On this day, the Detroit Pistons arrived in Phoenix.
The arrival of the Bad Boys Legion attracted a large amount of media, and many reporters flew to Phoenix from all over the United States.
At the request of the media, the Pistons held a media conference in the hotel, and several major players attended the conference.
The team leader, Smiling Assassin Isiah Thomas, Laimbeer, one of the four villains, Joe Dumars, Rodman and others were present one by one.
The 36-year-old center Bill Laimbeer is retiring soon and can only play 20 minutes per game. He is still the main rotation at the fifth position this season, starting half of the games, and his contract runs until the end of next season.
The same goes for 32-year-old Isiah Thomas, who should be able to play for a few more years.
The 30-year-old Joe Dumars is at the end of his prime and can still play for a few more years.
The 32-year-old Rodman is in a similar situation to Dumars and Thomas. He is at the end of his prime and can still play.
The four of them are currently the main force of the Pistons. The other three are still at their peak, but there is no support inside. Laimbeer cannot support it. Rodman can only defend by grabbing rebounds, and the offensive end cannot support it. Plus the substitute lineup
No, at the same time, the soul of the Pistons, head coach Chuck Daly, went to the Nets. In fact, the Pistons are no longer good. The staff is aging and there are many injuries. They are currently in the tenth position in the Eastern Conference and there is not much hope of entering the playoffs.
.
"Bill, you will play against the Conqueror tomorrow, do you know him?" a local reporter asked.
"No, I only know Caesar of the Roman Empire."
After complaining, Ranbir said disdainfully: "Even if I am too old to walk now, I can still let your old K walk around me."
He spoke with a somewhat annoyed tone, because the league introduced bullshit flagrant foul rules in the past two years, which severely restricted the hands and feet of the Bad Boys.
However, he is not bragging, because as long as he stands under the basket and stares at the opponent with his fierce eyes, anyone who intends to attack the Pistons basket will be afraid.
"But you may not be able to beat Old K, unless you attack him from behind. Can you?" the reporter asked.
Laimbeer's face twitched, but he didn't answer the question. How could he admit that he had done something wrong? He had never admitted even the Jordan Rules that made Jordan want to live and die, and no one in the Bad Boys Army had admitted it.
But in his heart, he secretly said, Don't worry, kid, I will do that if I have the chance.
On the night of the 17th, the Suns faced the Pistons.
The game was not broadcast live across the United States, only in Phoenix.
At 7:30, both sides announced the starting lineup.
Pistons: Laimbeer, Rodman, Orlando, Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas
Suns: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Richard Dumars, Dan Mulley, Kevin Johnson
"Old K, although Laimbeer is old, he is still very fierce. You have to be careful and don't be careless." Barkley warned as he walked out of the locker room and walked towards the player tunnel.
"211 centimeters and 115 kilograms, he is known as the bad boy. He is one of the four villains in the league and a famous villain. Jordan suffered countless hardships at his hands..."
Lao Wang recalled the information about Laimbeer provided by the team and nodded: "Don't worry, brother, this old boy asked me to go around him, I won't make it easy for him."
Buckley smiled and said proudly: "But no matter how powerful he is, he still has to howl under my fist. You don't know how good that beating made him feel!"
"Then let's do it again tonight?" Lao Wang immediately said eagerly.
"No, if we really want to fight, he might not be able to withstand your elbow. His defense is fierce and his moves are bad. If we really want to fight, he will count as a ball! When it comes to fighting, he won't even count as a ball."
Buckley said disdainfully.
"Forget it, old guy, you can't win without fighting." Old Wang said.
As he said that, everyone came to the players' tunnel, and the Pistons on the opposite side also arrived.
"Bill, are you an old guy retiring? I think the entire league will applaud your retirement."
Buckley started yelling when he saw him.
"Yes, because they are afraid of me." Laimbeer stared at Barkley with a fierce look on his face.
He didn't like this fat, short fat man. When he pushed him to the floor and beat him, he lost all face.
After Barkley finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Tiejun next to him, showed a smile without the slightest hint of a smile, simply put his face twitched, and said in a cold voice: "Is this the bullshit conqueror that the media said?"
Lao Wang's face also twitched, and he said coldly: "Old guy, do you want to practice off the court first?"
Without looking back, he raised his hand and waved behind him. Kevin Johnson and three others immediately stood behind him, and next to him was Barkley who started rolling up his sleeves. The five of them were ready to fight.
Ranbir's mouth trembled, is this bullying me for being old?
At this moment, he missed the knife-wielding guard Rick Mahon very much.
I remember when that bastard Mahon left the Pistons and went to Philadelphia, and actually helped Barkley beat him up, bastard!
"I won't fight with you bunch of stinky coolies. Playing with you feels downgraded." He glanced at Lao Wang and the other five with disdain, waved and led the others out.
Don't watch him play in the NBA, but he really looks down on basketball. He has no choice. His family is too rich, and his father is too successful. He really can't find any other job that can make his father look at him differently.
He can now play basketball that makes him feel sick.
"Is he so good at showing off?" Lao Wang looked at Ranbir's back and said.
"No, this guy is not pretending, he is a real rich second generation, a super rich second generation."
Buckley looked envious and said: "Do you know what his most pretentious saying is?"
He didn't wait for Lao Wang to respond, and immediately said: "He said that one of his two championship rings was given to a stripper, and the other was thrown into the sewer of his house. Thank you, this guy deserves to die!
"
"Ha ha!"
Seeing Buckley's furious look, obviously distressed about the two rings, Lao Wang laughed.
"Old Wang, we have to focus on entering the playoffs. This year is our best chance. We have to kill the Bulls." Barkley roared.
"Brother, actually I will definitely be stronger next year. How about we forget this year and work hard next year?" Lao Wang joked.
"You dare?" Buckley jumped directly.
"Haha..." The players' tunnel burst into laughter.
After warming up, while sitting on the bench, Lao Wang's system suddenly jumped out.
"Host, please grab 15 rebounds in this game, and you will get a rebound training card."
"15 rebounds?"
Lao Wang recalled Rodman's information. He averaged 18 rebounds per game this season. Oh my god, the system asked him to grab 15 rebounds over Rodman. It is probably no less difficult than grabbing 20 rebounds in normal times.
?
He has been playing for more than a month, and he grabbed 20 rebounds in the last game. Today's task is probably quite difficult, but if he is lucky, he still has a chance.
In fact, he underestimated the difficulty of grabbing 15 rebounds tonight.
Today, not only Rodman, but also teammate Barkley's rebounding ability far exceeds his. If he wants to grab 15 rebounds from these two rebounding maniacs, unless Barkley helps him, he will be extremely lucky.
At eight o'clock, the game officially begins.
Lao Wang and Laimbeer jumped the ball, the young and strong took advantage, and the Suns attacked.
On the first pitch, Barkley beat Rodman.
Lao Wang carefully observed Rodman's defense on the weak side. He heard that this guy's defense was good.
I saw Rodman squatting very low, which made his center of gravity lower and his lower body more stable. He was pressing Barkley firmly, and at the same time, he would give his elbows from time to time. With his weight of only 100 kilograms, he could actually press Barkley.
Lee can't get into the paint.
At this time, Barkley turned over and shot a jumper, and with a bang, the ball hit the basket.
"mine!"
Lao Wang turned against the visitors and used his tonnage and strength to forcibly add to the iron mountain to occupy a favorable position and grab the offensive rebound.
Before he even hit the ground, there was a bang and he received an elbow on his waist. He stumbled as he landed and almost walked. Although he stabilized, he lost the chance to get up and dunk. He was double-teamed by Laimbeer and the rushing Rodman.
.
He was about to adjust his feet, then stood up and attacked the basket forcefully, and bang, he got another elbow from Laimbeer behind him.
"Damn it!"
After eating Ranbir's elbow twice in a row, he got a little angry.
"hiss!"
At this time, there was a pain in his arm. Rodman scratched his left forearm, and several blood marks appeared.
Laimbeer had already gone around to his side and reached out to grab the ball. Bang, he took advantage of the momentum and poked his soft waist with an elbow, causing pain.
"Get away!"
After receiving several blows in one second, Wang Tiejun was really angry. For the first time, he saw what a truly dirty defense was. He roared, leaned hard to the left with his feet, and bang, Ranbir groaned and retreated.
step.
The next moment, Wang Tiejun ignored Rodman because there was no time. With three seconds approaching, he stood up crazily, held the ball with both hands and smashed it towards the basket.
"Crack!"
Rodman slapped him hard on the right wrist, but failed to knock the ball away.
"Bang!"
Under the violence, the basket trembled endlessly.
"Beep!"
The referee blew the whistle and pointed at Rodman. The thug fouled and added a free throw.
"yeah!"
The first goal was very exciting, and the whole audience cheered.
"Shet!"
After falling to the ground, Lao Wang roared at Rodman and Laimbeer in a low voice: "You bastards, just wait for me. You are not the only ones who can make small moves. I'm going to make you lie down tonight."
Laimbeer and Rodman were twitching in shame. They were fighting a rookie, but they didn't knock him down. It was a bit surprising!
"Boy, just wait for me!"
Ranbir's eyes flashed with fierceness and he pointed at Lao Wang.
Rodman, a super master of trash talk, also yelled at Lao Wang: "Damn rookie, if you can't stand this kind of confrontation, just lie in your mother's arms and suck your milk?"
"Oh, so why do you smell like milk? Is it because you had enough fun in your mother's arms before the game?" Lao Wang replied.
"Pfft!"
Buckley, who was about to come over to break up a fight or break up a fight, burst into laughter.
Rodman was also confused. He even instinctively raised his hand to smell it. Did he really smell like milk?
Next, Lao Wang made a free throw and actually hit a hollow ball.
0:3, Pistons attack.
Isiah Thomas advanced to the frontcourt and faced Kevin Johnson's defense with a signature smile on his face.
This is a little man who has made Jordan hate him for many years, made magicians lose their swords, and made big birds lose their wings.
He averaged 2,010 per game for four consecutive seasons. With this data, the Magic were not as good as him.
In the 1988 Finals, he once scored 25 points in a single quarter with an injured leg. Such a feat has never been achieved by the scoring maniac Jordan.
When Jordan enters the Hall of Fame in the future, there is a sentence in his speech, "Isiah, Bird, Magic, I am no worse than you guys." From this sentence, you can see this.
The little man's position in NBA history is a legend.
Seeing the smile of the Smiling Assassin, Kevin Johnson's nerves suddenly became tense.
As a top point guard, Thomas played in 2010 for four consecutive seasons, but Johnson also performed in 2010 for three consecutive years. In the fourth season, which was the quasi-2010 performance of 19.7 points and 10.7 assists last season, his strength was actually not as good as
Contrast differences.
But in terms of reputation, Thomas, who has won two championships, is undoubtedly much higher. Kevin Johnson has yet to reach a championship.
The next moment, the Smiling Assassin shook and broke through. Lightning Johnson quickly retreated, turned around and chased after him.
In the next moment, Smile pierced through the pull-up jumper, and when he wanted to return to defense, his ball had already been released.
"Whoa!"
The water splashed and he hit two points from far away.
"What a smiling assassin!"
Lao Wang, who was looking down at this side, sighed in his heart.
When the Suns attacked, Wang Tiejun and Barkley were in the low post on the left and right, suppressing the Pistons' inside defense in the low post. All three outside lines were opened, leaving a large space in the middle.
At this time, small forward Richard Dumas suddenly started cutting in from the left three-point line, passed through the hollow area, and cut into the paint area from the left elbow.
Kevin Johnson passed the ball into the paint area with quick hands and eyes, and Dumas got it two meters in front of the basket.
Laimbeer and Rodman returned to defend the basket at the same time. They stared at Dumas who had just received the ball, especially Laimbeer, whose cold and ferocious eyes made Dumas shudder.
"Bang!"
Dumas, who was fully capable of a layup, was frightened. The rookie suddenly stopped, put the ball together with both hands, and stopped in front of Laimbeer.
"Shet!"
On the sidelines, head coach Westphal clapped his hands in anger.
"Give me!"
Stretching out his hands, Wang Tiejun shouted to Dumas.
Dumas hurriedly passed the ball and was almost intercepted by Rodman. When Wang received the ball, Laimbeer rushed over waving his hands.
"Bang!"
While Wang Tiejun was dribbling the ball, Xiong stepped forward and took the initiative to make contact with the rushing Lambir.
"Bang!"
The moment his front foot landed on the ground, he exerted force, and the six forces merged into one. The two of them collided instantly. Ranbir, who was rushing towards him, let out a groan, and the huge reaction force immediately caused him to flip backward and hit the floor.
In a hurry, Wang Tiejun's effort was not sufficient and he was hit and stopped. However, with the advantage of tonnage and strength, he did not lose his center of gravity, but the ball was a little out of control.
He quickly grabbed the ball from the floor with both hands. At this time, Rodman rushed over. He quickly got up and hooked the ball toward the basket.
"Bang!"
It missed, it was a little short, and the ball bounced out of the basket.
"mine!"
Rodman turned around and took off, grabbing the backboard with both hands.
At this time, Wang Tiejun's movements were not slow. He didn't need to turn around. He jumped up from behind Rodman with a single step, passed Rodman with his right arm, and pressed the bouncing basketball with his right hand.
Just as Rodman's hands touched the ball, suddenly a big hand pressed on it. In the next moment, with a bang, the basketball was pushed into the basket. At the same time, he was also knocked to the ground, staggering and falling.
The horse fell prone on the floor.
"yeah!"
All the fans applauded and cheered.
"Damn it, he hit my hand." Rodman quickly got up and yelled at the referee while making a slap gesture.
But the referee ignored him and grabbed the rebound in the air. It was a normal collision. At the same time, your hand was with the ball, which is part of the ball. As long as it doesn't hit the wrist or above, it's not a foul. You flop.
Repeat offenders, don't try to trick me into using my whistle.
Looking back, Pistons shooting guard Joe Dumars, the only good comrade in the Bad Boys and the winner of the NBA's Morality Award, was holding the ball on the right wing.
At the basket, Comrade Lao Wang turned around and blocked Ranbir behind him. The bad boy was so anxious that he gave him a hard elbow from behind. He elbowed him sideways and returned it, which made Ranbir's face change.
At this time, Dumars threw a mid-range shot, but Dan Malley was very defensive and almost blocked the shot. The ball was obviously too high and too short.
The path of the ball was so obvious that Lao Wang judged that the ball would hit the basket and bounce back, so he immediately took a step towards the front right side of the basket.
Sure enough, with a bang, the basketball bounced off the basket.
Barkley stuck Rodman outside, and the landing point was right at him. As he was about to take off to grab the rebound, a giant rushed over.
"mine!"
Lao Wang shouted and grabbed the rebound over Barkley's head.
"..."
Barkley's eyes widened, you, you, you, damn old K, you actually grabbed my backcourt rebound?
"Hahaha..." Many fans at the scene burst into laughter.
"Okay, Charles, our rookie needs data, but you only need championships." The on-site commentator was also joking.
"Three!"
After grabbing another board, Lao Wang got excited and casually gave the ball to Barkley and said: "Brother, the ball is back to you."
Buckley laughed in anger and cursed: "Get out!"
Suns offense, Kevin Johnson was hit by the Smiling Assassin just now, but he didn't return it later. This time he will return one.
When he reached the top of the arc, he waved to Barkley in the low post. The latter immediately reached the top of the arc and started a pick-and-roll. Then he took the opportunity to break through and drive in from the free throw line.
Rodman reacted quickly and immediately switched defense. After Kevin Johnson made an emergency stop, he made a step-back jumper and hit a goal.
