In the evening, the Grizzlies are still at home, and their opponent is the Eastern Conference team, the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons are not weak, making it to the Eastern Conference playoffs is just a piece of cake, and they also have the league's top player Grant Hill in their lineup.

Hill is a player whose career has been miserable. If not for injuries, his achievements would have been extremely amazing.

As the first generation of "Jordan's successor", Grant Hill is still at the peak of his health. Since entering the league in 1994, he has been an All-Star starter in the Eastern Conference, and even surpassed Jordan to become the All-Star vote winner.

.

When it comes to who is the number one small forward in the league today, I'm afraid Hill will definitely get more votes than Pippen who is entering the end of his career.

In tonight's game, the duel between the new top small forwards Stephen Jackson and Grant Hill also makes the game full of attraction.

Both players are 203 centimeters tall and both are extremely versatile. They are compared by various media from time to time.

…

"Stephen, tonight's game is of great significance to you!"

"After you win against Hill, you will be the number one small forward in the league!" Jiang Dongbing gave Jackson a drink before the game started.

Hill is naturally very strong now, but Jiang Dongbing doesn't think Jackson is worse than Hill. The main reason is that Hill has an extremely obvious shortcoming, which is the three-point ability.

After Hill was seriously injured, his precise three-pointers left a deep impression on people, but now Hill's three-point ability is almost zero. In this regard, Jackson will definitely beat Hill.

And in terms of defensive ability, Jackson is definitely better than Hill.

If we really want to say where Hill is better than Jackson, I'm afraid it is in terms of organizational ability. Hill's organizational ability is not inferior to that of some top point guards.

However, the organizational ability is not very obvious in the duel between the two players. Jiang Dongbing feels that after this game is over, the statistical winner will definitely be his own Jackson.

As long as he wins against Hill, Jackson will be completely developed. After winning as the league's number one small forward, Jackson will become the league's new number one small forward.

"Coach, I will work hard in this game!" Jackson also realized the importance of this game and said with a serious expression.

…

"Dududu!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and both teams began to appear.

Tonight, Raheem has already boarded a plane to Seattle and is unable to participate in tonight's game. Naturally, the strength of the Grizzlies has been greatly affected.

The main reason is that besides Rahim, Jiang Dongbing has no other reliable power forward, so he has no choice but to let Thorpe start tonight.

Players like Thorpe, despite their low strength and huge salary, have won championships in their careers and have no regrets in their lives. They can do whatever they are asked to do in the team and will never rely on their old age.

.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies relied on their inside advantage to gain a good advantage.

The Pistons' outside lineup is extremely luxurious. In addition to Hill, there are also Joe Dumars and Jerry Stackhouse, but the inside lineup is somewhat stretched.

There is indeed a 1993 No. 3 pick, Laettner, who supports the show, but Laettner is injured now and cannot appear at all. Moreover, even if he does, with Laettner's current estate, he is far from Miller's opponent.

As a member of the Dream Team, Laettner's peak strength is definitely not comparable to that of O'Neal who entered the league in the same year. However, in his rookie season, he averaged 18.2 points and 8.7 rebounds per game and is fully qualified to be the third overall pick.

It's just that in recent years, due to injuries, his strength has not been as good as before.

The Grizzlies did have the inside advantage, but not long after the game, Miller and Thorpe's physical fitness could no longer hold up. Jiang Dongbing could only smile bitterly and replace the Grizzlies' original fat insides.

As soon as these insiders come on the court, the Grizzlies' inside advantage immediately turns into a disadvantage...

The court gradually turned into a confrontation between the perimeter groups of both sides, especially the confrontation between Jackson and Hill, which is likely to determine the outcome of tonight's game.

Hill broke through with the ball and not only scored successfully, but also caused an inside foul for the Grizzlies, successfully completing a 2+1!

Turning his head, Jackson suddenly fired a cold arrow from the outside and successfully made up for it with a first-level three-pointer.

The two players competed with each other, but it was obvious that Hill played harder than Jackson. The main reason was that Hill did not have three-point firepower. Every attack he made had to go against Jackson's defense. The offensive efficiency was very low.

Naturally it cannot be too high.

Jackson played extremely excitedly tonight, shooting a high percentage of three-pointers. At the end of the first half, he had already made 4 of 8 three-pointers. In addition to defensive counterattacks and free throws, Jackson scored 21 points in the half.

Points are scored.

At this time, Hill only scored 14 points. Although it was a lot, it was indeed a bit less interesting compared to Jackson.

The Grizzlies fans at the scene were extremely excited. How could Jackson be so powerful? In the confrontation with the league's No. 1 small forward, not only did he not fall behind, but he actually had a solid advantage?!

In addition to Jackson, Billups once again showed off his power tonight, with three-pointers and assists one after another, helping the Grizzlies establish an 11-point advantage at halftime.

Maybe it was because we were a little behind, so Hill stayed on the court from the beginning of the second half, and was almost treated like an iron man.

In fact, when later generations of fans analyzed why Hill was so arrogant, they also put forward a theory, that is, Hill was fucked too hard during his several years in the Pistons.

In the previous four seasons, Hill's average playing time reached more than 40 minutes per game in two seasons, and the remaining two seasons were about 39 minutes!

Such a playing time is simply too scary. Even if Hill is really an iron man, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it.

It's no wonder that after Hill left the Pistons, he was immediately scrapped in the first year after joining the Magic. With such fierce competition intensity in the past few years, it would be strange not to get injured.

Of course, Jiang Dongbing cannot cherish his favorite general so much. He has always controlled Jackson's playing time very well, trying to keep it around thirty-three minutes, and no more than thirty-five minutes at most.

Jackson came off the field, which was originally the moment for Hill to score wildly, but Jiang Dongbing immediately transferred Christie to defend Hill, resulting in Hill's offense still being unable to open up.

The effect of asking Christie to defend against shooting is not very good, but to defend against Hill's rush, the effect is simply explosive.
