The substitutions did not interrupt the Pistons' offense, and they finally regained the initiative on the court amid the cheers of the home fans. After Billups hit a corner three-pointer, the Pistons tied the score and the two sides were back on the same page.

Brown is very satisfied with the performance of the benches, and he likes his team's bench bandits more and more, especially the backcourt combination of Wade and Crawford, which is simply the level of the starting backcourt when put into other mid-range teams, but in the Pistons, they play on the bench, so many teams say that they are quite extravagant in terms of arrangement.

Brown never takes luxury to heart, as long as it is easy to use, obviously they are all very good players. It was because of their encouragement that the Pistons' starting five tigers regained their form, and the Lakers' F4 couldn't hold them down. Of course, in terms of individual offense alone, the Pistons' starters may not be as good as their benches, but in terms of overall they are arguably the best in the league, and everyone except Big Ben is very actively involved in the offense, and they don't hesitate to shoot when they have the opportunity.

Compared to the Pistons, the Lakers' offense looks a little rough, which is not to say that they don't play well, with the Lakers' on-court lineup, several superstars are gorgeous enough to play casually. But the problem is that the Lakers are more advocating individual singles, even if there are some tactical shadows, there is no system, and singles with the ball still occupy a large proportion.

If it weren't for the strength of the Lakers' players, it would be difficult to guarantee their offensive efficiency, and even so, they failed to play their familiar rhythm and were led by the Pistons. Each of the Pistons' offensive rounds consumes a lot of time, but their transmission and movement never stops, and only when the best time comes to deliver the fatal blow.

And the Pistons' retreat speed is also very fast, the Lakers' good at switching offense can't play at all, Kobe and Szebiak had to slow down after rushing to the frontcourt, because they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Pistons players at the first time, and they could only stop and play positional battles. This is something that the Lakers haven't experienced for a long time, and under normal circumstances, their transition offense is also one of the scoring weapons, but unfortunately it didn't work today, after all, the speed of the Pistons is specially trained by Chang Wei.

However, the Lakers are a model of superstar basketball, and whenever the Pistons are ready to open the score, they always have someone to step up and score, so as not to let the score between the two sides stretch too far. At halftime, with a mid-range shot from Bryant, the Lakers temporarily trailed by 3 points at 52-55, and it was only a round affair, and the difference between the two sides was close to nothing.

Brown did not criticize the players at halftime, he knew that it was already good to play like this with the Lakers, although the Pistons are more overall than the Lakers, but the opposing team's star lineup is not vegetarian. However, Brown still wants his players to take the lead in the third quarter, and in his opinion, the Lakers are indeed strong, but the Pistons are definitely not weak.

In fact, the Pistons were able to play a wave in the third or fourth quarter to decide the game, and Brown thought they could repeat that in this game. It is true that the Lakers took the lead in the first quarter to seize the advantage on the court, but the first move may not be able to control others, and the late start does not have to be controlled by others.

In an effort to bolster the team's offensive firepower, Brown also put Wade in Prince's place, a three-guard lineup that the Pistons are also good at. The Pistons have used the three-guard lineup countless times this season, but there is no team that can crack their lineup, these three guards have their own roles, and together they have a strong impact, although they don't have much time playing at the same time, it doesn't mean that they are not strong enough, it's just that Brown is unwilling to let them show their true strength.

The Lakers originally wanted to attack against each other, but the Zen master found that their scoring speed was not as fast as the Pistons' three guards, and Thomas and Big Ben had completely turned into a cover wall and rebounding machine, doing their best to create scoring opportunities for Wade and them. In such a situation, the Pistons' three-guard lineup is almost like lifting the seal.

With Wade and Billups in turn, the Lakers' defense was quickly smashed, and the Lakers had to spend more energy on the defensive end. But they soon found themselves in vain, they weren't very good at defending themselves, and now it was even more tragic that even when they were in place, their opponents were able to keep scoring.

In desperation, the Zen master also asked the players to turn on the offensive mode and try to play against the Pistons. This instruction, he himself also thinks it's a little funny, fighting with a defensive team to attack? I'm really a little confused......

But now that the Lakers' offense is obviously inferior to the Pistons, it is a natural choice to increase their offensive firepower. The Zen master hopes that O'Neill and Malone can open the gap from the inside, so that they can also lead the attack on the outside. The Lakers' offense soon became ugly, but the success rate increased significantly, O'Neal and Malone took turns to play singles in the low post, and even played a small cooperation in the inside pass, Thomas's defense suddenly became their breakthrough, and it was difficult to get it with Big Ben wiping his ass.

There is nothing Brown can do about this, the Pistons' interior combination is excellent in the league, but it is still weak in the face of O'Neal and Malone. Although Malone has now entered the end of his career, as long as O'Neal exists, the Lakers' interior line is the top in the league, and it is normal for the combination of Thomas + Big Ben to not stop them from joining forces.

However, the Pistons' outside offense also made the Lakers helpless, Kobe and Payton's defense is indeed very good, but Szczebiak is a big colander, the Pistons' way is very simple, whoever is opposite Szczebiak, pass the ball to whom, let him go to Szczebiak heads-up, and heads-up will generally directly become the Pistons' score in the end.

In contrast, the three-point shot is still worth a little more than the two-point shot, and the Pistons players are very hot in this quarter, and the Pistons still lead 75-70 after the third quarter, but that doesn't mean they can win the game. With the final 12 minutes of the fourth quarter, no one knows where the game will go, but at least for now, the Pistons still have the upper hand, and maybe it can be their advantage in the final crunch time.
