the rest, only noise

Chapter 956 The Boring Heat Godfather

The Pistons couldn't stop the Knicks.

The first game was crushed.

Intensity was played in the second game, but the gap in strength was too great, and the Knicks were originally one of the best teams in the league to play in high-intensity games.

Ewing scored 27 points and 10 rebounds to beat Parish;

Wilson beat Worthy with 32 points and 8 assists;

The most annoying person is Miller, who scored 6 three-pointers in the half and scored 24 points in the game, shooting 100%.

Every time he made a three-pointer, he would signal to the Pistons players: "Is anyone guarding me?"

The Pistons have unfortunately become a tool for the Knicks to vent their fire.

It stands to reason, given the Knicks' current situation of internal and external troubles.It is possible to be defeated by an upset.However, if the book strength reaches a certain level, it will be difficult for upsets to happen.

The third and final game of the series.

Before the start of the game, the media were saying: "This game may be the last game of this Pistons team."

It's not that the Pistons will be disbanded or relocated, but that the Pistons' lineup will no longer be maintained.

Since acquiring James Worthy in 1981, the Pistons have made the playoffs for 12 consecutive years.

They fought against the Celtics at their peak.

When the Celtics dynasty was defeated by the Knicks, in an era when the Eastern Conference was weak and the rising stars still needed to accumulate strength, they became the second in the Eastern Conference.

It's hard to praise them with a title like the Uncrowned King, because the Pistons are not strong enough to win the championship without the Knicks or the Celtics.

They're like the Bucks in the early 80s.

It is very powerful, and it is also the biggest opponent of the division overlord.

They have the potential to compete for the championship, but they don't have the strength to win the championship.

This sentence applies to all teams that have the ability to compete for the championship but have not won the championship, but the Pistons are undoubtedly the team that most deserves this sentence in the Eastern Conference in the mid-to-late 80s.

Not to mention that they have never really threatened the Celtics and Knicks. Even if these two teams undergo drastic changes and come to the finals stage, they are not opponents of the Lakers and Trail Blazers.

It is such a strong team with no hope of winning the championship that made the management, coaching staff, and players do their best, but the results were only forgotten by people outside Detroit.

In the final game of the series, Worthy and Parrish both scored 30 points.

Pistons future star Steve Smith had 24 points.

This game is also the one they played the most stalemate with the Knicks.

It wasn't until the last 2 minutes that Kemp dominated the inside line like a primary school student, scoring 7 points in a row, and the suspense of the game disappeared.

At the end, 126 to 118, the Knicks eliminated the Pistons 3 to 0 and advanced to the second round.

At the same time, the strong teams in the east and west have not encountered any strong challenges.

There is only one surprise, and that is the Pacers ranked fourth in the East.

As we all know, this team is the Heat's old enemy.

Heat godfather Lewis Shafier's attitude towards the Pacers is like Miki's attitude towards Gu Meimen in "Victory is Justice"-"I will send this guy to hell with my own hands!"

As a result, after years of reinforcement, the Heat have become the number one team in the Eastern Conference.

In order to deal with the Pacers' Danny Manning, Shafier introduced many Spidermen and athletic power forwards, gearing up and waiting for the playoffs to settle the final score.

However, the Pacers did not give him a chance to settle accounts.

The Pacers, ranked fourth in the East, met the Celtics, ranked fifth in the East.

The first four games were tied 2-2.

Since Bird has announced that this season will be his last, Game [-] of the first round may be GOAT's last dance.

The younger Pacers deserved to win.

However, neither Mr. One nor Larry Legend were willing to stop there.

In the five-game tiebreaker, Manning, who had played four games, disappeared.

Manning, known as the trumpet Sampson, was beaten unconscious by the original Sampson who was in full condition, and went undercover the whole time.

Manning played the worst performance in the most critical game of the entire season. He made 24 of 4 in the game and barely scored in double figures with free throws.

11 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks-if you only look at this, it seems that he only has an abnormality on the offensive end, but his turnovers are 11.

Moreover, the hit rate against Sampson was 0.

Conversely, Sampson hit him 100 percent.

"Don't say Danny Manning is a trumpet Sampson anymore. You have to know that the only Mr. is the only Mr. because he is unique. Manning is not qualified to be compared with the only Mr. This is an insult to the only Mr.!"

这场挽救赛季的比赛，桑普森轰下47分13篮板8助攻5盖帽，让伯德犹如回光返照般的33分13篮板都看起来失色很多。

The Pacers' exit was the biggest upset in the first round
That night, Shafier went crazy.

"I want to live in a world where the Pacers advanced to the second round!" Shafier growled, "How dare that bastard Manning lose before meeting us? Ahhhh!!!"

"What are you yelling, I'm almost deaf from your yelling!"

Unsuspectingly, Louis' ears were attacked by Shafier's jade voice.

He could understand Shafier's mood.

Although the Heat ranks first in the league, he believes that the team's strength is not enough to compete with the Knicks and Trail Blazers.

The Heat now belong to a level that is more than enough than the top.

Except for the Knicks and the Trail Blazers, every other team has the power to fight.

So his goal has always been the Pacers.

This damn small-city team has sniped them for the last three years.

Especially that Danny Manning, how dare he lose to the sick and old Celtics?Just like this, what qualifications does he have to be called Little Sampson? Why doesn't he die?
Shafier felt that the playoffs were boring.

Louie understood exactly how he felt.

This is the same as the men's basketball competition in the 2017 National Games.

The Guangdong men's basketball team, which has gathered the elite from Guangdong, and the Liaoning men's basketball team, which has Zhou Qi joined, will have a duel between sparks and earth in the final of the National Games.For Liaoning, this competition is particularly special. They have entered the men's basketball finals of the National Games four times, but failed to win the championship. The last time they entered the finals, they were defeated by Guangdong. Now that Zhou Qi has joined, they vowed to avenge their hatred.

No one expected that the Guangdong team would be eliminated by the dark horse XJ—a Guangdong team that had assembled elites from the Guangdong region would be eliminated by the XJ men’s basketball team without Zhou Qi—that frustrating sense of disappointment is the true portrayal of Shafier now.

Shafier's grievances cannot be vented to the media.

After all, the Pacers lost, shouldn't the Heat be happy?
The Pacers are recognized as the Heat's nemesis.

The nemesis is gone, and the Heat, which ranks first in the league in the regular season, can't take off?
This is why Shafier is upset.

In his eyes, it is a ridiculous view that the Pacers restrain the Heat, and there is only one way to break this view, and that is to win the game dignifiedly in the playoffs.

Now the Celtics advance with their heads held high, and they will face the Heat in the semifinals.

Shafier gave orders.

"Since the Celtics eliminated the Pacers, we have to regard the Celtics as the embodiment of the Pacers in the playoffs. Because these old green ghosts made us unable to prove ourselves, we can only prove it with a series of overwhelming victories. Even if the Pacers come to us, they will inevitably fail!"

Louis does not pay attention to the semifinals between the Heat and the Celtics.

If nothing else, the Celtics will be blown away by the Heat.

Against the Pacers, the Celtics won because Manning pulled his hips in key games, but to win the Heat, it is not enough to let their core players pull their hips.

As the team that Louie remotely rebuilt, the Heat have created a deep and thick lineup according to his taste.

Relying on Sampson alone, he can win the Heat at most one game.

If Bird is on the line, the Celtics have a chance to drag the series to Game [-].

But at most that's it. The depth of the Celtics' lineup is too poor, the core players are obviously aging, and Sampson can't beat [-] hands with two fists (the Heat mainly play ten-man rotation).

The Knicks' opponent in the semifinals is the youth army Charlotte Hornets.

This team is seen as a 21st century team.

Meaning, if they develop normally, they may reach their peak at the beginning of the century.

But this prediction is basically nonsense.

What is normal development?

How can it be possible to develop normally if talents are gathered together and the distribution of ball rights is uneven?

Moreover, does it take so many years to realize the talent?

The Knicks didn't take the Hornets seriously. They wanted to crush Charlotte with the momentum of sweeping the Pistons.

But they were still careless. Although the wasp is young, the sting of a young bee can also hurt people.
