Chapter 47: The Savage Detroit Pistons

Pleasant vacation time always flies by.

Two days later, after Beauvoir's reluctant kiss goodbye, Rollon returned to Wolves and flew with the team to Detroit.

There, they will face the blood and fury of the Iron Pistons.

The Detroit Pistons are based in Detroit, Michigan, USA, in the Central Division of the East, and their home stadium is Caesar Jr. Arena.

Founded in 1941, the team joined the NBA in 1948 and won NBA championships in 1989, 1990 and 2004.

In Joe's time, the Pistons were the last enemy the Bulls were willing to face.

Savage, dirty, iron-blooded, high-spirited...... They are a win-seeking bad boy team and one of the best defensive teams in the league, which is the glorious soul of the Pistons' history.

And this season, the Pistons' main lineup is still not to be underestimated.

On the inside, the Pistons have Rasheed Wallace, a hot-tempered power forward who not only has excellent speed, but also has an outside three-point shooting rate of more than 35% with one hand, especially his signature move in the interior low-post offense: turning over and shooting a straight arm jumper, which is simply unstoppable on the inside.

And Prince, Prince Prince, Jr., another small forward forward, is a defensive expert, a defensive spearhead that the Pistons have always used to match the opposing team's core stars, his long arms and defensive talent are among the best in the league, even in the Pistons team that emphasizes defensive tradition, he is firmly in the starting position.

Most importantly, this season's Pistons also have Iverson, who has been on the decline since this season, and although his speed is no longer so impressive, it is undeniable that he is still one of the few offensive guards in the league.

Not only that, but in the quarterback position, there is also Richard Hamilton, who is known as the "king of mid-range shots" because of his sharp running catch-and-shoot jumper, the mid-range sharpshooter who has trained his mid-range shooting skills to the realm, will definitely be the most headache for the Wolves in the next game.

Moreover, in the rotation lineup, role players like Kwame Brown are also rare supporting roles on the court.

For the Wolves team, who only have an inside trident at the moment, the challenge of this game is really not small.

After the plane landed, the Wolves took a bus to the resident hotel.

Luo Long didn't go to the local bar and nightclub to play at the first time, but went to the cafeteria alone to eat a bite, and then stayed directly in the gym to work energetically.

Wolves' teammates were touched by the spirit of Luo Long, and they also chose to face this game seriously.

Luo Long knew that he needed to maintain his best competitive condition in order to play at his due level in the face of iron-blooded defense, whether it was the little prince Prince Prince or the roaring Tianzun, they were all powerful opponents he was likely to encounter next, which made Luo Long feel even more excited.

When he bench press in the gym, the crazy smile on his lips is not less at all, as if he is about to get a good thing that he loves the most.

For a hunter who aspires to hunt all the powerhouses in the alliance, how can he not make Luo Long happy and excited about discovering the new prey he is about to encounter?

Night.

21:00。

The Wolves got off the bus.

The air in Detroit smelled faintly of soot that belonged to an industrial city, and Luo Long took a deep breath, then said with a smile:

"I love it here, I even smell the bad boys."

Lefu glanced at Luo Long and said with a smile:

"You're probably annoyed that you can't compete with them, haha."

Luo Long's face became a little more serious, and he said:

"Yes. However, the Pistons are still not an underdog this season, and we had better not take it lightly. ”

Although Luo Long has a very arrogant personality, it does not mean that he will despise any opponent.

Jefferson said disappreciatively:

"Dragon, you are too worried, as long as there are three of us, there is no opponent in the alliance that we can't defeat! Have you forgotten the Celtics we just won? Do you know what the media says about the three of us? ”

Luo Long didn't say anything more.

When they really encounter it on the court, they understand everything, and words are always much paler than reality.

……

Detroit fans were still enthusiastic about the game, with more than 10,000 seats full and many slogans.

"Our bad boy!"

"Beat them up!"

"Iron-blooded and dirty, victory!"

It can be said that Detroit, an old industrial city, because there are more workers, so it especially agrees with the iron and dirty of the bad boy army era, and most of the workers are savage and vulgar strong men or drunkards, who like to play hard-line style of play the most, preferably rioting on the court, and they feel that they are happy with the combination of fists and kicks.

Therefore, under the influence of the Detroit workers, the Pistons' tradition is to be brutal and brutal, focusing on defense and daring to fight, which is why they have been able to win a total of three championships in the NBA.

However, with the eventual retirement of the Bad Boys, the team with a glorious history has gradually fallen into a slump, and even for a long time, the violence and gambling incidents of the players have caused headaches for the Pistons management.

However, this season's Pistons are still very strong, and they definitely have the capital to compete for the Eastern Finals, which shows that the Pistons uniform team is indeed well managed.

And the moment Luo Long walked onto the edge of the court, the cold voice prompted by the system sounded in his head again.

【Ding! New mission arrived! 】

[Mission content: Get the first 50+ points of your career against the Pistons, an opponent known for their defense!] And win the game at the end of the game! 】

[Reward: Olajuwon's special move must be increased by 5%, and the host will be rewarded for reducing interference by 20% when hooking or shooting.] 】

Luo Long nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he saw Iverson in the distance arrogantly dribbling through to the basket.

In the original NBA history, Iverson began to decline in the 2008 season, which has something to do with his age, after all, he can't be young forever.

However, the competitive Iverson is still the existence that can be compared to Kobe, so Luo Long will not despise this superstar who is about to fall off the altar.

No one will forget.

At the peak, everyone in the league knew that he would definitely break through from the right, but the result was that no one could prevent his breakthrough.

Watching Iverson play gives the impression that all the opponents he faces are like they have been subjected to a time slowdown.

Iverson established a new era, an era of speedy offensive guards.

Being able to compete with such a superstar on the same stage made Luo Long excitedly and couldn't help but step forward.

"Hello, Aaron! I am the fire dragon, a man who is going to defeat you. ”

Iverson glanced back at Luo Long in surprise, then smiled.

"I remember what you said, boy, I think this game is starting to get interesting!"
