In the first three quarters, the Lakers played very aggrieved, not because they were behind in the score, but because they were always at a disadvantage on the court, and it can even be said that they were always pressed by the Pistons. If it were another team, it might not be so resentful, but the Lakers are a luxury team with four superstars, and the feeling of not being able to fight back makes them very unhappy.

The unfortunate result is that the stars are more likely to play at a higher level. They all know that if they don't fight now, they will have to wait until next season, so the Lakers began to attack aggressively at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and they no longer expect to defend against the Pistons' offense, as long as they can score more points than the Pistons, they can also win the game.

The Lakers' sudden outburst also surprised the entire Pistons team, and they were completely unprepared for a small 8-0 climax by their opponents. With Bryant's three-pointer, the difference between the two sides returned to nine points, and the fourth quarter was less than 2 minutes into it. This is very dangerous for the Pistons, now that the Lakers' momentum has risen, if they don't respond, it is not impossible to be directly tied or even overtaken by the opponent, and what the Pistons need most now is to score quickly.

Of course, Brown saw this, so he took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to directly replace Prince with Wade, and sacrificed the most lethal three-guard lineup. However, the main reason for replacing Wade now is to hope that he will become the No. 1 striker, disrupt the Lakers' defense and create opportunities for his teammates, after all, Billups is also a good three-point shooter and can't waste his firepower.

When it comes to court command and combing offense, the young Wade is obviously still far from Billups, but the team doesn't need him to do that work now. Wade's main task when he comes on the court is to break through, attract the defense and pass the ball to his teammates who are in the open space, which is undoubtedly a piece of cake for him, which is how he played when he led the bench.

The Pistons' three-point shooting obviously can't go back to the magical feel of the first half, but it's still much better than the 1-of-6 shooting in the third quarter, which is their normal level. Even at a normal level, it's enough for the Lakers to drink a pot, and they don't dare to let the Pistons shoot in the open space on the outside, but it also gives Wade more room to break through. With the Flash's assault ability and the courage of the newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, scoring under the basket is not difficult for him, and even caused Malone to foul in a row.

Seeing Malone once again be fouled for blocking Wade's breakthrough, Brown couldn't help but wave his fist on the sidelines. Wade did a great job, and under his deliberate targeting, Malone has now committed five fouls, which presents a difficult problem for the Zen master, whether to continue to keep Malone on the court, or replace Walker to make up the numbers, and then let Malone play at the last moment?

The decisive Zen master unsurprisingly chose to make a substitution, he is very confident in dragging the Pistons into the decisive moment, if he does not replace Malone now, then the team will lack a big player in the team at a critical moment. Moreover, it is not a good thing to keep Malone on the court, he will become a hole in the team's defense, and the Pistons will definitely target him.

Since being relegated to the bench, Walker's stats have looked a lot better, which may also have something to do with the increase in his chances. However, now he exposed the nature of his frustration, and of course Wade was too lazy to rush him, but handed the ball to Thomas, who was already stuck in position, who easily ran past Walker and hooked O'Neal before he could make up the defense.

The Zen master's face was dark, but there was nothing he could do about it, he couldn't put all the water cooler guards up. One of the main costs of the Lakers' gathering of the big four stars is that their bench is not very good, not to mention the players who often sit at the end of the bench for an entire game, and the Zen master has no interest in letting them warm up, let alone play.

It's a bit of a surprise that Walker is so poor on the defensive end, but the Zen master still has a little expectation that Walker can contribute on the offensive end. However, he was soon disappointed, and Walker did get into a good position under the basket, but when he received a pass from Payton, the basketball unbelievably slipped out of his hand and turned into a turnover.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one available on the bench, the Zen master really wanted to kick Walker off the court, but looking at the time on the timer, he put up with it for more than 7 minutes, hoping that the other players of the Lakers would perform better!

However, as the Lakers' No. 4 position on the court, Walker's poor performance did affect the whole team, and others wiped his ass hard. On the contrary, the pressure on the Pistons on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is greatly reduced, which also makes them play more relaxed, and the shooting percentage naturally increases further. In less than three minutes, the Pistons once again extended the margin to double digits, in which Walker had to take the blame for the Lakers as a team, and he did not score a single point in that period and had three turnovers.

Seeing that the Pistons were going to stretch the difference to 20 points, the Zen master couldn't help it, he simply replaced Ma Long, if he couldn't hit the critical moment, it was useless to keep the last foul (the critical moment refers to the situation where the difference in the last 5 minutes is within 5 points). However, Malone is also powerless to save the Lakers, even if he shoots inside and outside to cut 8 points is useless, the Pistons' lead is too big, and the Lakers can't prevent their ubiquitous offense at all, Malone just doesn't let the difference continue to widen.

As the minutes ticked by, the fans in the audience had all stood up, everyone had smiles on their faces, and some of the gray-haired old fans even shed tears of excitement. The last time the Pistons won a championship was back in the 1989-90 season, when the Pistons jersey was still worn by the famous "Bad Boy Army", and the main shooting guard at the time, Joe Dumas, was the current general manager of the Pistons. He sat in the box, as if he saw himself and Thomas, Ranbill, and Rodman win the O'Brien Cup together, and now the Pistons are only a few minutes away from winning the third championship in team history!

By the time the number on the timer finally reached zero, the entire Auburn Hills Palace Arena erupted in a tsunami of cheers, and the entire Pistons rushed onto the court to celebrate the hard-won championship trophy. No one cares about the Lakers who said goodbye in a hurry, this night belongs to the Detroiters, belongs to the Pistons who dream of returning to the top, and the 16-1 playoff record also set an all-time record, and their championship is undisputed!
