Chapter 958 The fifth loss of the season

On February 12, Pistons fought back to back against Jazz.

Ginobili and Rashid continue to be absent, and the Jazz, who lacks lineup depth, still rely on the two elders to make a living.

The Pistons returned to the past days and ran away and rushed.

So history was created, Mo Mengchen and Hill scored a record-breaking triple-double of 40 in the same game.

126 to 88

When Malone scored 13 points and 3 rebounds in the game, the Jazz couldn't expect a miracle to happen.

Moreover, the biggest interesting fact tonight is that the total scores of Momonchen and Hill were exactly the total scores of the Jazz team that lost 86 to 88.

The winning streak continues.

At this time, the Pistons won 45 and lost 4, and continued to move towards the expectations of the outside world.

The next game will return to home court, and the opponent is the Bucks. There is no suspense, and another 20-point victory.

The momentum of the piston is completely unstoppable.

Two days later, the powerful enemy Pacers came to visit.

After Larry Bird entered the Pacers' management, he kicked the Smiling Assassin away and attracted Carlisle to rectify military discipline. The team's appearance was new. In addition, young players further grew up, the Pacers became a super strong team in the East. Not only did they surpass the Knicks, but they also suppressed 76ers on the combat power list and ranked second in the East.

If there is any team that can end the Pistons' winning streak, the Pacers are definitely a big hit.

In the past few years, the Pistons and the Pacers have played several times in the regular season, with a winning rate of less than 50%. Although the Pacers are always sent home by the Pistons in the playoffs, their strength is obvious to all in the regular season with a slightly lower intensity.

Under the expectation of the outside world, the Pacers gave the answer to the end of the game, and was defeated by the Pistons' Princeton tactics.

Jonathan Bend scored a game-high 42 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists with an epoch-making inside style. Unfortunately, his style of play had no way to defend against the Pistons at a critical moment.

Not only was he completely strangled, but his defensive defects and poor rebound protection were also completely exposed.

The final tactical victory is a proof of the Pistons' superior skills.

"My players have done their best, and the Pistons are a better team," Pacers coach Kassel said after the game. "Their tactics are impeccable and have a very deep substitute depth."

Even the second-ranked Pacers in the East failed to end the Pistons' winning streak.

After this battle, the Pistons have won 47 victories.

On February 18, the Pistons set off again, playing for two consecutive away games in the West. The first away game was the Western Conference's strong team Phoenix Suns.

The well-staffed Pistons shot the sun with a neat shot, winning 48 times.

After the game, they took a special plane to Memphis overnight. The next night, Westfal announced that they would reduce the playing time of Momonchen and Hill in this game.

The Grizzlies' resistance is impressive. They are ranked second from the bottom in the West this season. This record is likely to bring them a top five lottery, but no matter which pick, this lottery will eventually be transferred to the damn Pistons.

Therefore, they don't want to make a fool of themselves from the bottom of their hearts.

But their strength does not allow them to be self-reliant.

Tonight, Momonchen and Hill played for 23 minutes and 25 minutes respectively.

Both of them symbolically cut the data of 1454 and 1744 and then left the court to rest.

This food abuse feast belongs to the Pistons' second and third teams.

What is a brutal game like?

First you have to get 150 points;

Secondly, nine players in the team scored in double digits, and the highest score was Randolph, who scored 17 points in garbage time, the highest score in the team.

The Grizzlies obviously wanted to resist, but the Pistons didn't have much defensive strength, which gave them 111 points.

However, the piston scored 150 points.

150 to 111

This game without suspense ended with a rating of 14.

In a game where whoever defends is the grandson, the Pistons won without any suspense and beat the Grizzlies to the dust, with no hope of winning at all.

"Let's pray."

Memphis home commentator said sadly: "If we bring the No. 1 pick for Detroit this year, we are the sinners of the entire league!"

“Can you imagine this team picking LeBron James or Cameron Anthony in June?”

"That's a horror movie-like scene!"

In this way, the Grizzlies were double-killed by the Pistons in the season.

A crushing defeat that was enough to make them depressed for many days gave the Pistons 49 wins.

The Grizzlies' crushing defeat once again made people care about the draft in June. If the Pistons get the No. 1 pick this year, it would be terrible.

But soon, with the Pistons defeating the Penns-led Knicks at 16 points at home, they became the first team to win 50 wins in the regular season this season.

At this time, the Spurs, ranked second in the league, only won 40 wins.

The pistons were so powerful that all kinds of speculations about them also appeared.

The most heated discussion is of course whether they can break the historical record maintained by the 96 Bulls.

More than 70% of the media believe that the piston can break the record.

The remaining 30% of the media don't think they can break the record, but they are sure they are a stronger team than the 96 Bulls.

There are several reasons:

First, they were in an era of competitiveness that was stronger than in 1996. At that time, the Bulls happened to be in the era of major expansion of the league. The number of bad teams increased, so there were more opportunities to win the record;

The second one is naturally the depth of the lineup. Mo Mengchen and Hill are both just thirty years old and have won four consecutive championships. The overall lineup is still very young, and there are far more people who can compete and fight than the Bulls.

The last one, four consecutive championships.

Nothing is more convincing than getting the honor of a hand.

"My view of this matter is the same as before." On the night of winning 50 wins, Mo Mengchen said to the media, "It is naturally the best to break the record. If you can't break it, you don't need to bother. That has never been our goal."

For him personally, if he can break the 96 Bulls record, it means a great achievement.

This achievement is called: The Best Record in History on the Wall of Achievement.

And it can be completed continuously.

For example, they will win 73 this year, and if they win 74 next year, they will still be able to complete it again.

But for the Pistons, the season is the best opportunity.

This season happened to be a season when they successfully went from running the bombing system to overshoot the Princeton system, and their application of the new system became mature.

It was also a season when their joint defense system was completely stabilized.

Other teams have not yet discovered the advanced level of the Pistons' offense and defense. When they are successful, other teams will target and imitate and learn, and the advanced nature of the system will no longer have such a great advantage.

And, the chemistry within the team is the best since the 1998 season.

Michael Reed, who can start on most teams, play the sixth man without regrets as a core trained player;

Magloyle, Jerome, Gerard, Watson, Prince, Randolph and others supported the second and third teams, plus five starters.

The Pistons this season can be regarded as a strong team at the historical level.

Record-breaking, high-profile songs, and discussions about being included in the best teams in history in the future are all predictable.

Of course, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied.

The 96 Bulls are only seven years away, and more than half of the players are still active in the league.

Steve Cole, who currently plays for the Spurs, said: "I admit that the Pistons are the strongest team in the league. They also have the possibility of breaking records, but they will definitely not be as comfortable as the 96 Bulls."

No one knows what he meant by free and easy.

If the agile pass is considered to be free and easy, the piston's transfer ball is known to the world.

If the fancy attack is considered to be free and easy, the Pistons who rely on running and bombarding Jiangshan will definitely not accept his words.

No one knows what Cole means to be free and easy.

The good media threw the same problem to the in-service Scott Pipen.

As the core player of the 96 Bulls, Pipen's words are more important than Cole. Although he has reached the end of his career, most players respect him very much because no one of the active players has more rings than him.

"The Pistons are strong, and I respect their achievements," Pippen said. "Even if they win 82 games, it's just a joke if they don't have a ring, so my opinion is to wait until they finish the playoffs."

Pi Peng's words are quite polite, but it is definitely not completely denying them, and the winner is determined by the champion.

Rodman, who has retired, is not so polite. He looks at the Pistons, the younger generation, and in short, it is three words - he looks down on it.

"So what about those sissy guys break the record? The league is too weak now, I have not watched the game for a long time!" Rodman hugged a middle-aged woman with a strong fragrance and pink in an interview, "Let them die!"

Just so happens, Jordan is in the final season of his career.

The reporter naturally would not let him go.

Jordan's life was not only a life of struggle, but also a life of living with the media. He knew very well how to deal with these people: "It is not easy to compare teams of the same era, and it is meaningless to explore the strength and weakness. 72 wins are not a record that is out of reach. I believe that the Pistons have the strength to break the record, and I will always pay attention to their performance."

Perhaps it was the kindness of the leader Qiao's gang that scared the Pistons.

They were considered invincible and lost in the game against the Rockets, the seventh in the West.

The game was held at the Imperial Axis Arena, with Pierce and Houston exerting their guns.

Especially Houston, he killed the old master, and scored 39 points by cutting out a mid-range shot and receiving three-pointers.

Pierce played his professional masterpiece for Hill. He was ignored before winning the championship in his previous life, and the same is true in this life.

After being selected by the Rockets in 1998, although he was able to make the playoffs, he did not have the ability to compete for the championship. His annual output averaged about 24 points proved that his offensive kaleidoscope is well-known, but what else is there?

Tonight, he beat Hill and together with Houston, he led the team to give the Pistons a fifth loss in the season.
