Chapter 382: The Feud of the Century
Chapter 382: The Feud of the Century
A friend is someone who helps you in your most difficult times;
The enemy is the one who inspires you to improve yourself all the time.
The former keeps you warm, the latter makes you strong.
In the NBA, enemies are used to being called feuds.
The natural feud is between the most powerful teams, and it is because of this term that the two teams are rivals who do not need to be "mobilized before the game". It is because of this word that the NBA is full of a flavor of history and culture, turning every enemy matchup into a classic and lingering.
Although the Pistons and Pacers are not necessarily the top in the history of the league, in the last two seasons, the grudge between them last season and this season has gradually accumulated, and after the Auburn Hills palace incident this season, this conflict has escalated and intensified, and it is not an exaggeration to call them 'feuds'.
It is even more ferocious than the feud.
After knowing that their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the Pistons instead of the Heat, the Pacers generals were as excited as they could, and the long-awaited opportunity finally came.
The Pistons and Pacers faced off in the Eastern Conference Finals, which was somewhat similar to last season's Eastern Conference Finals, when the Pacers and Pistons also played Game 7, an extremely anxious series, however, in the tiebreaker, the Pacers still lost to the Pistons and finally missed the opportunity for the Finals, and could only be eliminated in vain.
Again against the Pistons, in the Eastern Conference Finals, for the Pacers. It's also a rare opportunity for revenge.
Besides. They also have to 'thank' it. Ben Wallace's fist was also because of this punch, which made the Pacers what they are today.
If it weren't for Ben Wallace's punch, I wonder what would have happened to the Pacers now?
We have to be grateful to those who have hurt themselves, and if it weren't for them, today's walkers wouldn't be so strong. So tough.
Seventy-two wins in the regular season and forty-two consecutive wins in a single season.
The best head coach in the league is produced in the Pacers camp, and the regular season MVP is also produced in the Pacers camp, and this trophy naturally belongs to the fat man, except for the fat man, I am afraid that no one is qualified to win this championship cup.
The scoring champion of the season, if the fat man is just a great scorer, then the fat man is nothing, just a data brush, in fact. The top scorers in the league can do it if they really want to brush the numbers. It's easy to do, Kobe Bryant is not a vegetarian, it's just that they know that data is based on winning, otherwise, it's really just data, and it doesn't have any value.
If the fat man is really a data brush, then his data brush is also very different from other data brushes.
He didn't just brush up on scoring, but also said that rebounding, he brushed it, but his brush directly made him brush a rebounding king, averaging 25.5 rebounds per game, even Zhang 20,000 back then It was difficult to compare with him, only Lord of the Rings Bill Russell could do his level.
Compared to him, the other so-called scoring champions are simply weak.
Fat man, this is completely crushed.
And if the fat man just brushes the stats and rebounds, it will be okay, but he still brushes up on wins, 72 wins in the season, plus 42 consecutive wins.
This adds up to today's regular season MVP, and he is a well-deserved MVP.
It is also the extent that no one but him can do it.
Even Michael Jordan, the 'God of Basketball', can't do it to his degree, and if there is anyone in the history of the league who can compare him to him, and who can surpass the fat man, then only Magic Johnson is him.
Recently, the limelight of fat people has been so strong.
The Pacers are so strong, however, that makes the Pistons disdainful.
As the Pistons who have beaten the Pacers in the past, they also have a psychological advantage against the Pacers again.
In fact, when the two teams, the Pistons and the Pacers, who are 'feuds', meet in the Eastern Conference Finals, there is no need for media rendering and flattery, and the names of the Pistons and Pacers alone are enough to make fans enthusiastic.
No one will forget the timeless brawl between the Pacers and the Pistons at Auburn Hills Palace before the season began, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Auburn Hills Palace incident was a world war in the league.
I can't say it too much.
Again, this is naturally the enemy who is very red when they see each other.
They are also eager to roll up their sleeves and have a hand-to-hand fight before the game.
However, in order to add interest to the game, media reporters also went up again to render and set off again, interviewing the main players of both sides before the game, and asking them what they thought about encountering the Pacers or Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Ben Wallace, as one of the main initiators of the Auburn Hills palace incident, is still very arrogant, without the slightest sense of making mistakes, in fact, he does not need any awareness, if you put aside the emotion to talk about this issue, then Ben Wallace for the Pistons, not only is not at fault, but also has credit.
After all, once his punch, so that the whole team with the hope of winning the championship, directly fragmented, directly missing a strong competitor, just from this point alone, there is really no strategy better than this, although this is very immoral, but from the result analysis, then this is also the most direct means.
As a former victor, Ben Wallace is also extremely disdainful of his former underdogs, and the game has not yet started, but in an interview, he also said: "Once we could beat them, then we can do it now." ”
Their meaning is also obvious, once they could have been defeated, then they can now.
And the Pistons are the same thing for many people.
About. Pistons mean to some people. The walker response is also great. It was so rampant, and they were also very indignant about it, and Miller also fought back with great indignation, "It's too early, please don't cry when you go home fishing after the series." ”
A lot of people on the Pacers' side made similar comments, and in interviews. The fat man made it abundantly clear, "I'm not going to argue with a mad dog about anything." But I know it's going to be us who wins. ”
The battle between the Pacers and the Pistons is also imminent.
Before the start of the series, the so-called bricks and the so-called media also commented on the matches between the two sides.
Although the offensive momentum of the Pacers in the regular season is extremely strong, many experts are not so optimistic about the Pacers.
Although the Pacers have not lost a single game in the last eight games of the playoffs, they have won eight in a row so far.
However, they are more bullish on the Pistons. Not why, it was the Miami Heat who won the Eastern Conference Finals just for the Pistons. The state is bursting.
You must know that the Heat's ranking is higher than that of the Pistons, and the Pistons are not completely weak to strong, so to speak, the Pistons have withstood the test.
The Pacers are also very strong, but this is obviously not as good as the Pistons.
And from the recent form of the two teams, the Indiana Pacers who are playing at home are obviously not as strong as the away team Detroit Pistons, Detroit Pistons since they entered the playoffs, the team's performance has shown a trend of rebirth, the team has won 8 of the last 10 games, and the last 5 away games have been all wins, and the current Pistons are worthy of recognition in terms of morale and state.
On the other hand, the Pacers who are fighting at home, except for the fat man, the performance of others is not so worthy of recognition, and many times the Pacers win more by relying on the fat man's strong personal ability to win.
And judging from the recent head-to-head records between the two sides, the Pistons have not been at a disadvantage against the Pacers in the last few times, so even the Pistons are full of confidence this time.
Based on the above analysis, combined with the current handicap, the basketball Asian handicap gives the Indiana Pacers home handicap of 4.5 points at home, and the Pistons are not too optimistic about the away game, but considering the strength and recent performance between the two teams, it is not easy for the Pacers to win on their own turf this time.
In fact, it is also very wrong to say that the Pacers and Pistons are feuding.
Where is this feud?
This is obviously the revenge of killing his father.
The game between the Pistons and the Pacers also started in a very peculiar atmosphere.
A lot happened before the game started.
Although the Auburn Hills palace incident has happened for a long time, the hatred of the fans has not been reduced because of the passage of time, not only that there has been no reduction, but that it has intensified.
Knowing this, the local police have increased their manpower to prevent similar things from happening, but no matter how they prevent them, they still happened.
The Pistons' bus to visit the Pacers was blocked by Pacers fans, that is, there were no rotten eggs in the hands of the fans, just rotten vegetables, and if there were, then what would happen to the Pistons.
was blocked in the basement, and the Pistons generals were also blocked on the bus for more than half an hour, if it wasn't for the fat man to come forward to solve this matter, let him tell the fans, let the fans not cause trouble, what else would happen if they didn't keep it up?
The pre-game episode is in the past, however, the things on the field are far from over.
The game didn't feel like a game at all, it was more like a punishment from Pacers fans for the Pistons players.
The scene has been booed like a flood since the beginning of the game, without the slightest sign of extinction, and the reunion is also full of gunsmoke.
Suffering such treatment, the Pistons fans were naturally extremely unhappy and dissatisfied, and they even lost their minds for a while, and the second Auburn Hills palace incident was about to break out.
The fans are short-sighted.
The Auburn Hills brawl took a toll on the Pacers, who not only had players suspended but also received physical threats, so what was the odd thing that the Pistons visited the Pacers and the Pacers fans didn't let them suffer?
How can there be such a good thing in this world, and the matter will pass after it has passed.
Although this season the Pacers are a blessing in disguise and the fat man broke out, the Pacers have also achieved more brilliant achievements than expected before the season.
That's a good thing.
However, this yard is one yard, and the Pacers are reaping the benefits.
But what if the fat man didn't or couldn't break out?
So how should this matter be handled and how should it be ended?
This can't be handled, this can't be over.
Overall, the Pacers are still at a loss.
The scene was extremely noisy, as long as the Pistons player held the ball, then the scene must be endless boos, and the fans collectively booed.
They use this to interfere with the Pistons fans, playing in this environment, in fact, you really have to have a certain psychological quality, otherwise, it is not a strange thing for you to be sprayed to death.
Especially today, when Artest, who has been banned all season, also appeared on the court, the hearts of Pacers fans were even more unbalanced.
A good top striker, without any injuries, but, unable to play, who is this change, anyone will be unhappy, extremely unhappy, what kind of plane is this.
However, in the face of such an almost crazy Pacers fandom, the Pistons behaved extremely professionally, they didn't seem bothered by anything, they were very attentive, extremely focused on playing, how the game should be.
That's why the Pistons are tough.
The Pistons are worthy of being a team that has seen the big scene, and they can still do it by being so booed by Pacers fans, this determination is enough to see that the Pistons can enter the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons, and this is not without reason, and this is the most important, extremely important reason.
A grudge is a grudge, a game is a game, and the Pistons players are not distracted by anything.
On the contrary, it is the Pacers' side, the revenge is particularly serious, they are very eager to beat the Pistons, and they are very eager to win this game, so they are also extremely enthusiastic.
Very hot-blooded, constantly making physical contact, constantly provoking the referee's scale, they tried to use their bodies and minds to pressure the Pistons and make them surrender.
In fact, the Pacers' abnormal approach is also extremely dangerous, if it is in good times, this approach can bring good results, but what if it is not good for the team?
This doesn't work very well.
Fortunately, in their home court, and this is also the first game of the revenge battle, the performance of the Pacers soldiers is extremely good, and the state is also very good, extremely good.
Otherwise, the consequences are really unimaginable.
