9 of 27 shots, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, plus 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 26 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and exaggerated 5 turnovers.

Under the leadership of Starkhouse, the Pistons scored 80 points.

Grant Hill couldn't play, and the Pistons not only suffered huge losses on the offensive end, but also collapsed on the defensive end.

Zhang Hao scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks, leading the Supersonics to 114 points.

Zhang Hao scored 27 points, Kassel scored 25 points and 4 assists, Jason Williams scored 13 points and 8 rebounds, Ratliff and Ben Wallace both scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, Artest's 14 points, Schramf's 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists... The Supersonics slaughtered the Pistons 114-80 34 points, winning the first victory in the new century!

...

Zhang Hao won his 14th triple-double in the season, 14 triple-double in 31 games, and he was in the limelight in data.

This officially surpassed Grant Hill's second highest record for active players with 13 triple-doubles in a single season set by the 13 seasons in a single season. The highest in active service was Jordan. Jordan had 15 triple-doubles in a single season in the 11 games that year. That year, Jordan had a famous scene of 10 triple-doubles in 11 games.

Originally, there is a highlight of this New Year battle, whether Grant Hill can delay the time when the active players are surpassed in the second place in the triple-double in a single season. The surpassing will definitely be surpassed, but this highlight is that Grant Hill did not play, and after Zhang Hao won the triple-double, he surpassed directly.

After Zhang Hao scored 20 points in this game, he reduced his shots and passed more. Obviously, the Pistons were not the opponent he said to be "interested".

This game caused Zhang Hao to fall to 9.3 assists per game and return to 9.5 per game, which once again triggered heated discussions among fans - is there really hope for a triple-double per game?

The triple-double matter is also an important data for Zhang Hao to compete with Carter for the All-Star Ticket King in the next month.

On the next day, on January 2, the Senior Ward of Sida Senna Hospital in Los Angeles.

Pistons star Grant Hill and his agent, general manager Joe Dumas, team doctor Seth Dudley, and head coach Alvin Gentry, are all there.

Today's examination has ended, and the results of the examination from the Department of Neurology of UCLA Medical Center yesterday also came out.

This morning, Grant Hill had another examination of the leg and lumbar nerves at the Sida Sena Hospital, and also had the most famous orthopedic examination in the hospital.

However, even though the results of today's examination have not yet come out, yesterday's neurological examination has caused the air pressure in the ward to be very low, and everyone is silent.

Moreover, the report on the MRI of the orthopedic examination done today has not yet been released, but this time, the knee diorama model built based on the X-ray results is no longer ideal.

It can be clearly seen that there is a problem with Grant Hill's knee bone curvature.

The worst possibility is that there are broken bones inside the kneecap bone.

But the Pistons have not noticed before, because except for the 12 games in the rookie season, Grant Hill missed 12 games in the rookie season, and from the second grade to last season, he was like Iron Man. He played 80 games in the 95-96 and 96-97 seasons, and played 81 games in the 97-98 season. He attended all last season. So far, Grant Hill averaged 26.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks, and a super-level efficiency of 25.5. It can help the team score 106 points per 100 rounds, and its defensive efficiency is 4.9... In a team like the Pistons, the 27-year-old Grant Hill played the performance that he should have in his peak at his age.

He has always been so healthy. Who would have thought that Grant Hill really has so many hidden dangers of injury?

In fact, Grant Hill himself didn't expect it at first, but yesterday morning I saw Zhang Hao's evaluation of him. He remembered that his knees have been sore since last season and have experienced swelling. However, because they come and go quickly, they have never cared about it before.

There are also new situations that have emerged this season - when starting to exert force, you will occasionally feel weak ankles, and sometimes you will occasionally be unable to exert force when turning around.

But because it only appeared occasionally, he regarded it as excessive fatigue and did not take it seriously.

But when Zhang Hao said that, the more he thought about it, the more dangerous he felt, he went to the hospital for examination with his former teammate and current general manager Joe Dumas, who came to Los Angeles.

Originally, Joe Dumas just wanted Grant Hill to be at ease. Ironman who has hardly missed the game due to injury in the past four years. Joe Dumas didn't think anything was wrong with Grant Hill, but yesterday's first examination, the doctor's preliminary diagnosis of the UCLA Medical Center was very unsatisfactory.

The examination report I received today confirmed the judgment of the doctor at UCLA Physiotherapy Center.

"Grant, I suggest that you go to Germany to have a new check after your knee test results come out." Joe Dumas said seriously.

This is very cruel. Grant Hill is now 27 years old, and the beginning of the golden period of his career. With Grant Hill's static physical conditions and outstanding technology, theoretically, it is still at its peak at the age of 32 or 3.

At this time, Grant Hill detected such a huge potential for injury.

Grant Hill is in a bad mood now. After the shutdown, he just signed a seven-year contract of $93 million and was about to make a big move... Then the team became worse and worse, and he was about to apply for a deal... and then he found that he had serious injuries.

According to the doctor, this is not only an impact on the sports career, but may have an impact on the whole life. If it were not discovered early and the injury would not be effectively treated in the future, it would be a trivial matter that the sports career might be ended, and it may even have to be stuck in a wheelchair in the future.

Grant Hill is not stupid, so he won't say "My season is not over yet, I want to continue playing", and he nodded at Joe Dumas.

The decision was made very quickly, leaving Grant Hill behind, and everyone else left the ward.

After discussing with Grant Hill's agent for a while, Joe Dumas returned.

"Grant, don't worry, it's much better to check out the injury before the outbreak than to treat it after the actual injury. We will wait for you to come back."

"Joe, you're a good person...but you should know what I think."

"I understand that after your treatment period is over, I will trade you away. I also feel that the situation is not good now, so I will drag you and the team."

"You speak so directly, you're not polite at all."

"This is my bad habit. People say that I can't be a general manager well, and I think so."

Grant Hill laughed at this and said, "No, I think you can be a good manager."

...

...

On January 3, the Supersonics came to San Antonio to play the Spurs away.

The popularity of topics brought about by Zhang Hao and Barkley's wine brewing has not only not decreased, but has been rising!

In this interview video, when Zhang Hao's topic of "looking down on the world's superstars" reached its peak, someone found that there were more topics worth discussing in this interview video that were not discovered.

For example - Plan B is a replacement for Jordan + Pippen.

Although he is not regarded as a superstar by Barkley, Pippen is quite happy about Zhang Hao and Barkley's wine cooking.

Some people are happy and some are annoyed - the general is unhappy!

So far this season, 34-year-old David Robinson is still able to average 20.2 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.4 blocks per game, and is still one of the best centers in the league, but it is quite unhappy that Zhang Hao and Barkley ignore it.

David Robinson said in an interview this morning that he had not received the respect he deserved and had sweared.

Isn’t the topic coming? This is the real function of “boiling wine”. A game was not paid much attention to, but now it has become a very impressive game.

But there was another topic today, which snatched a lot of attention - this afternoon, the general manager of the Pistons held a press conference at the Auburn Hill Palace Arena, announcing that Grant Hill will be off-season indefinitely and will be heading to Germany for treatment.

This incident sparked heated discussion.

It was so sudden that Grant Hill had almost never suffered any injuries since his second grade. This season ended in December last year and was also attending all the time. After a suspension of one game, he suddenly announced that he needed to be treated indefinitely...

At 7 p.m., the game between the Supersonics' away challenge to the Spurs began.

Pippen has averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game so far, David Robinson has averaged 20+10+2+2 per game, and Avery Johnson has averaged 11 points and 6 assists per game. Although the three core players are getting old, they are actually pretty good, just a little more expensive.

But this has already happened, and Popovich had no choice. He chose to continue to strengthen the three players. He did a pretty good job. In the increasingly fierce competition in the West, he still maintained a playoff spot. In the minds of teams in the first half of the Western Conference playoffs, the Spurs are still a difficult opponent they don't want to meet in the first round.

The game was very fierce, and the score was 21-19 in the first quarter. The Supersonics took the lead by defending 2 points.

But in the second quarter, the Spurs counterattacked 25-19. After the half, the Supersonics trailed the Spurs by 4 points 40-44.

In the third quarter, the Supersonics replaced the offensive lineup and fought a 33-27 wave, regaining the lead of two points.

In the last quarter, under David Robinson, the Spurs scored 20-14 in the half quarter, leading the Supersonics 4 points 91-87.

In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Supersonics played a brutal defense, allowing the Spurs to score 5 points in 5 minutes. Zhang Hao and Kassel scored 12 points in the last moment, and scored a 12-5 wave.

In the end, relying on Zhang Hao's 31 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, and Kassel's 29 points and 6 assists, the Supersonics narrowly defeated the Spurs 99-96, achieving three consecutive victories, improving the record to 22 wins and 10 losses.

It is difficult to rush up the top four, but the Supersonics steadily suppressed the Timberwolves, which had 21 wins and 10 losses, and continued to rank fifth in the West.

...

"Aix, see if I have any disease?"

"I'm not a doctor, so how could I see a doctor?"

"Don't you study sports medicine? You can see Hill's hidden dangers!"

"Uh...No...Okay, I'll take a look for you."

Jason Williams stood in a large font when he heard this, wearing only shorts, and tight-fitting style, so Zhang Hao could observe it carefully.

After taking a closer look, Zhang Hao said, "According to my observation, there is something wrong with your shorts."

"Ah? I asked you to check my body. What are you doing for shorts? What's the problem?"

"Did you like to pass on tight shorts since you were a child?"

"right."

"No wonder it's so small."

"?...FUXK... Stop it! Don't run! Wait until I put on my clothes before arguing with you..."

Seeing Zhang Hao and Jason Williams fighting again, their teammates reacted differently.

Kassel showed a warm and innocent smile...

Artest was very envious and dared to chase Zhang Hao like this, but the speed difference was a bit big. Artest hoped that Jason Williams could run faster.

The veterans were watching the fun.

Most of the young teammates were surprised...

They also have the same idea as Jason Williams - they want Zhang Hao to help them check their bodies.

But when he heard what Zhang Hao said after looking at him, his teammates gave up this idea.

Zhang Hao's mockery was too ruthless, and they didn't want to humiliate themselves.

Moreover, although most of them are not very good at studying, almost all of them have been in college and have been studying for a long time, most of the high school graduation scores are barely enough to meet the minimum requirements. They can get to college with their sports expertise, but after calming down, they still have some basic common sense.

Sports care and sports medicine are two different things.
