On the 15th, the Suns faced the recently controversial Pistons at home.

After the head coach was replaced by Larry Brown, the Pistons, who achieved the best record in the Eastern Conference last season, currently only have 5 wins and 4 losses, and have not scored 100 in a game. The offense and defense conversion is slow, and their playing style is extremely ugly.

The Pistons are obviously a team that leads young people, but their playing style is like the Jazz's veteran team in the past two seasons, always grinding the position. When the overall shooting rate is very low, they can lower the hit rate of the opponent's defense to win.

Of course, this is not the way fans want to see the winning game. When Brown coached the 76ers, at least Iverson, with gorgeous data, attracted fans. The Pistons played team basketball, and the team's scoring champion averaged no 20 points per game.

Many people began to question Brown's coaching ability, and the management frequently put pressure on him. Choudumas hoped that Brown could reuse the second-tier rookie Dako Milicic who was highly anticipated, but Brown was like a turtle who was determined to eat weights and refused to give Milicic any chance to play.

James and Anthony have become the offensive core of their respective teams. Milicic, who was not inferior to them in the draft, has not even played for a minute.

Brown is a typical academic coach. Playing ball under his command is a "upper-secondary" relationship. The 76ers' fall-off is directly related to Brown's excessive strictness. Brown does not like to use rookies and has never liked it.

Not only did he not give opportunities, Brown was very harsh on Milicic, and even rudely hitting the rookie's self-confidence. He said more than once at a post-match press conference that Milicic could not withstand the NBA-level confrontation.

If a reporter said that Milicic was not bad in the trial, it was an enhanced version of Nowitzki, Duncan Brown, and he was silent, and he acted like "I'm a famous NBA coach, you are all crazy people who don't understand the ball, I'm too lazy to waste spit with you."

In fact, Milicic just entered the league and was a very hardworking young man. He came from Seihei from afar to get Brown's appreciation and trained every day as soon as possible, but Browne would rather rotate eight people than give the second place a chance to play.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Milicic later gained weight according to Larry Brown's requirements and prepared to play as a center forward. As a result, he still had no chance to play after gaining weight and gradually became negative.

It was not until Brown was fired for his flawed personality and Dumas was abandoned by the team's boss for deliberately concealing the truth for Brown, that Billups dared to reveal the amazing inside story of Brown's intentional suppression of Milicic for two years.

"Larry scared the kid too much," Billups said. "He destroyed the kid's self-esteem so much that his rude attitude simply made Dako unable to recover from the pain. Now that our coach has been replaced by Philip, maybe everything will be different. You know, he hurt him so deeply that he may never be able to cheer up again. This kid has extraordinary talent, and it can be said that he is omnipotent on the court."

Milicic's only life now is to let his agent force the palace and be traded to a team that can play as soon as possible.

This game is broadcast all over the United States again. When the league arranged the schedule, it was considered a showdown between the powerful. The Pistons' card lineup is not weak, which shows that Milicic is a marginal person.

Guo Xu attaches great importance to this game and is used as a warm-up for the playoffs. If the Pistons can still dig out Rashid Wallace as they did in their previous life, their playing style is ugly, but their strength is not weak with their super lineup. They are a championship team.

The Suns now also have weaknesses, that is, players rely more on Guo Xu's performance. He is on the court and off. Teams with super core are prone to this kind of situation. Everyone is used to assisting, and they will not be so determined when they play. For example, James' Cavaliers and James' Heat in the previous life have all experienced the team's collapse immediately as soon as the core leaves.

This weakness cannot be compensated. The boss Jerry Colangelo specially called the coaching staff to ensure Guo Xu's playing time, firmly put him as the core, and strive to help him play 30+10 per game, and win MVP again.

For a team, having an MVP-level star can make a lot of money. It is very easy to buy a billboard at home this season. Even if the Suns don’t win the championship, Jerry will not sell the team anymore.

TNT radio broadcast live game. When the players warmed up, the two commentators talked about the NBA gossip news.

Previously, the world's unique "fired" ceremony was staged in Detroit. At the press conference, the general manager Dumas, who fired people, looked embarrassed, and the fired head coach Carlisle was relaxed all over, and the joke was spoken from beginning to end.

"Thank you for firing me. It seems to be a good thing to me. It doesn't seem easy, but you have to think about it best. I believe that I have a bright future and are good things for my wife Dona and our two dogs. I am very excited about the possibilities of the future."

Carlisle was fired in this way and made people angry and funny. The decision to fire was not Dumas, but from the big boss Davidson, because Carlisle offended the boss and several senior officials under him. Carlisle has won 50 games in the past two years, and has won two consecutive Midwest Championships. He once had the first record in the Eastern Conference and was also elected as the "Best Coach".

At first Dumas considered that Carlisle didn't have to attend the press conference, but he was on vacation on a small island in South Carolis. But Carlisle was born with a maverick, and not only came, he also brought his petite and beautiful wife Dona in an off-shoulder outfit. Unfortunately, the two dogs stayed at home, otherwise Dumas would have looked even more embarrassed.

Carlisle is one of the most dedicated coaches among the young coaches. He has a good research data and even the small loopholes of his opponents may be caught by him. He is born to be polite and only mess with the boss. He never publicly criticizes the team members and coaches. He also shakes hands with every staff member to thank him at the press conference.

With such personality, he is truly Jim Carrey's brother. This season, Carlisle has become the Pacers' head coach. Currently, he is ranked first in the Eastern Conference in the record, which is very slap in the face.

Both sides appeared, the Suns five players: Guo Xu, Lagabel, Joe Johnson, Marion, and Stardameier.

D'Antoni arranged small ball tactics and prepared to fight against the Pistons directly, with the defensive end being targeted. Marion single defense will not become a loophole, because the Pistons inside players have poor offensive ability, so don't worry.

Pistons five: Billups, Hamilton, Tyshaun Prince, Eldon Campbell, Ben Wallace.

Brown made Campbell, a 35-year-old blue-collar veteran, who was about to retire, and made Memit Oku, who had a shooting range outside the three-point line, and asked Milicic to guard the water dispenser. No one could understand his squad arrangement.

How could two young and strong inside players, who are seven feet tall, be worse than Campbell, who is 211cm tall and lose weight to only 98 kilograms? Campbell did have outstanding defense at his peak, but he had already declined.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the Pistons played very hard at the beginning. The mid-term trade came Rashid Wallace, and his overall strength improved significantly. In the end, he only won 54 wins in the regular season.

This is not that Brown has a high coaching level, but that the team's lineup is too strong, and that manager Dumas is good at trading, so he found an All-Star without spending any cost. If the Pistons hadn't defeated the Lakers and won the championship in an upset, Brown would have to be dismissed in one season.
