As Liu Han began to control the ball, the Lakers' tactics began to change, O'Neal was no longer always in the inner position, but frequently ran to the outside to cover Liu Han, Liu Han had the opportunity to complete the blocking and dismantling cooperation with O'Neal, and if he didn't have a chance, he could still play alone. Grant Hill stopped defending Liu Han after putting the focus of the game on offense, and he is now struggling to deal with Brent Barry, and he really doesn't have the extra strength to defend Liu Han anymore.

Pistons head coach Alvin Gentry knows this, although he has always been an assistant coach, but now in the position of head coach, he must also think according to the head coach's way of thinking, a player cannot play an offensive and defend Liu Han without trying his best.

After Brent Barry came on the court, Hill's offense was slightly limited, and Barry was stronger than Hill in terms of height and weight, only slightly less powerful, but this did not affect his defense of Hill.

After the Lakers changed their tactics, the Pistons' defense began to be a little chaotic, and now the Lakers' lineup is very powerful from any point of view, with O'Neal on the inside on the offense, and the other four players on the outside have shooting ability; Defensively, Brent Barry limited Grant Hill, Liu Han stared at Lynch Hunt, and Michael Finley had no problem bullying veteran Joe Dumas. For a while, the Lakers opened the gap in the score to more than ten points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Pistons by 12 points at 35-23, and Hill scored 14 points on the Pistons' side, accounting for more than half of the team's points.

Entering the second quarter, Liu Han was rested, Nash reappeared, and the Lakers replaced substitutes such as Kittels and veteran Dele Curry.

Pistons head coach Gentry didn't dare to replace Grant Hill, and now is the chance for the Pistons to chase down points. Taking advantage of the Lakers' unstable footing after coming off the bench, the Pistons played a wave of offensive climax, Hill broke into the basket several times and then distributed the ball to the outside, and the veteran Joe Dumas and Jerry Starkerhouse, who was still desperate, hit three points one after another, and the Pistons gradually caught up with the score.

Stackhouse had a good life in the 76ers, but with the rise of Iverson, the grumpy and cautious Stackhouse and Iverson had a big conflict, as a 95 draft scout, Stackhouse definitely didn't want to give Iverson a hand, and the 76ers management chose to trade Stackhouse after consideration.

Lakers head coach George Krent did not choose to change the main team because the opponent gradually caught up with the score, now is a good opportunity to hone the Lakers lineup, with the playoffs gradually approaching, George does not want to let go of any opportunity to improve the Lakers lineup, he still has the dream that the whole team can play the core.

However, the Pistons did play hard today, they must win as many games as possible in the next games, or the playoffs will leave them, as a team that has been brilliant in the past, the Pistons will not be like some bad teams to fight for next season's rookies.

Seven minutes into the second quarter, the Pistons tied the score, and Grant Hill turned into an all-around warrior in this quarter, scoring both rebounds and assists.

The Pistons' playoff-like defensive intensity scares the Lakers, young people who have barely played the playoffs, and they are intimidated by the Pistons' momentum.

George saw that the substitutes on the field were a little overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to replace several young players with Liu Han, O'Neill and veteran Byron Scott. Brent Barry also came back on the pitch to defend Hill.

With Liu Han hitting three points directly through the defense after the game exceeded the score again, the situation of the Lakers gradually stabilized, although the two veterans Deer Curry and Byron Scott are both old, and there may be no way to compare with each other in the confrontation, but they are both players who have experienced strong winds and waves, and they have their own methods for how to deal with the current situation.

Liu Han controlled the ball after coming on the court, but he turned on the scoring mode first, facing the defense of Lynch Hunt, who was only 1.88 meters tall, Liu Han played easily, and in just three minutes, Liu Han scored eight points in a row.

Pistons head coach Gentry had no choice but to let the already tired Grant Hill defend Liu Han, although Sterkhouse is also a good defensive player, but his defensive attitude is really not good.

Grant Hill dragged his tired body to Liu Han, and he hasn't rested for a minute in this game so far.

Liu Han's purpose in scoring first after coming on the court is actually to get the Pistons' defensive focus on himself, so that other teammates will be less pressured and have more chances to score.

In the face of Grant Hill's defense, Liu Han did not relent, and after he took the ball, he began to hit Hill with his back.

Although Hill defends well, he is now a little tired, and Liu Han's style of play makes Hill very uncomfortable.

After Liu Han successfully singled Hill with his back in a row, the Pistons' defense began to gradually shift to Liu Han, and at this time, Liu Han began to pass the ball to lead his teammates to attack.

The two veterans, Dell Curry and Byron Scott, are both experienced guys who are well aware of Liu Han's purpose, and O'Neal and Brent Barry are also very high ball quotients, and the Lakers' offense is starting to play better and better.

At halftime, the Lakers once again extended the gap to more than 10 points, and Liu Han scored 13 points and four assists in just five minutes of playing in the second quarter.

At halftime, George Krent spoke to the younger, less playoff players, about what to look out for in such a tight game.

Liu Han returned to the shooting guard position at the start of the second half, and Grant Hill recovered after a half-time break.

In the third quarter, the Lakers were in control of the game, and although the Lakers did not stretch the score to more under Grant Hill's hard pursuit, they always maintained a lead of more than ten points.

Liu Han once again turned into a mobile battery in this quarter of the game, and the Lakers handed over the task of controlling the pace of the game to Nash. Nash gradually found his groove in this quarter, and he did his job well, brushing up five assists in a quarter, including three for Liu Han.

Entering the fourth quarter, Grant Hill was still on the court, and he barely had a break in this game.

However, Grant Hill's efforts were crushed by the Lakers' scoring again and again, and he tried his best in this game, but the Lakers are really too strong now, so strong that the Pistons can't shake the Lakers even if the whole team does their best, they are like completing an ordinary regular season, no, it can even be said that they are like playing a preseason game and killing the Pistons who are trying their best.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 112-100, and Liu Han got a quasi-triple-double of 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists. Although Grant Hill had god-level statistics of 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 13 assists, he was unable to bring a victory to the Pistons. (To be continued.) )
