On December 12, in the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, with the final quarter of the game remaining, disappointed fans had already left the stadium in twos and threes.

Before the start of this supersonic and Piston-to-Pistons showdown, no one was optimistic about the supersonic in the absence of the boss Ray Allen.

But the SuperSonics froze the Pistons' home court with a dense three-point rain.

In less than three quarters, the SuperSonics led the Pistons by 20 points on 9-of-15 three-pointers.

Big Ben's desperate efforts to grab seven frontcourt rebounds in the first three quarters didn't help, and when the opponent was too accurate, it didn't mean much for his teammates to be accurate.

What's more, the Pistons' three-point shooting was 0 of 8, and the more they missed, the more they didn't dare to shoot, and the more they missed.

Larry Brown could only close his eyes helplessly in the face of this situation.

It is not a crime of war to die on this day.

Compared with Carlisle, who can use three-point points and defend three-point points, Larry Brown's attitude towards three-point points is one word, disdain.

In his opinion, the gambling style of playing three-point play is not the way a strong team should play, what opens up space, two points longer is enough, since he came to the Pistons, the Pistons' overall average of three-point shots per game is close to halved compared to last season.

Although the Pistons' defensive tactics emphasize the defense of the outside line, it basically depends on the individual ability of the players outside the three-point line.

If you have the ability to try your hand at three-pointers in the playoffs.

If it had been a week ago, the Pistons had lost to him like this, which meant that the other party's luck would have passed. But the Pistons haven't been in a good situation lately, and counting this game, the Pistons have lost four in a row.

If you look at it overall, the four-game losing streak is actually nothing, and the Pistons now have an overall record of 15-9 and can still rank fourth in the East, which is not bad.

The problem is that there is no harm if there is no comparison, and the Pacers after the change of coach are too good this year, or the former head coach Carlisle, who was fired by the Pistons, has done too well in coaching.

The Pacers, who had just won more than half of last season and only one round of the playoffs, have a winning rate that is higher than that of the Lakers who formed "F4" after the change of coach, and they have run into the championship queue.

Seeing Carlisle getting better and better with the Pacers and building an ordinary playoff team with the possibility of competing for the championship, the Pistons are suffering more and more doubts.

After the loss, the Pistons' management and coaching staff met overnight.

"We need to change Larry, it's just that the way it is right now, the team can't get very far in the playoffs."

"You've seen in the last few games, whether it's Oku, Rebraxia, or Campbell, it's not a good starter."

"We have a lot of players in the team who have trade value, but there are not many who can fit the team."

'So our opinion is to give Milicic more playing time.'

"Mo Wen's kid is also a capable player, and he's also Asian, and for some reasons, Davis [Pistons owner] wants you to give him more playing time."

"If you want me to say that what happened last time was not the child's fault, I think such a long time of punishment is enough."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Larry Brown pursed his lips and frowned.

Larry Brown has long expected the difficulties of the management, and the voice of the team manager has never been the past experience and glory, but the current achievements.

When he first arrived, the coach's credentials were there, and the Pistons could be extremely respectful of him, and as he led the Pistons to a 9-1 record in the first 10 games, his voice on the team grew louder and louder.

If you don't use it, you don't need it, that is, a rookie in combat power, and if you say that the snow is hidden, it will be hidden, and Dumas, the general manager, is not easy to do with him.

But as soon as the results are not good now, and there is a lot of external pressure, these ghosts and ghosts will start to doubt him.

"Is this the team's suggestion, OK, I'll think about it, believe me Dumas, the current predicament is only temporary. We're on track. Just need a chance. ”

Nearly 30 years as a head coach allowed Larry Brown to keep his anger down and deal with it relatively calmly.

"Keep an eye on Portland, you should know what I'm talking about."

Dumas nodded and shook his head.

"I know, but we can't put our hopes on something uncertain, and even if it does, we don't necessarily have enough leverage to trade him, after all, the guy you know is a two-time All-Star, and the asking price over there is not low."

It's not a secret that Rasheed Wallace, a former All-Star, has been waived by Trail Blazers management, and that wants to trade him is not a secret.

Previous seasons have proven that Rashid can't lead the team to success, and he doesn't have enough quality and always likes to dare to yell at referees for technical fouls, which makes the Trail Blazers management think that this guy has a problem with his brain.

In addition, Randolph the Fat Man has already brushed up points, oh no, he has grown up. The Trail Blazers management had the idea of putting this guy on the shelf and dumping it.

But Rashid only has one year left on his contract, and although he is a two-time All-Star and an interior player, more of the teams that learned the news are still in a wait-and-see mode.

There is no shortage of starters for several championship contenders and playoff powerhouses at the No. 4 spot.

The Lakers have Malone, the Pacers have Ao, the Spurs have Dull, the Mavericks have drivers, the Kings have Webb, and the Timberwolves have Garnett.

And those who are hopeless in the playoffs don't think that a big forward who can solve anything by exchanging a bunch of chips for a playoff round trip for three consecutive years.

Not to mention that with only one year of contract, Rashid will lose a lot if he doesn't renew his contract.

So the two-time All-Star inside line was smashed in the hands of the Trailblazers, and it can't be said that no one asks for the price, but it can only be said that there is no one who is sincere.

"WHAT, BIG BEN, ARE YOU SURE IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO DYE DACK'S HAIR IN THIS COLOR?"

Looking at Milicic, whose head was turned green by Big Ben, Mo Wen's head was buzzing.

It's just green, Big Ben also made a hairspray to make a style for Milicic, and his hair was glued together and locks were locked, and Milicic looked the same as Bai Jue in Naruto at the moment.

"Don't you think it's cool, if I were ten years younger, I'd get a similar haircut."

Big Ben looked at Milicic's hair in front of the mirror and looked left and right twice, very satisfied.

"Crooked Richgood, Fantsi, Oily No, Love Come!"

Milicic also gave a thumbs up to himself in front of the mirror, as a delicate teenager who likes to dye his hair, he was also happy with this hairstyle, if only Big Ben could be as gentle on the court as he was just now.

It is not a secret that Big Ben will get a haircut in the Pistons, Big Ben's family has 11 brothers and sisters, when he was a child, the family was very poor, and the haircut was done at home, and then his talent awakened, he got better and better, and he also helped his neighbors in the community to pay for a haircut, and later Big Ben went to Oakley's basketball camp to earn his own haircuts.

And Milicic's penchant for dyeing his hair is also well known in the Pistons, because his hair has changed three colors in the three months since he came to the Pistons - pure white - yellow and white - gray.

Because of Mo Wen, Milicic has a good relationship with Big Ben in this life.

Big Ben was a little disdainful of Milicic at first, a white man with little muscle and not hard enough.

But when Mo Wen invited him to the boxing gym to play, he watched the brutal appearance of a sandbag with Larry Brown's head on it that was about to be hammered by Milicic.

He also had a different view of the 18-year-old white man.

Later, when he saw Mo Wen and Milicic standing on the octagonal platform, although Milicic was fiercely suppressed by Mo Wen, he dared to fight back in his spare time, he felt that this young man was still a man.

Although it's a bit immoral to "poke" Larry Brown villain in the back, Big Ben can understand it.

Sometimes Big Ben even has the illusion that he is often praised by Larry Brown as the best of the best, and this unlucky kid who gets sprayed every day is more like a failed draft.

Speaking of which, Big Ben has also been a little uncomfortable under Larry Brown's "high hopes" lately.

Larry Brown has been thinking about developing Big Ben's offensive ability this season, and he is emotionally grateful to the coach who appreciates him, and who wouldn't want to shoot a little more and have better stats.

The problem is that Larry Brown doesn't design a corresponding interior strategy for Big Ben, and more shots is to stuff the ball to Big Ben and let him attack against the defenders.

If you talk about defense, Big Ben patted his chest, the entire league except O'Neal has not been afraid of anyone, but when it comes to offense, his hard and stiff muscles really don't do this.

The ball is hard, he is also hard, and the two hard same-sex repulsors.

Big Ben's shots went up, but the shooting percentage became quite ugly, and the increase in ball possession allowed him to shoot the most free throws of his career.

But hell, if his bounce had been any better, he'd rather try a free-throw line dunk than make a free-throw line free throw — he can't even complain about his free-throw shooting level that's worse than O'Neal's.

At the free-throw line, he felt like a zoo monkey, or even less than the clever monkeys who looked accurate in catching and throwing banana peels.

Milicic's attack, although like a younger brother in front of him, does have potential.

If Milicic can practice his defensive confrontation and share his interior offensive tasks on the court, he feels that the Pistons' lineup is about to be perfected.

"Do you want to try dyeing your hair, you see Duck has been playing more and more lately, and I think it's a credit to his hairstyle, his hairstyle has caught Larry's attention."

Big Ben recommended his craft to Mo Wen.

"Leak, leak, leak! I can't... Uh, I mean our national team doesn't allow us to dye our hair. Mo Wen found a reasonable reason for himself. In fact, he just didn't want to dye his green hair.

"Our national team does not allow players to dye their hair and tattoos, even if they are not in game time, it is best not to violate the rules, turn around and look for you to do a hairstyle when your hair is longer, just dye your hair."

In fact, Mo Wen doesn't have any data now, and he doesn't know if he can enter the national team, if he remembers correctly, Xue Yuyang, who was also selected by the NBA, doesn't seem to be able to enter next year's Olympic national team.

Now there are four Chinese players in the NBA, he has no data, and he has no cherishing sex, so it would be a pity if he failed to be selected for the national team.

After all, if nothing else, the only time the dream team fell in the Olympics, there was no store in this village after that.
