Pistons starters: center Kristen Leitner, power forward Terry Mills, small forward Hill, point guard Starkerhouse and point guard Lynch Hunter

Soon, under the organization of the referee, the two sides entered the jump ball session, and O'Neal Jr. and Leitner bent their knees and were ready to jump the ball.

Leitner and Hill are alumni who led the Duke Blues to two consecutive NCAA championships in 1991-92 while in college, and he was the only college student on the 1992 Dream Team. He was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 3rd pick in the 1st round of the 1992 NBA Draft and was named to the NBA All-Star team in 1997.

In other words, the Pistons have three All-Star caliber players, and their strength should not be underestimated.

At the same time, the first game was against the All-Star level inside, which was a big test for O'Neal Jr.

After the two sides were ready, the referee threw the basketball vertically into the sky, and when the basketball began to fall, the two jumped up one after another.

The two were of similar height, but O'Neal Jr. was more physically fit and took the basketball to Armstrong first.

In the moment of receiving the ball, Armstrong accelerated to break through, but he was blocked by Hunter and had to slow down.

Under Hunter's harassment, the Pistons quickly returned to defense and did not give the Nets a chance to break quickly.

After finding that there was no chance, Armstrong took control of the basketball and passed the ball to Ji Liang.

The first goal is naturally handed over to the core to play, not to mention that in this game, Chi Liang and Hill are opposed, and his teammates also hope that he can get better data.

Near the Horn Zone, Ji Liang singled Hill with his back. Although Hill has excellent physical fitness, his weight and strength are far behind Chi Liang after all, and it is naturally difficult to limit Chi Liang's back singles.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Chi Liang's back began to exert force, even though Hill was quite tenacious, he still couldn't stop retreating.

It was also at this time that Ji Liang took a step towards Sikma, opened up the shooting space with Hill, and quickly threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish~

In the first goal, Ji Liang easily threw it.

Hill spread his hands and said he was helpless about this ball!

The Pistons' possession of the ball, Hunter took advantage of his height to hoist the ball to Hill while tearing up space with his teammates to give Hill enough space to play.

Compared with Hill, Ji Liang's biggest advantage is his height and long arms, and he took the initiative to take a step into the air, which can not only prevent Hill from breaking through, but also block the opponent's shots in a limited way.

Hill moved, using a small swing of his right hand to hold the ball and break through quickly, his speed was fast, his technique was delicate, and the basketball seemed to become a part of his body, tightly fitting his hands, trying to impact Ji Liang's defense.

Ji Liang knew that his center of gravity was high, and he did not choose to try to steal this ball, but used sliding steps to block Hill's breakthrough direction.

The defense is passive after all, especially Hill's speed is very fast, even if Chi Liang defends tightly, he still finds a gap and takes the lead by most of the body.

However, Ji Liang was not completely out of position, and chased after Hill.

Creak~

Suddenly, the sound of the soles of his shoes rubbing against the floor sounded, and Hill took advantage of the emergency stop, and after shaking the pool bright, Hill jumped high and gracefully pushed the basketball to the basket.

Swish~

The basketball hollowed into the basket, stirring up a white wave.

Among the league's forwards, Hill's ball handling, breaking, shooting skills, and even basketball IQ are all among the top in the league.

'Penny' Hardaway once said, "There are about ten players in this league and when they're playing properly on the court, no one can stop them, and Hill is that guy!"

Jordan's successor, the originator of the organization's forward, Jordan who can play the piano, these are all words of praise for Hill, which are enough to reflect his ability and talent.

Of course, I'm talking about Peak Hill, that is, Hill who is not injured yet!

As Jordan's successor, Hill has excellent physical fitness, which can be called the smaller Jordan, and the maximum bounce reaches 95 cm.

After scoring, Hill turned back to defense, he is an alternative in the NBA, perhaps because he was trained very strictly, his play is known for his elegance, and his image is also personable.

Dealing with such an opponent, Ji Liang didn't have the idea of talking trash either, he just shrugged his shoulders and motioned for O'Neal Jr. to serve.

After switching offense and defense, Armstrong controlled the basketball and waited until everyone was in position before passing the ball to Ji Liang again.

Near the free throw line, Ji Liang received the ball with his back again, and this time Hill lowered his weight and tried to resist Ji Liang.

The next moment, Chi Liang turned around, quickly changed the back basket to the face basket, and just took a step, he successfully broke through Hill and stepped into the penalty area with the ball.

At this time, Leitner rushed over, his speed was not slow, and he wanted to stop Ji Liang from attacking the basket.

At this moment, Chi Liang flipped his wrist with his right hand, and the basketball flew under Lightner's arm along an inexplicable trajectory.

Bang dang~

Behind Leitner, O'Neal Jr. received the basketball, immediately jumped to his feet, and slammed the ball into the basket with all his might.

"Jermaine, well done!"

"Where, it's you who pass it on!" O'Neal Jr. touched the back of his head and smiled excitedly, this was his first time scoring since coming to the Nets, and it meant a lot to him.

In the process of returning to defense, Chi Liang and O'Neill Jr. clapped each other, and everything was silent.

The Pistons' offense, under the strict defense of Ji Liang, Hill broke through the ball, and after Starkerhouse received the basket, he forcibly squeezed Billups away and hit the basket to cause O'Neal Jr.'s foul.

Beep~

Under the instructions of the referee, Stackhouse stood at the free throw line, and then Ji Liang saw the famous squatting toilet free throw.

Toilet free throws are naturally unsightly, Stackhouse always bends his legs to the maximum extent at the free throw line, and then gets up to shoot, and the whole free throw process is no different from squatting on the toilet.

Since Stackhouse entered the NBA, his squatting toilet free throws have become a bright 'landscape' in the NBA. A reporter once asked him why he developed that strange free-throw position, and Stackhouse gave the answer: When I made free throws, my mother always stood by and yelled at me, "Bend your knees!" Bend your knees! ...... "I just did what she told me and scored the ball.

However, while the free throws were a bit ugly, just like Rick Barry's urinal free throws, Stackhouse shot equally well from the free throw line.

Marion once said: "It doesn't matter if the posture is ugly, the key is to score a good goal." That's probably why Stackhouse didn't change his free throws.

Swish~

Swish~

Under everyone's gaze, Stackhouse pouted his ass, he had an excellent hand, and he made two free throws and two hits.
