985 The cow that cannot be underestimated

The Warriors ran wildly on their way to victory.

After destroying the Rockets, the Warriors flew to Detroit to fight against the Bad Boys.

This is the second time the two teams have met this season. The last time the two sides fought was at the Warriors' home court, and the Warriors massacred the Pistons.

With the fall apart by the five tiger generals, the Pistons now no longer have the glory of the past ten years. Looking back at the beginning of the 21st century, the Pistons relied on five tough guys and a team of iron to roar across the league, constantly performing grassroots miracles. Looking at the current identity of the Eastern Conference, the old fans have to feel very moved.

The Pistons have also gained a lot of attention this season. The return of tiger players such as Ben Wallace, Hamilton, Prince, and McGrady's joining have made this team re-enter the news headlines many times. Unfortunately, the veterans can only create some topics. Their collaboration cannot change the fact that the Pistons have become a bottom-line player.

In this game, the Pistons' starting lineup was: center Ben Wallace, power forward Austin Dayer, small forward Prince, organizational defender Stucky, and shooting guard Hamilton. On their bench, there was the former league popularity king, Tracy McGrady.

There is nothing to note about this game. The winners and losses were already decided before the game. In today's era when the West is strong and the East is weak, the West is the top in the bottom in the East. What's the point?

At the beginning of the game, Chamberlain jumped and beat Big Ben. The Warriors took a fast break. Chamberlain received West's assist and passed the ball to the basket. Big Ben's height difference is too much. Moreover, his mobility has dropped sharply due to his age and injury. How could he be Chamberlain's opponent?

But after that, the Warriors played a little carelessly, and soon Prince scored a free throw because of a three-second violation of defense.

Starkey made a mistake in passing, West grabbed the ball and led the team to attack. Chamberlain followed him quickly to the basket. After receiving the ball, he made a tomahawk-like dunk. The Pistons' inside line could not pose any threat to him.

Starkey made a breakthrough layup, Chamberlain gave him a big hat, the Pistons called a timeout, and Gordon and McGrady were replaced together.

When McGrady was on the court, only some old fans cheered, and most fans were expressionless. This is the characteristic of American fans. They have never lacked popular stars, so some stars, even if they are super giants like Jordan, if they perform poorly, they will be quickly forgotten by fans.

Gordon just came to the Pistons in the summer. He helped the team in scoring and scored 4 points in a row after playing.

After Chamberlain made a 2I in the inside and outside, he cooperated with Curry with a three-pointer.

The Pistons counterattacked, and McGrady received the ball from the running position. He posed in a classic one-handed position of bent over and breaking through, then jumped up and made a mid-range shot.

Chamberlain was so wet when he saw this ball. As an opponent, he gave McGrady a lot of applause, but the fans didn't buy it very much. After all, the Pistons were still behind.

After that, McGrady received the ball again. This time, he flew out of the three-point line and then jumped up after a fake shot, and scored a three-pointer from a long time.

In this way, the Pistons launched a counterattack attack. Chamberlain didn't want to see such a bloody drama as capsizing in the gutter, so he decisively fought hard at the basket and pulled the score apart.

After the first quarter, the Warriors led by 7 points with 220. The Pistons performed well and they were still working very hard on the defensive end.

In the second quarter, Chamberlain sent out a block again, Carter controlled the ball and counterattacked. After arriving at the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Curry, who took the lead in the long shot.

The Pistons were a little anxious. Starki attacked and hit Carter with the ball. An old bird like Carter likes to bully newcomers with experience. After being hit, Carter fell to the ground in pain. The referee gave Starki an offensive foul, which caused the atmosphere in Auburn Mountain Palace to be hot, and fans angrily scolded "Black Whistle, Egg,."

Then, the Pistons called a timeout, and Chamberlain was substituted and replaced by Tabit and Ibaka's partner in the interior.

Tabit can still contribute some energy to the defensive end, otherwise the Grizzlies would not have chosen him with the second place. After the start of the game, the Pistons thought Chamberlain was not present, and the Warriors' inside line became the flower girl's skirt that she wanted to take off, and as soon as she started playing, she would drill into the inside line.

As a result, Starkey was sad again. He rushed into the basket and threw the ball and was blocked by Tabit. Seeing this, the fans couldn't bear it anymore, and booed the whole audience, making Starkey angry.

Stucky's life in the Pistons was indeed not satisfactory. He showed enough potential in the rookie season that year, forcing the Pistons to sell Billups at a low price to build a team with him as the core. As a result, it turned out that this was a joke. Stucky could only be a role player. He did not have the life to be a core player and could not bear this iron-blooded strongman.

Especially as Billups helped Chamberlain win two championships with the Warriors, Stuckey's life in Detroit became even more sad. Fans and media experts often took out Billups to compare him, and then concluded that both Billups at the same age and Billups now were better than Starcki.

At the critical moment, Hamilton, the masked man, supported the Pistons' offensive system. He first made two accurate mid-range shots in a row, and then rushed into the basket and caused Tabit's foul, making two free throws, scoring 6 points in a row.

The Pistons' momentum became a little more powerful, especially after one round, McGrady went straight to Huanglong in the middle, and received Hamilton's pass and broke through to the basket. Her agile figure once made people think that the scoring champion in the Magic period was back.

Faced with my cousin's provocation, Carter, the big cousin, couldn't sit still. Didn't he want to play dunks? Okay, then I'll be with me.

Hamilton's defense has never been very reliable. Carter hit the ball sideways, and suddenly changed direction from Hamilton and cut through it. He rushed into the penalty area with lightning speed. He also showed his heroic posture as the first dunk king.

McGrady and Carter's successive dunks detonated the atmosphere of the stadium. The fans shouted rhythmically, "Carter McGrady," obviously wanting to see the showdown between the cousins.

Obviously, the Warriors and the Pistons have no idea about the game. Tickets are bought for money. If you can watch Carter and McGrady's competition, you can make a comeback. After all, both of them are old, especially McGrady, knee injuries and back injuries have had a fatal impact on him. He has not been able to play in the league for several seasons. If you can watch this kind of game one less game.

Starkey was very tactful. After half the game, he passed the ball to McGrady, while McGrady changed the course and chose to pass the ball, assisting Monroe to succeed in the offense.

The Warriors' offense is the main point of Carter. West helped him cover at a high position. Carter thrust his foot and broke through, opened the open position and then stopped and jumped the ball, hitting a mid-range shot above McGrady's head.

Monroe scored another strong attack on the inside, and Tabit was at a disadvantage in the face of him, and Old Nelson and Chamberlain kept shaking their heads.

Since then, the Warriors made two consecutive shots, and Hamilton made long shots, and the scores of the two teams were still unable to be widened.

Carter made a close jump shot at the basket to stabilize the situation for the Warriors. The Pistons had the opportunity to chase, but McGrady made two consecutive pass mistakes and was caught by the Warriors. One was West's fast break layup, and the other was Carter's dunk after receiving the pass, and the Pistons' score was pulled apart again.

At the end of the half, the Pistons trailed the Warriors by -6 by 13 points.

In the third quarter, McGrady made another mistake. Curry picked up the ball and pushed it all the way. Chamberlain followed behind. In this way, the Pistons did not dare to press into the penalty area to chase Curry. Chamberlain attracted most of the firepower, but Curry easily made a layup.

Perhaps because of his encounter with Carter, McGrady was very excited today and frequently wanted to attack the ball. He made a foul against Curry and made both free throws. However, looking back, Curry also made a defensive foul on the offensive end, and also made both free throws.

Since then, the Warriors' pace has become faster and faster. Curry made a mid-range shot from a long distance, Chamberlain broke through and layup again, Jamison made a three-pointer, and the score gap once reached 2 points.

At the critical moment, McGrady assisted Villanueva to make a three-pointer in a long-range shot, and Gordon intercepted Curry to make a layup, so the Pistons bit the score again.

Old Nelson was very dissatisfied with the result and asked for a timeout to arrange Chamberlain's strong attack. As soon as he came back, he staged a 2l drama. McGrath broke through with the ball and dunked, and then assisted Villanueva again to make a mid-range shot. After the third quarter, the Pistons bit the score with 6.

In the last quarter, the Warriors became much simpler and more rude, just to give the ball to Chamberlain, who was inside. Chamberlain made three consecutive attacks and scored a 60-year-old climax, forcing the Pistons to shout a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Chamberlain was still unstoppable. He dunked like a tiger and scored 6 points in a row, and got two points in a row. Chamberlain showed the violence in the inside to the Pistons fans at Auburn Hills Palace.

Old fans watched this scene and vaguely saw the big shark who was visiting Detroit in 204. However, at that time, they had the iron-blooded Wallace brothers and the five tiger generals who were united as the first to carry the flag. What about now?

The Pistons also had counterattacks, with Dayer making a mid-range shot and Monroe making a layup, but these counterattacks became extremely powerless in the face of Chamberlain's strong performance.

The score gap reached 2 points again, and Old Nelson replaced the main player. Unfortunately, Jeremy Lin had no chance to play, so he could only protect the water dispenser and watch his teammates perform freely on the court.

Iverson contributed 6 points in a row with free throws, Evans cut off and made a dunk with Hill's pass, and the game completely entered garbage time. In the end, the Warriors washed the Pistons with 10B83 away and won a refreshing victory.

Relying on 6 points in the last quarter, Chamberlain scored 3 points and 6 rebounds in the whole game. The Pistons performed the best with McGrady, who scored 2 points with 7 of 14 shots, and also had B assists and 7 rebounds, and he performed very well.

This game was seen by McGrady's fans as their idol revival battle. It seemed that under the stimulation of Carter, McGrady suddenly woke up. After the game, McGrady also said in an interview: "It seems that God has opened the door for me and told me, hey, Tracy, come in, everything in the room is yours. So, you see, I run on the court, score, pass and grab rebounds. I think I am in a great state and I can contribute more energy to the team."

As a result, two days later, when the Pistons were away against the Celtics, McGrady once again strained his latissimus dorsi when he made a layup. He was helped back to the locker room on the spot. After a MRI check, the Pistons gave McGrady's reimbursement for more than 50 games left this season.

When he received this news, Chamberlain was quite moved. He had a foreshadowing that McGrady would never have such a brave performance again. He was very glad that he fought with McGrady at the last peak and saw the "Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, and was as sharp as the emperors, Long Xiang, and the attack of McGrady.

Leaving Detroit, the Warriors flew straight to Atlanta. This trip to the East was a back-to-back battle. Just the second day after the game against the Pistons, they were about to challenge the Kitty Hawks.

The Atlanta Hawks are not easy to mess with now.
