Chapter eight hundred and seventy-ninth ending
There are only 25 games left in the regular season, Curry will miss at least 20 games, and Brad Miller will return to the starting lineup again.
After the slump in starting the season and the experience of most of the season, Miller has long been accustomed to Princeton's role positioning and has entered the starting lineup again. He is more skillful than before, and has played his masterpiece one after another.
The defensive flaws are not very obvious in the regular season, especially when the offense is smooth, Miller looks like a smaller version of Sabonis.
On March 8, the Pistons played away against the Cavaliers.
Old teammates met and Miller returned to the starting lineup. This was a harmonious game.
Miller played for 34 minutes and delivered a perfect answer. He scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, helping the team defeat the Pistons with a 16-point advantage.
Cavaliers coach John Lucas said after the game: "The strength of the Pistons lies in the unity of all the players. When you see Dor.mo handing the ball to Brad and falling into the crowd, and others taking this opportunity to run, you know how good they are. I can't imagine how defeated they are. In my heart, they are the strongest team of the season."
“It’s so nice to see them play like this,” said former Pistons player Ricky Davis. “I wish them good luck in the future and I just hope not to meet them in the playoffs, haha.”
Miller was regretful because he didn't get a triple-double. In the next game against the Bulls, Miller made up for this regret.
In order to allow him to adapt to the starting lineup as soon as possible - in fact, he had already adapted completely - Westfal asked Miller to play for 37 minutes in one breath, giving him enough time to score a triple-double.
The weak Bulls have no power to fight in front of the Pistons. If they want to win the game, they can only rely on barbaric confrontation to reduce their opponent's hit rate.
But the Pistons team has the attributes of Pitbulls. Although you are a weak team, I will abuse you at most 20-30 points out of morality. If you resist, it is hard to say.
It was in this case that in the last game against the Bulls this season, they slaughtered their opponents 44 points, adding another amount to the blood debt of both sides.
Miller scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, and many of his assists were to hit Hill's ground pass.
Hill scored 12 points with his passing alone tonight, plus some sporadic singles and shooting, and he scored the highest 35 points without sweating.
Mo Mengchen, who made a check-in in the third quarter, scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists without leaving any trace, and the Pistons' momentum was completely brought up in the final stage.
On March 18, the Pistons' winning streak was ended by the Bucks.
The Croatian sniper Peja brought Ray Allen and Glen Robinson artillery series, and the Pistons lost one by one and ended their winning streak with regret.
This defeat also left the Pistons with a lightweight battle. The next day, they went to Orlando to play the Magic away. They once again showed the style of a traitorous maniac.
The Magic's second-tier show Kwame Brown's blessing in this life did not fall into Jordan's clutch and was vigorously trained by the team. He currently averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds per game. Being able to perform like this in the first season is considered a star embryo, but his problem is very obvious.
He strengthened his defensive ability. Although his speed and shooting were impressive, he did not have an inside confrontation at the NBA level. Compared with those NBA players, he was still a big boy who was not yet developed.
"He needs to be strengthened in all aspects," said the Magic's live commentator. "He needs muscles, he needs to be strengthened in movement and pressing. But don't say that he is not a good player because of this. Judging from his dribbling and movement, he will grow into a very scary player. But as a big inside player, if he doesn't have enough strength, he will still achieve nothing in the end."
The physical defect is one aspect, and the more serious shortcoming lies in the size of his palm.
Brown has wonderful skills, which is not common to other high school players. His skills have been polished quite maturely in high school. However, when it comes to the NBA, whose strength has doubled, Brown, whose palms are slightly short, has a big problem.
If he only looks at defense, positioning, and cover, he does a good job. If he wants to use it, he will be done.
Shooting, no;
He is the famous butter hand when catching the ball;
Passing the ball is as tender as a high school student and very casual;
As for all kinds of attacks that need to be used, he relied on his talent to open his hands in high school, and in NBA, he lost the ability to turn the world.
Miller performed super strong hand jobs in front of Brown. He usually relied on hand jobs to teach Curry to be a human being in the team. Tonight he used the same method to make Brown feel inferior.
14 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Miller has not scored 5 assists in a single game since he was promoted to the start.
"If he had been starting center since the beginning of the season, would it be possible to break the center assists per game held by Wilt Chamberlain?"
All rational people know that this is impossible. Although Miller has performed well recently, he has struggled quite hard at the beginning of the season, and now he is just adapting to the role under the Princeton system.
After the game, Brown, who was completely defeated by Miller, acted very humble: "I have a lot to learn. I know, I am just a high school student. I don't know what they think of me, but since I'm here, I must stick with it and face every game like everyone else."
Mo Mengchen changed his view of him slightly.
In this life, Brown has broken away from Jordan's clutches, and his growth environment has become a stable Orlando. There is nothing else to be picky about except for the brainless management. It is very suitable for rookies to grow up.
If we look at Brown's developmental speed, perhaps his upper limit is a quasi-All-Star or All-Star player. Although it is not as exciting as the template chosen by scouts before the draft, it is much better than being abused under Jordan's hands and being suspected of life.
So there is a reason why Jordan was always blinded by shit during the draft when he was a boss in the future. It was not about paying back his debts during his time as a player, but about paying back Kwame Brown's debts.
You said you should come back if you come back. What's the matter if you still have a bright future for a high school student?
After walking through the Magic, the Pistons continued their regular season journey.
In the last 8 games in March, the Pistons won 7 wins and 1 loss.
Time enters the last month of the regular season.
The Pistons currently have a record of 54 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the league, and four wins ahead of the second-ranked Spurs.
They have secured a playoff spot, and as long as they do not experience a landslide drop, they can basically stabilize the ranking first.
In the first game in April, the Pistons ran into the Atlanta Hawks who were full of resentment towards them.
They played for a scattered season last season, but in the end, the pick was from the Pistons. They chose Eddie Curry with the third pick of the Hawks, and the Hawks repeated the journey of last season this season.
When encountering the Pistons, the Eagles have a heart to win, but unfortunately they are not strong enough to play.
Their hard-working resistance aroused the opponent's killing. The Pistons started a big killing in Atlanta. Mo Mengchen showed his courage and made the inside and outside shots. His shooting percentage was so high that the fans on the scene turned against him.
Since the Hawks did not give up resistance, the Pistons kept playing in the main lineup, and Westfal asked Mo Mengchen to stay on the field to score points.
In the fourth quarter, Mo Mengchen broke away from the defense and faced the Eagles' inside block and made a three-pointer.
"Hit for the board!"
"dor.mo's personal 65th point!"
"This is the highest score in a single game in the Dor.mo's career, and the Hawks completely turned against each other at home!"
This shot made the whole game shout MVP, and the Hawks on the field were only embarrassed, which was Mo Mengchen's highest score in his career.
With five minutes left in the game, if the Hawks do not surrender, Mo Mengchen may make a concerted effort and become the second active player to score 70 points in a single game after David Robinson.
Although the Hawks would rather die than surrender, they were even less willing to see their opponent reach a 70-point milestone. Therefore, they quickly replaced all the main players, and Mo Mengchen's final data was also at 65 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
That night he achieved both the achievements of "breaking a career high" and "scoring 60 points in his first single game in his career".
The achievement of setting a career high is a cumulative achievement, which can be completed multiple times, and each refresh score can be completed. The more times you complete, the greater the reward.
These two achievements have brought Mo Mengchen a total of 200,000 attribute points.
In addition to his previous games, surgery, earning extra money in restaurants, and achieving many achievements in various major and small periods during the regular season, he accumulated 580,000 attribute points in one season.
He will leave these attributes until the start of the playoffs before making unified allocations.
The season continues, the Pistons win consecutive victories, and their schedule is getting easier and easier. The strong teams have finished playing in the front, and behind them are either bad teams or ordinary teams with hopeless hope in the playoffs.
In the last two regular season games, Eddie Curry of the Pistons recovered from his injury and also banned the game. Therefore, he took the last bus of the regular season and returned to the game with a ban.
Then people found Curry had cut off his dreadlocks, had a flat head, and was obviously thicker than before.
Considering that he had just made a comeback, Westfal asked him to play the sixth man.
After appearing, Curry kept asking for the ball to look for the feel. He wanted to attack the ball like a hungry monster, and his desire to perform was amazing.
Within 26 minutes, Curry scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, and his tricks of abuse were still skillful, helping the team win the 62nd victory.
The last game of the regular season was the Nuggets at home against the Western Conference. Curry returned to the starting lineup and maintained his fighting spirit in the last game. The sharpness of sacrificing his life seemed to be the last game in his life.
It’s a pity that the touch is not very good, but everyone sees his fighting spirit.
The Nuggets, who are determined to lose, only hope that the Pistons will give them a happy time. They don’t want to win, and the suspense of the game lasted only three quarters before it came to an end.
In the end, the Pistons defeated the Nuggets at home with 22 points and ended the regular season with a big win.
In the regular season of the 2001-2002 season, the Detroit Pistons had a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, ranking first in the league.
