The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 3 You Owe Me A Championship Ring

"God, Li Xun!"

"He's definitely a gift from God to our Pistons!"

"After Dennis and Ben, our Pistons will usher in the third rebounding leader!"

"Li Xun!"

The fans who scolded Kwame Brown 1 minute ago felt as if they had been beaten to death, and the audience chanted Li Xun's name.

They were so excited.

As a rookie, if he scored five points in less than one minute, the Pistons fans would not be so excited.

After all, scoring is sometimes a matter of luck. No matter how weak a player is, as long as he is lucky, scoring two goals in a row is not an amazing move.

But he grabbed five rebounds in less than a minute, including three offensive rebounds, which is remarkable.

It is not too much to say it is a miracle!

Hearing the shouts all over the sky, Li Xun was ecstatic in his heart, it seemed that he had gained a firm foothold in the Pistons.

As the saying goes, the rebounder wins the world. Now it is the 2008-2009 season, and the era of small ball has not yet officially arrived.

A strong rebounder is definitely a super jigsaw puzzle that every team dreams of.

What's more, with Li Xun's talented performance, it can no longer be described in simple terms.

unbelievable!

Michael Curry quickly pinched himself, and he now suspects he was dreaming.

He has just taken over as the coach of the team this season. Last season, the Pistons ranked second in the Eastern Conference, and more than half of this season, the Pistons ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

If nothing else, after this season, he will pack up and leave.

Of course, everyone knows that the serious decline in the Pistons' record has little to do with the coach, and it is entirely a matter of the lineup.

But the team's record is terrible, and there should always be someone who sacrifices to the sky. An unqualified coach like Michael Curry is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Now Li Xun's rebounding strength is overwhelming, and hope rises in poor Curry's heart.

Now he only hopes that Li Xun is not a flash in the pan, but really has such a terrifying rebounding ability.

The domestic fans who used to ridicule Li Xun are all speechless now.

They were in the same mood as David Lee, and they all suspected that they had seen a ghost.

This super rebounding monster with five rebounds in a single round on the field is really the softie Li they have been teasing and mocking before?
When everyone was shocked, the game on the court continued.

Li Xun did not dare to pass the long ball this time, and simply continued to pass the ball to McDyess.

The current score between the two sides is 64:56, and the home team Pistons are temporarily behind by eight points.

I don't know if it was because of Li Xun's unbelievable performance that aroused the morale of the Pistons. In the next two offensive rounds, Iverson and Prince hit consecutively.

Li Xun could only sigh secretly.

His teammates have a high shooting rate, which doesn't seem to be a good thing for a rebounder like him.

Fortunately, the Knicks did not have such a shooting percentage, and Li Xun got another rebound.

"Dudududu!"

Not long after, the referee blew the whistle to end the third quarter, and the two sides drew 76:76.

After leaving the field, Li Xun was directly surrounded by the generals of the Pistons.

"Li, 3 rebounds in 8 minutes, you created a miracle!"

Iverson stepped forward and gave Li Xun a hug with a smile on his face.

He hadn't been as happy as he was tonight in a long time.

Since being sold to the Nuggets by the 07ers in 76, Iverson's life has been worse year after year.

At the beginning of the season, the Pistons traded Billups for Iverson from the Nuggets.

This change directly put Iverson in an embarrassing situation. With only Billups replaced in the lineup, the Pistons ranked second in the Eastern Conference last season. .

And now Li Xun's outbreak also raised hope in Iverson's heart.

He suddenly remembered the most glorious year of his career in 01, when he reached the finals with the help of the top blue-collar uncle Mutombo.

If Li Xun can continue tonight's performance.

Then I still have a chance this year, maybe I don't need to be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Hamilton and Prince, the two veterans of the Pistons grassroots championship team, also looked ecstatic at the moment.

The departure of Big Ben made the Pistons lose their soul.

But now they could vaguely see Da Ben's shadow on Li Xun.

Maybe the bad boy army that once made every team in the league fearful will have a day to reappear!
Facing the compliments from the generals, Li Xun's expression was quite calm.

"Aaron, the real miracle is yet to come."

"I will help you get a championship ring!"

Li Xun's expression was extremely firm, it didn't look like he was joking at all.

Hearing this, everyone around looked at Li Xun in astonishment. It was really unimaginable that this young man in front of him could say such bold words.

Iverson suddenly grinned, stepped forward and patted Li Xun on the shoulder fiercely.

"it is good!"

"You owe me a championship ring!"

Until this moment, Iverson had a real sense of belonging to the Pistons.

I'm afraid the former him would never have thought that the reason for his sense of belonging was actually Li Xun, the patron saint of the water dispenser.

The short inter-section break ended, and the two sides returned to the court.

"Li Xun!"

"Li Xun!"

"Let Li Xun play!"

Before the referee blew the whistle, the fans at the scene had already started shouting at coach Curry, they were afraid that Li Xun would be pushed on the bench.

Curry is not a fool. One is Kwame Brown, who can't catch the ball with a buttery hand, and the other is Li Xun, who has 1 rebounds in 5 minute. A fool also knows who to play.

Li Xun, who has returned to the court, is full of energy.

The opponent is the weak Knicks, who are currently second to last in the Eastern Conference. As long as they do a good job in rebounding, it will not be a problem to win the Knicks.

After the game is over, you can get another chance to draw a lottery.

I don't know if I can get the Ouhuang possessed this time, and get another S-level skill.

The Cincinnati Royals' rebounding ability just obtained is really against the sky, and it directly allowed Li Xun to obtain the rebounding strength of an NBA historical rebounder.

He thought to himself that even if he faced Big Ben or Rodman in his peak period, he would definitely not fall behind on the rebounding end.

"mine!"

Li Xun yelled loudly under the basket, the sound was like thunder, Gan Ba ​​jumped up and received another offensive rebound.

After experiencing the short-term tension and restraint just now, Li Xun on the field has completely let go of his hands and feet, and he is full of passion.

In his previous life, he was an unscrupulous person, born with a big heart, and never had stage fright.

Under the influence of Li Xun, the Pistons, which had a half-dead atmosphere in the team, now became full of momentum.

Iverson played extremely excitedly, wearing butterfly steps with great aesthetic feeling, driving straight in after passing people one after another, picking baskets and scoring at the basket.

Li Xun tried his best to protect every rebound, so that his rebound data rose slowly.

Less than 2 minutes after the start of the fourth quarter, Li Xun scored two rebounds again and scored a double-double.

You must know that now Li Xun only played for 5 minutes in total, and in the end he got 10 rebounds, including 5 offensive rebounds!
It is not too much to say that Li Xun crushed the Knicks' rebounding end alone.

The morale of the Pistons gradually increased, and the Knicks, who directly hit the Knicks with wave after wave of offensives, had no power to parry.

The lineup of the Pistons itself is actually not bad.

The reason why the record is not good, apart from Rashid's absence, the biggest reason is the inability to guarantee rebounds.

Both Hamilton and Prince are typical outside shooters. Although half of Iverson's offense is to rush to the basket, he still needs his own inside to help him grab rebounds.

Counting on Kwame Brown and old McDyess, they will definitely not work.

Even Rashid, he is not young now, and he is not an insider who is good at rebounding.

Now with the birth of Li Xun, the Pistons' rebounding problem has been easily solved, and this Pistons has shown a very good level.
