The Pistons have the resilience of the league. This grassroots team is never afraid of powerful opponents. They have hunted the Celtics led by Bird Bird, and have beaten the Purple Gold Nobles commanded by Magic Johnson. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Bulls Iron Master, who was personally led by the Flying Jordan, for eight consecutive years, blocked the Bulls Iron Master from outside the finals for eight years.

Although the bad boys that once brought infinite glory to Detroit have all retired, the bloodlines of Isaiah Thomas, Joe Dumas, Ranbir and Rodman have continued in Billups. Although the Warriors performed well, the Pistons quickly adjusted and maintained their strong combat effectiveness.

Chamberlain knew that his teammates had consumed too much energy when they played against the Spurs yesterday, so he wanted to destroy the Pistons' fighting spirit as soon as possible. So in the rest of the first quarter, he strengthened his attack strength and repeatedly fought hard in the inside. He beat Mike Dais to survive and die, and had to double-team him with Rashid.

After the first quarter, the Warriors led the Pistons by double digits 30:20, but this did not cause the bad boys' despair and panic. They remained calm and were led by Billups to counterattack at the beginning of the second quarter.

Ben Wallace is just the Pistons' defensive core. If you want to talk about offense, as long as Billups is still there, the team can still maintain firepower.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Billups beat Louis, who came on as a substitute, and made a three-pointer. After a three-pointer, he stole Louis' pass two rounds and made a quick break. Billups' consecutive score sounded the Pistons' counterattack horn, Rashid and Hamilton took action one after another, and the Pistons blossomed in full swing and stabilized the game.

This stability was twenty-four minutes. After the first three quarters, the Warriors gained a lead, but they only led by four points at 72:68. This was based on Ellis hitting a buzzer-beating three-pointer before the end of the third quarter, otherwise their lead would be only one point.

The problem of the Warriors began to be exposed, that is, they were not physically strong, not only because of back-to-back combat, but also because they were too desperate to pursue the No. 1 record in the West in November, and the players' physical strength was greatly reduced.

The only one who is still alive is Chamberlain. He inherited the perverted body of Jacky Cheung, and his attack firepower is relatively poor. Most of his energy is on the defensive end, so he can still maintain strong physical strength.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Old Nelson replaced the team's real main players, Chamberlain, Ellis, Jackson and Azubuk were all on the court, and Evans was added. This guy is also a physically rude man who can help Chamberlain grab rebounds.

The ball in the fourth quarter was from the Warriors. Evans served the ball to Azubuk, and Billups slowly retreated vigilantly. The veteran also fought for 36 minutes in a row. It was precisely because of his presence that ensured that the Pistons' combat effectiveness remained unabated.

Billups has experienced and good awareness of defense. He saw through several tests by Azubuk, so he could only pass the ball to Ellis who came up to pick him up.

Looking at the strong Billups, old Nelson kept rubbing his chin and stubborn. This was not the ideal small-point guard in his heart, because Billups was too calm and had too balanced offense and defense to play crazy basketball. But now with Chamberlain, he didn't plan to do pure running and shooting, so Billups became the first point guard in his heart.

"I heard that the Detroits plan to push the team down and rebuild. They don't want the boy Billups?" Old Nelson asked his son, Nelson Jr. He was not as good as his son in the league's gossip. The latter is most keen to contact the uniform groups of each team. He will get any trouble in the league as soon as possible.

Nelson Jr. was stunned and nodded and said, "It's true. Someone told me that Detroit and Houston are having a deal. It seems that the Detroits want to get the Maddie guy. They are willing to hand over any player on the team. No one is their non-sale product."

Ellis charged with the ball, Billups and Hamilton completed the switch and followed him all the way to the basket from behind. Ellis took off, and Billups knocked him with his strong body, squeezed him so hard that he could not balance the move. The ball bounced out of the basket, and Mark Hill, who came on the bench, grabbed the rebound.

Seeing this scene, Old Nelson smacked his lips and finally made up his mind to say, "Go and quote them a price and ask if they are interested in exchanging point guards with us."

Nelson was shocked and whispered: "No, Dad, are you going to send Byron away? That guy is the ace in your hand. As long as he recovers from his health, he and Z join forces, he will definitely bring the team to the championship!"

Old Nelson shook his head, and he glanced at Byron Davis, who was sitting behind the bench in a suit, who looked expressionless and played with his cell phone listlessly, as if the one who was fighting for the desperate situation on the field was not his brother.

"Byron has always been the boss here, but now I want Z to be the boss. He won't be willing to be the second, so I will let him go to another team to be the boss and find a player who is willing to be the second to come to Oakland to help Z." Old Nelson finally made up his mind that since his injury, Davis' performance has disappointed him too much.

Nelson little hesitated and said in embarrassment: "Will the Detroits be willing? They are determined to get McGrady."

Old Nelson sneered and said contemptuously: "Will the Houstonians give up the cash cow of McGrady? Naive! Go and offer the Detroits. If they are determined to rebuild, then Byron is their golden choice. You must know that Byron's contract will end in only five months."

Nelson Jr. was stunned and then remembered that this year was Byron Davis' contract year. Indeed, if the Pistons were to rebuild, Davis' contract could give them the greatest opportunity. At that time, they could free up 20 million yuan in salary, which could not only get a big fish in the free market or exchange it for a high-quality draft pick.

In fact, when he was going to trade Bidlins, Old Nelson scored a goal for the Pistons. He originally planned to use Bidlins and Byron Davis to exchange these two players for Rashid and Billups in the future. This deal is not a fantasy. Being younger than Dielins is a potential stock, absolutely good quality and low price. Davis is the year of the contract, and the end of the contract can help the Pistons rebuild.

But when Old Nelson had this idea in his mind, Davis was suddenly injured. According to NBA regulations, players were injured and traded forbidden, so he had to give up. Otherwise, if this deal was reached, Chamberlain + Rashid + Billups + Ellis + Jackson would be the perfect championship rhythm.

The two whispered under the court, and the storm was still there, and the two teams were still in a stalemate. No matter how hard Chamberlain tried, he could not get rid of the Pistons. He finally dunked and scored two points. Hamilton immediately followed the mid-range shot and caught up with two points. Ellis made a three-pointer from a long shot, and Billups broke through and scored 2+1 at the basket...

The score just reached 80:72, but soon became 74:80. The Warriors tried their best to score the score to 83:74. Then the Pistons immediately tied the score to 77:83. Billups even planned a counterattack and kept chasing the score to 86:87, which scared Chamberlain to sweat all over.

The score was stalemate for a while, and Chamberlain became obviously anxious. As a result, when he was playing Mark Hill, he turned to the layup and was seized by Billups, who had slipped up from the baseline, and he seized the opportunity to steal the ball. Fortunately, Barnes entangled Hamilton, who missed the mid-range shot, and Chamberlain grabbed the rebound and made up for his mistakes.

Seeing that his subordinates were in chaos, Old Nelson decisively asked for a substitute. He was too familiar with the Pistons. What this team is best at destroying the opponent's beliefs with a free-to-play heavy pressure rhythm, and then seize the opportunity to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop and easily win the final victory.

According to league statistics, when the score gap between the two sides is within five points, the Pistons are the best team in the first six minutes of the final game, while the Rockets are the team that is most likely to collapse in the final quarter. If they do not lead their opponents twice in the first three quarters, the Rockets generally lose in the game.

Old Nelson used the last long timeout in his hand. He first let the players rest for ten seconds before he spoke up and arranged the tactics: "Young men, don't worry, defend, and give me the rest of the time to defend! Z, you and Reggie are optimistic about rebounds. As long as the rebounds are not lost, this game will not be lost!"

This is how the tactics are arranged, and so is old Nelson. Barnes and Harrington, who had rested for most of the third and fourth quarters, returned to the court, while Ellis was substituted.

In terms of tactical arrangements, Old Nelson broke out a street of Sanders. As everyone speculated before the game, the physical strength of Warriors players was almost exhausted when they went on the court against the Spurs, especially Ellis.

Old Nelson did not start Ellis in this game, but made him the sixth man. Ellis also completed this task very well. He has played in the middle of the second quarter until now, and has scored 18 points in 20 minutes of appearance, with very high efficiency.

After receiving the instructions from Old Nelson, Chamberlain calmed down a lot and no longer blindly hosted the offense after he came on the court. The Warriors passed the ball in an orderly manner, but they had no choice but to Chamberlain to handle it inside or allow outside players to shoot. Chamberlain and Evans stared at the rebounds to ensure the team's rebounds.

Originally, the Pistons were used to transforming into armored chariots at the last moment of the game and using iron-blooded defense to force their opponents. As a result, the Warriors became a solid piece of iron, and they also controlled the rebounding ball, so the Pistons had no choice.

In the last minute, the Pistons had to foul the game, but that was useless. The initiative was in the hands of the Warriors in the last few minutes. One minute before the end of the game, the Warriors led by a full tenth with 94:84.

The Pistons fouled Chamberlain and Evans and sent them to the free throw line. After the ball was converted, they quickly broke into the frontcourt, including Billups and Hamilton, who took turns to make three-pointers. But it was not so easy to hit a three-pointer, especially they had to face the outside iron curtain defense composed of Barnes and Jackson.

At the end of the game, the referee blew the whistle and the Warriors took the final victory 98:92. Seeing the rebound turn red, Chamberlain can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The game was too difficult, but the first five minutes of the game was the easiest. The next forty-three minutes was an arduous tug-of-war, which was the hardest battle that Chamberlain had encountered since entering the league.
