After losing to the Lakers, the Pistons easily defeated the Grizzlies and Raptors, and tonight, at the Palace of Auburn Hills, they will meet their bitter rival Chicago Bulls who sent them out of the playoffs last season.

However, the Bulls at this time are no longer the suffocating dominant team of last season.

This season, the Bulls are full of uncertain factors, just like the Pistons last season.

At first, the team management wanted to exchange Pippen with other teams, then Pippen was very dissatisfied with his salary, and then Jackson and Klaus fell out; At the pinnacle of his career, but at the same time Jordan inevitably turned into a whirlpool of contradictions.

During the 1997-98 season, reporters could dig up "valuable" news from the Bulls almost every week: the "insider" incident at the beginning of the season, Jordan's sharp mouth caused tremendous pressure on his teammates, the stubborn Blair (" If you win, I can tell your kids that you beat Jordan, and if I beat you, what will I say to my kids?”); in the middle of the season, people heard Pippen’s transfer request and Rodman’s complaints, but The most striking thing was Jordan's insults to Krause on the team bus; even if it was very close to the championship, this "split family" was still full of discordant notes.

Before the start of the season, Pippen announced back surgery, which means he will miss half of the season.

What he did was a betrayal of Jordan.

In fact, after winning the championship in 97, Jordan had the idea of ​​​​retiring. It was Pippen who tried his best to invite him to return to the team to help him back up, so he returned to the Bulls, but on the eve of the season, Pippen suddenly made this decision. , Put the whole burden of the team on him.

Jordan can't stop this, he can only carry the team forward, and then wait for Pippen to return, but Pippen has recently had a quarrel with Klaus, and repeatedly said to reporters: "I will not wear the Bulls jersey again. !"

This casts a lingering shadow over the Bulls' three-peat.

And tonight, they have to face the hostile Pistons.

Barkley has completed the task assigned to him by Frauses: lose weight.And it was overfulfilled, Frauses asked him to pick up 125 kilograms, and his current weight is 123 kilograms.

"I like that number," Dumars said. "Charles, you should always keep your weight at that number."

Barkley laughed: "I will try my best!"

Before the start of the game, Barkley came to the midfield and said hello to Jordan: "Man, I heard that you have not been very good recently."

Jordan chewed his gum and said, "It's much better than someone suspended from the team."

The middle-aged man who was still fat after losing weight said angrily: "Very well, I wanted to comfort you at first, but it seems that there is no need for it."

"Comfort me?" Jordan opened his palm, "How many rings did you get? Why do you comfort me?"

These words made Barkley blush with anger: "It's great to have a ring? Isn't it something that was washed down the sewer by Bill Lambiel!"

"He flushed the ring down the drain because he's already a champion, and he's a champion even without the ring, and that title won't go away, just like if I flush my ring down the drain, neither will my reputation. Damaged, and you haven't won a ring so far, that's the truth." Jordan damaged Barkley so much that he was born twice.

Seeing the dead fat man in a rage, his teammates all felt absurd.

Tonight's game has an extra layer of meaning thanks to the arrival of Chuck Daly.

The man who once made Jordan suffer so much, the man who once led the Pistons to the summit for the second time, is now sitting in the commentary booth, explaining the game with his disciple Vinier Johnson.

"Coach, what do you think of the Pistons this season?" Johnson asked.

Daly still has a competitive big back and an extremely well-fitting suit. When he heard this question, he smiled and said: "It is very hopeful. The era of young people has come, and the veteran superstar headed by Michael They're a year older."

They talked about the game, and the game began with boos from the crowd to the Bulls.

Ratliff made a rare jump ball.

Mo Mengchen came to the top of the arc alone, and Harper, who was old and frail, was in charge of the defense.

"Meet you again, Ethan, can I ask you for an autograph for my child?"

Old Harper wanted to disturb Mo Mengchen with his trash talk.

"I'm not interested in signing an old man like you." After Mo Mengchen's words fell, Barkley and Ratliff ran to the high position at the same time to perform a pick-and-roll.

At this time, Houston stands in the left corner and Hill stands in the right corner.

Such a V-shaped offense is not perfect, because Hill's three-point threat is very mediocre.

However, Mo Mengchen didn't want to come up and showed his hole cards. He didn't pass the ball to Hill or Houston.

Because Harper couldn't keep up with him, his follow-up acceleration was unimaginably fast, passing every opponent around him at once.

"A layup like the wind!"

"From Dor. Mo!"

Adrian jumped up and yelled, "Strike!"

Mo Mengchen ran back, and he saw Alichel Rohrwach again. This woman is really persistent, and she cheers him on in the front row every home game.

If this continues, God will be moved by him, right?
Pippen can't play. The Bulls will play most of the games this season with Kukoc at the 3rd position.

But his defense was less than one-tenth of Pippen's.

Without Pippen, the offense should be concentrated in Jordan's hands too much.

Mo Mengchen saw through the Bulls' ball transfer route, so he let Houston block in advance, and when the ball passed, he knew what to do.

The conduction ball on the outside of the Bulls seemed to open up the space, but in fact, all of them fell into the opponent's eyes.

"Snapped!"

When the ball arrived, Houston was ready.

He slapped his hands down fiercely, knocked the ball away, and set off a counterattack.

"Back!" Jordan yelled.

It's too late, they are one of the oldest teams in the league, such an old team wants to compete with the young Pistons?That was definitely thankless.

Houston immediately passed the ball to Mo Mengchen.

Mo Mengchen took the ball, locked onto Hill in front of him, and threw it out forcefully.

Hill jumped up and scored a dunk.

"Detroit's offense is playing well, starting 4-0."

After Johnson finished speaking, Daly took up his words.

"In my era, once the Bulls were beaten 4-0 or higher, Michael usually chose to take over. Combined with the current situation, they can only let Michael take over."

But Michael is 34 years old, and he has to allocate his energy well.

Daly's eyes fell on Jordan, whose team was like a nightmare for the opponent.

He finally destroyed the nightmare with his own hands, which is also one of the highlights of his great career.

The Bulls gave up the complicated run.

Jordan just stops in the low post, then comes up high, traps Houston's body, and Harper passes the ball over.

The flying man took the ball, but the CIC king dared not move.

"It's been a few months, and you don't seem to be making much progress."

After Jordan finished speaking tauntingly, he started to shoot.

"Shh!"

This is a long-distance two-pointer, which was a three-pointer last season.

"You're alone, we're not afraid!" Houston yelled.

"I don't agree with what you say!" Rodman passed by here, in front of the referee, under the watchful eyes of the audience, he suddenly sent a fierce slam.

"Beep!"

Undoubtedly a technical foul.

Rodman once brought glory to this arena, but at the moment he is the most hated person by fans. Even some old fans who have seen Rodman wearing a Piston player have very complicated feelings at this time.

"Chuck, what do you think of Dennis' T?" Johnson asked.

Daly looked softly at Rodman, the man he personally brought into the league, single-handedly promoted, and eventually became one of the most personal players in the history of the NBA, who is now notorious.

"Dennis isn't as bad as we thought, he's just a little bit shy," Daly said. "One of the ways he manipulates the game is the way he messes around on the court."

Houston stood up with an angry expression on his face: "That bastard!"

"If you get angry, his goal has been achieved, you have to relax." Mo Mengchen emphasized repeatedly.

You have to believe that the wicked have their own grind.

Houston wanted the ball to attack, but Mo Mengchen gestured for him to be patient and let others open up the space. Barkley was already in place.

"Look, he can't keep me at all!"

After Barkley got the ball, he rudely hit it in.

Rodman is the evil axis of the Bulls' entire defensive system, but his single defense is not impeccable. Facing most of the excellent insiders in the 90s, his single defense restriction effect is not good.

This is his shortcoming. After all, his stature is here. Against a small tank like Barkley, or a titan like Malone, he can limit some of the rounds, but expecting him to kill these stars inside is like counting on hope. It's an unrealistic wish to suddenly become a lethal three-shooter like Reggie Miller.

This round, Barkley destroyed Rodman's defense.

Usually, Pippen came to help defend, but this time Jordan's position was too far away, and Houston took him to the corner on the other side, making it impossible for him to go to help.

Barkley's offense overwhelmed Rodman, slamming the score over his head.

"You jumping clown, give me another try!" Barkley yelled at the tiger.

Rodman sneered: "I can do whatever I want, you don't care!"

"If you shoot my teammates again, I will kill you, I promise!" Barkley said fiercely.

It's okay to kill him, just don't foul him.

Mo Mengchen said in his heart.
