Chapter 120: The first round is hard-hitting
The Detroit Pistons, as its name suggests, run tirelessly like a tenacious piston in the cylinder of the professional league. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info The style of the ball is fierce and tough, and the confrontation is fierce and bloodthirsty is its famous characteristic.
This is thanks to the ruthless men of the 80s, the smiling assassin Thomas, the bad boy Dumas and Ranbier, who created the team's unique original style.
Especially the smiling assassin Thomas, the versatile defender. He's got all sorts of unexpected shots, acrobatic cuts, lightning speed, and uncanny passes. During his 13 years with the Pistons, he won two championships, was named to the All-Star team 12 times, and was named to the All-Star team three times.
In 1988, the formidable Pistons defeated the Bulls led by "Flyer" Jordan and the powerful Celtics, and fought the Lakers in the finals for 7 games, and finally lost by 3 points, missing the championship.
In 1989, the "bad boys" made a comeback, and this time they didn't miss the opportunity, beating the Bulls again, thanks to Dumas's excellent performance, they defeated the Lakers 4-0 cleanly to win the championship, and the following year they successfully defended their title after beating the Trail Blazers.
This tough style has been sublimated by the end of the last century and the beginning of this century. Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Hamilton, Billups and Prince won their third championship in franchise history.
In modern times, although the light of the piston is not as good as in the past, the iron-blooded tenacious heritage is inherited solidly. If you want to score points on this team, you have to pay something.
"Want to beat us? Well, please crawl over our corpses first! In the first round of the playoffs, the Bulls deeply understood the ferocity and tenacity of the Pistons.
On April 18, I thought it would be a game with a huge disparity in strength, but it was almost reversed by the Pistons in the center of the league. At the last moment, relying on Yi Yang's magical performance, he hit a 0.3-second whistle 3-point to win the first game with difficulty.
On April 20, it was still the home court of the Bulls, and the Pistons performed quite well in the first two quarters, and their excellent performance made the scores of the two teams equal. But the follow-up weak piston finally couldn't resist the young bull and lost the second game 118-111.
On April 22, the third stop between the two sides came to the home of the Pistons, the Palace of Auburn Hills. This "famous" arena is an alternative to the league.
Located in Auburn Hills, a suburb of 80 kilometers from downtown Detroit, the Auburn Hills Palace Arena is the only venue among the NBA's 30 teams that has 22,076 seats, 180 luxury boxes, and 1,000 seats for club members, including three restaurants owned by Auburn Hills Palace.
After it was officially opened in 1988, it became a famous devil's home court in the NBA. The heyday of the "bad boys" led by Thomas helped the new "bad boys" win the NBA championship in 2003-2004.
The most famous incident on November 19, 2004, a vicious group assault incident made the Auburn Hills Palace arena famous again.
The Pistons, who returned to the Devils' home court, played proactively, like a bad boy army, and actually snatched a rare victory from the bulls who were in the limelight.
On April 24, after an overtime game and a big center Jeep, the Bulls won the first round match point with a score of 108:99 and a big score of 3:1 for the first time.
On April 26, the division was moved to the league center arena, and the two teams began a life-and-death contest again. Although the big center Jeep was out for the season, the Bulls, who returned to their home court, never gave their opponents a chance to breathe, and finally beat the Pistons 123-111 to advance to the second round.
Although only five games were played in the first round, the Bulls were exhausted, and the Pistons' stubborn resistance did respond to the old saying that "there are no weak teams in the NBA".
The loss of starting center Jeep casts a faint shadow over the Bulls' future campaign. Just reaching the divisional semi-finals, losing an inside big man is really not a good sign.
With several other teams in the East Division still unfinished, Chicago was given a full six days of recuperation. The divisional semi-finals will not be officially held until May 2, which is somewhat good news.
Back in his mansion, Yi Yang's phone was busy one after another. Relatives and friends in China, relevant departments and major media have expressed corresponding congratulations to the teenagers who won the first round.
First of all, Xiao Pepper and Shangguan Ya'er, then the Du brothers and sisters and the Demon King Zhao Dagongzi, and then Fa Xiao Yan Shuxiang on behalf of the villagers, Yi Yang was very busy.
Just wanted to take a breath, the dutiful mobile phone began to chant "champion" again.
"Yi Yang, hello, I'm Sima Aoxue. Congratulations to you and your team on reaching the second round, Ruyan and I plan to watch the Bulls' division finals on May 2nd, welcome? ”
Yi Yang was very surprised by the call from the daughter of the Sima family, this cold and arrogant fairy had never taken the initiative to call him. Don't say that you are a child of a wealthy family, you are an ordinary fan, who can deprive others of the right to watch the game live?
"It's an honor to have Miss Sima's jade drive here, how could Yi Yang not welcome it?"
"Thank you, Sister Ziqi wants to talk to you, you wait..."
This Du Ziqi had just finished calling herself for less than twenty minutes, why did she go to Sima Aoxue again? What kind of song is this!
Without waiting for Yi Yang to wonder about an eyebrow, the delicate lady of the Du family on the other end of the phone, a crisp voice came.
"Brother Yi Yang, this time only me, Ruyan and Sister Aoxue went to Chicago, I don't want to take a bunch of miscellaneous people, it's too inconvenient."
"You know, our identity is really bad, three girls live in a big hotel. You see... Can I stay with you for a few days? ”
Make no mistake! You celebrities go out, do you still need to stay at my house? I'm not your babysitter, and besides, this is the playoffs, so how can I have time for you! It's not okay to call me brother.
Without waiting for Yi Yang to open his mouth, Du Ziqi didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.
"I've heard that you recently bought a big, beautiful mansion in Chicago. How? Not welcome? Hmph, even if your compatriots come to the United States, if you don't know each other, you can't stand by and watch if they need help, right? ”
"Okay, I'll pick you up when we get to Chicago. But, to be honest, I don't have time to go shopping with you, and I don't have time to entertain you ladies and gentlemen. If you want to live, treat it as your own home, and don't be polite to each other. ”
Hearing Yi Yang's words, the little girl Du Ziqi laughed with satisfaction. "Then I'll thank Brother Yi Yang on behalf of my two sisters, you don't have to worry about anything else, just have a place to sleep and eat."
Metersbonwe, don't take the usual road, the daughter of this big family, her thinking is really different from that of normal people! Fortunately, there are no two annoying second ancestors to follow.
