Chapter 530
Generally speaking, the ordinary playoffs, not the Eastern and Western finals or the finals, there is only one TV station in the United States that broadcasts live.
However, Liu Mang made too much noise this time!
It can be said that the Eagles and Pistons were directly pushed to the end of the rivalry. Although the Pistons have been regarded as the most "watery" regular season champions in the Eastern Conference this year, they are naturally strong enough to win the Eastern Conference. The future is likely to be One of the Eagles' Eastern Conference rivals.
The Pistons are now facing a last stand. If they lose, they will be eliminated. Coupled with Liu Mang's stimulation, it is very likely that this game will explode.
In addition, this game may be unprecedented in the history of the NBA, and it is difficult for the eighth division to sweep the first Super Black Eight in the division. Whether it is an Eagles fan or a Pistons fan, many neutral fans and those who do not like the Eagles, Or fans who don't like the Pistons, with a different mentality, want to watch the live broadcast of this game.
Therefore, T.N.T, ESPN, and ABC, the three NBA live broadcasts that competed for ratings share at least until the Eastern and Western Conference finals, all broadcast the game live on the highest TV station in the United States. Time Warner Cable also mixed a Foot, live regionally in Georgia and Michigan.
Fans mainly choose to buy live broadcasts or T.N.T and ESPN two TV stations. The pattern of the two TV stations competing for hegemony has already taken shape at the beginning of the century.
In terms of T.N.T, Rodman, the most individual character in the former Pistons Bad Boys, was invited to be the guest commentator.
Although Rodman was not as dazzling as the Bulls during the Pistons period, and he was a substitute for most of the years in the era of the Bad Boys. When he started, he had already entered the 1990s, and the Bad Boys had been surpassed by Jordan. But in the third grade, Rodman became the only substitute in NBA history selected to the best defensive first team. In the fourth grade, he won the best defensive player with only 43 starts in 82 games. After starting three more games, he could even win the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Although Rodman is not as dazzling as Lambiel, Assassins, and Dumars in the Bad Boys of the Pistons, but at this stage, Rodman is more eye-catching. After all, he has been in the Bull Dynasty and has a better reputation than the Bad Boys. Too much, he was a guest commentator, and before the game started, he sprayed all kinds of remarks on Liu Mang, which attracted a lot of ratings.
ESPN also invited powerful guests to help out. Moses Malone, who only played for the Eagles for three years and the first high school rookie in NBA history, was invited as a guest commentator. The relationship between Moses Malone and the Bad Boys was also very bad. In the 1980s, there were almost no stars who had a good impression of the Bad Boys except for themselves. Moses Malone didn't have a little affection for the Pistons.
The roles played by the two TV stations are clear, one supports the Eagles and the other supports the Pistons.
Different from the domestic emphasis on neutrality as a live broadcast platform, the live broadcast platform of the United States has much more personality, and whoever is going to be blacked out and whoever is praised will stick to it to the end. For example, ESPN, which was blacked out by Kobe all his life...
...
The much-anticipated fourth game of the series between the Eagles and Pistons, dubbed by fans as the "Consideration War", will soon be played at the Phillips Arena, home of the Eagles.
The three major TV stations broadcast live in the United States, and Time Warner Cable, which is not weaker than the three major TV stations, broadcasts live in the states where the two teams are located. This puts more pressure and motivation on the players of the two teams!
It's time to win!
If the Eagles lost, Liu Mang would lose face. Even if they won the series afterwards, they would not have so much glory to speak of. On the contrary, the image of the Pistons "never admit defeat" has been achieved.
The Hawks reached a point where they had to fight to sweep the Pistons.
The Pistons will naturally do their best to restore their dignity.
With Liu Mang doing things and the media fueling the flames, the road between the Eagles and the Pistons has begun!
Today, all the 18,729 conventionally sold tickets at the Phillips Arena were sold out, plus gifts to local dignitaries, people from cooperative units, former Eagles players and their families, and families of current Eagles players, 19,000 More than 100 seats were full, and the Eagles bought 20,000 pieces of the new version of the Hawks exclusive T-shirts of the Rogue League, and distributed them to every fan who came to watch the game, and the fans also put the team T-shirts on , Cheer for the team, and look forward to the team making history!
The frantic atmosphere at the scene and the furious atmosphere of the Pistons made Liu Mang feel pressured and excited!
Finally, the pre-match activities were over, and the referee signaled the starters to come on stage!
Hawks starting lineup today has a little change, Boozer replaced Muhammad boarded the starting position.
Strengthening the offense of the starting lineup, defeating the Pistons' iron barrel defense, and protecting the rebounds are still the key to the Eagles' victory.
Although Boozer is far inferior to Muhammad in defense and supplementary defense, he is also good at rebounding and has a stronger ability to open up space. Coach Kruger hopes to have something different to avoid being targeted by the Pistons.
Raheem went to spread chalk, Prince went to dance, Ratliff went to liven up the atmosphere, Liu Mang and Boozer, as the starting partners, came to the technical stage together to start boxing performances.
Usually, the Pistons players find it interesting to watch the Hawks starters make their moves. Now, when they see their moves, there is only one word that comes to mind—arrogance. Translated into Chinese, it can also be used as pretense.
How can the Pistons players bear it!
Ben Wallace said that he would also come to do the opening action! After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ben Wallace didn’t think of any good moves. The other Wallace, who had a better brain and liked more funny things, hadn’t arrived at the Pistons. Jason Terry's action, Ben Wallace walked towards the Eagles basket, just past the halfway line, suddenly, the Eagles team finished their pre-game actions and walked back to the court. The referee blew his whistle and the game was about to start.
Ben Wallace is embarrassing! It's over, it's embarrassing! Just because of thinking for a few seconds, the Eagles starters have finished their opening moves!
At this moment, Ben Wallace was delighted that he didn't go to the opponent's basket, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. Ben Wallace turned around chicly and stood back on the side of the center line close to the Pistons' basket, waiting for the jump ball.
At this moment, Ben Wallace felt that his IQ had been sublimated, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. His resolute face and corn whisker-like exploding head, Ben Wallace's smile, which he seldom smiles at ordinary times...
When Ratliff came to the other side of the center line, he happened to see Ben Wallace's smile and shuddered. This guy was really pissed off by his troubled boy! They have all changed from a tough man to a pervert, but Ratliff has become more focused because of this. The tough man is already difficult to deal with. The brute force and rough movements have already given him headaches, but now he is still perverted, making it even more difficult to deal with.
For a moment, Ratliff felt sympathy for Ben Wallace... Ratliff shook his head, put the weird emotion aside, and went into the game.
The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Ratliff tried hard, but lost the fourth straight game on the jump ball to Ben Wallace, who made it easy. Dial to the rear.
Billups jumped up and protected the ball to avoid being intercepted by Liu Mang. Although this round of the series only started with one steal by Liu Mang, once he was bitten by a snake...
Billups pushed forward and regained his previous calmness, but he was still a little surprised to see that the man guarding him became a rookie Prince.
Liu Mang was running around with Hamilton at this time. The Eagles took the initiative and used Prince to defend against Billups. Liu Mang followed Hamilton.
Facing Prince, Billups was at a disadvantage in stature, mainly in terms of height. Prince was fast and tall, so he didn't choose to shoot, but broke through with his strength!
Prince is still too thin, and he is good at defending shots. In the future, Kobe and Durant have suffered under his hands, but now he can't stand against Billups!
Billups made a change of direction to get a little breakthrough space, and immediately squeezed past. Prince quickly made up for the space, but Billups squeezed Prince away with his strength, and came to the left side of the free throw line. At this time, Hamilton just ran to the basket, and Ben Wallace blocked Liu Mang from running to the free throw line. Liu Mang quickly circled around and followed Hamilton closely. At this moment, the second pick-and-roll came, and Kerry Ford Robinson blocked Liu Mang at the free throw line!
At the same time, Billups on the left side of the free throw line started to break through to the basket again, attracting Boozer, who was going to defend Hamilton, and Billups passed back to the left side of the basket. Hamilton in the distance, Hamilton catches the ball and hits a two-pointer.
After running at full speed for so long, he can still make a steady shot in the CIC! Liu Mang has nothing to do with Hamilton!
The main reason is that Billups played very calmly today, not as impulsive as the previous three games.
Billups's mentality is not so lofty now. To be straightforward is to smash the cans and smash the cans. Anyway, he doesn't play well. Barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and he doesn't want to confront Liu Mang. Play tactics slowly.
The most important thing is that Hamilton's running position is really good at running. Although Liu Mang has physical potions, he is not afraid of physical exertion, and can recover his strength after running out of strength, but the chest tightness after running a lot The feeling of shortness of breath is the same, but with the physical medicine, the physical energy can still be sufficient after the recovery.
Hamilton still practiced track and field in high school, and he was also a mile long-distance race, that is, a 1.6-kilometer long-distance race. He was also the high school long-distance running champion in Pennsylvania. He has not lost a game in 4 years of high school. His endurance is really good! Although he only has a speed of 89, relying on his endurance, when Billups calmed down and played hard, Hamilton ran happily and used pick-and-rolls, Liu Mang couldn't keep up!
