Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If before the start of the playoffs, someone said that the defending champion Pistons would be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, everyone would probably think is this person crazy?

    Are the Pistons just an ordinary defending champion?

    They are super powerful who broke the Bulls' 72-win record!

    They averaged 105.99 points per game in the regular season and only allowed 88.1 points to their opponents. They ranked first in the league in terms of offensive and defensive efficiency. How could they fall in the first round of the playoffs?

    But when Hamilton suddenly retired from injury and Ben was expelled from the game, the defending champion's originally good situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Both the coach and the players on the Magic team couldn't help but have a strong desire to win We seemed to have hope."  "Black Eight Miracle"?

    ¡­¡­

    The timeout ends and the game continues.

    When Wang Dalin, Boozer, Okur, McGinnis and Barry reappeared, earth-shattering boos erupted in the "Palace Arena of Auburn Hills".

    The Pistons suddenly lost their two absolute main players, Ben and Hamilton. The home fans in the "Waterhouse Center Stadium" probably also saw the hope of winning, so they desperately cheered and booed the visiting team, hoping that they could win.  Put more pressure on Pistons players.

    Although the Magic are also missing Garrity, Garrity was not a member of the starting lineup. The main players in the team such as Tracy McGrady, Gooden, Jirisek, Armstrong, and De Klerk were all present, so their  The combat effectiveness was not greatly affected.

    On the contrarythe Pistons have lost almost half of their country, and are now at their weakest this season. Even if Wang Dalin is still there, what kind of trouble can he make by himself?

    Wang Dalin is indeed very good, and he has even become a bit abnormal this season, but what can the Pistons do if he only relies on him?

    After allbasketball is played by five people!

    For example, McGrady scored 42 points in the first two games of this series, and he scored 46 points in g1 and g2 Isn't that fierce enough?  But the result is still a loss without any suspense?

    So when the game continues, as long as Wang Dalin appears in the frontcourt, there will always be two defensive players near him, who will double-team him at any time.

    Wang Dalin was naturally mentally prepared for this, so he did not panic, but began to catch the ball at the top of the three-point arc. He hoped to attract the Magic's defensive attention through his offensive threat, and then give  Teammates create offensive opportunities.

    However, the good balls he passed to his teammates always resulted in a strike The Pistons missed several consecutive attacks, and the Magic took the opportunity to go on a 10-0 spurt, scoring in less than 3 minutes.  Cha pulled into double digits.

    I have to say role players are role players!

    Most of the time, they can only provide ¡°icing on the cake¡± but cannot ¡°provide help in times of need.¡±

    If they can really step up and perform well every time the team is in crisis, how can they be just role players?

    For example, Derek Fisher, the so-called "Champion Jigsaw" of the Lakers back then, was the most impressive in his entire career was that 0.4-second buzzer-beater, but other than that time, what else do you remember about his performance?

    To be honesthe is just an ordinary starting point guard. Couldn't someone else do it better than him?

    Another example is Robert Horry, this top role player who has won 7 championships with the Rockets, Lakers and Spurs, can definitely be called the strongest role player in history.

    But just imagine, if the Lakers lost Kobe at that time, could everyone still count on Horry to help O'Neal turn the tide?

    In the regular season this season, McGinnis averaged 12.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, Boozer 10.1 points and 6.2 rebounds, Williams 9.6 points and 4.2 rebounds, Okur 6.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks The Pistons' role this season  The players are not weak.

    But these performances are mostly caused by the strong offensive influence of the stars on the court. If the team suddenly loses two All-Star players, especially the powerful scorer Hamilton who averaged more than 22 points per game, I think  It is obviously unrealistic to rely on role players to fill such a large gap on the offensive end.

    In a word When the team is going well, role players may play well, but when the team encounters difficulties, they often struggle extremely.

    What¡¯s more, Okur and Boozer are only first-year rookies. How can we expect them to perform well in their first playoff appearance?

    ¡°In a few years, maybe both of them can grow into first-class stars in the league, and even be selected for the All-Star team, but now they are still tooAfter a 180-degree change, they all said that the Pistons had a high chance of defeating the Magic in the fifth game.

    The American media is like thiswhen you have an advantage, they will praise you, but when you are at a disadvantage, they will immediately reduce you to worthlessness.

    Just like Nowitzki at the peak of his career, he won the regular season MVP with a huge advantage in the 2006-2007 season. However, when the Mavericks were "defeated" by the Warriors in the first round, people almost belittled everything.  All the words were used on him.

    If the "veteran driver" had not led the single-core team to win the championship in 2011, even if he scored 31,560 points in his career and ranked sixth on the all-time scoring list, I am afraid he would still be known as a "softie" for the rest of his life.

    The "Battle of the Kings" between the Pistons and the Magic was scheduled for April 30. When the Pistons players appeared one by one at the "Auburn Hills Palace Arena", the audience stood up and gave them the warmest applause.

    The suspended Ben could only sit on the bench and cheer for his teammates. His expression was a little lonely, obviously because he could not fight side by side with his teammates on the court.

    In his opinion, he is the oldest player on this team and should have assumed more important responsibilities, but now he can only watch his teammates fight on the court. This feeling is really terrible.

    Hamilton, who had not been seen for several days, also appeared at the scene. He was wearing a crisp gray suit, but he wore a protective boot on his left foot and was leaning on a cane.

    His left ankle is indeed a grade two sprain. The injury report given by the team doctor stated that he must rest for 2-4 weeks. In other words even in the best case scenario, Hamilton will not be available until at least mid-May.  He may return to the court, but if he is unlucky, he may not be able to return by the end of May.

    "Fourth brother, come on!"

    "Fourth brother, I know you can do it!"

    When the starting five of both sides were about to take the stage, Ben and Hamilton said to Wang Dalin respectively. Wang Dalin turned to them and smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, we will definitely win!"

    Seeing the smile on Wang Dalin¡¯s face, Ben and Hamilton couldn¡¯t help but feel relieved

    This is the Pistons this season!

    This is Wang Dalin this season!

    Maybe they are facing difficulties now, but this 73-win super team has regained their confidence through a victory Their morale is now strong!
