293. Fight the defending champion

"Next up is Ben.camey.www.xstxt.orgvp, a super center from Virginia United, a six-foot-nine-inch, 260-pound super center, the league's No. 1 tough guy, Detroit's former captain, and a cosmic monster who has brought endless honor to Auburn Hills Palace and brought endless blood to Detroit fans!" DJ roared hoarsely and gave the most passionate introduction to the city's former heroes.

Wajben took a deep breath and trotted across the aisle, and when he appeared on the court, he stopped, walked slowly as he had done in previous games, high-fived and clapped with the fans on either side of the aisle, while constantly waving to the fans cheering for him.

To be able to appear in the palace of Auburn Hills with such an identity, Hua Ben really did not expect that he thought that the violent fans of this city would boo him with the loudest voices and would insult him with the most vicious language, but no, maybe there were, but very few.

Joe. Dumas stood at the entrance of the Pistons players' tunnel with his hands behind his back, looking at the thunderous fans, he sighed imperceptibly, it was really a trick!

Many fans held up signs in their hands that read 'Joe. Dumas, please get out of class', 'Pistons uniforms, a bunch of stupid pigs', 'White pigs with black skin'

Speaking at the Bobcats' signing conference, Wabben explained his reasons for leaving Detroit: "I love that team, I have the most brothers there, but I have to leave because no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I play for that team, they never respect me."

I don't want a big contract, I just want them to stand up and say justice when that kid in West Germany needs help the most, but no one wants that, they just care when I sign my contract and when I play for the team, I don't want to play for a team like that. Detroit fans, thank you for your continued support! I'm not sorry for the Pistons, I'm just sorry for you guys! ”

Almost at the same time, in Los Angeles on the West Coast, a big fat man with a smile on his face landed at Staples Arena, where he was treated almost the same as Huaben, and the fans in Los Angeles welcomed O'Neal with thunderous applause, the super center who brought them three consecutive championships and brought endless joy!

Los Angeles needed entertainment, and O'Neal was born; Detroit needed iron-blooded toughness, and Warburn's arrival was crucial, and he reinterpreted the meaning of the iron-blooded piston. Thomas, Ranbir retired, and no one else could do that.

Then came the Pistons players, and the cheers of the fans didn't stop at all, but without the sky-piercing madness that had previously welcomed Huaben. It was only when Milicic, a promising star, came out that the cheers rang out.

After the players entered, the Pistons uniforms began to enter the court, and before the game they were to hold a grand event to present championship rings to players who won last season.

The glittering championship ring was brought up by the cheerleading babes, and Wahben, Pattin, and Oku were invited to stand in the middle of the court, where they donned last season's jerseys and accepted the ring.

Jordan stood on the side of the court with a smile as a voice rang out: "Michael, you're always so lucky, let's be honest, you have the best player in the league." ”

The smile on Jordan's face grew even deeper at hearing the voice, which he was familiar with. The two are old rivals, in the past, on the court, the two sides almost fought many times, of course, the reason why they didn't fight, Jordan was a little afraid of him, compared to fighting, the taciturn Joe. Dumas threw him out two streets, and a pair of iron fists could not kill him but also cripple him, not to mention that Dumas was surrounded by Thomas, Ranbir, and Rodman.

Jordan was never a big-bellied man, and he was notoriously incompatible with the Pistons, especially the bad boys of the 80s. This hatred continued until after retirement, and Jordan and Dumas, Thomas and others still have not dealt with each other, and scolded each other when they caught each other.

"The best players are always with the best players." Jordan glanced at Dumas and said lightly, "Oh, I'm saying it in vain, you definitely don't understand what I mean, do you?" ”

Dumas was not angry, he smiled: "Yes, I am not as smart as you, and I am not as good as your vision." That's right, Kwame. How is Brown's kid doing in Washington? He's the champion you picked with your own hands. ”

In 2001, Jordan made a comeback with the Washington Wizards, at the cost of the team's top pick. After repeated investigations, he selected the genius high school student Kwame. Brown created the first parallel import champion in history. This incident has always been a pain in Jordan's heart, and it is also his backlash, but his opponents like to mock him with this matter, which is normal, after all, this kind of thing is too embarrassing.

Jordan was angry by Dumas's words and wanted to hit someone, and now he has a brawl master like Huaben by his side, but considering that this is Huaben's parent team, it is estimated that this kid will not help him out, so this evil breath is better to swallow.

After determining the starting lineup, he waved his fist and shouted: "Listen, boys, I don't care where you used to hang out, I don't care if you like Detroit or not, anyway, I hate this team the most, so I want you to clean up those bad boys on the court today and give them some color!" ”

Hua Ben smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm a professional player, I won't show mercy!" ”

Patin and Oku looked at each other, put their hands on them, and said in unison, "I won't show mercy either." ”

The others folded their hands one after another and shouted, "No mercy!" ”

This sentence made the reporters on the side of the stadium hear it, and they rolled their eyes one by one and pouted, who is merciful? You guys are the defending champions and have won all eight preseason games, so it seems that people have to show mercy, right?

The starting lineup of the Bobcats is: center Oku, power forward Wang Zhizhi, small forward Huaben, playmaking guard Pattin, and scoring guard Iguodala.

The starting lineup of the Pistons is: center Milicic, power forward Rashid, small forward Prince, playmaking guard Billups, and scoring guard Hamilton. This is the new Pistons Five Tigers, and after the preseason test, this lineup is terrifying enough!

Before the game, Wabben walked up to ESPN's live booth, and he hugged Miller and said, "Reggie, congratulations on finding a new life." ”

Miller smiled: "Such words really don't seem to come out of your mouth, I thought you were dizzy and looking for the wrong opponent, and you came to me to write a war letter." ”

"The next battle book? How dare I? Now you're a commentator, and I'm counting on you for my image. Waben laughed, he took out the championship ring he had just gotten in his hand, handed it to Miller, and said, "Reggie, this is my gift to you, I will give this ring to you." ”

Miller looked at Waben in surprise, and Cole next to him smiled: "Man, are you going to propose to Reggie?" That's big news! ”

Wajben shrugged and said to Miller, "I have the Russell Cup, this ring is of little use to me, I'm going to get more rings, it's in my honor room, it's just going to stop me." I think you need this more than I should, and that's what you deserve, thanks to the seven big fights you played with me last season. ”

Miller smiled, he reached out to take the championship ring, and said with some sadness: "Thank you, Ben, really, although I didn't get it myself, but with such a ring, my career can come to an end." ”

Jordan walked over and hugged and talked to Cole, and finally left the same advice as Huaben: "Say a few more nice words to us, and, you know who I hate the most, don't save face for Detroiters!" ”

When the referee blew the whistle, Waben took a deep breath, took off his training clothes and took the lead onto the court, followed by Patin, Oku, Iguodala and Wang Zhizhi.

Starting in the first regular season game of the Bobcats, Wang Zhizhi was really excited. Of course, he knows the reason, not that he is strong enough to handle this position, but that there is really no one on the Bobcats inside.

If Warburn and Oku play on the inside, the small forward positions will be empty, and Gerrard and Prince are both strong defensive and weak offensive players. Prince's attacking weaknesses are nothing, and they have four more scoring points. The Bobcats team can't do it, the Bobcats need five positions to have attack power, and their overall strength is too weak! Although Wang Zhizhi is not very capable, his offense is good, which is enough to cause a little trouble for the Pistons, and as for defense, Huaben's assistance defense can make up for his loopholes.

What Wang Zhizhi didn't know was that CCTV bought the live broadcast rights of this game, and after discussion, the Bobcats uniform team decided to make a second Yao Ming, giving Wang Zhizhi enough opportunities to open the Asian market from him!

Oku and Milicic jumped the ball, and the two brothers shook hands amicably, then stood on either side of the midfield on one left and one on the right waiting for the referee to throw the ball.

The ball flew, and the two seven-foot men jumped into the air like rockets, two long white arms intertwined in the air, and the target was the flying orange basketball.

"Smack!" With a muffled sound, Milicic, who was more bounced and bounced, took advantage and slapped the ball into the hands of Billups in the back.

The Bobcats players all retreated, Billups ran to the front court with the ball, and saw Rashid stuck with Wang Zhizhi asking for the ball, he sent the ball directly, and then waved his hand and shouted: "Pull it out, let Rashid single!" ”

Rashid, who is at his peak, has a good singles ability, and it is impossible to prevent him with Wang Zhizhi, but Huaben can't let go of Prince, this kid's three points are still very accurate, and he often fired on the outside last season, which often results miraculously.

Rashid got the ball and retreated to the three-second zone, he looked around, and made sure that after Hua Ben was pulled out, his butt was pushed back, and Wang Zhizhi was directly knocked and stumbled. With this, Rashid roared, and Lisuo turned around with Wang Zhizhi, slapped the ball on the ground with his big hand, took two steps, and jumped up when he stepped into the penalty area.

Although Wabbon followed Prince, he kept an eye on the inside game, and when Rashid turned, he quickly rushed in, chased the ball in Rashid's hand and jumped.

Instead of shooting blindly, Rashid threw the ball backwards as if he had expected it. Wajben was shocked, it was Prince who got the ball!
