Chapter 179 A fight?
On the evening of May 5, the G3 game between the Pistons and the Hornets in the Eastern Conference semifinals officially started.

As everyone expected before the game, the Pistons quickly gained the upper hand at the beginning of the game. Wang Dalin, Billups and Hamilton frequently played exquisite coordination, and the Hornets were almost completely unable to resist.

In the second quarter, Barkley and Williams led the second team to defeat the Hornets second team. At 6 minutes and 11 seconds into the second quarter, the Pistons had already led by 46 points at 30:16.

After the main players of both sides returned to the field, the Hornets set off a wave of offensive climax under the leadership of "bearded first generation" Baron Davis, but Wang Dalin and Hamilton hit consecutive mid-range shots, which once again interrupted the opponent's chasing momentum.

In the third quarter, Davis played another wonderful individual performance... Facing the strong impact of this guy, "Second Brother" seemed a little powerless, after all, the opponent's physical fitness was slightly better than him.

In the last round of the series, because the team boss Mashburn retired due to injury after only playing 1 minutes in the G10 game, Davis, a 23-year-old young guard, stepped forward to shoulder the burden of the team boss.

季后赛首轮4场比赛，他场均可以轰出25分9篮板9.3助攻2.8抢断0.8盖帽，投篮命中率40.2%，三分命中率38.5%，罚球命中率74.1%。

In the case of encountering a large number of double-teams from opponents in every game, Davis not only used his own passes to organize the team's offense in an orderly manner, but also averaged only 2.5 turnovers per game.

Such a point guard who controls more than 60% of the team's possessions averages only 2.5 turnovers per game. How safe and efficient is this?

In contrast, Wang Dalin, as a striker, averaged 2.7 turnovers per game in the first round of the series!

As a last resort, Wang Dalin had to use "touch your head" again on "Second Brother", but unfortunately the effect was not obvious this time. Davis' performance was still very strong, and Billups still couldn't stop him.

In this way, at the end of the third quarter, the Hornets gradually approached the point difference to 72:79, and they entered the fourth quarter only 7 points behind.

Carlisle sent all the main players at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and he did not implement his rotation plan step by step... Obviously he wanted to go all out to end the battle as soon as possible.

The head coach of the Hornets, Paul Silas, also sent out all the main players tit for tat, especially Baron Davis, who played the entire third quarter, remained on the court.

第四节前6分钟王大林和戴维斯展开了一场精彩异常的飚分大战，两人你来我往效率惊人，其中戴维斯7投5中砍下13分2篮板2助攻1抢断，王大林更是7投6中轰出14分3篮板1助攻1抢断。

If this is the case, the two sides will fight until the last two or three minutes to decide the winner, but how can the Pistons only fight alone with Wang Dalin?

Sure enough, when Wang Dalin's shooting touch gradually cooled down, Hamilton stood up again.

This "killer without emotion" took advantage of the fact that David Wesley, the opponent's main defender, was a little weak, and suddenly ran around the screen continuously to get an excellent open position, and after receiving the ball, he made a fatal mid-range shot.

汉密尔顿连续4次中投打进3球，而且大本也在内线连续2次封盖了对方的主力中锋埃尔登.坎贝尔，兄弟联手将比分拉开到了99:85。

The Hornets still tried to play a desperate counterattack in the final stage, but Wang Dalin stole George Lynch on the defensive end again, and he dribbled the ball and made a fast-break three-pointer.

At this point, the Hornets' general situation is over, and Paul Silas finally replaced all the main players and voluntarily surrendered.

The final score of the two sides was 109:91, and the Pistons won very easily at home.

At the press conference after the game, Paul Silas said that the strength of the Pistons is indeed higher than that of the current Hornets, but they will not admit defeat, and the Hornets will definitely win back in the G2 game anyway.

Even the reporters don't believe such words... With your strength, how can you win back?
After the win, the Pistons players were very happy. Billups even suggested that everyone go to the nightclub HAPPY, but this bad idea was immediately banned by Carlisle... What are you kidding?Going to drink and play disco at this time, do you think you are Uncle Liu Huang?
Don't blow it up. Before joining the Pistons, Billups was really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has always been a problematic young man. Otherwise, with his strength, how could the Timberwolves let him go to Detroit?
You know... Even in the original time and space, Billups has basically secured the Timberwolves starting point guard position this season, averaging 12.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 39.4%!

Although he didn't play well with the Pistons in his previous life, his performance can be regarded as a qualified starting point guard. The Timberwolves' top management didn't have any brains, so how could they let him go for nothing?

Sometimes, the reason why the team doesn't want you is not necessarily because you are not good enough, it's more likely because... your character is problematic!

The G2 battle between the Pistons and the Hornets started on the night of May 5th. Coach Paul Silas of the Hornets sent an unprecedented starting lineup——

Center Jamal Magloire, power forward PJ Brown, small forward George Lynch, shooting guard David Wesley, and point guard Baron Davis.

Coach Paul Silas removed Eldon Campbell and Lee Neyron and put them on the bench, a move that Carlisle was a bit unexpected.

This season, Campbell has been the best choice for the Hornets' starting center. During the regular season, he averaged 13.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, and his performance was absolutely satisfactory.

And Lee Nairon even started 41 times in the regular season. You must know that he replaced the team leader Mashburn... Mashburn did miss many games due to injury this season. He only played 40 games in the regular season!
After thinking for a moment, Carlisle probably guessed Silas's intentions. It should be that the old coach saw the team's second lineup suffer a lot in the G1 game, so he wanted to use this method to strengthen his lineup strength in the transition period.

The strength of the Hornets' starting lineup itself is inferior to that of the Pistons. If the second team still loses, then the game will be over.

Barkley and Williams are indeed fierce. One of them is a superstar with rich experience in the playoffs.

After the game started, Davis immediately entered the state, and Billups immediately felt the tremendous pressure.

He really couldn't guard against this unbelievably strong bearded man, and even Wang Dalin put the "head-touching kill buff" on him to no avail.

Moreover, PJ Brown's mid-range shooting percentage is quite good, "Mickey Mouse" David Wesley has a good outside shooting ability, Wang Dalin and Hamilton don't dare to come to help the "second brother" to help defend, most of the time Billups can only go up alone.

Magloire, a center forward, is a rookie of the same class as Wang Dalin. He has not yet reached the peak of his career, but his inside skills are very solid, and Big Ben does not take advantage of confronting him.

No way, Big Ben is still too short, and being able to occasionally grab one or two offensive rebounds on Magloire's head is his limit.

(Ben: Who says I’m short? I’m 206cm, okay? Isn’t Karl Malone only this tall?)
Davis' offensive end suppressed Billups, but Wang Dalin also suppressed the Hornets' starting small forward George Lynch.

Although George Lynch is a rare perimeter defensive engineer in this Hornets team, especially his quick feet, he can barely keep up with Wang Dalin's dribbling speed, but his height is only 203 cm, which is still too disadvantageous for Wang Dalin.

In the second season of his professional career, Wang Dalin finally reaped the bonus of his height advantage. He is a bit like Kevin Durant in the time of the Thunder... Those who are taller than me are not as fast as me, and those who are faster than me are not as tall as me. Anyway, I am out of position when I fight anyone!

Of course, his current strength is slightly inferior to that peak Durant, but the acceptance of this type of players in this era is much worse than that of later generations. The head coaches of NBA teams even want to organize a dinner to discuss... How can we guard against this damn Darling-King?

After more than 7 minutes into the first quarter, the head coaches of the two sides began to deploy troops and gradually entered the rotation. The Pistons first removed Wang Dalin, and Carlisle wanted him to reappear at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Hornets replaced Davis and Magloire with Li Nairon and Campbell. One minute later, Coach Silas replaced Brown with Robert Traylor.

In this lineup, Campbell served as the center, Lee Nairon played the fourth position, George Lynch continued to play the small forward, Traylor, who was 198cm tall, played the shooting guard, and Wesley swung to the first position.

With 2 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Carlisle called another timeout. He wanted to replace Ben and Billups, but at this moment...an accident happened!

In the past 2 minutes, Traylor has been spouting trash talking beside Hamilton when he is marking Hamilton... For this kind of unknown person, Hamilton originally didn't want to have the same knowledge as him, but this guy has been chattering in his ears, and the words are worse than the words.

Finally, just as the referee blew the whistle and the players on both sides were about to go back to the bench, Traylor's words completely annoyed Hamilton.

Here's what he said - "That tattoo on your right shoulder is disgusting...Who is Edward? There's a whore in my neighborhood and that's the goddamn name for his son!"

You know, since Hamilton was in the seventh grade, his father followed him with a video camera and took pictures of every game his son played. Over time, he recorded more than 300 dribbles.

Hamilton's grandfather Edward Hamilton likes to watch his grandson's performance very much, and these videos are his favorite.

Edward Hamilton died in September 1998 of terminal lung cancer.

During the days before his grandfather passed away, Hamilton basically stayed by his grandfather's side, recalling the videos of his childhood with his grandfather, and capturing the unforgettable bits of memory together.

Later, in memory of his deceased grandfather, Hamilton got a tattoo on his right shoulder - "Edward Hamilton, Oct. 9, 1922-Sept. 25, 1998."

How could Hamilton bear Traylor to compare his most beloved grandfather with the son of a prostitute?
"What the hell are you talking about?" Hamilton pushed Traylor away and roared angrily, "Say it again if you have the guts?"

Traylor staggered from being pushed, and suddenly became furious. He rushed forward and punched Hamilton on the bridge of the nose.

"Damn it! How dare you hit my brother, are you tired?" Big Ben was not far away, and when he saw this scene, he rushed over immediately. Brown stepped forward to stop him, but he knocked him to the ground.

Seeing Da Ben's aggressiveness, Traylor was obviously a little ignorant, and hurriedly hid behind his teammates, but he forgot that Hamilton was not just a sworn brother of Da Ben.

Billups suddenly emerged from the crowd, and hit Traylor on the chin with a right uppercut, knocking him to the ground... Don't look at the "Second Brother" who seems to be quite calm, but he is unambiguous in his moves.

The ten players on the field from both sides were in a mess immediately. Lee Nairon wanted to step forward to help, but was hugged by Robinson, and the two struggled and fell to the ground together.

Big Ben wanted to step forward to make up for Traylor with three punches and two kicks, but Campbell of the Hornets blocked him firmly. Seeing that Traylor had been punched down by Billups, Big Ben felt that he had been punished, so he did not continue to attack Campbell.

This scene happened so suddenly that most of the players on the sidelines of the two sides didn't even react, but Wang Dalin immediately stood up and wanted to rush into the field to help, but Gates, a super strong man, hugged him tightly from behind.

"Wang, listen to me, you must not enter the stadium at this time, or you will be suspended!" Gates roared anxiously in his ear.

The audience are all Detroit home fans, how can they endure seeing this scene?So these fanatical fans threw Coke cups and hamburgers into the stadium one after another.

Under such circumstances, the Detroit fans will not be banned from the game, and whoever dares to play wild in the "Palace of Auburn Hills" will make him pay the price.

The referee finally reacted. Amid the deafening boos of the audience, they finally separated the players from the two teams that had the conflict, and immediately expelled Traylor, Big Ben and Billups who caused the accident.

As for Hamilton, he has to leave the court to deal with his current nosebleed. This sudden change made Carlisle and the Pistons players a little at a loss.

Although the Pistons won this fight, Traylor's deadly attack was indeed beaten by Billups' critical attack, but the Pistons paid an unbearable price.

Billups and Daben were expelled from the game. It is not yet known what additional punishment the NBA will give after the game. However, even if you think about it with your ass, they will definitely be suspended for additional games. I just don’t know how many games they will be suspended.

Right now, for the Pistons and Carlisle, the most important thing is... What should we do in this game tonight?
The Pistons were expelled from the team's defensive core and main point guard, and Hamilton's injury does not seem to be serious, and it is very likely that he will not come back in this game.

However, the Hornets were only sent off by Traylor, a street-rushing substitute. This fight did not affect the strength of the Hornets, but the Pistons suffered a big loss.

"Everyone, listen to me!" Carlisle said to the players with a serious expression, "It seems that we will have a very difficult game!"

……

After nearly 10 minutes of chaos, players from both sides returned to the court again. The Hornets played their main players, while the Pistons could only send Wang Dalin, Barkley, Williams, Barry and Jones.

Because Robinson fell down while entangled with Lee Nairon just now, Robinson's left arm elbow was hit hard, and he went back to the locker room to be checked by the team doctor.

Just now Wang Dalin saw Paul Silas' panicked expression, so he thought that the old man probably didn't want Traylor to do this, and that fellow should be such a nuisance.

Wang Dalin, who has watched football for many years, knows a lot of nasty things in the NBA. For example, the old Spurs thief Popo, who is regarded as "Zhuge Weiqi" by fans, has favored Bruce Bowen more than once during his long coaching career.

So in the playoffs that year, Kawhi Leonard was seriously injured after being stepped on by Zaza Pachulia. When the old thief Bobo yelled at Pachulia furiously, Wang Dalin thought that he was completely self-inflicted... It was "the way of heaven is reincarnated, and the sky spares no one"!
There was also Chuck Daly, the head coach of the "Bad Boys" of the Pistons, who was the most ruthless character in the league. It was under his leadership that the Pistons had the notorious name of "Bad Boys". Bill Lambiel, Rodman and others were just implementing his arrangements.

Fortunately, there are still a few head coaches with such low character in the NBA. Just like Paul Silas, the old coach of the Hornets, he is obviously not this kind of person.

There were about 2 minutes left in the first quarter, and Wang Dalin and a group of substitute players managed to survive the 2 minutes. Finally, the Hornets did not let the Hornets take advantage of the situation to open the score. At the end of the first quarter, the two sides fought at 23:26, and the Hornets led by 3 points.

During the break between festivals, the system in Wang Dalin's mind suddenly issued a notification sound... Another temporary task came!

"It has been detected that the host team is facing an unprecedented predicament, so the system has issued a temporary mission 'Sewer Joy'!"

"Happiness in the sewer: the main players are not around, host, are you afraid? Are you desperate? Do you want to give up? No! Life will never be smooth sailing, any superstar must go through a lot of hard work to establish his superstar status, so... don't be afraid, don't despair, and don't give up. Bravely fight against powerful opponents and enjoy the joy of being a 'sewer warrior'!"

"Specific requirements: The host must hit a triple-double in this game and lead the team to victory!"

"Reward for completing the task: the host will always be in good condition in all the remaining games of this season, and the overall durability will always remain at 95!"

After seeing it, Wang Dalin couldn't help but feel powerless...

It's easy to say, go up and fight against a powerful opponent?
Do you even know that the other party is a "powerful opponent"?

He's not hypocritical... But if one of Billups, Big Ben and Hamilton can play at this time, he also thinks that the Pistons are not completely hopeless, but... there are only him and a bunch of substitute players left, how to play this?
Even if Robinson can play?
Huh?By the way... isn't the mission of the system called "Happiness in the Sewer"?

If you want to say who is the strongest "sewer fighter" in NBA history, who else can be besides Russell Westbrook?
Speaking of which... he was the one who earned the title "Sewer Warrior"!
On the sideline bench, Carlisle was still taking the time to explain the offensive and defensive tactics to the players. Wang Dalin suddenly interjected, "Coach Rick, I have some ideas that might allow us to win this game!"

Carlisle froze for a moment and asked, "Darling, what do you think?"

Wang Dalin smiled slightly and said, "Let me play point guard!"
