Chapter 416: The Miserable Knight and Jordan's Hope
The Detroit Pistons have had a very good start to the season.
The good ones are unexpected.
Heat, Magic, Hawks, Bulls, Clippers.
The start of a five-game winning streak didn't even surprise the Pistons themselves.
The Pistons' schedule to start the game wasn't good or bad.
The Heat, Magic and Bulls are all playoff teams, and the Hawks and Clippers aren't exactly the same thing.
The Pistons have made a big change to their roster this year, trading Billups and Hamilton from the Nuggets for the still prime Iverson.
Generally speaking, if a team changes so much, no matter how you look at it, there needs to be a certain adjustment period.
But such an adjustment period was flattened by Iverson's super play alone.
In five games this season, Iverson averaged 31 points per game and shot 48% per game!
I don't know if it's because Iverson is holding back the resentment of being abandoned by the Nuggets, Iverson is in surprisingly good shape this season.
The Pistons, who have won five in a row, are also the only four teams to have won all of them this season.
The Suns and Rockets are both on a seven-game winning streak, while the Celtics and Pistons are both on a five-game winning streak.
In terms of strength, the Pistons are of course incomparable to teams such as the Celtics and the Suns and Rockets.
But this excellent start still made the Pistons fans, the Pistons players and the Pistons coach and management full of confidence.
Confidence in the future.
At the very least, the impact of trading Billups and Hamilton was wiped out by the Pistons' opening streak.
Now all of Detroit is cheering for Iverson.
After being betrayed by Denver, Iverson seems to have found his sense of being in Philadelphia again.
That feeling of one person, one city.
Although this city is no longer his original city, it is still his.
Yes and the Pistons have a grudge.
This kind of feud is not just about fighting the Pistons five tigers in a thousand games during the mission.
In reality, the Pistons have long had plans to rebuild and trade for superstars.
But he was the one who pushed the Pistons ahead of schedule.
Billups and Hamilton did have their reasons for leaving.
In this respect, the Iron Piston was indeed broken up by him.
Pistons fans are now happy with Iverson's arrival, but the nostalgia for Billups and Hamilton is just as strong.
What's more, last season, Yes continued to double kill the Pistons, and also faced Prince in front of Detroit Pistons fans, and staged a shocking stunner.
Now in Detroit, Yes is an existence at the level of the public enemy of the Pistons!
In Detroit, Auburn went to the palace arena, and when Yes played with Seattle SuperSonics, the cheers of the Pistons fans were particularly interesting.
“Michael!”
“Michael!”
“Michael!”
Pistons fans are actually calling Jordan's name all over the court!
Even Jordan, who was sitting at home watching the game, looked quite surprised.
His relationship with the Pistons is just as unfinished.
But Jordan quickly understood why Pistons fans hated Yes more than him.
His relationship with the Pistons is still unfinished.
But now those stories circulating outside about his relationship with the Pistons, which version is not more aggrieved by him?
In the end, even if you really get revenge, you won't be able to recover completely.
How many times did the Pistons him?
How many times did he the pistons?
If he really had to recover so thoroughly, he wouldn't have played Isaiah Thomas in the 1992 Dream Team incident.
It's really going to be so perfect, the things on the court have already been settled on the court, and he will definitely not stay outside the court.
And those stories of the Pistons, overall, he suffered.
But yes, that's really a piston beating!
According to American media statistics, Yes faced the team of the Pistons Five Tigers that year, and now it has won all five games!
And every time I meet the Pistons, the Five Tigers are quite motivated.
Many reporters have asked curiously, but Yes has never answered.
Why this kid has so much resentment towards the Pistons Five Tigers back then, Jordan doesn't know.
But he knew that he loved to see the scene like this.
He likes to watch the Pistons hate Yes.
He doesn't hate Yes, and even he admires it.
But those media are so annoying!
He wants to see Yes lose right now!
There are a total of five opponents in this supersonic Eastern Conference tour, the Pistons, the Magic, the Heat, the Hawks and their Bobcats.
For now, the only one of these five opponents who can beat Yes is the Pistons!
It is not his ambition to grow in the west and destroy the prestige of the east.
He also doesn't believe Yes and hypersonic are as powerful as the media boast about.
What Yes's strength is already comparable to him, how many years have these guys forgotten about his Boss Joe's horror?
Even he agrees with Pi Er's old boy about the hardest road to Yes, and it is indeed the hardest road to winning the championship in history with Durant and Rondo.
None of his six titles came closer.
But that has to wait for him to have more crowns first!
What Yes has the strongest ability to lead the team in history, the SuperSonics will definitely make the playoffs.
He didn't believe it!
Just like the guy Scott said, a player who shoots 30+ shots per game and only has a 34% shooting rate, and is also a defensive colander, this team is the life of the belly!
With that crazy environment in the West, he believes that sooner or later the SuperSonics will fall out of the playoffs!
But the problem is that even if the SuperSonics can't make the playoffs in the West, the SuperSonics are also a Western team!
As long as it's a Western team, it's a nightmare for the Eastern this season.
No one will believe it.
It's been two weeks since the new season.
So far, the only Eastern teams that have beaten Western teams are the Celtics, Pistons and Wizards.
And then there's something that probably no one else would believe.
Before the start of the season, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were considered the second-best team in the East, now have a record of only 1 win and 7 losses.
That's right, only 1 win and 7 losses!
Because seven of the eight games in the opening eight games of the Cavaliers' season were against Western Conference teams!
18 points at home loss to Mavericks.
6 points home win over Knicks.
Away defeat to the Suns by 15 points.
Back-to-back away games were beaten by the Warriors' Monta Alice.
Away defeat to Jazz by 2 points.
The Kings lost by 2 points in back-to-back away games.
Away by the Clippers' Nick Young.
In the last game of the six consecutive away games in the West, he played the Nuggets away and lost to the Nuggets by 22 points!
The knight was unlucky.
As soon as it came up, it was a wave of six consecutive defeats.
But no one would laugh at the knight.
It's really that the Western team has been too fierce in the past two seasons, and this season is especially fierce!
Last season, there was still a so-called fish belly in the West, and this season there is no fish belly in the West!
The Cavaliers are indeed unlucky, six away games in the West, three back-to-back, in terms of the strength of the West this year, this schedule, the strongest Celtics in the East are enough to drink a pot.
What's more, it's not like the Celtics haven't lost in the West.
In the closing stage of last season, the Celtics of the Big Three lost all five consecutive away games in the West?
Jordan feels that after he retired, the East has really been getting more and more vegetables lately!
Why is it so dish?
It's because the management of the Eastern team is too poor, and no matter whether it's a high pick or a low pick, they can't choose any really outstanding players.
Compared to the east, the management in the west is generally very good.
It's rare for the West to have Yes pick Durant with the No. 2 pick.
For a while, Jordan was really angry with these managers in the east!
As long as these guys are more angry, 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 rely on the Pistons!
Fortunately, the pistons are still trustworthy.
What's more, hypersound is really not as strong as it seems.
Just don't be intimidated by their 5-1 record.
Many teams and many people may indeed be intimidated by Yes and such a record, but with the Pistons' grudge against Yes, it is impossible for the Pistons to be intimidated!
Jordan is very confident, he believes in this team that he has great hopes for!
The pistons, of course, could not have been frightened by Yes and supersonics.
Amid the overwhelming sound of 'Michael', the two teams finished their warm-up.
Pistons head coach Philip Sanders is making the final changes to his team.
He also has great hopes for this match.
He was also surprised by the Pistons' excellent record this season.
Originally, after losing Billups and Hamilton, his heart was cold.
Trading Billups and Hamilton for superstars was a management decision.
The team's selection of Starkey, a combination of Iverson and Magic, is a sign that Billups is a must-go.
Before Starkey came to the Pistons report, the team's general manager, Joe Dumas, had not made up his mind to trade Billups.
Starkey's reputation at training camp in Seattle is so great that it always has to be inspected.
As a result of the inspection, Jo Dumas was very satisfied.
Jo Dumas's satisfaction with Starkey naturally meant that Billups had to go.
The difference is only whether Prince or Hamilton will be left in the end.
Keeping Hamilton would be trading Billups and Prince for Maddie.
Keeping Prince, then trading Billupsga Hamilton for Iverson.
The difference is a question of who Iverson and Maddie want.
For him, two bottles of poison must always be drunk, and it is not okay not to drink it.
He was ready for a sudden death this season, and he might be out of class halfway through.
I really didn't expect that Iverson turned around the Nuggets, became more efficient, and was willing to be a little obedient, and was very interested in taking 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 that Iverson is the antidote to the Pistons' sweetness.
But Iverson is certainly not the poison of the previous two seasons.
As long as it's not Iverson, who is not in the poison period, this is a player full of reverie.
After all, he is a single-core player who leads the team to the finals!
How can such a player not be loved?
And this game is a decisive game that will decide whether Iverson can carry his and Pistons' dreams!
"The supersonic speed of the season is strong!"
"In the mighty West, the SuperSonics have a 5-1 record!"
"And the SuperSonics doubled us last season!"
"But! It doesn't matter! ”
"Because this season's supersonic speed is no longer last season's supersonic, and this season's you are no longer last season's you!"
"With more supersounds, Durant is getting weaker, and with more of us, Allen is getting stronger!"
"We can win this game!"
Philip Sanders is passionate.
But to Rashid Wallace and Prince, that sounded harsh.
Is this saying that when Chauncey and Richard were there, we couldn't?
Still, while Wallace and Prince frowned, they agreed with Sanders' final rant.
We can win this game!
The Pistons are a minority with a slight frown like Wallace and Prince.
Most of the players are quite excited and excited right now.
In particular, J.J. Redick, who appeared as a starting point guard in this game.
After Hamilton's departure, he was a new discovery for the Pistons this season.
Starkey, who combines Iverson and Magic, has the advantages of Iverson and Magic, as well as the shortcomings of the two, and he can't shoot from a distance.
In this case, it would be very problematic to have Iverson and Starkey start at the same time.
Starting with two players who don't shoot well from long range will make it difficult for the Pistons to unfold their tactics.
So, the Pistons need a fake starter who can change the opponent's tactics.
Redick was the fake starter.
Redick played eight minutes per game in the fake starters, shot almost 40 percent from three-point range, and averaged four points per game.
As for his defensive problems.
Anyway, it's only four minutes before the first and third quarters open.
Even if Redick is worse, how many points can he concede in two or four minutes?
Redick was a fake starter for the Pistons.
The kind of fake starters with very low status.
In the NBA, fake starters are not even as good as ordinary rotation benches.
Fake starters in the NBA, just like the son-in-law, are bred, maybe not even as good as the son-in-law, and the son-in-law will not be able to use it and throw it away.
Fake starters have a low status in the NBA, but Redick never thought he had a low status.
A starter is a starter!
Yes is the starter, he is the starter, everybody is the starter, what difference can it make?
Maybe he's a little better than Yes, he's the starter for the winning team, and the Yes team has lost one game!
No, after this game, there will be two losses right away!
Last season, he could only watch his team lose.
He couldn't decide anything.
The two guys who pressed him to the bench took their place but didn't work, and he was disappointed.
Now, it's completely different!
He can finally decide his fate!
And he finally has a real boss by his side who can be trusted!
Iverson, who brought the Pistons players on the court, had a grim expression on his face.
And Redick, who followed behind Iverson, was a look of trust and adoration.
What is an alliance superstar, this is an alliance superstar!
Yes is left to a superstar like Iverson.
He just has to stare at the garbage like Rondo and Durant!
Four minutes up and down, only eight minutes?
That's enough!
Eight minutes is enough for him to abuse Rondo or Durant!
When he was the No. 1 star in the NCAA, Rondo and Durant didn't know where they were!
Thinking that in this game, he could defeat his enemies with enough data in the face of garbage, Redick trembled with excitement.
It's just that at this time, whether it was Iverson who walked to the court or the Pistons fans at the scene, they all looked at the supersonic No. 9 who was squatting on the sidelines to tie his shoes, and their faces showed a look of surprise.
"Shoelaces Yes!"
Iverson's grim face suddenly became feverishly excited.
Shoelaces Yes?
What about shoelaces Yes!
You can't win if you deserve to lose!
The hatred in Reddick's eyes grew stronger.
