The China Power of NBA

After the end of the 2001-2002 season, Jerry Stackhouse, who was the team leader and averaged 21.4 points per game, was traded to the Wizards, and the team's second piece of puzzle, Richard Hamilton, was exchanged from the Wizards. , In 2002, the homeless Chauncey Billups, who changed five teams in six years, joined the Pistons with a six-year, $6 million contract. This contract was hailed as one of the most valuable contracts in NBA history. , In the same year, the Pistons selected "Little Prince" Tyshawn Prince with the 3500rd pick in the draft. In the 23-2003 season, when the door of the trade deadline was about to close, the Pistons, Bucks, The Eagles and the Celtics completed a super deal involving seven players. All in all, the Pistons paid for four players (including Bob Sura, who is familiar to old Chinese fans) and two rounds. The show came in exchange for "Add Head" Mike James and "Roaring God" Rasheed Wallace. So far, the Pistons have completed the last trump card to reach the top.

In the 2003-2004 season, under the leadership of old coach Larry Brown, the Detroit Pistons achieved a record of 2003 wins and 04 losses in the regular season in the 54-28 season, and entered the playoffs as No.3 in the Eastern Conference.In the first round of the playoffs, they eliminated the Bucks 4-1; in the second round, they defeated the defending Eastern Conference champion Nets 4-3.In the Eastern Conference finals, they met the old rival Pacers, but they defeated the No. 4 team in the league in the regular season 2-14, won the Eastern Conference championship, and reached the finals again 4 years later.In the finals, facing the powerful "OK" combination of the Lakers, the Pistons finally broke almost everyone's predictions before the game. With a 1-14 disparity, they helped the Pistons regain the championship after [-] years and ended the Lakers. dream of a champion.

This was the most glorious and peak moment of the Pistons, but on November 2004, 11, all of this came to an abrupt end. That game was caused by a personal conflict between Ben Wallace and Ron Artest. , It eventually evolved into a full martial arts with all players from the two teams participating in the battle, and even a few fans were involved. This incident was called the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident", which brought a great black spot to the NBA. At the same time, it also incurred the largest fine in NBA history. Since then, the Pistons' record has declined year after year. From this season, the finals team that can wrestle with the Spurs fell to the Eastern Conference finals team. After the end of this season , Ben Wallace left the team, and the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals year after year, but it was still difficult to make further progress. As the main players such as Billups, Hamilton, and Rasheed Wallace grew older, the team slowly fell into a trap. reached a trough, and eventually became one of the few teams with the lowest record in the league.

The current Pistons have nothing to desire in terms of record, and they are trying their best to train two players in the game. One player is born in 1986 and is now 24 years old. The starting point guard of the team, Rodney- Stuckey, the 2007th pick in the first round of 15, the Pistons picked Stuckey. In the summer league that year, Stuckey's performance was amazing, averaging 32.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game The ball and 9.1 assists. On the offensive end, Stuckey mainly relies on breakthroughs, and is very good at shooting in weightlessness, but his ability to shoot in mid-to-long range is relatively poor. As the starting No. 21, his ball-handling ability is acceptable, but his passing ability In general, the assist-to-turnover ratio also needs to improve. In 18.1 games this season, Stuckey averaged 2.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 45.5 assists while shooting 29.3 percent from the field and 277 percent from three.The contract is in the last year of the rookie contract, worth $[-] million.

Another player in the Pistons plan is Greg Monroe, who was born in 1990 and is only 20 years old. He is 211 cm tall and weighs 114 kg. He selected Monroe with the No. 2010 overall pick, and started a long road to revival. On the offensive end, in addition to attacking within the three-second zone, Monroe's small hook on the right is also successful, and has been tried and tested in the game. In addition, there is no other effective means of independent attack. Occasionally has mid-range, but not stable enough. His physical fitness and post-up singles ability are at the middle and lower level among NBA insiders. He passes the ball very well and often makes subtle assists. , The ball-handling ability is at the top level in the inside of the NBA. He can break through with the ball and cause damage with fewer mistakes.

On the defensive end, the power forward defending the opponent is slow, and the center forward defending the opponent is not good enough. This caused Monroe to commit too many fouls, which affected Monroe's playing time and performance. Both were able to score 9.4 points and 7.5 rebounds. For Monroe, the Pistons did not hesitate to sign the 36-year-old Ben Wallace, a veteran of the team, with a two-year contract of 380 million US dollars to train newcomers.

But in the starting lineup of the year when the Pistons won the championship, Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement in the Celtics this year, and as early as 2008, the Pistons traded away the FMVP Chauncey Billups. The Nuggets traded Allen Iverson, one of the "golden guns" at the time, but unfortunately Iverson also wanted to give glory to the Motor City, but instead made the atmosphere of the Pistons extremely tense , In the end, after Iverson's contract ended, the Pistons did not hand over a new contract, and Iverson left Memphis.

Now, the players who are still in the Pistons are "Little Prince" Prince and Hamilton. Prince was only a second-year rookie when the Pistons won the championship, but he was unknown in the finals that year. Kobe's task, in this world, there is no one who can prevent Kobe from dying, but Prince has achieved it, or he has achieved 30%, maybe 28.9%, or 44.8%. In short, he made Kobe Restricted to a normal Kobe level, the Sharks are alone, and all the honors Prince has won over the years are related to defense-four best defensive second teams.Time flies, and the little prince is already 10.2 years old in a blink of an eye. His three-point shooting percentage began to decline. This season, it was only 3.9%, and his shooting percentage was not high, only 1,3%. He averaged [-] points and [-] shots There are [-] and [-] assists in rebounds, but his defense is still there. In the game, Prince is still responsible for marking the opponent's main scoring points, and this has never changed.

Richard Hamilton, averaged 13.2 points per game this year. Although he is 32 years old, he will still run on the field without hesitation—his main means of attack is to run without the ball. , and then catch the jumper, just like when he was 23 years old, he rarely shoots three-pointers, his three-pointers only account for about 10% of his shots, and the shooting percentage is not high, only will exceed 33 %, his breakthrough is nothing to write home about, but his jump shot has been accurate for ten years. The two meritorious veterans, Prince and Hamilton, may die in the Pistons. Hanging above the palace of Auburn Hills for future generations to admire, it may also be traded for some hopeful stars of tomorrow, just like Chauncey Billups, who knows what will happen in the future.

In addition, in the starting lineup of the 2004 championship, there was also Ben Wallace. Selected to the All-NBA team five times, two-time rebounding champion, one-time block champion, four-time best defensive player, six-time best defensive team, five of which were first-team, all these honors, Wallace used himself Completed with a height of 206 centimeters, in 2005-2006, Wallace left Chicago due to a disagreement with the new head coach Sanders, and signed a 4-year, $6000 million contract with the Bulls, which set a record in NBA blue-collar contract history, in 2008 , Ben and Joe Smith, who failed to play their worth on the knee, were traded to the Cavaliers together, but before the season was over, the Cavaliers used Ben as a bargaining chip for Shaquille O'Neal and sent Ben Wallace to the Cavaliers. The Suns, then the Suns bought out Ben Wallace's contract. In 2009, the Pistons signed Ben Wallace with a one-year short contract. Ben Wallace performed well. After the season, the Pistons offered another A two-year $2 million contract allows Ben Wallace to train newcomers such as Monroe while the Pistons continue to play their residual heat.This season Ben Wallace averaged 380 minutes per game, was able to score 22.6 points, 3 rebounds and one blocked shot.

Chucky Atkins, 36 years old, NBA standard bum, before playing for Pistons, still in Europe, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets , Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves and other teams. He averaged 10 points and 3,4 or 180 assists per game in his career. The ability to handle the ball is relatively poor, and he often makes unnecessary mistakes. On the defensive end, his height of [-] cm is obviously a "cash machine" for the opponent's star point guard. He can play the data of a second-rate player against a third-rate player. He can play the data of a first-class player, and the first-class player can play the data of a superstar against him.

Austin Daye, nicknamed "Grandpa" by many small fans because of the homonym, is 22 years old and is a rookie selected by the Pistons with the No.2009 pick in the first round of the 15 draft. He is now a rookie In the second grade, although he is a "lotter rookie", Daye's physical fitness has not reached the level of the NBA. Daye is in the fourth position. He is 211 cm tall and weighs only 90 kg, which makes him look weak in the inside fight. , not to mention Duncan, Gasol and other star-level fourth positions, even when facing second-rate power forwards such as Landry, Scola, and Millsap, Daye's defensive ability is almost negligible, but Daye Being able to reach such a high position is entirely because Daye has a very good mid-range and long-range shooting ability, but if Daye is pulled to the third position, Daye's speed can't keep up. He is a typical "chicken rib" player. Well, you can interact with opponent players, and the efficiency value is always negative at a normal level.Daye averaged 20 minutes per game this season, scoring 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Jonas Jerebko, the No. 2009 rookie in the second round of 39, suffered a ruptured right Achilles tendon in his rookie season and was reimbursed for the season. He is 208 cm tall and weighs 104 kg. Compared with traditional European insiders, he is not soft Delicate touch, no cunning passing and very good dribbling, Jerebko is an energy forward, and his physical fitness can only be average in the NBA, but he is full of energy, moves very well without the ball, and has certain three-pointers. Point ability, defense is of average level.
