The reason why a kill move is a kill move is because it is only suitable for use at critical moments.

Although Kobe Bryant played without the ball in the first three quarters, he spent a lot of physical energy because he ran a marathon with Hamilton on the court.

In the fourth quarter, the Zen master finally reused Kobe Bryant and let Kobe play with the ball.

Of course, before Kobe Bryant held the ball, the Zen master first asked Doon to take advantage of the fact that he had just finished resting and his physical strength was not bad, and shot a few three-pointers to attract the Pistons' defense.

Doon lived up to Zen's expectations, hitting two three-pointers in the fourth quarter, forcing the Pistons to stretch the defensive space wider.

When Doon held the ball and crossed with Kobe Bryant to cover, the Pistons did pay more attention to Doon's shooting restrictions, after all, three-pointers are one more point than two points.

In addition, the Pistons focus on the protection of the interior, and Kobe Bryant will be pinched in the mid-range shot.

Therefore, as long as the defense outside the three-point line is supplemented, the Pistons' defense can continue to put pressure on the Lakers in all aspects.

However, Bryant's ability to handle the ball also clearly exceeded the Pistons' defensive limitations.

After receiving Doon's pass, Kobe Bryant took an extra step out with the help of Big Ben, and when his foothold was unstable, he first accelerated past Big Ben on the left side, and then slipped down the basket to attack the basket.

Roaring Tianzun and Prince hurriedly wrapped up, and just when everyone thought that Kobe was going to make a stop-and-go jump shot, Kobe suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball to O'Neal.

Big Ben retracted to the basket, and Billups came to help defend it, but after receiving the ball, O'Neal still took a bully step and turned around for a violent dunk.

As long as Kobe Bryant is willing to burst inside under the basket and O'Neal can be activated by Kobe, then the Lakers cannot be beaten.

Doon's three-pointer and playmaking, Bryant's ball-handling breakaway, mid-range, low-post offense and inside pass, O'Neal's basket finish.

The Lakers' three main players perfectly covered all the offensive areas on the court, and the organizational ability of Doon and Kobe Bryant could ensure that O'Neal could receive the ball in a relatively comfortable position.

In the face of O'Neal's low-post singles, Ducco blocked and dismantled at the same time, and Larry Brown had no good way in a short period of time, but to urge the Pistons players on the court to show a tougher defensive attitude.

Whether the defense is good or not, it mainly depends on the attitude.

The Pistons' five tigers are basically physical monsters, and they all reached the finals, so they are naturally unwilling to lose to the Lakers like this.

Under Larry Brown's tutelage, they have honed the hybrid defense system to the point where it is instinctive.

After betting more physical strength and concentration, the Pistons' defensive intensity actually increased by a few points.

Of course, the current Pistons are no longer the original Pistons bad boy army.

Today's Pistons' defense is different from the Spurs, who are also known for their defense.

The Pistons are iron-blooded and tough enough, and although they have small moves, they are not particularly dirty, and they will not strengthen the defense for the purpose of scrapping people.

The Pistons' iron-blooded defense has strengthened physical contact and increased physical confrontation against ball carriers.

One thing to say, the Pistons have a lot of defensive moves, and if it were a regular season, it might have already blown the whistle.

However, when it comes to the playoffs, these actions are tacitly sanctioned by the league!

The league's top brass also knows that offensive basketball can increase viewership during the regular season, but fans still like to watch more intense confrontation in the playoffs.

That's why the NFL dominates North America, where gunfights are a daily affair with a violent element.

Of course, blindly strengthening confrontation and strengthening defense will lead to the phenomenon of difficulty in scoring on the field, which will also affect the enjoyment of the game.

The essence of sports competition is to watch "superman", to see higher, faster and stronger athletes, and to kill all sides on the field.

If the players on the field are all on the back, even if the back is picturesque, it will make the fans feel that they are rookies pecking each other, and there is nothing to see.

Only under high-intensity defense, can you ignore the defense and score the ball strongly!

With high-intensity defense, it is clear to distinguish supergiants, superstars, All-Stars, average starters, and rotation players, but simply with the help of data.

Fans will truly recognize and admire the stars who have stood out in the playoffs.

Even the stars who kill on TV are not their home team players, and even beat their home team in the playoffs.

After all, the fans have witnessed one great victory after another, and they know very well what a real ring is and what a deserved championship is.

Having said that, the Pistons sharply tightened up their defense, making Kobe Bryant realize that in order to win, it was better to pass the ball to O'Neal.

Kobe Bryant didn't bother, just like Doon didn't bother passing the ball to Bryant.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to compete for FMVP. But if you want to win the FMVP, you still have to win the game first.

The Lakers are the No. 1 team in the West, and the loss of the Super Team to the Civilians will seriously reduce the historical status and personal value of the OK combination.

Besides, the two leading stars of Nike in the Lakers, Nike, have come forward and settled the contradictions between Doon and Kobe Bryant in advance, as well as the conflict of interests.

In short, the meat must rot in the pan!

It was for this reason that Bryant did not step up and take over the game until O'Neal encountered the shark cutting tactic in advance.

Kobe Bryant made four shots in a row, although he was caught by the Pistons each time, but he still relied on his personal strength and hit two mid-range shots to help the Lakers stabilize the situation.

With more than four minutes left in the game, the score was 74-81, a full seven-point gap, which forced the Pistons to call a timeout and adjust the Pistons' offensive tactics.

After all, the pace of tonight's game was too slow, and the Pistons' offensive efficiency was really not high.

The difference of 7 points does not seem like much, but in fact, even if the Lakers don't score a point next, the Pistons may not be able to win tonight.

"Shaq, hold on a little longer, and you'll be able to go home and sleep soon!"

On the Lakers' side, although the Zen master knew that continuing to send O'Neal on the court, there was a risk of slashing shark tactics.

However, the Zen master decided to keep O'Neill on the field.

On the one hand, the Lakers need O'Neal's rim protection and the protection of rebounding.

On the other hand, in the Zen master's view, as long as O'Neal can shoot 40% of free throws, the Pistons will lose tonight's game because of their lack of stronger offensive power.

With the Lakers' all-out defense, the overall offensive efficiency of the Pistons is just over 4%.

"Phil, I can play off the ball, I can go and defend Billups."

In order to ensure a victory tonight, Doon decided to sacrifice himself a little.

In this game, Doon has made 8 of 17 shots, 6 of 13 three-point shots, and 1 of 2 free throws, and has 23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal.

Whether it's scoring or playmaking, Doon has shown that he is perfect enough.

is also because the pace of the game is relatively slow and the defensive intensity is relatively large, the Lakers' Doon has 17 shots, which is second only to Kobe's 20 shots.

For the next 4 minutes or so, Doon didn't have to scramble with Kobe and O'Neal.

As long as Doon can limit Billups from scoring, and Kobe can defend Hamilton again, the Lakers will have a good chance to win as long as they take a random two or three points.

The Zen master understood what Doon meant, so he immediately made another adjustment: "Then let Doon play the number one position!"

Keep the pace of the game as low as possible, focus on ball protection, and everyone should strengthen the protection of rebounds!

By the way, Devon, you play the number three position!

If another teammate passes the ball to you, you can shoot it immediately, don't hesitate, we're sure you can. ”

Zen masters like to reuse small people at critical moments, but because of the main force, Doon and Kobe's stamina have been almost consumed.

This is naturally not guaranteed for shooting at critical moments.

Devin George, on the other hand, as a substitute small forward, only got seven minutes of playing time tonight.

Although the hands are not very hot, they are still very secure in terms of physical strength.

Usually Devin George has a good three-point shot, and when Doon and Kobe attract the defense and pass the ball to Devin George, they can basically create an open three-point opportunity for him.

To put it bluntly, as long as Devin George can score a three-pointer, the Lakers will be stable.

However, tonight, the Lakers didn't need Devin George as a small man to save the world.

After restarting, the Pistons did not immediately cut the sharks, so Bryant carried the explosives bag without saying a word, held the ball to make kills, and made two free throws to help the Lakers expand their lead.

And after Doon defended Billups, the Pistons' Princeton system didn't play so smoothly.

In the end, he could only rely on the singles of Hamilton and Roaring Tianzun to complete the finish.

Roaring Tianzun relied on his proud stunt - straight-arm jumper, two shots and two hits, returned to the top, and played one of the four big forwards of the first generation.

However, Kobe's iron lock also held Hamilton down.

The Pistons tried to cut the shark to chase the ball, and O'Neal made 2 of 6 free throws to pull his hips.

However, relying on Hamilton's two consecutive misses, the Lakers still held on to the home win of the Finals G1.

With two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score on the court came to 78-85, still a seven-point gap.

The Pistons were trying to recover the ball by slashing the sharks, so the Lakers withdrew O'Neal first.

Stanislav Medvedenko didn't become a defensive hole after he came on the court, because Big Ben couldn't make free throws, and the Lakers instead used the abundant foul numbers of the bench center to cut Big Ben in turn.

With Big Ben hitting 1 of 2 free throws to help the Pistons recover 1 point, the Lakers forcibly consumed time when they got the ball, and there were only 2 seconds left for Kobe Bryant to take the pot and make a strong shot.

Kobe Bryant really failed to throw the ball in, but the long rebound that bounced out returned to its original owner and fell into Kobe's hands.

It can be said that it was this rebounding that completely killed the game.

Next, the Lakers continued to drag out time, cut a big book, and consumed game time until the last second.

Larry Brown was also more nervous, and waited for the game to officially end before he removed all the main players, unlike O'Neal who left work 2 minutes early to rest.

But so what? 80-85, the Lakers won the finals G1 with a 5-point advantage!

And Kobe, who scored only 21 points on 23 shots in the game, also relied on years of experience in iron to successfully defeat Hamilton and kill the game with a self-throwing rebound!
