Even if the Pistons are a civilian team without superstars, they have beaten this Lakers team before, so they are qualified to cause Sun Zhuo to look at it differently.

Double Wallace didn't expect Sun Zhuo, a rookie rookie, to rush into the inner line as soon as he came up, and he was completely frightened by Sun Zhuo's courage at this moment.

The audience was also pleasantly surprised.

"Haha, Sun's first shot in the finals was his signature double-turn dunk! You can tell he's excited, and although there aren't any superstars on the other side, it's the finals! ”

"I think his dunk is a complaint against the Pistons, everyone knows that Sun Duo wants to meet the Pacers, and then teach Artest a good lesson, and even wants to watch Artest fulfill his promise, and the Pistons prevent them from meeting."

Whatever the reason, everyone knows that the rookie is serious.

"Abominable boy......" Rashid Wallace didn't expect Sun Zhuo to dare to provoke them, if it was the regular season, he would have the urge to come forward and fight with Sun Zhuo at the moment, what do you mean I heard that we are very strong?

Ben Wallace also felt embarrassed to be so rampant on the inside by such a rookie, and he swore that this was the only dunk by Sun Zhuo in this game.

The game began to become very intense because of Sun Zhuo's dunk, and in the first quarter alone, the physical strength of the main players on both sides was huge, especially from the two veterans of Karl Malone and Gary Payton.

The Lakers scored the most points O'Neal, but it was Kobe Bryant who shot the most, and Sun Zhuo also got some points, and the Lakers' scores basically relied on the three of them.

And the Pistons' scoring is very dependent on the team, their team offense is no better than the Spurs, they don't have talented players like Tim Duncan, Ginobili, Tony Parker, but you just watch Billups shoot at random, and it goes in easily, and the skinny Prince doesn't run as fast as Ginobili, but he can always catch the ball and sneak under the basket.

Gradually, the Pistons relied on the team's offense and defense and began to gradually lead the score.

"It's really strange that this Pistons don't feel better than Popovich's Spurs, why can we easily get revenge on the Spurs, but play the Pistons so hard?"

Many fans compare this Pistons to the Spurs in the West, on the one hand, their coaches have a mentorship relationship, and there must be many similarities in coaching philosophy, on the other hand, both teams win as a team, and the Spurs have more talented players.

So why did the Lakers play the Pistons and get into trouble in Game 1?

"This Lakers team has changed, when they play the Spurs, they are determined to get revenge and prove themselves, everybody is full of fighting spirit and they are very serious about every shot, because they have lost to the Spurs and they know that they can't take it lightly or they will lose again. But when it comes to the Pistons, their concentration is not as good as before, and everyone thinks differently, their minds are mixed with too much mess, and they are no longer the cohesive team, in addition, they are very familiar with the Spurs, and even prepared for a whole year in order to take revenge on the Spurs, but they absolutely did not know that they would meet the Pistons a year ago, they are too unfamiliar with this opponent! ”

Seeing this, Wade also analyzed the reasons why the Lakers did not go as smoothly as they imagined.

"Defend! Concentrate on defense! And rebounding, you've been robbed of too many rebounds by your opponents! During a timeout in the second quarter, Phil Jackson yelled at everyone.

To play a civilian team like the Pistons, you have to start from the details, every rebound, every defense, every free throw, because they don't have superstars, so there are no super scorers, they don't have the possibility of overturning the Lakers in a short period of time, so deal with every detail, and the Lakers can win.

But the problem is that every Lakers player is impatient right now, Kobe Bryant wants to open up the advantage by shooting wildly, O'Neal also wants to play dominant, and Karl Malone also wants to prove that he is not old, which backfires in the end.

The Pistons have been leading by 5-8 points, the difference is not big, but the Lakers have been suppressed so much that they can't always raise the momentum of the counterattack, Sun Zhuo has gradually felt the terrible defense of the Pistons, Sun Zhuo's bottom corner three-point ability has long been exposed, Hamilton who defends him is very attentive, and would rather give Sun Zhuo two points than give Sun Zhuo three points, there are no players in the Pistons team who can give Sun Zhuo a headache like Ginobili, and they will not spray trash talk at you, but this is not strong or weak The defensive atmosphere is not weak, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"It's really strange that this game is so boring that you can't play with passion." Sun Zhuo deliberately played a double-turn dunk on the first ball, trying to make the game crazy, but slowly, the game calmed down again, and the Pistons' special ability to play with you is particularly manic.

At the last moment, the Lakers still didn't have many points behind, but no one could stand up as a savior, and Rasheed Wallace hit shots in the face of Karl Malone, who had a huge physical exertion, causing the Lakers to lose to the Pistons in the first game!

O'Neal scored 27 points and Kobe Bryant scored 25 points, the two were evenly matched, but Kobe Bryant scored 25 points but used 26 shots, after the two, Sun Zhuo scored the most, 13 points, and none of the others scored more than 7 points, the Lakers relied too much on O'Neal and Kobe.

And the Pistons, the starting five Tigers, all scored double-doubles, the data was very average, and Billups got the team's highest score.

After losing the first game, every Lakers player lowered their heads, and they finally unloaded their pride and arrogance, which is a good thing, so Sun Zhuo didn't plan to use the repeat challenge card to play again, just start the game 0:1, let everyone know that the Pistons are a strong opponent, and everyone has to work together to win.

After the game, just when Sun Zhuo was on the field and wanted to walk back to the locker room, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

"Hey."

Sun Zhuo turned his head and saw that it was Ben Wallace.

Although Ben Wallace didn't completely restrain O'Neal, he cut O'Neal off contact with the rest of his teammates, and made O'Neal use up a lot of energy, so O'Neal didn't receive a mid-height aerial relay in the third quarter.

"Ben?" Sun Zhuo looked at Wallace with some surprise.

Ben Wallace smiled smugly and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

"What?"

"Yes, we are strong!"

This is a response to Sun Zhuo's provocation after his first dunk, before the series starts, the Pistons are the more nervous side, they don't have a strong lineup with the Lakers, they are struggling to advance in the East, and no one is optimistic about them winning the championship.

But after Game 1, the Pistons proved themselves to the world.
