Standing pretty old

Chapter 619

Won!

When the red light came on, the Hawks bench jumped up and cheered the victory.

Ruan Erniu clenched his fist with his right hand and raised it high.

With a smile on his face, he appeared confident and calm in the crowd.

Thinking about it carefully, this was actually the first time in his career that he swept his opponent in the playoffs.

Well, but this is only the second season of Erniu's career, even if the Celestials already have a faint No.1 status in the league.

The game is over, so naturally there is no need for tension between the players of the two teams.

Er Niu still wanted to step forward and give McDyess a high-five, but found that the former All-Star player had already left.

McDyess is not a bad guy in life, but in the game, he needs to use some means to win.

"congratulations!"

Rasheed Wallace was the first to step forward and give Er Niu a hug.

Roaring Tianzun's historical status was once exalted by some basketball editors in China. Among the so-called four major players (Garnett, Duncan, Webber, Wallace), Rasheed is undoubtedly the one with the most watery data, but since he After helping the Pistons win the championship, even though the data is far behind the top three, his historical lows have indeed improved a lot.

Ruan Erniu's straight-arm shooting training also drew a lot of nourishment from Rasheed Wallace's video.

Of course, people generally only pay more attention to Ruan Erniu's violent dunks, low-post performances and the top-arc three-pointer developed in the new season, but they often ignore a very important weapon of the Great Devil of China-12 feet -15 feet mid-range projection.

"Thank you, your shooting was once my learning object." Er Niu said in Wallace's ear.

"Really? Then I should be honored, Kraft, you still have a long way to go, I hope you can win this year's championship."

"Yes! No matter who the opponent is, I will not let the O'Brien Cup slip away from me."

On the other side, Hamilton is also saying goodbye to Jon Jonson who has suffered so much.

"When you defeated us last year, to be honest, I thought I would have a chance to get revenge this year." Masked Man said while hugging Jon.

"Come on, RIP (Hamilton's nickname), even if Chauncey didn't leave, you have no chance." Jon Jonson immediately shot back, "Have you thought about your future?"

"Who knows? Let's take a step and see! This is no longer something I can decide."

Hamilton is right, the rebuilding of the team is obvious, and these old courtiers will naturally be used as bargaining chips and be traded at any time.

Loyalty has always been cheap in the NBA. Billups may not want to leave, but Dumars insisted on changing him for Iverson.

Since the team will not be loyal to the players, why should the players be loyal to the team?

A superstar's choice to stay or leave is never wishful thinking, and is often the result of multi-party games.

Ruan Erniu and Jiongjisen, who are at their peak, haven't encountered similar problems yet, but what about the future?
No one can say goodbye!
At the press conference after the game, Pistons coach Michael Curry said: "We have gone through a difficult season. The strength of the team has indeed declined, and the health problems of the old players..."

"I just want to know why Iverson can't play?" A local Detroit reporter asked unceremoniously.

Michael Curry's facial muscles twitched, and then he coughed and said, "I was about to talk about injuries, and AI is also..."

"Billups is now leading the Nuggets 2:1 ahead of the Hornets, what do you think?"

"Chauncey did a good job. Okay, the next reporter asks questions." Michael Curry said embarrassedly.

……

Michael Curry's subsequent answer was even more disappointing.

He is destined to leave the coaching position of the Pistons after the end of this season, which is the consensus of most of the reporters present.

A person who has lost his self-confidence is not qualified to stay in the position of the head coach of the team.

Ruan Erniu then attended the press conference as a winner.

A reporter asked: "Kraft, do you think sweeping the Pistons will give the Eagles more confidence to deal with the following games?"

"No, every round of the series is different. We can only do well in every round and every game. The opponent will become stronger. The experience of this round of playoffs will be different from the next round of playoffs. Sai is not directly related."

The Detroit reporter who questioned Michael Curry just now suddenly asked: "This summer is Joe Johnson's contract year. Do you think he deserves the maximum salary?"

Ruan Erniu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although this matter is out of my control, I think Joe is definitely worth the maximum salary."

"So, do you think the Hawks will have room to strengthen after Joe Johnson signs the maximum salary?" Detroit reporter Tu Qiongdao asked.

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "This is not something I should worry about. You should ask Billy (Nate)."

Obviously, this Detroit reporter is an out-and-out Pistons fan. He not only dared to hate Michael Curry, but also didn't mean to let the Eagles go. Only high salaries can keep the main players, but what about other role players?
Although many people's contracts will not expire until the next season, but once the high-paying contract is renewed, there will be no room to renew other people's contracts, not to mention the renewal of Er Niu's own contract.

The two owners of the Eagles are not generous players, and they also have to consider the issue of profitability.

Some pits are being dug now and people have no response, but looking at them after a while, they are enough to make people doomed.

Fortunately, not everyone hates the Eagles like the Detroit reporter. The ESPN reporter asked: "Kraft, do you think you will be elected as the MVP of this season?"

Ruan Erniu asked with a smile, "Who is the MVP of this season in your mind?"

The ESPN reporter also laughed: "Kraft Nguyen!"

Er Niu lowered his body and said into the microphone: "I think so too!"

After speaking, all the reporters present laughed together.

Finally, someone asked whether the Hawks would like to meet the Magic or the Heat in the next round.

At present, the Magic lead the Heat 3:1, but it is still difficult to determine who will win in the end.

Ruan Erniu said: "I can't make predictions. I can only say that no matter who the final opponent is, we will defeat them and win the championship in the end."

For this sake, humility can be put aside.

No one is here to play in the playoffs. Under the cruel competition of WIN-OR-GO-HOME, if there is no firm belief and self-confidence, there is no way to make it to the end.

At the end of the press conference, the first team to advance to the second round of the playoffs this season was also determined.

After the Hawks swept their opponents, they will take the lead back to Atlanta to rest, waiting for the winner between the Heat and the Magic to challenge.

And looking at the entire league, the score of 4:0 is the only one.

The 2:1 score is actually one of the mainstream in the league. Currently, the Lakers VS Jazz, Rockets VS Trail Blazers, Nuggets VS Hornets are all this score.

The other mainstream score is 3:1, Magic VS Heat, Celtics VS 76ers and Spurs VS Mavericks are all like this.

It needs special attention, the first two are the top-ranked teams ahead of the bottom-ranked teams, while the Dallas Mavericks are on the broad road of the black six.

Injured Ginobili, Popovich has no way to stop the Mavericks' focus fire attack.

The only 2:2 score is the Cavaliers VS Bulls, Derrick Rose's best rookie is stable, as a rookie in the league, he led the team and the Cavaliers led by James just lived!

　The second is later!
