Chapter 823 Celtic One
"I can't start over. It feels like everyone's playing with each other and bringing the fans in. In the beginning, we gave the fans great expectations, but at the end of the day, it's all about that. It's empty."

After the Pistons were eliminated by the Celtics, the team general Antonio McDyess spread his hands and said helplessly.

There is an unexplainable emotion rippling throughout the Pistons. The team has failed to reach the finals for many years in a row. The team seems to have encountered a foreseeable bottleneck, and this bottleneck is so strong that it cannot be broken.

As one of the core players of the Pistons, McDyess missed the team's brilliant 2003-2004 season, so his hands are still empty, without a championship ring.

McDyess is 34 years old. He feels that the failure this time is because everyone failed to do their best, so the corresponding disappointment is doubled.It was with such a mood that he hinted to people his intention to retire.However, considering the contract issue, it seems difficult for his rhetoric to come true.Currently, McDyess has two years and $1400 million remaining on his contract with the Pistons.

Wallace, who no longer roared, looked a little depressed, no matter in his expression or state of mind.

"Man, it's all over!"

Remember what he said after the fight?

Was he thinking about the game or his long-term partnership with the Pistons?Like McDyess, Wallace is under contract, just for the final year.And if his role in the team is "reduced", then he can request an early return to free agency.

In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals last year, Wallace continued to go his own way despite the coach's order to strengthen the defense. As a result, he was no longer on the roster for Game 6.

And this year, he received a $5 fine from the referees for blaming them after Game 2.5 of the Eastern Conference finals.These news seem to be quite negative, and none of them is a big deal, but the cumulative effect cannot be underestimated.Maybe, it's another fork point.

On the third day in Detroit, general manager Dumars accepted an interview with the Detroit News.

Dumars is determined to make a major shakeup of the team this summer in an attempt to revive the Pistons.

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

"Make no mistake, none of these guys that are out there playing right now are for sale."

Dumas said. "Although I have no intention of completely tearing down and rebuilding a team, I will seek to make a big change this summer."

The Pistons are a team of champions. Although they have been in the Eastern Conference finals in recent years, it is undeniable that the players in their team are still the best players in the league, with the best execution ability and the highest tactical literacy. teams, or the veterans that growing teams want.

If the Pistons make a big change and push it to rebuild, it will definitely cause turmoil in the entire free market.

In addition, after Sanders left, who will replace the Pistons has become an unresolved topic.However, judging from the current information, Curry, the former assistant coach of the team, is likely to take office as the new coach of the Pistons.In Dumars's view, Curry is a younger and stronger leader, and Dumars intends to take a gamble on him.

Michael Curry, who had been teammates with Yang Di in the Heat before, had a good relationship in private at the time, and became a pair of close friends with a difference of more than ten years.

At that time, Michael Curry showed good tactical thinking and quick tactical adjustment ability in the conversation with Yang Di. Yang Di thought this old player was amazing and suggested him to be a coach.Later, Michael Curry really went to the Pistons as an assistant coach. Now that Sanders is gone, he is likely to take the position directly.

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

In the finals, the Celtics played against the Warriors.

The Warriors entered the finals in the third year, working hard to create the first dynasty in team history.

The Celtics reorganized in the summer and after the introduction of Pau Gasol, the team's strength took off. After a lapse of 21 years, they returned to the finals again.

Veteran John Havlicek, who won 8 championship rings in the past, also came to the scene. He accompanied Celtics owner Grossbeck to the locker room to share the joy of success with the players.

Havlicek reminded the younger generation: "Your jerseys carry a great tradition, go forward, Celtics, beat the Warriors!" Pierce and his teammates also took the microphone and shouted loudly: "Beat the Warriors, beat the Warriors!" !"

"This is the first finals in my career." Pierce said. The Lakers and the Lakers, it seems like it was yesterday. At the beginning of the game, I can't help but sit very close to the TV, and my mother keeps reminding me, 'Don't get too close, or you will die. Got myopic."

"And now, I have finally realized my dream again. I led the Celtics to the Finals. Although the opponent is not the Lakers, it is the Warriors who are stronger and more worthy of challenge."

"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 to promote the two teams, and the first game between the two sides is scheduled for the evening of June 6.

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

"We played against each other in the regular season, one win and one loss. The Celtics have a long history and tradition. They will use the most resilient defense to confront us."

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

The media in Boston praised Yang Di as a Jordan who grew ten centimeters taller. It is not that the two play in similar styles, but that they both have super dominance on the court. The media in Boston even threw out that Yang Di may be taller than Jordan. excellent view.In the playoffs that have ended before, Yang Di averaged 34.9 points and 16.8 rebounds per game, averaging a large double-double data, and his shooting percentage was close to 6%.

When other players are working hard to score in double figures, the large double-double has become a normal contribution of Yang Di.
