Li Ang originally thought that after seven consecutive victories, it would be very difficult to continue winning.
After all, even though he won the game against the Spurs, the game was no longer so easy.
If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't work hard to dunk the ball in at the last moment, it might be Popovich who is laughing now.
But the reality is not what Li Ang imagined.
In the past few games after defeating the Spurs, the Pistons have gone crazy.
Against the Heat on November 12, the Pistons experienced a sluggish offensive state for the first time this season.
Possibly because the Spurs shot too hard in the last game, everyone has entered the sage time today.
Billups made 2 of 6 shots and Leon made 3 of 11 shots.
Today Li Ang can't find the touch no matter how he hits, let alone a mid-range shot. Several forced layups that he could easily score in the past can't make it today.
Let's put it this way, except for the outrageous things like not making an overhead basket and not hitting three mid-range shots, Li Ang basically tried all the iron-strike positions.
Seeing that Li Ang is so strong today, Carlisle is not worried.
Isn't there Hamilton, the No. 2 scorer?
But Hamilton used 5 of 17 shots to tell Carlisle: "I live and die with Leon!"
A real Nima will share the blessings, and fight with the iron.
Li Ang, Billups and Hamilton, the three major scorers of the Pistons are all in poor condition, and Big Ben feels that his chance to save the team has come.
"Coach, me, me, I can attack!"
Carlisle glanced at Daben and patted him on the shoulder: "Next, the whole team will seriously defend!"
Let the big attack? Unless Carlisle got water in his head.
Most people, including Carlisle himself, felt that the game was basically hopeless.
The team's three top scorers all shot less than 30% today. It would be a miracle to win this game.
Then Carlisle got a miracle.
Carlisle himself was in a daze when the buzzer sounded for the end of the game.
75 to 72, the Pistons just won the game in Miami.
We won!
With such a terrible offense, the Pistons actually extended their winning streak to 8 games!
And the way the Pistons win can be summed up as: "I don't understand offense, so don't you either."
If you are strong, let your opponent be stronger than yourself.
Under the hard-working defense of the Pistons, the Heat shot 33.8% today, which is a full seven percentage points lower than the 40.8% of the Pistons.
I'm not afraid of iron, just make you stronger.
After the game, the reporters interviewed Heat coach Pat Riley in the player tunnel.
"Coach, today the two sides hit a total of 89 irons. How do you evaluate this game?"
"Huh? Superstar? No, no, no, we have no plans to introduce superstars recently." Riley asked out of question.
Don't get me wrong, the magician who once created the Lakers showtime does not suffer from Alzheimer's.
He just had a simple tinnitus and couldn't hear what the reporter was saying.
No matter who listened to the 89 iron strikes at the scene, they would get tinnitus.
In this game, Li Ang was speechless.
no
Are the Pistons just seeking to lose so alone now?
You can win even if you become this bear, and you still let no one lose.
So much so that after the game, Li Ang and Da Ben looked at each other in blank dismay.
"This is the win?" Li Ang looked at the score, a little unbelievable.
"Damn, it's a good thing I showed my skills on the offensive end today, otherwise I'd lose."
"Extremely powerful?" Li Ang looked at the data on the big screen at the scene.
Today Ben grabbed 22 rebounds, blocked 5 shots and only made one foul.
How far has the Heat been covered? In the sixth minute of the third quarter, Heat power forward Brian Grant received the basketball under the basket and was about to turn around and dunk.
It turned out that Big Ben jumped towards him, and Grant was so frightened that he swung the ball in the air towards the basket.
As a result, he dunked the ball directly to the edge of the neck of the basket, and it stuck directly on the basket!
Good guy, if there is Grant in the 2000 slam dunk contest, there will be nothing to do with Leon and Carter.
? It is 100% creative.
Although Ben was extremely defensive, he only scored 8 points and missed all 5 free throws.
&nnormal. After all, the Bulls' second-in-command only gets one.
But now, when the annual salary of tens of millions is no longer unusual, the Pistons have never had a player with an annual salary of tens of millions.
When the Pistons competed with the Bulls, the salary of the Pistons was only about half of that of the Bulls.
Davidson is not like Paul Allen, the tycoon in Portland, who didn't accept the profit and didn't accept it. He made a championship out of kryptonite.
For Allen, the NBA is entertainment. But for Davidson, the NBA is business.
Davis's financial resources are not that strong. For the Pistons, he still hopes that this team can help him make some money.
Because of Li Ang this season, he made a lot of money.
But the money is not enough to cover the losses of previous years.
Detroit is no better than New York and Los Angeles. No matter how bad the Lakers and Knicks are, they don't have to worry about selling tickets.
However, Detroit had no achievements and no superstars in the past few years, and it was almost losing money year after year.
If Davidson wants to give Li Ang a big contract, he really needs to think carefully. After all, according to the current salary cap standard, if Li Ang signs a new contract with a maximum salary, his salary in the first year will already exceed 10 million, let alone increase year by year.
Dumas knows that it is temporarily impossible to renew Li Ang's contract in advance.
But if Li Ang can really lead the team to achieve good results and even win the championship, then maybe Davidson will be moved.
The matter of contract renewal can only be put aside for the time being.
But If Li Ang really can't continue, Dumas has to prepare a plan b.
The team finally took shape, and it must not fall short because of this!
Being the general manager of the Pistons is a real test of skill.
Of course, Li Ang didn't know that Dumars wanted to renew his contract in advance.
Before the start of the season, Li Ang discussed with his agent, Barter Stern, that it would not be too late to discuss the contract renewal issue until next summer.
The only thing Li Ang thinks about this season is to achieve good results, preferably a championship!
? Set a small goal first, and take him to a 10-game winning streak!
After experiencing the baptism of the Nuggets and Heat before, at the mark of 10 consecutive victories, the Pistons finally met a slightly decent team.
Moreover, in this team, there is someone who Li Ang must win.
Karl Malone couldn't help but tighten his ass as he looked at the schedule.
Nightmares, why do they always come so fast.
