May 2, 2004, the first day after International Workers' Day.

Compared to May 1st, which has an international holiday, Detroit today is more like a holiday, especially for fans, it is really a day to look forward to. Today, the first semifinal of the Eastern Conference will begin, and the New Jersey Nets will land in Detroit to launch their second round of championship attacks.

Detroit fans are still a little unconfident about the Nets, a team that may have a slightly worse overall record than the Pistons, but compared to the playoff experience, the difference between the two is not a little. Since the exchange for Kidd, the Nets have been regular visitors to the playoffs, and have represented the East in the Finals for two consecutive years, and the Pistons were killed by the Nets last year.

Some teams are born for the playoffs, like the Western Spurs, like the Eastern Nets.

The direct manifestation of the lack of confidence is that when the Nets players walked into the palace in Auburn Hills, the fans let out tsunami-like boos, insults and reprimands, and if trash talk could be materialized, the Nets players would have been buried in a mountain long ago.

"I feel sorry for these fans, the reason why they are scolding us so hard is because they are afraid of us. How loud they scold, how much they are afraid! Kidd raised his hand and roared loudly, his face intoxicated, as if he was enjoying cheers rather than insults.

Hua Ben saw this scene in the players' tunnel, and he said in amazement: "Hey, guys, are there still people in this world who like to be scolded?" Could this be the legendary slut? ”

"Let's scold together, or I'm sorry Jason, he invited us to a nightclub." Hamilton spoke up in a rare way.

As soon as he heard the word nightclub, Hua Ben thought of the unlucky man who was banned in the first place, and he scolded viciously: "I'm going to fucking make Jason miserable today, it's that bastard who caused me to be banned!" ”

Rashid was the number one player on the field, and when he played, he high-fived the fans who stretched out their hands on both sides of the aisle and yelled at the Nets' bench, as if saying tongue twisters, one by one. Seeing this, Huaben felt that it would be really condescending for Rashid not to sing rap songs.

When Hua Ben appeared, Du Dongqiang appeared in public for the first time, as his bodyguard, he needed to follow behind, of course, he didn't have to do any work now, just make Hua Ben look very stylish.

Du Dongqiang is wearing a black suit and black leather shoes today, and he is also wearing a black tie on his chest, except for a white shirt, he is dressed in black everywhere, with a black headset, and of course his sunglasses are also black, and he almost wrote two words on his forehead: "Black Man"!

"It's a good day, don't keep your face strained, you're going to make people misunderstand that we're attending a funeral. Look, you're wearing black clothes, and your face is tight, and you don't look good. Hua Ben turned around and yelled loudly at Du Dongqiang, if you don't roar, you can't do it, the shouts of the fans are too loud.

Du Dongqiang still had a cold face, he tried his best to keep his face expressionless and said: "No, boss, the bodyguards have to be like this, I have to let people with bad intentions know that I am not easy to mess with!" Of course, it would be better if he could fuck seduce two younger sisters who like cool guys! ”

Hua Ben was speechless, and when he entered the court, he and Du Dongqiang separated.

Mirisic picked up a ball and threw it to Waben, who raised his hand and hit a three-pointer, 'Wow', an arrow through the heart. This made the fans excited, and the fans who saw this scene waved their hands and screamed:

"Ben, I love you, so handsome!"

"I'm going to marry you, Ben, I'm going to give you a baby!"

"Ben, you're my favorite type, let's the guy!"

Hua Ben smiled and waved around, and then sent four flying kisses in four directions around the court, and some female fans and some male fans saw this.

Padding made a change of direction and made a driving layup, picked up the ball and threw it to Warburn, motioning for him to do another one.

Huaben was about to jump shot, when he suddenly saw Kidd on the Nets' bench looking at him, he raised his hand, pushed the ball out, made an accurate pass across the court, and then shouted provocatively: "Jason, come one!" It's a fucking man! ”

Who is afraid of whom, Kidd pouted and threw his hand from afar.

'Smack', the ball bounced off the board, and Huaben couldn't help but laugh, he had already guessed this scene, Kidd's long-range shot was not very reliable, especially now that he was standing on the sideline of the court. The fans were even happier, and countless middle fingers were erected at him, and if the middle finger could grow into a big tree, then Auburn Hills would become an Amazon jungle.

With Kidd's wry smile, Huaben took a Western cowboy rapid-fire pose and gave the Nets a shot.

"You're going to die today!" Wabbon confidently shouted at Kidd.

Not to be outdone, Kidd shouted across the half: "See you on the court, who wouldn't say trash talk?" Get ready to be a stepping stone for us to advance to the finals! ”

Kidd's words are more emboldening than Warburn, and since the beginning of the 21st century, the Nets have become a terrifying playoff team.

In the first season of the 21st century, the 2000-01 season, it was Byron. Scott's first season in charge of New Jersey was also not ideal, not because of the team's strength, but because their main players were injured. From the beginning of that season, Carey. Kittels, Gami. Fick and Keith. Van Horn's three main players were injured and suspended, and that was the only time their team has missed the playoffs so far in the 21st century.

But even so, the Nets gained a lot that season, starting with Kenyon. Martin proved himself to be the standout man in the 2000 draft. Stephen, who was still in New Jersey at the time. Marbury also got his first taste of an All-Star that season, followed by sophomore Evan Brown. Eschmeier has shown his potential in the starting center position.

It's fair to say that the reason the Nets were so bad that season was an injury problem -- their 12 players missed a total of 345 games due to injuries! As a result, Coach Byron Scott has never been able to find a consistent, healthy roster. A potentially successful team consisting of Marbury, Van Horn, Martin and Kittels never materialized.

Since that season, the Nets have exploded. In the 2001-02 season, the team endured a dream season with a team-best 52 wins. The team swept the Atlantic Division Championship and the Eastern Conference Championship and made it all the way to the Grand Finals. And the reason why this is so is because they got the best playmaking guard of the time, Jason . Kyd.

The Nets players that season were really talented, and sophomore Kenyon was really talented. Martin played a worthy value, and rookie Richard. Jefferson was so sophisticated and courageous that he scared his opponents. On top of that, they have Kidd, one of the top 5 triple-double machines in NBA history.

At that time, after defeating Indiana, Charlotte and Boston, the Nets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals, who were preparing to create a dynasty. But no one underestimated them, because the Lakers, who had the big sharks at the time, were invincible, so the Nets' performance that season was incredible and great.

In the 2002-03 season, the Nets reached the Finals for the second year in a row. Before losing 4-2 to the San Antonio Spurs, they swept their opponents twice in the playoffs, one against the Boston Celtics and the other against the Detroit Pistons!
