God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 404 No Entry Under The Basket
At [-] o'clock in the evening, the game between the two sides started on time, and O'Neal and Big Ben were responsible for the jump ball.This group of duels has a strong visual impact. Daben is not only a head shorter than O'Neal, but also thinner by more than a circle, but O'Neal does not dare to underestimate the taciturn guy in front of him. In fact, it is not too cheap.

Sure enough, O'Neal's take-off was a little slower this time, and it was just such a slight gap that made Big Ben struggle to touch the ball first in midair, and passed the ball to Thomas.Thomas passed directly to Billups, and then ran towards the Lakers paint, allowing Billups to organize the offense.This reflects the difference between the Pistons and the 76ers. If it were the 76ers, this timing would be a fast break layup, but the Pistons' approach is to fight their opponents steadily.

Billups firmly controlled the ball under Fisher's harassment, and at the same time signaled his teammates to start running.His backcourt partner Hamilton understood and ran two screens around Big Ben and Thomas in a row, and finally found a gap at the left elbow.When he ran to the right position, Billups' pass also arrived. After receiving the ball, he didn't adjust at all. Not yet in place.

This is Hamilton's most commonly used scoring method. It doesn't look cool at all, but the effect is surprisingly good, especially at the end of the game, the players in charge of defending him are basically exhausted, but he still comes out. Steadily hitting a shot, Chang Wei, who knew his characteristics, was also determined to maximize his physical advantage.

The opponent scored first, but Zen master's expression still did not change. This is nothing to him and the Lakers. It is enough to recover the points in the next round.The Lakers served from the backcourt, and Fisher gave the ball directly to Kobe. This is also the Lakers' consistent style. As a point guard, Fisher basically does not need to handle the ball. This task is usually given to Kobe.

After taking possession of the ball and coming to the frontcourt, Kobe faced Hamilton's matchup defense. Kobe dismissed the guy in front of him. In his opinion, there are very few people in the league who can defend him. Hamilton Definitely not one of them.Brown also didn't expect Hamilton to stop Bryant, and it would be nice if he could slow Bryant's drive.

But unexpectedly, Kobe didn't shake Hamilton when he changed direction. The latter was still standing in place and waiting, firmly blocking Kobe's advancing route.Not only Brown was a little surprised, but Kobe was also surprised. If he had been contemptuous of Hamilton before, now he has really started to regard this guy in front of him as his opponent.

After a series of feints, Bryant finally opened up the situation on Hamilton, protruding from the left to within the three-point line.Kobe is not a shooter in the traditional sense. Although his big heart at critical moments helped the Lakers win many victories, he still prefers to use his skills to break into the basket and score. There are not many insiders who can stop him .

Originally, Bryant didn't dare to go inside the Pistons. After all, Big Ben was standing there, and he didn't want to go up to eat hot pot.But this time it was Thomas standing in front of him, and he was going to hit a shot on the big black man in front of him.Seeing Kobe dribble straight into the basket, Thomas was a little nervous. It’s not that he didn’t match up with Kobe before, but he was beaten to shame by his opponents. Now he stands in front of Kobe, and the past scenes clearly appeared in his mind Here, he is not sure whether he can do it, but according to the requirements of the team's defensive system, he can't do it if he doesn't go up at this time.

Bryant slowed down and feinted a few times on the move, trying to sway Thomas past him.Thomas subconsciously moved his left foot, and quickly retracted it. He suddenly thought of the defensive training that Chang Wei had given him before. At this time, the opponent's upper body fake moves will dazzle people. The only thing to pay attention to is the movement of the feet.

Seeing that Thomas was unmoved, Kobe was a little anxious. The attack time was running out, so he had to take a step aside, drifting to make a shot.But just as the basketball flew out of his hand, a big hand popped out from behind Thomas, fanning Kobe's shot out of the sideline.

After Kobe landed on the ground, he took a deep look at Da Ben, with undisguised fear in his eyes.After this block, the return of the technical table only left the Lakers with 2.1 seconds of attack time, and in the end their attack came back without success.Zen Master's eyes flashed, and he couldn't sit still any longer, so he simply stood up and loudly directed the players to prepare to defend on the sidelines.

During the training camp, Brown mainly paid close attention to the team's defense, and did not put in much effort on the offensive end, so the Pistons' offense changed relatively little, and the main scoring point was Hamilton alone, perhaps in addition Thomas.As for Billups, Brown still hopes that he will focus on organizing the offense. It is enough to be a catch-and-shoot three-pointer. Or a team attack.

This time Hamilton came out of the screen to catch the ball and didn't make a shot. Szczerbiak, who switched defenses, successfully interfered with his shot, and the rebound was taken by O'Neal.But looking back, the Lakers were deflated inside again. This time it was Walker who was blocked, and Thomas who gave him the fatal blow. Such a performance made Brown nod again and again from the sidelines.

Although Szczerbiak hit a corner three-pointer at the end of this round, the inside line of the Pistons has become a restricted area. Any player who dares to score in the three-second zone must be prepared to be blocked by the opponent. Mental preparation, Kobe and Walker have proved this with practical actions.However, due to the low offensive efficiency of the Pistons, they still trailed 22 to 27 at the end of the first quarter, and more than half of the 22 points were scored by Hamilton.

Such a performance made Chang Wei shake his head secretly. It seems that you can't completely pin your hopes on the defensive end. After all, no matter how defensive you are, it is impossible for your opponent not to score at all. passive.But if you say that the Pistons will lose 100% of the game, that's not good. Anyway, there are still three quarters left, and they can continue to experiment. If they can exchange a game for a stable system, This deal is definitely not a loss.
