248: You don't know how bad you can be unless you force yourself(1/3)
The Pistons' first game in the playoffs failed, which made most people happy.
Kenny Smith laughed at Barkley on the show:
"So I said, the Pistons are just a strong team in the regular season. Their record has crushed other teams in the Eastern Conference, but their performance in the playoffs may not be able to crush them. The Black Eight Miracle may really be possible.
Tracy McGrady, do you see how amazing he is? How many people can place more than 40 points in the Pistons' defense? McGrady not only did it, but also won the game."
Before the series began, Barkley, who was a hardcore fan, said that the Pistons could easily break through the first round, but as a result, Damn it turned out to be the first game.
This made Sir Ba the target of being bullied and ridiculed.
Seeing Kenny Smith showing off his might, Barkley was so angry that he slapped the table:
"I still believe in Li Ang. His performance in the playoffs is well known. The last game was just an accident, and the Pistons will not give the Magic any chance next!"
"Don't give Magic any chance? You mean, the Magic can't win the next game?"
"Yes, I mean the magic will be swept by the Pistons 4-1 gentleman." Barkley retorted.
"Hahahaha!" Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson laughed wildly and slapped the table, tears flowing out, like the two policemen who don't have holidays all year round.
Judging from the performance shown in the first game of Magic, it is hard to say who will win the Pistons or Magic in the end.
But the Pistons won four games in a row, which is almost impossible.
Barkley looked at his two partners who were crazy about laughing at him, and his veins swelled up.
Then why are you laughing at? Are you really treating me as a fool?
Kenny Smith: Don’t get me wrong, Ernie and I are definitely not treating you as a fool, you are just a fool hahaha!
"Bao!" Barkley slapped the table again, and stood up in a bang, very quickly!
"I'm serious, the Pistons just haven't entered the state yet. When they get into the state, the Lakers may not be able to stop them."
Barkley was very imposing and didn't look like he was joking.
Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson also stared at Barkley seriously, and then the next second...
"Hahahahahahaha! He said...he was saying that the Pistons could threaten the Lakers? Hahahahaha!"
"I know you don't like Shaq, but you're not so bad, hahahaha!"
The studio was filled with laughter from the two.
Barkley's mouth twitched, and he stood there awkwardly.
Can you respect me?
Is it funny?
You can't talk about Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson, and even O'Neal laughed.
He watched this show as a comedy show.
The TNT show is really fun. It should be interesting to do a show with a fool like Barkley who likes to talk nonsense?
The Pistons can threaten the Lakers, just like a brain disease.
O'Neal really seemed to ask the program team: "I'm sick too, with similar symptoms to Barkley. Can I join your comedy group if I retire in the future?"
Well, as we all know, TNT is a unit that does not read resumes and medical records when recruiting.
Those who read resumes have gone to ESPN, and TNT welcomes all kinds of talents with their own medical records.
McGrady and Rivers were also happy to watch.
The Pistons won four games in a row, and the gentleman sweeps magic tricks? This is just going to the toilet for a picnic and want to eat nothing.
The whole world uses Barkley as a joke and hopes that the villain team of the Bad Boys Army will be kicked out as soon as possible.
Except for Chinese fans and Detroit fans, no one may like this team.
Faced with the overwhelming voice of disgust, Carlisle's stubborn use of the veteran's nerves was forced to loosen.
Before the training started the day before the series G2, Carlisle talked to Michael Curry, the old.
Then, he announced a piece of news that surprised everyone: "In the next game, Tyshaun will start in place of Michael."
Suddenly getting the starting position, Prince did not show too many expressions on his face, but just glanced at Li Ang.
Li Ang nodded at him and then gave him a thumbs up.
The last piece of the puzzle was finally put on by Carlisle!
The series G2 on April 22 arrived as scheduled.
Before today's game started, there were even discussions about what would happen if the Magic returned to Florida with a 2-0 total score.
They seemed to have forgotten that the Pistons were a 60-win team in the regular season.
While Li Ang was warming up, several young fans wearing Pistons No. 1 jerseys were still shouting at Li Ang: "Please, don't let us be eliminated!"
Li Ang walked up and touched their heads, told them not to worry, and signed them by the way.
Then, he walked to Prince.
"Did you hear the fans shouting?"
"Um."
"Don't be nervous, just do it as we usually train. The scoring champion is actually not very scary."
"Um."
Prince was very calm, not as calm as a rookie.
After all, it was one of the few people who could still sit firmly on Diaoyutai in the original historical battle during the Rioban Palace.
Seeing that Prince was not anxious or impatient, Li Ang was very relieved about him.
Amid a boo, the Magic players stepped onto the court.
McGrady had a smile on her face, and the scoring champion who created countless topics in the playoffs was proud.
He felt that his peak season had arrived!
And this year's black eighth playoffs is the beginning of his peak.
As the saying goes, there are only three things.
Maizi has lost to Li Ang in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, so it is impossible for him to lose for the third consecutive year.
Brother Li is not the kind of merciless person~
He must let me win once!
Amid the cheers of the Pistons fans, the starting players on both sides took their place.
Barkley's palms were sweating. He believed in Li Ang's ability in the playoffs, but the basketball game was full of uncertainty.
No one can predict the results in advance.
So, Barkley was also very nervous, afraid that the piston would collapse again.
Now, only Li Ang can prove that Sir Fliggy is not a fool!
The two teams have their own starting positions, and the Magic side is still a five-player combination of Darrell Armstrong, McGrady, Gordon Kirisek, Drew Gooden and Pat Garretti.
The characteristic of the Magic lineup is that everyone can shoot, open up all the space and give McGrady a single.
So McGrady scored so many points in the last game.
McGrady is full of confidence. He can handle it today whether it is Leon or Michael Curry who comes to defend himself!
But after the Pistons' starting five tigers appeared, McGrady was stunned for a moment.
The guy with thin figure and no expression on his face, but tall and long arms actually replaced Michael Curry as the starter.
Many commentators were also surprised that they changed the lineup after just one game in the playoffs, which is a very risky approach.
What's more, Prince is not a well-known player.
Before everyone could react, the referee started the game and the Pistons got the ball.
In the first round, Li Ang hit the ball steadily with a mid-range catch shot.
Magic's defense has never been their strength, so there is generally no problem with the Pistons' offense.
What's more, Li Ang added his mid-range shot attributes to the post-90s, and his current stability in receiving and shooting is very good.
The problem with the Pistons' offense yesterday was purely because Billups was undercover.
After 6 three-pointers, none of them were confused. They were like a turtle.
Although the Pistons scored first, McGrady was still very excited after halftime and was ready to kill the special offensively.
He thought that the Pistons had replaced Prince to start to prevent Guden. In this way, Li Ang could come over to defend himself wholeheartedly.
As a result, as soon as McGrady approached the three-point line, she saw a long-arm monster with expressionless expression.
The Pistons let a rookie defend me?
Are you serious?
