Chapter 122 Crazy Winning Streak

The arrival of Bird and McHale made the Magic's coaching staff unprecedentedly luxurious.

D'Antoni, Donovan, Bird, McHale, Anna, five people perform their duties, and the quality of the team's training has improved visible to the naked eye.

And the Magic's winning streak continues.

Their last loss dates back to November 11th against the Pistons.

And now, they have been unbeaten for seven consecutive games, including a wave of five consecutive away.

The current record of the Magic ranks first in the league, with 11 wins and 2 losses.

Coincidentally, in the next game, the Magic's opponent is the Detroit Pistons.

The soul of the Pistons - "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas returned from injury. This is the first time Davis has faced the league's top point guards.

But Davis didn't take it seriously. He knew that this season was already Isiah Thomas' last season. After his injury, his physical fitness declined sharply, and he no longer had the lightning-like breakthrough speed of his peak period, and his ability to pull space was much smaller.

However, with a height of only 1.8 meters, he lost the skill of eating, and his natural data dropped greatly.

Therefore, DeWeese is full of energy and is ready to completely sweep this top five super point guard into the dustbin of history.

The last six offenders beaten by Joe Dumars left a deep memory for DeWeese, and he vowed to regain face in this game.

After two days of rest, the Magic ushered in the Detroit Pistons at home.

"Magic starting: center: Shaquille O'Neal, power forward: Dennis Rodman, small forward: Latrell Sprewell, shooting guard: Nick Anderson, point guard: Michael DeWeese."

"Pistons Starting: Center: Alden Polynice, Power Forward: Terry Mills, Small Forward: Sean Elliott, Shooting Guard: Joe Dumars, Point Guard: Isiah Thomas."

Davis looked at the Pistons lineup strangely, and found that Bill Laimbeer was missing.

"Where's that villain?" Davis asked Anderson beside him strangely.

"He was injured, and I heard that he is likely to retire directly."

DeWeese was a little sad, and he lost another legend on the court.

Although Bill Laimbeer is known for his bad style of play, but with two championship rings in his hand, he is undeniably the absolute core of the bad boy team.

Maybe the data is not very good, just a double-double at the best time, but as long as he stays inside, no one dares to attack the Pistons inside.

"It seems that the glorious Pistons team back then was completely torn apart."

In the first year of time travel, DeWeese poached Rodman.Chuck Daly left the Pistons for the Pacers.

The next year, first Joe Dumars was injured, then Isiah Thomas was injured.

This year, Bill Laimbier retired.

The inseparable fight with Jordan back then, the Pistons who invented Jordan's rules, just disappeared into the dust of history.

DeWeese decided to give full play to his 120% strength and give the Pistons a good ride.

At the start of the game, DeWeese forced a breakthrough on Isiah Thomas, went straight to the inside, and dunked the ball over the head of the Pistons' new starting center Polynice.

After the dunk, Davis gave Isiah Thomas a defiant look.

With the breakthrough just now, he could clearly feel that Isiah Thomas couldn't keep up with his speed at all.

Isiah Thomas smiled, and said to his old comrade-in-arms, Joe Dumas, "Joe, I seem to be underestimated by that kid over there."

Joe Dumars smiled, "Then show him your true strength."

DeWeese had just cast a provocative look at Isiah Thomas before seeing him speak to Joe Dumars.

Soon, with a click, the system prompt came.

"Isiah Thomas' talent skill is activated, do you want to check the details?"

Davis was about to look at the details of his talents and skills, but found that Thomas had rushed towards him with the ball.

Before he had time to look at his skills, Davis quickly retreated to the backcourt.

However, Isiah Thomas seemed to be back to his prime, with a light fingertip dribble, wiped past Davis, and then dodged the block of his old teammate Rodman, and used a light lever to go up the ball.

Davis looked at Thomas as if he was ten years younger, and silently called a timeout.

D'Antoni wondered why DeWeese called a timeout at this time. After returning, DeWeese sat on the bench and said to his teammates: "There is something wrong with this Thomas. Let me think about how to deal with him."

Davis closed his eyes and clicked on Thomas' talent skills.

"Smiling Assassin: After activation, speed increases by 10, dribble increases by 10, breakthrough success rate +10."

"King of bad boys: After activation, the success rate of small actions to anger opponents increases by 10, and the success rate of steals increases by 10 (invalid)"

"Is this the strength of the Smiling Assassin back then? This is Thomas who is about to retire." Davis murmured.

"Have you figured it out? Michael, the timeout is coming soon."

Davis opened his eyes, his eyes full of fighting intent.

"Don't worry, he will leave it to me."

Back on the field, DeWeese looked at Thomas and said to him seriously: "I admit that you were very strong at your peak, but now is not your era."

Thomas smiled, his eyes full of rebelliousness back then.

"Come on kid, see if you can take over the point guard scepter from me."

After the magician retired, Thomas was the well-deserved No. [-] point guard in the league. Although Stockton has a strong assist ability, his offensive ability is not as good as Thomas, not even Johnson.

The point guard's 20+10, looking at the entire league, except for the era of data explosion in later generations, can be counted on one hand.

Davis dribbled the ball cautiously. He knew that this little man had a strong ability to steal the ball. After two fake moves forced Thomas to retreat to the three-point line, Davis decisively used the most rogue method, and he began to play Thomas with his back.

Just like that, step by step to the vicinity of the three-second zone, Davis suddenly stopped his movements, and then threw the ball seemingly randomly.

Thomas followed the trajectory of the ball suspiciously, and found a huge figure rising into the air, took the ball, and dunked the ball into the basket through Polynes, who hadn't reacted.

O'Neal, who made a successful lob, came down from the basket and looked at Davis in disbelief.

"Michael, how did you do it?"

Davis smiled and pointed to his forehead.

Looking back at the offense, Davis defended Thomas. Thomas unhurriedly called a pick-and-roll, and he blocked the open space at that moment. Thomas disappeared. He made an emergency stop jumper inside.
