Piston rises from 1986 to 1987. In the next two seasons, they lost to Celtic and Lakers in the Eastern Conference finals and finals respectively. In the Eastern Conference semi-final of 1988, they created the world-famous Jordan rule, that is, using various means to destroy Jordan's offensive rhythm as much as possible, using a series of unconventional actions such as waving and dragging to cut off his contact with his teammates, and finally eliminating the bulls with 4- 1. At that time, Jordan was the MVP of the regular season, the scoring champion, the stealing champion and the best defensive player. Pippen is just a rookie, scoring single digits and not giving Jordan the help he deserves.
1989, the Pistons traded Dantley and the first draft pick for Thomas' good friend Dallas forward mark aguirre, which constituted the last piece of the klock -20 puzzle. The Pistons won the first 63 games of the league in the regular season. After two rounds of sweeping, they met again in the Eastern Conference finals. Their rough, tough and even dirty style once again shocked bulls such as klock-10. Although Jordan of 1989 still played well and Pippen made progress, the Bulls still lost to the Pistons 2-4 and did not enter the final stage. Pistons swept the Lakers with a magical 4-0 in the subsequent finals and won the first championship trophy in the team's history.
The next season, Jordan and Pippen grew up gradually, but the bad boy army was still an insurmountable obstacle for them. The two teams still meet in the Eastern Conference finals. In these seven series, Jordan scored 32. 1 each, including 47 points in one game and 42 points in the other. Pippen could have scored 16+6+4 at this time, but the piston's iron and blood defense suppressed the others and finally won the deciding game. The pistons, who have reached the finals for three consecutive years, are unstoppable. They beat the Trailblazers 4-/kloc-0-0 in the finals and became the third defending NBA team after the Lakers and Celtics.
It's just that the tables have turned. When the piston hit the third consecutive championship, he met Jordan and turned into a butterfly. At this time, Pippen has grown into a comprehensive superstar like 22+8+5, and Jordan has formed a perfect double giant. With a total score of 4-0, the Bulls neatly solved the official summit of the Pistons in the Eastern Conference finals. In these four years, the bulls led by Jordan were defeated by the Pistons with scores of 4- 1, 4-2 and 4-3 respectively, but Jordan did not give up, persisted and forbeared, and the bulls did not change much. Finally, it was defeated 4-0 in the fourth year.
