254: Competitiveness(1/3)
"Huh, we're going to play in the Eastern Conference Finals soon, we're going to play in the Eastern Conference Finals soon."
In the locker room, Billups kept mumbling after changing his clothes.
Today is the day when the G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals begins.
Billups was very excited before the game. After all, this round of the series, he was a MVP-level player.
Then why are you laughing at? I really think that Brother Ki doesn’t have some strength, right?
Kidd ranked second in the MVP rankings last season, second only to Duncan.
Although they immediately disappeared from the MVP rankings this season, they have been the second child for a while after all.
Is it shameful to be the second place? It's not shameful.
It is shameful to be able to grab a second person.
Although the outside world unanimously believes that this round of series will be very difficult, many people even think that this round of series will reach the level of tiebreak.
However, Li Ang did not agree with this.
Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be too difficult to play against the Nets.
Because Billups is like this now, he seems to be entering FMVP mode.
Isn't that true in the first round? Once Billups gets into the state, he doesn't need Li Ang, a scoring guard, to take action, and the game will be over.
In the previous round of the Bulls, Billups basically had no performance.
Now, it's almost time to wake up.
It's decided it's you, halibut!
On the other side, Kenyon Martin was so nervous.
When playing with other teams, they compete with willpower.
Playing with the Pistons is a life-threatening game.
He can never forget last Christmas, that romantic night, his close contact with Li Ang.
He has never experienced such a thrilling night in his life.
Li Ang pressed against him, and he moaned wildly and slapped the floor. He flew together and was so happy.
"Kenyang!"
Kidd's shout made Martin come back to his senses.
"Concentrate, man, we're about to come on stage."
Kidd said, walking up and pinching Kenyon Martin's shoulder.
"Do you believe me? Think about it carefully. When did you cheat on you? When I first came last year, I said I could lead the team to play in the playoffs. The reporters laughed at me because Marbury led the team to only hang out in the lottery.
What's the result? We went to the finals for a walk!
Now, I said we were going to return to the finals, and the reporters were still laughing at me.
But have I lied to you? No. Believe me, as long as you run out of the opportunity, I will pass the ball to you.
Don’t worry and boldly attack, you are no worse than Li Ang!”
Kidd's eyes were full of routines.
What can Kidd do? He is also desperate!
Martin is the only one who can help him share some scoring pressure on the offensive end. The Pistons have such a strong defense. If Martin loses confidence before he plays, then there is no need to compete in this game and can directly shoot.
You know that the NBA is not allowed to directly vote, but you have to play even if you can't beat it.
Just like last year's finals, I had to play the Lakers even if I didn't work hard, and then I was beaten 4-0.
Very embarrassing!
The second place in MVP, he was shaved in the finals.
The Raptors won at least one game.
The Nets mainly lose because there are no players who are troublesome, otherwise it would be no big problem to win a game.
Kenyon Martin didn't see the routine in Kidd's eyes, and mistakenly thought that he had seen sincerity.
"Brother, I can do it!"
Martin clenched his fists, and as a man, he would stand up wherever he fell.
After two rounds of competition, I have also grown a lot.
I can definitely play in the game!
Martin still read less books. He didn't understand that if there were some things, they wouldn't grow.
Seeing that Martin was so passionate that he was fooled, Kid waved his hand: "Little ones, let's go!"
Billups kept staring at Kidd when he was warming up. His focused look made Li Ang very pleased.
This season, Li Ang can be said to have grown up with everyone in the Pistons.
Da Ben has gone from averaging 7 points per game to averaging only 6 games this season... and has become the best defensive player this season.
Hamilton has gone from a scorer who averaged 20 points per game last season to averaging 19 points per game this season... to a better track and field athlete.
Prince also went from a strong college boy to a skinny bony...
Uh... I really don't blame me for being thin like this.
The more Li Ang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Oh, everyone must have made progress anyway, now we are waiting for Billups to take the step of evolution!
Li Ang believes that the series against Kidd is the beginning of Billups' transformation!
Because it was the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pistons had a lively introduction ceremony for the starter today.
Seeing the Pistons players appearing wearing gold belts one by one, the Nets players couldn't help but swallow.
What a fuck... Have the team bought enough insurance for us?
Both sides took their place in their starting roles, and the cheers at the scene soared into the sky.
Since defeating the Bulls, Detroit fans have firmly believed that the team can reach the finals.
Kidd must not be misunderstood, Pistons fans are not targeting him.
What Pistons fans mean is that the entire Nets team is rubbish.
Before the game began, a close-up shot was given to Carolina.
Today she put on a thick lipstick, and her tight red dress outlined her perfect figure.
She stared at Li Ang tightly, and after she found that Li Ang was also looking at her, she generously gave a blowing kiss.
The live commentator couldn't help but sigh: "It feels like Carolina has grown up overnight, and she has changed from a little girl to a charming woman."
Didn’t that grow up? Sometimes it’s only a night to become an adult.
The camera cuts back to the court and the referee throws the ball.
The battle for the Eastern Conference champions has officially begun!
Da Ben fought for the first attack from Jason Collins. Billups made several gestures after getting the ball, looking confident.
Li Ang also set a cover for Billups, go to Changxi and bloom on the playoff stage!
"Bang!"
Billups used the cover to hit the frame and almost broke Li Ang's waist.
"Ah...it's okay, it's normal that you can't make the first shot at the opening."
Li Ang comforted himself in this way.
Kidd grabbed the rebound and then rushed to catch a counterattack.
The Nets' offense relies on counterattacks. Although people all praise Kidd's position organization, no matter how Liu Bi is, the organization cannot change the fact that the Nets' offense is at the middle and lower level of the league.
With the experience of playing against the Kings before, now the Pistons players have a lot of experience in dealing with the Nets.
When they hit the King, they could pass the ball when they stood up, and they all passed it very flirtatiously.
Isn't Weber uncomfortable if he doesn't pass the name behind his back?
But the Nets are just Kidd who can pass the ball.
It is not difficult to defend against it, just press on the whole process and leave Kidd untouched.
Kidbi made a move and then relied on his strong body to squeeze Billups out, hoping to break through the Pistons' defensive formation through a breakthrough, and then wait for an opportunity to pass the ball.
As a result, Kidd found that the Pistons did not tie him up at all and still resolutely implemented a one-on-one half-time press.
The Pistons' defensive execution ability is definitely the strongest in the league. As long as you have Carlisle needs, the Pistons can do it.
Not to mention the pressing of the whole game, even if Carlisle just said "Give me all five people on the other side to prevent them", the Pistons generals could meet his requirements.
To be continued...
