Countercurrent and become a superstar

This 20-point difference is fatal!
The Pistons now have 24 minutes left, which is two quarters. If they want to reverse the result, how can they do it? "

"Kenny, what do you think?"

On the commentary stand, before the start of the third quarter, Barkley asked the thoughts of everyone on and off the court.

“Uh, can I surrender?
Just lose half?

The current situation is very desperate for the Pistons.

The only consolation they had was the 24 minutes of playing time."

"Haha, your idea is great!
But it can't be done. If we fight to the G6, it will definitely be a matter of winning or losing, as well as life or death.

In this game, if the Pistons shoot, the Lakers will be the champions!! "

"All right!!

It’s the same situation as last season’s finals against the Mavericks, with two options.

Their abilities are limited and they cannot take care of both offense and defense at the same time, so they can only choose to do one and fight hard.

First of all, it must be defending as hard as possible."

“In the first half, the Pistons just played hard on defense and the team scored 38 points.

Therefore, if the Pistons defended hard in the second half, they could have scored at least 38 points.

Minus those damn 20 points, the Pistons had 17 points of margin for error.

In other words, you cannot lose 9 points in one quarter.

Such winning formula conditions are extremely difficult to achieve and are absolutely challenging.

But the Pistons have no choice..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kenny Smith's face was full of bitterness.

On the court, there was a crisp sound of the net hitting the target. Qin Yang showed no moral integrity and despite being blocked by Billups, he made an unreasonable three-pointer.

“Very nice goal!!

The Pistons' space for mistakes was compressed again without any emotion.

This is a basketball game, calculations cannot stand the test! ! ” On the commentary stand, Barkley spread his hands and looked at Kenny Smith.

"The Lakers had such a huge advantage in the first half!!
They can shoot as much as they want, but any shot that goes in is the biggest blow to the Pistons' defense!!
The kind that kills people and destroys their hearts!! "

"In the finals, the top teams compete against each other to see who has fewer flaws and who makes fewer mistakes!!
Now the Lakers are more balanced in offense and defense, and they are playing at home. They have more advantages in the first half and a higher margin of error. What can you use to counter them?"

"..."

We are 23 points behind, so there is no need to talk about defense or not! !

Attack! Attack! Attack!
The only way for the Pistons to reverse the game is to attack.

They need to increase the pace of their offense and make the offensive pie bigger.

In this way, they will have the capital to fill the 23-point gap.

In other words, they have to attack and challenge their offensive weaknesses.

"In the transition from offense to defense, Billups controlled the ball in the front court and was pressed by Qin Yang again.

Hamilton moved without the ball and continued to stir up trouble. Unfortunately, he was chased by Kobe and could only run alone! !

The offensive connection between Billups and Hamilton was controlled again..."

The Pistons' greatest weapon for attacking is Hamilton's track and field system, supplemented by Billups' dealing system. One lowers the opponent's defensive level, and the other provides efficient and precise guidance to complete the attack in a flash, forming a "pull-pass-hit" assembly line attack chain.

Now Hamilton's off-ball style makes it impossible for him to receive the basketball, and Billups's distribution mode makes it impossible for him to pass the ball properly. The offensive firepower of the Pistons' most threatening outside duo was immediately wasted by half.

"pretty!!

Billups is worthy of being the key man. At this moment, he decisively threw the damn basketball to Prince outside the three-point line on the left wing.

Catch the ball, lift the ball, aim...Wow, Prince hesitated. His three-point shooting ability is limited. He chose to take a step and then pass the ball back to Billups. "

"Hey, Rasheed Wallace went to the high post, blocked for Billups, and Billups broke through with the ball!

He went in, jumped out, and passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace outside the three-point line.

Wow, after playing a round, it was still a regular offensive routine." "After receiving the pass from Rasheed Wallace, he saw that there was no time left for the attack and had no choice but to pull up and shoot a three-pointer..."

At this moment, the Lakers, who had arranged their defense perfectly, were helpless.

Rasheed Wallace, a 2-meter-tall guy, was forced to pull out to the three-point line to shoot three-pointers. No matter how good their defense was, they could only listen to the gunshots.

Ben Wallace under the basket, with his nose for rebounding, had already positioned himself early and was ready to make the final move after grabbing the rebound.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

The three-pointer was accurately made.

Rasheed Wallace, who was under immense pressure, suddenly roared and beat his chest. He needed to release everything!!

In!

Three points scored!!
He is so difficult!!
Fortunately, he succeeded in taking the blame.

God was on their side.

The three-point shot when he was forced into a desperate situation actually went in.

Sure enough, basketball is not about calculation.

The Lakers did everything they could on defense, and their moves were as fierce as a tiger, but in the end they were just defending alone.

The field was full of surprises and accidents!!

"The Pistons survived?"

On the commentary desk, Kenny Smith raised a question after seeing Rasheed Wallace fiercely respond with a three-pointer.

After all, even though the Pistons made a three-pointer, the situation on the court did not change at this time.

Still 20 points difference!!

There is no point in comparing 3 or 4 points of truth.

The Pistons still have bigger offensive scoring problems waiting for them to challenge!!
How to lose with a 20-point advantage?
On the court, the Lakers played with this mentality and didn't care about the Pistons' scores.

They just need to be themselves.

"Qin Yang didn't waste time anymore!
He became a tool.

Kobe received the ball, shot it, and tried to test the Pistons' defense with a three-pointer.

Will God be on the right side of this ball?"

Bang-dang——!
Try it and you will die!!
God didn't give Kobe face, and his three-point shot came back empty-handed.

However, the Lakers did not panic.

In the following games, the Lakers continued to kill the game with simple jump shots.

The three-point or two-point jump shots and the Six Meridians Divine Sword were sometimes effective and sometimes not. Although some mistakes were made, with the Pistons' offensive ability that was not even enough to feed a cat, they really couldn't seize the opportunity to counterattack.

The Pistons' offensive firepower and quality are not much better.

"I can only say that the Pistons' offensive ability is really not at the championship level!"

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

"They showed this weakness last season when they played against the Dallas Mavericks.

But they did not reflect on themselves and work hard to improve themselves on offense.

Even this season's offensive ability is worse than last season.

Even if the Lakers are given a chance, they are useless..."

After the third quarter, the Pistons beat the Lakers 25 to 21 and recovered the so-called 4-point gap.

Unfortunately, it had little impact on the overall situation of the game.

After the first three quarters, the score was 63 to 79, and the Lakers still had a 16-point lead entering the fourth quarter decisive battle.
