Chapter 416: The Miserable Knight and Jordan's Hope
The Detroit Pistons are off to a great start to the season.
Well unexpected.
Heat, Magic, Eagles, Bulls, Clippers.
Even the Pistons themselves didn't expect a wave of five-game winning streak.
The Pistons are off to a neither good nor bad start.
The Heat, Magic and Bulls are all playoff teams, and the Hawks and Clippers are not complete fish.
The Pistons' lineup has changed a lot this year. Billups and Hamilton were traded from the Nuggets for Iverson, who is still at his peak.
Generally speaking, such a big change in a team requires a certain adjustment period no matter how you look at it.
But such an adjustment period was evened out by Iverson's super performance alone.
In five games this season, Iverson averaged 31 points per game and 48% from the field!
I don't know if I have held back the grievance of being abandoned by the Nuggets, but Iverson's state this season is surprisingly good.
The Pistons, which have won five consecutive victories, are also the only four teams to maintain a complete victory this season.
Both the Suns and Rockets have won seven games in a row, while the Celtics and Pistons have won five games in a row.
In terms of strength, the Pistons are of course incomparable to teams like the Celtics, Suns and Rockets.
But this excellent start still made the Pistons fans, Pistons players and Pistons coaches and management full of confidence.
confidence in the future.
At least, the impact of trading Billups and Hamilton disappeared under the Pistons' winning streak at the beginning of this wave.
Now the whole of Detroit is cheering for Iverson.
After being betrayed by Denver, Iverson seems to have found his feeling in Philadelphia again.
That feeling of one person, one city.
Although this city is no longer his original city, it still belongs to him.
Jess and the Pistons have a feud.
This kind of grievance is not only about thousands of games against the Pistons during the mission.
In reality, although the Pistons have long planned to rebuild and trade for superstars.
But he was the one pushing the Pistons ahead of schedule.
Billups and Hamilton did have his reasons for leaving.
From this aspect, the Jagged Piston was indeed broken up by him.
Although Pistons fans are now very satisfied with Iverson's arrival, they also miss Billups and Hamilton equally strongly.
What's more, Yees kept double-killing the Pistons last season and also staged a shocking lore against Prince in front of Detroit Pistons fans.
Now in Detroit, Ye Si is a public enemy of the Pistons!
Detroit, Auburn on the Palace Arena, when Yees took the Seattle SuperSonics players to the court, the cheers of the Pistons fans were particularly interesting.
"Michael!"
"Michael!"
"Michael!"
Pistons fans actually chanted Jordan's name!
Even Jordan, who was sitting at home watching the game, looked quite surprised.
His relationship with the Pistons is equally unfinished.
But Jordan quickly understood why Pistons fans hated Yes more than him.
Although his relationship with the Pistons is still unfinished.
But now among the stories about his relationship with the Pistons that are circulating outside, which version is he not more aggrieved?
In the end, even if there is really revenge, it will not be complete.
How many times did the piston fuck him?
How many times has he fucked the Pistons?
If he really had to repeat it so thoroughly, he wouldn't have put Isiah Thomas in the 1992 Dream Team incident.
If it really needs to be so perfect, the matters on the court have already been resolved on the court, and he will never stay outside the court.
As for the stories with the Pistons, generally speaking, he suffered a disadvantage.
But Yes, that's really catching the piston and beating it!
According to the statistics of the American media, Yes faced the Pistons' Five Tigers team, and now they have won all five games!
And every time they meet the Pistons, they are quite motivated.
Many reporters also asked curiously, but Yes never answered.
Jordan didn't know why this kid had so much resentment against the five Pistons back then.
But he knew that he liked watching the current scene very much.
He loves watching the Pistons hate Yes.
He doesn't hate Yes, he even appreciates Yes.
But those media are so fucking annoying!
He wants to see Yes lose now!
There are a total of five opponents in this Supersonic trip to the East, the Pistons, Magic, Heat, Eagles and their Bobcats.
From the current point of view, the only one of these five opponents who can beat Yes is the Pistons!
It's not that he grows the ambition of the west and destroys the prestige of the east.
He also doesn't believe that Yes and the Sonics are as powerful as the media boasted.
Why is Yes's strength comparable to his, and it's only been so many years, these guys have already forgotten the terror of his boss Joe?
Even if he agrees with Pi Er's old boy's statement about Yes's most difficult road, taking Durant and Rondo to win the championship is indeed the most difficult road to championship in history.
None of his six titles come close.
But that will have to wait until he has more crowns first!
What Yes has the strongest ability to lead the team in history, and the Sonics will definitely make it to the playoffs.
He doesn't believe it!
Just like that guy from Scott said, a player who only shoots 34% of 30+ shots per game and is also a defensive colander, this team is dead!
With the crazy environment in the West, he believes that the Sonics will fall out of the playoffs sooner or later!
But the problem is, even if the Sonics can't make the playoffs in the West, the Sonics are still a team in the West!
As long as it is a Western team, it will be a nightmare for the Eastern Conference this season.
If you say it, no one will believe it.
The new season has been played for two weeks.
So far, the only Eastern teams that have beaten Western teams are the Celtics, Pistons and Wizards.
Let me tell you something that no one will believe.
Before the start of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers, considered the second strongest in the East, now have a record of only 1 win and 7 losses.
That's right, only 1 win and 7 losses!
Because of the eight games at the beginning of the Cavaliers season, seven games were against Western teams!
Lost the Mavericks at home by 18 points.
The Knicks won by 6 points at home.
Lost away to the Suns by 15 points.
Back-to-back away games were lore by the Warriors' Monta Alice.
The away game lost to the Jazz by 2 points.
The Kings lost back-to-back away games by 2 points.
The away game was beaten by Nick Young of the Clippers.
In the last game of the Western Conference's six-game streak, the Nuggets played away and lost 22 points to the Nuggets!
The knight was out of luck.
It was a six-game losing streak at the beginning.
But no one would laugh at the Cavaliers.
It is true that the Western Conference teams have been too fierce in the past two seasons, and this season is especially fierce!
Last season, the West still had the so-called belly, but this season the West doesn't even have the belly!
The Cavaliers are indeed unlucky, with six away games in the West and three back-to-backs. As far as the strength of the West is concerned this year, the strongest Celtics in the East are enough to drink a pot in this schedule.
What's more, the Celtics are not without a losing streak in the West.
At the end of last season, the Celtics of the Big Three lost five consecutive trips in the West, didn't they also lose all of them?
Jordan feels that after he retired, the East has really gotten better and better recently!
Why such a dish?
It is because the management of the eastern team has a poor vision, no matter whether it is a high pick or a low pick, no truly outstanding players can be selected.
Compared with the East, the management in the West is generally very good.
It is rare for Durant to be selected with the second pick in the West.
For a while, Jordan was really angry with these eastern managements!
As long as these guys are more aggressive, the West will not be so arrogant, Yes will not be so arrogant, and the media will not be so arrogant!
He doesn't have to pin his hopes on the Pistons anymore!
Fortunately, the Pistons are still trustworthy.
What's more, the supersonic speed is indeed not as strong as it seems.
Don't be intimidated by their 5-1 record.
Many people in many teams may indeed be frightened by Yes and such a record, but with the grievances between the Pistons and Yes, it is impossible for the Pistons to be frightened!
Jordan is very confident. He believes in this team that he has placed great hopes on!
The Pistons certainly can't be intimidated by the Yass and the Sonics.
Amidst the overwhelming sound of 'Michael', the two teams completed their warm-up.
Pistons head coach Flip Saunders is making final adjustments to the team.
He also placed great hopes on this game.
He was also surprised by the excellent record of the Pistons this season.
After losing Billups and Hamilton, his heart was cold.
It is the management's decision to trade Billups and Hamilton for superstars.
The team selected Stuckey, who is a combination of Iverson and Magician, which indicates that Billups must go.
Before Stuckey reported to the Pistons, general manager Joe Dumars hadn't made up his mind to trade Billups.
Stuckey's reputation in the Seattle training camp is so great that he has to check the goods.
As a result of the inspection, Joe Dumas was very satisfied.
Joe Dumas's satisfaction with Stuckey naturally means that Billups must go.
The only difference is whether to keep Prince or Hamilton in the end.
If Hamilton is kept, Billups and Princes are traded for Tracy McGrady.
If Prince is left, Billups and Hamilton are traded for Iverson.
The difference is who Iverson and McGrady want.
For him, there are two bottles of poison, and he must drink one bottle.
He was already prepared to die suddenly this season, and he might be dismissed midway.
I really didn't expect that Iverson took a turn in the Nuggets, became more efficient, and was willing to be a little obedient, and was very interested in revenge on the Nuggets and winning.
A bottle of mortal poison turned out to be a sweet antidote in the end!
It's too early to say Iverson is the Pistons' sweet antidote.
But now Iverson is indeed not as poisonous as the previous two seasons.
As long as it is not Iverson in the poison period, this is a player full of reverie.
After all, he is the player who led the team to the finals with a single core!
How can such a player not be loved?
And this game is a decisive game that determines whether Iverson can carry his dream with the Pistons!
"The Sonics are strong this season!"
"In the mighty West, the Sonics are 5-1!"
"And the Sonics double-killed us last season!"
"But! It doesn't matter!"
"Because this season's Supersonics are no longer last season's Supersonics, and this season's you are no longer last season's you!"
"Durant is getting weaker with more Sonics, and we are getting stronger with more Allen!"
"We can win this game!"
Philip Sanders is passionate.
But to Rasheed Wallace and Prince, this sounded harsh.
Does that mean we can't when Chauncey and Richard are around?
However, although Wallace and Prince frowned, they still agreed with what Sanders said in the last roar.
We can win this game!
The Pistons are in the minority with a slight frown like Wallace and Prince.
Most of the players are quite excited and excited now.
Especially jj Redick, who appeared as the starting shooting guard in this game.
He was a new discovery for the Pistons this season after Hamilton left.
Stuckey, who is a combination of Iverson and Magician, has the advantages of Iverson and Magician, but also has the disadvantages of both. He can't shoot from a long distance.
In this case, let Iverson and Stuckey start at the same time, there will be very big problems.
Starting two players with poor long-range shooting will make it difficult for the Pistons to deploy their tactics.
Therefore, the Pistons need a fake starter who can change the opponent's tactics.
Redick is the fake starter.
Redick can play 8 minutes per game in the false start, shoot almost 40% of the three-pointers, and average 4 points per game.
As for his defense.
Anyway, it's only the first four minutes of the first and third quarters.
No matter how bad Redick is, how many points can he lose in two four minutes?
Redick was the fake starter for the Pistons.
The kind of fake starter with a very low status.
In the NBA, the status of fake starters is not as good as that of ordinary rotation substitutes.
The fake starters are in the NBA, just like the son-in-law, they are bred.
Fake starters have a low status in the NBA, but Redick never thought his status was low.
A first is a first!
Yes is the starter, he is also the starter, everyone is the starter, what's the difference?
Maybe he's better than Yes, he's the starter on the winning team, and Yes' team lost one game!
No, after this game, there will be two losses immediately!
Last season, he could only watch the team lose.
He can't decide anything.
Those two guys who pinned him down on the bench took up the position and it didn't work, which made him very disappointed.
Now, it's completely different!
He can finally decide his fate!
And he finally has a real boss who can be trusted by his side!
Iverson, who brought the Pistons players on the court, had a grim expression on his face.
But Redick, who followed Iverson, had a look of trust and admiration.
What is an alliance superstar? This is an alliance superstar!
Just leave the matter of Yes to a superstar like Iverson.
He just needs to stare at rubbish like Rondo and Durant and beat him!
Four minutes up and down, only eight minutes?
enough!
Eight minutes is enough for him to abuse Rondo or Durant!
When he was the number one star in the NCAA, neither Rondo nor Durant knew which corner he was in!
Thinking of getting enough stats against garbage and defeating the enemy in this game, Redick trembled with excitement.
Only at this moment, no matter whether it was Iverson who came to the court or the Pistons fans at the scene, looking at the Supersonic No. 9 who was squatting on the sidelines and tying his shoelaces, there was a look of surprise on his face.
"Shoelaces Yes!"
Iverson's stern face suddenly became wildly excited.
Laces Yes?
So what about shoelaces Yes!
Those who should lose can never win!
The hatred in Redick's eyes became more intense.
