At eight o'clock in the evening, the game between the two sides started on time, and it was O'Neill and Big Ben who were in charge of jumping the ball. This group of duels has a strong impact from a visual point of view, Big Ben is not only a head shorter than O'Neal, but also lost more than a lap, but O'Neill does not dare to underestimate the taciturn guy in front of him, and he actually can't take too much advantage every time the two sides fight.

Sure enough, this time O'Neal's jump was a little slower, and it was this slight gap that made Big Ben struggle to touch the ball first in mid-air and dial the ball to Thomas. Thomas passed directly to Billups and then ran towards the Lakers' three-second zone and let Billups organize the offense. This reflects the difference between the Pistons and the 76ers, if it is the 76ers, this time is a fast-break layup, but the Pistons' approach is to fight the opponent steadily and steadily.

Billups controlled the ball as he harassed Fisher while motioning for his teammates to start running. His backcourt partner Hamilton understood it and ran two screens in quick succession around Big Ben and Thomas before finding a gap in the left elbow. When he ran to the right position, Billups' pass also arrived, he didn't adjust at all after receiving the ball, he pulled it up and shot directly in one go, the basketball fell into the basket in response, and Kobe, who was responsible for defending him, is still not in place.

This is Hamilton's most common way to score, it doesn't look cool at all, but the effect is surprisingly good, especially at the end of the game, the player in charge of defending him is basically exhausted, but he still comes out and hits a shot steadily, Chang Wei, who knows his characteristics, is also determined to give full play to his physical advantage.

was the first to score by the opponent, but the Zen master's expression still did not change, which is nothing to him and the Lakers, and it is enough to chase the score back in the next round. The Lakers serve in the backcourt, and Fisher directly gives the ball to Kobe, which is also the Lakers' consistent style, as a point guard, Fisher basically does not need to control the ball, and this task is generally given to Kobe.

After the ball came to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant faced Hamilton's opposing defense, and he was dismissive of the guy in front of him, in his opinion, there are very few people in the league who can defend him, and Hamilton is definitely not among them. Brown didn't expect Hamilton to be able to guard Kobe Bryant, and it would be nice if he could hinder Kobe's speed.

But unexpectedly, Kobe Bryant did not shake Hamilton away from a change of direction, and the latter still stood in place, standing in the way of Kobe's advance. Not only was Brown a little surprised, but Kobe Bryant was also surprised, if he had been contemptuous of Hamilton before, then now he has begun to really regard the guy in front of him as his opponent.

After a series of feints, Bryant finally opened up the game on Hamilton, bursting from the left side to inside the three-point line. Kobe Bryant is not a traditional shooter, and although his big heart has helped the Lakers win many games in key moments, he still prefers to use his skills to burst to the basket and score without many interior stops.

Originally, Kobe Bryant didn't dare to go to the Pistons inside, after all, Big Ben was standing there, and he didn't want to go up to eat hot pot. But this time it was Thomas who stood in front of him, and he was going to hit a shot on the big black man in front of him. Watching Kobe dribble straight to the basket, Thomas was a little nervous, he hadn't been against Kobe before, but he was beaten by the opponent, and now in front of Kobe, the scenes from the past clearly appeared in his mind, and he wasn't quite sure if he could do it, but according to the requirements of the team's defensive system, he couldn't go up at this time.

Bryant slowed down and made a couple of feints as he went, trying to shake Thomas over. Thomas subconsciously moved his left foot, and quickly retracted it, he suddenly thought of the defensive training that Chang Wei had done for him before, at this time, the opponent's upper body feints would be dazzling, and the only thing to pay attention to was the movement of the footsteps.

Seeing that Thomas was unmoved, Kobe Bryant was a little anxious, and there was not much time left to attack, so he had to take a step to the side, drifting and about to shoot. But as soon as the basketball flew out of his hand, a big hand came out from behind Thomas, fanning Kobe's shot out of the sideline, and it was the big book that came over and was ready to help defend at any time.

After Kobe Bryant landed, he took a deep look at Big Ben, and there was undisguised jealousy in his eyes. After this block, the technical desk returned to the table and only left the Lakers with 2.1 seconds to attack, and in the end, their attack came to naught. The Zen master's eyes flashed, and he couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up and loudly instructed the players on the sidelines to prepare for defense.

During training camp, Brown mainly focused on the team's defense, and relatively little effort on the offensive end, so the Pistons' offensive changes were relatively small, and the main scoring point was Hamilton alone, perhaps with Thomas. As for Billups, Brown still hopes that he will focus on organizing the offense, and it is enough to be a catch-and-shoot three-point shooter, and it does not require him to have strong one-on-one skills, after all, the Pistons are still focused on team offense.

This time Hamilton went around the cover to catch the ball and didn't make it, and the switching Szczebiak managed to interfere with his shot, and the rebound was taken by O'Neal. But in the end, the Lakers were deflated on the inside again, this time it was Walker who was blocked, and it was Thomas who gave him the fatal blow, which made Brown nod his head again and again from the sidelines.

Although Szczebiak hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner at the end of the round, the Pistons' interior line has become a restricted area, and any player who dares to score in the three-second zone must be mentally prepared to be blocked by the opponent, and Kobe and Walker have proved this with practical actions. However, due to the Pistons' inefficient offense, they still trailed 22-27 at the end of the first quarter, and more than half of those 22 points were scored by Hamilton.

This kind of performance made Chang Wei shake his head secretly, it seems that he can't completely pin his hopes on the defensive end, after all, no matter how much you defend, it is impossible for the opponent to not score at all, and when the opponent scores but you can't score, the situation is quite passive. However, it is not good to say that the Pistons are going to lose 100% of this game, anyway, there are still three quarters left, and they can continue to experiment, if they can exchange one game for a stable system, this deal is definitely not a loss.
