After the end of the 2001-2002 season, Jerry Starkerhouse, who averaged 21.4 points per game and was traded to the Wizards, from the Wizards to the team's second piece of the puzzle, Richard Hamilton, in 2002, Chauncey Billups, who had changed five teams in six years, joined the Pistons on a six-year, $35 million contract, which was hailed as one of the most valuable contracts in NBA history, and in the same year, the Pistons were drafted with the 23rd pick in the draft"The Little Prince" Tyshawn Prince, in the 2003-2004 season, when the door was about to close at the trade deadline, the Pistons, Bucks, Hawks, and Celtics completed a super big trade involving seven players.

In the 2003-2004 season, under the leadership of veteran coach Larry Brown, the Detroit Pistons finished the regular season with a 54-28 record and entered the playoffs as third in the East. eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs; In the second round, they defeated the defending Eastern Conference champion Nets 4-3. In the Eastern Conference Finals, they met their old rivals, the Pacers, but defeated the team that ranked first in the league in the regular season 4-2 to win the Eastern Conference championship and reach the Finals again after 14 years. In the finals, in the face of the Lakers' powerful "OK" combination, the Pistons finally broke almost everyone's pre-game predictions, and helped the Pistons regain the championship after a 14-year absence, ending the Lakers' championship dream with a disparity of 4-1.

This was the Pistons' most glorious and peak moment, but on November 19, 2004, all of this came to an abrupt end, and the game was a personal clash between Ben Wallace and Ron Artest, which eventually evolved into a full martial arts with all the players of both teams, and even several fans were involved, this incident was called the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident", which brought a great black spot to the NBA, and also incurred the largest fine in NBA history, since then, the Pistons' record has declined year after year. From this season can still wrestle with the Spurs Finals team, the team slipped to the Eastern Conference Finals team, after the end of this season, Ben Wallace left, the team reached the Eastern Conference Finals year after year, but it has always been difficult to go further, with the age of Billups, Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and other main players, the team slowly fell into a trough, and finally became one of the last teams in the league.

The current Pistons team has no desire in terms of record, and in the game is to develop two players, one player is born in 1986, the 24-year-old team's starting point guard, Rodney Starkey, the 15th pick in the first round in 2007, the Pistons picked Starkey, and in the summer league that year, Starkey's performance was amazing, can average 32.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game, on the offensive end, Starkey mainly relies on breakthroughs, and is very good at shooting in weightlessness situations, but the ability to shoot in the middle and long range is relatively poor, as the starting No. 1 position, the ability to control the ball is acceptable, but the passing ability is average, and the assist-to-turnover ratio also needs to be improved, in 21 games this season, Starkey can average 18.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game, shooting 45.5% from the field and 29.3% from three-point range. Contractually in the final year of his rookie contract, it is worth $2.77 million.

Another player in the Pistons program is born in 1990, only 20 years old Greg Monroe, 211 cm tall, 114 kg in weight, as a power forward and center, in 2010, the Pistons selected Monroe with the No. 7 pick in the first round, and since then has opened a long road to revival, on the offensive end, in addition to attacking within the three-second zone, Monroe's right small hook is also a small success, and has been tried and tested repeatedly in the game, in addition, there is no other effective independent offensive means, occasionally mid-distance, But it's not stable enough, the physical fitness and the ability to play singles on the back belong to the middle and lower reaches of the NBA interior group, the pass is very good, and often passes exquisite assists, and the ball control ability is at the top level in the NBA's interior line, and can hold the ball to break through and make kills, and there are fewer mistakes.

On the defensive end, the defense of the opponent's power forward is slow, and the physical fitness of the defense opponent's center is not good, which causes Monroe to foul too much, which affects Monroe's playing time and performance, this season Monroe can average 9.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, for Monroe, the Pistons did not hesitate to sign the team's meritorious veteran Ben Wallace, now 36, back with a two-year $3.8 million contract to train newcomers.

But the starting lineup of the year when the Pistons won the championship, Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement with the Celtics this year, and as early as 2008, the Pistons traded away the FMVP Chauncy Billups that year, and exchanged Allen Iverson, one of the "golden double guns" at that time, from the Nuggets.

Now, the players who are still insisting on the Pistons are the "Little Prince" Prince and Hamilton, when the Pistons won the championship, Prince was a sophomore rookie, but he was not well-known but he was tasked with blocking Kobe in the finals that year, and there is no one in the world who can prevent Kobe Bryant, but Prince did it, or did it eighty percent, maybe seventy percent, sixty percent, all in all, he limited Kobe Bryant to a normal Kobe level, so that the big shark became a loner, And all of Prince's accolades over the years have been defence-related - four All-Defensive Second Team awards. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the little prince is already thirty years old, his three-point shooting rate has begun to decline, only 28.9% this season, and the shooting rate is not high, only 44.8%, and he can average 10.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1,3 assists per game, but his defense is still there, and Prince is still responsible for marking the opponent's main scoring point in the game, which has never changed.

Richard Hamilton, who averaged 13.2 points per game this year, although he is 32 years old, he will still run at any cost of physical strength on the court - his main offensive means is to run without the ball to get out of the open space, and then catch the ball jumper, just like when he was 23 years old, he rarely shoots three-pointers, his three-point shots only account for about 10% of his shots, and the shooting rate is not high, only will exceed 33%, his breakthrough is not worth mentioning, but his jump shot, Ten years of precision, Prince and Hamilton, two decorated veterans, could die with the Pistons and then hang the No. 22 and No. 32 jerseys over the palace in Auburn Hills for posterity, or they could be traded for some of tomorrow's hopes, just like Chauncey Billups, who knows what the future holds.

In addition, in the starting lineup of the 2004 championship, there is Ben Wallace, as the undrafted pick that year, Wallace used his defense and rebounding to regain his own honor, he is a four-time All-Star, five-time All-Star selection, two-time rebounding king, one-time block king, four-time best defensive player, six-time best defensive team, five of which were a team, all these honors were completed by Wallace with his own height of 206 cm, 2005-2006, Wallace left Chicago due to a feud with the new head coach Sanders, and signed a 4-year, $60 million contract with the Bulls that set a record for NBA blue-collar contracts, and in 2008, Ben and Joe Smith were traded to the Cavaliers because of the failure to play on their knees, but the season was not over, and the Cavaliers used Ben as a bargaining chip to trade Shaquille O'Neal, and sent Ben Wallace to the Suns, and then the Suns bought out Ben Wallace's contract, and in 2009, the Pistons signed Ben Wallace on a one-year short contract, Ben Wallace performed well, and after the season, the Pistons offered a two-year, $3.8 million contract, allowing Ben Wallace to continue to play with the Pistons while also training new players such as Monroe. Ben Wallace is averaging 22.6 minutes per game this season, scoring 3-pointers, 6.5 rebounds and blocking a block.

Chaki Atkins, 36 years old, NBA standard rogue Han, before playing for the Pistons, was also in Europe, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Memphis Grizzlies, Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves and other teams, career averages 10 points, 3, 4 assists per game, offensive means are mainly three-point shots, breakthroughs are more frequent, but the shooting rate is not high, as the No. 1 position ball control ability is relatively poor, often there are unnecessary mistakesOn the defensive end, his height of 180 cm is obviously the "cash machine" of the opponent's star point guard, and he can play the data of second-rate players against third-rate players, second-rate players can play the data of first-rate players against him, and first-rate players can play superstar data against him.

Austin Daye, nicknamed "Uncle" by many young fans because of the homonym, is 22 years old, is a rookie selected by the Pistons in the 2009 draft with the fifteenth pick in the first round, and is now a rookie sophomore, although you are a "lottery rookie" but Daye's physical fitness has not reached the level of the NBA, Daye is in the fourth position, 211 cm tall and weighs only 90 kilograms, which makes him weak in the inside fight, not to mention Duncan, Gasol and other star-level No. 4 positions, Even when facing second-rate big forwards such as Landry, Scola, and Millsap, Daye's defensive ability is almost negligible, but Daye can reach such a high position entirely because Daye has a very good mid-range shooting ability, but if Daye is pulled to the third position, Daye's speed can't keep up, and he is a typical "chicken rib" type player. Daye is averaging 20 minutes per game this season, scoring 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Jonas Jerebko, the No. 39 rookie in the second round in 2009, ruptured his right Achilles tendon in his rookie season, 208 cm tall, weighs 104 kg, he is compared to the traditional European inside, he has no soft and delicate touch, no cunning passing and very good dribbling, Jerebko belongs to the energy forward, physical fitness can only belong to the average in the NBA, but full of hard work, movement without the ball is very good, there is a certain three-point ability, and the defense belongs to the average level.
