O'Neal is undoubtedly the most offensive threat on the Lakers' side.

After the Pistons played the first quarter, they looked at O'Neal's stats at the break, 5 of 6 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, 11 points and 3 rebounds, and Larry Brown was directly furious.

was admitted to being shot to death by Doon and Kobe Bryant on the outside, and the star's difficult shots to score really can't be prevented.

The question is, why didn't O'Neill prevent it?

O'Neal didn't force the ball to play in singles! A lot of balls are obviously very simple to eat cakes!

Although it may not be possible to eat the same cake if it were someone else, the person who eats the cake is O'Neill, and the game is so relaxed and easy.

After Larry Brown burst into a rage and scolded, Big Ben and the Roaring Tianzun also had no light on their faces, indicating that no one could leak O'Neill next!

The second quarter of the game began quickly, and Doon, who was well-rested, started again.

Because Kobe and O'Neal were also on the court, Doon did not rush to attack, but handed the ball to Kobe Bryant first, focusing on playing without the ball to help the Lakers open up space.

Kobe Bryant only made 2 shots in the first quarter, and when he came up in the second quarter, he saw Doon take the initiative to hand over the ball, not only did he have no opinion, but he felt that Doon was very interesting.

"The first time I played in the Finals, I didn't have enough physical strength to meet a defense of the Pistons' level, right? You're not going to compete with me for the Finals MVP, are you? ”

Because Nike has already divided the Finals MVP into the internal competition of Kobe and Doon, Kobe needs Nike's help to eliminate the off-court impact.

Therefore, Kobe Bryant naturally regarded Doon's current actions as taking the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, and chose to assist him in winning the championship.

Perhaps because of his well-thought-out and comfortable mood, Kobe Bryant held the ball and singled Hamilton, and with divine help, he scored two middle distances in a row.

Of course, this is also because Doon and O'Neal attracted the defense inside and outside, respectively, and Kobe Bryant was not pinched, and both scored by Hamilton alone.

Seeing that the difference had been stretched to 10 points, Larry Brown on the sidelines suddenly opened up.

turned to the field and shouted: "Tyshawn will prevent Kobe Bryant from killing me!" Richard, you're going to defend Doon! ”

Larry Brown had not made up his mind to do that before, mainly because Doon choked Hamilton and Billups enough with his backs during the regular season.

Now Kobe Bryant is feeling hot, Hamilton can't prevent Kobe Bryant at all, if Kobe Bryant is allowed to play like this again, the Pistons will definitely lose tonight.

Larry Brown didn't want to lose to the Lakers again, at the hands of a Zen master, so he had to take a risk as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

I have to say that Larry Brown really hit a big luck.

Prince is 2.06 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.18 meters, and Kobe Bryant is 1.98 meters tall and has an arm span of 2.11 meters.

Prince defends Kobe, no matter how fast Kobe shoots and how big the backlash is, Prince can reach out and interfere with Kobe's shot.

Even though Bryant had a good hand at this time, the ball still smashed on the edge of the basket.

Fortunately, Malone relied on O'Neal to jam the double Wallace, took the ball to attack the rebound and then made a basket.

When it came to the Pistons' offensive round, it was half-dead again.

Doon's help defense affected Billups' shooting, and Bryant gave it his all on both ends of the floor, and Hamilton could only keep running.

As the offensive time ran out immediately, the Pistons could only be shot by Roaring Tianzun.

However, Ma Long is not a dry eater, although he did not interfere with the straight-arm jumper of the roaring Tianzun, he invested a lot of energy in physical confrontation.

Roaring Tianzun's waist and abdomen strength is not good, and it is a little difficult to shoot with the strength of his upper limbs alone, and this time the middle distance is a little shorter.

So, O'Neal easily picked up a rebound on Big Book.

After half the court again, Kobe Bryant took the ball again, but this time Kobe did not rush to shoot, but kept dribbling to find rhythm.

Prince was not slow on his feet, and kept reaching out to support Kobe's waist, restricting Kobe from holding the ball and protruding to the basket.

Bryant didn't call for pick-and-rolls like Doon frequently, and found Prince's long arm to be too disruptive, so he passed the ball to Doon.

Doon thought that Bryant, like James, gave the opportunity to attack to his most trusted teammates.

However, seeing Kobe Bryant's back and reaching out to him for the ball, Doon realized that this was not the case.

In the NBA, some stars rely on one trick to eat all over the world, but some stars can adapt to individual conditions, use different offensive methods, and solve different opponents.

Kobe Bryant's offensive means are extremely rich, since the face frame is not easy to play, then turn his back!

Doon understood Kobe's thoughts, so he decisively passed the ball back to Kobe.

I saw that Kobe Bryant turned around and passed Prince with the help of a feint of shaking his shoulders with his back, but when he was about to step into the paint area, Big Ben came out from under the basket.

Kobe Bryant didn't force it when he saw this, just like he did in the first quarter, skillfully passing the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal was about to splash a shark after receiving the ball, but he didn't want a pair of big hands behind his back to pull him hard.

Even so, O'Neill wanted to soar into the sky, but behind O'Neal not only roared at Tianzun, but also Billups and Prince, who also came up together and held O'Neill down fiercely.

O'Neill didn't stand still and fell to the ground.

Hearing the whistle is just an ordinary foul, you can only scold and stand on the free throw line.

It didn't take long for two free throws and one hit, and the situation couldn't be considered too bad.

However, Larry Brown took advantage of O'Neal's free throws to replace Roaring Tianzun, who had accumulated three fouls, and replaced Oku on the bench.

If one person can't prevent it, there will be two, and if two people can't prevent it, there will be three.

I have to say that the Pistons' resources to defend O'Neal are too rich!

Of course, Oku's role is not just to come up and top O'Neill for a while.

As soon as he came up this time, the Pistons arranged the three-point tactic of receiving the ball from the outside to Oku.

Oku also lived up to expectations, relying on his height and Malone to defend a step slower, and steadily put in the three-point shot.

As a result, the difference in points on the field was narrowed to less than 10 points.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't care too much and tried to make contributions on his own.

However, this time the Pistons went around to limit O'Neal to receive the ball, and Kobe Bryant faced a situation where Big Ben and Prince were caught in front and back, and Kobe could not pass the ball to O'Neal, so he could only make his own strong shot.

Duang——

There was another sound of iron, and Malone rushed forward to grab the rebound and was robbed by Big Ben.

Turning his head, Payton's defense was also a little loose, and Billups directly chased a three-pointer.

After two rounds in a row, he scored 6 points in a row, and the score difference was chased back all of a sudden.

The Zen master didn't sit still, but immediately called a timeout and called the players on the field down to readjust.

However, halfway through, Malone seemed to be somewhat aware of the small tacit understanding between Doon and Kobe, but was a little dissatisfied with Kobe's reluctance to shoot alone in recent rounds.

"In the previous round, there was a lot of space on my side, why didn't you pass the ball to me?"

Kobe didn't care about Malone, but he really failed to help the Lakers widen the point difference, but instead hit the iron and caused the Pistons to chase points continuously, so he could only shut up and let it be ridiculed.

Malone got energetic and continued to chatter after Kobe Bryant.

Just when Kobe Bryant was about to talk back, the Zen master summoned everyone over and made personnel adjustment arrangements.

The Zen master first took Payton down and re-sent Fisher to add a space point to the court.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Doon to hold the ball and connect the team.

Hearing this arrangement, Kobe Bryant and Malone had nothing to say, and O'Neal walked to Doon's side and discussed with Doon about passing him the ball more.

O'Neal was in great shape tonight, scoring 11 points in the first quarter, but after more than 4 minutes in the second quarter, he only scored 1 point.

O'Neal also didn't want to be in good shape, and look at the scoring data after the game, only to find that the score did not exceed 20 points.

Although, for a defensive powerhouse like the Pistons, it is already remarkable to score seventeen or eighteen points in a single game.

But who is O'Neill? One of the rulers of the league, the Lakers are the big bosses, and the most powerful contender for the MVP of this Finals!

O'Neill naturally wants to continue his peak and league dominance.

Of course, O'Neal also noticed that Doon's desire to attack was not strong tonight, and Kobe Bryant's state declined because of the Pistons' defensive adjustments.

Therefore, O'Neill, as the leader of the team, also needs to stand up and score.

Doon said that he had no problem with this, giving Kobe Bryant the ball is no different from feeding O'Neal bread, it is all about winning.

As soon as he got back on the court, Doon immediately called O'Neal and Malone to double cover in the high post.

O'Neal rushed to the basket first, took Oku away, and attracted Hamilton's defense.

Big Ben came out, but he was also shaken by Doon's feints, and as Doon broke through, he pulled the ball to the bottom corner and passed the ball to Malone.

Malone was ready to attack the basket and attracted Oku's defense.

In the end, Malone and O'Neal played a combination under the basket, and the latter completed the finish with an empty dunk.

Although Doon didn't get the assist stats, he also managed to organize a wave of offense to help the Lakers stabilize the situation.

Next, the Lakers re-pulled the difference back under the tandem of Doane.

The Pistons hit Oku several times, but Oku's shooting percentage also dropped significantly after the physical confrontation intensified.

It wasn't until more than 8 minutes in the second quarter that the Lakers relied on Prince to rest and handed the ball back to Kobe Bryant for a single, and Kobe's shooting touch began to warm up again.

As a last resort, the Pistons could only pinch Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball alone.

But he didn't want to, Kobe Bryant saw Doon beckoning for the ball, and he decisively passed the ball to Doon.

The Pistons relied on Hamilton, who played almost the entire first half, to defend Doon, and Doon didn't say a word, and an iron mountain stumbled Hamilton by knocking him down.

Then he turned around and pretended to break through, then stepped back to the three-point line and made a jumper.

Hamilton didn't stand firm, and when he saw Doon turn and break through, in order to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball easily, Hamilton could only retreat to the basket.

Who knew that Doon played this trick on him?

So, before Hamilton could pounce, Doon had already finished his shot.

In the second quarter, Doon made his first shot, and although he had consumed some physical strength on the defensive end before, he still had the physical strength to shoot three-pointers.

What's more, this is still the single-action tiptoe throw that Doon himself is good at.

Brush –

The ball went in, and Doon stepped up again to score singlely.

However, O'Neill, who saw this, was not happy.

Doon felt good, and the Lakers were expected to further widen the difference, but O'Neal only scored 3 points in the second quarter!

14 points in the half, 18 points in the whole game?

Kobe Bryant and Doon are both here to feel it, how can O'Neal still get the ball?

What's more, the Pistons are quite cautious about O'Neal.

In order to retain some physical strength and be able to score in the second half, O'Neill also took the initiative to run to the sidelines and tell the Zen master to let him go down and rest when he was attacking.

The Zen master nodded and quickly made substitution adjustments, and O'Neal immediately informed Fisher to send Big Ben to the free throw line.

43-56, at the end of the first half, the Lakers relied on offensive efficiency far beyond G1 to take a 13-point lead at halftime.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers relied on Doon, O'Neal, and Malone to create better scoring opportunities under the basket for O'Neal.

However, after a game and a half, the Pistons are more familiar with the Lakers' tactics.

As soon as O'Neal got the ball, someone sent O'Neal to the free throw line, and the shark-cutting tactic was forced to come early.

The Lakers did not choose to waste the number of fouls of the main players because of the main force, so they did not return the favor in the other way.

However, after O'Neal hit 2 of 6 free throws, the Zen master still sat on the sidelines and commanded, signaling Doon not to pass the ball to O'Neal, or let Kobe come!

Maybe it was halftime that made Kobe's hot hand extremely cold, and of course, it could also be interfered with by Prince, who hit two irons in a row after taking the ball.

In order to prevent Kobe Bryant from losing the Lakers by going on so iron, Doon could only stand up and choose to play with the ball himself.

Doon continued to play a high double screen, but this time it was a solo to the left corner.

Let Malone stand on the left corner to respond, let O'Neal go to the right bottom corner to squat in the pit, and Kobe Bryant is also on the right, but at a 45-degree angle.

In order to balance the basket and the outside, the Pistons could only send Hamilton to defend Doane alone.

Doon had been hiding his killer moves for so long, so he finally took them out and tried them.

In fact, Larry Brown also knew that Doon would play high back, but this was the first time he saw him in the low post.

Seeing Doon's back-punching move, Larry Brown immediately yelled at the bag, but it was already too late.

I saw Doon turn around and flash near Malone after a backbeat, although Malone did not cooperate with Doon, but he also subconsciously made a wall for Doon to help Doon block Hamilton in the bottom corner and Big Ben who pounced under the basket.

Brush –

It was Doon's shot that helped the Lakers stabilize the situation.

And this time, it is not a flash in the pan, but again and again, it can appear on the court repeatedly.

Doon is so strong in the low post singles, and he also looks stupid at O'Neal!

"Why am I already 11 points in the first quarter, and now the third quarter is almost over, but I still only have 16 points?"

In fact, it was not only O'Neal who felt depressed at this time, but Kobe Bryant was also a little speechless.

Why does Doon feel so good tonight? Why is his hand so indisputable!

It only took half a hard time, and after half-time it went into sage time......

Thanks to Doon's efficient scoring in the third quarter, the Lakers had accumulated a 16-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter.

In this case, the advantage of playing at home is also reflected.

After entering the fourth quarter, once the Pistons scored, it was overwhelmingly booed.

The Lakers scored, even if it was Fisher's goal, it was a deafening cheer.

And the Lakers already have a huge scoring advantage, so they are not in a hurry at all.

In the fourth quarter, even to avoid mistakes, Doon became a dribble guard.

Once the Pistons scored consecutive goals, the Lakers immediately sacrificed a cut-to-cut tactic to disrupt the Pistons' offensive rhythm.

It is precisely this kind of play that methodically suppresses the pace of the game, and the Pistons have no possibility of turning the tables at all.

More than 7 minutes into the fourth quarter, Larry Brown chose to withdraw all his main forces and strive to return to Detroit to play better.

82-99, the Lakers led Doon to shoot 13 of 22, 4 of 9 three-point shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and cut 33 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and the G2 victory over the Pistons in the finals was 17 points, which suddenly brought out the momentum of the super team.

After the game, even though O'Neal was cut by the Pistons in the fourth quarter and only scored 20 points in the whole game, he still had to praise Doon, a capable little brother.

"I'm ready to pass on all the honor and status to Doon like Karim did!"

I've been a little busy lately, so I'll owe a shift and make up for it on the weekend.
