I haven't written for a long time, I don't know where to put my fingers on the keyboard, I've been busy with work lately, I'm busy, and I can't sit in front of the computer for many minutes a day, but the basketball dream in my heart is not dead, I must finish this book!

In this volume, let's talk about the Detroit Pistons.

Speaking of the Pistons, I believe that the first reaction of most people is the famous "Bad Boy Army" in the late eighties, their style of play is wild and fierce, the Pistons are Jordan's last hurdle before he walks on the altar, think about that Pistons, and then look at the current Pistons composed of a group of cream boys, it is really emotional.

The Pistons' fierce and muscular style of play is not without a source, the cultural temperament of this team is completely endowed by the city of Detroit, Detroit is the largest city in Michigan, and it is also the largest city on the border in the United States, located on the shore of the Great Lakes, so the transportation industry and heavy industry here are very developed, especially the automobile industry, known as the Motor City, so Detroit's population is composed of occupations, most of them are blue-collar workers who sell some strength, such occupations, It also makes the people of this city generally developed, flamboyant, advocating strength, unconvinced, unconvinced, simple, direct and clear, so it is not surprising that the basketball team formed in this city can have such a fierce style of play.

In 1941, a fat white man named Fred Zorner inherited the family's $10 million inheritance, Zorner looked like a very quiet person on the outside, spoke slowly and methodically, and lacked the shrewdness of a businessman who counted people to the bones, and everyone was not optimistic that Zorner could become a good businessman, and in fact, it seemed that this was the case.

Zorner set up an amateur basketball team in Fort Wayne, the name directly used the Pistons team that best represents the automobile industry, at that time there was a small basketball league in the local area - NBL, mainly the league founded by various companies to play tickets, everyone is just playing, but Zorna took this as a career, and achieved great success, many years later, the Pistons joined the NBA, for a period of time the NBA had a serious financial deficit, and had to rely on Zorner's funding to survive the difficulties.

Zorna loves basketball, and there's no doubt about that, he became one of the very few owners who could sit on the sidelines and watch the players perform on the court, and at a time when the main means of transportation was trains, Zorna was the first in the entire NBA to equip the team with airplanes — is that similar to the current Mavericks owner Cuban? Yes, in terms of love for basketball, they are the same kind of people, but Zorner is not like Cuban, who sprays when he is upset, at most he will sit quietly on the sidelines, tidy up his clothes, and then say one word slowly and methodically -

“Ｆ＊＊＊ｙｏｕ。”

Don't talk about the Pistons in the NBL, in fact, there's nothing to say, everyone else is playing tickets, just do it yourself, can you not win, from 1941 to 1948, the Pistons won two NBL championships, and two seasons created the best NBL regular season record, in 1948, the Pistons joined a more professional league - BAA.

BAA is actually the predecessor of the NBA, although the Pistons are showing off their power in the NBL, but the NBA at a higher level in the league is at a general level, when the Minneapolis Lakers were the big hegemon of BAA, although the newcomer Pistons are strong, but in the face of the Lakers led by George McCann, they still can't beat, the Fort Wayne Pistons who were sad in previous seasons enter the playoffs every year, but every year they are beaten by the Lakers, and they are beaten by Dolph Sheail's Syracuse Nationals, The Nationals were tired, and the Warriors, led by Paul Alikin, stepped forward and threw two more big heads......

This Pistons team, you need to remember these few people, remember them, throw them out when chatting with your teammates, and definitely become the emperor who understands the ball.

The first person is called Fred Scows, this person is also quite awesome, when he was young, he looked exactly like the Lakers godfather Jerry West, coincidentally they have become mentors and apprentices twice, West's college is called West Virginia University, at that time Scows was the head coach of the college basketball team, at that time West could only play guard because of his height of 188 cm, West was not outstanding in physical condition for a while, and was often eaten by big butts in games, but Skars found that West's basket was particularly accurate, It's simply a 360-degree shot without dead ends, so with a big wave of his hand-

You're going to be a striker for me! Don't do anything but shoot!

So West was awesome.

In 1960, West was selected by the Minneapolis Lakers with the second pick in the first round, and the Lakers moved to Los Angeles not long after, and at the same time Schauth was hired as the head coach of the Lakers, West's first season in the NBA did not show his awesome brilliance in college, averaging only 17 points per game, which is quite a lot now, but it is average in that era of evil monsters, so the first thing Scaoth did when he took office was-

What kind of striker do you play, play guard for me!

So West was awesome.

As it turns out, whether you're awesome or not has a lot to do with whether you can meet someone who can make you look awesome.

Scows attended West Virginia and joined the Fort Wayne Pistons in 1949. He averaged 14.3 points per game in his first season to become the team's leading scorer, and was selected for the NBA's first All-Star Game, scoring 8 points, and then he played five seasons in the NBA, the first four seasons were spent with the Fort Wayne Pistons, and the second season was with the New York Knicks, averaging 12.2 points per game, and after Sculce retired in 1954, he took over the coaching whip of West Virginia University and coached for five seasons, all of which led the team to the NCAA Championship, with the best result being the overall runner-up. After Sculce came to Los Angeles to coach the Lakers, 7 years later, Scows was promoted to management and became the general manager of the Lakers, but unfortunately Scows met the NBA's first plague god Baylor, and the Lakers who were incomparably beautiful before instantly missed the championship, until 1972, Baylor retired, and the Lakers immediately played a wave of 33 consecutive wins and won the championship in the season, after the end of the season, Skos left the Lakers, and unexpectedly chose to coach Purdue University to compete in the NIT League, In 1974, he led the team to win the NIT League championship, and in this way, Skoth became the first head coach in NBA history to coach the NBA and NIT League.

The NIT League is a selection of 32 teams from teams that have not participated in the NCAA, and the overall standard is below the NCAA.

In February 2010, Skoes passed away.

The second is called Andy Philip, Uncle An has been highlighted in the Warriors volume before, is an assist expert in ancient times, in that general shooting rate is less than 40%, Uncle An is averaging as many as 5.5 assists per game, the highest season average 8.2 assists per game, this ability to find opportunities for teammates, so that 80% of the guards are now disgraced, Uncle An played for the Fort Wayne Pistons after leaving the Warriors, averaging 6.9 assists per game in three seasons. In 1961, Uncle Ann was honorably inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

The third uncle is called Larry Foster, Uncle Fu is 206 cm tall and weighs 98 kg - in fact, in his first year in the NBA, his weight has grown to more than 115 kg, and the second year is already 120 kg. Here is an example, the big Big Big Dipper Chamberlain Uncle Zhang, 216 cm tall, weight 130 kg, I don't need to say more about Chamberlain's level, except for Uncle Russellla in the entire alliance, others are basically who they see and who they grind, and they are all kinds of dissatisfied, and Uncle Fu, except for Uncle Zhang and Uncle La, others are basically who they grind, and they are all kinds of dissatisfied, although they are also grinding, Uncle Fu and Uncle Zhang's grinding methods are not quite the same, Uncle Zhang is born with divine power, although it looks thinner, but the strength is amazing, Leaning back slightly, the defender has already flown out three miles away, and Uncle Fu is developed lower body, round buttocks, 115 kilograms of weight has 100 kilograms of weight on the belly, at that time the three-second zone was also small, Uncle Fu's big ass pouted, and the others basically had no place to stand, according to rumors at the time, the largest pants in the league that year were hung on Uncle Fu's buttocks.

Uncle Fu played for seven years in the Fort Wayne Pistons, and quickly became the interior barrier of the Pistons, averaging 15 points and 12 rebounds per game, Uncle Fu left the Pistons and switched to the Minneapolis Lakers and St. Louis Hawks, 12 years of his career, won a rebounding title, and was selected as an All-Star 8 times.

What's wrong? You forgot the names of the people you just talked about in a blink of an eye? It doesn't matter, remember the name of the next uncle, the uncle introduced below is awesome, his name is George Yadri, a coquettish old man with deep eyes, a smile and two small dimples.

So the question is, why is it called coquettish? Because Uncle Qiao led the coquettish style of basketball, crotch dribbling, back dribbling, back passing, etc., etc., these fancy dribbling that primary school students are now familiar with was a rarity at the time, and Uncle Qiao may not be the most slippery to play alone, but he was the first player to use so many tricks on the court and make him famous, his style of play has a profound impact on future generations, Bob Cousey and Pete Maravich are loyal fans of Uncle Joe.

In the 1950 NBA draft, Uncle Qiao, nicknamed "Flying Bird", was selected by the Fort Wayne Pistons with the seventh pick in the first round, and then Uncle Qiao spent the first 6 years of his 7-year career with the Pistons. Averaged 17.3 points per game, then 17.4 the next year, followed by 21.5 points In the 1957-1958 season, Uncle Joe averaged 27.8 points per game, scoring 2001 points throughout the season, breaking the previous record held by George McCann for a total of 1932 points in a single season, and was also the first player in NBA history to score more than 2,000 points: 3 overturned, once beaten 4-1 by the Philadelphia Warriors, and then with the rise of the St. Louis Hawks and Boston Celtics, the Pistons failed to make it to the Finals.

In 1996, Uncle Joe was inducted into the NBA's Naismith Hall of Fame.
