Seeing the shortcomings of the Lakers' single core, the Pistons worked together to contain the Sharks.

Even if O'Neal is a genius, he is not in his peak two years ago, and the knee injury prevents him from being as reckless on the inside as he was in previous years. Today, there is still no one who can defend O'Neal in the one-on-one alliance, but there is someone who can contain him.

Mirisic and Rashid were also fast-paced, one around the front and the other behind, and a Waben was eyeing the penalty area at any time, O'Neill suffered a lot, shouting 'vacancy, running out of vacancy', or shouting, "Pick me up, come and me up".

After the first quarter, the Pistons took a double-digit lead at 28-17, which is extremely rare in the Finals, and the Lakers were out of rhythm.

In the second quarter, O'Neal could only sit on the bench with a gloomy face, and Kobe Bryant, who had been quiet for a quarter, came off the bench. He was followed by Marlon, Peyton, George, and Fox.

Brown also made another substitution, with Prince, who had played well in the previous game, being replaced, and interior center Campbell also being replaced. Campbell was seven feet tall and weighed more than three hundred pounds, and when he was younger, he was also a good hand at using his body, but as he got older, his role was greatly reduced.

Big heavy-tonnage players have this disadvantage, and when they are old, or if they have a little physical problem, then they are all over the calf. Even if a pervert is like O'Neal, he has only two seasons left in his glory, and from '07 onwards, he will be in the company of old age and injuries, and his dominance will not be left in ten. As for Yao Ming, whose physique is far inferior to O'Neill, he was scrapped directly.

Campbell didn't play much in the playoffs, and the growth of Mirisic and Oku made the Pistons overcrowded inside, and Brown sent Campbell on the court at this time, probably not for impromptu strength, but to warm him up and prepare to fight the Sharks exclusively.

Kobe Bryant came on the court, his No. 8 jersey was shining, his handsome face was expressionless, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart.

Prince followed, Payton carried the ball to the frontcourt three-point line with Pattin, Kobe Bryant was not in a good position, he passed the ball to George, George passed to Malone, Malone was almost stealed-Wauben personally marked him, went up and flew the ball to the racket.

Fortunately, Malone has experience, and as soon as he felt wrong, he shot the ball out, Kobe jumped in, and while holding the ball, he rushed inside along Malone's body. Prince followed closely, but Malone leaned sideways and blocked him, so it became a misplaced defense, and Huaben stepped back to chase Kobe.

Bryant's left shoulder was against Warburn's sturdy lower abdomen, and his body leaned slightly and crossed flexibly, without slowing down at all. Hua Ben opened one hand and held Kobe's back with one hand, and stepped back faster and faster.

The two were entangled and rushed into the penalty area, Kobe Bryant, who had been rushing fast, suddenly hit Hua Ben's chest with his left shoulder, let go of the ball with his right hand, and his lean body rotated clockwise, and his left hand pressed down to catch the ball and slapped it on the floor, quickly retracting his right leg, his body stagnated slightly, and jumped backwards.

"Huh", the basketball poured into the frame, Hua Ben happened to be thrown under the basket by his habitual surname, and the basketball fell not far from him.

In the face of Payton, who was already slow, Partin played his breakthrough skills, the British are fast enough, but the explosiveness is not as good as the blacks, so sometimes the first step cannot get rid of the defender, and the follow-up work is not easy to carry out. But dealing with Payton doesn't need to be thought about so much.

Taking a big step out, Payton moved sideways to chase the defense, Patin handed the ball to his right hand with his left hand, his left leg moved to the right front, and his body moved sideways for half a step, successfully passing Payton. Inside Fox was stuck by Campbell, and Patin grabbed the ball and gently stretched out his arm to send the ball steadily into the hoop.

Peyton shook his head and said stupidly, "When I was young, such a ball would definitely eat my big hat, damn it." ”

Malone served the ball to him and said with a smile: "Although we are no longer young, we have more ways, we will give me the ball later, and I will teach that little villain a lesson." ”

Peyton grinned and took the ball and instructed his teammates to settle down: "Don't block and dismantle, hey, No. 3, don't have space at No. 3!" Man, what are you doing standing in the Horn District? It's not our territory, pull up, cover Carl, quick, cover him"

Malone ran out on a reverse lap inside, and Payton passed the ball to him and ran to the bottom corner with Pattin, where he was in the best spot to shoot from the three-point line.

Warburn chased Malone closely, Kobe Bryant came out from the left wing and pushed Prince to ask for the ball, so frightened that Warben quickly turned around to cut off the connection between Malone and Kobe.

Malone grabbed the ball with both hands and stretched forward, and as soon as Hua Ben moved, he pulled it back and ran quickly to the basket with the ball. Hua Ben had no choice but to let go of Kobe Bryant in front of him, and Mr. Postman leaned on Hua Ben and rushed forward two steps, put away the ball, crouched down and bounced quickly, and was about to shoot against him.

"!" Hua Ben scolded and jumped up, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Ma Long's mouth, accepted the ball raised, and only then jumped up against his arm.

Hua Ben was frightened by Ma Long's movements, raised his hand high and leaned back, and shouted in his mouth: "I have no movement in my hands!" ”

Although Wabbon shouted quickly enough, it did not prevent the referee from making the correct decision: "Toot, block the foul!" ”

Malone proudly stepped onto the free throw line, hit two free throws and two free throws, and by the way, earned a foul on Hua himself.

The score changed to 21:30, and although the margin was still quite large, the Lakers got off to a good start.

It was not so easy for Padding to break through again, Payton couldn't keep up with him in the first step, but he would use his experience and physical condition, and Padding did not shake off two consecutive changes of direction, so he could only helplessly pass the ball to Huaben's hands.

Hua Ben took the ball, Malone came up to press him, and his strong upper body was close to Hua Ben's back.

For Ma Long's defense, Hua Ben is dismissive, his dream footsteps are used to deal with O'Neal, to deal with Ma Long, he has his own means, in fact, this method is still learned from the shark, that is, strong back hits!

"Bang bang!" Huaben hit three times in a row, Malone was embarrassed to the side, Fox came up to make up for the defense, Huaben put away the ball and handed it forward, Fox's body was pulled up directly, at this time Huaben turned around, leaned on Fox's hook hand to make a layup, and once again expanded the score to double digits.

Kobe Bryant attacked the basket and deceived Campbell to make up for the foul, and taking advantage of the free throw, the Zen master replaced Payton with Fisher, who had a better personal relationship with Kobe.

Seeing this scene, Hua Ben knew in his heart that the attitude of the Zen master was very clear, that is, the position of Kobe Bryant.

Bryant made a free throw, hitting both free throws.

The Pistons attacked, Padin sideways to protect the ball, raised his hand and said loudly: "Darko, come up and cover me, captain, go inside, Tyshawn, run a little farther with No. 8 OK, that's it, guys, captain, watch my ball"

With this in his mouth, Patin put away the ball and passed it inside, Fisher jumped up and prepared to interfere, but as soon as he jumped, Patin also jumped, and the action was almost exactly the same as that of Marlon before, and he hit Fisher's body.

Since he blew the Waben blocking foul, the referee naturally couldn't ignore Patin's copy ball, and the Lakers fans made Patin's teeth itch, this is a three-pointer.

To the comfort of Lakers fans, Padding felt a little cold, hitting only one of his three free throws, and the Sharks on the bench were all smiling.

"Damn, I didn't feel it today." Patin shook his hand and scolded.

Mirisic looked at him and said, "What did you touch with this hand last night?" It stinks so much today. ”

Patin grinned and raised a middle finger at him.

The third free throw missed, and Malone took the rebound and passed it to Fisher.

Fisher got the ball as if Kobe Bryant got the ball, and Prince motioned for his teammates to get out of the way, carefully following Kobe's side, his eyes fixed on the ball that was slowly slapping in his hand.

Hua Ben responded to Prince on the inside, stuck in Malone's body and yelled: "People who are optimistic about themselves, don't let them mention it to help Kobe, let Tyshawn solve him by himself." Hey, man, don't worry, I'm still on the inside. ”

Kobe Bryant glanced at Warben disdainfully, with a dangerous smile on his face, and said slowly: "Rookie, it seems that your teammates have high expectations for you, but when they find that those expectations will be disappointed, will they feel your ass (this sentence is very common in the NBA, everyone may feel awkward, in fact, this translation is literal, the subtext of this sentence is, it will kill you)? ”

Prince looked at Kobe Bryant's shoulder and said nonchalantly: "We are like brothers, different from you, maybe you miss the ball Shaq will kill you, but I won't"

The little prince was halfway through this, and he was okay to stir up the atmosphere in the Lakers' locker room, but at this moment, Kobe Bryant suddenly took a step forward. Prince knew that this was Kobe Bryant testing his reaction, trying to stabilize his body and not move, but he had lost too much to eat Kobe's breakthrough before, this guy has the fastest first step in the league, and once he loses his position, it will be difficult to catch it back.

Prince subconsciously retreated, as soon as he moved, Kobe Bryant jumped up outside the three-point line, his right arm was bent at a ninety-degree angle, his left hand held the ball, his wrist trembled, and the basketball spun at high speed and flew out.

In the palace of Auburn Hills, the fans booed ferociously, which was useless, the ball still fell into the hoop accurately, the three-point was effective, and at 26:31, the Pistons' lead became precarious.

In fact, under the hands of Kobe, AI, and Maddy who are attacking weapons, the difference between ten points is not a gap at all.

"This kid's talent is really terrifying, and it can really be said that the sky is his limit." Barkley looked at the replay and said, the big screen replayed Kobe's three-point jumper, he was not ready before the shot, and when he saw Prince retreating, he jumped up directly, so that he could hit three points, and he couldn't help but sigh for Kobe's talent.

The Pistons counterattacked with a long pass, Mirisic rushed to the basket, received a pass from Patin and made a very real feint, deceived Fox, turned and cut to the basket, and scored a backhand layup.

The game got interesting.
