If which team won the championship in this century is the most surprising, it is undoubtedly the Pistons in 2004, with no superstars. Even though these players are below the All-Star level, they won the championship by relying on the defense of iron and blood, which also confirmed the classic quotations that bill russell said in those years. Offense can bring tickets, and defense can win the championship. In that era when a game was only 80 -90 points, defense was indeed the most important factor for a team, and this.

And few players in the league can break their own iron drum defense. Billups and Hamilton, the outside and CIC kings, Prince Prince Prince in the front and double Wallace in the inside were all defensive experts in the league at that time. They may not be top-notch on the offensive end, but they have both offensive and defensive skills. In the 2004 finals, they stopped Kobe from shooting only 38%, and inside O 'Neal was prevented from catching the ball. They targeted Kobe and Wallace.

Except Kobe Bryant, none of the four quarterbacks in the league could break through the iron barrel array of the pistons. In the first round of the 2003 playoffs, McGrady led the Magic against the Pistons, which was the first in the East. The first four games have achieved a lead of 3- 1, almost creating a miracle of black eight. As a result, the pistons strengthened their defense in the next game, especially the mid-range shooting and breakthrough against McGrady. Finally, McGrady was locked up and the piston reversed. In the first round of the 2005 playoffs, the Pistons played against the 76 ers led by Iverson. Iverson is fast and has strong breakthrough ability, but he still can't break through the defense of the pistons, and finally 1-4 is eliminated.

At that time, there were only three people who could disrupt the pistons' bloody defense. The first one is very familiar to everyone. He is Ginobili, known as the magic knife. I still remember when Ginobili played against Pistons in the 2005 finals, his snake-like breakthrough and European pace made Pistons' defense useless. In the breakthrough again and again, the piston tried to double-team, but he still couldn't stop the demon sword, because his breakthrough was really weird. In Kobe, McGrady and Iverson,

The second is Wade. In the Eastern Conference finals in 2005, Wade showed his super breakthrough ability in the face of the iron barrel array of Pistons and Five Tigers. His performance once helped the Heat get a 3-2 lead, but it was eventually reversed. But in the Eastern Conference in 2006, Wade's breakthrough became faster and more experienced. He pierced their defense through the breakthrough, and Wade shot as high as 6 1 in the whole series.

And a young James. In the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2006, James was only 2 1 year-old, but he could play 7 games with Pistons before being defeated. At that time, James was young and energetic, and his offensive style was mainly breakthrough. Coupled with his excellent physical talent, the piston could not stop the little emperor at all. In the 2007 Eastern Conference finals, James finally achieved revenge. I still remember that James scored 25 points at the last minute in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain. James destroyed their defense through many breakthroughs. In the end, 22-year-old James reached the finals. He stepped on the piston and the five tigers. After this year, the piston and the five tigers disbanded, and James directly scattered the piston.
