Champion Creed

Detroit Pistons, a city of the automobile industry.

This city is filled with blue-collar workers, full of auto assembly line workers.

And the two greatest eras of the Pistons seem like two cars assembled on the production line, full of similarities.

In the last season of the 1980s, Chuck Daly first started Detroit's production line.

He gathered a group of players who viewed defense as truth, with tough characters, full of the resilience of blue-collar workers, strong muscles, skilled in "murder and arson," piecing together an invincible war machine without any aesthetic beauty but enough to break through all obstacles, launching the greatest era in Detroit basketball history, making even Michael Jordan almost lose hope.

Sixteen years later, Joe Dumars, one of the components of that invincible war machine, almost replicated the process, assembling another invincible war machine from the production line.

The current war machine is even more extreme, as the Pistons in the 1980s at least had the Baby-Faced Assassin as a high-performance engine, while the parts Joe Dumars sought for the current car are not dazzling at all.

Ron Artest, an outcast from Chicago. Rasheed Wallace, a troublemaker from Portland. Chauncey Billups, a bust traded by multiple teams. Richard Hamilton, a frustrated mid-range shooter. Ben Wallace, an undrafted player in the 1996 draft, a center with a severely undersized height, once considered not worth a max contract despite being a DPOY.

Yet, this group of not-so-brilliant people provided everything needed for victory, turning this Detroit Pistons team into the toughest, most united, and most stubborn iron army since the NBA broadcasted in color television.

This blue army is as wild as the wild animals in the jungle, seemingly bringing the sound of muscles and steel clashing from Detroit's blue-collar workers to the basketball court.

A group like this is now about to bring God down to earth, turning him into a mortal as well.

The Dream Team's head coach Larry Brown, visiting the court, was caught by reporters as he left. He smiled and did not resist the interview. In fact, like Phil Jackson, Larry Brown is a person who enjoys the spotlight.

"Coach, regarding the current finals situation, do you have anything to say? Do you think the Golden State Warriors still have a chance to reverse?"

"Roger has dominated the NBA for too long, but no rule in NBA history does not lead to demise. The blue army is a symbol, just like when steady, defiant, fierce, and united Americans drove the arrogant British out of the American continent. They are about to drive Roger, this ruler, away. I like watching the Detroit Pistons play, and I want to take my hat off to their performance."

Larry Brown is very smart; every answer he gives now steers towards national sentiment, which can draw American fans to pay more attention to the Summer Olympics.

Of course, he indeed likes the Pistons' performance because Larry Brown is also adept at playing in this style.

If the Pistons succeed, he can completely replicate all of this to the Olympic arena to deal with Roger. In this way, the Dream Team would have no obstacles, and his script to becoming a god would have no hindrance either.

Upon returning from Greece, awaiting him would be flowers and praise.

He will become a hero.

An immortal legend.

Finally, Larry Brown faced the camera: "American basketball is beginning to reclaim everything it has lost."

This is not blind confidence. In Larry Brown's view, it's indeed too difficult for the Warriors to make a comeback.

Erik Spoelstra might have talent in tactical deployment, but does he know how to manage a team? Does he know how to revive a team that's down 0-2?

Amar'e Stoudemire, this second-year high school rookie, after experiencing the highlight of the previous round, has suddenly fallen to the bottom this round; can he adjust?

Marcus Camby was almost crushed by Ben Wallace; when facing such a strong opponent, will he still play seriously?

The problems this team needs to face next are not only the Detroit Pistons, as any team down 0-2 must first overcome their own barriers to regroup.

At this moment, in the Warriors' locker room, Roger's face was like frozen pork.

Detroit Pistons were even worse than he imagined.

As a player who has been playing since the 90s, Roger can responsibly say that the defense of this current Detroit Pistons is even more terrifying than the New York Gang.

The extreme defense, which Pat Riley pursued all his life, was finally realized by Rick Carlisle.

Moreover, this Pistons team still has offensive capabilities that New York does not possess.

That's right, the Pistons' offense is not considered top-notch, but it's already sufficient to match their defensive abilities.

If Roger and Shaq are the strongest duo in history, then peak Ben Wallace and peak Ron Artest are the strongest defensive duo in history.

In Roger's career, he has never encountered such defense.

Of course, giving up was never an option in Roger's career.

He prepared to say something to encourage the team, as when faced with a 0-2 deficit, the Warriors members must first not concede defeat, or else the game couldn't proceed.

But before Roger could do so, Spoelstra had already placed a bench in the middle of the locker room and sat down.

"Hey guys!" The rookie coach shouted, drawing everyone's attention to him.
