"I can't make it all over again. It feels like everybody is playing with each other and the fans are involved. In the beginning, we gave the fans great expectations, but in the end, it all fell through. ”

After the Pistons were eliminated by the Celtics, team big man Antonio McDyce spread his hands and said helplessly.

The entire Pistons are rippling with an indescribable emotion, the team has failed to hit the door of the finals for many years, and the team seems to have encountered a predictable bottleneck, and this bottleneck is so strong that it is simply impossible to break.

As one of the Pistons' core players, McDyce missed the team's stellar 2003-2004 season, so he still has an empty hand without a championship ring.

McDyce, who is 34 years old, feels that this time the defeat was due to the fact that everyone did not give their best, so the corresponding disappointment was doubly disappointed. It was with this mood that he hinted at his intention to retire. However, given the contractual issues, it seems that his sentimental words will not come true. Currently, McDyce has two years and $14 million left on his contract with the Pistons.

Wallace, who no longer roared, looked a little low, both in his expression and in his state of mind.

"Dude, it's all over!"

Remember what he said after the battle?

Was he thinking about the game or his long-term partnership with the Pistons? Just like McDyce, Wallace is also a man with a contract, but in his final year. And if his role in the team is "cut", then he can ask for an early return to free agency.

In Game 5 of last year's Eastern Conference Finals, Wallace continued to go his own way despite the coach's orders to strengthen the defense, and as a result, he was not on the list for Game 6.

And this year, he received a $25,000 fine from there for blaming the referee after Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. These news seem to be quite negative, each of which is not too big, but the cumulative effect should not be underestimated. Perhaps, it has reached another fork in the road.

On the third day of Detroit, General Manager Dumas was interviewed by the Detroit News.

Dumas is determined to make a major change to the team this summer in an attempt to revive the Pistons' prowes and power.

Dumas said the team needs to inject fresh blood, but also a new leader. He admits that complacency has permeated the Pistons over the past few years, which is why he intends to perform a major surgery on the team.

"Make no mistake, for these people who are playing on the field right now, none of them are for sale."

Dumas said. "As much as I don't mean to tear a team down and rebuild completely, I'll be looking for a big shake-up this summer."

The Pistons are the champions, and although they have been in the Eastern Conference Finals in recent years, there is no denying that the players on their team are still the best, the best-executing, and the most tactically literate players in the league.

If the Pistons are to rebuild and rebuild, it will certainly cause turmoil in the entire free market.

In addition, after Sanders' departure, who will succeed the Pistons has become an open topic. However, judging from the current information, Curry, the former assistant coach of the team, is likely to become the new head coach of the Pistons. In Dumas's view, Curry is a younger and stronger leader, and Dumas intends to take a gamble on him.

Michael Curry, who had previously been teammates with Yang Di during the Heat period, had a good relationship privately at the time, and made a pair of close friends with a difference of more than ten years.

At that time, Michael Curry once showed good tactical thinking and agile tactical adjustment ability in a conversation with Yang Di, who felt that this old player was amazing at that time and suggested that he become a coach. Later, Michael Curry really went to the Pistons as an assistant coach, and now that Sanders is gone, he is likely to go straight to the position.

Yang Di also congratulated his former teammates, but in this way, if the Pistons disintegrate, major changes will occur in the east and west, which may cause a new round of power reshuffle.

In the Finals, the Celtics played the Warriors.

The Warriors made it to the Finals in their third year, working to build their first dynasty in franchise history.

After the Celtics regrouped in the summer and brought in Pau Gasol, the team took off and returned to the Finals after a 21-year hiatus.

Former eight-time champion John Havlicek was also on hand and accompanied Celtic owner Grossbeck to the locker room to share the joy of success with the players.

Havlicek reminded juniors: "Your jerseys carry great traditions, forward, Celtics, beat the Warriors!" Pierce and his teammates also took the microphone and shouted in unison, "Defeat the Warriors, Defeat the Warriors!" ”

"This is the first finals of my career." "I'm really looking forward to it, and I remember a long time ago, I used to prepare a meal on the weekend and watch the Celtics and Lakers play while I ate it, and it all seemed like it happened yesterday," Pierce said. At the beginning of the race, I couldn't help but sit close to the TV, and my mom kept telling me, 'Don't get too close, or you're going to be nearsighted.' ”

"And now, I've finally achieved my dream again, and I've led the Celtics to the Finals, even if it's not against the Lakers, but it's a more intense and challenging Warriors."

"The Warriors have had great results over the past few years, and now it's time for the Celtics to end their winning streak!"

NBA officials began promoting the two teams, and the first game between the two teams is scheduled for the evening of June 5.

Yang Di said in an interview that the Celtics may bring the strongest challenge in the past three years, and they are a championship team comparable to the Warriors, with a balanced offense and defense, and they are very strong.

"We played each other in the regular season, one win and one loss, and the Celtics have a long tradition of playing against us with the toughest defense."

After the game against the Pistons, Boston media reported on the Warriors.

Boston's media praised Yang Di as a Jordan who has grown ten centimeters taller, not that the two have similar playing styles, but both have super dominance on the court, and Boston's media even threw out the idea that Yang Di may be better than Jordan. In the playoffs that had ended, Yang Di averaged 34.9 points and 16.8 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was close to 6 percent.

While other players are working hard to score double-doubles, large double-doubles have become a regular contribution to Yang Di's court.
