197: Live like a cauliflower snake (seeking the moon)(1/2)
Li Ang finally returned from the Asian Championships, which made Detroit fans very happy.
Of course, not all Detroit fans are happy.
Even though Li Ang has become the boxing champion of the World Championships and the Asian Games, some fans still believe that the Pistons used the first round pick of the Grizzlies in 2003 to exchange Li Ang for Li Ang, which is purely a wild boar.
Dumas almost changed the Pistons' Pistons in one summer. Men like to call for another batch, so they can't bear it.
But damn, many fans don’t understand how to exchange the 2003 draft pick for Li Ang.
All young talents from the 2003rd class are well-known.
James, Bosh and Anthony, choose any one of them, which is the cornerstone of the team building.
If Li Ang told them that two of these three people won the championship after they were combined, and one of them had never won the championship. I wonder what the Pistons fans would feel.
Anyway, fans' comments on the Pistons' operations this summer have mixed reviews.
After all, the Pistons were second in the Eastern Conference last season and even reached the semi-finals of the division.
Logically speaking, as a strong Eastern team, you usually only need a small repair and a small repair.
As a result, Dumas Ya's direct reshuffle was now the only one left last season.
How can Pistons fans not worry? I have never seen the second-ranked team in the East do this. If the record is not advanced, what should I do next season?
The second in the East is a result for fans, but it is nothing for Dumas.
He only knows that the Pistons were swept 4-0 by the Nets in the playoffs last season. As it turns out, the Pistons' lineup last season was not good at all in the playoffs.
Without drastic changes, the piston would not have been able to rush out of the east.
On the first day after Li Ang returned, the Pistons held a press conference for new players to join the team.
At the press conference, Li Ang, Billups and Hamilton all officially debuted in front of the media for the first time with their new jerseys for the Pistons.
Li Ang naturally stood in the position. On the Pistons' blue jersey, Li Ang's jersey number became No. 1 in college.
When he was in the Raptors, because No. 1 was occupied by McGrady at the beginning, Li Ang had to choose No. 3 of Francis, while Francis chose No. 1 of Li Ang, demonstrating their friendship with the fruit plate.
But now after the transfer, the Pistons' No. 3 is Daben, so Li Ang had to continue changing numbers, so he put on the No. 1 jersey again.
According to Li Ang, he won the championship with No. 1 in college and university, so he is very happy to re-put his championship number.
Billups has been wearing No. 4 since college to last season, but the Pistons No. 4 is Dumas' jersey and has been retired.
In the original history, Billups changed to No. 1 after arriving at the Pistons, but now No. 1 is selected by Li Ang.
In the end, Billups had to choose No. 2.
The masked man Hamilton continued to wear his No. 32, just like the original history.
Because the Pistons' series of operations in the summer were questioned, this press conference was very lively.
"Li, can you tell me what the team's goal is next season?" Detroit reporters asked Li Ang a difficult problem as soon as they came up.
The season goal is a thing that is low, but people criticize you for not being ambitious. If you say it’s high, they criticize you for not counting.
Both horizontal and vertical spray.
So, Li Ang did not give a positive answer, but told reporters: "Our goal is to be the most difficult team in the league."
The reporters all smiled. Just you mercenaries, how difficult is the whole alliance?
It would be a big deal if you can maintain the second place in the Eastern Conference last season.
Li Ang, who was ridiculed, did not show an awkward expression, and he was also smiling.
Laugh, just laugh.
Li Ang is very confident to achieve results in the Pistons coached by Carlisle!
After training camp days, the atmosphere of the Pistons was great.
I don’t know if it was because of the reason why Li Ang said that during the dinner party. In short, you can feel that everyone on the Pistons, especially Li Ang, Billups, Hamilton and Da Ben, are all holding their energy.
During training, Li Ang could also clearly feel the difference between the Pistons and the Raptors.
Carlisle's pursuit of defense has almost reached a point of paranoidness, and the four main players of the Pistons are indeed good at defensive ends.
Following Oakley + Li An inside, the penalty area protected by the Pistons + Li An will become the most troublesome place in the league.
The only problem with the team now is in the number three position.
In Carlisle's vision, the team's small forward next season is 34-year-old veteran Michael Curry.
You can hear it wrong, Michael Curry.
In Li Ang’s opinion, the name of this brother is simply written on his face, “I’m very bad”.
But the name is named, and this brother's ability is actually very limited.
He is a tough guy who works hard and dares to fight. He once lost the draft, and then worked hard step by step from overseas leagues and finally successfully landed in nBa, making a lot of fun in the ugly country.
It can be said to be very inspiring.
But at the nBa level, he almost only has a conscientious attitude and tough style.
The scoring ability is basically 0, and the defensive end is not considered a big gate, so I can only say that it is very active.
If he plays as a small forward, then the Pistons and Five Tigers will be missing Prince.
Prince's excellent forward defense ability and three-pointers with a small number of first-hand moves but a stable shooting percentage are indispensable parts of the Pistons.
But at this time, the little prince Tyshaun Prince was just a first-year rookie and was very thin. It was normal for Carlisle to not use him for the time being.
After Prince adapted for a while, Li Ann believed that Carlisle would definitely see his potential.
The little prince needs to develop in a vulgar way, and the other few people also need to adapt to each other.
It will take time for the Piston Five Tigers to truly become a complete body.
In the blink of an eye, the nBa preseason officially began.
Carlisle concealed his cover up in the preseason, so he did not let Billups, Hamilton, Li Ang and Daben play neatly.
Therefore, the Pistons' preseason record is not very ideal.
The first game against the weak Grizzlies was only a small victory, and the second game against the Heat, which was already in the 2003 game, actually lost.
After a few preseason games, the Pistons lost more than they won.
For a time, many Pistons fans even yelled to get Joe Dumas out of class.
Dumas is also a Pistons legend, and his jersey is hanging in the Auburn Palace Stadium.
It was such a person who was called out of class, which shows how dissatisfied Detroit fans were at this time.
Last season, he was the second in the Eastern Conference and now he can't even play well in the preseason. That's all that.
Li Ang was also pushed to the forefront. After all, as the only All-Star player of the Pistons, when the Pistons' record is not good, they will definitely be the first to attack him.
Babcock of Toronto breathed a sigh of relief. Li Ang's previous super-god performance at the World Championships made Babcock always worried that his deal would fail.
But fortunately, from now on, Li Ang’s performance is not much better than when he was in the Raptors.
As it turns out, his vision is very unique.
Amidst the swearing, the regular season of the 2002-03 season is about to begin.
On the first day of the opening game, the league arranged three games, namely the Lakers vs. Spurs, the civil war between the five major points guards of the 76ers and the Magic, and the conversation between the Pistons vs. Celtics!
Originally, there were no Pistons and Green Kai in the opening game, but after Li Ang transferred to the Pistons, Stern smelled the fragrance of Dao Le.
The Celtics defeated the Raptors led by Leon in the playoffs last season, which deepened the personal grudge between Leon and Pierce.
During the playoffs last season, Li Ang and Pierce had a strong smell of gunpowder.
The Pistons and Green Kai are both strong teams in the Eastern Conference, and they are very eye-catching when they meet.
As for the Nets, Stern left the Pistons for the Christmas battle.
Stern thought, this road had to be done step by step, and the money had to be rounded up little by little.
Just like making an action movie, you can’t just show it to you as soon as you start. You have to pay attention to the layers of fading away and progress step by step.
If you take a big step, you will easily pull the egg.
Because the regular season schedule has been announced long ago, Pierce has been particularly excited since he was in pre-season training camp.
This year, Dream Five team only won sixth place in the World Championships, and Pierce was defeated as one of them.
If I had known it, I should have voluntarily withdrawn and let that guy Atai play the World Championships.
Before the World Championships began, Arte cried and made a fuss about joining the Dream Team, and told the head coach George Carl: Even if I asked me to guard the water dispenser, I would do it.
He just wanted to simply win a gold medal to enjoy it.
As a result, George Carl rejected Arte on the grounds that his brain was not developing well and asked Pierce to join the team.
Arte was so angry that he treated Pierce as his enemy from then on.
Now it seems that Yasuko is really stupid and has a good fortune. Fortunately, he didn't succeed, otherwise he would be the one who is embarrassed.
After experiencing humiliation from the World Championships, nBa will face Li Ang as soon as it starts the regular season, and Pierce Coke is broken.
To be continued...
