When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares at you.

This season, the Bulls are looking to get revenge on the Pistons, and the Pistons also attach great importance to the Bulls, a team that has been faintly showing signs of rising in the East last season.

This season, the Bulls just relied on the addition of Byron Davis to strengthen the point guard, which immediately freed Doon, and then allowed Doon to do more for the Bulls in other aspects.

Of course, the reinforcement of the bench and the growth of rookies are also important.

In short, the Bulls not only have a stronger and more perfect starting lineup, but the bench strength has also become more and more unfathomable.

On the other hand, the Pistons didn't make much moves in the summer, and the only thing that is commendable is to negotiate a contract extension with Prince in advance.

And this also means that this season's Pistons have to fight with their backs.

If this season doesn't work, then maybe Big Ben won't stay in Detroit to play in the summer.

At that time, the Pistons may also follow in the footsteps of the Kings, and if they want to form a championship-winning lineup, it will be extremely difficult.

It is for this reason that since the loss in the preseason, the Bulls have become the Pistons' number one enemy.

In tonight's big battle, the Pistons also played harder, and as soon as they came up, they made a four-pinch of eyes on Doon.

The Pistons continued to use Prince to entangle Doon on the outside, draining Doon's stamina.

Even if it is now under the No Handcheck rule, Prince has no way to get started with Doon, and it is easy for Doon to change direction by just his footsteps.

However, once Doon is inside the three-point line, Billups or Hamilton will cooperate with Big Ben to encircle Doon near the elbow area.

Doon didn't think it was obvious at first, and when he got to the elbow area, he passed to Tyson Chandler or Josh Smith, who were free, and let them cut directly to the basket.

Because of the one-on-two under the basket, even if Roaring Tianzun had been prepared, there was still no way to defend one-two, so the Bulls took the lead in the first quarter.

However, tonight's Pistons are playing Yangmou, and they don't care about the gains and losses in the first half, so they have to fight with the Bulls in the second half for physical strength and will.

Everybody's fighting back-to-back!

The most serious problem with the back-to-back schedule is that the first half is fierce, the second half is exhausted, the offensive state is abruptly stopped, and then the opponent counterattacks.

The Pistons know that the Bulls had a big game with the Celtics last night.

And the prepared Pistons, who played the Knicks who had already opened yesterday, clocked in the third quarter of the main team.

Although Anthony suddenly exploded in the fourth quarter, startling the Pistons players.

However, the Knicks seemed intent on strengthening the roster with the draft, and Anthony was abruptly removed in the final three minutes.

Because of this, the Pistons still won the game without danger.

And the main players left the game early to rest, which also freed up some physical strength for tonight.

In order to beat the Bulls, the Pistons can be prepared early.

In order to break the team history record of 18 consecutive wins, the Bulls must go all out in every game unless the opponent falls early, and fight to the end.

The Bulls' previous 13 consecutive wins, the main way to open up the difference was not positional warfare, but by switching offense.

The difference opened in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, he continued to rush violently, trying to run the Pistons to death with a fast break in one breath.

As a result, both sides were tired, and the Bulls were a little lax because they had a big lead.

43-57, before the start of the third quarter, the Bulls obviously had a 14-point lead, but the Pistons continued to work the defensive end in the third quarter.

The Bulls' hand is getting worse and worse, and the transition offense is also due to physical problems, and the probability of hitting is not so high.

Doon's side continued to be heavily defended and could only lead the team by attracting defensive passes.

Under the aggressive defense of the Pistons, the Bulls players were somewhat discouraged, and the Pistons' counterattack followed.

"Pass me the ball and I'll take care of the game."

Doon saw that something was wrong and had to step up and get the ball.

However, when Doon ran low post to catch the ball and single, the Pistons directly sacrificed Jordan's rule.

Doon is surrounded by people in front of and behind him, and he doesn't let the ball go around the front, and he restricts Doon's movement space around the back.

Doon tries to run without the ball and shoot straight at the ball like Jordan did.

But the Pistons players all huddled under the basket, compressing the space for Doane to run and the space to get the ball and kill the basket.

In fact, the Pistons are betting that tonight's Bulls are not in good shape because of back-to-back schedules, and they don't have the ability to shoot and score in a row.

It has to be said that as an old-school coach, Larry Brown has a lot of coaching experience.

The Bulls players really couldn't find any offensive state in the third quarter, even Doon, under heavy defense, only shot 3 of 9, 2 of 2 free throws, and had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter.

Fortunately, although the Bulls players are a little slack, they are still working the defensive end after feeling the crisis.

And the Pistons are also back-to-back, the Pistons players are not superhuman, they did not play doping before the game, and there was no sudden explosion in the second half.

Therefore, the offensive efficiency of the Pistons has inevitably declined.

No one expected that in tonight's game, the first half was a one-sided display of player talent and offensive weapons.

The second half became a defensive battle, and apart from the fact that the defensive scale was a little smaller than in the playoffs, there was not much difference in the rest.

'We still have the advantage, we're still in the lead, I'm still able to play, it's our home and we're going to win everything.'

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Doon, as the boss of the team, could only lead by example and stand up to boost morale.

However, at this time, the Bulls only had a 4-point lead, and at this time, Doane did not have much bottom in his heart, and he didn't know if the Bulls could continue to maintain their winning streak after tonight.

"We will assist you, you are our pride, you are our MVP!"

Kukocz spoke suddenly.

As a veteran who is retiring soon, Kukoc can't help Doane much on the court.

But as one of the cores of the last three, Kukocz knew how to grit his teeth in the toughest moments, hold on silently, and then hold the clouds open to see the moon and win the final victory.

Jordan didn't have the fourth quarter of every big game to save the team.

However, as long as Jordan stands in front of everyone, he can lead the players to overcome difficulties again and again.

Even if he was temporarily defeated by some opponents, Jordan was able to get back on his feet, and the players believed that Jordan could bring them more victories and accolades.

Today's Doon does not lack strength, the ability to lead the team, and the leadership, but he still lacks a trace of perseverance and resolute leadership temperament.

This kind of temperament needs the accumulation of more championships or gold medal halos, otherwise you can only rely on losing more games, then winning, and creating miracles again and again.

Today, Doon is only in his third year and is still a young leader......
