The game between the Lakers and the Pistons is a battle between the spear and the shield.

For the Pistons, offense is definitely going to be offense, but they're clearly better at defense.

The Pistons' offense is much simpler than the Lakers' routine.

Hamilton's tireless run, catch-and-shoot jumper.

Billups' individual offense, as well as Rasheed Wallace's sometimes inflexible straight-arm step-back jumper.

Add to that Prince's open jumper, and Ben Wallace's second rebound...... Other than that, there are few surprises.

What three-line fast attack, basket assault, low post back strong play, basically non-existent.

And it's this kind of simple, only a more than 80-plus point offense per game, but it's a championship-level team.

Because their defense can keep you from scoring only 60 points!

I'm not very good offensively, but I'm going to make your offense worse.

After Li Liang hit a three-pointer, the Pistons' first goal came a little late.

Hamilton first missed a long-range jumper from the baseline.

Li Liang followed in a quick counterattack and immediately distributed the ball to George on the flank.

George went to the baseline to attack the basket and made a layup with a switch.

Li Liang knew that the result of Lao Ke's own work was to be surrounded by the Pistons' defense, and then make a mistake.

Li Liang has carefully studied the video of the first game in the past two days, and can only say that Kobe's head is really iron.

It can't be described as iron, it's steel, steel-headed Kobe.

Facing the iron bucket formation of the pistons, he often plunged into it alone.

So this round of the series is the most criticized of Kobe Bryant's career.

Of course, from the perspective of a professional player, although Kobe Bryant has emotional problems, many times he has to do it as a last resort.

The Lakers really couldn't have a better way to open things up.

Although O'Neal has an extremely high shooting percentage, it does not mean that he can digest all the ball.

Someone on the outside has to step up and take on it, and that person can only be Kobe.

Payton's offensive ability has simply degraded since he came to the Lakers.

In addition, Kobe Bryant also has to bear the burden of outside defense, and it is understandable that he will be a piece of.

And Li Liang wants to make this really fragrant.

After George's offense was successful, the Pistons still didn't score.

In the attack, Hamilton and Big Ben made a pick-and-roll combination, and then Hamilton returned the ball to Big Ben, who was outside the cut.

Big Ben stood at 45 degrees to get the ball, and O'Neal was a step away from him, too lazy to go up and defend.

Big Ben was stunned for two seconds, and finally chose to vote for himself!

As a result, I voted for a three-way non-stick......

The Pistons' offense is just like this, and the offensive end is always 4 to 5, so their winning formula is defense.

The opening two shots missed, and the Pistons didn't panic.

After Payton got the ball, he wanted to push the fast break, but after hitting the three-second zone, he was immediately covered by Big Ben.

The defensive end is his world, Big Ben didn't jump, but just shrouded all Payton's passing routes and shots, and finally Payton wanted to pass to O'Neal, but the ball flew directly out of the baseline, the Pistons' ball.

The Pistons are like a large net on the defensive end, which can be stretched outward and retracted inwards for a while, which can always make the opponent face high-intensity, high-density defense.

This is due to the team's ironclad defensive discipline and Larry Brown's extremely precise defensive tactical design.

In the end, the Pistons' first goal came from Hamilton's foul.

He stood on the free throw line, raised his hand as usual, then slapped the ball twice in front and to the side, bent his knees and prepared for two seconds, and shot!

Didn't make ......

So many front-loading actions were in vain.

Li Liang stood next to him and said, "Richard, if you do so many movements, you might as well kneel down and kowtow to the basket, and it will let you in!" ”

Hamilton is notoriously superstitious among NBA players.

At first, I wore a mask because of a broken nose, and then I have been playing better.

After the fracture was healed, he took off the mask and found that he was not playing well, so he kept wearing the mask to play.

There is also a set of preparatory actions when he makes free throws, and I don't know how to improve the free throw shooting rate, in short, it is psychological.

Li Liang taunted, but Hamilton still hit the second free throw and scored the first point of the Pistons Finals.

The Lakers continued their positional triangle offense, with Big Ben making three-quarters rounds around O'Neal.

The ball finally passed to Li Liang's hand.

Li Liang beckoned a Marlon cover on the left.

Malone is still a little strange, Kobe Bryant wants me to cover?

This is Kobe Bryant, not Bryant.

Malone's cover was very solid, and Rashid Wallace didn't get up for it.

Li Liang retreated a little, and one step away from the three-point line, fired again!

Even if he doesn't have the bonus of props and runes, he is still a player with 90 points of three-point ability.

The ball hits the basket again!

The shot exploded at Stamps, and Larry Brown couldn't sit still, got up and yelled at the players on the court, asking for more attention to Kobe's defense.

Li Liang seized the advantage of his playing style, and seized every time and opportunity to brush up on three-pointers when he had an excellent opening hand.

An 8-1 lead in the opening game was a good start for the Lakers.

The Pistons immediately scored again, Billups responded with a high post, a straight plug to Prince, who cut into the air, the basket was empty, and Prince made an easy dunk.

Next, the task of defending Li Liang was also handed over to Prince.

Larry Brown knows that he can't let Kobe Bryant do whatever he wants.

Prince's defense is much stronger than Hamilton's pressing, and after the Lakers operate in one pass, the ball still can't reach O'Neal's hands, but it is still given out and given to Li Liang.

One of the big problems the Lakers have with the Finals is that O'Neal doesn't really play the role of the axis.

Although O'Neal has a very high success rate in scoring as long as he has the ball, he has no way to lead the whole team.

O'Neal felt like he was back in 1996, when he was with the Magic and played against the mighty Chicago Bulls.

O'Neal can still score high points with a high shooting percentage, but he can't help the Magic win.

Not only could he not win, but he was simply pressed to the ground by the bull and rubbed.

O'Neal's tactical containment was weakened and cut off by the Pistons' defense, and he became an "offensive blue-collar" who could only score.

And in the beginning, it was difficult for the Lakers to give the ball to O'Neal.

Li Liang faced Prince's defense and forced a three-point shot again.

This time he was interfered with and did not hit.

However, when it comes to the defensive end, Li Liang's role is stronger than Kobe's.

He's taller and more aggressive in defense.

Hamilton used the cover to burst into the basket and was fanned off by a big hat from Li Liang.

Li Liang got the ball by himself, and then directly held the ball from the backcourt and rushed to the front court to launch a quick counterattack!

It's a completely different rhythm from the Lakers' positional triangle offense.

But Li Liang played two games, watched the game footage repeatedly, and knew that he had to do it.

Go to the point where you can't grind and chirp, let Payton, the "dribble machine," push in, and then pass a pass that doesn't do anything.

This is a disaster for the Lakers' offense.

Li Liang held the ball and slammed into the basket, but was intercepted by Double Wallace, and finally relied on his experience and strength to win a foul under the basket and get a free throw opportunity.

Phil Jackson sits on the court and pretends to be ...... No, sitting on the sidelines and watching silently, it wasn't arranged like this before the game, but it's also a good thing that Kobe Bryant is so active and efficient.

In fact, the Lakers are far less prepared for the Finals.

After they killed the Spurs in the West with a magical 0.4-second slam, they felt like they had no rival in the league.

After all, since '99, only the Spurs and Lakers can block each other.

Jackson and the coaching staff were clearly not prepared enough for the Pistons.

The only one who is fully prepared is Li Liang, who has played twice!

After hitting two free throws, the Lakers pulled the score away further, and this time Larry Brown called a timeout.

The overall defense of the Pistons was poked out of a hole by Li Liang's point.

Li Liang returned to the bench and looked up at the ceiling, the familiar Stamps.

In the real world, there are already two more championship flags belonging to Li Liang here.

When it comes to the mission, I have to try to add more to this place.

It's really impossible for the people of Los Angeles not to give Li Liangshu a carving.
