Chapter 459
The several rounds of duels between the "Dragon Country Twin Stars" and the "OK duo."
Further made fans look forward to the game between the two teams.
When will it come?
Everyone couldn't wait, and they checked the schedule one after another.
March 1st, Pistons vs. Bulls.
Then... the last game of the Bulls' regular season, against the Lakers.
The Lakers are still a bit far away, but March 1st is already close at hand.
And besides the highly anticipated duel between the Pistons and the Bulls, fans were also paying attention to how long the Bulls' longest 16-game winning streak of the season could last.
Or rather...
Which team could end the Bulls' winning streak.
Don't know if there is one.
But... after returning from the All-Star Weekend, the Bulls completed a slaughter against the Raptors with "Half-Man Half-God" Carter.
The Bulls seemed to be telling the outside world.
All-Star Weekend, play is play, trouble is trouble, don't make fun of the 16-game winning streak Bulls.
17-game winning streak.
The Bulls went straight to a 20-game winning streak.
What is the concept of a 20-game winning streak?
Except for the Lakers in the 1972-1973 season, who created the longest 33-game winning streak, the second highest in the historical winning streak list is the Bucks' 20-game winning streak.
They got it in the earlier 1971-1972 season.
These are all records from the ancient era.
Now the Bulls have won 17 games in a row, and once they reach 20, they will immediately tie this shocking winning streak record that has been around for 32 years.
Key.
This was still created by a team led by a group of newcomers.
This is the most amazing part.
Hiss...
Bulls fans felt excited just thinking about it, and they were completely looking forward to the arrival of that day.
And during the Bulls' impact on the 20-game winning streak.
The Pistons "Bad Boy Legion 2.0" was officially born.
What happened.
During the All-Star Weekend, before the trade deadline, the Pistons traded "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed Wallace from the Trail Blazers.
Let the Pistons form a combination of: Billups + Hamilton + Prince + Rasheed Wallace + Ben Wallace.
The "Pistons Five Tigers"... were officially gathered.
"Bad Boy Legion 2.0" also became the strongest body.
And after returning from the All-Star Weekend, no, to be precise, it was after Rasheed Wallace handed over everything.
A battle of the strongest body of the "Pistons Five Tigers."
Facing the Celtics with "The Truth" Pierce, the Pistons, who raised their defense to the extreme, made the Celtics score only 76 points in the whole game.
Yes.
They didn't even reach 80 points.
Although... the Pistons only had 81 points, barely winning by 5 points.
But the iron-blooded, tough, and dirty defense made all the Celtics feel uncomfortable, playing extremely painfully, and the crazy confrontation made the whole body feel painful.
After the game.
When Pierce faced the reporter's interview, he shook his head again and again, "The addition of "Roaring Heavenly Venerable" Rasheed Wallace has sublimated the Pistons' defensive system.
The defense of all members is suffocating.
While making physical fitness decline... it makes people feel despair little by little.
Obviously there is no top talent, but super strong defensive consciousness, and unyielding fighting spirit, plus the team's "dirty defense" culture.
Really.
Playing with them is really suffering."
Celtics coach John Carroll, "The addition of Rasheed Wallace has turned the Pistons "Bad Boy Legion 2.0" into a complete body.
They are hitting people, not playing ball.
They are too violent, the league needs to restrict this way of playing!!!"
