However, in this life, due to historical changes, the overall strength of the piston can no longer be measured by the same period in history.

After veteran Dumas retired, Pistons sophomore Hughes averaged 16.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the regular season this season.

As Grant Hill's right-hand man, Hughes's rapid growth not only reduced Hill's pressure on offense, but also, Hughes is also a very reliable defender when defending.

In addition, as Hill's right-hand arm, Starkhouse, whose confidence has skyrocketed in this life, can always stand up at critical moments.

In addition, Joe Smith, who won the championship with the Raptors last year, broke the inner demon...

To be honest, in Su Feng's opinion, Riley is indeed quite awesome.

Because of the face of such a piston that caused a youth storm, the Heat actually forced the piston into the final life-and-death battle with its tenacious willpower and strict discipline.

So strong!

Riley!

Otherwise, you can work harder and eliminate this piston by the way?

Well, okay, Su Feng’s beautiful fantasy finally failed to become a reality.

On May 4, just as the Raptors were resting and patiently waiting for their opponents in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, another super center from the 90s fell down at the Miami American Airlines Center Arena...

Relying on the excellent performance of three outside muskets working together to score 70 points, the Pistons laughed to the end in their life-and-death battle with the Heat.

The scene where Mourning refused to be replaced by Riley in the fourth quarter also became a classic.

At that time, since the Heat were already 20 points behind the Pistons when they were about to finish the game with only 3 minutes left, Riley decided to replace Mo Ning in order to leave Mo Ning for the final face.

However, for Tiehan Mo Ning, he didn't want such a face at all.

"I can still fight! Don't replace me!"

On the sidelines, looking at Mo Ning with a persistent look on his face, Riley finally chose to respect the warrior's decision after sighing.

Of course, unlike a background board in New York, because Mourning did not give up at the last moment, the Miami fans at the scene were all infected by Mourning's spirit.

At the end of the game, the Heat fans stood up and presented their applause to Mooning.

On TNT TV, Smith couldn't help but tease: "I don't know what Patrick will feel after seeing this scene?"

Oh...

What else do you think about Ewing?

Could it be that he can still tear his tears on the plane?

Get back to the point.

After the Pistons advanced to the semi-finals and met the Raptors, the semi-final matchups in the east and west this year have been fully released.

First of all, in the East, in addition to this round of the Raptors and Pistons, the Celtics and the Pacers also met in another half.

After the Celtics and Pacers were released, many people in the market were curious whether Bird could lead this Pacers to kill his mentor and his old club.

In the West, after the Mavericks eliminated the Spurs 3-1 and the Lakers eliminated the Supersonics 3-0, the two teams will compete for a ticket to the Western Conference Semi-Finals.

As for the other half of the west, the Jazz faces the Trail Blazers.

Since the semi-finals, the 5-game 3-game game will become 7-game 4-game game, so for the eight teams entering the eastern and western semi-finals, the next game is the real test.

Especially those teams that are determined to win the championship.

In 7 games with a 4-win match, they often have to face their opponents in front of them, but also whether they can advance first than their opponents in the next round is also the key to whether they can reach the end.

According to the schedule, the Raptors and Pistons' divisional semi-finals will start on the 6th.

In terms of the team's physical fitness, the Raptors are undoubtedly the better side.

After all, after eliminating the Knicks, the Raptors players have been resting for almost a week.

In contrast, the Pistons, who had just finished the life-and-death battle with the Heat, only had one day off.

Therefore, after the playoff semi-final matchup results were released, Davis, D'Antoni and Rivers all believed that the Raptors had no excuse to lose in the G1 game.

On the 5th, the Raptors did not arrange training, and Davis hopes that the team can play a good start in the semi-finals in the best condition.

On the 6th, in the crowded Route Center Arena, the Raptors ushered in the G1 match of this year's playoff semi-finals.

Before the game, during the warm-up, Starkhouse, Hill, and Joe Smith took the initiative to come forward and say hello to Su Feng.

Because Starkhouse and Joe Smith have both been teammates with Su Feng, during the chat before the game, both of them joked to Su Feng that they had told Su Feng about Su Feng's weaknesses to Pistons head coach Rick Carlisle.

Although he was joking about this, this conversation made Su Feng more and more alert.

Because Su Feng, who knows a lot about future history, is very clear that Carlisle is by no means an ordinary person.

Su Feng's previous life, as one of the future NBA coaches, in the 2008/09 season, after arriving in Dallas, Carlisle not only quickly cleaned up the mess left by young general Johnson, but also led the unpopular Mavericks to defeat the Heat in the Finals in the 2011 season.

In addition, although Larry Brown was indeed instructed to exchange for Rashid Wallace, if it were not for Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Prince and others left by Carlisle, even if Brown would build a defensive system, it would be difficult for the Pistons to be famous in history.

Moreover, Carlisle, who is good at building a team, is not the kind of stubborn academic coach.

This season, after he took over the team's coaching point from Alvin Gentry, the Pistons' three-point shots and hits ushered in a qualitative leap.

In Carlisle's coaching resume, three-pointers have always been a weapon he likes very much.

Of course, unlike an offensive coach like D'Antoni and Old Nelson, because balanced offense and defense is the kingdom that Carlisle pursues, he is also good at building a team's defensive system.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 10/11 season, the Mavericks built a wall of sighs around Tyson Chandler that made the emperor and Wade desperate.

Therefore, in Su Feng's heart, Carlisle's dangerous level can definitely be among the top five in the league today.

"Oh, is this the punishment of the world line for me?"

On the court, while warming up, looking at Carlisle who coached the Pistons two years in advance, at this moment, Su Feng couldn't help feeling the bitter fruits of changing history without authorization.

Because of Carlesimo's lack of strength in this life, Carlisle, who should have been his assistant coach, also decided in advance to be the head coach.

Coincidentally, because Carlisle's coaching philosophy coincides with the Pistons, Gentry led the team just after a series of losses this season...

What Gentry never expected was that his straight defeat not only did not allow him to get interest, but also made him lose the Pistons' coach position directly.

In short, compared to last year, the Raptors will face powerful challenges starting from the semi-finals this year.

On the court, after chatting with Hill for a few minutes, Su Feng also returned to the bench and quietly waited for the arrival of the entry.

In Su Feng's previous life, when many Hills whispered Hill, Su Feng always felt that these people were blowing their heads.

But this life...

You may not believe it if you say it.

Now the number one in this league is Hill...

It was Su Feng himself.

In the regular season, Hill, who averaged 26 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game, may not be as good as many juniors in the future after the era of data surge.

However, please don't doubt Hill's strength because of this.

Because, this is definitely a top supercar with a catapult start faster than McGrady.

Due to his overly gentlemanly personality, many Hill fans are like Hill, who don’t like to argue with others about how strong Hill is.

However, for Su Feng, who regarded Hill as his idol in his early years, even if he had developed a "three-piece set" in the past four years, he would not think that his strength was far above Hill.

As early as before the first round of this year's playoffs, Su Feng had already foreseen the difficulty of this year's semi-finals.

In the Route Center Arena, DJ Martin ended his introduction to the players of the two teams tonight with his subwoofer-like sound. The big screen on the scene gave the starting list of both sides tonight.

Pistons: Trimells, Joe Smith, Hill, Starkhouse, Hughes.

Raptors: Big Ben, O'Neal Jr., Su Feng, Carter, McGrady.

TNT TV, during the pre-match preview, Smith said: "Tonight, no player in the starting lineup was more than 210 cm tall. This is the first time in this year's playoffs."

On the side, Derek echoed: "For a long time, tall players have dominated this league, but since the Raptors won the championship with a small lineup last year, this year we have found that many teams have begun to imitate the Raptors."

In the center of the stadium, Da Ben and Mills have already stood in the middle circle.

And a few seconds later, a scene that surprised McGrady.

because......

The Raptors are the first to attack tonight!
