4. Take away the victory from Los Angeles

Taking advantage of the encouragement brought by Warben's heavy dunk and big hat, the Pistons played a wave of 8:2** under the leadership of Billups and Hamilton in the next three minutes, and the score was pulled back to 41:44 in one fell swoop, and the Lakers' lead was suddenly reduced to 3 points.

Among them, in this wave of ** offense, Billups and Hamilton each hit a three-pointer, Campbell got an assist from Billups and hit a mid-range shot, and Huaben used super bounce to grab three rebounds, one of which was a frontcourt rebound that Prince missed.

The Lakers were a little dazed by the Pistons' attack, and under the command of Huaben, the Pistons' tactics made Jackson's face change greatly. Compared with the previous stubborn defense, now the Pistons are beginning to let go of the outside line and stick to the inside, Prince almost directly let go of Kobe Bryant and turned to pinch O'Neal, as long as the shark gets the ball, it is either a foul or interference, making him uncomfortable even if he catches the ball.

Payton had no choice but to shoot himself or pass the ball to Kobe. Kobe Bryant has been entangled in the Eagle County lawsuit, and he is holding his breath to let the outside world know his strength, so after getting the ball, he will hardly transfer and shoot directly, anyway, Prince's defense against him is not tight.

This can't be blamed for Kobe Bryant's hot head, since the Eagle County incident, first the companies he endorsed Nike and other companies have terminated his contract with him, and then the fans and reporters have criticized him, everything has made him feel broken. The most unbearable thing for him is that fans have always called him the second leader in Los Angeles when they mention him, and sadly after Malone and Payton moved to the Lakers this season, he can't even sit firmly in the second position.

For Kobe, he can not care about people's evaluation, but he must not bear to let his efforts and sacrifices go to waste, and his talent and ability have been on perfect display over the past three seasons, and these displays have proved that he is worthy of being the boss of a team.

How many of those who entered the NBA with him became team leaders? Not to mention the Philadelphia son Iverson, the supersonic king Ray Allen, and the New York boss Marbury, Nash, who was ranked below him, has become the undisputed boss of Phoenix, O'Neal Jr. is now the leading big brother in the Pacers, and Ben Wallace, who is competing with him and is unpopular in the draft, is now firmly seated as the captain of Detroit, but what about him? If it sounds good, it is the core of the outside line, and if it doesn't sound good, it is the team's younger brother! He is not willing to be just the number two man of the team!

Four shots and one hit, because he was in a hurry to show Kobe Bryant did not play his strength, but he was not worried, the past games and usual training made him understand that as long as he was given some time to find his rhythm, he could even get eighty points if no one guarded him.

Kobe Bryant's self-confidence doesn't come from being blind and not having enough defenders to keep an eye on him, he can indeed score 80 points, and at this time in another two years, in this place, he will prove his guesses with facts.

But it's not 2006 yet, and the current Kobe Bryant can't occupy the Lakers' unlimited shooting rights, and four consecutive shots made O'Neal a little dissatisfied, and he shouted at Kobe: "Brother, this is a game, not a training!" Don't you feel like you're wasting too many balls? ”

Kobe Bryant glanced at O'Neal coldly and didn't speak, is it only you who can waste the ball? Besides, I was looking for a touch and never wasted the ball.

The Pistons didn't care about the Lakers' situation, Billups quickly rushed to the front court with the ball, Hamilton ran out of the open space, and Billups immediately delivered the ball to him.

Without hesitation after receiving the ball, Hamilton turned to shoot, O'Neal came from the flank and interfered with his vision with his big hand, and the ball spun around the hoop and flew out with a 'boom'.

Ma Long, who had been waiting under the basket for a long time, roared and jumped up, and at the same time Hua Ben jumped up, using the strength of his strong upper limbs, Hua Ben pushed Ma Long hard, the five fingers of his right hand were angry, and the middle finger was the first to touch the ball. He didn't take the opportunity to catch the ball, Ma Long's big hand had already followed, his middle finger touched the ball, Hua Ben stabbed it hard, and bounced the ball out again.

After landing on the ground, he jumped again, and Hua Ben, who had no opponent, easily grabbed the rebound. Malone is old after all, the age of forty is a nightmare for any player, the years are merciless, and his second bounce and bounce speed are no longer when he was young.

Hua Ben didn't think much about getting the ball, he stabilized the ball on his waist with both hands, he gritted his teeth and arched Ma Long next to him with his shoulders, at this time O'Neill had already made up for it, and his huge body was close to Hua Ben from behind, just waiting for him to jump and give him a big hat.

Billups rushed in from the baseline to respond, the Warben Tigers roared, slammed their butts back, gathered all their strength to knock O'Neal away with their broad backs, held the ball behind their heads with both hands, and the rockets jumped vertically like skyrockets, relying on pure power to stuff the ball into the hoop.

Campbell and Billups took Wabben in their arms and shouted, "Farke, good job Ben, are you crazy today?" Keep going crazy like this! ”

Hua Ben hammered his chest hard, making a muffled sound like a drum, he glanced at Ma Long with a complicated face with pity, and said in a low voice: "Carl, you are old, the alliance is no longer your and Michael's, this is our time." ”

Ma Long rarely did not sneer at each other, he shook his head, picked up the ball and walked to the bottom line, and didn't say anything.

O'Neal didn't hear what Hua Ben said, but he could guess that it must not be a good word, so he stepped forward and patted Malone on the shoulder, and laughed confidently: "Fight back, Karl, let's play this ball back, we are the champions of this season, but if you want to accumulate strength and wait for the playoffs, it is not bad, and then you can compete with FMVP!" ”

Infected by O'Neal's optimism, Malone also laughed, they will definitely win the championship this season, he is convinced of this, and all NBA fans are convinced of this.

"You're going to make it to the finals, but the championship is going to be us." Hua Ben, who was about to turn around and leave, turned around and said seriously, "Shaq, Karl, we will win the championship, we are a real team." ”

Wajben's tactics began to work later in the period, as Prince focused his defense on O'Neal, who had just six ball-carrying chances and four shots in the remaining four minutes of the first half, and those four chances were blocked once by Waben and fouled three times.

Kobe Bryant, who got the gap, stubbornly chose to go all out, but he was too far away from the hoop, and although he hit a few good shots, those balls were not enough to guarantee the Lakers an overwhelming advantage. On the contrary, it was the Pistons who played an unimaginably beautiful offense, Huaben's ability to play the game and throw off Big Ben two streets, with him moving the ball inside, Campbell and Hamilton got a lot of good opportunities, and the score was 54:50 at halftime.

The second half was a repetition of the second half of the second quarter, with Bryant's unscrupulous shot angering O'Neal and Malone, and Jackson had no choice but to replace Bryant with Fisher Fisher.

Fisher is also a talented guy on the court, but he is still a few notches behind the talented Kobe, whether it is Billups or Hamilton, he can freeze him. In this way, although the Lakers opened the point of O'Neal, the offensive firepower on the outside has declined again, and it is impossible to win against the Pistons just by relying on O'Neal.

At 102:95, when the red light came on at the end of the game, the Pistons were boiling up and down, and they won a win on the Lakers' home court, the first time this season that a team had a win on the home court of the Big Four.

Hua Ben was also boiling, and the moment the red light of the game came on, that strange voice sounded in his head: "According to the statistics of the intelligence center, the host scored 9 points, 6 assists, 12 rebounds, 1 steal, and 4 blocks in this game with four of six shots and one of two free throws, and according to the principle of doubling the winning points, the points in this game are 162 points, and the total points are 1384 points." ”

After the game, Kobe Bryant walked into the player's tunnel without looking back, Hua Ben was going to chat with Kobe, and the memory in his mind told him that although these people were enemies on the court, they were good friends in life. After all, in a sense, they are colleagues.

Kobe Bryant walked out with a gloomy face, and Jackson shook his head, compared to O'Neal is a qualified leader. What can a regular season loss count? Aren't they still the number one team in the league?

O'Neal clapped his teammates one by one, joking that he didn't find his groove in this game, and assured that he would show his dominance in the next game to show his teammates. Malone and Payton gathered around him and listened to him say witty words, ignoring Kobe, and the atmosphere of the team was quite warm.

After a brief celebration with his teammates, Waben walked over and bumped his fist with O'Neal, who said sourly, "Congratulations, Ben, you monkeys stole a good piece of meat while the lion was napping, you are really fast, huh?" ”

Seeing O'Neill's frowning appearance, Hua Ben couldn't help laughing, he and Fisher, Malone and others bumped into each other, and laughed: "Are you ready, Mr. Shark?" Our monkeys are about to evolve into King Kong, and the next time we meet will not be just a matter of stealing a piece of meat. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Ma Long asked with interest, Hua Ben's performance in this game made him see the shadow of an old rival, iron-blooded offense, cold-blooded defense, and endless entanglement, who else could there be besides the big worm Rodman?

Hua Ben shrugged his shoulders, the smile on his face slowly put away, and said seriously: "In the next game, we will tear apart your team." ”

O'Neill laughed as soon as Hua Ben finished speaking, "Are you dreaming, Ben?" You should know that we are the ones who are qualified to say this, and as for you Detroit, let's talk about when you will get the first place in the East. ”

Malone and Payton are also laughing, both agreeing with the strength of the Pistons and equally believing that the Pistons don't have the strength to win a championship. These balls understand that the reason for the loss of this game is not that the Pistons defeated them, but that they beat themselves, and if there is no internal strife on the inside and outside, the Pistons will die a miserable death in this game.

"See you at All-Star Weekend, if you're lucky enough to attend." O'Neill patted Wajben on the shoulder and smiled smugly, then walked into the tunnel with his teammates.

Huaben also smiled at the backs of these people, the friendship must be more than 50%, Peyton's 'breakthrough projection', O'Neal's 'crazy dunk' are all master-level skills, as for Ma Long, it is even more terrifying, according to the intelligence center prompts, he has two god-level skills - 'blocking and demolition jumper' and 'shadowless elbow'.

Standing on the court, Hua Ben looked forward to it in his heart, if he obtained these skills in the future, it would be better for him to have a breakthrough projection, and for the small man to defend himself, he would come to a crazy dunk, and if he was not big or small, he would give him a shadowless elbow and let him lie aside to rest, how beautiful it felt.

Hua Ben was still fantasizing, and a coquettish and soft voice sounded behind him: "Hi, Ben, you still owe me an apology." ”
