The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 13 Showdown with No. [-] Scholar Ross
Noon the next day.

Li Xun went to the team to reconcile with his teammates, ready to start the away trip.

As a result, I just met Michael Curry, and the bad news came.

"Li, the alliance just issued an announcement."

"You've been suspended for two games."

The severity of this punishment was quite satisfactory, and it was completely within Li Xun's tolerance.

But for the Pistons, this is definitely unacceptable.

The next two games were hard-fought. Without Li Xun, their chances of winning were extremely slim.

"Damn Stern, when will the old guy retire?"

Iverson had a feud with Stern because of the dress code.

So as soon as the opportunity is caught, Iverson will definitely scold him no matter what it is.

Originally, he thought that Li Xun would be banned for one game if he was on the top, or he would not be banned at all and fined [-] US dollars.

The others could only laugh, they didn't dare to scold Stern behind his back.

If it got into his ears, with his extremely vengeful temperament, he would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge.

"Two games, two games."

"Then shall I go with you now, or stay in Detroit?"

Li Xun is actually looking forward to the next two games.

One was against the Phoenix Suns and the other was against the San Antonio Spurs.

O'Neal is currently playing for the Suns. As a blue-collar insider who doesn't want to be a blue-collar insider, he has to fight against O'Neal.

Now O'Neal's game is one game less.

In addition to O'Neill, Li Xun also wants to see Nash, the Son of Wind.

As for the Spurs, Li Xun wants to know the GDP troika, especially Deng Dadai.

It's a pity that it's all just fantasy now.

Just as everyone was worried, without Li Xun, the Pistons' combat power immediately shrank.

In the first two games where Li Xun played, the Pistons averaged 12 rebounds per game over the Knicks and Nets.

In the two games he was absent, the Pistons were completely suppressed by the Suns and Spurs in terms of rebounds.

The veterans of the Pistons themselves don't have a very high shooting percentage, and coupled with their inability to protect rebounds, it's not surprising that they were tortured by blood.

Especially against the Spurs.

Duncan Howe scored 26 points, 21 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks, almost turning Kwame Brown and McDyess into mud.

Iverson was strictly defended by the Spurs. In the end, he made 13 of 2 shots and scored nine points by relying on free throws.

The current Iverson is no longer the magical answer to flying into the sky and escaping from the ground.

In the end, the Pistons were abused by 26 points at the Spurs' home court, and only 65 points were scored in the game.

Li Xun watched the live broadcast of the game in the hotel, and he was extremely worried.

This means that the Pistons are lucky and are in the East.

If it is placed in the West, excluding the Pistons in the future, it may really be ranked in the bottom three.

At present, the situation where the east is weak and the west is strong has taken shape.

Although the top three teams in the two divisions have little difference in record.

But the gap between the teams behind is very outrageous.

The Suns, ranked ninth in the West, would rank fifth in the East.

Even with the fourth-ranked Eagles, there is only one win away.

After losing two games in a row, and they were all hanged and beaten, the generals of the Pistons became more and more aware of the importance of Li Xun.

"All cheer up."

"Now Li Xun is back, and Rashid will be back in a few days."
.
"Our good days are yet to come."

"What's two losses? We're not just going to make the playoffs this season."

"It is even more important to hit the championship!"

Looking at the dejected generals of the Pistons, coach Curry began to pour chicken soup.

It's a pity that the people sitting in front of him are not stunned, most of them are old fritters who have been working in the league for many years.

They could already hear calluses in this low-grade chicken soup.

Even Li Xun didn't take it seriously. With the Pistons lineup, if they want to win the championship, it's tantamount to nonsense.

Not to mention that Iverson and Rasheed are old, even if they are all in their prime.

Facing the various powerhouses in the league today, they don't have much hope of winning the championship.

……

The group arrived in Chicago in the evening, and then they will play an away game against the Bulls.

Chicago claims to be Gotham in reality, but law and order is a mess.

The total population is only 1000 million, and as a result, there are four to five thousand shootings a year.

Even big men like Iverson stayed in the hotel obediently.

At eight o'clock the next night, the third game that Li Xun traveled over officially started.

For Li Xun, this game has a very special meaning.

Because he will face the same champion Derek Rose tonight.

The current season has entered the end of January, and nearly two-thirds of the schedule has passed.

Whether the rookies are mules or horses, they can generally see the clues.

If you want to say that the biggest dark horse of the 08 rookie, it is undoubtedly Li Xun. Even if he only played two good games, he can clearly demonstrate Li Xun's amazing combat power.

As for the strongest rookie in the 08 class, the current Li Xun is not qualified, and the champion Rose is the undisputed strongest.

Li Xun just wanted to meet Ross tonight and continue to expand his popularity.

Although the two are in different positions, Rose has been holding the ball and rushing to the basket. It is destined that the two of them will have a lot of chances to meet tonight.

Li Xun is already eager to try.

Damaiji blocked this skill, as if it was specially prepared for tonight.

The current Rose is just a rookie, and his strength is definitely far from reaching his peak.

And what he got was the top-level McGee's ability to block shots, so Li Xun is confident to suppress Rose's offense at the basket.

Of course, the premise is that the frequency of side effects cannot be triggered too high.

Otherwise, Li Xun will definitely make a fool of himself tonight.

The starters of both sides began to appear on the stage, and Li Xun set his sights on Rose, the No. [-] Bulls player.

Rose also looked at Li Xun curiously.

As the No. 08 pick in [-], he has been paying attention to the performance of the rookies of the same class.

If it wasn't for Li Xun's popularity these days, Ross might not even know that there is such a rookie in the same class as Li Xun.

After all, Li Xun's previous presence was almost completely negligible.

The Pistons' starting lineup is the same as before, with Kwame Brown and Li Xun playing inside, and Iverson, Hamilton and Prince on the outside.

The Bulls lineup is a bit strong.

Ben Gordon, Kirk Hinrich, British Jordan Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, plus Rose, the former All-Star center Brad Miller on the bench, and Nosy Oni and other defensive champions are also extremely strong.

Such a lineup, that is, the coach's coaching ability is too weak, otherwise the Bulls will rise this year.

Sitting on the most powerful three-point shooter group in the league, as a result, they have the highest average three-point shooting percentage per game, and the number of three-point shots ranked last in the league.
