Chapter 142: Withstand It, Fight Inside

Just after the incident at the fried chicken restaurant, Li Shengli left with the team for the Auburn Hills Palace Stadium in the afternoon.

Here, the Hornets felt the enthusiasm of the home fans. Although the game was held at night, fans could be seen gathering outside the arena in the middle of the afternoon.

First of all, there were banners and slogans, which were really exciting, such as 'Revenge, beat the Hornets', 'Sanction victory - Lee, get out of Detroit', etc., playing with flowers, and their hands The small loudspeaker inside played the slogans on the banners and slogans in a loop. The scene was extremely exciting. Some people believed that this was an East-West final or a tie-breaker.

Fortunately, the home security personnel cleared the way and the Hornets players successfully entered the arena.

…

"My God, this battle is a bit scary, isn't it? When have we ever enjoyed this kind of treatment?" In the visiting team's locker room, Boggs was a little surprised.

Because the Hornets used to be a weak team with no one, and when they played away games, the away fans didn’t even boo you. Although booing sounds annoying, at least it’s a different kind of respect. People don’t even boo you. If you don't want to, this is the most hurtful thing.

"What the hell is going on? Look at the banner outside just now. Battle of Revenge? Shit, this bastard Laimbeer has already rematched, but Gil hasn't recovered yet. Who is seeking revenge from whom?" Curry was also angry. He frowned, and several teammates on the side were also indignant.

"Of course I'm looking for Ranbir! Just watch, today's game will definitely not go to waste. Remember, after a while you all resist and fight inside to kill this bastard Ranbir." Boggs said.

"Go away, I'm a fucking pitcher, you want me to hit the inside? And... let us hit the inside, what are you doing?" Curry yelled angrily.

"Nonsense, of course I'm watching the opportunity. Don't forget, I kicked Ranbir's balls." Boggs sat on the chair and kicked his legs. "Li, if we really fight, you have to watch." Let me tell you the truth, if someone like me, the heart and soul of the Hornets, were to be paralyzed, then our season would be over!"

The heart and soul of the Hornets?

Hearing this, Li Shengli rolled his eyes. Although Boggs was just being playful and joking, one thing was right, that is, this game was indeed different from before. There were grievances before and hatred behind. They all go on stage with emotions, and there will definitely be some friction.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, fight as you should, just pay attention. Matters on the court should be resolved with strength on the court. If the opponent is determined to find trouble or has a conflict, go to me. Come over here, just leave it to me." Li Shengli responded. Although he is the youngest in the Hornets team, everyone knows how fierce his fighting power is, and his past achievements are also vivid, so he said, "Leave it to me." 'No one thinks there's anything wrong with it.

Although for the Hornets, Gil's injury and layoff is already enough. If another main player is suspended, he will basically not be able to play in the next few games after being suspended. But this is the case in the NBA. Whoever is timid first is afraid of confrontation. , then you lose half of the matchup. It’s strange that you can perform well despite being timid in fighting.

In this regard, Li Shengli's attitude is still tough... The grievances on the court will be resolved with strength on the court, but if someone is abusive, they will definitely fight back. Violence is not a good way to solve the problem, but there is no doubt... It's the most direct.

The game must be played seriously!

Beat people, beat them to death!

As for Laimbeer, who has just returned from the rematch, Li Shengli feels that it is necessary to synchronize his off-season time with Gill!

…

The Hornets' afternoon training on the away road continued as usual. Because there was a game in the evening, the intensity was not high. It could only be regarded as running-in and cooperation, finding the state. After dinner, they waited until the dark night came in Detroit...

On the night of January 25th.

Detroit Pistons VS Charlotte Hornets!

Before the game even started, the Palace of Auburn Hills, a stadium with more than 20,000 seats, was packed. Not to mention it was packed. More than half of the fans were standing waiting for the game to start, cheering for the home team. The whole venue was noisy. It was considered the Palace of Auburn Hills. After it was put into use in 1988, there were one of the few hot scenes, and all of this was to 'welcome' the new enemy from Charlotte - the Hornets.

…

The Hornets' starting lineup has not changed. It's not that they don't want to change. In fact, there has been no change. Needless to say, Li Shengli, Curry, and Bogues, as well as the two forwards Johnson and Newman, the players on the bench have not been able to change. Great player for Canton.

Therefore, if the Hornets want to win this game, they still have to play to the same level as they did against the Pistons at home. You must know that it was a 20-point halftime lead to determine the victory. If the first half of this game cannot be opened, , the main players do not have the physical ability to cope with the next game, and the situation is really worrying.

As for the Pistons.

The starting center, Bill Laimbeer, is certain that this revenge battle that has been clamoring for will be his revenge, and he does not want to miss the matchup with Li Shengli.

The starting power forward, a slut and rebounder, Dennis Rodman, is a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. Last season, he topped the NBA in rebounds with an average of 18.7 rebounds per game. In NBA history, he is only ranked second to Wilt Chamberlain's average of 19.2 rebounds per game. Off the backboard, he is not very strong offensively, but defensively he is a talented player among small power forwards.

The starting small forward, veteran Mark Aguirre, was the No. 1 pick in 1981 and was absent from the Pistons' two championships.

The starting point guard, the Smiling Assassin, Isiah Thomas, needless to say, was the second overall pick in 1981 and the starting guard in this year's All-Star Eastern Conference.

The starting shooting guard, Joe Dumars, is a breath of fresh air in the era when the Pistons Bad Boys swept the NBA, with both competitive strength and sportsmanship.

…

The Pistons' starting lineup is really a group of experienced old hooligans. They are all the foundation players of the Pistons' two consecutive championships. They are full of cards. Compared with the young Hornets, they are really far behind. After all, the Hornets The history of the team only started in 1987, and the background is too different.

But... no one is afraid of Wasp after beating the old master to death with random punches.

After the entrance ceremony began, the on-site DJ was more enthusiastic than usual, introducing his players one by one in the excitement. When it was the Hornets' turn, the boos exploded. Even when Li Shengli entered the stadium, more than 20,000 people booed. The sound reached its peak.

"Look, Lee, you're so popular!" Curry joked.

"Shit, I also kicked one of Ranbir's balls. Why don't they boo me like they did to Li!" Boggs was unwilling to be the one who booed the most enthusiastically.

"Shut up, unless you can kick Ranbir's other ball in this game, you won't be able to enjoy this kind of treatment!" Curry joked.

"You two, please stop talking." Li Shengli was helpless to these two live treasures. At this time, the two sides came together to shake hands, and Thomas and Laimbeer from the Pistons side walked up with two disgusting smiles.
