Doon realized that his physical strength might not be enough tonight, so when he played with the ball in the first three quarters, he was more likely to pass the ball out and organize the team's offense.

However, the Pistons don't know if Doon is well rested.

What is clear to the Pistons is that Doon made 6 three-pointers in the last game, shooting over 40%!

Doon's three-point ability in the previous playoffs was enough to make all teams in the league fearful.

And the defense of three points happens to be the weakest link in the Pistons' mixed defense system.

In order to prevent Doane from shooting outside the three-point line and scoring efficiently, the Pistons had to be attracted to the defense by Doane's fake shots, real passes, and fake shots.

Doon also happened to hit the right shot, disrupting the Pistons' pre-game defensive setup.

After more than three minutes in the first quarter, the Lakers actually opened up the difference at once under the tandem of Doon.

Larry Brown looked at the 4-9 scorer on the sidelines and had to call a timeout to adjust his defensive strategy.

"Ben, I know you can go from the number one position to the number five position, you can do better!

So, next Doon only needs to play the block and dismantle, and it's up to you to defend!

Others are optimistic about their players, pay attention to protect the basket!

Do the right thing and we will be able to win the game! ”

After Larry Brown made defensive adjustments, he also did not scold for the first time, but chose to cheer for the Pistons players.

In the past, Larry Brown must have scolded directly!

can't stop Doon's three-point on the court, this can't prevent Doon's pass, what's the use of these waste?

However, Larry Brown also knows that the Lakers' roster is much stronger than that of the Pistons, whose five starters have taken his defensive system to the extreme.

The Pistons want to win when they are not strong, and Larry Brown can only hope that the players who come on the court can step up in time and create miracles.

The timeout ended and the game resumed.

The Pistons tweaked their defense a little, but they didn't change their offensive strategy.

After Fisher finished G1, under the guidance of Lakers assistant coach Tex Winter, the defense against Billups was changed from frontal defense to side defense.

It's a bit like Rubio defending Harden, mainly defending Billups from covering the left side.

Although Billups is not like Harden, who frequently steps back.

But if Billups really makes a single three-pointer, the Pistons will undoubtedly lose their offensive efficiency without Billups' organization.

Billups wasn't a solid point guard in the first place, and even under Larry Brown's tutelage, the three-point shooting problem would flare up from time to time.

Now that Fisher has given up space to shoot, Billups naturally won't be afraid to shoot.

On the contrary, if you follow Fisher's defensive strategy and break through on the right or in the middle, you will be caught by Doon's pinch and surrounded by a group of people who are pressed by black under the basket.

In the first 3 minutes, Billups tried hard to connect the team, but his teammates' performance was decent, similar to the last game, and the shooting rate was more than 40%.

Now that the opportunity to score points is in front of him, Billups has decided to take it himself!

Brush –

Billups made a three-point shot, and although Fisher jumped to block, he didn't want to foul sideways, if he could block Billups' shot?

Doon also helped defend and flew forward to interfere with Billups' shot.

But the end result was to no avail.

Billups took advantage of a half-open shot to successfully single Fisher and recover three points for the Pistons.

However, it didn't take long for Doon to pass the top hand to cover the three points, and first took the ball to dangle and fly to the big book.

Originally, Doon wanted to fake the real story, but found that no one else had caught it.

So Doon took a step away and then dribbled to adjust his touch, and then tiptoed to shoot a three-point shot.

Brush –

"Response ball from Doon! Doon is dominating the game his way tonight! ”

Bill McDonald, the Lakers' home commentator, immediately shouted excitedly when he saw Doon shoot a three-pointer and successfully respond to Billups.

Stu Lantz on the side also admired: "I seem to see Doon playing on the pitch wearing the number 32 and 44 jerseys. ”

Doon's draft template is Reggie Miller, yes, when it comes to Doon, most people think of Reggie Miller.

But the organizational skills that Doon is now on display will undoubtedly be reminiscent of Magic Johnson.

And because Doon was hand-selected by the logo man, with Doon's excellent shooting ability at the moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the successor of the logo man.

Who called this the Staples Center, and who called Doon a Lakers player?

In the next period of time, the Pistons and Lakers tacitly let Billups and Doane fire alternately, depending on who loses first.

Of course, it's all finals, so there's no one who doesn't defend seriously, right?

Fisher finally made the start, naturally he would not lose his strength, and with the help of constantly playing physical confrontation against Billups, Fisher finally met the dead mouse.

Although there was an empty seat in front of Billups, under the influence of Fisher, he still failed to continue his hand.

O'Neal defended the rebound and passed the ball to Doon on the perimeter.

Doon tried to play a transition offense after receiving the ball, and the Pistons' defensive speed and discipline made it impossible for Doon to help the Lakers score with a simple ball.

However, it's still those few moves, blocking and dismantling, small and big, and shooting with cover.

Du En simply deciminated his physical strength and got back the points he could get back first.

Originally, he also had the idea of getting FMVP, and he had the opportunity to brush up points, and Doon naturally couldn't miss it.

Brush –

Again, Doon took 3 assists in front of him to help the Lakers open up a 5-point gap, and this time he scored two three-pointers in a row to help the Lakers open up a 3-point gap.

"Why is Doon so hard to prevent? Bendu has already been put in his face! ”

Seeing the point difference go to double digits, Larry Brown on the sidelines was naturally impatient.

Daben is his confidant and favorite general, which cannot be scolded indiscriminately.

So Larry Brown turned to Billups and asked, "Chauncey, why don't you dare to hit it in?"

Stop shooting outside like a soft egg!

Use your back and hit me hard! ”

Hearing Larry Brown's roar, Billups stopped worrying about whether to continue to go toe-to-toe with Doane and continued to try to respond to Doon with a three-point shot.

Billups is good at playing high back, and the three-point shot is inconsistent in the playoffs, but the mid-range grasp is still very high.

Billups finally hit a half-volley with a back to help the Pistons recover two points.

Doon relied on the three-point threat of scoring two goals in a row, shook off Ben and broke through the basket, fed Malone a cake, and pulled the difference back to 8 points.

The Lakers also relied on Doon's increasingly experienced combination of ball-holding and sudden shooting and passing, and stabilized the score advantage step by step.

As Doon's coach, the Zen master also noticed that in the second half of the first quarter, Doon was doing organizational work, and he could shoot directly at some opportunities, but he didn't choose to attack.

Under normal circumstances, Doon feels so good, isn't it a pity not to vote?

Looking at this stance, the Zen master could only preemptively call a timeout to adjust the offensive tactics before Larry Brown guessed that Dhorn was inadequate.

So, with more than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Payton got playing time.

The Lakers switched to Payton as a dribbling guard to share the pressure of dribbling, and Kobe Bryant held the ball as a shaft, either attacking independently, or breaking through the interior to activate O'Neal.

Douane and Grant played without the ball to help the Lakers open up space.

Perhaps because Doon led by example in playing team basketball, Kobe, who also had ideas about FMVP, played more reasonably.

Who would have thought that Kobe Bryant actually had an extremely rare only 2 shots in the first quarter?

Although he only hit one of the goals, he got 2 assists by passing the ball to O'Neal!

At the same time, although O'Neal didn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Doon and Kobe Bryant's gourd, he was also full of joy about the situation.

After all, who wouldn't want to be a big winner in life?

"Doon and Kobe Bryant were both passing the ball to me, and Shaq scored 11 points in the first quarter!"

O'Neill smiled like a hook......
