On the night of the 3rd, the Knicks rested in Chicago for a night, and then rushed to Detroit on the 4th.

In fact, the Knicks started with a devil's schedule, with four games in five days, three of which were on the road. After a short day of rest, on the evening of the 5th, the Knicks' third game of the season officially kicked off at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena.

In the early '80s, the Pistons were a bad team, but since Chuck Daley became the team's head coach in '83, they've made the playoffs every year and even won two championships.

In '92, Chuck Daley left and the Pistons immediately went from being a playoff team to a lottery team. Luckily, they drafted Grant Hill in the '94 draft.

Hill and Kidd shared the Rookie of the Year award the year with Rookie of the Year, and the following year, he and Alan Houston took the team to the playoffs. That year, he also beat Jordan in the All-Star vote and won the vote.

At this moment, Alan Houston returned to the Palace of Auburn Hills, and he was greeted by the boos of the fans.

Back then, countless Pistons fans hoped that he could revive the Pistons with Grant Hill, but after the contract expired, this kid went directly to New York!

Despite Houston's departure, the Pistons have been a strong team for as long as Hill remains, and last year they were sixth in the East, but unfortunately were eliminated in the first round by the third-place Hawks.

However, Hill himself did not fight Malone and Duncan as two forwards in the selection of the best team last season, and was only selected for the second team.

There are always people who say that the alliance is making stars, but in fact, the stars are not made, but they are made by themselves, but the alliance will appropriately add fuel to the fire and publicize it.

For example, Hill, who should have been the league's No. 1 signboard after Jordan's retirement, but now, he is a little tepid, and he didn't even make it to the All-Round First Team.

Is the alliance stupid and doesn't know how to give itself a signboard?

Of course not, David Stern certainly wants Grant Hill to be on the first team more than anyone else, the problem is that the person who chooses the best team is a journalist and not him!

The reporters think that Malone and Duncan play better than Hill, so they will put those two in one line, Hill is not good enough, and no matter how signboard it is, it can only fall into the second line!

The media in the United States is relatively free, and the NBA can't control it, not to mention the NBA, and the ten governments of the United States can't control it, so people vote for who is on the first team, and David Stern can only watch!

Journalists are also fans, and some are even pseudo-fans, for example, they only watch their home team's games, and other teams take a look at the statistics and don't care about anything else.

Who will these journalists vote for?

Data brushes, of course, because data brushes are the most intuitive in technical statistics!

Therefore, although brushing data cannot help the team win, it is quite advantageous in the selection of various awards!

Over the past five seasons, Hill's stats have declined slightly rather than up. In his sophomore year, he averaged 9.8 rebounds per game, compared to 7.1 last season, and in his third year, he averaged 7.3 assists per game, compared to 6 last season!

As for scoring, he didn't improve either, with just 21.1 points last season!

By the standards of an average star, Hill's stats are still very dazzling, but as a signature figure in the league, it's still not enough!

Reporters have become accustomed to Hill scoring a quasi-triple-double every night, and in terms of team results, although the Pistons are a strong team, they are only capable of the first round, which also makes the media uninterested!

In fact, not only in the media circle, but also in the fan circle, Hill's popularity has also begun to decline, and people prefer those who can give them a sense of freshness and anticipation!

In addition to Hill, the Pistons have another star, and that is the University of North Carolina's '95 probe show, Stackhouse, who was sold by Larry Brown.

In the first quarter of the game, Grant Hill and Stackhouse shined with two guns, and the two teams played hard, and the score was 26:27 in the second quarter, and the Knicks trailed by one point.

Li Wei appeared on the court in the second quarter, but Lynch Hunter, the Pistons' main playmaker, rested at the end of the first quarter and returned to the court in the second quarter!

In the first round, Lynch Hunter stole Li Wei, and then scored quickly!

Lynch Hunter was a super scorer in college, averaging an astonishing 26.7 points per game in his graduation year, and he was selected by the Pistons with the 10th pick in the '93 draft, ahead of Alan Houston.

However, this person is only 1.88 meters tall and weighs 77 kilograms, and the general managers of each team feel that he lacks confrontation ability and may be a leaky scoop at the defensive end.

But after entering the NBA, Lynch Hunter's performance surprised people.

He had a sharp offense in college, and his performance in the NBA was very average, especially at the critical moment of the playoffs, due to his lack of height and confrontation, his shooting rate was so miserable that people couldn't look at it directly after the defensive intensity came up!

But on the defensive end, as soon as he entered the NBA, he mixed with the bad boy army, and under the words and deeds of Bill Ranbir, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumas and others, he became more and more frustrated!

Due to his lack of weight, Lynch Hunter sometimes has more than enough strength when defending a power point guard, but when it comes to defending a speed point guard, this kid is too old!

In the 01-02 season in the previous life, the Lakers, who had suffered from the 76ers, deliberately traded him as a secret weapon against Iverson. Unfortunately, the 76ers didn't make it to the Finals again that year.

In the 03-04 season, the rebuilt Pistons traded Lynch Hunter back.

Joe Dumas, who was already the general manager of the Pistons at the time, was overjoyed when he knew that Lynch Hunter was back, and even ignored Billups, who was the best defensive team in the team, and said directly to the media: "If the league now selects the five-man team that poses the greatest threat to the player, Hunter is undoubtedly the first choice for point guards!" ”

At this moment, the speed is fast, and Lynch Hunter, who has a strong defense, meets Li Wei, which is like a cat seeing a mouse!

He has a lot of small movements, which makes Li Wei very uncomfortable!

Five minutes later, Li Wei didn't score a point or give an assist, and the Knicks were 10 points behind!

He immediately replaced himself off the court, and at the same time sent Nash, Garnett, Houston and other key players to rearrange his tactics!

The head coach of the Pistons is Alvin Gentry.

Like Popovich, Gentry is also an apprentice of Larry Brown, who followed Brown to the NBA from the University of Kansas, and later went to the Clippers, Heat and other teams to continue as an assistant coach. After the first generation of coach Doug Collins was fired, Pistons management put him right.

Li Wei is drawing tactics, Gentry is also drawing tactics, he wants to stabilize the team's lead and beat the Knicks!

It's a pity that the Knicks are a little stronger, Garnett and others began to chase points, and soon caught up with all 10 points, and even overtook them!

However, at the end of the quarter, Grant Hill led the Pistons to a 7-0 shockwave, and they regained a five-point lead!

At the beginning of the third quarter, Garnett and Houston continued to chase points with the Knicks' main players, catching up with the score and overtaking it.

At the end of the quarter, Li Wei came on the court, and Lynch Hunter went toe-to-toe with him again!

Li Wei was very uncomfortable to defend, and the Pistons also seized the opportunity to chase the score. Seeing that the lead was about to be gone, Li Wei had to replace himself and let Nash and others play!

In the fourth quarter, the Knicks played a score of 30:18, and the team won 103:91 away against the Pistons!

Li Wei played 12 minutes, and the data was pitiful: 0 points, 1 assist, 2 steals and 4 turnovers!

After the game, reporters interviewed Lynch Hunter and asked Li Wei how his level was, and Lynch Hunt said indifferently: "He is as weak as a baby!" ”

On the other side, Li Wei listened to Lynch Hunt's evaluation and smiled slightly.

In the first two years, he actually played tickets, and this year is a real rookie year. It's normal for a rookie to have ups and downs, and he never thinks he's going to dominate the game right now.

He's just a role player, and superstars have times when they don't play well, let alone role players?

Speaking to reporters, he said aloud: "I'm very happy to have this kind of defense, Lynch Hunter is a great opponent. I will continue to work hard to improve myself and try to play well in the next game." At the same time, I would also like to thank my teammates, I have been digging holes for them to fill in, and they have successfully completed the task! ”
