imagine how much anger he retained during the battle with McDyess.

"Now, even if I let you go, you won't agree, right?" Woodson walked up to Er Niu and said.

"Of course, believe me, Mike, I can control my emotions, protect myself, and deal with the damned Detroiters." Ruan Erniu gritted his teeth and said to Woodson while applying an ice pack to the bruise.

Woodson nodded, patted Er Niu on the shoulder and said, "You have never let me down, and I believe this time will be no exception."

Woodson took out the tactical board, re-clarified the Eagles' zone defense tactics, and then said to everyone: "I don't like to interfere in the team's offensive tactics. To be honest, you have always done a good job in this regard. But tonight In G4, I need you guys to be a little more determined when transitioning offense and defense."

Eclipse asked: "Faster out of the ball?"

Woodson shook his head: "No, run faster, like you did to the Celtics last year.

The Pistons ostensibly stopped you with fouls in the first half, but can they stop you for one quarter, two quarters, three quarters, four quarters?

Resolutely run up and drag them down! "

囧囧sen said with a depressed face: "I don't know about others, that fellow Hamilton is absolutely impossible to run away to death."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In the dressing room of the visiting team, the serious air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere!
The Eagles want to speed up, while the Pistons are just the opposite. They try their best to slow down their speed so that their opponents can't run, and they fall into the position and fight with themselves. Only then can they have a chance of winning.

Michael Curry emphasized: "Depress the rhythm, protect the rim, try to grab the rebounds, and reduce the number of rounds. We still have a chance. Don't let the fans down. We are the Detroit Pistons!"

The coaches of both sides are very clear that the key to this game is the battle of rhythm and speed.

The second half of the game began quickly, and the Eagles had the ball.

Bibby held the ball in a high position, and after using the cover of the lunar eclipse, he shot directly from outside the three-point line and hit the first goal after the opening.

After this series, the Pistons should reconsider Rodney Stuckey's training carefully.

Under the overall defense of the veteran Bibby and the Hawks, although Stuckey averaged about 15 points per game, his shooting percentage was only 38.6%, which was far lower than his 43.9% in the regular season. This is not a future main player Should be of a standard.

Looking at Mike Bibby, who averaged 14.1 points per game in the playoffs, shooting 47.1% from the field, and 53.3% from the three-point line, it can be seen that Stuckey is far from Billups on the defensive end. Reliable.

On the offensive end of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace was forced to take over. When the game time was nearly 24 seconds, he had to be in a high position, facing the defense of the eclipse, and shot with straight arms!

"boom!"

Roaring Tianzun is getting old, and his roaring to the referee for T is gradually decreasing.

For a player like him, the loss of the funny attribute is almost the same as a decline in strength.

Ruan Erniu took the backcourt rebound and immediately took the ball to attack the Pistons' half court.

McDyess tried to delay him, but Ruan Erniu's speed was too fast, McDyess was passed clean without even touching the corner of his clothes.

4VS5 in the front court, the two bulls went straight to the basket, made a one-stop layup, and used a tomahawk-style dunk to put an end to this offensive and defensive transition.

The gap between the two sides is too stark. After all, the basketball game still depends on strength to determine the outcome, not the so-called feelings and emotions.

What's more, the Bad Boys Corps never believed in this, they were loyal fans of toughness and iron blood.

On the offensive end of the Pistons, Hamilton used to slip the bottom line and get the ball after running back. After he jumped up and faced Jon Jonson's defense, he crossed the ball to Wallace who was also in the high position.

Wallace broke through with the ball, and while attracting Lunar Eclipse and Ruan Erniu to double-team, he distributed the ball to McDyess in the bottom corner. The latter shot from the spot and hit a mid-range shot.

At the most critical moment, the only Pistons who could stand up and score was Antonio McDyess, who was too old to jump.

This is indeed the last elegy, the desolate Pistons are doing their last struggle.

The moment Pistons general manager Joe Dumars made the decision to trade Billups for Iverson, the Pistons were doomed to enter the rebuilding process.

It's just that no one thought that the pain of reconstruction would be so strong that the Pistons, who were used to being strong, almost collapsed.

Judging from the introductions of various media, none of the Pistons players welcomed the arrival of AI. This statement may be unfair, and the relationship between the players is not as simple as that described in the media.

But in the game, Iverson's heroic style is indeed incompatible with the Pistons' overall system.

In front of the media many times, Joe Dumars, who publicly welcomed Iverson's arrival, was finally forced to hide AI in the snow, in a sense, it was also to compromise the team as a whole.

But this kind of compromise is only temporary. This group of old courtiers who rely on their championship qualifications and disobedient to team building are destined to be slowly cleared out of the team by Joe Dumars. This is the general trend and will not be determined by personal will. shaken.

Joe Dumars had an ambitious plan to rebuild another championship-caliber Pistons team and let Detroit win another NBA championship.

How long will the painful period of reconstruction be?

Dumars confidently believes that it only takes one or two seasons, but this is just his wishful thinking.

Miss a shot, get a defensive rebound, transition, score!
The Eagles successfully accelerated and gradually opened up the score. The defending champion played the game in the most correct way.

The last struggle of the Pistons failed to help them block the Hawks' offensive in the third quarter, and Will Bynum, who had been crazy for two quarters, also disappeared miraculously in the third quarter.

The X factor cannot represent the background of a team, and the victory must belong to the stronger side.

Ruan Erniu played the entire third quarter. By the end of the third quarter, he had scored 45 points, 21 rebounds, and 3 assists in a super double-double.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had reached 69:95. The Eagles led their opponents by 26 and entered the final quarter.

Ruan Erniu played another 3 minutes in the last quarter of the game. After efficiently scoring 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, he was pushed back to the bench by Woodson.

51分，25板，5助攻的数据是阮二牛给予活塞的临别致辞，89:122他率领鹰队以4:0的总比分横扫了活塞队。

What he took away was not only a lonely and powerful team that had long lost the ability to compete for the championship, but also brought an end to an era.

The name Detroit Pistons has thus left the position of the powerful Eastern Conference, and I don't know how long it will take to come back.

The Atlanta Hawks are striding forward on their path to glory.
