God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 486 Detroit Dynasty

The Pistons remained quiet throughout the offseason. Manning's retirement did not disrupt their deployment, and it was consolation for the veteran to realize his championship dream in the last season of his career.Now the Pistons have Thomas and Diaw at the fourth position. Under Chang Wei's strong suggestion, the Pistons signed Mourning who had just undergone a kidney transplant as a supplement.

When he was still in the 76ers, Chang Wei suggested that Brown recruit Mourning under his command. Unfortunately, Riley's asking price was too high, and the two sides failed to negotiate.However, out of respect for this veteran, Chang Wei still left him an enhanced version of Liuwei Dihuang Wan, which can significantly improve kidney problems. transplant.

But having said that, it is precisely because of this that the Pistons can recruit this former iron-blooded insider with a basic salary of a veteran. Brown believes that Chang Wei can restore Mourning to normal.Fortunately, Thomas and Dior have already occupied most of the playing time, so Mourning has the opportunity to implement Chang Wei's recovery plan.

In addition to attracting Mourning, the Pistons have almost no personnel changes.Of course, with their strong performance in winning the championship last season, many teams called Dumars, hoping to inquire about the price of the transaction.But Dumars is also a fine man, he will never make a shot without a particularly good bargaining chip, which also allows the Pistons to retain their championship lineup to the greatest extent.Chang Wei appreciates Dumars' persistence, but he also believes that if there is a suitable offer, it is not impossible to trade.

It is indeed very stable to maintain a lineup for a long time, and it is very important for the championship team, but in Chang Wei's view, let's not mention the level of James and Duncan. In front of him, it is absolutely impossible for him to remain calm. The Pistons are strong, and the talents of the players are relatively inferior.

Fortunately, the Pistons basically have no comparable opponents in the league. Even if the Cavaliers poach O'Neal to rise rapidly, they will not be able to threaten their dominance in the East for the time being. The hurricane of the Pistons in the 04-05 season once again proved this point. They came to the forefront of the Eastern Conference from the beginning of the season, and they were firmly ranked first in the Eastern Conference before the end of 2004.

In fact, this is also due to Chang Wei's training of the Pistons. For a defensive team, injuries are a difficult problem to solve. After all, they are passive most of the time during the game.However, with the help of the system, Chang Wei has minimized the possibility of them suffering injuries. Even if they are really unlucky, Chang Wei can greatly shorten the time for the unlucky ones to recover from injury, at least not against the ball. What substantive impact will the team's regular season journey have.

The 2005 All-Star Pistons still have many people selected, and Wade is the most worthy of attention.As the sixth man of the Pistons, he was selected as a substitute for the Eastern Conference All-Star, which made the head coaches of other teams jealous.Most of the starters are All-Stars, and now there is an All-Star on the bench. Isn't this too bullying?When did it become so easy to be an All-Star?
Of course, the local media in Detroit will not be so sour, they will only tout the strength of the Pistons.For them, there is no better news than the Pistons' defending title, and it is normal for the team's sixth man to be selected as an All-Star.

After the regular season, the Pistons once again ranked first in the league with a record of 63 wins and 19 losses, and they still reached the Eastern Conference Finals unstoppably, while their opponents were the Cavaliers led by James and O'Neal.Facing the Pistons, O'Neal struggled to get back on the field. The scene of losing in the finals last season was still vivid in his memory, but he found to his dismay that the overall strength of the Pistons was much stronger than that of the Cavaliers. His best partner James was in Prynne Under the entanglement of Si, he can do almost nothing, and he himself is powerless.

Although the Cavaliers interrupted the Pistons' playoff winning streak again, they only won one game at their own home court. In the end, they still watched the Pistons reach the finals for the second consecutive year with a total score of 1 to 4.The defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals also stimulated the Cavaliers' management. They are determined to build a more competitive lineup around the Sharks during the offseason.

However, for the Pistons, there is no need to consider what the Cavaliers will look like next season. They must directly face the opponents of the Finals, the Spurs.After another season of running-in, the GDP combination has become more mature, and Popovich is also a top coach whose ability is no less than Brown.In the first two games of the finals, the two sides fought to a 2-2 tie, and each defended its own home court. However, after struggling to win the Tianwangshan battle, the Pistons made persistent efforts, relying on Wade's mid-range shot lore to win 4-2. The total score defeated the Spurs, won the O'Brien Cup for the second consecutive year, and Wade was crowned FMVP.

After two consecutive championships, the Pistons inevitably encountered poaching from many teams. In addition to improving their own strength, they still hope to dismantle the Pistons' championship lineup.Unexpectedly, it was Hamilton who finally left. The shooting master inevitably competed with Wade for the starting position in the past season. Dumars still chose the younger and more talented Wade.

Fortunately, the Pistons did not suffer. They weighed and chose to make a deal with the Hornets. They sent Hamilton and Diaw to New Orleans in exchange for the Hornets' 2005 No. 2005 pick and David Wayne, who had received Chang Wei's special training. ster. 2005 was not recognized as a big draft year, and the Hornets were eager to produce results. The acquisition of Hamilton allowed them to finally have their own core.But only Chang Wei knows what the team has lost. In the [-] draft, the Pistons selected Duncan's junior, a small point guard Paul from Wake Forest University, and let him serve as a point guard in the bench. ball guard.

The joining of Paul and West further improved the strength of the Pistons. Although the team also lost Hamilton and Diaw, Wade filled Hamilton's vacancy and could play the second position he was best at in his previous life. Paul became the The commander of the bench lineup is what he has always dreamed of, and Hamilton has become the boss of the team. It can be said that everyone is happy.

With this more talented lineup, the Pistons once again successfully advanced to the finals with three 4-0s, and swept Dirk Nowitzki's Mavericks to win the championship. The playoff record of 16 wins and 0 losses ranked first in history .According to NBA practice, they have won the O'Brien Cup for three consecutive times and they are already qualified to call themselves a dynasty team.
