Chapter 100: Lonely Detroit
In the second game, the Cavaliers' devastating victory attracted considerable attention.
TNT News:
"The first team to split the winner in the finals."
"In the second game of the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers, under the leadership of James, used their all-round suppression on both offensive and defensive ends to defeat the Pistons, and there is no doubt that the game will end in four games."
No one had any doubts about the Cavaliers' sweep of the Pistons.
In this case, Qin Yang faintly felt uneasy, because the Cavaliers seemed to have gone a little too far, after all, in the regular season, the Pistons beat the Cavaliers to the ground.
Fortunately, this touting did not continue, because the rest of the teams played more interestingly.
The Hawks teamed up against the Heat, and in the first home game, the Hawks won the game devastatingly, but in the second home game, Wade broke out directly, scoring 33 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds.
The Hawks were depressed and played a 1-1 draw at home, and the next game was played, and it was not impossible to even be reversed by the Heat.
But Qin Yang is more optimistic about the Hawks, the Hawks lineup is more versatile, and Wade, the core of the Heat team, is too vegetable.
What's more, in this winning game, Wade made 6 of 10 three-pointers, which also stunned the eyes of countless people.
Such a game cannot be replicated.
The Celtics played against the Bulls, Kevin Garnett did not play as expected, and at the Celtics' home court, the Bulls took the lead and won the game by a narrow margin of 2 points.
Derrick Rose finished with 36 points, 11 assists and four rebounds on 12-of-19 shooting in the first playoff game.
As soon as this data came out, it was praised by the entire league.
For a while, the rest of the news became a foil.
This kind of performance made Rose famous, and many retired superstars came to comment. Jordan even brushed a wave of presence:
"He's the player who looks like me the most so far."
The Bulls are the second superstar to achieve such statistics after Jordan, and have an explosive court performance, and everyone subconsciously regards Derrick Rose as the second Jordan.
In this game, Derrick Rose's fame has caught up with superstars such as Kobe Bryant and James.
All the media is touting it, and the league is praising Ross.
Of course, Kevin's special Ray Allen has become a villain, because Ray Allen played against Derrick Rose in this game, shooting 1 of 12, which is really no one's shooting percentage.
After the game, there was news that Rondo had a conflict with Ray Allen in the dressing room, and the matter was later suppressed and not resolved.
Because everybody is talking about Derrick Rose.
However, during this time, the games of other teams were just as exciting.
Eastern Magic vs. 76ers.
This should be a team with obvious strengths and weaknesses, and the Magic led by Howard is much, much better than the 76ers. But in the first game, the Magic lost by 2 points on their home court.
Howard had 31 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
However, the Magic still lost.
The 76ers defeated the Magic with their own team basketball, and the team had six double-doubles, united as one, and did a good job on both offensive and defensive ends.
The Magic team's three-point shooting rate is less than 30%, and Howard of the pit doesn't want to.
Fortunately, in the second game, the Magic team picked up the form and pulled back a game at home, but the home team drew 1-1, and the Magic team was very difficult to play in the next game.
In the West, the Jazz team played by the Lakers couldn't find the north, and Kobe Bryant played well.
The Lakers and Trail Blazers drew 1-1.
In the second game, Huang Mambaloi scored 42 points, a playoff stat that few people can compare.
And in this game, LaMarcus Aldridge was 12 of 19, with 27 points and 12 rebounds, which was also dazzling.
Many people believe that no matter whether this series is won or lost, the Trail Blazers will take the Trail Blazers to a start.
Nuggets vs. Partridges, this series is a great way to know what the true core is.
Chauncey Billups averaged 22.4 points, 7.2 assists, 4 rebounds and 1 steal per game, beating Chris Paul. In terms of shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage, Billups beat Paul.
Finally, after many years, Billups finally got the credit he deserved.
Who would have thought that the original No. 4 rookie was disliked by various teams, tossed and turned, and failed to get a good contract, even if he won the championship with the Pistons, Billups was considered a general in the lame, and barely picked up a Finals MVP.
Later, the Pistons rebuilt and Billups was traded first.
Billups, who came to the Nuggets, proved his quality to everyone.
Chris Paul, the league's No. 1 point guard, was abused by Billups in the playoffs.
Again, it was said that Paul's No. 1 point guard in the league was a bit unworthy of his name, because every time he met Billups and Delon Chubby, Paul's performance on the court would be miserable.
Spurs vs. Mavericks.
The Spurs had home-court advantage but were almost beaten 2-0, and if it weren't for the Spurs explosion in the second game, they would probably have lost very badly.
Without Ginobili, the Spurs lacked an important link, and were almost pinned to the ground by the Mavericks and beaten up.
Bull and horse fights, the Spurs are dangerous.
…………
After a two-day break, the Cavaliers came to Detroit, the Motor City.
As soon as he got off the plane and got on the bus to the hotel, Qin Yang felt the depression and uneasiness in Detroit. Sitting on the bus, Qin Yang could see Detroiters outside holding signs and demonstrating.
"What's going on?"
Qin Yang said in a low voice.
James next to him glanced at it, lowered his voice, and said, "Detroit is getting worse and worse, maybe it won't be long before Detroit goes bankrupt." ”
Qin Yang was taken aback, and the city would also go bankrupt.
Qin Yang is used to sitting in the front of the bus, and generally the players in front are not willing to do this, so they find a back to do it, and these few times James and Qin Yang sit in the front and chat with him.
Seeing that Qin Yang was very interested, James lowered his voice and explained:
"It's hard to say that this place was a representation of the American Dream a few decades ago, where most of the black people came, and there are the three major car companies in the United States, and the welfare of black workers is very good......"
"But then there was a racial conflict here, and it's hard to explain that the whites all left here, and only the blacks were left, and you have to know that most of the black places are chaotic, and Detroit is no exception, and recently as the auto industry is getting more and more sluggish, especially the price of oil is getting higher and higher, Detroit is getting more and more sad."
……
James was obviously very familiar with these, and Qin Yang was stunned when he listened.
Qin Yang didn't learn professional knowledge, but he could vaguely tell that James was not talking nonsense.
That's what James is really good at.
"If you go to other teams in the future, or if you invest, and avoid Detroit, there's nothing wrong with that." At the end, James admonished.
James himself is black, and many things in Detroit are caused by black people, so James didn't say it in detail, anyway, who cares about what happened back then.
