The match lasted for 20 minutes and ended up 55-51 with the bench winning the score.

"Chi Liang's role is not at all replaced by others, he is willing to share the ball, so that the substitute team is completely enlivened by Chi Liang's organization, and Chi Liang's rapid defense also makes the strong backcourt of the main team limited to a certain extent. On the other hand, Jermaine and his teammates have no tacit understanding at all, and it is normal to be isolated! ”

After the analysis, Coach Rivers came up to O'Neal Jr. and said, "Jermaine, are you happy with today's performance?"

"Not very satisfied!" O'Neal Jr. frowned, because after he was transferred to the main team, he was pressed and beaten by Ji Liang, and was dominated by the opponent at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

However, little O'Neill did not resent Chi Liang, he was very aware of the gap between the two, not to mention that Chi Liang launched a wild attack, just to give him a chance to perform.

To put it simply, one is willing to fight, one is willing to suffer!

O'Neill Jr. is in a bad mood, mainly because he is dissatisfied with his own strength, but judging from this matchup, he still has a long way to go.

In addition, little O'Neill was even more surprised, because he hadn't seen him for several months, and Chi Liang's strength had improved a lot.

Last season's Chi Liang was already very strong, and he could still make such great progress, to be honest, O'Neal Jr. didn't expect it, and it also showed from the side that Chi Liang paid a lot of sweat in the offseason, which gave O'Neal Jr. a lot of motivation.

Little O'Neill couldn't wait to train, and at this time he didn't have the heart to have a good relationship with the coach, and said: "Coach, if there is nothing to do, I will go to training!"

"Well, go ahead!" Coach Rivers waved his hand, he had only been retired for a long time, so he naturally wouldn't mind O'Neal Jr.'s move.

In addition, he also likes players who work hard, which means that O'Neill Jr. is a buildable material that may be impressive in the future.

On this day, O'Neill Jr. practiced until the latest, and he couldn't wait to strengthen his strength and become a star.

Judging from his training behavior, as long as he doesn't die halfway, he will definitely make a difference with his potential.

That same night, the Nets began traveling to Detroit to prepare to challenge the Pistons.

The current Pistons are also one of the strongest teams in the league because they have Grant Hill, who is arguably the most prestigious small forward in the league.

After Pippen fell to the top, Hill became the best small forward in the league, although Chi Liang played well last season, but due to the gap in heritage, Hill's position cannot be shaken for the time being.

Prior to entering the NBA, Hill led Duke University to two NCAA championships. In 1992, he led a team of collegiate stars, surprisingly defeating the legendary Dream Team in an exhibition match.

In 1994, Grant Hill was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the third pick in the first round of the draft. A year before that, Jordan retired from the NBA to play baseball in order to fulfill his father's last wish. At that time, NBA commissioner David Stern decided to create a successor to Jordan, and that person was Grant Hill.

In his rookie season, Hill won the Rookie of the Year and became the first rookie to be voted first in the NBA All-Star Game, and he was also the first player in the four major professional sports in North America to become the All-Star Game ticket king as a rookie.

Hill is known for his all-round skills and is one of the few all-around stars in NBA history, and now he's still in his prime, almost omnipotent, and can do almost anything a team needs.

In addition, the term "organizational striker" also began to circulate from Hill, and a triple-double is easy for him. Jordan's successor, if he cares about scoring, then 30 points in a single game is not a problem for him at all. Because in a one-on-one situation, Hill can barely defend.

In today's league, everyone believes that Hill is the closest person to Jordan.

However, Hill also has criticism, although he has a strong record in the NBA regular season, he has never led the Pistons to make a difference in the playoffs, and he has never been able to make the first round of the playoffs in recent seasons, which has also made him extremely disappointed with the team.

In addition to Hill, the Pistons also have Jerry Stackhouse, also known as Jordan's successor, who was traded to Detroit in Philadelphia in 1997-98 due to a battle with Iverson for shots.

This season is also the peak of Stackhouse. His fundamentals are very good, and his attacking ability and ability to create fouls are known for his old spicy. The biggest advantage is undoubtedly to create a low-post single, with his tonnage and height advantage, the back basket squeezes the defender close to the basket, and with a simple back-to-back turn-over jumper, he can basically eat many weak scoring guards in the league.

In addition, Stackhouse's three-point shooting percentage should not be underestimated, supplemented by a tough enough breakthrough ability to break through enough to break through the opponent's perimeter defense.

Hill, Stackhouse, and Lynch Hunter form a backcourt combination that is more luxurious than the Nets, and can be called the most luxurious backcourt combination in the league.

Of course, if Ji Liang is willing to return to the small forward position, the Nets will not lose to the Pistons in the backcourt.

On the evening of November 17th, Auburn Hills Palace Arena!

The home of the Pistons and the only one of the NBA's 30 teams located far from downtown, Auburn Hills, a suburb of Auburn Hills, 80 kilometers from downtown Detroit, is where the stadium's name comes from.

For the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, Chi Liang's deepest impression was naturally the future Auburn Hills fight, which was also the most serious brawl in NBA history.

Due to Ji Liang and Hill, the media titled who is the strongest playmaker to make this game hot before it started, which naturally attracted the attention of a large number of fans.

That's why it's another national live broadcast!

Tonight's Auburn Hills Palace Arena was crowded, all tickets were sold out, and there was a kind of devil's home stadium.

After the Nets played, the arena began to fill with boos.

When it was the Pistons' turn to play, the arena began to fill with cheers again, especially when Grant Hill was on the court.

The piercing cheers and screams reverberated in the arena for a long time, as if the roof of the stadium was about to be torn down.

It didn't take long for the two sides to finish warming up and send out their respective starting lineups.

Nets starting lineup: center O'Neal Jr., power forward Cage, small forward Ji Liang, point guard Billups, point guard Armstrong.

This time, Coach Rivers chose to change the lineup, and he intended to complete Ji Liang and put him and Hill for tat.

Coach Rivers is well aware of Chi Liang's strength, he thinks that at least he will not fall into the disadvantage, and he wants to give O'Neal Jr. a chance, which is why there is such a change.
