In the finals G2, after suffering the loss of the last game, Zen master Jackson also rearranged the lineup.

Replaced Devon George with Fisher Fisher......

Payton continued to stay on the court to play the team's No. 2 position, and Bryant was mentioned at the No. 3 position.

I have to say that this arrangement still has some effect, at least Fisher's offensive firepower is stronger than Devon George.

Until the last minute of the game, the scores of both sides were in the scorching heat.

O'Neal's offensive efficiency is frighteningly high, with an average shooting rate of more than 80%!

This is definitely not a joke, the pinnacle O'Neill is so terrifying.

But because there were not too many opportunities to shoot, O'Neal could only stare dryly and could not help the team open up the situation.

If O'Neal hadn't had such a terrifying finishing ability under the basket, the Lakers would have been shattered by the Pistons.

Richard sighed secretly, his time was really bad, and he happened to meet the peak O'Neill......

Richard still had a way to treat O'Neal before, using shark slashing tactics, and the key to this round of the finals O'Neal didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and his free throws were extraordinary.

It's a bug!

As the game ticked by, the Pistons led by three points and the Lakers had their final offensive round.

Kobe Bryant made a three-point shot from the outside, and it seemed good to look at the spot, but the basketball hit the basket and didn't hit.

O'Neal under the basket jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound directly.

For the first time, O'Neill did not choose to attack on his own, because there were only three seconds left before the end of the game.

The ball O'Neal went straight to the outside and into the hands of Payton Glove.

Payton was under the defense of Ragabel, and if he shot rashly, the probability of hitting was too low and too low, and Kobe, the main point of attack, was stuck by Gerrard, and there was not even space to pass.

There was only one Fisher left, and Peyton didn't dare to delay, and directly passed on his last hope to Fisher......

"Huh!" With less than a second to go before the end of the game, Fisher was in danger and made a three-point shot to succeed!

A lucky Fisher dragged the game straight into overtime!

The Pistons fans at the scene couldn't help but get a little nervous.

This year's finals, watching him was too nervous, and he felt out of breath.

Although the Pistons won the first game, they did not get much advantage.

This game even dragged into overtime!

Originally, Pistons fans thought that their Pistons army could easily defeat the Lakers, a patchwork lineup, but now it seems that a supergiant is a supergiant, even if it is an old supergiant, the strength is unquestionable.

……

Richard sat on the sidelines for a long time, and although the game went into overtime, he didn't particularly care.

The Lakers are almost at the end of their saga.

O'Neal and Kobe played the full 48 minutes, and Kobe Bryant said that O'Neal is estimated to be quite tired now.

With such a large tonnage, coupled with the fact that he is not young, it is already an extremely difficult thing to play the whole game, not to mention that there will be overtime next.

As for Malone and Peyton, that's even worse.

Malone played 45 minutes, Payton played 40 minutes, and the two men reached the end of their strong crossbow.

Richard could clearly feel the two veterans, their legs trembling, and if it weren't for the belief in winning the championship to support them, they would probably be tired and paralyzed on the bench by now.

"Cheer up, as long as we win this game, we have home advantage and we will win a third of the championship!"

Zen Master Jackson yelled at the players that he needed them to fight at such a critical moment.

It's the Pistons' home court, and if they can win, they'll wipe out the Pistons' home-court advantage.

That would increase their chances of winning the title by a third.

At the referee's whistle, both sides returned to the pitch......

Richard didn't put Yao Ming on it, Yao Ming also played for 42 minutes tonight, and now he was tired and pale.

If he played against other players for more than 40 minutes, Yao Ming might still be tired, but not to the point where he was so pale at the moment.

Every time he is in opposition to O'Neill, Yao Ming must use all his strength to fight, and this physical consumption can be imagined.

……

Richard gave Yao Ming a break, and Clark was promoted to the center position, and Boozer was replaced by Boozer as a power forward.

Boozer has only played for a few minutes tonight, and he is extremely energetic at the moment, and if he appears, the effect may not be worse than Yao Ming.

"Man, give me a hard speed!"

"I'm going to exhaust them!"

Richard patted Nash on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Nash nodded, he's the easiest starter ever, having only played thirty-five minutes tonight.

Nash has a lot of fitness left at the moment, and he can definitely do it if he speeds up in overtime.

When the referee blows the whistle, the players from both sides return to the field.

This time, the Pistons obviously changed their strategy, starting from the original slow-paced positional battle to a fast attack.

As soon as the game started, Nash took the lead, quickly dribbled to the frontcourt, and without waiting for several Lakers veterans to settle down, he passed the ball to Boozer at the first time, and the latter flew to dunk it.

Jackson, the Zen master on the sidelines, had a blue face.

He knew that the Lakers were finished, and his veterans were already completely out of fitness, and now that the Pistons were playing a fast break, the veterans couldn't keep up at all......

It was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Fisher slowed down as much as he could.

But this slowness gave Nash a chance to steal.

Although the steal was not successful, it also wasted a lot of time in the Lakers' offensive round.

Malone missed the rebound and was grabbed by O'Neal, who made a dunk.

In the blink of an eye, the clock was already in the middle of overtime, and even Richard had to admire the perseverance of these veterans.

Even if they were out of breath, they still desperately appeared where they should have appeared.

Kobe Bryant's offense also missed, and Malone and Boozer near the basket jumped up to grab rebounds.

As a result, the mutation abruptly appeared.

Malone grabbed the rebound, stepped directly on Boozer's feet when he fell, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

Boozer, who stepped on this foot, was also in pain......

Ma Long's situation seems to be even more serious, covering his ankles at the moment, and cold sweat is breaking out on his forehead.

……

The Lakers players are dumbfounded, Malone is injured?!

This is definitely a bolt from the blue for their Lakers!

It is true that Malone has made limited contributions to the Lakers on the offensive end, but he can still play a big role on the defensive end and rebounding.

In these two games, Clark's scoring and rebounding did not hit a double-double, which is due to Malone.

And now if Malone is injured, what will happen to the Lakers? It's completely finished!

All the Lakers players prayed in their hearts, praying for God to bless and hope that Malone's injury was not serious.

Richard on the sidelines sighed secretly, it's time to come.

It stands to reason that Richard should be happy, after all, with Malone's injury, the Lakers are already meat on the board and are no longer the opponent of the Pistons.

But Richard couldn't be happy, tonight is already Malone's curtain call, this old guy who has been in the league for many years, tonight is also the time to say goodbye to the court.

Richard didn't have any resentment against Malone, and what he really hated was Stockton......

Now that Malone is on the curtain call, Richard still has a trace of sadness in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, Malone was actually injured when he played more than ten minutes in G3 in the finals, and said goodbye to the NBA forever.

And now it may be these two games, and the confrontation is more intense than normal, causing Malone to not hold out until the third game.

……

The two injured players have been helped off the field by the team doctor and teammates, and are obviously unable to participate in the game.

At this moment, Richard directly put Yao Ming, who had rested for a while, on the field.

The Lakers had no choice but to put Devin George......

The balance of victory is already clearly tilted in favor of the pistons.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Pistons sat at home and saved their second home court with a score of 104-98.

Countless Lakers fans watched the live broadcast of this game, and when they saw Malone injured, they chuckled in their hearts, knowing that the Lakers were gone.

Now the only thing that can keep the Lakers' hopes of winning the championship is that Malone is not seriously injured and can return to the next game.

Otherwise, the Pistons will take a 3-0 lead, and the Lakers will not even have the slightest hope of winning the championship.

……

But this last hope was also dashed in an instant, before the start of G3, the Lakers officially released a heavy news that Malone has a serious ankle injury and will miss the next Finals schedule.

The whole city of Los Angeles became gloomy because of this news......

As for the Pistons fans, they are naturally rejoicing, originally they were worried that the Pistons would be killed by the Lakers this year, but now it seems that the Lakers are completely out of play.

……

On June 9th, the finals G3 kicked off at Staples Arena.

In this game, the Lakers suffered a big defeat, and in the end they only scored 71 points in the whole game.

Even O'Neal, who has always been stable, only had 14 points and 8 rebounds tonight......

The Lakers' hearts are in turmoil, and the players can't see the hope of winning the championship, so they naturally don't have such a strong confidence in winning the championship now.

……

The Pistons directly played a big score of 3:0, and if nothing else, they will definitely solve the opponent within two games.

Just when the Pistons were preparing for the Finals G4, Davidson Sr. made an inexplicable phone call.

"Lee, can you put some water in G4 and strive to win the championship at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena?"

"You should know why......"

"But it's up to you, and if you think it's going to affect the championship, then you can just win at their Staples Arena."

Old Davidson said to Richard with some embarrassment on the phone.
