124.Next Round Opponent (Part I)

The NBA playoffs refer to the elimination rounds by ranking the top eight in the East and the West respectively based on their regular season records. In the knockout round, the first team will play the eighth, the second against the seventh, the third against the sixth, and the fourth against the fifth, and the game will be a best-of-seven system, repeating three rounds, and finally deciding the champions of the East and West, and then the finals. The Finals are scheduled to be 2-3-2, with four home games against the team with the better record in the two teams, and the middle three of the seven games being played at the home stadium of the team with the lower record. The playoff schedule is 2-2-1-1-1, meaning that the first two, fifth and seventh games of the seven games are played at the home of the team with the better record, such as the Pistons and Knicks, and the first two, fifth and seventh games are played at Auburn Hills Palace.

"If it had been before 2002, the teams out there would have thought the Knicks were sending me fishing in just three games." Hua Ben sat in the bus and said with a smile, he saw that his teammates were a little nervous, so he took the initiative to joke.

"Why do you say that?" Patin asked cooperatively.

Huaben picked Mirisic on his toes and said, "Darko, this question you should remember deeply, you come and tell Pattin." ”

Mirisic, who was a little distraught, cheered up and said: "Yes, I remember it very well, too deeply. Do you know what February 8 last year was? ”

Patin thought hard for a moment and said tentatively: "Is it the opening of the 19th Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA?" Oh no, it was February 8, 2002. So, is it the commemoration of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904? I did a great job in high school history, and I remember that on February 8, 1904, there was a great war between Ben and Soviet Russia. ”

A group of people in the car were stunned, it turned out that so many big things happened on February 8th? Mirisic didn't know, he sneered: "These have nothing to do with us, in fact, on February 8 last year, NBA President Stern announced two new decisions, the first is that the NBA from that season, the playoffs will be changed from 5 games to 3 wins in 7 games, and from 1984 to 2002, the playoffs have been five games and three wins." ”

Patin smiled and complimented admiringly, "Darko, your memory is really good." ”

Mirisic laughed again, and Patin said it was a compliment, and Patin said that, a little ironically, he explained: "The reason why I remember this is because that day, hehe, the second decision that Stern announced was that I could go to the 2004 NBA Draft. ”

Brown and the others laughed, and Patin stepped forward and slapped Mirisic, saying, "Should I say congratulations?" ”

The mood of the players was much better in the chatter and laughter, and Wajburn continued: "We need to thank Stern for the new decision, but there was one guy who was almost angry with the decision at one point, and you probably know that. ”

Brown said: "You mean last season, right? ”

Wahben smiled and nodded, seeing that neither Patin nor Mirisic guessed what he was talking about, he pointed at Oku, who smiled: "Last season, our opponent in the first round was the Magic, and their boss Tracy McGrady you all met, that was a terrible guy!" At that time, he single-handedly led the team to a 3-1 match in the first four games, and if it had been before, his team would have advanced to the second round..."

"I'm already thinking about my next opponent." Mirisic interrupted Oku's words and said the same line as Maddy said at the time, and as soon as Oku said it, they understood what was going on, because Maddy's words were hyped up by the league.

Patin was laughing, too, but Oku wasn't, and he said seriously, "Guys, do you guys feel funny?" Ha, God knows how domineering the number 1 was when he said that - I was thinking about my next opponent! He was really qualified to say this at the time! Our team was beaten three times by him alone! ”

Huaben stopped talking, the Magic had the lowest record in the league this season, and Maddy even suffered a snow hid because of the conflict with the head coach, and he didn't meet Maddy who was a god at the time in two battles against the Magic, and failed to appreciate his demeanor.

Seeing that Hua Ben stopped talking, the others closed their mouths again, and the atmosphere became awkward again, which made Brown very anxious.

Hua Ben also noticed this, he suddenly stood up, and said, "Guys, do you know what I was thinking just now? ”

When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Hua Ben pointed out the window of the car and said word by word: "I'm thinking about the opponent in the next round!" ”

At this time, it was evening, Hua Ben was standing in the last row of the bus, and the sunlight shone in through the back window of the bus, just shrouding Hua Ben's body, as if he had put on golden armor for Hua Ben, who was dressed in a battle robe. "He was holding his head proudly with his hands open," Mirisic later told reporters, "it was like the sun god, it was so shocking, and I knew then that we really should think about who we were going to do in the next round!" ”

Although Wabeen didn't speak again, the fighting spirit of the players was stimulated by him, yes, although they didn't have a brain, Billups didn't have an inside big brother, Rashid didn't have an outside finisher, Prince didn't have a sharpshooter Hamilton, but they also had Ben Wallace, who almost won the MVP in only half a season.

The bus stopped in front of the Laberas Preventive Hospital, and thousands of journalists had gathered on both sides, and almost every sports outlet had sent people to follow the event.

Looking at the crushing heads outside and listening to the hoarse encouragement of the fans, Hua Ben took a deep breath, took the lead in getting out of the car, and walked into the floor where the VIP monitoring room was located under the guidance of the medical staff.

In the observation room, Billups and the others changed into their jerseys, and all five stood in front of the door, their hands pressed to the glass, as if standing in the arena waiting to high-five their new teammates.

Starting with Rashid, who was in the first place, Huaben high-fived his five teammates through the glass, and Mirisic and others followed last, and everyone did not fall behind, and high-fived them as in a normal game.

When the high-fives were over, Wafburn stood in the middle, and his teammates surrounded him, as if they were before going on the court in the locker room: "There are thousands of people out there waiting for this game to see our jokes, our opponent is 12 and we only have 10 people, you've all seen the reports, everybody says Detroit is going to lose, isn't it?" ”

"Do you think like they do, that Detroit is going to lose?" Waben slowly glanced at these teammates, and his voice became higher and higher: "They say Detroit will lose, they say we will be the first unlucky guy to encounter Black Eight after the new rules, they say we will give up the game and surrender, they say, they say, they say!" Fuck Nicks? Who knows what that is?! The team that was killed by us three times also has the face to say that it is our opponent?! Our opponents are New Jersey, Polis, Minnesota, and Los Angeles! But this is Detroit! This is our territory, it's the Pistons' territory, it's my Ben Wallace and it's the territory of each and every one of you! They want to take the victory away from Detroit, yes, please step on my corpse and go over! Please step on the corpses of each and every one of you! Tell me, who is our opponent?! ”

"Minnesota and Los Angeles!" Mirisic shouted with everyone.

"What are we going to do now?!"

"Get the Knicks back to New York City!"

"Brothers, kill me!" Hua Ben roared angrily, didn't look back, straightened up and walked outside the hospital, just as outside was the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium.

Photographers allowed to enter were 'snapped' for crazy shots, and every Pistons player was heavily photographed.
