Chapter 861: Refuse to sweep

Two days later, the Pistons defeated the Nets by a big score and continued their winning streak. At the same time, Mo Mengchen scored another 35 points, bringing the individual's record of 30+ in a single game to ten, which is only four from Hill's record.
Such a performance can be described as exciting, but the response caused is not enthusiastic, because in the west, some people are doing similar, but more difficult and more impactful things.
Not only the media, but Mo Mengchen also devoted part of his energy to paying attention.
This person is Kobe.
If you look closely, you can see that his figure has become stronger than the beginning of the season, just like a guard version of Malone. The whole person is like a gas-filled muscle superman.
When O'Neill claimed to be the only core of the team while recovering from injury. Kobe gave his horror response, and the degree of horror is estimated to be comparable to that of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.
Mo Mengchen scored 30+ points in ten consecutive games and has attracted widespread attention, while Kobe played nine consecutive 40+ performances during O'Neal's absence due to injury.
These nine 40+ performances are also mixed with two 50+ games. Kobe finally completed the transformation from superstar to super giant.
Because before this, no one has made a similar performance for a long time. The closest is Hill in the lockout season. He has scored 40+ points in three consecutive games, but this is only one-third of Kobe. Kobe is the first scorer in many years to compete against Chamberlain Jordan.
Kobe Bryant's 9 consecutive 40+ games are a fuse. Directly broke the original balance of the team. When O'Neill returned to his team from injury, he felt that the Lakers were no longer his team. O'Neill didn't expect such a fast day.
Kobe's rise and eruption, just right in a very appropriate period of time.
O'Neill lost his ambitions. During the healing period, he not only did not actively do rehabilitation training, nor did he follow the doctor's instructions.
At this time, O'Neill's figure has been judged to be two of the same as the previous two years. He is fat enough to go to Japan as a sumo wrestler. This is no longer an athlete's figure, but more like a drugless fat man who sits in front of TV and eats junk food all day.
The outside world advocates that Kobe is the new owner of Angel City, and Mo Mengchen is also worried.
Will the power battle of OK finally come to an end with Kobe's successful power grab?
This is not impossible. O'Neal's current state is not a state of a championship team at all. Kobe, the style is cool, the youth is not negative news, as the new generation star is the most like Jordan player, the league is willing to hold he.
The Pistons’ of the East is a foregone conclusion. The league needs a team to compete with the Pistons like Hu Kai in the 1980s.
As a giant, the Lakers have decisively played against the Pistons in the finals in the past two seasons. Although they lost, they proved that they really have the strength to fight against the Pistons.
If Kobe succeeds in seizing power and OK's contradiction can be alleviated, then the situation in the west is even more confusing.
Mo Mengchen has been completely unable to make a correct prediction.
The Lakers seem the least hopeful. Kobe's timely outburst will allow them to return to the first group in the West; the Kings are indeed very powerful and have potential, but their running is only a replica of the Pistons. Change, can’t rush out of the west; the Blazers’ strength is a mystery, and their lineup is the deepest in the west, but Weber is not a leader in a word, he can’t help the people in the team, and he can maintain a respectful relationship with them. Unexpected performance, plus, in the playoffs, his strength has to be discounted; if the Spurs, Kidd is not enough offensive, Gasol early in his career is the famous playoff soft foot shrimp, Arenas is currently only the field Rookie with an average of 10 points.
The four teams most likely to reach the finals in the West, Mo Mengchen knows.
Even if they don’t know who can stand out from the west and cannot make accurate predictions, it is difficult to make targeted preparations before the finals.
Maybe they won’t know who is the better team until the playoffs begin.
The team that ended the Pistons' winning streak was 76ers.
After the penny season was reimbursed, the Knicks announced that the Sixers had become the biggest obstacle for the Pistons to break out of the East.
Since the start of the season, the two teams are diametrically opposed.
Last season, taking advantage of Duncan's new arrival, Iverson reached its peak. Larry Brown focused on internal and external dual-core, dragging the Pistons to the tie-break, but suffered a defeat in the tie-break.
After the start of the new season, Brown made it clear that Duncan is the main team and Iverson is the team building policy. This move caused Iverson's great dissatisfaction.
Although Iverson produced negative emotions, the 76ers' performance was generally improved, and Duncan also played a good performance, averaging 23+13+4, the standard inside cornerstone.
Duncan shines, and Iverson is not willing to be the second child, but when he decides to work hard, the injury finds him.
Iverson suffered a serious hip injury and was in a bad state. He stopped, and if the Duncan didn't support the team, the 76ers would not even make it to the playoffs.
The injured Iverson is still in love with the boss. That thing that belonged to him is now taken away by the outsider Duncan. He has no opinion about Duncan, but he is full of opinions about Larry Brown who made the decision. full.
Iverson, who was elected to the All-Star MVP last season, also shouted when he won: "Where is my coach? Where are you coaching?" Now he calls Brown a traitor, villain, and sinister old fox with two sides and three swords.
The contradictions within the 76ers revolved around Iverson and Brown. Although Duncan was the nominal boss, he was only responsible for the game and never participated in the fight.
The game against the Pistons fully demonstrated how much hatred the league teams have for the defending champions.
In order to defeat the Pistons, Iverson not only chose to play with injuries, but also obeyed Brown's words, and Duncanli should be outside, and happened to encounter the piston's Princeton mistakes.
Under a series of common or uncommon factors, the 76ers defeated the Pistons at the Empire Axis Arena and ended their winning streak.
Duncan scored 32 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks. Iverson played a perfect two-headed performance. The offense struggled under the Pistons' defense, but scored 15 points and 16 assists through sudden points. Of these 16 assists, only 3 turnovers~EbookFREE.me~ It was these 16 penetrating passes that made the Pistons swallow the defeat at home.
"We were lucky tonight," Duncan showed modestly in an interview after the game. "The Pistons who made 24 turnovers are not common. They lost to themselves. We just did what we should do."
In fact, the Pistons have averaged 21 turnovers per game this season, ranking first in the league and 4 more than the second Lakers.
Iverson is not as good as Duncan. He first showed that he was injured, meaning that he is not in the best shape tonight. "Even with the injury, I can help the team and there is a game. Our The goal is to sweep the Pistons in the regular season!"
Iverson's arrogance caused a collective resentment in the Auto City media. The next day, the media on the Pistons side launched bombardments on them.
On the contrary, the Pistons who were challenged by their opponents at their door did not show anything.
It seemed no big deal to them to lose this game. The only response came from Westphal. He responded: "AI has always been a player full of fighting spirit. I appreciate it, but I can only congratulate them now. A good game, then, see you in Philadelphia."
In early February, before the All-Star weekend, the Pistons had to play a game against the 76ers.
In the previous two encounters, the 76ers all won. In order to avoid being swept by the enemy in the same division, the Pistons hope that the 76ers will take a memorable victory for the opponent, just like the seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals last season.
Everyone thought it would be a game that was suppressed until the last second, and the Pistons ruled that night. Philadelphia fans were looking forward to a slaughter at home.
