Countercurrent and become a superstar

“Back from timeout!
Kobe cut to the basket from the left wing, ran to the right basket without the ball, and then ran to the right wing to receive the pass from Qin Yang.

Then, he broke through with the ball and Billups could only defend himself as Rasheed Wallace pounced on him.

My goodness!

Kobe shot, oh no, he broke through the defense in the air and passed the ball with his back to Qin Yang who came in from the middle.

At the bottom, Qin Yang jumped high and chopped with his right hand..."

Bang-dang——!
It’s not that Kobe can’t play one-on-one with the ball, but that Kobe’s offense is more cost-effective when he plays as a supporting player without the ball.

The key is that the interaction between the Lakers' golden duo has become closer.

In the past, when Kobe Bryant held the ball and played one-on-one, Qin Yang would round up and make all the connections. Qin Yang played more of a supporting role, and Kobe was the only protagonist.

At this moment, Kobe occasionally copied Hamilton's homework. In addition to running without the ball and challenging opponents at will, he was also able to disrupt the Pistons' defensive formation.

In addition, Kobe can also assist the organization, use himself to attract defense, pass the ball, and make his teammates around him better.

“Very nice goal!!

The Lakers called a timeout not just to delay time but also to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

They were also able to do their job well and work hard to score on offense.

This is the difference between being human..."

84 to 76! !
The point difference returned to 8 points.

On the sidelines, although Larry Brown was annoyed that his players lost points, he did not panic.

The Pistons are in high spirits!
The players' morale is high, and if they try hard, they may be able to regain the points lost in the first three quarters.

"Qin Yang continues to lead the defense and press Billups!
With the help of Rasheed Wallace's screen, Billups broke through with the ball, and Qin Yang's defense was about to be lost!
Billups went in, the Pistons had a chance to score, and bah, Billups missed.

Kobe's timely assist in defense and Qin Yang's subsequent pursuit and defense achieved a double-team on Billups.

Then, Kobe made the steal!!”

"The Pistons' offense was too amateurish this time, and their offensive moves were completely predicted by the Lakers.

At this point, Billups' offense was very open and he was targeted by the defense, which was not surprising."

"The Lakers counterattacked, Kobe dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Qin Yang who rushed to the front court.

He took the ball, rushed to the basket, and made another powerful one-handed dunk..."

Why do you say "again"?

It doesn't matter. The defensive counterattack attack is originally a difficult problem.

Now it is the Lakers' golden double guns that are playing, you really have no chance of winning!!

"OMG!!

After the Lakers came back from the timeout, Kobe played as an assist and Qin Yang took the lead in offense, scoring 4 points in a row and regaining the points lost from Billups.

10 points, still a 10-point difference..."

86 to 76! !
At this moment, the Palace of Auburn Hills was once again filled with a tsunami of boos from the home fans. Was there still the same sound as the waves of cheers and applause that had just been set off?

"The Pistons are in danger!!
In terms of offense, they are really just little brothers in front of the Lakers' golden double guns! !

No matter how brave Billups is, he is just one person.

The Lakers' golden duo on the perimeter are top-notch in both offense and defense, so they are not afraid of the Pistons' strong outside offensive firepower..."

Because, no one is as brave as them!!
Looking back, the Lakers continued to strengthen their defense against Billups.

Billups had no chance, and the Pistons were back to their old ways.

"Hamilton runs without the ball, Billups passes the ball, Hamilton receives the ball, pulls up, and shoots a two-point jump shot..."

Unfortunately, although the opportunity came, Hamilton, the mid-range shooter, failed to make the shot.

Bang-dang——!
“The familiar sound of hammering iron is back!

The Pistons' duo of outside shooters were once again controlled by the Lakers' golden duo.

No matter whether it was Billups or Hamilton, no matter how powerful their passive skills were, they could not escape the Five Finger Mountain that Kobe and Qin Yang jointly offered. "

“In theory, it’s still a matter of being persistent and doing both!

With only Billups playing, the offense is still too thin.

Hamilton, as the king of mid-range shots, needs to stand up! "

"..."

At this time, Larry Brown took action again. He waved his hand and replaced McDyess with Ben Wallace. The so-called Five Tigers of the Pistons all returned to the court.

Since we lost points continuously, one was a rim attack and the other was a counterattack, this is a problem of rim protection and frontcourt rebounds. Putting Ben Wallace on the court can solve the defensive problem.

It’s no wonder that the difference in defensive level between having Big Ben on the court and not having Big Ben is very obvious.

Sure enough, as soon as Big Ben came back, he defended the Lakers' offense.

"Kobe dribbled the ball, rushed to the basket for a layup, tried to draw a foul, and scored steadily, but was firmly defended by the Pistons.

Big Ben's defense of the restricted area is so important."

"Next, the Pistons have a chance to fight back."

"Billups passed the ball to Prince, who broke through with the ball and shot a two-point pull-up jumper.

With a clang, the strike missed the target!!
But the Pistons' offense is not over yet.

It was Ben Wallace again. He grabbed the offensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Hamilton for a second jump shot...” Clank!
There is no two-point jump shot that cannot be hit. If you can't, then try a second time!!
In other words, Lu Xun's words still make sense! !

Hamilton's second shot missed, and Rasheed Wallace grabbed the frontcourt rebound, then played music, and then made a final shot under the basket. Finally, finally, with the third shot, he put the damn basketball into the basket.

“It’s so difficult!!
The Pistons really tried too hard.

This goal was scored entirely by rushing forward and fighting desperately, grabbing rebounds, and getting second and third attack opportunities.

The Lakers' rebounds were snatched away again..."

Why do we say "again"?

But it doesn’t matter.

86 to 78! !
The Lakers still have an 8-point advantage.

At this time, the Lakers also made substitutions, and the starting five returned to the court to fight for the last time! !
Bang-dang——!
"Qin Yang tried to solve the problem with a three-pointer!

But missed.

At this point in the game, the physical energy tank is running low, and dribbling to the basket and mid-range shots are the only way to go.

Even dogs don’t shoot three-pointers…”

“The Pistons’ chance!!

OMG! !
It was predicted again. Billups gave the card to Hamilton who ran into an open space. As a result, Jamison let go of the defense, rushed over early and completed a steal on Hamilton.

Hiding and fighting is just the way of a jerk!!
Attack the enemy! Attack the enemy! Attack the enemy!
I said it three times. At this time, the Pistons' offense was silent and they needed Hamilton, the team's leading scorer, to face the defense and force points.

You run around everywhere, and your offensive moves are predicted...”

Looking back, Qin Yang dribbled the ball across half court and acted as a tool, passing the ball to Kobe to take over the game.

“On the left wing, holding the ball, setting up an offensive triple threat.

Kobe raised the ball to shoot, but no, he dribbled left and right and broke through.

He stopped suddenly and raised the ball to shoot, ugh, it triggered a double-flying attack from Prince and Billups, Kobe went forward to face the defense, and he bumped into him..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Kobe's shot was a perfect miss, but it didn't matter. The referee's whistle sounded and Kobe got the chance to shoot free throws.

On the commentary stand, Barkley watched and shook his head.

“This is experience!!
wrong! !
More than just experience!!

This is the strength of a true superstar on the field.

When the team needs to score points and needs to attack, don't think about relying on teammates who only have a few hundred US dollars.

Instead, you need to focus only on the basket and imagine that the basket is as wide as the ocean.

That's not right. Even if the basket isn't as wide as the sea, you still have to shoot at the basket."

“This is the spirit of Bright Sword!!

Well, being able to cause a foul is also a skill..."

Swish-!
Swish-!
Standing at the free throw line, Kobe faced the boos and screams from the audience, and without mercy, he made both free throws to continue the Lakers' offense.

88 to 78! !
The difference is still 10 points!!

At this point, it seemed that the Pistons had little time left to attack.

The Pistons had no choice but to chase the game by two points at a time, but there was no chance of a comeback.

Now, it's time to test the Pistons' three-point shooting ability.

Moreover, with Hamilton only good at two-point shooting and Billups being closely guarded and sometimes ineffective with three-point shooting, there are not many options for three-point shooting to break the game! !

"Billups brought the ball downfield and set a screen with Rasheed Wallace in the high post.

Billups dribbled the ball, he went in, he jumped out again, and passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace outside the three-point line.

He caught the ball, pulled it up, raised his hand and tried a three-point jump shot..."

The 2-meter power forward pulled out to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer. No matter how good the Lakers' defense was, they could only listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity is here.

But the Pistons can’t even shoot two points, let alone three points!
Next, Rasheed Wallace continued to try a three-point jump shot.

In the end, you will die if you try.

Bang-dang——!
The three-point shot didn't produce a miracle.

The consecutive missed three-point shots became the Pistons' death knell! !
Om-!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.

The score was 98 to 93, and the Lakers had the last laugh with a 5-point advantage. They defeated the Pistons three games in a row and took a 3-0 lead. They had one hand already touching the championship trophy.

汉密尔顿21投9中，三分1中0，罚球3中2，进账20分4助攻3篮板。

Billups made 18 of 7 shots, 8 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of free throws, scoring 22 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. The Pistons' two outside shooters combined for 42 points. Despite being controlled, they made a lot of progress.

Unfortunately, it is far from enough.

On the Lakers side, Kobe Bryant alone scored 37 points in the game, and with Qin Yang's 29 points and 11 assists, the Lakers' golden duo scored a total of 66 points, with high-end combat power, continuing to lead by a huge margin.

活塞队内线本华莱士10投7中，罚球2中1，贡献15分13篮板6封盖3抢断的华丽表现，但除去首节超神的7分5封盖5篮板1抢断的表现外，余下的三节表现平庸。

The two outside shooters were controlled, and the inside players were unable to fight back for a long time and dominate the game, so it was not surprising to lose by 5 points.
