Chapter 437 Don't be afraid, the old coach will help you

After the team practice game, the Piston players gathered together to have a dinner, which was a way to enhance their relationship. When Daben paid the bill, he was very happy. With the new contract, he repaid a lot of blood. There was no pressure to give Livingston and Max a watch.

Players' sides, press conferences, dinner parties, new tactical system, and the running-in of new and old players, the 04-05 season began quietly.

With the publication of the newspaper and the preseason game in which Malone showed up with a rookie, but was beaten, the whole media work began.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of pitfalls, but the most controversial part, which is also the most incomprehensible to the majority of Pistons fans, is letting Lin Sa give way to Malone and switch to small forward.

That's great, the game hasn't started yet, and the original main players have been squeezed into the outfield.

The fans’ comments ushered in a wave of small high Cs in the first defeat led by Malone. Karl Malone’s historical status and strength are beyond doubt, but that was the postman Malone, not the old man who can’t run fast or jump high. Some excited media even declared that apart from the tonnage, Malone is useless on the field.

Is it really that bad?
Of course not, the Pistons have been laughing about Malone's business now.

The decline in physical fitness and the impact of injuries only made Karl Malone less dazzling, but it was far less exaggerated than the media said.

The main reason for the loss in the first preseason game against the Mavericks was that the main lineup of the Pistons was Max, Malone, and Livingston, with one old and two juniors, and Malone and Max's current style is biased towards defense. Except for the first quarter of the game, with the help of Livingston, the two of them showed two civilian layups at the basket position. After that, the offensive end basically did not perform.

Because the old Brown was a thief and only played 10 minutes with Livingston.

Don’t worry, the old coach will help you. If your physical strength is not good, then we will compress the playing time again. Livingston can play two full quarters. Old Brown only let him play for 10 minutes this time, and get out of class after one quarter.

The Pistons were slaughtered by the Mavericks in the first round of the preseason. Among them, the highest scorer in the Pistons camp was Hunter Lynch with 21 points and 2 assists, but the most eye-catching performance was Livingston's 9 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

Statistics cannot directly reflect Max's combat effectiveness, but the coaches who secretly followed this game basically put a label on Max, that is, he can basically do anything except attack and dribble.

The hexagonal fighter Max, the backcourt rookie Livingston, the future partner of the two Pistons broke out dazzling light in one game.

And behind their brilliance is the back of Karl Malone who has hidden his achievements and fame.

How about the average data per game, whether it has hindered his career, is not so important to Malone today, as long as there is a championship, everything is worth it.

After a preseason game, the media arranged a starting lineup for the Pistons for the new season, and crazily DISS Old Brown.

The lineup arranged by the media is Billups as the starting point guard, Hamilton as the shooting guard, Max at small forward, Lin Sa at power forward, Da Ben at the center, and Livingston, Malone and Okur as the main force on the bench.

In addition to those who blindly arrange with their eyes closed, there are even some professional ones who have already used Livingston, Hamilton, Max, and Lin Sagaoku as the team of the new piston system.

This is not an irony. If the Pistons' tactical secrets are revealed, if Old Brown knows who made the report, he must be killed on the spot.

Okur was also going to be sent away during the offseason. Why Brown forced him to stay was actually because of the Pistons second team given in this newspaper.

However, a little different from this analysis is that Brown Sr. hopes to use Hamilton to trade enough chips to keep Billups.

The dual point guards of Livingston and Billups are the old Brown's ambitions.

The entire league is following the trend of Lin Sa’s one-star shooting last year. Veteran veterans like Brown, Carlisle, Zen Master, and Parkley are already thinking about how to push this tactic to the wall. There is no eternal invincible tactic. Invincible is always the rule. Players who cooperate with the rules can create superstars of the era.

The media is eager to see through, hoping that the old Brown can show mercy and change the lineup before the official game.

But with the start of the second preseason game against the Rockets, these Pistons fans will be desperate. Old Brown still uses Karl Malone as the main power forward to integrate with Max and Livingston.

There is no need to play this game. The Pistons fans on the sidelines have already booed their team, almost making this group of Houstonians think they are back at their home court.

This year, Van Gundy and the Rockets uniform team are actively reinforcing, but unfortunately, there are really no useful players in the market, and they can only recruit two or three kittens. But even so, the Pistons still lose very simply, and like copy and paste, the bright spots are still Livingston and Max.

Pistons fans were desperate.

The media has criticized Old Brown as the most irresponsible champion coach in history. Other champion coaches want to win consecutive championships, but he may already be thinking about waiting for Lin Sa to play and win.

If this continues, the fans can only suggest that the Pistons should pay Lin Sa the old Brown's salary. After all, whether such a coach is the same.

Cyber ​​violence is not new now, and in fact it is not too late at this time, especially in places like the United States, where fans are already ready to throw Old Brown eggs at the gate of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

For the irascible Detroit fans, Brown Sr. is actually comforting, at least they are really proud of the Pistons.

As for the current abuse, they will understand after the official competition starts.

Although the sky is full of doubts about the old Brown and the Pistons, it is not that there is no one who understands the old Brown. Who knows the old Brown best is not his wife and children, but Carlisle, who is both an enemy and a friend, and Popovich, who is ready to bring Duncan to the return of the king at the beginning of the new season.

Others are only looking at the outcome. These two old men really see the far-reaching layout of the old Brown. Livingston's talent has been demonstrated in these few games.

But even so, if he only played 10 minutes in a game, then there must be something wrong with Livingston. It's just that he doesn't know what the problem is, but it doesn't matter, it will be exposed sooner or later.

Carlisle and Popovich are both paying attention to the Pistons, but their common enemy is the old Brown, and they are not friends with each other, so they can only guess separately. Of course, their goal is definitely to lead their own team to win the championship this year.
