Countercurrent and become a superstar

In the second quarter, Larry Brown was no exception. He played the "correct basketball" and fielded a lineup of the Pistons' big four plus a top-notch blue-collar inside player.

Ben Wallace, who had an amazing performance in the first quarter, was sidelined and replaced by McDyess, while the other four continued to work!
“The Pistons, trailing by 8 points, have to fight!!

It's reasonable to be the main force!!

Look at the Lakers lineup?

Oh, it’s still the same, they have no chance of giving up the advantage of the rich war…”

It is still the new F4, Kobe, Qin Yang, Jamison and Payton, plus top blue-collar center Diop.

The second quarter started and the Pistons had the offensive ball.

It was still Hamilton who stirred up the situation, while Billups was the one passing the ball from the top of the arc.

“Hamilton ran from the right to the left and continued to run a lonely!
The Lakers' golden duo continued to dominate the Pistons' outside duo.

Wow, Hamilton played as a supporting role and made a screen tactic with Prince on the outside.

Prince cuts to the basket, receives the pass from Billups, pulls up, and shoots a two-point jump shot..."

There are no shrimps here! Oh no, this is not the correct basketball?
No matter how good Payton was at defense, he couldn't have expected that Prince would not play correct basketball, but instead become unreasonable.

He could only hear the gunshots.

Swish-!
The knife fell and the goal was scored!!
“Yes!!

Prince's sudden stop and accurate hit!!
This ball is so crucial.

After all, the Pistons' offense is too solid. If no star players step up to score, the pressure to score will only increase.

Prince's offensive scoring has greatly improved this season.

He’s even more daring…”

29 to 23! !
There’s nothing you can do about it, everyone has times when they want to eat dumplings!
It's already great that the Golden Twins can control the Pistons' outside twin guns on defense, but do they want to completely freeze all of the Pistons' offensive firepower?
This is unrealistic!!

It is most practical to focus on the big and let go of the small.

The Lakers didn't take Prince's scoring ability seriously at all, so scoring goals was meaningless.

Looking back, the Lakers' offense has changed.

Qin Yang passed the ball from the top of the arc, and Kobe cut to the basket from the left and started running.

"Wow, with Jamison's screen, Prince was blocked.

Kobe ran to the right and finally, finally received the pass from Kobe.

He took the ball and faced McDyess, then faked a shot and took a step forward, then he pulled the ball up, dodged the blocker, and threw the basketball out with a small floater..."

Swish-!
Kobe's attack was swift and decisive, and he showed no mercy.

31 to 23! !
Still 8 points difference!!

“Great job!!

Do you think it is possible that the Lakers are copying the Pistons' offense?
Qin Yang is dealing the cards, and Kobe is also running? "

"It's no wonder that when Kobe runs, he doesn't need to run to an open position to catch the ball and shoot.

Just run away from Prince's defense, bah, just create a one-on-one opportunity for him, and the offensive advantage is on the Lakers' side.

Moreover, facing other defensive players except Prince, Kobe's offensive advantage is greater..."

With this operation, what can you use to support it?
Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Kobe and Qin Yang high-fived to celebrate.

Changing the rhythm occasionally and learning to play without the ball like Hamilton seems to bring unexpected surprises to the Lakers' offense.

At least it can confuse the Pistons' defense, so such an attempt is worth making.

It's nothing more than Kobe wasting some energy!!
The offense and defense switched, and the Pistons attacked.

Hamilton showed his assist talent and ran around, lowering the Lakers' defensive level. Then, when Hamilton received the ball, he did not use his sword to chop, but passed the ball to Prince who was cutting to the basket and attacking the basket.

“Very nice team basketball!
Hamilton and Prince connected, with Prince attacking with open cuts, and the Lakers' defense was completely unable to keep up with their offensive channel.

All I could do was watch Prince catch the ball, finish the game quickly, and score a goal by driving to the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
Prince rushed to the basket and dunked, adding to the Pistons' offensive firepower.

31 to 25! !
On the sidelines, Larry Brown was very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

This is the power of proper basketball!!

Their outside double-gun offense was controlled, but both Billups and Hamilton could play assist in their own way.

It's your choice, idol!

"Ha ha!!

The Lakers' defensive strategy is to focus on the big and let go of the small! ! " Barkley said with a smile on his face at the commentary desk.

"'Catch the big guys' refers to Hamilton, Billups and Rasheed Wallace. 'Let go of the small guys'?

It refers to Ben and Prince.

The amazing thing is that the Lakers are really brave in defense and the Pistons are really brave in offense!!
Ben Wallace stepped up in the first quarter and carried the Pistons forward on both offense and defense.

In the second quarter, it was Prince who took the shot!!

Good guy!
What kind of feeling is this?

How could the correct basketball philosophy be taken to this extent?

It makes sense that the Lakers would lose points..."

When the opponent's role players are not playing their roles on offense, defense itself becomes a problem.

Other teams won't do it, and neither will the Lakers!!

On the court, the Lakers players did not panic!
Now is the time to test the Pistons' offense and compete in offensive combat effectiveness. In front of the Lakers, they will always be the younger brother.

"It's Qin Yang's top arc pass again, Kobe is running without the ball!!

This time Kobe did not cut to the basket, but moved to the top arc from the left wing.

pretty! !
Qin Yang and Kobe made an outside screen tactic. While Qin Yang blocked Prince, he also handed the damn basketball to Kobe.

He accelerated and broke through immediately after getting the ball, and Billups quickly switched defense and fought and retreated.

Kobe went in and he shot, oh no, he changed the shot in the air into a pass and passed the ball to Qin Yang who cut in from the left.

He took the ball, jumped high into the restricted area, and dunked with one hand like a god descending from heaven..."

Bang-dang——!
Qin Yang used a forceful posture to complete a slam dunk on McDyess under the basket, scoring two points and continuing the Lakers' offense.
"nice shot!!

Qin Yang and Kobe continued playing music and connecting.

Moreover, it is a role-swapping mode between the assistant and the terminator. Both of them are all-round talents. They can score and pass the ball. I don’t know if it sounds good or not, but the offensive firepower they unleash together is superb…”

You have no top at all!!
33 to 25! !
"The offensive firepower of Billups and Hamilton cannot match the offensive output of the Lakers' golden double guns.

The Pistons pushed Prince out to fight against the Golden Twins, which can only be described as showing off their skills in front of Guan Gong..."

By the way, the Pistons' execution of correct basketball was indeed outstanding. In the subsequent offense, in addition to Rasheed Wallace taking the ball and playing as an organizing forward, he also assisted Prince who cut in, helping Prince to rush to the basket and layup, causing Diop who was guarding the basket to commit a foul.

“Prince is going crazy!

He got the chance to go to the free throw line..."

Swish-!
Swish-!
Standing at the free throw line, Prince shot the free throw and hit it steadily, continuing the Pistons' offense.

"Billups, Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace, the three top scorers, assisted Prince.

The Lakers defense can’t stop it, it can’t stop it at all…”

Looking back, Kobe continued to run without the ball, received the pass from Qin Yang, turned around and shot a two-point fadeaway jump shot...

Bang-dang——!
After getting rid of Prince, the opportunity came, but the basket was not the Lakers's, and he shot three out of four, but the shots went wide.

"Kobe without the ball.

It seems that he can attack opponents at will, but this is not Kobe's best offensive mode.

Iron, that makes sense!!

Next, let’s look at the Pistons’ offense…”

Bang-dang——!
Prince also did it. Despite Kobe's block, he took a two-point jump shot, but it also missed.

“This can’t continue!
This is why the Lakers dared to let Prince shoot.

The gamble is that Prince’s offensive combat effectiveness is not considered alive.

His scoring ability, which is barely enough to feed a cat, cannot kill the Lakers who have the golden twin guns..."

In the next few rounds, both sides entered into a tense situation of iron show.

but--!
The Lakers were the first to climb out of this quagmire.

Thanks to Qin Yang's goal in a one-on-one match against Billups, the Lakers regained the points they lost to Prince.

“No matter how handsome Prince is, he is only brave enough to show his bravery alone.

In terms of offense, the Lakers have the golden duo and are not afraid to be compared with any team..."

Seeing that the Pistons' offense was not smooth and the defense was in danger of not being able to hold up, Larry Brown could only wave his hand and release Ben Wallace, the tiger, from the cage in advance. The Pistons' five tigers returned to their positions! !
"There is no choice. If we don't fight now, when will we fight?

The Pistons, who were trailing in the score, could only hope that Ben Wallace, who had a god-like performance in the first quarter, would come out to ask for the game..."
