Chapter 208: Da Yao's Ultimate Martial Showdown

Before the Pistons, it was inconceivable how a team without a superstar could win a championship. But the Pistons met all people's imagination that the low-level civilians counterattacked and became the league champions, and no one in the Pistons team that won the championship in history had previously entered the top 10 of the league's MVP.

When the Pistons won the championship in 2004, only two Wallaces had ever been selected as an All-Star, and Hamilton, Billups and Prince did not receive any award income.

It was these five who restored the bad boy tradition and won the invincible F4, and it can be said that they changed the fate of the shark more than the pattern of the alliance.

I also have to praise the leader of the academy coaches, Larry Brown!

Such a defensive guru and talented coach mercilessly beat the Zen master's Zen to the ground, and they explained that team basketball is a matter of course for the Lakers who are divided by high talent and individual efforts. Larry Brown is too rigid, but he's tough and resolute enough. So he was able to start the era of Pistons glory...... The myth of the victory of the blue collar over the platinum collar is gorgeously carved into the most colorful picture of 2004.

The Pistons' magic weapon is defense, and the opponent scored within 70 in 9 consecutive games, and I remember that once the opponent was defended, no one scored a double-double, and the highest score was 8 points. The Pistons' defense is not necessarily stronger than the Spurs, but the Pistons' defensive determination is unmatched by few teams in history.

Two days later, the Wizards unexpectedly disarmed and lost the series by a score of 0-4.

Hardaway and Hill's stats can only be said to be mediocre, not far from the previous series. Hardaway had 18 points and 10 assists, and Hill had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. Still dazzling, but unable to lead the team to even one victory.

Kwame Brown is stronger, but in the year since he left Hu Qingniu, there has been basically no progress, and he has returned to the old, low-level stake era. Hu Qingniu left him with a wealth that he could still use, probably a more energetic physical fitness.

Jeffries has improved a lot this year, his learning ability is fine, the problem is the lack of physical fitness, but as a player who sat on the water cooler with Hu Qingniu and chatted with him, Hu Qingniu also gave him a lot of benefits, and his physical fitness is not what it used to be. Now he is a consistent starting power forward, known for his projection, and can also average 16 points per game.

Tyronn Lue is still the same, and after the big guys on the inside became Hardaway and Hill, he still fought hotly. With his emotional intelligence, there is no problem in wanting to mix in this alliance, but there is no growth in strength at all. It can be said that his own talent has reached the top, and it is impossible to rise again.

The rapid defeat of the Wizards was basically expected by Hu Qingniu, and he basically knew the horror of the Pistons all season. Originally, the history was that the Pistons won the championship this year, not to mention the addition of a perfectly filled An Lubu.

Then the two sides of the Eastern Conference finals will also come out, and the second-seeded Pistons and fourth-seeded Bobcats in the Eastern Conference will defeat strong opponents respectively to reach the top of the Eastern Conference.

Experts from major TV stations such as ESPN, ***, and CBS have stood in line and chosen the teams they support. As a result, the support of the Pistons team was significantly ahead, with 80% of the experts siding with the Pistons and only 20% of the experts siding with the Bobcats, most of whom were *** experts. It's almost become a friend of the Bobcats.

The East Division's two early 4-0 sweeps decided the divisional finals. But the West Side fought quite badly.

Notably, the Rockets eliminated the Mavericks after six games in the first round.

The crux of the Mavericks is that they can't restrict Yao Ming at all, not because they can't prevent it, but because they can't limit it at all. Mavericks players, including Nowitzki, stayed completely away from the restricted area, as no Mavericks player could cause Yao Ming a bit of trouble in this area.

In the final series, Yao Ming led the Rockets to 29 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks to defeat the Mavericks led by Nowitzki with 27 points and 6 rebounds. Once again, the Germans have been thrust into the limelight, and it was thought that a weak power forward who would only shoot from the outside would not be able to lead the team to a good result in the playoffs.

The Rockets face the Minnesota Timberwolves, the top seed in the Western Conference, after beating the No. 5 seed Mavericks. Yao Ming and Garnett, the pair of Western Conference All-Star starting teammates, met in the playoffs, and it can be said that both sides are the pillars of the team.

Garnett just won the MVP trophy and is full of spirit, and Yao Ming is also the best player in the second year of his career, and the future is limitless.

This Mars hit the earth, no worse than the confrontation between the stone Buddha and the shark next door.

In the first game, the Rockets took the first game and caught the Timberwolves off guard. This Yao Ming mainly plays offense, scoring 45 points in a single game for the playoffs personal scoring record, and saving physical strength on the defensive end is equivalent to giving up. This trick allowed the Rockets to win by a small score of 5 points.

The next game first, so that Yao Ming has received countless praises, although James and Wade are not inferior to him in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it is obvious that Yao Ming is at a higher level.

The Rockets don't have any decent helpers, and Francis can't help much in the playoffs, because the three-point line is unstable, and Yao Ming is frequently caught on the inside but can only solve it by himself.

But the Timberwolves can sit on the first throne in the Western Conference, and they are not vegetarians. Compared with Yao Ming's lonely family, the name of the three-headed monster is already quite loud.

In the second, third, and fourth games of the series, Sprewell slashed 3 consecutive 25+ games, and Kassel also played 3 consecutive 20+ games, and the Rockets' outside defense was no different from paper. Garnett seems to have some room to spare, but the Rockets can't support it anymore and have lost all three games.

In the fifth game, Yao Ming pulled back a game and angrily slashed the explosive data of 38 points, 25 rebounds and 6 blocks, and Garnett was completely taught to be a man this time, eating three big hats in a row, and only took 18 points and 6 rebounds.

But it also angered Garnett, and in the sixth game, the wolf king dropped his crown and returned to the wolves. Garnett let go of his reserve, showing his glory as the league's MVP, mid-range shot, face frame breakthrough, dunk, he is proficient in everything; Passing the ball from behind, covering the sky, and playing fast attack, he can do anything.

In this game, the Wolf King broke out with 39 points, 23 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 5 blocks, and Yao Ming was not to be outdone, with 43 points, 13 rebounds and 8 blocks. This is the ultimate confrontation of personal force, which makes every spectator and fan enthusiastic.

But the Timberwolves finally won in the overall strength, they only won by 3 points, Hu Qingniu felt that these three points could be separated, and the three-headed monster was one point each, which is why the Timberwolves were stronger than the Rockets.

Despite the defeat, Yao Ming and Garnett only hugged after the game, and they received each other's respect.

This round of the series, perhaps a long, long time later, will be mentioned, he will be considered the most representative round of Yao Ming's early career series, this round of the series Yao Ming averaged 36 points, 14.5 rebounds and 5.5 blocks per game, which is difficult for future generations to surpass.

The playoffs are the stage for strength, and no matter how good the regular season is, if there is no masterpiece in the playoffs, it will be difficult to convince the public. Sometimes a series can produce a star player.

Yao Ming has a bumper harvest this year, compared to the bumps in the first year, even the best rookie was almost lost in the end. This year, Yao Ming has won the best center, the best defensive center, and the All-Star West starting center. This round of baptism is a performance of convincing the public, and when Yao Ming is mentioned again, there is no fan who does not give a thumbs up.
