Taking advantage of the pause, Barkley flipped through the materials of the two teams and said: "Before the game, I thought that Detroit would use their defense to press the Angelenos and make them lose their rhythm, and use this tactics to find a chance to win. It seems that I was wrong, the Detroiters are really bloody, they are fighting with Los Angeles, wow, this is unbelievable! But it's even better, Stern's old guy is happy, everyone loves to attack except for the championship! ”

"Detroit has never lacked attacking talent." "Our defense is certainly the best in the league, but the offense isn't bad, it's just that you've been misled by our Detroit worker spirit," said Ranbir proudly. ”

"Can you die if you don't brag?" Barkley rolled his oily eyelids and said disdainfully, "Bill, I admit that your defense is not bad, as for the attack, I can only say hehe"

The Pistons caught the Lakers off guard in this game, according to the Zen master's estimate, the Pistons should use strong joint defense or pressing to target his players, compress the Lakers' attack space, make attackers such as Kobe Bryant feel uncomfortable, and then control the game.

To this end, the Zen master deliberately studied two sets of tactics to deal with it, including the use of sending veterans on the court to provoke the Pistons with small gestures, in an attempt to disrupt Detroit's deployment. Who knows that he guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end, Detroit's defense is indeed iron-blooded, but the attack is sharper.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons successfully pulled the score to 35:25, leading by 10 points. This is something that has not happened to the Lakers in the entire playoffs so far, and this is the first time that the score difference or the number of points conceded. The first quarter allowed the opponent to score 30+, which has not happened since O'Neal came to the Lakers.

For this reason, at the beginning of the second quarter, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal were sent on the court together.

"Ben, are you ready to meet my wrath? Swear to God, I'll kill you! O'Neill bared his teeth and threatened.

Hua Ben ignored it and said impatiently: "Hurry up and serve, it's really procrastinating, you guys are going to lose anyway." ”

Payton is back on the court, F4 has to at least chase the score back to rest, and the Lakers' bench depth is really not enough, especially against Detroit.

O'Neal asked for the ball in the penalty area, and he dragged the NBA's No. 1 big man to rumble like an armored car and crush the inside. In the face of an angry shark, even if it is as strong as Huaben, there is no good means.

"Hold on, Ben, hold on!" Rashid shouted from the bench with swollen walnut eyes, "Give that bastard a blow, don't make this fat fat man feel better!" ”

O'Neal arrived at the familiar penalty area and turned to hook his hand, but Waeben hesitated for a moment without a jump block, which he estimated was a shark feint.

Maybe the shark was going to make a feint, but Hua Ben was unmoved, so he turned the feint into a real move, raised his long arms straight, shook his wrist stiffly, threw the ball, and smashed the ball into the hoop with hard force.

"Roar! Uncle Shaq can do anything! O'Neill patted his chest and roared, hooking hands was not within his reach, God forbid if he succeeded this time.

Billups got the ball and raced forward, shook off Payton with sheer speed, rushed to the front court and threw the ball to Mirisic just outside the three-point line on the right wing.

Mirisic got the ball, Kobe rushed up to make up for it, and the Rookie smiled slyly and sent the ball to Prince. Payton, who caught up, scrambled to flank Prince with Rush, only for the little prince to pass the ball as well: Hamilton was open in the bottom corner.

At 38:27, the Maskman's three-point shot cheered Pistons fans rejoice.

The Lakers attacked, O'Neal opened his hand again to ask for the ball, this time Huaben was no longer passive defense, but sideways around the shark's side, this position can be attacked, retreated and defended, which can not only make the shark not comfortable receiving the ball, but also can withdraw in time to resist him after he receives the ball.

O'Neal stretched his arms wide, still about to get the ball, Huaben hurriedly retreated, but the shark did not play by himself, but passed out of the penalty area.

Kobe Bryant got the ball, Malone quickly raised the high position, Kobe Bryant threw off his foot and ran inside, Prince chased closely, but was blocked by Malone: he had to thank Crawford for his body hair foul policy, and generally speaking, Malone would also give the opponent a small gift when blocking and dismantling, such as a big elbow and the like.

It is conceivable that if Prince were elbowed by Malone, the little prince would directly become a little fool: the concussion was light.

Throwing off Prince, Kobe Bryant faced Mirisic, his thin body swung violently like a willow in the wind twice, Milicic was dumbfounded, and when he reacted, Kobe Bryant had already jumped and shot.

"Shit!" Mirisic scolded when he saw the ball fall into the hoop.

Huaben smiled at Kobe Bryant: "Why didn't you say 'Carl, you get out of here, there's nothing to do with you here, I'm going to go head-to-head'?" ”

In the 1998 All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant broke the record of a Magic and became the youngest Mr. All-Star. When he was on the court, Jordan was also on the court, and after Kobe Bryant got the ball, Jordan came up with a smile to defend the teenager who was called his successor.

The defense of Joe's gang leader is known to everyone on earth, and if the movie counts, then the Martians know it. There may be someone on guard who can compare to him, but it must not be the immature Kobe Bryant at that time. Ma Long, who has been fighting with Joe's gang leader for nearly 20 years, is especially aware of this, out of love for the newcomer, he took the initiative to put down his identity to help Kobe Bryant block and dismantle, but Peter Pan came with a sentence: "Put away your damn block, I'm going to fight Michael alone".

Having said that, you can say that Kobe Bryant doesn't know what to do, but you can't say that he is stubborn, Peter Pan cut 18 points and 6 rebounds in that game, and it was the Joe gang leader who was staring at him, of course, it was the Joe gang leader who didn't get serious.

The Pistons' players on the court apparently knew about it, and they giggled, and Billups was still pointing, muttering something that was certainly not a good thing.

Kobe Bryant looked at Hua Ben contemptuously, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "Ben, I always thought you were one of the few people in the league who could be my opponent, and it turns out that you are also a fool!" ”

The smiling Huaben's expression froze, and he felt that he was being scorned, because he clearly saw that Kobe's bastard was looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

"I'm going to beat him!" Waburn swore that Billups and Prince were holding him up, and they said "don't be like a fool", but secretly they were pushing Wabeben, and Billups couldn't wait to start fighting directly, so that the whole league could know Wabeon's fighting skills.

The Pistons played with ease, and although the Lakers were good on offense in the second quarter, the rhythm was still in the hands of the Pistons.

Billups pressed Payton to pass to Warben, and O'Neal followed with a big, thick black brow.

O'Neill walked forward, Wabbon turned around smoothly, and the shark left the penalty area with a false shot, and stepped out with his slender and powerful legs crossed, leaving the shark behind him in two steps, and rushed into the inside line to make a powerful one-handed split.

"It's that easy to score." Wajben shook his index finger and smiled, at this time, the league had not sanctioned Mutombo for shaking his index finger, and the referee could only watch Wabeen tease the Lakers players like this.

The situation has not changed, with an angry O'Neal, the Lakers' offensive firepower has indeed increased greatly, but the defense is not ideal. What made the Lakers desperate the most was that Huaben and Mirisic both got their hands on fantasy dance moves, which was fatal to O'Neal!

O'Neal is huge, and while there have been criticisms of his poor defense, it will be much harder for opponents to score in the low post as long as he steps inside. The shark is strong, strong, and fast enough, and it is simply the flesh wall of the Lakers.

It's just that the Sharks' defense is not invulnerable, this season's Garnett, 95 Olajuwon, have taught him a hard lesson, to sum up, O'Neal's headache defense object is the kind of player who can pull high shots and have flexible feet.

Today's Waben and Mirisic are such people.

Mirisic is okay, he has Ma Long's restrictions, although Ma Long is old, but this guy has been fighting with Olajuwon, Mourning, these aces inside the line, Mirisic is too young, and his physical function has not yet reached its peak, so the two can play a balance together.

Huaben is different, he is directly opposite O'Neal, if Huaben wants to be pulled to a high position, then the shark has to be raised, it is useless to change the defense, Huaben's perverted power can only be withstood by O'Neill. But if O'Neill pulls out, then Waeben will immediately cut into the penalty area with nimble feet and tease him again when he has the ball in his hand.

Compared with the first quarter in the second quarter, that is, there are fewer small actions on both sides, less physical contact, and the mouth is honest, and the rhythm of the game is about the same.

The Purple and Gold team in the regular season once disappointed fans, gathered F4 to form a golden team, but did not play a historical record, and was even thrown out of the top four in the West for a time. Before this season, O'Neal boasted that 'in the face of the poison army they formed (the name combination of the four stars happens to be the word poison, there is no F4 in the United States, and the current Lakers nickname is poison), the opponent can only obediently drink the poison', and the fans were stunned to find that it was not the opponent who drank the poison, but the Purple and Gold themselves.

However, everything changed in the playoffs, starting from the first round of the playoffs, Kobe and O'Neal no longer competed for the boss, Payton did not complain that he had fewer opportunities to shoot, Malone's injuries disappeared, and F4 swept the Western powerhouses and entered the finals in one fell swoop.

Based on the Lakers' performance in the playoffs, Lakers fans are entitled to think they can win a championship, especially after learning that the Eastern Conference champion is the Pistons.

Although Huaben has done his best to improve the Pistons' fighting style, Detroit's image of fans as a 'defensive tough guy' has become ingrained, and no one believes that the grassroots Pistons can beat the brilliant Kings of the Lakers. Before the Finals, TNT conducted a national survey, and 65% of fans watching the NBA just wanted to watch the Lakers' noble and stunning offensive methods.
