120.Thunderbolt (Part I)
With a beautiful 58-24 record, the Pistons entered the long-awaited playoffs with the second best in the East and third in the league, and the Pistons had a great time in the final days, a team that has given the league a great shock this season and is still full of honors.
Detroiters are expecting a miracle, and regarding the miracle of this season's MVP, Huaben is currently ranked second on the MVP voting list behind Garnett, followed by Duncan and O'Neal Jr.
Before each playoff game, teams organize a community event, which is a traditional custom to advertise for the upcoming playoffs. As for the teams that don't make the playoffs, they also have to do community activities that can be advertised for next season.
"Why can't you just take a break? These propaganda things seem to be what the team should do, right? The veteran Campbell muttered helplessly, a season's campaign, with his advanced age, he really has to rest, otherwise the playoffs will drag him down.
Rashid hugged Campbell and said, "It's our responsibility, bro, we should go out into the community and meet these kids, you know, they may have been preparing for today's event for a month!" β
Even Brown looked sideways at Rashid's words, and Hamilton, who had always been expressionless, was also surprised, and he whispered, "Did I hear me wrong?" Can dogs change to eat? β
Rashid's changes in the Pistons have indeed made fans and the media unbelievable, the firecrackers in the Portland locker room, the drug dealers of the Trail Blazers, and the roaring Tianzun who likes to provoke the referee the most have changed significantly since he came to the Pistons, and it is surprising that he can fit into the Pistons locker room, and what is even more unbelievable is that he has not eaten T for 20 consecutive games!
For Rashid's change, the Detroit media put the credit on Brown, saying that he "deserves to be the most thorny coach in the league", and Philadelphia fans also praised and missed the old coach, thinking that 'it was no accident that he led AI to the Finals', and fervently hoped that he could return to coach, and the 76ers did not even enter the playoffs this season.
The most eye-popping change for Rashid is Portland, where Trail Blazers head coach Cheeks once said in an interview: "He's the kind of talent who doesn't obey discipline, and if he's willing to follow the head coach's command, he's another Duncan." If he's that good in Portland, I'm willing to build a team around him, and I'm sure he can lead us to the Finals. β
Rashid was dismissive of Cheeks' praise, go the Finals, the Trail Blazers don't want to make it to the Finals in their lives. The Trail Blazers did not have a good record this season, not even touching the side of the playoffs, and they are also one of the bad teams in the West, Rashid told reporters: "Fortunately, I came to Detroit, otherwise I don't think I would have known what the playoffs are like in my life, and I wouldn't know what it's like to be second in the East." β
On April 17, 2004, the Pistons asked five starters to come to Auburn Hills Palace to work with the team's publicity and photographers to prepare for a playoff promotion in a downtown area of Detroit.
The league doesn't have a rule on the number of people to advertise, it just tells them to 'be serious', so it makes sense to only use starters to promote and rest the rest. No one understands the importance of physical strength to the playoffs better than the head coaches of a team, especially a team like the Pistons, who are defense-oriented.
The reason why I started with Campbell's complaint was because Huaben called Brown and Dumas, and he was not coming to the community service this time, and he had to accompany Olajuwon to contact the basket footwork. For Huaben's request, Brown and Dumas naturally agreed, because Huaben is the team's most enthusiastic public welfare activities, in fact, in the past half season, he has been serving in the community when he has time, and the Pistons' recent surge in Detroit support is not unrelated to Huaben.
In order to make up for five people, Campbell's hapless boy was pushed up, Mirisic was more suitable, and Oku was not bad, and the two have become the main interior players in the team's rotation. But both of them are very suitable for learning fantasy dance steps, and now that they have cheap teachers, how can they let go of this opportunity?
In the personal training gym in the Warburn villa area, Huaben, Mirisic, and Oku wore small vests and walked around under the basket, and Padding took the ball to the fast run, and all four were sweating profusely. Olajuwon was yelling with a whistle in his mouth, and Eva and Bale were both temporarily reinstated, one as a videographer and the other as a stadium assistant.
After the warm-up under the basket, Olajuwon first demonstrated to the three people, and he called Mirisic: "Darko, you come to defend me, pay attention to my movements." β
Hua Ben volunteered and said, "Master, I'll defend it." In order to improve the relationship, he quickly increased the friendship by more than 50%, and Hua Ben recently served Olajuwon like a father, and never let go of any opportunity to show himself.
Olajuwon sneered, rejected Hua Ben's proposal, and said solemnly: "You have to look good, Ben, you are the worst learner!" β
Bale, who was standing behind the camera tripod, said to Eva: "Believe it or not, Hakim is afraid of Ben's defense, and if he was younger, he would have been happy to target Awaben." β
Eva nodded and whispered, "Moreover, he is also afraid that Ben will violently hurt him, to be honest, Ben is really violent enough." Her last sentence meant something.
Bell seized the loophole for the first time, and she smiled and teased, "Was Ben violent to you?" β
Eva smiled and said helplessly, "I would like to, but Ben is an honest man, and besides, he is not the type I like." β
Only outsiders are present, and Eva has always been far away from Huaben, so although everyone doubts her relationship with Huaben, no one can come up with evidence. Since returning to Detroit, Bell has been without a companion, Alba has been in a hurry after a day of coming, and now Eva has come and has no friends, so the two lonely beautiful women get together.
It may be that the unsuccessful mess in Hollywood allowed the two to find common ground, Bell and Eva played very speculatively, and now Eva lives in Bell's villa.
"Watch my movements, guys, look at my steps, see how my upper body and lower limbs work, watch my hands move!" Olajuwon said, his back against Mirisic and a slight back, with this rebound suddenly took a small step forward, protecting the ball with his left hand and slapping the ball with his right hand, and quickly moving two steps to the left with his feet crossed.
Mirisic was also nimble and easily chased after him, saying that Olajuwon's speed was not enough. But just as he moved, Da Meng, who had been sticking his butt to his lower abdomen, felt the changes in his muscles, guessed his follow-up movements, and his sideways body came to an abrupt halt.
He quickly retracted the ball, and at the same time cut a big step to the right with his right foot, and his majestic body spun sharply around the center of his right foot, and immediately shook off Milicic's defense, and changed from his back to the opponent to facing the hoop, and there was no obstacle in front of him.
In the process of turning, Olajuwon did not put the ball away like an ordinary player, but held it horizontally, right in front of Mirisic's eyes, although the Serbian knew that the big dream had begun to turn, but because the basketball was in front of him, he subconsciously did not move, still staring at the basketball. After then turning, Olajuwon withdrew his arm, and only then did Mirisic think about moving quickly to defend, but how fast can a person move as fast as retracting his arm?
Easily tossed up, the ball was thrown into the hoop.
It was only then that the cries of Bell and Eva, who had been fighting all the time, rang out: "Oh my God, Hakim is like a big spinning top, he spins so fast!" Wouldn't he get dizzy?! β
Olajuwon smiled at the two girls, stretched out his hand and patted the unconvinced Mirisic and said, "If you think that your opponent is old and he may not be able to break out once, then you wait to receive his lesson." β
Hua Ben clapped and shouted, "Master, the bunker is up!" Handsome! Dakko is being played like a dog by you, hahahaha. Do you want to show it again? I'm going to defend, and Memet doesn't see it. β
