Chapter 126: Post-Race Storm
As soon as the game between the Lakers and the Pistons ended, it immediately caused an uproar, especially the head coaches of the Western Conference paid attention to the energy of the Lakers in this game.
After all, we all know that the Pistons have risen this year, and they are still one of the strongest teams so far, winning the two major Eastern Conference hegemons in a row, and even the Lakers, known as the Hall of Fame team, were defeated by the Pistons. However, this situation only lasted for two or three days, and the Pistons were beaten by the Lakers in the form of a thunder sweep. This has to be worrying, especially in the west, a region with a lot of competitive pressure.
In the fashion capital of Los Angeles, the local media responded enthusiastically as if it had exploded, especially the Lakers fans who had seen the scene of the defeat in the Los Angeles battle, and the audience celebrated like a holiday.
The media also wrote a stroke of color, what "the Lakers run-in period has passed, on the right track", "The Lakers have found the key to victory" These eye-catching titles, I don't know that I still think that the Lakers have won the championship. If Osborne had known about this situation, he would have complained a long time ago, wouldn't this be an ordinary regular season game that could no longer be ordinary, and would he need such an exaggerated rendering?
Unlike the buzz and pomp of Los Angeles, the rest of the Western Conference is relatively calm, but it is unknown how many undercurrents are surging.
In San Antonio, a slightly tired but resolute old man, this old guy is Zhuge in the basketball world, the old man Bo. Povich watched such a game, and was suddenly slightly surprised in his heart, after all, the Pistons were only short of a scoring guard Richard Hamilton and were beaten by the Lakers, this is definitely not because of him, you must know that a team like the Pistons Spurs does not exist who is an indispensable player, you just need to let the team system and tactics play.
But the current style of play of the Lakers is not at all in line with common sense, you must know that the four kings do not play well with individual heroism, but are busy playing teamwork, which is really confusing. And there is always an indescribable sense of disobedience.
When it comes to tactics, the Spurs are not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to talent, the Spurs are always a little bit less interesting. However, the Spurs are not afraid of the Lakers' style of play, what he is most afraid of is a simple and rough style of play, especially the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat in the future, both rely on super basketball talent and directly crush everything.
The Sacramento Kings are also a little shocked, the Kings and the Lakers can be said to be mortal enemies, after all, the 2001 Finals should have been the Kings to advance, but the Lakers relied on some unconventional means to win the Kings, which made the Kings very uncomfortable, they always thought that the Lakers owed the Kings a championship.
Let's not talk about these old sesame rotten grains, let's just say that in the past few days, the menacing Pistons' Western tour, only the Kings easily defeated the Pistons, and other teams, including the Lakers, also knelt at the feet of the Pistons. But within two days, the Lakers completely reversed the situation, which is really hard to accept. This made the tsundere Kings a little uncomfortable, originally only the Kings took on the banner of fighting the Pistons, but now the Kings are almost gone. And the level of domineering shown by the Lakers in the game made Adelman a little shocked, after all, this kind of Lakers team looks flawless.
The Western Conference is a happy and a few worries, and in the Eastern region it is a sad and a few happy, except for Detroit, other places are uncontrollable laughter, especially the Indiana Pacers, the New Jersey Nets, these two Eastern hegemons are more presumptuous, and they are almost naked ridicule.
Although they are not personally revenged, they are willing to see the Pistons so embarrassed, and there is an old saying that there is always someone who gloates about the bad luck of others, as long as this person is not themselves. Both teams rejoiced that the Pistons were being beaten.
However, in Detroit, local Detroit print media and TV stations have interpreted this game and listed a series of reasons and lessons for the fiasco. First of all, the Pistons team lacked a big general, the main players were missing, secondly, the Pistons were tired after continuous battles, and finally the Pistons team's bench lineup was too weak, these three points were the main reasons for the Pistons' fiasco.
When summing up the lesson, they also made no secret of saying that the Pistons really have no advantage in other positions except for Osborne, and the Lakers' too weird style of play led to a big victory. And they all made it clear that this game is just an ordinary regular season game, and there is no need to take it seriously, and there is no need to worry, after all, the Pistons and Lakers are not in the same division.
The local media in Detroit has done everything to maintain the Pistons, and Osborne also knows some about it through the news, and Osborne did not expect that the outside world will be in a uproar because of this game.
But Osborne didn't care too much, because there was a game with the Memphis Grizzlies tomorrow, which made Osborne simply not know what to say, such a dense game schedule is simply devastating, no wonder the NBA claims to be all for the fans and spectators, because in order to let the fans and spectators see the fierce basketball confrontation, the NBA game is simply inhumane, and the schedule is long and intensive.
Osborne, who watched the news, was also powerless to complain, but Pistons head coach Larry Brown was very surprised by his every move, he is very distressed now, and he doesn't know how to adjust the Pistons, anyway, how to adjust is just a temporary strategy.
Larry Brown is back thinking about how to beat the Lakers. He feels that a large-scale trade is needed, and the Pistons still lack an interior pillar, usually Ben Wallace is a pillar of optimism, but when encountering a team like the Lakers with a superstar center, Ben Wallace can't stop it at all.
If there are strong inside twin towers, the inside line of any team can be defended. In addition to these, the Pistons team also lacks a stable rotation lineup, and the main players of the Pistons team are very stable, but there are no players on the bench who can be used. It's really frustrating, every time the main players play an advantage, they are dug up by the bench.
After seeing this situation, Larry Brown couldn't stand it, if there were no effective players, the team system would not be established at all, and if it was that time, the Pistons would still have to take the road of superstar basketball, which was the most unbearable for Larry Brown.
Although the storm is raging outside, the Pistons have no intention of preparing for the game against the Grizzlies, and the Pistons players are also trying to rest and strive to give the home fans a hearty victory tomorrow.
