Recently, major media and newspapers have been paying attention to the game between the Magic and the Pistons, because the Magic team was beaten by the Pistons three games in a row when the big score was 3:1 lead, completely ruining their chance to advance to the next round. McGrady has no leadership qualities, and some people are surprised by the intensity of the Pistons' defense, and some people are even saying that the Pistons now have the bad boy army of the late '80s and early 9o's. **(）”

"But just yesterday, the leader of the Magic, Tracy. McGrady held a press conference to announce that he suspected that the Pistons lowered the basket on the practice court by a few centimeters before the game, and they raised the basket back to its original height in normal play, and they disrupted the Magic's pregame acclimatization training in this way. McGrady, Grant. Hill, Mike. Miller and others simply couldn't shoot a basketball in the game. And almost at the same time as the Wizards' Kwamei. Brown also had this problem, when he went to the court in the morning to practice, he realized that he could reach rebounds by standing on his tiptoes, whereas he would not normally be able to reach rebounds. Jordan found a measuring ruler to measure, and the bottom edge of the rebound of the current Pistons was only 28o centimeters from the ground, which was 1o centimeters less than the league's standard of 29o centimeters. ”.

"Joe. In response to reporters' questions, Mr. Dumas swore with his honor: This is just an accidental isolated incident, just a mistake by the arena staff, who is new to the game, and has no connection with the game between the Pistons and the Magic, and the basket is absolutely the standard height when the Magic come to adapt to the court. ”

But according to a staff member who has worked in the arena for many years, this practice has been in existence for 16 years, and they began to use such small tricks in the Chuck Daley era, that is, the terrifying bad boy army in the late 90s and early 90s of the last world has been using this tactic, and the defensive, tough bad boy army defeated Magic Johnson. Killed the Lakers, won two championships, and suppressed Michael. Jordan's five years of accolades for the bad boys didn't come from their hard work. They rely more on this tactic to disrupt the opponent's attacking touch. ”

――――― Los Angeles Times

The championship is a supreme honor, and for this supreme honor, countless people have worked hard all their lives, but have achieved nothing. If they can use some small means to win the championship, I believe they will definitely use these small means, but these small means must not be exposed in broad daylight, and once exposed in broad daylight, they will become the public enemy of the world.

Countless media reporters flocked to Detroit. Countless people have hovered outside the Pistons club, hovering outside the Pistons' practice court, and they have blown up the mobile phone of Pistons general manager Joe Dumas. Carlisle's phone exploded and even Ben. Wallace and Jerry. Starkhouse's mobile phone was blown up, countless truths that were unclear were dug up and put in front of readers, and even the bad boy team that won 2 championships was also brought to the story, and it is said that the head coach of the Pacers smiled assassin Isaiah. Thomas doesn't even dare to turn on his mobile phone now. As for Dennis. Rodman, a member of the former Bad Boys Army, was also surrounded by reporters. But now as a member of the Wizards, Dennis . Rodman had no choice but to fall into the trap, and of course he wouldn't speak ill of the Pistons, who had the best memories of his life in Detroit.

"Is this true or false? I really can't say this! Kindness! Probably there is such a thing! But you have to know that I wasn't a major member of the team at that time, I was the number four guy in that team at best, even if I did. They won't sue me either......"

Dennis. Rodman didn't say that the Bad Boys used such a trick, but reporters don't think so. (1_1) They omitted the word "probably possible" in the preceding phrase "probably there was such a thing", and the latter paragraph was completely unmentioned in the newspapers. "Dennis. Rodman has admitted" was a bold headline on the front page of the newspaper.

That's it. Villain Bill. Ranbill, Microwave Pooh. Johnson and the two also personally called to reprimand Dennis. Rodman, Mr. Big Bug couldn't laugh or cry.

Mr. Big Bug didn't admit it after all, and the fire was over after a day, but the next day, the big forward Cobra Hosler who won the Bulls' triple crown the next day. Grant swore on TV that he also felt such a problem when he played the playoffs with the Pistons, but he never thought about it, and now that he thinks about it, he was really plotted by the Pistons at that time.

After the first outcrop of the cobra, the big bird Larry. Bird also stood up and euphemistically criticized the Detroit Pistons' approach, although he did not directly say that he was also plotted, but his words revealed that the Pistons defeated the Celtics by dull means back then.

Immediately after the Lakers veteran James . Worthy also stood up and scolded the reporters for the vileness and shamelessness of the Pistons, of course he didn't say it directly, he said to the reporters like this: "How rubbish that Pistons are, everyone knows that in order to win, fake falls and black feet are considered light, in order not to let you go to the basket, they may even punch you in the head, even if it is possible to beat you half-through, and lower the basket by 1o centimeters when the opponent is training, which is light, If possible, I'm sure they'll give their opponents a few bigger baskets. ”

That team of bad boys is really hateful, they offended countless big-name stars in the NBA at that time, and all people will choose to believe that the invincible lion of that era swept the world in this way when facing this incident.

Detroit was in a mess, and the Pistons fans were divided at this moment, one of the old fans shed sad tears in front of reporters, he cried and said: "The Pistons are our pride, maybe you think they are dirty, but this is also very manly, no matter how dirty they play, we will support them, but we never thought that our championship would come like this, which is almost no different from the stolen one, and we are ashamed of this." This is our shame. ”

In the United States, there is a spirit called the "American spirit", and here the emphasis is: as long as you work hard. You can be successful, but only if you are an upright person, you have to be honest, and you have to make sense of your own personal efforts. If you rely on those so-called secret means to succeed. You're going to be spit on by all Americans.

There is nothing wrong with iron-blooded defense, in the eyes of some people, it can even be called bloody and manly! But if you adjust the height of the basket to give yourself an advantage, so that the two sides are no longer on the same running line and win the championship. You're going to be disdained by everyone, and it's clear that the Pistons have been disdained by everyone, including their own fans.

"We have an advantage against the Pistons, but we can't afford to take it lightly!" All the people in the locker room who had changed were waiting for Doug in a circle. Counsel of Corinth.

"The core of their inside line is Ben. Wallace, which was also the most critical factor in their win over the Magic, averaged 18.6 rebounds per game in the seven big games against the Magic, including 8.4 frontcourt rebounds and 4.3 blocks. This number jù is against the sky. He gave the Pistons a full eight more chances to get a second offense. Gives the Magic at least 1o fewer chances to make a second offense. Although I think Kwame is better than Ben. Wallace is better, but I have to admit that even our Kwame can't do it at this point, and if we want to take out the Pistons, we have to kill Ben first. Wallace, to get rid of Ben. Wallace, then I have only one way. That's where we're going to pull him out, at least to pull him away from the paint area. ”

Doug. Collins paused. He looked up at me and said, "Kwamei, I'll leave this task to you." Whether you can pull that exploding head out is a matter of whether we win this game or not, and I ask you again, can you do it? ”

"Yes! Absolutely! I nodded vigorously, although Ben. Wallace is very good, but I don't believe I don't even have the ability to hook him out, and if I don't, I can almost go home and sell roasted sweet potatoes.

"Good! I believe you! Remember, it's your offense that hooks him out, not that you hook him out and hit him. "Doug. Collins instructed again.

"There was another person who played a very important role in the Pistons' win over the Magic, and that was his small forward No. 22, Tysean. Prince, listen don't underestimate him, although there are some other factors in Maddy's shooting rate of less than 3o%, but we have to know that Maddie was defended by him for the whole game without breaking through, from this point of view, he is definitely the top defender, Rally, Caron, if you two face him, don't blindly break through, if you don't have a chance, pass the basketball out, I think Chauncey will know what to do with the ball you wear out! ”

"Jerry. Stackhouse is their scorer, he has a unique skill, he rolls over and then pulls a jump shot after a single with a basket, the shooting percentage is very high, Richard, your task is to stick to him, stick to him, if he sits on his back and hits, resist him, provoke him, let him go for a roll over jumper, Kwame will appear behind you, he will give him a hard hat, you know. ”

"The Pistons' main point guard is Chakey. Atkins, but we'll have to watch out for his replacement, Lindsay. Hunter, this is a person who survived the era of smiling assassins, although he has been wandering in recent years, but he will never be soft at critical moments, in the last year it was his three consecutive three-pointers against the Kings that allowed the Lakers to bite the score in Game 5, we must not underestimate him, pay attention to him will suddenly shoot one step outside the three-point line, Chauncey, Tyrone, Michael, no matter who the three of you face him, you must be careful. ”

Doug. After Collins finished explaining the tactics, he put down the tactics board, glanced around at everyone, cleared his throat, and said with a stern face:

"Detroit has been a bit uneasy in recent days, and the Pistons should have been prevented from practicing normally by those reporters, but this can't be a reason for us to despise our opponents, and we should still be able to clearly remember the fourth game of the last round at home against the Pacers, just because we were a little careless, a little underestimated, we would have been led by the opponent by 27 points in the first three quarters, if it wasn't for Kwame's explosion in the fourth quarter, if Reggie. Miller gave up the last kill, and we could be completely turned around by the Pacers like magic. ”

"Boys, remember it all for me, the one who laughs last is the one who laughs the most, don't *** distract me. If it happens again like the last game, I don't mind changing the position of some people, I don't mind having some people guard the water cooler. "Doug. Collins coldly threatened.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Doug. Collins shouted at the end.

"Got it!" The crowd shouted.

"Out of ......" Doug. Collins shouted with a wave of his hand.

The 21,995-seat Auburn Hills Palace Arena. Today it can be said that it is full, but this full house is fundamentally different from the previous full, in the past, everyone in the stadium was shouting loudly for their team, but today it is completely different. There are countless signs in the stadium, but none of them say come on.

"Joe, tell us the truth!"

"Dennis, you're a traitor!"

"Ben, please sue me. This is not true! ”

"We won the ...... by strength"

The stadium was full of sadness, and when the players on the Pistons team came out of the locker room one by one, there was no cheering, which cannot but be said to be sad!

Of course, when the Wizards stepped onto the court, there was no sound. The game began in a near-death silence.

I stood on the middle circle, and on the opposite side was the legendary guy who was better at bench presses than me, the man who grabbed rebounds and drank cold water, and the macho man who was only 2,1 cm tall but played the role of center and won the four-time Defensive Player of the Year.

I licked my lips and relieved my slightly nervous feelings. Like the exploding head on the other side, he bent his waist. looked seriously at the fiery red elf in the referee's hand.

The basketball flew up, and I jumped up with both feet, stretched out my palm and slapped it fiercely at the basketball that had begun to fall, and Big Ben on the opposite side was also trying to fight for the basketball.

I'm pretty confident in my bounce, but obviously Ben Wallace has a pretty good bounce as well. The palms of the two of us actually slapped the basketball together, and the basketball didn't fly anywhere. The basketball fell straight down between the two of us.

I tried to bend over and bow my head. Went to scramble for the basketball that had fallen to the floor, but Mr. Exploding Head was doing the same thing, and the basketball rolled off the floor at once under the scramble between the two of us, fortunately Chauncey. Billups ran there, picked up the basketball, and took it down.

"Cheer up, don't relax!" Michael. Jordan stood on the sidelines and shouted.

The game seemed to be in a tight battle from the start, but it was only seeming.

Chauncey. Billups was slowly dribbling the basketball and looking for opportunities on the outside. Butler and Richard. Hamilton and the two of them were running on the outside, and Carlos. Boozer at the top of the arc and Crawford. Robinson was pestering while I was talking to Ben. Wallace engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and Ben. Wallace's strength was unexpectedly strong, he relied on my strength alone, and I couldn't get into a good position on the inside.

"Pay attention to the defense of Kwamei, don't let him shoot lightly!" Rick. Carlisle kept shouting from the sidelines, and it was clear that Rick. Carlisle has studied the Wizards very well, knowing that I am the core of the Wizards, and as long as I limit me, I will limit half of the Wizards' offensive firepower.

But today I'm not the protagonist of the attack, I'm a supporting character, all I have to do is to put Ben. Wallace pulls out the inside line and gives it to Cuarón. Butler, Richard. Hamilton, Chauncey. Billups creates a zào opportunity.

The clock was ticking, and when the number above the rebound became 8, Chauncey. Bloups' left hand was raised, and two fingers of his index and middle fingers were extended. I moved, I sat down with my ass hard and pushed it against Ben. Wallace, then ran to the outside.

"Watch out for Kwamei, stick it up ......" Rick. Carlisle's voice was so harsh that it seemed to be heard throughout the arena.

Root. Wallace followed closely, Crawford. Robinson also came over from the flank.

I turned around and was facing the basket, which I had in my hand at this time, and if an opponent defended me, my basketball would probably shoot out of the basket, but this time the basketball was not in my hand.

Chauncey. Billups tossed the basketball high into the air, and it arced in a perfect arc and landed towards the paint area, where a figure was on the high.

Richard, who rarely dunks. Hamilton received the basketball in the paint, jumped high, held the ball in his left hand and scored the first two points for the Wizards with a backhand dunk.

I turned my head to look at the sidelines, Rick. Carlisle was half-open with his mouth open, a look of surprise that seemed to surprise him that the Wizards' first shot was not me. Root. Wallace was also surprised, and he didn't know what was going on.

Doug. Collins clapped on the sidelines, and Brandon was a standby. Heywood and Etan. Thomas was shaking the towel vigorously.

I run to the backcourt quickly, I want to defend quickly, I can be a supporting role in attack, but when it comes to defense, I am the absolute protagonist...... (To be continued......)
