Chapter 381: The Lakers overtake
The first quarter was very disappointing for the Lakers players, and it also disappointed the Lakers fans and spectators, who originally wanted to see the return of the king, but now they are really disappointed to see that they are mainly anti-guest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Lakers players are also anxious about this matter, and although Phil Jackson still looks like an old monk sitting down on the surface, he is actually anxious in his heart.
It can be seen from his hasty deployment of tactics that Phil Jackson's anxiety, in fact, Osborne is also very anxious, because his teammates play so well, they can't show his importance, and if Larry Brown deliberately reduces his playing time, it is not good news for him to snatch the FMVP, so Osborne also directly asked Larry Brown to fight: "Boss, I've rested enough, I want to play a whole quarter in the second quarter of the game, and I want unlimited firing rights." ”
Larry Brown knows what Osborne thinks, he won't deliberately suppress Osborne, but he doesn't want to favor him, after all, they are all teammates of the same team, and it doesn't matter much to him to anyone, after all, as the head coach of the team, the position is already strictly neutral, and whoever performs well will use whom, so since Osborne has the heart to fight, he doesn't mind, but the premise is that the Pistons must win.
But no matter what, he finally got what he wanted, and with the opportunity to play, Osborne was also ready to do a big job, after all, time was limited and he had to get the most points in the shortest time.
The Lakers also traded Karl Malone for a younger player, which is all for defense anyway, so why not choose a younger defensive player?
Phil Jackson also asked players to move the ball faster, be tougher defensively, and be sure to drag the opponent into the rhythm of the Lakers' game.
The second quarter of the game between the two teams was also quite intense, both sides did not give in to each other, the Lakers came up and gave the Pistons a three-pointer, needless to say that this three-point shot was also shot by Kobe, and no one else on the Lakers team had Kobe's projection ability.
Kobe Bryant didn't know what to do as much as he did in the first quarter, Kobe Bryant's performance in the first quarter always made me feel a little struggling, although he scored a lot, but it can't be said that he scored high, because he shot a lot and had a large base.
After Kobe Bryant made a three-pointer, the Pistons wanted to fight back, but Kobe Bryant and Gary Payton teamed up to disrupt the pick-and-roll between Chauncey Billups and Osborne. Osborne's shot was almost blocked by Kobe Bryant, and although it didn't end up being blocked, as long as it stopped you from scoring, it was a good defense.
And people say that Kobe Bryant's right hand is used to shoot and score, Kobe Bryant's left hand is used to defend blocks, and Osborne has seen Kobe's highlight videos before, and there are really a lot of left-handed blocks or steals.
The rebound was picked up by Rasheed Wallace, and he didn't hesitate, jumping up and making a mid-range shot for Osborne.
Seeing such a fierce confrontation between the Lakers and the Pistons, the fans, spectators and commentators were very excited, "We have a good show tonight, originally we all thought that today would be the day when the Lakers will return as kings, after all, they won the last game and pulled the advantage to themselves, but unfortunately we didn't see such a game." However, although this game may not be in the mood of the fans in person and the Lakers fans, it is a great opportunity for the majority of viewers and friends, as well as overseas fans and spectators, because they will see a wonderful game that is evenly matched. ”
"yes, I'm a little disappointed, but as a commentator I can't be biased, and that balance of power doesn't last long, either the Lakers players explode or the Pistons players turn the game into garbage time."
The situation on the court is as they say, the balance of power can not last, it will soon be broken by the sudden outburst of a certain player, and the current Lakers are still at a disadvantage, and it is impossible to play tacit ball with the Pistons.
Sure enough, Kobe Bryant was doing his best to play his scoring talents, whether it was a three-point step-back jumper facing the defense, or a pull-up jump shot after breaking through Osborne, or a coquettish pass that rushed inside to assist O'Neal, the Lakers overtook the Pistons in a short period of time, and the Pistons' team basketball was a little out of order.
Then Osborne also used his individual scoring ability to pull the score into some of the points many times, but the Lakers players' offense also began to recover, and the Lakers were like a team basketball team for a while, while the Pistons were more like a superstar basketball team.
So the Lakers seized the opportunity to quickly extend the lead, rewriting the score to 39:33 in one fell swoop, and the Pistons' performance in the second quarter was a little unkempt, decent, and there were no obvious defeats, but there was nothing remarkable about it.
The Lakers still held the lead after halftime, while the Pistons trailed the Lakers 44-49.
The Lakers were originally a lot behind the Pistons, but with Kobe Bryant's play, Gary Payton's defense, and O'Neal's stable play inside, the Lakers' lead was established in one fell swoop.
After the Pistons players got off the court, Coach Larry Brown didn't say anything, after all, Osborne didn't take the lead on the court, and let the Lakers overtake, although it was not Osborne's fault alone, but as the future leader of the team, such a performance was difficult to convince.
Osborne also took the initiative to admit his mistakes after he got off the court, and Larry Brown did not delve into it, but just warned him: If you want to get honor, it is not so easy to win the championship, first of all, you have to do that the game time is not over, the game is not over, unless the score gap is too big to make up, except for such a result, there is nothing that cannot be insisted on, as long as you persist until the opponent makes a mistake or your own hand is recovered, the tacit understanding of technology and tactics is back, and the score will soon be reversed.
Osborne heard Larry Brown's admonition and felt that it made sense, as long as he persisted, there would always be a chance to turn the tables around.
In the third quarter of the game, Osborne was rested, and Tysha Princes replaced him in the third quarter of the game, and the Pistons began to fight fiercely with the Lakers again, and the Pistons defenders were fierce, and it was impossible for the Lakers players to score easily.
Kobe Bryant was also humiliated many times, either being cut off, or shooting iron, breaking through and being directly knocked down by Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace, anyway, you don't want to score so easily.
In order to prevent Kobe Bryant from getting injured, Phil Jackson directly replaced Kobe Bryant and sent a defensive player to fight the Pistons players on the court. (To be continued.) )
