In the 1990-1991 season, Pistons Joe Dumas became the team's number one offensive point. He averaged 20.4 points per game and delivered 5.5 assists, and he was also the team's defensive gate on the outside, and finally in the All-Star Game that year, Dumas replaced the injured Thomas and was selected as an All-Star, which was his second consecutive year as an All-Star, Thomas suffered an ankle sprain, thigh strain and wrist sprain in the regular season, but Thomas is still a minor injury and insists on playing with injuries, Thomas only played 48 games this season, averaging 16.2 points and 9.3 assists per game, Thomas's friend Aguirre is 32 years old, he mainly plays off the bench this season, averaging 14.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

James Edwards became the team's starting interior lineman, Averaging 13.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, Ranbir averaged 11.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game, Rodman, who successfully defended Jordan last year, was given a big role this season, starting the position of small forward, becoming the team's outside defensive gate, this season he averaged 8.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per game, won the best defensive player and was selected as the best defensive team for two consecutive years, John Long, the former team's meritorious veteran, in order to get a championship ring, in the last year of his career (Long had a brief comeback with the Raptors five years later) fell back to his roots and joined the Pistons, but at this time Lang is no longer useful, played only 25 games in a season, averaging only 3.8 points per game. In the end, this season's Pistons finished with a 50-32 record and finished third in the East.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Pistons played against the Hawks, Joe Dumas broke the Hawks' outside line, averaging 23.8 points per game, Thomas averaged 11.6 assists per game, and Rodman contributed 14.4 rebounds per game, after five big games, the Pistons eliminated the Hawks 3:2 and successfully advanced, in the second round, facing the Celtics who were struggling with the Celtics who were already declining but still wanted to rely on Bird to turn over and insist on not rebuilding, the Pistons sent them home 4:2 mercilessly, Dumas averaged 23.3 points per game, and finally, the Pistons met the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls for the fourth time in the playoffs on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Although it is the fourth reunion, but the situation of the two teams is completely different, this is Jordan's seventh season, at this time, he has become an omnipotent basketball god on the court, and Pippen and Horace Grant are in the fifth year of their careers, they have grown from a rookie kid who was a fledgling kid that year, and has grown into a star who can be in charge of their respective positions, the old center Bill Cartwright and the old point guard John Paxson are old and strong, and they still have an indispensable voice in the locker room. With 61 wins in the regular season this season, the Bulls are the best in the East, and the Bulls have a new and rising future just like the Pistons during their first championship.

On the other hand, the Pistons, Joe Dumas is 28 years old, Rodman is 30 years old, Thomas is 30 years old, Aguirre is 32 years old, Ranbir is 33 years old, Vinier Johnson is 35 years old, Edwards is 36 years old, the team has been using this lineup for many years, there is no new blood to add, Thomas has been plagued by a variety of injuries this season, and the playoffs have been played all the way, and the state has been greatly reduced, but this is not the most deadly, for the Pistons, the most fatal thing is that in 1991, the league introduced the new term "malicious foul", In the past, as Ranbier did, slapping people down, and lightly hitting the wrist, were the same two free throws, but now, it has become two free throws and one throw, and the opponent can not only easily score 2 points at the free throw line, but they also have the ball, and they have to be sent out of the game after accumulating two malicious fouls, and the introduction of "malicious fouls" greatly limits the intensity of the Pistons' physical confrontation, so that they have to take care of the scale, and the overall intensity of the game is not the same as before.

In the first game, the Pistons insisted on Jordan alone by Joe Dumas, Dumas did his best for Jordan's defense, and it was effective in the end, Dumas was not a player who was good at defense when he first entered the league, but Daley insisted that he practice defense, and finally he had the opportunity to compete with Jordan on the stage of the playoffs, and Jordan scored 22 points in the whole game with only 6 of 15 shots under Dumas's close defense, 6 assists and as many as 6 turnovers, which is in this money, The bull would have counted, but not anymore.

Jordan didn't play well, others stepped up, Pippen turned into an all-round warrior, 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals and 5 blocks on 6-of-13 shooting, the old center Carllight also showed up occasionally on the inside, scoring 16 points and 9 rebounds on 7-of-10 shooting, Grant scored 8 points and 10 rebounds, and scored a full 30 points off the bench, on the other hand, the Pistons, Thomas did not attack well because of a wrist injury, only scored 11 points and 8 assists on 3-of-9 shooting, Dumas's physical strength was used to defend, and the offensive end was lackluster, scored 9 points on 3-of-10 shooting, Edwards, Rodman, and Ranbier only scored 17 points and 15 rebounds together, and the Pistons lost 83-94, if it weren't for the two gods Aguirre and Vinier Johnson who combined to score 46 points, the Pistons would have lost even more ugly.

In the second game, God Joe and the Pistons' bench Vinier Johnson once scored each other's points, and finally Jordan scored 35 points on 10-of-20 shooting, Johnson scored 29 points on 12-of-18 shooting, Dumas scored 24 points on 8-of-19 shooting, Thomas scored 10 points and 5 assists on 4-of-9 shooting, and the Bulls' Pippen continued the style of an all-around warrior in the last game, scoring 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in this game, helping the Bulls beat the Pistons again 105-97.

In the third game, Jordan scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists on 11-of-19 shooting, Pippen scored 26 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and Grant also scored 17 points, on the other hand, the Pistons, after returning to the home court, Thomas did his best to score 29 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists with an injury, but the shooting percentage was only 9 of 22, Vinier Johnson scored 25 points on 11-of-17 shooting, and the performance of Aguirre and Dumas dragged the team back, and the two scored 24 points on 10-of-27 shooting, and finally the Pistons finished with 107: 113 lost three games in a row.

In the last game, the Pistons lost to the Bulls with a score of 94:115, Jordan scored 29 points, Pippen scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, Grant also scored 16 points and 9 rebounds, and the Pistons, the highest score was Thomas's 16 points, the result was always so heartbreaking, the Pistons defeated the Bulls for three consecutive years, and in the fourth year, they were finally picked up by the Bulls and the dream of three consecutive championships was shattered.

In the fourth matchup between the two sides, Jordan's average of 29.8 points per game can only be said to be a normal performance, and it is others who really rise, such as Pippen averaging 22 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks per game, and Grant is close to 70% 's shooting percentage averaged 13.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, the old center Cartwright averaged 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game to give Jordan his last glory, and so on, on the other hand, the Pistons, the scoring champion is the super big bench Vinier Johnson, who averaged 21 points per game, Aguirre averaged 16.8 points per game, and the Pistons' conventional weapons, Dumas and Thomas made up for it on the offensive end, Thomas's average of 16.5 points per game seems good, but the shooting rate is only 40.7%, Injuries have seriously reduced Thomas's threat on the offensive end, and Dumas is even worse, averaging only 12.5 points per game and shooting only 34.7%, far below his regular season level, and Ranbier's dominance under the basket is not there, averaging only 6.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

In the 1991-1992 season, the super bench has been 36-year-old Vinier Johnson left San Antonio, where he spent the last year of his career smoothly, Vinier Johnson had a career of 13 years, of which nearly 10 years were spent with the Pistons, although he spent most of the game as a substitute, but Johnson occupied a very high position in the history of the Pistons, during which he won two championship rings and scored 10146 points for the Pistons to rank seventh in the history of the Pistons. His 2,491 rebounds and 213 blocks were both 20th all-time, while his 2,661 assists and 708 steals were sixth all-time in franchise history, and Vinier Johnson's No. 15 jersey was retired by the Pistons in 1994.

In order to make up for the loss of Johnson's departure, the Pistons signed Orlando Ulrich, who is 206 cm tall and weighs 98 kilograms, mainly playing small forward, this brother is also a changeable offensive player, last season in the Nuggets' open offense, he averaged 25.1 points per game, he has the ability, but the big brother was once banned by the league for drug use, which is a big hidden danger.

Dumas is still the team's first firepower this season. Averaging 19.9 points per game, Thomas averaged 18.5 points per game and handed out 7.2 assists, new entrant Ulrich averaged 14.0 points per game, Aguirre continued to play on the bench, averaging 11.3 points per game Rodman has been out of control since he started last year, and this year is even more out of control, averaging 9.8 points and 18.7 rebounds per game.

This season, the Pistons have slipped further in their record, winning just 48 games and sitting fifth in the East, and in the first round, they face the New York Knicks, who they have beaten before, led by Gorilla Ewing.

At this time, the Knicks' style of play is completely different from that of the Pistons, the Pistons' offensive point is outside, the main firepower point is Thomas, Dumas, and Aguirre are all on the outside, while the Knicks are on the inside, Ewing, Xavier McDaniels, Charles Oakley take turns to impact the inside, and the outside commander of the Knicks is Mark Jackson, the third assist king in NBA history.

This is a round of games with very different styles, the game has not yet started, everyone can imagine how fierce this round of the series will be, but in the first game, the Pistons were beaten to the head, 75:109 defeated the Knicks, the Pistons team couldn't find the offensive feeling at all, the most scoring was Thomas He scored 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting, Thomas only got 3 points and 2 rebounds on 1-of-9 shooting, Knicks Ewing scored 24 points and 12 rebounds, Mark Jackson scored 18 points, 6 assists and 3 steals, The Pistons surrendered early in the third quarter.

In Game 2, the Pistons' high school forward John Sayley became a surprise player, not only did he have 12 points and 6 rebounds himself, but he also completely limited the Gorillas on the defensive end, who scored 12 points and 6 rebounds on 5-of-20 shooting, and Dumas scored 21 points to help his team narrow 89-88 victory over the Knicks.

Ewing Gui is one of the four centers in the league, of course, he will not be trapped by a small person, in the third game, Ewing was very powerful, the Pistons' interior line was restless, and he scored 32 points and 13 rebounds, his partner Xavier McDaniel also scored 21 points and 13 rebounds, and the Pistons John Sayley still had a good performance, he got 20 points and 6 rebounds, but the Pistons team's outside was collectively dumb, Dumas and Ranbir only scored 15 points, Thomas only scored 6 points on 3-of-12 shooting, In the end, the Pistons lost another game 87-90.

In the fourth game, the Pistons defeated the Knicks 86-82 and struggled to tie the score, the Pistons' wonder in this game was Rodman, who had 12 points and 17 rebounds, Dumas also scored 23 points, Thomas scored 15 points and 12 assists, Ewing and McDaniel both scored 18 points, but it was still not enough to help the team win.

In the last game, Thomas played a violent blow and showed the best state in five games, scoring 31 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game, but unfortunately, his teammates gave him too little support, Sayley scored 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting is already the second highest score on the team, on the other hand, Ewing scored 31 points and 19 rebounds to completely dominate the interior, McDaniels scored 19 points to help the Knicks defeat the Pistons, and the Pistons went out in the first round of the playoffs in 1992.

The Pistons are out, in fact, it is not surprising, at that time the Knicks were walking on the road to a strong team, and the Pistons were dying and full of injuries, Thomas endured wrist and ankle injuries to play, mentally moving but the effect was not too good, he averaged only 14.0 points and 7.4 assists per game in this round of the series, shooting 33.8%, the 34-year-old Aguirre is completely the performance of the old dragon clock, averaging 9.0 points per game, and the shooting rate is as low as an outrageous 33.3%, Ranbir is also 36 years old, he has 8.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in this series, shooting 37.0% from the field, and new recruit Ulrich is averaging 11.0 points per game, which is not too bad, but it obviously did not meet the expectations of management, and if it were not for the excellent play of role player Sailly, I am afraid that the Pistons would not have lasted five games.

As the team's lineup gets older, this season has been the first peak and final glory of the Pistons.
