With Liu Han's strong comeback, the Lakers have once again become the favorites for the championship. The Lakers' offensive firepower against the top eight teams in the East is amazing.

After back-to-back games on the road, the Lakers continued their road trip, and after a day off, the Lakers traveled to Detroit, where they will take on the Detroit Pistons on April 5.

In the middle of the season, the Pistons fired their head coach Doug Collins, and Doug Collins, who also led the Pistons to a 54-28 record last season, won only 21 of the 45 games in charge this season, although this result is not too bad, but it is clear that such results are not satisfactory to the management of the Pistons, so Doug Collins was fired, and the team's head assistant coach Alvin Gentry served as interim head coach.

Alvin Gentry studied under Larry Brown and was an assistant coach to Larry Brown in '89 with current Spurs head coach Popovich. This is his second time coaching an NBA team, the first being as interim head coach of the Miami Heat in '94-95.

Grant Hill has been hailed as Jordan's successor since he entered the league, and during the period of Jordan's first retirement, Grant Hill was the object of the league's attention, and he averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his rookie season. After Jordan's comeback, the league also tried to train Hill to become a superstar in order to contain Jordan in the East, but what people didn't expect was that Jordan, who retired for almost 20 months, quickly regained his form after his comeback and led the Bulls to a shocking 72-win record, and for a while, Grant Hill fell into an embarrassing situation.

The Pistons are 34-41 so far this season and have a slight chance of finishing in the top eight in the East. The game against the Lakers will certainly be very difficult, but the Pistons will not dare to let go of any opportunity.

The Lakers are still their original starting lineup for this game, and George Krent still attaches great importance to Grant Hill's defense, but Ray Allen has done a good job defensively lately and can choose to believe it.

The game began with O'Neal winning in a pick-and-roll with Pistons center Bisendler.

The Lakers attacked first, the Pistons retreated quickly, and the Lakers didn't get a chance to play the fast break.

Nash slowly dribbled the ball across the halfcourt and hoisted it to O'Neal, who was much better than Sendeler in terms of tonnage and height, and there was no reason why the Lakers couldn't take advantage of that.

O'Neal received the ball and left Bisendler behind with a direct turn, and then scored two points with a dunk.

The Pistons served from the baseline, and point guard Lynch Hunt dribbled the ball past halftime before handing the ball to veteran Joe Dumas. Joe Dumas is thirty-five years old this year, he has experienced the most glorious period of the Pistons, at that time, even Jordan was suppressed by the Pistons' bad boy army, the current Pistons team is completely different from the team back then, but Joe Dumas has only one belief, which is to play every game.

After Jo Dumas got the ball, he faced Liu Han's defense, and he didn't dare to try to break through Liu Han easily, so he had to give the ball to Grant Hill.

Hill got the ball with his back to Ray Allen, then suddenly turned back past the ill-prepared Ray Allen and went inside, facing O'Neal's defense Hill scored with a light throw.

Against the veteran Grant Hill, Ray Allen is still inexperienced.

The Pistons started the game aggressively, and they weren't intimidated by the Lakers' prowess.

The Lakers' offense is still dominated by O'Neal's interior attack, and Liu Han brought Grant Hill, who came to defend him, to the weak side and waited for an opportunity.

O'Neal again forced the inside and gave Bisendeler a foul. After O'Neal lost weight, not only did his strength not decrease, but on the contrary, his strength on the inside line became even better.

The Lakers' two consecutive offenses were dominated by O'Neal, and Liu Han was just waiting for an opportunity on the weak side like a role player, which made some of the Pistons' pre-game arrangements useless. The Pistons specifically let Grant Hill, who has the toughest outside defense, defend Liu Han in this game.

The Pistons' next offense didn't work, and Joe Dumas' shot was interfered with by Liu Han, and the ball bounced out of the frame and was grabbed by O'Neal.

Nash seized the opportunity to go quickly, O'Neal made a pass to find Nash who was running in the front, and Liu Han and Ray Allen followed closely behind.

Nash ran to the Pistons' three-point line and was surrounded by Lynch Hunter's defense, but Nash didn't force it, but instead passed the ball to Ray Allen behind him with a clever crotch shot.

After receiving the ball, Ray Allen flew up and scored two points with a direct dunk, and the mistake in defending Grant Hill just now was also able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The Lakers are best known for their sharp, mercury-like fast offense this season, often with opposing defenders still in the frontcourt, while the Lakers' offense is over.

Grant Hill felt a trace of helplessness in his heart, even if he prevented Liu Han from death, but now it seems that the Lakers can also win, not to mention that Liu Han is really so easy to be prevented from death?

The Pistons continue to attack, they really play hard, the inside Bisendeler is not O'Neal's opponent at all, although the mid-range shooting is good, but the Lakers' super fast rotation speed will not give Bisendler a chance to shoot, the outside three-point only the veteran Joe Dumas has a certain projection ability, and others including Grant Hill are three-point sparse goods, especially Grant Hill, who shot less than two percent of his three-point shots in the first two seasons of the league.

The lack of projection ability can only attack the interior, but the Lakers are mainly young players and work very hard to defend breakthroughs, so only Grant Hill has a certain advantage.

Grant Hill relied on his physical advantage to break through Ray Allen continuously, which made Ray Allen very depressed.

The Lakers have always played O'Neal here, Liu Han only cruises on the outside, and the Pistons are very depressed about being made, wrap up O'Neal, the Lakers have strong firepower on the outside, don't wrap it, O'Neal singles are as simple as eating.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers led the Pistons by seven points, 24-17.

George Krent saw that Ray Allen was struggling to defend Hill on the court, so he replaced Ray Allen and Nash, replaced Brent Barry and Michael Finley, Liu Han controlled the ball and mastered the rhythm, Brent Barry defended Grant Hill, Finley was responsible for attacking the inside, and the Lakers changed their inside-based style of play and began to play the Hawks offense.

With the change of the Lakers' lineup, the Pistons gradually felt more and more difficult, the Lakers' outside line gave the Pistons a lot of pressure, plus O'Neal was in hot form today, shooting six of six free throws in the first eight minutes of the first quarter, and it was extremely hard for Bisendler.

Grant Hill has to tighten his teeth, like a bunker to hold the ball to the Lakers' interior to attack again and again, it is undeniable that his playing attitude is really very worthy of recognition, but this kind of hard way is not advisable. (To be continued.) )
