The Detroit Pistons have 12 wins and 7 losses so far this season.

This record is actually not too bad. In the Eastern Conference, it is even a little better.

But compared with his 64 wins last season, it seems a bit bad.

The Pistons are still considered a contending team, after all, they still retain most of the team that won the championship in 2004.

But as a "experienced person", Wayne knows that this Pistons no longer has the strength to win the championship.

Although he had already put on the Trail Blazers' black No. 99 jersey, when Wayne stepped into the Palace of Auburn Hills, fierce boos still erupted in the arena.

Wayne is indeed a very popular player now. No matter which team he switches to, hatred will follow him.

Uh...this doesn't seem to be called popular...

But obviously, the boos from Pistons fans did not affect Wayne.

He even enjoyed it a little bit.

Wayne waved his arms in the middle of the court to signal the fans to be louder.

If one day Wayne is not booed at the Palace of Auburn Hills, it will mean that Pistons fans are no longer afraid of him.

Since the Trail Blazers lost their last game in the Big Cornfield, the Pistons also hope to take advantage of the situation and win this game as well.

However, Wayne's declaration that "the team will not lose consecutive games today" made the Pistons generals very angry.

Guys, don't be too arrogant. Despite our mediocre regular season record and rumors of feuding between generals, reinforcements can only make up for some old guys.

But...we are still a good team anyway!

After a simple warm-up, both sides were ready to start.

Today, Chris, the security captain, and Paoer finally stopped watching from the sidelines. He was quite excited on his first day as the security captain.

During the past few days of being suspended, Pao'er was not idle. He surfed the Internet every day to learn boxing skills.

For this reason, I also bought a sandbag to hang at home.

It can be said that he is quite dedicated.

The success of stealing chicken Boozer last time made Paoluo feel more confident in fighting.

He felt that the old Sloan's words should be changed: "It's not about height that matters in fighting, it's about heart."

So, before today's game started, Tianzun noticed that the guy with 183 was always looking at him with a grin on his face. He couldn't help but turned his head and leaned into the ear of the little prince on the side: "I'm afraid that guy is not a fool!"

Tianzun is really impressed, what kind of teammates are these around Wayne.

Both Artest and Pao Luo are not in their right minds.

Artest: You said you can be a bombard, but you are going too far by dragging me in. Have you forgotten the despair of being ruled by the Yincheng magician? I am a mental player!

Wayne looked at the Pistons' starting lineup. Except for Ben, who was no longer there, the other four remained the same.

At this time, the person who replaced Ben in the starting lineup was also an old acquaintance of Wayne - Nazr Mohammed.

In the 2005 Finals, when he was still playing for the Spurs, he was tortured to death by Wayne and O'Brien, and he was in a state of ecstasy.

Of course, Larry Brown, the great peach picker whose glasses were blown off by Wayne's kick, is no longer on the bench.

He was working in cahoots with the Knicks during the 2005 Finals, and he actually went to the Knicks last summer.

It's just that there is no time to pick peaches in the Knicks. Larry Brown can no longer achieve any results, and he and Marbury almost got into fistfights.

After just one season, Larry Brown was fired.

Well, do you think Larry Brown would be sad?

He probably smiled crookedly!

Because he only coached the Knicks for one season, Larry Brown's salary plus buyout fee allowed him to take away 28 million US dollars.

In this era, even the highest-paid players cannot get 28 million a year.

Larry Brown truly deserves to be in this Hall of Fame. When it comes to wool shedding, Larry Brown is number one in the world.

It’s either about recruiting a championship lineup or collecting money. Anyway, Mr. Brown will definitely not work in vain.

Don't say anything else, Isaiah Thomas is done.

When it comes to squandering money, Steve Patterson is still inferior to the Smiling Assassin.

Of course, after what happened with Larry Brown, the Knicks didn't dare to sign a new coach.

This season, the Smiling Assassin personally took on the guests... and coached. However, the Knicks still didn't do anything great.

Compared to Larry Brown, Philip Sanders, the Husky godfather who took over the Pistons, had a harder time.

In a place like Detroit, you can't make a lot of money.

The championship lineup is not preserved either.

Last season, Philip Sanders and Ben had conflicts, and the Pistons really couldn't afford the money to renew his contract, which led to Ben leaving for Houston.

Speaking of which, the reason why Ben and Sanders had conflicts was because of his loyalty.

It is said that in a certain game, Rashid performed very well, but at the critical moment, Sanders insisted on replacing Rashid, who had been receiving technical fouls, with McDyess.

So Ben told Sanders, you can let Rasheed stay and continue playing, or let McDyess replace me.

However, as a coach, he naturally does not like his authority to be challenged. Sanders eventually replaced Rasheed with McDyess, and the Pistons also lost the game.

Since then, the relationship between Sanders and Double Wallace has not been good.

Just like that, the Pistons' championship lineup fell apart.

Even this season, Tianzun and Sanders are in a hostile state.

The current Pistons are actually somewhat similar to the previous Pacers. There is also a time bomb buried in their locker room.

It has no impact so far, but you never know when this time bomb will explode.

After the competition started, Mohammed naturally couldn't compete with his sister-in-law.

As soon as they came up, Tianzun and Wayne began to fight hand to hand.

Rasheed used his hands and feet to prevent Wayne from catching the ball comfortably. In the playoffs last season, he used this method to make Wayne uncomfortable.

"How did it feel to be eliminated last season?" While struggling with Wayne, Rashid kept whispering in Wayne's ear.

"You were not the championship last season, or even the Eastern Conference champion. So, essentially, there is no difference between us." Wayne responded, suddenly mentioning Paul setting up a screen in the high post.

Paul took the opportunity to break through so fast that the Pistons' defense simply couldn't react in time.

Don't think it's just a change of coach, only Ben is gone.

But the impact these have on the Pistons' defensive dominance is huge.

After Paul entered the three-second zone, Mohammed immediately came up to block it.

If Ben were now guarding the basket, Paoluo might still be afraid of three-pointers.

But Mohammed has absolutely no ability to replace Big Ben, and the Pistons' ability to protect the rim has dropped a lot this season.

Pao'er made a very soft throw and scored easily under Mohammed's defense.

That iron-blooded piston is no longer there!

"What's the use of saying so much? Can it help you prevent our attack?" After Pao'er scored, Wayne did not forget to counterattack Tianzun.

This time, Tianzun was silent.

Last season, the Pistons would never let the Pacers score so easily.

But now, it is easy for the Blazers to tear through the defense.

Although it was only one round, Rashid could already clearly feel the difference.

But... of course Rashid will not give in.

So on the offensive end, he was very active in helping Hamilton provide off-ball coverage.

However, when Hamilton took advantage of the screen and found a gap.

Wayne immediately defended himself against the masked man and did not hesitate to switch defenses.

Billups didn't wait and hit the ball to Tianzun.

Tianzun ignored Anthony Parker standing in front of him and shot a jumper directly!

"Bang!"

Basketball is playing iron, Tianzun's misplaced jump shot missed!

After all, Tianzun is already 33 years old, and his competitive status is in a stage of decline year by year.

So far this season, Rasheed has averaged only 12 points per game, and his shooting percentage is only 42%.

Even if Rashid is a fourth position who plays outside, this efficiency cannot be considered high.

Now Rashid is not necessarily sure of scoring even if he faces a misplaced defense.

That's why Wayne dared to guard Hamilton unscrupulously.
