: 257. Pistons come on!

Although the process is not the same, the result is the same.
Liu Mang adopted the way Kidd had originally dealt with Billups in the Eastern Conference, stimulating Billups and himself to death, using his stronger scoring ability and the other party ’s protracted problems, trying hard to match Killing Billups in the first game, Billups collapsed, this year's Pistons system almost collapsed.
But I didn't expect that the opening was due to an accident that created a foul, which caused Billups' early mentality to explode.
Already Billups was very pressured to play the Hawks, but his face was not written.
The pressure before the game, in the face of Liu Mang ’s hard-to-find past, at the beginning of the game, he thought he was fouled by the referee because the star whistle was not blown ... All aspects are combined. Crash early!
Billups had just become the core this year. For the first time, he had little experience.
In the minds of most teams, the Hawks who scored the East Finals last season are no different from the Nets. At least Billups thinks so, so the pressure was originally great.
Was then ignited by Liu Mang's sentence "The weak are not eligible for free throws", and the explosion of mentality is a matter of reason.
Kidd was originally a monster in the East, and he averaged 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists per game. He also defended Billups with a shooting percentage of only 27%.
Liu Mang is not as exaggerated in his defensive dominance and rebounds as Kidd. Billups still has a 33% shooting percentage. In only 25 minutes and six offenses, he scored every quarter. At least 5 points were reached, scoring 23 points and 4 assists.
But Billups made 6 of 18 shots, plus four rare turnovers and six offenses, leaving the Pistons on both ends of the floor.
Mainly rebounds!
This is the key. Although Ben Wallace scored 7 points and 20 rebounds in this game, the Pistons only had 33 rebounds, and the Hawks got 49 rebounds!
Before the formation of the Double Wallace combination, despite the rebounding king, the rebounding was still bullying, the league countdown, the Eagles' frontcourt trio, and the rebound was robbed.
Liu Mang suppressed Billups. The inside guaranteed a rebound. When Jason Terry came to catch the ball and threw it, Liu Mang mainly passed the ball, and the Hawks started to widen the points.
In the end, the Hawks didn't have much effort. They beat the Pistons 91-77 away and easily won the playoffs. The Pistons collapsed from the beginning. The entire game was played by the Eagles.
Liu Mang had 16 free throws, of which 13 free throws were given by Kidd. 14 of the 16 free throws in the game, 8 shots scored 25 points! That is, basically Liu Mang scored all the points while Billups was on the court, in addition to 10 assists! Liu Mang got 25 points, 10 assists and 2 rebounds.
When Billups foul was replaced, Liu Mang chose to hold the ball in his hands and broke the ball when he faced Chuck Atkins who couldn't help himself.
Also used Billups as the core for the first time. The sensation caused by Liu Mang was more influential than the original Kidd abuse of Billups!
The main reason is that Kidd does n’t look too much offensive or defensive. The defense depends on pre-judgment, small moves, few fouls, and not much offensive ball possession. The main scoring method is to shoot around the pick-and-roll, not seeing in the game How did he treat his opponent when he came out, but the opponent was just hitting iron continuously.
And Liu Mang looks even more showy! There are all kinds of strange ideas on both ends of the attack and defense, the key is to be very ornamental! Really Sao! The fouls all changed and made various cries of teeth buying and falling, with anger in the ecstasy.
The most important thing is to make 5 of 8 shots and 2 of 1 three-pointers, and get 25 points by free throws!
During the regular season, some people said that Billups foul foul degree is not lost to Liu Mang, it is in the playoffs, people only know who is the king of fouls!
……
……
After the game, Liu Mang's feat of 25 points in 8 shots triggered a heated discussion. If not, the Lakers were upset at home. The Timberwolves slaughtered the Lakers 119 to 91 and took away the series home advantage. Attracted, Liu Mang is expected to cause a lot of war of words.
After playing the first game with the Pistons, Liu Mang resolutely chose to be temporarily low-key. In an interview, he said that he was lucky today. Billups only had a lot of goals that were not scored, and the team rebounded well. Give the opponent a second attack opportunity, more of his own second attack, etc., attribute credit to the team, and actively downplay the impact of this game.
The timing of pretending is not yet mature, Liu Mang chose to be a low-key person ...
The Hawks and the Timberwolves both went down and defeated the better team to get home advantage. All the first round of the playoffs were over.
Except that the Timberwolves are regarded as a big upset, the start of the other series is almost as expected.
The Lakers 'road to victory is overshadowed. Although most fans still feel that the Lakers can still beat the Timberwolves, they are not so optimistic about the Lakers' road to championship.
At the beginning of the playoffs, the Lakers who ranked only fifth in the west were ranked first in the probability of winning, out of respect for the defending champion. After the first game, the new ranking of winning probability is updated immediately. By the way, the Lakers fell from the first to the fifth, surpassed by the Nets, the Hawks are still ranked sixth, thunder can not move.
……
In the first battle, the Hawks thought that the Pistons fans would be furious after losing the ball, doing something outrageous. For example, in the 1980s, they lost to the Bulls and they were blocked at the entrance of the parking lot. The police did n’t leave when they came, stunned to drag the Bull players for an hour or two. That year was not as much as the interviews and activities, and the physical therapy after the game was not so professional, usually at 8 or 9 After the game, take a shower and massage, you can leave at around ten o'clock, but the Pistons fans stunned until the early morning before the Bulls left. Sometimes they won, and they had to run to block it. Anyway, they gave it to the visiting team. Tim blocked.
The Pistons were hated, not only the bad boy army, but their fans are also like bandits. Some teams are like this. In addition to strength, there are many factors outside the field.
But this time the Pistons fans were unexpectedly calm.
Mainly loses his temper!
Although the Pistons still have some old fans with no lower limit, they are all in the 21st century. The fans have been renewed for a long time. Although they still have the iron blood of the Iron City, they are far from the kind of cruelty that year, and there are still This is the second year that he was beaten by the Hawks at home.
Before the start of the first game, the Pistons fans were still confident, expecting the team to withstand the pressure and defeat the Hawks at home. In order to increase the morale of the team, the Pistons fans were very enthusiastic and energetic before the game.
But at the beginning of the game, the Pistons were blood abused by the Hawks. Billups flew in Liu Mang. Billups was beaten down. The Pistons can only return to last year. Atkins and Clifford- Robinson organized an offensive style of play. The Eagles had seen this style last year. It was not awesome. The regular season was okay. In the playoffs, the Pistons fans were really desperate.
The Pistons fans who had supported the team with tremendous enthusiasm now have no temper to add trouble to the Hawks.
However, after returning to the hotel, the Hawks continued to ban their feet. On the rest day of the next day, the players still had to travel to and from the hotel and training hall.
Although after the first game, the Pistons fans seem to have squashed, there is no desire to play against the Hawks, but the Hawks do n’t dare to care.
……
……
The playoffs did not stop because of the eighth place of the Hawks, the three-time defending champion Lakers were beaten by the Timberwolves 28 points. These two amazing performances stopped and continued in full swing.
On the third game day of the playoffs, the Spurs and Rockets ushered in the second game.
Spurs rocket game still need to watch? With Duncan there, and the Spurs home, how could there be an accident? Waking up is another big victory ... the accident really happened!
Francis and old cat Mobley both ran away, Francis scored 35 points, old cat Mobley scored 29 points, the two scored 64 points together, and the small sports car and the very tender boxer hit the explosion!
Although Bowen was present, both Francis and Mobley broke out. Although Duncan still steadily scored 27 points and 15 rebounds, it was caused by James Posey, the Rockets ’strongest defensive fighter. Stephen Jackson's offensive foul, the Rockets beat the Spurs by 96 to 95, and tied the big score 1-1.
In the interview between the Rockets and the Spurs after the game, Duncan seemed to have nothing happened, and his face was expressionless. Popovich praised the Rockets to death, especially praised Yao Ming, probably meaning Yao Ming It is the key for the Rockets to win. However, rookie Yao Ming met Duncan in the playoffs. In addition to averaging 3 blocks in both games, it was okay. The two games added up to 15 points, and this game only had 6 points 7 boards and 3 blocks, was completely destroyed by Duncan ...
Following the Pacers' home game against the Bucks, they struggled to defend a home game 99-95.
On the second match day, there were only three games. In the final game, the Mavericks experienced another defensive battle, and finally won the Blazers again with a 93-89 home advantage.
If Nash scored 28 points from 71.4 percent of 10 of 14 shots, plus eight assists with only one turnover, the Mavericks' home advantage would have to be accounted for.
……
Quickly arrived on April 24th, the game day of the Eagles' second game arrived, there are five games today, the Eagles once again challenged the Pistons at Auburn Hills Palace at 8pm.
Lost in the first game, the Pistons do n’t believe that they can win the Hawks, they are not confident. They are not the iron division under the future of Larry Brown.

Clifford Robinson hasn't left the Pistons, and it's similar to the future Rashid Wallace's defensive end. Rashid Wallace's offensive end score and defensive rebounds are better. Rashid Wallace probably There are 14 + 8 or 15 + 7 performances, but Clifford Robinson has about 4 assists per game.
Billups and Hamilton, Ben Wallace's core structure of organization, scoring, and defense has been aligned. Although there is no Prince, the skeleton of the Pistons' blood is almost the same.
But there is a skeleton, but there is no iron-blooded soul brought by Larry Brown!
Was swept in the second round last year and was down in the first game this year. The Pistons played in the second game very dazed. They were still fighting and would not give up, but they had no confidence at all. They did n’t know how to win because There is no way!
After Billups came, coach Carlisle could not control this team, and the players did not believe that their defense could beat the Hawks. Without that spirit, they were not confident of their strongest abilities. The result was obvious. The Pistons collapsed after supporting half this time.
At 16 + 5 + 7, Liu Mang still performed well in this game. Billups continued to be defended, and scored 15 points on 6 of 21 shots. He continued to pay the first tuition as the core, just paid. "Teacher" changed from Kidd to Liu Mang.
Coupled with Rahim and Muhammad, Ratliff, Boozer combined to get 40 rebounds, four people more than the Pistons team 3 rebounds, Ben Wallace continued to get 17 rebounds The ball, but unable to compete with the Hawks so many rebounders.
96 to 79, the Eagles easily won two straight games away!
As the saying goes, the rebounders have the world, and the Hawks rely on the dominance of rebounds. In the first two games of the series without home advantage, the counterattack won two consecutive victories, 2 to 0, ranking first in the east. Eight's identity led the Pistons with a big score.
The Nets, 76ers and Hornets saw that the Pistons could n’t even struggle, and they were so disappointed with the Pistons!
Is not only the players of the three teams, but also the online spat against the Pistons.
An IP is a New Jersey fan who posted on the NBA official forum to say: "Anyway, cause a little trouble for the Eagles! Anyway, you are the first in the East! Why is it so useless!"
"The landlord is right! Anyway, it is the first in the east, how can it be so miserable by the eighth." The IP on the second floor comes from North Carolina. Although the Hornets moved out of Charlotte, the fans here are still concerned. Wasp.
"The Pistons' number one is too good, completely because the Hawks ranked eighth, the Nets and the Pacers gave it up." The IP on the third floor comes from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which declares independence.
"......"
"......"
……
The fans of the three teams hold the Tucao Pistons.
After the Pistons fell behind 2-2, the Pistons fans did not dare to speak on the Internet. All the news and everything were one-sided and eagle-oriented. All were unfavorable news for the Pistons. The steel workers had no face to post and could only dive silently.
However, after seeing the fans of the three teams of cynicism, finally the Pistons fans couldn't help it.
"We have tried our best, our players have worked hard, or will you try the next round?" On the 128th floor, an IP from Detroit finally came out.
Grief and indignation mixed with helplessness, this sentence shows the mood of the Pistons fans.
Seeing this reply, the fans of the three teams do not know what to answer.
Then ...
Someone Ait, the Pistons fan, is an IP from Los Angeles.
"Pistons come on! We support you!"
Someone took the lead and the style of the post changed abruptly.
"Piston refueling ..."
"Support Piston ..."
"Kill the Eagles ..."
"......"
……
On April 25, after playing two away games, the Hawks slept after the second game, and returned to Atlanta by plane at 11:30.
Two away victories, don't be too happy for the Hawks!
The perfect start of the playoffs allowed the Hawks to finally relax.
At this time something happened that made the Hawks inexplicable.
Since the Hawks finished the game yesterday at 10:30, it was a little bit close to returning to the hotel. Most people just woke up at 9 o'clock this morning. After getting up and packing up, they rushed to the airport to take a charter flight back to Atlanta. News and follow the network.
After returning to Atlanta, the Hawks players saw an inexplicable news.
Basketball fans all over the United States have a common slogan: "Pistons cheer."
Of course, most people are ridiculed. In this era of increasing popularity of the Internet, the most developed country in the United States has the first social change in the Internet to guide public opinion. At first, it was initiated by a fan in Los Angeles, and then countless people It started to follow suit, and finally became popular all over the US, and extended to physical media!
Liu Mang saw that the slogan was on the headlines of the newspapers, and even the Atlanta Times followed the funny news headlines of the Pistons. He did n’t worry much about the Pistons ’efforts to support the
national fans
. If he encountered In this case, in the case of being 0 to 2 at home, hearing the sympathy of the fans of the United States, it is impossible to find it, and it may be deeper to find a hole in the hole ...
……
Fans' "support", not only did not make the Pistons feel good, but also less confident, people began to sympathize with them.
On April 27, after a two-day break, the Hawks ushered in the third game of the series.
Billups lost his starting position in this game. He played so badly in the first two games and was put on the bench by Coach Carlisle. However, the bench did not play much better. He played 11 shots in 18 minutes. He scored 7 points on 3 of 11 shots, and the Pistons returned to play last season, still losing to the Hawks.
103 to 92, the Hawks went to three cities in a row, leading the score 3-0!
The three Kitty Hawks scored 70 points together, Liu Mang scored 22 points and 8 assists, Jason Terry came off the bench with 31 points and 5 assists, Rahim ’s stable 17 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists led the team to a big game. Win!
Back at home, the Hawks scored a hundred. After the Pistons Billups and Ben Wallace played separately, the control of the field was not so strong, the rhythm was not so slow, and the Pistons played well. , But the Hawks benefited more, played better offense, and easily won the third victory.
The Pistons players have lost their collective mentality now and are desperate.
The example of a 0 to 3 turnover never appeared, and the Hawks are still at home. The Pistons can't see any hope at all, and even seem to see themselves being hung on the same shame list as the Supersonics and Knicks ... …
……
……
After the game, the preparation time before the press conference, coach Kruger is looking at the interview prepared by the team after winning. A reporter who will discuss with the team after winning the game will ask questions, that is, The legendary "Tuo".
"Mike, Hornets and 76ers, who do you think will be our opponent in the next round?" Coach Kruger asked.
"It's not easy to say, they have similar records in the regular season, and they have each defended their own home. I think they may hit the tie-break." Mike Woodson conservatively said one of the safest guesses.
Who says all Americans are straight? Mike Woodson also worried that he was more optimistic about the 76ers with a former MVP promotion, but in case he said he was optimistic about the 76ers promotion, then coach Kruger chose to believe his judgment and started preparing for the 76ers. Finally The Hornets are promoted, and he must memorize the time-wasting pot.
Coach Kruger didn't care too much about this, he just asked.
"It's not good to advance too early. The opponents in the next round don't know who they are, and the preparations are not ready." Coach Kruger couldn't help but pretend to be forced when there were no outsiders.
After taking a 3-0 lead, the Hawks felt that it was a matter of time before they were promoted, and they were indeed considering who their opponents will be in the next round, but they will definitely not say it clearly, even if it is against their own players. Coach Kruger didn't show much joy, but let his players don't get overwhelmed, don't make trouble for themselves, and eliminate opponents early to prepare for the next round of competition.
Although it is very difficult to pretend not to know who the next opponent is, but if you can sweep the opponent, who is willing to hit the tie-break? Ending the series one game early is an advantage for any team.
Just when Coach Kruger couldn't help but pretend to be a force, the knock on the door rang.
"Please come in." Coach Kruger withdrew a somewhat smirk expression when he confronted Mike Woodson.
Door was pushed open, is the current team vice president of logistics Moron Willie.
Seeing Moron Willie hurried in, Coach Kruger felt a sigh, a bad hunch came.
Coach Kruger suppressed the inexplicable amount of uneasiness ~ EbookFREE.me ~ asked: "What's wrong, Moron? So anxious?"
Moron-Willie said strangely: "Lang, Ace went to the interview ahead of time!"
"What happened to Ace? Clash with the reporter or the fight with the Pistons players?" Coach Kruger asked anxiously, his inner uneasiness deepening.
Moron Willy found that coach Kruger seemed to have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, no, not that serious, no fights, no conflicts, nor a big deal ..."
Not a big deal? Coach Kruger wonders what does Moron Willy's expression like eating Cheung just mean?
Perceived his gaffe, coach Kruger calmed down and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's not a very big thing. In an interview just now, Ace said that he was already considering his opponent in the second round. Let the media tell the 76ers to play faster with the Hornets. Let him wait too long ... "
Actually ... Liu Mang did not deliberately go ahead for the interview in advance, but just waited anxiously, and wanted to meet the trigger conditions of the task quickly, so he waited outside the interview hall of Phillips Arena and came out after being interviewed by the Pistons. The first report of the first interview was reported to reporters from the news agency or TV station, so they were interviewed in advance.
Coach Kruger looked at the ceiling silently, pretending to be thundered! I just secretly pretended to be a force. The kid went directly to the media to pretend to be a force. Is this a retribution?
Is it easy to sweep the other party easily? You have to stimulate each other!
