Chapter 226: Top of the Eastern District! (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, 3/3)
When Jackson saw that the other party was going to fight with the Lakers, he decisively replaced Kobe Bryant again.
Both teams are in a lot of mood right now! On the Lakers' side, they don't dare to mess with O'Neal, and the other players really have a rhythm to play minute by minute! Although it is said that the regular season has just begun, it is nothing for a player to suffer a minor injury, as long as it is not reimbursed for the season.
In the playoffs, they can still get in. But in terms of rankings, I think it will be affected to some extent. I used to think that Zhou Yang might become a good forward player in terms of organization in the future.
But today, this kid's offensive ability is not weak at all! Why didn't you fight like this before? Jackson formulates tactics based on the characteristics of the players themselves, and if there are too many types, some players will take the initiative to change.
Putting the right players in the right positions and playing a role when there are times is what he wants to achieve.
After the Pistons came back from a timeout, they saw that there were not many players on the Lakers' side who could attack! Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant made them suddenly feel relaxed off the court!! Then the Pistons began to launch a fierce attack!
Although Big Ben is on its way to Chicago, Detroit isn't weak here this season! They now have 4 people in the center position that can be rotated quickly! Except for Nazre's movement, scramble and defense, which are relatively weak, the other three are very tough!
Veterans Webb and McDies both have good physical fitness and experience in the field! And Rashid, who is also young, is a role that is valued by the team at this time! In this way, as long as the Pistons' interior line goes down, they will have the opportunity to play the game mainly by attacking under the basket!
......
"I think we can demoralize them in the third quarter!" Wallace shouted in the hallway with some excitement!
"Everyone should be careful and make as few mistakes as possible," Billups said calmly before turning back to the locker room to rest.
"They're just starting off harder! Look at that Coach Phil! Let's have momentum together, and he will immediately replace the one called Yang and Kobe!! Clearly is a sign of fear! He dared to let those two people come up, and I immediately asked them to go to the hospital!! The defense is so tough!! ”
63:58! The Lakers have narrowed the gap to 5 points after the end of the quarter! O'Neill has not played long since every game. Today, after two consecutive quarters, I already showed fatigue.
Odom really hasn't gotten used to the pace of the game yet. And such a fierce contest Zen master can't let him play too much. Zhou Yang's performance today refreshed Jackson's perception of him.
It seems that the organization of the next game will depend on Evans and Wharton. Walton's words have always been decent for the team, and Evans has been more obedient since he arrived from the Pistons......
'O'Neill played a big part in the team today. But he's not going to play the whole game. So in the third quarter, Meme did a good job of defending the basket."
It was surprisingly quiet in the locker room at this time, and it seemed that the Lakers players didn't take it too seriously at halftime. They want to get back on the field right away! Odom didn't say anything when he heard this, and Mim did take a lot of data when he was in the hospital.
Now it's even more impossible to let him play small forward.
'Wharton organises the game and the defenders pass the ball a lot. We can't let them overtake us in this section! ”
After returning to the court, the Pistons' eyes were going green when they saw that the Lakers' super center finally went down...... It seems that they don't pay attention to the Lakers lineup in front of them!
The lineup of the Pistons who came back in the third quarter was Rashid, McDyes, Prince, Delfino, Ronald! Billups' words felt like he still had to give him a break. In the last quarter, he still needs to press the formation!
The Lakers' lineup was changed to Meme, Zhou Yang, Wharton, Kobe Bryant and Vujasic!
Rashid got Ronald's ground-hitting pass in the front court and turned around and slapped Zhou Yang in the face~
"Did I touch you? The referee pretended to be "Rashid finished speaking, and saw that Zhou Yang had just stood up from the ground, and his mouth was already bleeding, so he didn't say anything more.
The Lakers' team doctor immediately went on the court to stop the bleeding. And everything that just happened was not blown by the referee. Bryant and the two referees argued there for a long time without giving a result.
The basketball just touched Meme's leg and went out, so it was the Pistons' ball. After Rashid got the basketball again, he easily bypassed Mime and knocked Zhou Yang out of the court directly in the process of layup!!
Two players with obvious size differences collided together, and almost every time Zhou Yang was the first to be knocked down. Zhou Yang stood there holding his stomach for almost 20 seconds before waving to the team doctor next to him.
Rashid just hit a penalty and managed to make it 2+1!
"I don't feel hard enough when you hit him," Zhou Yang whispered to Wallace as he passed him.
"Who gave you the courage?! I'll give you a taste of my awesomeness in a moment! Wallace didn't expect Zhou Yang to be able to say such things after being made by him twice. He is holding on like this, and it probably won't be long before he will be replaced!
After Vujacic got the ball, he immediately subconsciously passed it to Zhou Yang. Before McDyes's passed, Zhou Yang had already scored three points in his hand!!
Rashid takes the initiative to ask for the ball! Delfino wanted to throw it himself, but saw that their main man was there and was going to beat him if he didn't pass the ball, so he immediately threw the ball over......
"You, come here!!" Wallace was there to confront Mime and shouted to Zhou Yang.
"I won't go over~" Zhou Yang said at this time as he stepped back......
"Haha, he's afraid of me! I should have thought of ...... it!! Before Rashid could take his eyes back, Mime cut off Rashid's ball and passed it to Kobe. At this time, Zhou Yang had already gone to the front court to receive Kobe's pass and then hit the three points!!
"Zhou Yang will go there and two people to defend him!" The head coach of the Pistons, who was on the sidelines, shouted at his players with some anger at this time. How can you let people go like this!
"This kid...... I'll deal with Mime. You have to give him some color! Rashid suddenly said to his teammates McDice and Prince.
The basketball went to Ronald, and after he missed a three-pointer, Prince grabbed a rebound and passed to McDyce, who scored on a dunk under Meme's defense!
At this time, the fans at the scene were already holding their breath! Zhou Yang is still 6 points away from his 30 points in this game! At the moment he is still the one who has scored the most points in the game!
After coming to the frontcourt, Zhou Yang watched the Pistons players begin to wrap up and pass the ball to Wharton. The latter's long-range 2 points hit the iron directly. Kobe Bryant missed a three-point shot after getting the basketball, and Rashid got a rebound and passed the ball directly to Prince!
"It seems that this kid is still a little sane," the Zen master stood quietly on the sidelines, he thought at first that Zhou Yang was completely carried away by the anger of last season's finals, so he kept attacking in this game. Not entirely that way now.
......
Originally, the Pistons still fantasized about making the Lakers fall behind in the third quarter, or even widening the point difference...... The third quarter ended at 98:79...... Pistons 79 points...... 19 points behind the Lakers!
Detroit has replaced all of their main players...... What's going on? Shame on your home turf? On the Lakers' side, Zhou Yang was selected, and the other players were replaced except Kobe, and O'Neal also replaced Mime!
When the big sharks came on the court, the Pistons' temper was gone...... The Lakers still attacked fiercely in the fourth quarter! Kobe's hands seemed to be smoking at this time!
128:98! In the final quarter of the game, the Lakers scored 30 points! And the other party has already entered garbage time. The team's morale was also much lower, with only 19 points in the final quarter.
O'Neal didn't play much in this quarter...... Kobe Bryant alone kept firing guns there!
The Pistons scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists this night! Webb 9 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists! Hamilton had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Billups had 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Ronald had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
The opponent's game is limited to only Ao Fat, which is more difficult to deal with. In a nutshell...... It's a special offense that can't keep up with the opponent's firepower!!
On the Lakers' side, O'Neal got 16 points, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks!! Meme 12 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists! Zhou Yang 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals! Kobe Bryant 43 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists! Smash 7 points, 1 rebound and 9 assists!
Zhou Yang and Kobe Bryant combined to score 73 points!! If it weren't for Zhou Yang being replaced in the fourth quarter, he might have scored more than 35 points! Six minutes into the fourth quarter, Jackson was already sitting on the bench and thinking about how to deal with the next opponent, the Cavaliers.
The news has come out, the Spurs lost one game today, so according to the Lakers' current winning rate, they will directly return to the first place in the West! Only one loss in the regular season so far!
And they are about to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, the top of the Eastern Conference who have only lost three games so far!
