Chapter 503: This is stable

In the 2000 Finals, O'Neal, who was in full swing against the Indiana Pacers.

In order to limit the omnipotent "Big Shark", the Indiana Pacers gave him 40 chances to stand on the free throw line.

That night, the Sharks "lived down on expectations" and shot 18 of 40 free throws.

It created the most free throws in the playoffs in NBA history.

Although he scored 40 points and 24 rebounds in that game, he gave his opponent a crushing defeat.

But at least his free throws have given him a chance and thoughts on his phone.

Chen Cheng was just thinking about not leaving the Pistons tonight, and he would accept all the free throws as long as he gave them.

Forced Larry Brown to reach the fourth quarter and could only point the signs of fouls at other Bobcats players.

Since Howard and Gerrard were targeted by their opponents for free throws, they have signed up for free throw training classes at Chen Cheng.

The effect is quite good. Howard's free throw shooting percentage remained stable at around 75% during the playoffs, and Gerald's free throw shooting percentage increased to 80%.

This completely lost its power to the Pistons' "slashing tactic" in the last moment.

Regardless of whether the home fans are willing to accept it, the two of their most hated people will be taken away from Auburn Hills Palace tonight.

With more than 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Chen Cheng made his fifth three-pointer in this game and widened the gap between the two teams to 18 points.

Although Larry Brown is unwilling to make personnel rotation in advance, Old Nelson has replaced Chen Cheng first.

When playing against a team like the Pistons, you must protect the top star of your team at any time.

In the end, Chen Cheng won the third victory of the Eastern Conference Finals with another 42-point performance.

Not only did they hold the match points, but they also expanded their playoff winning streak to 11 games.

After the game, Boss Qiao satisfied and left Detroit.

In the next game, he doesn't want to come and doesn't need it at all.

All signs show that the Pistons have no strength or method to deal with the Bobcats at all, and 3:0 is like an unresolved curse, becoming a nightmare for all the teams behind.

As the playoffs continue to deepen, Chen Cheng's personal influence has increased unprecedentedly.

Since Jordan, no one in the NBA has ever been able to achieve such an abnormal result.

I have played in the playoffs until now and have not lost yet.

O'Neal, who was guest at the TNT program and had been eliminated, claimed that the reason why the Bobcats were able to get to the present is because they were benefiting from the schedule.

If they met the Heat in the semi-finals, then the ones who went fishing now must be these kittens.

Barkley responded mercilessly: "There is nothing if, even if there is, the direction of the script should be Shaq leading the Heat to defeat the Pistons and then meeting the Bobcats in the Eastern Conference Finals. Instead of sitting here as a guest of the show."

Sir Charles' mouth can always hit the shark's weakness with one blow. O'Neal couldn't catch it for a long time, so he could only accept the disadvantage.

The Eastern Conference Finals reached this point, and the guests unanimously agreed that the Pistons had no chance.

The Bobcats should consider their next opponent, who is the finals opponent.

The Western Conference Finals, which was originally quite evenly matched, suddenly changed in the third game.

The cornerstone of the Spurs, Tim Duncan, was hit by the fallen Sir in the knee during a defense, causing his knee to sprain. He left the court halfway through the game and did not return.

Although it is a home game, the lack of Duncan's Spurs is equivalent to losing half of the country.

The Suns, who were played away, made a big move and scored 2:1.

After the game, Popovich, who attended the press conference, said that Duncan's situation still needs further inspection and evaluation to draw a conclusion. As for whether he can play in the fourth game, it is still unknown.

Although the old man's face has always been flat, with his style, no one can be sure whether this was the smoke bomb he deliberately released or whether Duncan's situation is indeed not optimistic.

Back in the East Finals, the Bobcats, who held the match point, came to the Auburn Hills Palace Arena again.

Today is different from the past. The Pistons generals face this game with a mentality of fighting against the enemy.

The whole team tried all their best, and Larry Brown was also ready. Anyway, it was all up to this point, so I would just give the players absolute autonomy. How do you think you can win, just fight.

His delegation of power unexpectedly achieved miraculous results.

The Pistons' offense was actually very exciting, comparable to the Bobcats.

Hamilton, who was on the outside, once again used his "dog-walking style" to run all over the field, seized the opportunity and shot, and played the outside offensive style that the Pistons are best at.

The quality of the cover between Rashid and Da Ben in the inside line is extremely high, which creates a lot of difficulty for Chen Cheng to pursue and defend.

Brown's face turned green on the sidelines.

Couple, you guys are all playing me here, right?

Without me here to plan, you will be able to fight smoothly?

In fact, the conflict between Brown and the management has intensified since the beginning of the season.

His harsh criticism of the players and his contempt for the management have made the team feel irresistible to this influential coach.

Before the playoffs began, there were media reports in New York that Larry Brown once said that if he had the chance, the team he wanted to coach the most was the New York Knicks.

Coincidentally, his contract with the Pistons will expire at the end of this season. Since he cannot lead the Pistons to the championship, it is not impossible to escape the Knicks.

After all, who would be unable to get along with the money?

Although Brown has not responded positively to this matter, local media in Detroit have also commented on the matter, hoping that the old coach can come forward to clarify the matter.

As a result, Brown was unable to say something to clarify the facts. For the sake of the team's performance, this matter was not pursued at the request of Joe Dumas.

But these remarks caused a lot of shock in the locker room and management.

Immediately before the playoffs, Cavaliers manager Danny Ferry also ran an olive branch to the old coach.

He asked Larry Brown directly if there was a possibility of becoming the Cavaliers' operations president.

And he said that this was a decision made after asking the team's top star LeBron James.

After that, Larry Brown still did not explain or deny it.

However, in order to consider the team's performance, the Pistons management once again chose to tolerate and silence, thinking that Larry Brown would lead the team to achieve results, so that everything in the past can be left unrestrained.

But now, as if he was so fucked, the whole team had no reason to spoil him anymore.

Team general manager Joe Dumas is sitting behind the team's bench at this moment, and has no communication with Larry Brown throughout the whole process.

Seeing this scene, Chen Cheng silently said in his heart: This is safe!
