125. Next round opponent (down)
Countless Detroit fans rushed outside the hospital, which was crazier than the Auburn Hills palace, with the Pistons' white and blue jerseys flying in the air, cheers and cheers making the glass of the surrounding buildings tremble, and the hospital had to evacuate patients in need of recuperation.
Wajburn clapped as if he were walking out of the tunnel with the outstretched palms of the fans on both sides, which is the same thing he did when he returned to the locker room and walked out of the tunnel.
The atmosphere at Auburn Hills Palace is indeed not as good as that of the Labras Preventive Hospital, and the stadium, which is crowded with people every game, is a little deserted today, with plenty of seats empty. In fact, the Pistons had long since sold out their playoff tickets, but the fans did not show up, they could not stand to watch the team being abused by their opponents, and they chose to use empty seats to silently protest against the unfair fate.
The Pistons players entered, Brown was hurriedly arranging the lineup, and he didn't have many available personnel today, and the lack of the main force would be equivalent to scrapping 90% of the Pistons' tactics. No matter what kind of tactics, they are arranged according to the main players.
The Knicks were laughing and laughing, Marbury was showing off his streetball skills with the ball, and Mutombo and Penny Hardaway didn't know what they were talking about, occasionally laughing. Kurt Thomas and a few rookies were pointing at the cheerleaders of the Pistons, and a few of them came together to say something, and then laughed out loud.
Wajben warmed up under the basket, and Mirisic defended him and helped him practice his hook. In fact, at this time, Hua Ben and Olajuwon's favor was already more than 50%, but he didn't dare to absorb the divine skill, and the intelligence center thought that his ** was not enough to withstand the pressure of the divine skill.
Through the last 7 wins and 1 loss in April, Hua Ben's accumulated points increased to 4880 points, which was enough to redeem two magic skills, just to avoid the collapse of **, he did not absorb one magic skill. Originally, he was going to absorb some skills related to the defender's dribbling or playmaking, but the intelligence center dissuaded him as well. Now the skills he absorbs are mainly on the inside, only two outside skills, running projection and three-point shooting, and the intelligence center told him that his ** training is not qualified enough, and the internal and external skills have conflicts with muscle and nerve requirements, which will also bring damage.
In the end, through Hua Ben's night practice, the intelligence center replaced his basket hook hand with a restricted area hook hand, a master-level skill obtained from Yao Ming.
The referee blows the whistle and players from both sides step onto the field.
The lineup on the Pistons' side really made fans despair, with center Oku, power forward Mirisic, small forward Warben, playmaking guard Pattin, and scoring guard James.
No wonder the media and fans are not optimistic, the five people here are all junior brothers in the playoffs, how can they compete with the main force of the Knicks?
Although Oku played in the playoffs last season, the rookie was a pure substitute and didn't even play garbage time. As for Huaben, psychologically he is a playoff chick. Mirisic and Patin are rookies, the latter has just come out of the NBDL for less than two months, and James has been with the Pistons for less than two months.
In contrast, the Knicks' lineup is a bit star-studded: Uncle Mutombo, a defensive expert in the center league, Kurt Thomas, a strong projection forward, Tim Thomas, a small forward, Marbury, the son of New York at this time, the organizing guard is Marbury, the son of New York at this time, the scoring guard is Penny Hardaway, the former successor of the main assistant, and Mohamed, Svetney, Alan Houston and others are sitting on the bench.
Oku fights for the ball with Uncle Mu, who is tall and has long arms.
Today's Mutombo is no longer the defensive master who led the Denver Nuggets to the Black Eight Miracle, nor is he the best defensive player who helped the AI rush to the Finals.
Seeing Huaben, Marbury pursed his lips and muttered dissatisfiedly, "This damn game, I heard that you just came back from the hospital?" Who knows if you have that shit virus on you? Wouldn't it be troublesome to infect Lao Tzu? I hate Detroit. ”
Marbury in the Knicks era was not the model captain of the later Yanjing, this guy was a well-known thorn in the NBA, and even New York fans wanted Brown to teach this guy, he and AI are known as the two most unruly guards, and of course, the two most talented point guards.
Wabbon gave Marbury a cold look, and didn't have time to speak, because the referee had already tossed the ball.
Oku jumped violently, Mutombo had just jumped, he had already taken the lead and threw it to Pattin.
Now Padding has made a name for himself in the league, but he's still far from an All-Star like Marbury. It was for this reason that Marbury didn't take him seriously, and didn't even bother to go up and pick up the ball, just ran a few steps with Patin.
Patin got the ball, Wajben whistled and rushed to the frontcourt, Mutombo couldn't catch up with him, and Cotter hurried up to block it.
At this time, the players on both sides had just entered the three-point line, and both were still in position, and Huaben took advantage of his speed to shake off Kurt in two large strides and run from the right wing of the court to the left wing through the free throw area.
Patin saw Waben move sideways, and hurriedly closed up and passed the ball over, Wabeen was left and right, and when he received the ball, he jumped and shot sharply.
An arrow pierces the heart, and the piston goes down first.
The Knicks players were not worried about this at all, Marbury ran slowly across the half court with the ball, and Wadben was wondering why this kid suddenly gave up the speed advantage, but he heard Ma Dashao say to Mutombo in the back: "Dickon Bay, I'm just waiting for you to not break fast, you have to invite me to dinner later." ”
Mutombo smiled, "What do you want to eat..."
Marbury opened his mouth as if to speak, but at that moment, his right shoulder pulled to the right like lightning, and the ball in his left hand bounced rapidly on the floor and fell to his right hand, and Patin only felt that in the blink of an eye, Marbury changed direction and passed him.
Pattin's physicality was not a star and a half away from Marbury, and when Marbury shook him off, he couldn't catch up.
Marbury thrust from outside the three-point line to the inside, tearing the Pistons' defensive line apart like a sharp scalpel. Mirisic came up to make up for the defense, Marbury turned around and spared him and went directly to the basket, Oku was shocked and hurriedly blocked, but Kurt was let go, the ball in Marbury's hand was sent in, and Kort got the ball and made an easy layup.
To be honest, during the Knicks period, Marbury really had a lot of assists, and his name as a lone wolf was not worthy of his name, but the New York fans hated him too much, and he did shoot a lot at that time, so he got such an unlucky name.
Patin bit his lip hard, and Marbury had made it too easy for him, much to his frustration. When Hua Ben served to him, he whispered: "It doesn't matter, man, you let go of that kid later, his long shot and AI have a virtue, just break through carefully." ”
That being said, Hua Ben knew that Padin couldn't prevent a lone wolf's breakthrough. You know, with this breakthrough, Marbury got a big contract with an annual salary of 20 million.
Mirisic and Oku both mentioned high post, the penalty area was controlled by Huaben, Patin protected the ball to direct his teammates to run, Mirisic and Oku made a cover, he saw the two stagger and hurriedly lifted the ball.
Just as Patin lifted the ball, Marbury jumped high.
Needless to say, Ma Dashao's bounce was needless to say, although the Patin ball shot was high, he still grabbed it.
After landing on the ground, Marbury lowered his head and fast-attacked, and no one on the floor could catch up, so the Knicks filled in two points again.
"Boy, this ball is very comfortable, keep doing this, if you keep me comfortable, I can let the team buy you to New York." Marbury said with a grin, looking indescribably proud.
Patin rarely trash-talk on the pitch, took a deep breath to suppress his impatience and still controlled the game at a slow pace. Actually, Padin is good for running and shooting, but in order to protect their stamina, they have to take their time.
This time Patin was on guard against Marbury, and he protected the ball before passing the ball again, Mirisic got the ball and was about to shoot, and Cotter jumped up in a hurry.
Mirisic smiled slightly, and wanted to cut through the opponent into the basket with the ball. As a result, he underestimated Kurt, the opponent did not jump at all, and when he squeezed in with the ball, Kurt screamed and fell, as if he had been hit by a car.
The referee blew the whistle, and Mirisic said angrily: "I didn't make any effort at all..."
Wajben walked to his half court with Mirisic in his arms and said, "It's useless, you will return it like this later, be careful of these old birds." ”
As the media has put it, the Pistons, who are almost entirely rookies, are no match for the Knicks' veterans. Attacking Hardaway again against Mike James, although Penny at this time is no longer the talented successor of the last century, it is still easy to hit James, he breaks sideways once, and when James retreats, he uses his height advantage to jump up and shoot, and hits successfully. This is just the beginning, the Knicks' power made the Pistons youngsters a little scrambling, and then Oku beat Mutombo under the basket, and as a result, he ate a hot pot from his uncle, and Marbury grabbed the fast break opportunity again, this time although Pading was fast, he was still beaten by the opponent. The opening 8:2, this score made Pistons fans feel a little bitter, I remember that in the past, it was their team that taught each other a lesson at the beginning.
