Chapter 121 New Bad Boys Army!
Lin Yu did not answer Dio's question, but teased Dio.
"What are the Pistons good at? They can elbow, kick, and talk trash."
"When the time comes, you deal with Rashid and I'll deal with Prince, and we'll take care of him!"
Dio didn't take the Pistons seriously at all at this time.
Coach Lu couldn't stand it anymore and said speechlessly, "Boris, you can even play center, can't you go match up with Ben Wallace? Why are you bullying Prince, a small forward?"
“This is called maximizing my strengths!”
Dio did not feel the slightest bit ashamed for hitting Prince out of position, but instead looked very proud.
Lin Yu looked at this group of people and always felt that there was something wrong with the style of painting.
Dio, who picks on mismatches and bullies the weak and fears the strong, Perkins, who relies on emotional intelligence to make a living, dribbling guard Lu, and Rivers, who is always reversed in the playoffs...
……
Sitting on the bus to the hotel.
Rivers pointed to the desolate and dilapidated streets outside the window and said, "After arriving at the hotel, it's best not to go out. You know how dangerous the City of Sin is, even without me telling you."
Detroit's crime rate is among the highest in the entire city.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Before taking a break, Tony asked Lin Yu, "Lin, what did you and the coach say about how to deal with the Pistons?"
"You'll know when the night comes!"
Lin Yu did not continue to explain to Tony. After all, tactics were easier to explain than to see in action.
Bang!
Lin Yu closed the door and prepared to rest.
Tony was left with a confused look on his face.
"Forget it, I'll know when I get tonight."
Tony didn't think any more about it and went back to his room to rest.
Night falls.
Lin Yu and others got on the bus to the suburbs.
The Palace of Auburn Hills is located in the suburbs 80 kilometers away from downtown Detroit, so the journey is inconvenient.
This is also one of the reasons why the Palace of Auburn Hills was demolished before Lin Yu traveled through time.
After entering the Palace of Auburn Hills and arriving at the locker room.
Rivers said to everyone solemnly: "I think you all know how famous the Pistons' Bad Boys are. Today's Pistons' Big Five is known as the 'Bad Boys Second Generation'."
"My advice to these bad kids is, if they elbow you, you elbow them back, if they swear at you, you swear back at them with even more nasty trash talk."
Tony and the others nodded, then left the locker room and went on the court to warm up.
As soon as they entered the stadium, the Celtics team received a "warm welcome" from Detroit fans.
"Boston trash! Have you figured out how many points you'll lose today?"
"The defending champion will tear you apart completely!"
"Yellow-skinned boy! The Pistons will let you know that being the top pick is nothing special!"
"..."
After all, they are fans from the city of sin, it would be strange if they had good quality.
When warming up.
Pierce asked Lin Yu, "Lin, how do you feel about playing away for the first time?"
“It’s fine, but aren’t these fans tired?”
From the moment the Celtics players walked into the player tunnel, Detroit fans never stopped cursing and mocking them.
"Just get used to it. After all, this is one of the devil's home courts in the league."
Pierce was used to it. While the two were chatting, a burly man wearing the No. 36 Pistons jersey came over.
Rasheed Wallace!
Lin Yu recognized the person at a glance.
"Hello, Paul, and Dragon Country's top pick! I'd like to say hello to you first, otherwise I may not have time to say hello to you once the game starts.
"We didn't want to go all out, but it's our fault that you guys messed with that old-fashioned old man, Coach Larry. You guys can only wish for the best from now on!"
After saying this, Rashid Wallace looked at Lin Yu with a sneer, then turned and left.
"Does Rashid think he has us in his grasp?"
Pierce looked at Rashid who turned and left, and his face was also unhappy.
"After all, he is the defending champion and has reason to be proud. However, there is one thing he doesn't understand: glory will always remain in the past."
A hint of fighting spirit also flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
As a focus station, Barkley and Smith also came to the scene to commentate.
"The warm-up is about to end and the game is about to begin. Mehmet Okur was one of the rotation players for the Pistons' championship last season."
"Pistons General Manager Joe Dumars also presented Mehmet Okur with a championship ring!"
"The 22000 fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills also applauded Mehmet Okur!"
The camera lens was also turned to Okur at this time.
On the big screen, there was a picture of Okur kissing the championship ring.
Then Okur returned to the Celtics bench.
As soon as Okur sat down, he became the focus of his teammates.
West stared at the ring in Okur's hand, his eyes full of envy.
"Oku, can you let me see it?"
"No, Delonte, you have to earn the ring yourself."
"I want to see it too. Mehmet, lend it to me. I'll treat you to a good meal next time."
"Kendrick, get out of here too!"
Okur looked at a group of teammates who were eager to play, and considering that he had to play first, he asked Rivers to help keep the championship ring.
Although Lin Yu also wants a championship ring of his own, it’s just as Okur said.
You have to fight for the ring yourself!
The Celtics' starting lineup: center Mehmet Okur, power forward Lin Yu, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Hardaway, and point guard Coach Lue.
The Pistons' starting lineup: center Ben Wallace, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Prince, shooting guard Hamilton, and point guard Billups.
Wow!
As the referee blew the whistle, Okur easily jumped over the head of Ben, who was probably only 2 meters tall if his afro was not counted.
The Celtics began to attack, and Coach Lu once again transformed into a dribbling guard.
Los Angeles, Staples Center.
Old Buss and Kupchak were sitting together in front of the TV at this time.
"Kupchak, what do you think Lin Yu can do against the Pistons' Big Five?"
"Although Lin Yu is very capable, the Pistons are a solid championship team. I'm afraid this game will cause Lin Yu to suffer a big loss."
Hearing Kupchak's words, old Buss nodded.
"You're right, but Lin Yu was chosen by Auerbach after all. I also want to see his performance."
Larry Brown on the sidelines had a look of confidence in his eyes.
He wanted Lin Yu to pay a heavy price in the Palace of Auburn Hills!
on the field.
After Lin Yu received the pass from Coach Lu, he habitually moved to the high position.
Rasheed Wallace also came directly in front of Lin Yu.
"The number one scholar of Dragon Country, let me see what you are capable of!"
