959. A different Pistons team(1/2)
"The change of head coach, the excellent record in the regular season, and the improvement of the players' own strength have brought great confidence to the Detroit Pistons players, trying to resist the host's oppression for many years, Avengers Series Mission: The Oppressed Ace
Triggered by Detroiters’ struggle.”
"The resistance of the oppressed Estrulites: The players of the Detroit Pistons carry out the belief of defeating the host in this round of the series. The mission goal: The host needs to defeat the Detroit Pistons within six games to win the series. Mission
Reward: Random Detroit Pistons star card for the 2004-05 season. Failure penalty: Randomly deduct an existing star card."
The Pistons have been pushed to the bed, and they still want to struggle?
Liu Mang took a look at the opponent's strength.
"Chauncy Billups, 28 years old, ability evaluation 91 (peak), 87 offense, 93 defense, 89 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 83 layups, 89 speed, 88 strength...averaged 16.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game
8.1 assists, 41.8% field goal percentage, 2.1 three-pointers per game, 42.6% field goal percentage..."
Liu Mang was speechless when he saw the evaluation of Billups' abilities. It was so weird!
The three-point shooting percentage is higher than the field goal percentage! Layups are actually the worst.
Billups is also 28 years old...Liu Mang had never noticed before. During the regular season, he played against the Pistons, and the opponent did not make any substantial counterattack. Liu Mang did not notice Billups's three moves.
The points are already at the same level as Jason Terry. The key is that Billups is as good at shooting as Jason Terry. With this style of play, he still makes 42.6% of his three-pointers.
The rate is quite astonishing.
"Richard Hamilton, 27 years old, ability evaluation 86, offense 90, defense 81, 68 three-pointers, 95 mid-range shots, 91 layups, 90 speed, 77 strength, 100 endurance...averaged 20.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
, shooting 49.1% from the field, averaging 0.5 three-pointers per game, and shooting 30.3% from the field..."
A mid-range shooting of 95... Liu Mang is so envious. He is indeed the best mid-range shooter in the league after Nowitzki. Three-pointers account for less than 10%... His mid-range shooting ability is not the best in the league or even the best.
Second, Kobe's mid-range shooting ability is stronger, but Hamilton can make better use of open shots and achieve the same level as Nowitzki's shooting based on height and position.
"Carlos Delfino, 24 years old, ability evaluation 73, offense 69, defense 80, 79 three-pointers, 65 mid-range shots, 83 layups..."
Prince's super poor man's alternative.
"Chris Bosh, 21 years old, ability evaluation 88, 91 offense, 79 defense, 79 three-pointers, 86 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 83 speed, 87 strength, 86 rebounds,... averaged 19.6 points, 8 rebounds and 1.9 per game.
Assists, field goal percentage of 51%, three-point shooting percentage of 33%..."
"Ben Wallace, 30 years old, ability evaluation 84 (peak), 59 offense, 99 defense, 40 three-pointers, 40 mid-range shots, 80 layups, 82 speed, 99 strength, 99 rebounds..."
This insider combination... is curious. It is the most bizarre inside combination Liu Mang has ever seen. Two completely different types of players come together, and the effect is really good. One is responsible for offense and the other is responsible for defense.
The first five of the 03 generation are very addictive.
Ben Wallace is not regarded as a first-rate star by the system, mainly because of this offense, which is too eye-catching! Except for catch-and-dunk and second-attack tip-in, which are a bit of a threat to the basket, other offensive methods are basically zero.
Being able to win 63 games, which ranks third in the regular season record, is really a no-brainer!
The Pistons averaged 101 points per game this season, ranking seventh in the league, and allowed 93 points per game, ranking sixth in the league. They are both excellent, and coach Flip Saunders deserves a lot of credit.
Liu Mang became even more excited after reading the ability evaluations of the Pistons' top five players.
Playing against such an opponent makes you more motivated! The Heat were defeated by the Bulls, and the Bulls couldn't resist at all. Liu Mang felt very sorry. Fortunately, there are Pistons now, so this year's journey to the Eastern Conference playoffs will not be lonely.
Waiting for the Heat's magic tricks to bring the Heat into its peak period, the Pistons are Liu Mang's biggest fun in the Eastern Conference!
…
The Phillips Arena was very lively today. Dominique Wilkins and DiBekan Mutombo, two famous players, and former Eagles players who had nothing to do after playing in the Rockets playoffs came to the scene to watch.
The ball earned a lot of cheers.
The fact that Mutombo came to watch the game was known to the fans as early as noon on the news. Mutombo took a photo with the Eagles players before the Eagles training in the morning. It made the news and was also reported to Liu Mang.
When they accepted an exclusive interview with Chaotingdai, they were invited by Xu Jicheng of Xinhua News Agency to participate in the interview.
There were many fans at the scene holding signs with words such as "Go home, Dibeken" and "Come back, African mountains".
Mutombo spent his best years with the Hawks and was quite popular in Atlanta.
At 7:40, the players from both teams entered the stadium. After waiting for another five or six days, the Eagles fans could not wait to watch the game. The atmosphere was very enthusiastic.
Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown, Jason Terry, and Mourning came to the technical stage to greet Billups, Ben Wallace, Hamilton, and Bosh.
Prince was so unsociable and went to study the opening dance moves by himself. The little prince was quite aloof.
We simply said hello and chatted for a while, asking each other what they had for dinner. The sun was relatively high in Atlanta these two days and there were some topics such as heart stroke, so we left to prepare for the game.
The main players of the Hawks felt the confidence of the Pistons after reaching the Eastern Conference Finals this year, and their vigilance and enthusiasm were greatly improved. Especially Tracy McGrady and Mourning, who had never defeated the Pistons, were very confident from the beginning.
The Pistons are considered a strong rival.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They don’t understand why their teammates are so proud when they encounter a 63-win team, so they start from playing the Bulls.
Just prepare for the game with all your heart.
…
The seats of the TV station in Phillips Arena are next to the commentary seats of ESPN and Time Warner's court. After the players of the two teams entered the stadium, the live broadcast began.
"Chaoting TV, Chaoting TV, welcome everyone to watch the first game of the NBA Eastern Conference finals between the Atlanta Hawks and the Detroit Pistons brought to you by the Sports Channel of Chaoting TV. I am the commentator Yu Jia, and the guest we have today is
It’s Director Zhang Weiping and Director Xu Jicheng. In today’s game, these two teachers will help us analyze what the highlights are and what Ace needs to pay attention to in this game.”
"Then let me go first," Xu Jicheng's Qingdao Mandarin was very standard, "The Pistons can be said to be Ace's old rivals. They have met in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. Compared with Ace in the playoffs,
We have met the Nets more times, and it seems now that the Pistons have a very good lineup, with a complete structure of three generations of old, middle and young players. They may be one of Ace's main opponents in the East in the future, and I think the Pistons are better than
The Nets were stronger, but at that time neither Ace nor the Hawks were as strong as they had been in the past two years, so they were blocked from the Finals for two consecutive years by the Nets. The Hawks cannot underestimate the Pistons. This is very important.
Importantly, in terms of strength, I think the Hawks are better than the Pistons."
"What Lao Xu said makes sense," Zhang's director Naikou Jingzi took over, "The only two teams in the East that can pose a threat to Ace are the Heat and the Pistons. What Ace should pay attention to is
Don't be careless. I think it's not a big problem for the Hawks to reach the finals. The main thing is not to be careless! The Pistons are definitely better than the playoff opponents the Hawks have encountered in the past two years. The main thing is not to be careless!"
"The two teachers' analysis is very reasonable." Yu Jia didn't care about anything else, but flattering was more important. "Oh, the game is about to start. Let's switch the screen to the game..."
…
…
After the two basketball veterans on the court boasted about the Eagles' strength, the screen on the court switched from the commentary booth to Prince dancing square dance on the sidelines, and the lights dimmed.
The picture switched from Prince dancing on the sidelines to the big screen. Rasheed Wallace's rough face appeared in the picture, and a passionate roar reached the ears of the audience in front of the TV.
After the lights came on, the scene quickly switched to the sidelines. Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, and then the scene switched to the fanatical fans at the scene.
This operation of directing is very tiring, and there can be no mistakes in half a second. Fans love to watch this.
Domestic fans couldn't help but cheer when they saw the scene of Liu Mang spreading fans after Rasheed Wallace roared.
Wang Zhizhi failed to make the playoffs, Yao Ming was eliminated in the first round, and only played one game in the second round. Fans mainly paid attention to the Hawks. The Suns were also very popular, but there was still no way to compare with the Hawks.
The entire Eastern Conference Finals was broadcast live on Imperial TV. Before the game even started, the real-time ratings exceeded 3! There are also many middle-aged women who like to watch the opening of the Eagles game. They get up early in the morning to watch the live broadcast just to see Prince’s new dance moves.
Get firsthand dance moves to show off at night...
…
"Ding...the Eagles' devilish home game triggered, the morale of the opponent team dropped, from Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."
"Ding... the talent skill Big Ben Domain is triggered at level 5, and the Pistons players offset the away pressure, from Ben Wallace."
As Liu Mang expected, Ben Wallace is the soul of Detroit. The Pistons have regained some confidence and now have much less psychological pressure.
After Liu Mang finished spreading the magnesium powder, he and Tracy McGrady came to the court together. The game was about to start.
Bosh and Kwame Brown came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.
Bosh is one of the players with the best offensive talent among the new generation of post players, and Kwame Brown is one of the players with the best defensive talent among the new generation of post players. One offense and one defense, the two will always play against each other.
Constantly competing.
The two are the same height, 2.11 meters. Bosh is more flexible and weaker. Kwame Brown weighs more than ten kilograms, but is faster and stronger. Their jumping is about the same.
They are all men with top physical fitness.
The referee came to the center circle, pointed to the positions on both sides, and after a few seconds, counted the time at exactly eight o'clock, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.
Bosh and Kwame Brown exploded at the same time when the ball reached the sky!
Bosh touched the ball first, but Kwame Brown touched the ball immediately after Bosh touched the ball and swatted the ball away from Bosh!
"oh……"
The scene was filled with exclamations, was the jump ball so violent? The ball was slapped toward the rear right corner by Kwame Brown.
"Depend on!"
Liu Mang ran a long way before catching the ball on the right sideline. He jumped up to catch the ball and threw it in the direction of McGrady. McGrady received the ball and controlled it, then advanced to the frontcourt and waited for Liu Mang to run over.
.
When Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, the Pistons defense was already in position.
Hamilton followed Liu Mang to prevent Liu Mang from moving.
McGrady saw that Billups was guarding him and Hamilton was guarding Liu Mang. He immediately decided not to use tactics and made a gesture to Liu Mang to top the arc, and then passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang came to the top arc to receive the ball. Hamilton saw Liu Mang receiving the ball and was ready to guard against Liu Mang's explosive breakthrough. They watched the video of the Eagles' first game against the Bulls and saw Liu Mang's super performance.
