Chapter 111: Turning defeat into victory, sending off Double Wallace and winning G3!

"Kobe, you don't want the team to lose because of you, do you?

Go low and I'll look for a chance to pass you the ball.

We need you, you need us, stop being presumptuous. ”

On the way back to the court, Doon took the initiative to come to Kobe's side, patted his ass and said.

Kobe Bryant was originally just ruthless, and he wanted to use his rich experience in iron to defeat the Pistons and lead the team to victory.

However, after listening to Doon's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stuck out his tongue again.

“We are unstoppable!”

Bryant also said what Malone said in the first quarter, expressing his determination to Doon to win.

After listening to Kobe's words, Doon was relieved and turned to O'Neal's side.

"Shaq, I've convinced Kobe to play with us defensively.

My next task is to get the ball into your hands.

Shaq, on the other hand, will need to overcome two Wallace bag guards!

You need to spend more energy on the offensive end and help us get the ball into the basket!

Shaq, I'm sure I'll be able to trust you, right? ”

Doon knows that Kobe Bryant alone is not enough, he must stimulate O'Neal's fighting spirit and let O'Neal devote himself to the game.

O'Neal had already supported Doane with the ball, but now that he heard that Doon would keep passing the ball to him, he naturally had no other thoughts in his mind.

"As long as we join forces, we can knock them all down!"

O'Neill replied confidently to Doon.

Doon nodded, and then went to Marlon to talk a few words.

It didn't take long for the Pistons to hit the first offensive of the third quarter as Billups missed a mid-range shot under the bag of Fisher and Doon.

Malone protected the rebound, and the Lakers had a chance to tie or overtake the score.

It was still Doon who covered with Malone and O'Neal in the high post, Doon pretended to run the bottom corner single, attracted the defense of the restricted area, and continued to go around Malone's cover to contain the Pistons' defensive attention.

Doon's screen-based shot attracted Prince, Billups and Big Ben.

Originally, Doon was interested in finding O'Neal's position, but after jumping, he found that Hamilton let go of Kobe Bryant and stopped in front of O'Neal, cutting off his passing route.

At the same time, there was a roaring Tianzun card behind O'Neal.

So, this time, Doon faked a real pass, a slightly risky horizontal pass, and passed to Kobe Bryant in the bottom corner of the weak side.

Kobe Bryant jumped to catch the ball, because Hamilton had already defended it when he landed, so he didn't choose a three-point shot in the bottom corner.

Rather, it is a crotch stop, and then a crotch turn and step into the restricted area.

Seeing Big Ben and Prince shrink the basket, Kobe Bryant immediately made a jumper shot.

Brush –

The ball scored, and Kobe Bryant successfully singled Hamilton to help the Lakers tie the score.

With scoring data coming in, Kobe Bryant was naturally more motivated and immediately spread his legs to defend.

However, the Pistons pulled out to shoot a three-pointer because of the roar, and after the iron missed, Big Ben grabbed the offensive rebound, and then scored a second offensive layup, stretching the difference to 2 points.

Doon didn't know if O'Neal was "ill-intentioned" because of Kobe Bryant's score, and in order to appease O'Neal, Doon could only force the ball to O'Neal after blocking and dismantling.

O'Neal faced the double Wallace's sandwich, and although he didn't put the ball in the basket, he still managed to get to the free throw line.

It's two free throws and one hit, O'Neal's normal level.

For O'Neill, it's good to be able to score.

Perhaps it was Doon's pass that inspired O'Neal, who was no longer passive.

When Billups drew Doon's defense and faked a real pass to Prince, who cut to the basket in the air, O'Neal directly rewarded Prince with a big hat.

When Doon returned to defend Prince, he noticed that the ball did not fly out of bounds, so he immediately chased after him and saved the ball.

Kobe Bryant received the ball and went to the fast attack, and the basket was a two-on-two strong completion of the conversion offense, and finally helped the Lakers overtake the score.

After the start of the second half, the Lakers' momentum of chasing points was quite good, but the Pistons could not keep scoring every game.

After Doon gave up the right to shoot and united O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers also used the personal abilities of Doon, Kobe, and O'Neal to slowly establish a scoring advantage.

To put it bluntly, at the moment, the Pistons are only a championship-level team, while the Lakers are a championship-level team.

As long as Doon, Bryant and O'Neal are united, don't fall out, and don't miss games, it becomes very difficult for the Pistons to win the next game.

In the third quarter, O'Neal had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks, Kobe Bryant had 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, Doon had 4 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Fisher had 3 points and 1 rebound, and Malone had 2 points and 3 rebounds.

The Lakers were 26-21 in the first quarter, and before entering the fourth quarter, they also surpassed the Pistons by 3 points.

On the surface, the point difference doesn't seem to be big, and the Pistons still have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

However, because O'Neal jumped the ball at the beginning, the Lakers had a chance to attack first in the fourth quarter.

Dwan, who had spare energy in the third quarter, naturally immediately ushered in an explosion at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Relying on the block, dismantling and switching defenses, and playing with his back in the low post, Doon made 2 of 3 shots and quickly scored 4 points, helping the Lakers extend their lead to 5 points.

The Pistons adjusted their defense again, and Doon decisively passed the ball to O'Neal.

Although O'Neal was once again subjected to shark slashing tactics, the level of free throws also showed signs of decline again due to the huge physical exertion.

However, it is also because of O'Neal's low-post dominance that the double Wallace is a little unsure in controlling the number of fouls.

Before the critical moment of the fourth quarter was played, Big Ben and Roaring Tianzun both received their fifth fouls.

In fact, this is still the home court of the Pistons, and some whistles were not blown by the referee.

That is, O'Neill jumped up and flew into the sky, but he was still dragged down from the air, and this kind of whistle had to be blown.

It was also because of the foul trouble, Larry Brown could only replace the roaring Tianzun with Oku after being reminded by the assistant coach.

Naturally, the Lakers coaching team has taken notice.

Realizing that there was still a big book of 5 fouls on the court, the Zen master did not maintain the previous persona of sitting meditation on the sidelines, but took the initiative to stand on the sidelines to remind the Lakers players on the court.

Let Kobe, Doon, and O'Nealdo play the basket, make as many fouls as possible for Big Ben, and beat Big Ben down.

Although he left Big Ben on the field, he could still execute the chopping tactics at critical moments. However, on the whole, the absence of Big Ben is undoubtedly more beneficial for the Lakers.

Although the Pistons' defensive system is not supported by Big Ben alone, Big Ben's defense is of great significance to the Pistons' defensive system.

Without Big Ben's defense, Doon could more easily block Billups and Hamilton.

Bryant was also able to burst to the basket and score instead of being forced to make a three-iron attack.

In other words, the Pistons watched the Lakers Iron Triangle menacing, and they played so hard, they could only protect the big book as much as possible.

As for Daben, because of the accumulation of five crimes, he is a little afraid to guard against it.

Especially under the basket, Big Ben only dared to go around the front to defend O'Neal to receive the ball, but he didn't dare to push O'Neal behind his back.

Although Larry Brown replaced Oku in order to be able to fight O'Neal for a while.

But if you really want O'Neal to play Oku alone, O'Neal didn't beat Oku out of the, and he can only be regarded as Okula's clean.

How can I not get my shoes wet when I stand by the river, watching the Lakers continue to maintain the advantage at about two or three points, Big Ben still inevitably wants to use defense to help the Pistons win, so he accidentally got hit.

Malone is also a good foul maker, with the help of blocking and dismantling with Doon, pretending to pass the ball to O'Neal, but in fact, he dangled a shot and turned to the bottom of the basket.

Big Ben was about to turn around to help defend O'Neal, but found that he was shaken away by Malone, so he could only immediately move sideways to follow, and then accidentally stepped into the reasonable collision zone with the ball of his foot.

Malone used his elbow to directly take advantage of the unstable foothold of Big Ben to hit Big itself, and then jumped to the basket.

Big Ben stumbled and took half a step back, but in order to prevent the ball, he still reached out to block it, and even grabbed Ma Long's body.

Marlon had already guessed this, and took the initiative to raise his elbow and bring his arm over for Big Benla.

Big Ben subconsciously pulled Ma Long, and then Ma Long threw the ball into the sky, and then fell backwards when he fell.

Although he was not injured, he fell to the ground in pain, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

Waiting for O'Neal, Kobe, Doon and others to step forward, Malone still put on the ground to stage a play.

I saw frowning, curled up, one hand on his knees, and the other hand was impotent and furious to slap the floor.

It seems that because of Big Ben's foul, the knee injury has recurred, and the career is completely scrapped, and the Lakers should now be on a stretcher......

Originally, the referee could still turn a blind eye, after all, the blocking foul at home, sometimes the villain can sue first and sentence the opponent's offensive foul.

However, Big Ben's pulling action was too obvious, and if Malone had not been fouled when he made a layup, it would have been impossible for the ball to fly directly into the sky without touching the basket.

What's more, Ma Long really didn't stand firm when he landed, and at first glance, he was affected by an external force, and his body lost his balance in the air......

In short, no matter what, Big Ben can't clear the suspicion of fouling Ma Long.

Of course, after the referee blew the whistle, although Big Ben was sent off, in fact, this still included the home whistle.

The acting was full, and while Big Ben exited the stage with the cheers of the MVP of the audience, the Lakers also carried Malone off on a stretcher.

Considering that someone was injured, this kind of foul can actually be judged as a bad offense, but in the end, the on-site referee still only blew for a normal foul.

In other words, it was also because Big Ben was penalized that Larry Brown could only bring the roaring day with 5 fouls to the court in advance.

And, because Malone didn't take the free throw and went down, Larry Brown designated O'Neal on the court to take the free throw.

It's not bad, relying on Malone's injury, the game was interrupted, O'Neal took time to rest for two or three minutes, and then hit one of two free throws to return to normal levels.

There are more than 4 minutes left in the game, and the Lakers are playing more clearly, that is, they are playing the inside line and beating the roaring Tianzun down.

Without Big Ben's defense, Doon can also use cover to kill the basket.

Doon, who has long mastered the Magetti template, has a pretty good ability to create damage.

Relying on three consecutive basket attacks, he finally beat the Roaring Tianzun down.

With 1 minute and 41 seconds left in G3's game time, Doon, who stood at the free throw line, finally showed a hook-like smile.

91 to 88, the advantage is mine!

The Lakers not only have a 3-point lead, but also two free throws!

And the Pistons no longer have the twin Wallace twin towers on the inside.

Duang——

Doon scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

The high-intensity finals made Doon, who had been holding the ball and providing stable defense, almost exhausted his physical energy.

Fortunately, Doon is an outside player after all, not O'Neal or Big Ben, and the second free throw is still grasped.

The Lakers took a four-point lead, and the Pistons had to call a timeout.

Larry Brown is ready to draw an offensive strategy to help the Pistons turn defeat into victory.

However, the Zen master said that he was in the right place, and with the opportunity of this timeout, the Zen master also happened to replace O'Neill from the field.

By the way, Fisher was also replaced with Rick Fox, who was better defensively.

Next, the Lakers will send a five-small lineup of Kobe, Doon, Rick Fox, Devin George, and Horace Grant.

In fact, the Lakers lineup is not small, and the shortest Kobe Bryant is also 1.98 meters, which means that the Lakers sent 5 forward players to the court.

"Kobe Bryant, you go defend Chauncey Billups, Doon looks at Richard Hamilton.

Others guard against three-pointers and don't foul.

Keep an eye on your defensive goals and don't miss anyone.

If it really leaks, don't mess up, you can put it in the middle distance, shrink the basket in advance, and prevent the layup. ”

The Lakers are still a man-to-man defensive strategy, but if you really want to talk about it, it's actually a bit of a four-in-one.

Kobe Bryant went to defend the ball handler, and although Doon was assigned to take care of Hamilton, the strongest offensive point on the Pistons, as long as Hamilton couldn't catch the ball, he would have to shrink the basket and help his teammates defend.

The Lakers' defensive weakness is mainly on the inside, but fortunately, the Roaring Tianzun has gone down, and the Pistons do not have too strong low-post singles ability.

Although Oku has two brushes, relying on the front line to stranche and strangle, the supersonic speed can block Olajuwon at his peak, and the Lakers can't get an Oku for no reason.

Next, the Lakers will focus on suppressing the pace of the game and focusing on defense.

As long as the Lakers don't foul or make mistakes this round, even if the Pistons can score 2-pointers this round, they will basically win.

As it turns out, the Pistons don't want to be killed by the Lakers.

Larry Brown fielded a back three lineup of Billups, Lynch Hunter and Hamilton.

As soon as Doon looked at the Pistons' configuration, he knew that Larry Brown had laid out a three-point strategy for the Pistons players.

However, Billups was unable to defend by Kobe, and Doon did a good job of defending Hamilton without the ball.

Lynch Hunter held the ball and wanted to hit a three-pointer from the outside, but was still blocked by Rick Fox.

Eventually, the ball reached Prince, who had the worst three-point ability.

Although Prince can also shoot three-pointers, Doon and Kobe, who defended the whole game, have already exhausted their physical strength.

This time, I took the pot and threw three points, which was somewhat hasty and a little nervous.

With Duang's voice, the Pistons fans on the scene finally left the game early on a large scale.

However, at this time, Doon grabbed the rebound, but it was as fast as a tiger.

Although Hamilton pursued quickly, his strength and physical confrontation were not far behind Doon's.

With Doon converting to make a layup, the Pistons completely lost the possibility of a comeback.

Of course, the game didn't end there.

Larry Brown still used the last timeout to continue his three-point play.

This time, the Zen master's defensive focus is to defend three points, concede two points, and control the ball.

If you are extreme, you can directly foul, but this game has basically been won, so you still have to leave a little grace.

Therefore, when Hamilton used the cover to slip to the bottom of the basket and cut to the basket, Doon also took the initiative to let go, after all, there was no need to pay another foul.

After getting the ball back, Doon served to Kobe, who passed the ball back to Doon.

The Pistons tried to steal, but with Doane protecting the ball with his back and playing steadily, they could only immediately execute the foul tactic.

This year, the rules have not been changed because the shark-cutting tactics affect the look and feel of the game, and the Pistons have wittily used off-ball fouls to let Grant, who is the worst free thrower on the Lakers' side, stand on the free throw line.

Grant withstood the pressure and didn't make two free throws, but he still made a goal and didn't let the situation suddenly become delicate.

In the Pistons' offensive round, the Lakers continued to mark people and limit the Pistons' offense.

In the end, it was Okoura who went to the outside and forced a three-pointer, but he didn't make it.

Devin George protected the rebound with 26 seconds left on the clock!

The Lakers hold a five-point lead and still have the ball.

The Pistons, who did not pause, could only continue to execute the off-ball foul tactic, but they were still wasted by Grant, who was running around, for 3 seconds.

Grant, who was back on the free throw line, did not panic at all, clapped hands with his teammates, and whistled happily.

Fortunately, the famous bald referee Crawford was not present, and the three referees on the scene did not give a technical foul for Grant whistling.

With Grant's first free throw, the margin was back to six points.

When the second free throw came, I don't know if Grant did it intentionally or accidentally, but in short, the free throw was shorter, smashed in front of the basket, and then bounced towards Grant.

Grant stepped forward and grabbed the rebound just in his hands.

As soon as the Pistons saw that Grant still wanted to make a layup, they could only continue to work hard and continue to foul Grant.

Then, Grant scored a magical hat-trick and stood at the free throw line again.

One point, one point, another point, in just one minute, Grant hit one of two free throws every time, but he scored three points on free throws.

The Lakers also further expanded the score advantage with the help of Grant's excellent explosive penalties, and finally won the Finals G3!
