Lyon, Billups and Hamilton successively joined the Pistons, which gave the other 28 teams in the league a bad feeling.

Because all this is so similar to what happened in the summer of 1985.

In the summer of 1985, in order to defeat Bird, the Pistons first selected Joe Dumars with the 18th pick in the first round, and then introduced another fighting talent, "The Rock" Rick Mahon.

But even so, the Pistons are not satisfied yet. What they need is a quick start, and what they need is to blow up the entire league.

So the Pistons later acquired two-time scoring champion Adrian Dantley through a trade.

At this point, the bad boy army was born that made the entire alliance fearful.

This Pistons joined the fight for hegemony and even made No. 23 miserable.

They won the championship twice in the 1988-89 and 1989-90 seasons. Although they did not win another championship in the 1990s, they were still a powerful force in the Eastern Conference.

Today, the operation of the piston looks very similar to that of 1985.

Despite their good results, they made drastic changes to their lineup and upgraded every position.

If Billups and Hamilton just join the Pistons, it won't be a big deal.

But the Pistons did not hesitate to use the Grizzlies' first-round pick to trade Li Ang, which illustrates a problem: "They don't want to wait any longer, they want to win the championship!"

The NBA is a game of exchanging the future for the present, or the present for the future.

It is rare for Green Kai to get high draft picks while achieving good results in the future.

Since the Pistons chose to trade draft picks for Li Ang, it proves that they don't want to waste any more time.

They regard Li Ang as the last and biggest piece of the puzzle.

A brand new bad boy army seems to have been formed!

So, will history really repeat itself?

Will the entire league really be cast in the shadow of the bad boys of the Pistons again?

Everyone, including Stern, couldn't help but swallow.

For a time, most of the media on the market began to speak ill of the Pistons.

"A parallel import prospect, a skinny defender, an offensive idiot, and a cancer in the locker room. Does anyone really think they can make it happen? No, right?"

“The Pistons finished second in the Eastern Conference last season, but it was ridiculous for them to send away the team’s top two scorers, Stackhouse and Clifford Robinson.

To be honest, I can't understand this behavior of Joe Dumars. He abruptly dismantled a team that was steadily on the rise.

I don’t think this civilian team can do better than last season.”

"The Pistons will become a strong team in the Eastern Conference next season, there is no doubt about it. But if their goal is to compete for the championship...the OK combination that has won two consecutive championships will destroy them, really."

No one is optimistic about the Pistons, or in other words, people are unwilling to believe that the Pistons can rise.

The days when the Bad Boy Legion dominated the alliance made them fearful.

They don't want to fall into that kind of fear again.

Therefore, we can only eliminate the fear in our hearts and achieve the purpose of self-comfort by constantly belittling the piston.

It's like the French always say that their Macedonian defenses are impregnable.

But there is one thing to say. Compared with the Lakers, Spurs and other teams, the Pistons' lineup is indeed a bit too civilian.

There is only one All-Star in the team, Li Ang, but Liang is not a superstar like Shaq or Duncan.

Among the superstars, Li Ang is considered a relatively commoner.

Therefore, some people really don't think the Pistons can succeed.

Even Kobe thought so: "Lee, how is life in Detroit?"

"It's okay. It's not that bad. I just don't dare to go out at night."

"Why don't you come to the west? There are sunshine, beaches and beauties here. Life is so comfortable!"

Li Ang laughed and said, "Go to the West? You just want to beat me twice more in a season, and you think I don't know your little thoughts?"

After winning two consecutive championships, Kobe has become the top five shooting guards.

In the past, people used to compare Carter and Jordan.

But now, people are starting to compare Kobe and Jordan more and more.

Not to mention Kobe Bryant's performance in the past two years, after all, he won his first championship by defeating Li Ang.

In the past two years, none of you know how many times Li Ang has been woken up by unexpected text messages in his sleep.

"Unfortunately, I was still thinking that it would be great if you could go to the Nets. Hey, after all, 4-0 in the finals is really meaningless. If you go to the Nets, you can still have some fun next season.

As a result, you went to the Pistons, who couldn't even beat the Nets, hey!"

On the phone, the volute began to talk about Versailles again.

In the 2001-02 season that just passed, the Lakers swept the Nets 4-0 in the Finals, winning effortlessly.

One year 4 to 1, one year 4 to 0.

Let's put it this way, there is almost no team in the Eastern Conference that can compete with the Lakers.

Last season, due to ranking changes, the Pistons met the Nets in the Eastern Conference finals early, and were beaten 4-0 by the Nets.

This time and again, the strength gap between the Pistons and the Lakers can be seen.

Li Ang gritted his teeth, Kobe was really haunted by this beep.

Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will turn on the taunting mode.

"Okay, okay, just hold it in. We didn't play well last season. Let's make an appointment next season!"

"Hahahaha, it sounds like you can beat me next season. Come on, bring your group of brothers and sisters to beat me, hahahaha!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Ang touched his chin.

Coming to beat you? The kind without responsibility?

This is what you said!

We may be a bit ordinary people in the basketball world, but in the fighting world we are a proper all-star team.

These days, the whole world is disparaging the Pistons anyway.

It's like when some people see you getting a new car, they get sour.

Oops, you said that the iron sheet of your car is so thin, wouldn’t it be useless if you scratch it?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This interior is not as good as my third uncle's big tricycle.

There is even this space, which is not enough for two people to lie down on.

Why are you thinking about buying this car? If you really have that kind of money, you can just buy something else. Why buy this? It’s for nothing.

It's really just a case of being taken advantage of.

Joe Dumas was regarded as the wronged one, but in the face of overwhelming reports, Dumas remained very calm in his heart.

He knows exactly what he is doing. A team like the Pistons cannot afford superstars.

What he wants to do is to do the most things with the least money.

Of course, Du Fatty can't guarantee that the Pistons will take off next season.

Whether he is the wronged son or not depends on the performance of the elder brothers.

Li Ang rested in Detroit for more than half a month. There was not much place to play in Detroit, so Li Ang could only hang out with Big Ben every day.

Ben took advantage of this period of time to familiarize Li Ang with the city of Detroit. Afterwards, he and Li Ang both had to participate in the World Championships. Therefore, the two of them seized the time to spend time together every day.

During this period, James from Cleveland called Li Ang every day, hoping to train with Li Ang.

Last summer, he and Li Ang spent a wonderful time, which made Xiao Zhan forget to leave.

During the offseason last year, Li Ang invited Xiao Zhan to participate in his training camp as previously agreed.

After a summer of training, Xiao Zhan became invincible when he returned.

Throughout his senior season, he seemed to be completely transformed, averaging nearly 30 points per game.

Therefore, he also wants to train with Li Ang this year.

But there is no way, Li Ang has to be busy participating in the national team competition this year, so he has no time.

Do you think Li Ang can bear it? He is also very heartbroken, okay?

Without being able to train with Xiao Zhan, Li Ang can no longer take advantage of him.

After training with Xiao Zhan for a summer last season, Li Ang drew a silver "Bullet Pass" badge from him.

As the name suggests, the effect is to increase the power and accuracy when passing the ball, allowing the basketball to fly to the hands of teammates accurately and quickly like a bullet, achieving the effect of letting bullets fly.

This is also one of the characteristics of James' passing. When he passes the ball, it usually flies very fast.

However, because Li Ang was just a finishing point most of the time last season, there were not many opportunities to pass the ball. Therefore, the assists per game data did not improve much.

But in fact, Li Ang can occasionally send a wonderful pass now.
