Reborn My Name Is Kobe

Chapter 106: Battle of the Motor City

After Eddie Jones and I became each other's sparring partners, our training results were indeed very good. Anyway, I feel that I can add some one-on-one intensive training on top of the individual training, so it will indeed be a great success again.

Nothing could be better.

Eddie Jones was also quite satisfied with his state today. As for the one-on-one duel between me and Eddie Jones, it actually did not take place because just after he and I practiced together for about forty minutes, Shaq

Players from other teams also came to the arena.

This surprised me a bit. If Shaq seemed to be in a good state of mind today, he probably went out to play a lot in the past two days, and some other Lakers players also followed him to the arena.

I didn't expect Shaq and other Lakers players to come so early today. Although it's not early for me, it is indeed quite early for them. Of course, this is definitely a good thing.

Something I'm very happy to see.

Now that Shaq is here, I propose that the team be divided into two teams for a five-on-five intra-squad match. Although head coach Silver Fox Harris did not ask everyone to come to the team for training in the afternoon today, this is indeed a very good

Opportunities, every team training can actually bring some more or less chemical reactions to our team.

Unexpectedly, Shaq agreed decisively today. As long as Shaq spoke up, other Lakers players basically had no objections. Now the Lakers have actually formed a faction centered on Shaq.

The rest is mainly composed of myself, Eddie Jones and a few substitute players. Of course, Scott is still on Shaq's side.

In order to be as fair as possible, Shaq was on a team with a few backup players, and Eddie Jones and I were on a team with the other three starters, but the trick was that the tallest person on our team was only Robert Horry.

, he is definitely at a disadvantage when facing Shaq, but it’s hard to say, at least his three-point range can become a weapon that gives Shaq a headache.

The two teams we divided into the Lakers had a total of three confrontations in the next more than an hour. Each time, the side that scored 21 points first won. In the end, Eddie Jones and I won with a big victory.

They lost to the team led by Shaq by a score of 1 to 2.

In fact, I can see some surprise on Eddie Jones's face, because even though he and I both felt pretty good, we still lost to several substitute players led by Shaq.

It's a bit incredible.

But it's not without reason. Today, Robert Horry was completely crushed when he faced off against Shaq. He was crushed in every aspect. More than half of their team's points came from Shaq.

Of course, there is nothing that can be done about this. I originally thought that Robert Horry could play a certain role on the outside, but Shaq was particularly excited today, and his pace on the defensive end was very fast, and he didn't even give Robert Horry many open shots.

Originally, Shaq was relatively weak when defending the pick-and-roll, but the quality of Robert Horry's pick-and-roll was not high, so it was difficult to directly use his pick-and-roll to create good opportunities.

If Eddie Jones and I hadn't played very well today, we probably wouldn't have won a game. The only game we won was with Eddie Jones and I hitting consecutive three-pointers to completely open the score.

And once our feel declines, it will be difficult to win against Shaq, who has always been able to provide stable output in the paint.

Through this intra-team game, I also realized that Shaq is indeed the foundation of our Lakers team. Only if he maintains stable performance can our Lakers team have the most basic strength guarantee.

Eddie Jones and I are the players who can determine the upper limit of our Lakers team. Our performance will affect whether we have a chance to defeat the most powerful teams in the league, so our Lakers team is integrated.

, we should work together.

Because the tacit understanding between Shaq and I on the court has been increasing day by day in many recent games, even if we still have some small frictions after the game, everything is diluted by the joy brought by victory. Even if there are conflicts between the two sides at this time

They can still tolerate it for a while.

I believe that as long as Shaq and I can continue to lead the Lakers to victory, these off-court conflicts will not be worth mentioning.

I ended my training temporarily after six o'clock. After all, I had practiced since the morning, and my body was starting to feel a little weak. I had to play a game against the Detroit Pistons later, so I needed to take a shower before eating.

Eat something, and finally use meditation to restore your physical and mental state.

Maybe it’s because today’s training was a bit long and intense. I really didn’t have much appetite for dinner, so I found a spaghetti restaurant to eat. This taste brought back some memories of Kobe’s childhood. I’m recalling these now.

When I look at the scenes of Kobe's childhood, I no longer feel as uncomfortable as before. It seems that I have gradually gotten used to it all.

I eat very slowly and cannot overeat after exercise. Pasta can supplement me with some carbohydrates, and then paired with some yogurt, cheese, etc., can supplement me with enough protein.

After dinner, I did not go back to the court directly. Instead, I went back to the locker room first, and then found a place to sit down and meditate. Recently, I have been meditating more and more frequently.

Many times I will enter a meditative state at any time. Even if it is just a few dozen seconds or a few minutes, meditation can bring me some help. During meditation, my body and mind gradually change.

I feel more unified, and the amazing thing is that I can also have conversations with Kobe's soul from time to time in a meditative state, and exchange some basketball knowledge with him.

Now I seem to have shared all the memories with Kobe, and he can also know things about my previous life. He is quite curious about the era of my previous life. When I am in a meditative state, I will tell some things about my previous life.

Things, and the era in my previous life, there is no doubt that Kobe is a very curious guy. He now has a lot of time. In addition to watching what I usually do, he also spends a lot of time on

I devoted myself to understanding the memories of my past life.

This also happened to help me, because he seems to be able to enter some subconscious states that I can't enter now, and some of my forgotten past life memories there may be able to be found with his help.

.

I am looking forward to the future when Kobe and I will be in charge of a game, or several quarters of a game. This is really interesting. With his character, I don’t know what kind of performance he will have on the court. Then I will

It's nice to be able to take a back seat and silently watch him go to the court to be awesome, while I am responsible for traveling and playing with Jessica, hahahaha, it's pretty good.

A few hours later, our Lakers' away game against the Detroit Pistons was about to begin. Under the introduction of the commentator, the starting players of both teams entered the court one after another. Our Lakers' starting players still did not

I don't know most of the Pistons' starting players, but I do know shooting guard Joe Dumars and small forward Grant Hill.

This year should be Grant Hill's third season in the league. I read the scouting report on him before the game. This season, he averaged more than 20 points per game, and also had 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

He can be regarded as a quite versatile forward player. You must know that in this era, he can achieve such data, which is even very close to the average data of a superstar.

Before the game, I went to head coach Silver Fox Harris and told him that I really wanted to play against Grant Hill. He was not very willing at first, but he couldn't stand my repeated requests and finally agreed to let me play against him.

Grant Hill.

I will not let go of every opportunity to fight against a strong opponent. Only by fighting against such a strong opponent can I discover my own shortcomings as much as possible and improve my strength faster.

To survive in the fiercely competitive NBA, you must always be full of a sense of crisis, and your biggest opponent is never others, but yourself. Only after you overcome your own arrogance and inertia can you continue to

Challenge your own limits.

After the game started, Shaq still jumped to the first offensive opportunity relatively easily. After Van Exel got the ball, he quickly moved the ball to the frontcourt to look for a suitable offensive opportunity.

In fact, although the Detroit Pistons' lineup does not seem to have a few famous players, their record this season is still very good, with a winning rate of close to 70%, which means that we cannot take them too lightly.

And the less famous players there are, the better their team basketball will be, which we already experienced when we played against the Boston Celtics in the last game.

Shaq is still very fierce after the start. This guy plays extremely fiercely at the beginning of almost every game. Of course, this is due to his character. He wants to strike first and is also caused by the team's tactical design.

At the beginning of the game, let Shaq, the most stable scoring point, be opened first, which can quickly attract the attention of the opponent's defensive players and change their defensive positions. Only in this way can we better create better offensive opportunities for our outside players.

Shaq is generally in good shape after the start. He doesn't usually train much, but his physical talent is really terrifying. His strong athletic ability and invincible explosive power. Now that he has gained weight, his entire body is stronger than guarding him.

A player can swim several laps ahead. As long as he has enough physical fitness, he is basically invincible in the paint.

After the Pistons started, they were not willing to double-team Shaq too early, so they had no choice but to let Shaq make trouble inside. Maybe their strategy was to let Shaq attack alone, since his physical fitness is limited anyway.

, as long as our outside players are not allowed to shoot away, the point difference will not be too big, at least we can still play in the second half.

If we double-team Shaq too early, we can shoot very easily from the outside, so the point difference will widen quickly, and Shaq's physical fitness will be well preserved.

In fact, many teams have deployed their defensive tactics in this way, allowing Shaq to score crazily in the first half. As long as the score is not too far behind, they will get a chance in the second half.

In fact, there are so many games

This defensive tactic used by the opponent was quite effective. Shaq's combat effectiveness did drop a lot in the second half, especially after the fourth quarter. It's a pity that I was there. At the end of many games, I relied on me and the team I had just cultivated with Shaq.

Some tacit understanding has snatched some victories into our hands.

Although there is sometimes an element of luck involved, it is obvious that our Lakers are not very afraid of our opponents using this tactic, because even though Shaq was not as ferocious in the second half as he was in the first half, he is still quite effective as long as he is on the court.

The huge deterrent ability, plus I tend to explode in the second half, can make up for the negative impact of Shaq's decline in physical fitness in the second half.

However, Shaq was in really good shape today. Several of his casual hook shots actually hit the backboard and finally bounced into the basket. I don’t know if he was aiming for the backboard.

Well, I just got in by luck.

In less than four minutes of the game, Shaq had already scored 10 points in a row, hitting all 5 of his shots, including three dunks and two hooks.

At the Pistons' home court, there were many fouls against Shaq that could have been called a two-plus-one, but Shaq didn't seem to care about them at all, because for him, free throws may become something that interferes with the continuity of his touch.

He was happy that the referee would not call these fouls. Anyway, he could hit the ball into the basket despite being fouled by several people.

It seems that the only person who can stop Shaq is his own physical fitness. In today's league, there are too few people who can directly defend him with one-on-one defense, or there are none. The big dream Olajuwon is here.

Even at his age, he can't hold Shaq. Mutombo is tall and has enough wingspan, but his athletic ability and lower body strength are a little worse. Last time Shaq played against Uncle Mu, he was able to beat him to death.

Knocked out a big chunk.

Others like this year's rookie Marcus Camby, although he is also a defensive master, is only a rookie player after all, and his physical strength is too different. Other top centers in the league like Mourning, Admiral,

Ewing and others are actually one weight behind Shaq, and it is unlikely that they can truly guard against Shaq after he has fully exploded.

Shaq scored consecutively, but on the other hand, the Detroit Pistons fell into an offensive short-circuit state after the start, only relying on free throws to score four points, and Grant Hill, who I was facing, didn't seem to have much desire to attack.

, on the contrary, their meritorious veteran Joe Dumars seemed very positive after the start.

It's a pity that time is not forgiving after all. His movement speed is quite slow now. The threat on the offensive end is actually not very big. In addition, his height is not high for a shooting guard, so once his speed drops, he will not be able to use it.

What a particularly powerful offensive method.

It seems that my choice to face Grant Hill was not wrong. Just because he is not exerting strength now does not mean that he will not exert strength in the future. Joe Dumars is definitely not as strong as Grant Hill. As long as I can compete with him today,

If we have a certain advantage among the players, then the victory in today’s game is basically within our grasp as a Lakers team.

Finally, after Shaq scored his twelfth point, Grant Hill began to exert his strength. At this time, the Pistons were already eight points behind our Lakers. They were already behind by these points in less than five minutes.

That’s a lot.

The Pistons' head coach had no intention of calling a timeout. He seemed to be very confident in the players' ability to solve problems on the court, or he felt that he could not change the situation on the court if he called a timeout at this time.

After Grant Hill pulled away, he prepared to play singles. He was relatively far away from my position, and I actually took a step back slightly because the scouting report said that his first step was very fast and his acceleration was very fast.

He is six feet eight inches tall, and I am a full two inches shorter than him. If he can get past me after the first step, it will be very difficult for me to interfere with him defensively.

It's difficult.

Grant Hill placed the ball very low, but I didn't actually defend him very closely, so this action was more like a habitual action on his offensive end. I knew he was ready to launch it at any time.

Preparatory actions for attack.

Sure enough, I saw Grant Hill making a tentative step with a small range of motion on the spot. First, he made a forward fake move to the left, but his feet did not move. My waist moved slightly, and the inertia made me a little incomplete.

After stabilizing my body, Grant Hill took advantage of a moment when my body stiffened and immediately launched a real breakthrough.

Grant Hill's first step is really fast. The most important thing is that he is tall enough and his stride is long enough. Although someone like Iverson will have a faster first step, after all, his height and stride

The range is limited, so even if you let him occupy a certain offensive position, you still have a chance to pursue and defend.

But once Grant Hill breaks through you by more than half a body, it will be difficult for you to pursue his attack. At this time, I was already one body behind him in an instant.

But Shaq was squatting in the penalty area at this time. Shaq was quite excited today. When we were separated into two groups for team training before the game, he was extremely active on the defensive end and started the game.

After that, he also showed a completely different defensive enthusiasm than before. He would now actively defend many balls that he would normally let go.

Although I don't know why Shaq showed such a change, at least this change is very good and is a good thing for our entire Lakers team.

Facing the menacing Shaq, Grant Hill didn't dare to confront him head-on. He just made a sudden stop and shot from mid-range to complete the attack. His shooting posture was quite handsome, but of course it was still worse than pull-up shots like Jordan Dandy's.

It was a little bit bigger, but his bounce speed was very fast and his body seemed very light. Shaq's defense actually didn't completely save the ball. The ball still gave him quite a lot of room to shoot.

Grant Hill's shot hit, and the home audience on the sidelines burst into cheers, but the noise was much lower than the Boston Celtics' home fans we faced in the last game, but that said

It seems that few fans in the league can match the enthusiasm of the North Shore Garden Arena. Even the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers cannot achieve such a loud fan voice.

Although Grant Hill made the ball, we didn't think it was anything, because Shaq and I's defensive strategy for him was actually correct, which was to force him to use jump shots from mid-to-long distances to complete the offense. After all, this is relative.

It's a shot with relatively low offensive efficiency. Judging from Shaq's efficiency on the offensive end, if they keep playing like this, the Lakers will only continue to widen the score difference.

At this time, our Lakers still led the Detroit Pistons by 6 points, 12-6. In the next offensive round, Shaq seemed to no longer want to play alone, but at this time, the Pistons' defensive strategy still did not change.

We are still conducting one-on-one defense against Shaq, but the continuous positive performance on the offensive and defensive ends has already put Shaq into a small fatigue period in advance. We must now change our offensive strategy.

I held the ball and observed the Pistons' defensive strategy from outside the three-point line, and found that they were completely defensive in one-on-one man-to-man tactics, with almost no area assistance. At this time, I considered attacking directly through singles.

I didn't ask Shaq to come up and give me a pick-and-roll, but I motioned to other teammates to open up the space and give me a one-on-one opportunity with Grant Hill. Just now he hit me under my defense, and now I also

Want to return it.

Facing my sharp gaze, Grant Hill's eyes seemed quite calm, as if I was just a very insignificant player and not worth the energy he put into defending.

His attitude a little irritated me. This anger, with that familiar warmth, instantly spread throughout my body. I felt that my arms and torso were a little hot at this time.

In this case, my reaction speed and movement rhythm were a beat faster than usual. When my whole body felt very hot, no one could stop my attack.

Grant Hill didn't defend me personally, and seemed to be a little wary of my breakthrough ability. At this time, I also used probing steps to judge his defensive focus. When I found that he didn't seem to be prepared to defend me.

When I made the three-pointer, I had a plan in mind. I first made a breakthrough movement to the left and took a step forward.

Grant Hill reacted very quickly after seeing my action. He obviously didn't want to give me any room to break through, but my action was actually just a feint, followed by a pull-back and a front-to-front cross.

At this time, Grant Hill's center of gravity had not completely relaxed, and I did not take this opportunity to break through to my right hand.

Because I found that Grant Hill's footwork was very good, and he had a certain advantage over me in terms of height and wingspan, my change of direction in front of the body did not completely make him lose his center of gravity, so this move

Breaking through at the moment may not necessarily occupy a very good position, but then my mind suddenly moved, I took a small step back after the ball, and my body was already outside the three-point line.

Then I raised my hand and shot a three-pointer directly. Grant Hill obviously didn't expect that I would use this step-back three-pointer. In fact, my step-back three-pointer was different from that of Deng Ge later.

There is a big difference between a step-back three-pointer. First of all, my step-back action is explained clearly. It is a very ordinary step-back three-pointer, because I don’t know the referee’s standards for punishing step-back steps in this era.

, so I don’t dare to use Brother Deng’s step-back three-pointer of two consecutive steps.

Today, I finally regained my good three-point shooting touch, and this three-pointer came in response. I think about how many consecutive minutes I have been on the court without making a three-pointer!

At this time, our Lakers had led the Pistons by 9 points, 15-6, and finally their head coach called a timeout. Obviously, he could tolerate Shaq's explosion, but he saw that I was at the three-point line.

If the outside shot is open, then he will no longer be able to endure it. After all, if Shaq and I break out at the same time, I am afraid that the Pistons will be defeated in the first half.

During the timeout, head coach Silver Fox Harris repeatedly emphasized that we must maintain this mental state, and it is best to get the lead to more than 15 points in the first quarter, so that we will fully control the initiative in this game.

The next victory is just within our grasp.

All the players of the Lakers are in good spirits today, and even the roars are much louder than in the previous games. Although today is still an away game, after passing

After the first two away games, our Lakers' fighting will was completely aroused. This game was hard for the Pistons.

And I feel that today’s Pistons team’s desire to win is not very strong. At least when facing us, the mental outlook and momentum of all the players are much worse. The sport of basketball often relies on the momentum on the court.

.

This is like leading an army in a war. When the morale rises, it can be overwhelming and invincible. But once the morale is depressed, the army may be defeated and retreat. Therefore, when comparing yourself with a powerful opponent on the basketball court, not only cannot

If you are afraid of him, you must show a stronger desire to win and aggressiveness. Only in this way can you increase your momentum and change the rhythm of the game to a more favorable aspect for you.

After returning from the timeout, the Pistons made substitutions in advance. They replaced the inside players and replaced them with two smaller but faster forward players. This substitution is also similar to what many teams have done recently when dealing with Shaanxi.

The routine used when defeating is similar, which is to let the mismatch hit Shaq. If you can't guard Shaq on the defensive end, then take a gamble on the offensive end.

And their substitution also means that double teams and fouls on Shaq are coming.

The Pistons began to use pick-and-roll tactics in the first offensive round after returning from the timeout. Their tactical thinking was also to try their best to pull the players opposite Shaq outside the three-point line, which can effectively reduce the number of opponents.

The threat posed by Shaq on the defensive end. Although Shaq's defensive enthusiasm was pretty good today, in the end he still couldn't defend beyond the three-point line.

Using pick-and-roll tactics to allow Shaq to defend outside players is also a good way. In short, the Pistons can only find ways to change their tactics now. After all, their previous tactics have proven to be ineffective.

We originally wanted to use the switch after the pick-and-roll to prevent Shaq from switching with the opponent's defenders. However, in fact, the two inside players the Pistons replaced seemed to have good three-point shooting abilities.

After all, Shaq's loopholes on the defensive end were relatively easy to catch. In the next four or five rounds, the Pistons successfully scored two goals from beyond the three-point line, and then took advantage of Shaq's defensive changes.

Because of his lack of concentration, he cut inside into the penalty area and scored two points.

Our Lakers' offense after the timeout was relatively poor. The Pistons' defense did begin to shrink significantly. When Shaq's physical fitness declined slightly, their quick double-team tactics were able to put Shaq into a trap.

He went through a relatively big pain. After all, his center of gravity when holding the ball was too high. As the saying goes, a tiger cannot hold down a pack of wolves.

The one or two seconds after Shaq catches the ball in the paint is the most dangerous time. If the opposing team desperately double-teams Shaq at this time, it will probably be effective.

This has been reflected in the previous games. It seems that most teams have formed a relatively systematic defensive strategy when dealing with Shaq, that is, at the beginning

Let Shaq attack crazily first, which will quickly consume his physical energy, and then double-team Shaq crazily. This will have a high chance of causing Shaq's mistakes, even if he is fouled.

The free throw line is also a good way to defend.

And to be honest, Shaq's emotional control ability is not very good, so if you can find ways to anger Shaq, you can often achieve some good results.

Once Shaq fell into an angry mood and played crazy singles, the opponent team's defensive strategy was successful. In fact, the more ferocious Shaq was in the first half, the greater his state declined in the second half.

It was obvious that Shaq overexerted himself today and fell into an overly emotional state from the beginning. To be honest, this was not good for him or our entire Lakers team.

Continuous mistakes and disordered offensive movements allowed the Lakers to be beaten by the Pistons in an 8-2 spurt, and the point difference between the two sides returned to only 3 points.

At this time, there were about four minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and head coach Silver Fox Harris decisively called a timeout.

Shaq seemed a little excited during the timeout, and no one dared to talk to him or provoke him. Everyone knows that this guy's character is like a spoiled child. You can't directly accuse him of treating him.

, the more you accuse him, the bigger his temper will be, and the more rebellious his attitude will be, so the head coach Silver Fox Harris just makes tactical arrangements in a gentle manner at this time, without any mention of Shaq's qualities on the court.

question.

In fact, Shaq is indeed equivalent to a double-edged sword. While it has huge lethality, you must also be careful not to be harmed by it. Many times, Shaq's willful behavior on the offensive and defensive ends actually hurts the ball.

He's on the team, but there are always people who will stand up and clean up the mess left behind for him.

This person could be me, Eddie Jones, or any other Lakers player. Of course, although this is a shortcoming of Shaq, it is also what makes this guy less annoying.

.

The main purpose of head coach Silver Fox Harris calling this timeout is to make substitutions. Now he usually directly replaces substitute players after entering the second half of the first quarter, and every time it is five up and five down.

Law.

To be honest, this method of substitution actually has some risks, because many times the new substitute players cannot adapt to the team's tactical arrangement or the game state on the field so quickly. Another one likes to go up five

The head coach of the fifth team is the legendary coach Popovich. Of course, it is obvious that Silver Fox Harris's coaching level is much worse than Popovich.

However, it is strange to say that since this season, head coach Silver Fox Harris has always liked five ups and five downs, but there have not been many situations where the players who were substituted could not adapt to the rhythm of the game. This may be because we, the Lakers

There is usually a player with relatively strong personal ability among the team's substitute players.

At the beginning of the season, I supported the team's offensive banner when I was on the bench. Later, after I became the starter, Eddie Jones came on the bench to take my previous position and lead the bench players in the game.

Facts have also proved that both myself and Eddie Jones have played the role of the sixth man of this team relatively well. In addition, although some of our Lakers substitute players are not very strong, their enthusiasm for the game is still the same.

It's very good, it can be seen from the fact that they have gone to the gym to train in advance for the last few games.

After the timeout, Eddie Jones and Byron Scott led three other substitutes on the field. At this time, the Pistons also replaced their substitutes, but they did not make five-up-five-down substitutions.

Instead, Grant Hill was left on the court, probably because they lacked a sixth man in the lineup, so they usually left a starter with good scoring ability on the court when making substitutions.

Lead other substitute players.

Of course, this substitution method is also a regular substitution method used by most teams.

I returned to the bench. Originally, I wanted to close my eyes and relax during this period and enter a meditative state, but the situation on the court still attracted me, so I decided to continue watching what happened on the court for the time being.

Everything, instead of meditating at this time.

The tacit understanding among our Lakers bench players has become higher and higher. Even Byron Scott, who I felt was very unreliable before, performed well. I think with his rich game experience over the years

, and it’s unlikely that the performance will be so bad.

However, Eddie Jones is still slightly behind in the matchup with Grant Hill. Grant Hill is taller and more athletic than Eddie Jones, and has strong personal singles ability.

But Grant Hill also has a relatively big weakness. The pre-game scouting report shows that his three-point shooting percentage so far this season is only 28%, not even 30%. This makes you difficult to defend him.

You can let go of his three-point shots as much as possible and conduct contracted defense.

Of course, I used to shrink to defend him before, but his first step is indeed a bit fast, and in addition to being inaccurate in three-pointers, his mid-range jump shot is quite powerful, so you must master the distance between you and him.

defensive distance, otherwise it will be difficult to truly defend him.

Maybe it's because Eddie Jones just came on the court and hasn't fully warmed up, and Grant Hill played most of the quarter, and during most of the quarter he didn't exert much effort on both offense and defense. Now that I think about it, the reason why he

The purpose of retaining strength before was to have enough strength to take advantage during the competition stage of the team's second lineup.

Eddie Jones is now facing Grant Hill's all-out attack, and he seems a little tired. Without Shaq's strong frame protection in the interior, Grant Hill can directly break into our Lakers' goal as long as he passes Eddie Jones.

In the penalty area, it is easier to complete a layup or dunk.

Eddie Jones's single-body defense is not bad, but even I find it extremely difficult to guard against Grant Hill's breakthrough. Now he naturally has no way to guard against Grant Hill's full-strength breakthrough. Grant Hill has twice in a row.

After successfully breaking through our Lakers' defense and reaching the basket, our Lakers' overall defense could only shrink inward.

However, at this time, there was an inside player named Terry Mills on the bench of the Pistons who was firing frequently from the outside. He hit two three-pointers in the remaining minutes of the first quarter. I only remembered this guy later.

The three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 42%. In fact, the Pistons have two players who shoot more than 40% of their three-pointers, and five players who shoot more than 35% of their three-pointers.

This can be regarded as an early one-star four-star lineup, with Grant Hill as the breakthrough core, and then paired with a group of outside shooters. No wonder the Pistons lineup does not seem to have any powerful top stars, but the winning rate is not low.

, it’s no wonder that Grant Hill averaged seven assists per game this season. His playing style and role in the team at this time is really a bit like the later little emperor LeBron James.

It's no wonder that he became the so-called candidate to succeed Jordan as soon as he entered the league. If it weren't for injuries, he would indeed be the top superstar with his talent and strength. Relatively speaking, his biggest weakness is his three weaknesses.

The shooting percentage from point shooting has always been relatively low.
