basketball never sleeps

Chapter 44 You have the ability to shoot the ball!
Payton was still able to score 15+5 in the regular season, but he was uncovered in the playoffs, and his average data per game dropped directly to 9+4. He no longer looks like a superstar.

But Payton still has the temper of a superstar.

It's just that Ma Long had a shot before, do you really think how good you are?
Payton, who put all his energy on the defensive end, was like a mad dog, biting Mo Wen crazily, even without the ball, he wanted to hit Mo Wen twice.

Mo Wen didn't get used to him either, he hit people while playing ball.

The desperate confrontation between the two on the field is even more intense than the confrontation between players with the ball.

"Is this how you usually play basketball?"

Mo Chuang curiously asked Bosh next to him, this is pinching and stumbling, swinging arms and elbows is just a stick away from a fight, right?

Bosh was also dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to explain it. The field games are not that wild.

"Xiao Mo and Payton are both very hardworking. Don't mention it, this is the way to play in the finals! Don't miss Xiao Wang's camera, these are precious records."

What Zhang Weiping on the sidelines watched was that the heat was getting hotter and boiling, this is the kind of contest that men should have.

Many Chinese viewers who have never watched basketball also watched Mo Wen play in front of the TV, and then they found that this so-called "playing basketball" seemed to be different from the playing in their impression.

The referee didn't care. Mo Wen and Payton seemed to be fighting fiercely, but they were still awake. At least they still looked like they were playing basketball in their movements, so they didn't panic.

After only playing for half a quarter, Mo Wen and Payton were already drenched in sweat when they left the court.

Lifting up the clothes, several red marks could be clearly seen. Mo Wen thought for a while and then got the potential rough stones to maximize the injury resistance first, and then asked Xiuman to help him find two exclusive masseuses. For a while, the crematorium under the field,
第二节上场6分钟的莫闻拿下了5投3中，6分1助攻1篮板的数据，看起来还不错，但佩顿上场后他的效率就只有3投1中，并不算高。

The Pistons as a whole only tied with the Lakers 41:41.

But the hidden dangers of the so-called "tie" are very clear to the coaching staff on both sides.

O'Neal took a 3-minute rest in the first half, Malone only rested for 4 minutes when he was injured, Kobe didn't rest for 1 minute, and Payton had the most rest time, but how much offensive ability does he have left?

The Zen master knew it, but dared not change it.

The depth of the Lakers' bench is far worse than the depth of the Lakers' bench during Kobe's three consecutive championships.

Not changing the starting lineup is a slow death, and changing to a substitute may die on the spot.

In the third quarter, O'Neal was still efficient. His free throws today were rare and accurate. He made 6 of 5 free throws in the first three quarters, making the Pistons unable to attack the sharks. A quasi-O'Neill is invincible.

But under the Pistons' defense around the front, it is not easy for O'Neal to catch the ball, especially when Kobe's desire to attack is also very strong.

It's not that Kobe is alone, this is also the order of the Zen master, try to reduce O'Neal's physical exertion, and give more play to O'Neal's involvement in the interior, so that Kobe, who is more physically fit, can play more.

Fortunately, Larry Brown is a dead-headed person, and let the Pistons play according to the previous offensive rhythm. If the Pistons played a little faster, with O'Neal's current weight and physical strength, he would definitely not be able to last the fourth quarter.

Mo Wen played for 8 minutes in this quarter, Devin George didn't have much offensive ability, and the Lakers' backup small forward Rush was in average form today, Kobe didn't play much in pick-and-rolls, there was no single-defense pressure on the flanks, and Larry Brown There are not so many worries about substitutions.

After the Pistons allowed Mo Wen to attack for 4 rounds, Zen Master couldn't help but put Payton in front of Mo Wen. Devin George didn't say that he behaved like air in front of Mo Wen, and it was not much worse.

Devin George is more suitable for defending Artest's ordinary but physically powerful beast. He practiced against Kobe every day. He is good at defending his back and body, but Mo Wen can't defend against him unless he fights him. His The defensive judgment ability is extremely poor, and the defense of changing directions and pick-and-rolls is completely unqualified on the stage of the finals. It just so happens that Mo Wen, who is weak against the weaker opponents, is the main coach of changing directions and pick-and-rolls in the copy space.

Mo Wen made 4 of 2 shots in a single quarter, plus he made a thug foul, and scored 6 points easily; Scoring 8 points on 3-of-6 shooting, Zen Master would have killed Kobe even without substitutions.

In the second half of the third quarter, as the physical fitness of "F4" declined, the efficiency of the Lakers became lower and lower, and the point difference began to widen a little bit. By the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had reached 67:60 , The Pistons led by 7 points.

Most of the commentators in the studio are still more optimistic about the Lakers. Even though the other three Lakers giants except Payton did not rest for 1 minute in the third quarter, they still believe that the Lakers can exert the power of "will" in the fourth quarter. The role of time, even the point difference, won the home victory.

The fans on the sidelines were still cheering loudly for the Lakers players, and the faces of the Lakers players also put on the expressions of a fight to the death.

"Can you hold on, big truck?"

"Just kidding, how could labor and capital stop before reaching the finish line!"

Ma Long, who was still applying ice packs in front of him, stomped his feet pretendingly, and his knee, which was better, hurt again.

The Pistons players were much ruder, and Da Ben took the lead in a circle and shouted, "Fuck those dogs to death!"

Dumas looked at the camera on the sidelines like a thief, covered his heart, don't do it, brothers, you will be fined!

In the fourth quarter, the shouts of the Lakers fans became louder and louder, but the difference between the two teams did not narrow.

The Lakers' triangle offense was smoothed in front of the Pistons' iron barrel formation. Several superstars tried their best but failed to narrow the gap between the two teams.

Finally, when the final whistle sounded, many fans covered their heads, still unable to believe that the Lakers lost like this.

The magician in the studio stopped talking for the second half of the fourth quarter, and just sat there with his headband, listening to Barkley and Smith explain from there. The director also took a close-up of his numb face from time to time, which was very effective in the program.

Bryant gave the Pistons a big gift in the first game, making 27 of 10 shots, tying Artest's playoff record this season.

O'Neal is very strong, you have the ability to take the ball and shoot!

Of course, O'Neal's inability to catch the ball in this game was not due to chatter.

Malone held the ball one step from the three-point line, and Rasheed was directly in front of O'Neal. Malone just missed the shot.

Kobe played singles on the weak side, and the Pistons' two insiders did not push forward, so they guarded O'Neal with two guards on the left and right, just to prevent him from receiving the ball.

O'Neal, who shot 80% of the time, couldn't catch the ball, and Zen Master was also desperate.

反观活塞，比卢普斯投篮14中8、罚球5中4拿下22分，拉希德4中3，罚球6投全中拿下14分，普林斯8中4加上罚球得到10分，大本7中3，首发命中率最惨的也不过是汉密尔顿16中5，得分也还是上双了。

On the bench, Mo Wen made 11 of 6 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 15 points, the second highest score in the entire Pistons. For a one-year player, this performance is perfect.

In many domestic canteens after the game, there was a spectacle of steamed buns flying all over the sky.

"Win, win! Piston Beer, Mogo Beer!"

"Too strong, too naive, with 15 points in the finals, Brother Mo is definitely the number one striker in China!"

"What the hell, don't eat, go play basketball, brothers!"

Many elementary and middle school students who had physical education classes in the afternoon were still looking forward to the happy hour on the playground, but they were greeted by a proud head teacher.

"Your physical education teacher has something to do this afternoon. This class will be temporarily changed to Chinese (mathematics/English) class."

But the sound of basketball from downstairs made the students feel that their IQs had been insulted.

"The teacher is lying, the physical education teacher is playing basketball below, I heard it all!"

The classmate who was leaning against the window poked his head, hey, the one standing on the basketball court is their physical education teacher.

　Get up late, see, this is the disadvantage of going to bed late and waking up late.
