Chapter 79 Daily life waiting for the playoffs ([-])

"Quick, the basketball moves faster. Eddie, haven't you eaten yet.

Jane Nellen, Arthur is the first point of contact, it takes me a few times to understand.

Jaylen, people from Detroit are not as gentle as Eric, so be tough on me. "

Cartwright is training with the Bulls players.Since it was determined that the opponent in the first round was the Pistons, Cartwright has entered a very wonderful state.

Speaking of it, being able to bring the Bulls, who had only [-] wins last season and lost last year's No. [-] pick and main point guard in the offseason, to the playoffs is enough to ensure that Cartwright's coaching position is as stable as Mount Tai.

However, as a head coach who pursues excellence, who would be afraid of his own performance?

So although Cartwright knew that his team would not be the opponent of the Pistons, he still worked very hard to spur the team.

There is always a dream, no matter how unreliable it is, what if God gets drunk one day and makes it come true.Cartwright thought so.

"Coach, you don't really plan to fight the Pistons, do you?" Pippen stood beside him curiously.

"Yeah, Scott, what's wrong?" Cartwright looked at Pippen a little strangely.

Pippen choked on Cartwright's words, what's wrong, what the hell is wrong.What's the matter with you, they are the Pistons, and they can wrestle with teams like the Lakers and Spurs. Have you forgotten the record of being swept in the regular season?Although I am still in the Bulls, the Bulls no longer have Michael.

Cartwright was delighted when he saw Pippen's expression: "I know what you're thinking? Scott, of course I'm not so arrogant that I think I can handle the Pistons. After all, we don't have Michael anymore, and you are not at your peak. But Scott, you are in good shape this year, are you really going to stop playing for another year?"

To be honest, when he heard that Pippen planned to retire, Cartwright refused in his heart.This season's Pippen can be said to be in a very good state after returning to the light.

Played 73 games throughout the season, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, scoring 9.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists.Shooting 47.2% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range, can you expect more from an old man who is almost 39 years old?

Pippen's contribution on the court is not limited to this statistic. He is the second head of the Bulls dynasty era and has a very high reputation throughout Chicago and even the entire league.With him, the Bulls have a very qualified locker room leader and court regulator.

It can be said that the reason why the Bulls can complete the transformation this season.The first hero is Wang Shipeng, the second hero is Curry, and the third is Pippen.

A warm color flashed in Pippen's eyes, leaving the court he loved, Pippen himself had hesitation and struggle.He is very aware of his physical condition, and he dare not say more, and it will be no problem to play for another season or two.pity……

Pippen still smiled and waved his hand: "No, my knee tells me I should leave. If you keep hitting, it should go on strike."

Cartwright looked at Pippen. As the team's head coach, he knew the physical condition of the team's players very well.Pippen's body will definitely not prevent him from playing 256 minutes per game, so his insistence on leaving may be related to the changes in the team's top management.

Since the meritorious general manager Jerry Krause, who created the Bulls dynasty last year, resigned due to health reasons, disputes over the rights of the top management have intensified.Owner Jerry seems to have his son as team president to manage the idea of ​​the team.And Cartwright knew that Pippen and Jerry's son had been feuding.It seems that the kid seduced Pippen's wife Sarah back then.

Cartwright nodded, but did not speak.There are some things that we have to wait until we have fully figured it out.

"Rest!" The team's assistant coach in charge of controlling the time stopped the training.Wang Shipeng and others immediately sat on the court floor out of breath.

"Arthur, I suspect that the coach is probably a spy of the Detroit people. He wants to practice us before the game, so that the Pistons can directly advance."

Wang Shipeng rolled his eyes, and seeing Douglas approaching with a serious face, he thought he had something important to say, but he didn't expect it to be nonsense again.

"But speaking of the Pistons, Arthur, the Detroiters are tough to deal with. We don't have much hope."

The corners of Wang Shipeng's mouth twitched twice, the Detroit people are of course very difficult to deal with.I am afraid that no one here is more aware of their strength than themselves.That was the team that overturned the Lakers F4.Without them, the Lakers OK may not even disintegrate.

Wang Shipeng remembered that in his previous life, as a big fan, he had studied the main players of the Pistons out of curiosity.

Center Ben Wallace, a defensive wizard who meets once in 20 years, and the contemporary Rodman, a fierce man who won four DPOYs in five years.

Power forward Rasheed Wallace, the No. 95 pick in [-], one of the pioneers of space-based power forwards, and a master of inside skills.

The Pistons team composed of double Wallace has the toughest bones in the league inside.Even top insiders like O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett can't easily get out of Auburn Hills.

Small forward Tayshaun Prince, last year's rookie, is a good defender with long arms and legs.Prince's spider-like long arms are a nightmare for forwards and guards. If his body is not strong enough, it may be difficult for the little emperor to break into the finals in 07.

Shooting guard Richard Hamilton, a master of mid-range shooting and a master of running.A well-known physical monster in the alliance.Relying on a body that never seems to get tired, superb running skills and precise mid-range shots, Hamilton has maintained his scoring average at around 18 points per game for many years in a row.

Point guard Billups, another typical example of getting older and more demonic.Billups may not be able to average 10+ assists per game like Kidd or Nash to win the assist king, nor can he average 20+ or ​​even 25+ per game like Iverson.

Billups is another point guard, and his role is not reflected by the data.As long as he stands on the court, he can control the rhythm in his own hands.Let the team play at a comfortable pace.

Just think about it, the Pistons with Billups are always a strong contender for the Eastern Conference championship and even the championship.And the Pistons, who lost Billups, instantly became a frequent visitor to the lottery zone, and they haven't recovered for more than ten years.The Nuggets, who got Billups, broke into the Western Conference Finals in one fell swoop.Even if Kobe and the Lakers were not so against the sky that year, it is not yet known how far the Nuggets can go.

Thinking of these, Wang Shipeng was a little distressed, how can people play with this.
