My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Hill is out for the season and the Pistons announce they are entering a rebuild!"

As soon as Kobe Bryant arrived in Phoenix, a piece of bombshell news caused another turmoil in the already turbulent NBA.

One of the most popular players in the league, the number one small forward in the league, and the most comprehensive player in the league, Grant Hill suffered a major injury.

Larry Brown did not disclose the specific injury situation, but judging from the Pistons' actions in the trading market, there is no possibility of Hill returning this season.

The Detroit Pistons, who were ranked second in the Eastern Conference for most of last season, did not have a major personnel change and were replaced as coach by legendary coach Larry Brown. Their record was not as good as people expected.

So far, the Pistons have 17 wins and 21 losses, ranking tenth in the Eastern Conference.

Tenth in the Eastern Conference!

There is no way to even make it to the playoffs!

And it didn't look like his previous team was going to fall behind.

Don't blame the Pistons for not playing well with Hill. This season Hill is still the chosen one, the strongest at the small forward position.

He averaged 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks in 39.6 minutes per game. He is truly a superstar!

However, the overall aging of the Pistons has really made it impossible for Hill to lead the team to victory even if he tried his best.

Thorpe is 36 years old!

Dumas is 35 years old!

Coupled with the fact that Dumars was at his best in last year's playoffs and risked half of his life in front of Jordan, there is no need to count on his performance this season.

It's unrealistic to count on Thorpe and Dumars in the regular season. They may still have a chance to shine in the playoffs, but now, they can only rely on Hill.

Coupled with this year's Eastern Conference, the competition is greater than any other year in the Eastern Conference in the past ten years!

The Bulls and Magic dominate the list.

The Heat, Pacers, Knicks, Hawks, Celtics, 76ers, and Hornets are all teams that are sure to make the playoffs in any year. Together, there are already 8 teams. Got it!

In addition to these eight teams, there are also the Cavaliers, Bucks, and Nets. The player configurations of these teams are not bad! They are all teams that can compete for the playoffs!

The Pistons' lineup system has been completely eliminated. Just relying on Hill alone to fight until he is reimbursed for the season can only allow the Pistons to win such a bad position of tenth in the Eastern Conference.

With Hill retiring next season after Larry Brown's desperate tryout, the Pistons also completely cut off their chance of making the playoffs.

The superstar cannot lead the team into the playoffs. This seems to be a fantasy, but it has come true in the Eastern Conference where the heroes are competing this season.

In terms of strength, Hill will not fall out of the top five in the league!

In terms of popularity, Hill is only behind Kobe Jordan, and in previous years he was still the most popular king.

In terms of playing style, Hill is considered by current basketball experts to be the most comprehensive and team player.

But such a player couldn't lead the team to enough wins or even make the playoffs, which made people sigh.

Kobe believed that the Pistons' collapse and Hill's injuries were all due to the mismatch between Hill's style of play and the team's lineup, as well as Larry Brown's system.

Hill's playing style is closer to that of James and Antetokounmpo, and his finishing ability is even weaker than that of James.

As long as this type of player hoards some human shields under the basket, uses large defense and small double-attack rotations indefinitely, and his teammates have no way to hit shots in the gaps, then such a player will be half useless.

The current situation of Hill is very similar to the situation of James in later generations. James also failed to make the playoffs in his first year with the Lakers.

Antetokounmpo won the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons, and his performance in the playoffs was also impressive.

This is because the team cannot create enough space for their offense.

Breakthrough style of play is too much for teammates!

The difference between Kobe and Jordan is that killer players like them may not be as good at driving the team as top superstars who mainly focus on breakthroughs and scoring, but they cannot be targeted!

Kobe and Jordan are more able to adapt to a diverse lineup, and they are not so dependent on the team system.

The only ones who can guard against them are themselves!

"Thorpe, Dumars, Lynch Hunter, Rick Mahon...all are on the shelves!"

"The price of these veterans is not expensive, but the price-performance ratio is extremely high! The impact they will have on the bench will be amazing."

"Larry Brown looks like he's going to completely rebuild this Pistons!"

Larry Brown’s third phone call was to Jerry West.

Persevere!

Larry Brown is the greedy one, Bowen and now Stephen Jackson!

Lakers three blacks!

Get one to ensure peace!

If you get two, you will be able to settle down the world!

If you get all three, you can convince people!

"Not for sale." West still said the same thing.

Impossible to sell!

The irreplaceability of Ben and Bowen in the team determines that they cannot be traded.

Before Stephen Jackson violently beat Webb Howard, if Larry Brown asked Thorpe Dumars for the price, West would still have the possibility of being traded.

but now?

hehe.

Would anyone sell a Martial Saint?

Immediately sell out the loyal players who are trying to protect their teammates!

This is not the Lakers style! If West did this, he would be immediately drowned in the spit of Lakers fans.

"If you come out of Hill, we can discuss it."

Larry Brown cursed and hung up the phone.

Larry Brown covets the Lakers, so why don't the general managers of other teams covet the Pistons' team!

Dumas! Mahon! It can be said to be the continuation of the spirit of the Bad Boys Legion!

It is also a very good choice to buy them back and serve as bodyguards for the boss of your own team, not to mention that they may perform amazingly in the playoffs.

Thorpe and Hunter, there is no problem for these two players to start in an ordinary team, but if they are placed on the bench, they will be bench gangsters!

Robbery!

When a team is disintegrated, it's the best time to rob!

The rise of countless strong teams is based on robbing collapsing teams.

"I'll give you tens of thousands! No, I'll give you a second-round pick!"

"Second-round pick? I'm embarrassed to say anything without a first-round pick! With one first-round pick, I packed four players!"

Playoff-level teams have made symbolic inquiries.

"Damn, they are treating me like a monkey!" Larry Brown frowned. His connections in the NBA were not very good.

"Teacher, how about it?" A familiar phone rang, and the familiar disciple appeared in front of Larry Brown's eyes.

"Larry, since you have no hope of winning the championship, why not let me try."

"Well, Hill, do you want to sell it? I have a treasure here."
