Chapter 43 Grant Hill
On the afternoon of November 11th, Malone woke up, and the consumption of last night's game had been swept away.

Resurrection with full blood and full state!
After washing up and eating something, Malone and other teammates got on the bus to the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The road trip was tight.

It's not as easy as the pre-season game, let alone traveling, and there is no time for pre-match training.

"Ha~"

On the bus, Clifford let out a breath.

This breath seemed to be contagious, and Rhodes, Hawkins and others also breathed out.

Rhodes gasped and said, "Ha~ Falk! What I hate the most is back to back!"

"There will be another back-to-back after that, bear with it."

Clifford patted his mouth with his hands, and sounded like he was singing rap.

It's just that I haven't slept enough all day long.

Rotational players are better, but just as breathless.

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers used the special plane of the big boss, and the experience of sleeping on the plane was good.

If a small team like the Nets has no money, take that kind of ordinary plane, and even with the special body of a basketball player, don't even think about having any quality of sleep.

At this moment Clifford noticed that one of them was not breathing, and was in good spirits.

It was like a group of programmers who were tortured by Party A and stayed up all night with kidney deficiency, and suddenly there was a handsome guy with bright eyes.

He wondered: "Ma Long, you played for 40 minutes yesterday, aren't you sleepy today?"

Rhodes complained sourly: "He is so happy to brush data, how could he be tired."

Ma Long shrugged: "Maybe I recover faster."

Clifford thought about it, and turned his head and didn't care about it anymore.

After fooling around, Malone thought he finally knew why NBA players hated back-to-back so much.

For example, I worked an overtime shift, but I could take two days off after working overtime.

As a result, the boss said that the company had a big order, which was canceled on holidays, and continued to work overtime, and there was no overtime pay
Imagine feeling your blood pressure soar.

"Don't underestimate the piston."

As if to make the players pay more attention, Carlisle stood in front of the bus and picked up a microphone, like a tour guide: "Although the Pistons have lost three games in a row, in my opinion, they have the strength of the playoffs."

"Now I'm going to talk about the tactics of the Pistons, so listen carefully."

Although time is tight, some preparations still have to be done.

While talking about tactics, Carlisle also sent the team's collected newspaper news and scouting reports about the Pistons to the players.

Malone took a copy and began to look through it.

The first page is the current core of the Detroit Pistons, Grant Hill.

Hill, like Wilkins, the 'human movie essence', is one of the few people who knows who his father is and celebrates Father's Day every year.

Hill, who is 203cm tall and weighs 102kg, was born in Dallas, Texas.

His father is Kelvin Hill, a famous American football player, and his mother, Janet Hill, was Hillary's college roommate and graduated from the famous Wellesley Women's College.

It can be said to be a family origin.

With such a family background, Hill has been well cultivated since childhood.

After showing his talent in basketball, he can also get the best training, which has laid a very solid foundation for him.

In the 1994 NBA Draft, Grant Hill was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the third overall pick in the first round.

In the rookie season, Hill scored 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.77 steals per game, and shared the rookie of the year with Kidd.

In the same year, Hill also became the first rookie to be voted first in the NBA All-Star Game selection, overwhelming O'Neal and becoming the rookie vote leader.

——It is worth mentioning that the No. [-] and No. [-] picks in front of Hill are Kidd and the "big dog" Glenn Robinson, who led to the summer suspension and dared to ask for a [-] million yuan contract as a rookie.

I don't know if Hill's top ticket is the relationship between Kidd and the big dog.
At the beginning of this season, the Pistons played three games.

Although Xiti has lost three games in a row, Hill's statistics are very impressive.

In the first three games, he scored 29 points, 27 points, 16 points and 12 rebounds.

It doesn't look as good as his data, but Hill is the real deal, and there is no water in it.

After all, I have been playing until the end, and there is no way to brush during garbage time.
In the scouting report, there was an evaluation of Hill.

Dribbles high and deftly.

Top changes and first moves.

Best layup route selection and tricks in history.

Good ball vision.

Selfless, high golf quotient.

Top athletic ability, good sense of rebounding in the backcourt, good ball feel and grasp of various opportunities.

In addition to breaking through the front frame, he also has a certain back-up ability.

But the projection ability is a bit poor.

Kind of like version 1.0 of James.

But compared to James' sudden advance, Hill's breakthrough is more like Wade.

"He saved the city of Detroit."

Here's the scouting report's final take on Hill.

Malone was puzzled at first.

But as the bus arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills, he suddenly understood.

6pm.

The Blazers come out of the tunnel.

As soon as he came out, Malone felt what he felt when he played against the Chicago Bulls.

"Hill!"

"Hill!"

"Hill!"

Fanatical fans chanted Hill's name.

Wearing a blue jersey, the gentle-looking Hill is bathing in mountains.

He didn't sculpt like Jordan or flex his muscles like Karl Malone.

Hill just smiled and waved briefly to the fans.

suave.

This was Hill's first impression of Malone.

An impression that didn't fit in with the Pistons.

Malone understood why the scouting report would make such an evaluation later.

Palace of Auburn Hills

This is the first team-owned arena in North American sports history.

The owner of the Pistons spent $7000 million to build the arena that year.

That year, the Knicks were worth $6100 million and the Lakers were worth $5200 million.

It once symbolized the prosperity of Detroit and witnessed the rise, peak and decline of this automobile city.

At the same time, it also witnessed the rise and collapse of the bad boy army.

In the future, it will also become the background of major league events.

Famous scene locations in various senses.

The bad impression left by the Bad Boys on the fans made Detroit and the Pistons seem gloomy and gloomy.

But all of this was illuminated by the bright light from Hill's smile.

It's no longer the team that people remember with fists, elbows, trash talk, and flopping.

Detroit's blue jersey is no longer a symbol of blue collar, but has become the color of the sky.

"It feels like he'll be a good teammate."

Ma Long thought to himself: "Unfortunately, it is impossible to form a team."

Soon, the game will begin.

Photos of the starting players of the two teams were released on the big screen.

For the Trail Blazers, the starters are Rhodes, Hawkins, Harvey Grant, Clifford, and Sabonis.

The Pistons sent Lindsay Hunter, Joe Dumars, Grant Hill, Terry Mills, and Otis Thorpe.

At 6:[-] in the evening, the first two teams came to the field.

The referee blew the start whistle and tossed the ball into the air, and the game officially began as Thorpe won the jump ball.
