Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 199 Kobe is back

It's just that Hamilton on the side also didn't feel so well.

He was almost out of breath by Zhao Hao, and he couldn't even run as fast as usual.

Zhao Hao scored both free throws, taking advantage of this moment, he quickly said to the two veterans beside him.

"Stop elbowing for the rest of the time. These players on the Pistons are not vegetarians for their free throws. Unless it is to get Daben to the free throw line, they must not foul at will.

After all, that guy is also a free throw idiot.

Of course, we will continue in the next quarter of the game. If we don’t elbow others, we will elbow Hamilton. "

Butler and Divac, who were pulled together, couldn't help but smile lewdly at Hamilton passing by when they heard this, and then nodded in agreement.

Hamilton only felt a shrewdness in his body, and a chill in his heart.

He subconsciously glanced at that bastard Zhao Hao.

"That guy won't want to elbow me again in the next quarter."

The first quarter is over.

Because of the Pistons' high-intensity defense and elbow fouls when they disagreed, the Lakers' Princeton system did not work at all.

Therefore, they did not score 20 points until the end of the first game.

However, the Pistons are also not feeling well.

Hamilton, who was strictly defended, only scored 5 of 2 shots and 6 points.

In the first quarter, the Pistons only scored 21 points.

The score in this single quarter is really low enough.

It is worthy of being the Pistons that lead the league in defense.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons put on a bench dominated by Antonio McDyess and Eldon Campbell.

But the core of the field is still Billups.

That's right, Billups is still playing!

Although the Pistons' offensive scoring leader is Hamilton, it has to be said that Billups is the brain and core of the team, and it is also the most important point.

Naturally, Tang Shuai dispatched the Five Dead Juniors with Odom and Zhao Hao as the main players.

Damn it, Zhao Hao was about to be fucked to pieces.

Bryant has played more than 35 minutes in every game since his injury.

Let's say this is a long time, most of the core players will play for such a long time, and it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

But the key point is that Zhao Hao's style of play is to cut in and run non-stop on the court, and help defend the inside.

This consumption is much higher than most starters!
After all, not only iron men like Kobe and James can often do it at both ends of the offense and defense?

In addition, Hamilton of the Pistons can run better than him in this game, so this physical exertion is simply exhausting!

Thus, Zhao Hao came to a conclusion.

With his current physical fitness of 80 points, it is really not enough to support him to play 35 minutes of the game with all his strength.

On the court, without Daben as the defensive core, the Pistons' defensive strength has finally dropped.

In addition, at this time, in order to restrain the Lakers, the Pistons played a twin-tower lineup on the court.

This lineup can't keep up with the Lakers' dead five, so it further gives the Lakers room to play.

The horn of attack is blowing!

Oddo hit the basket one after another from the three-point line and mid-range.

Zhao Hao also made two three-pointers from the bottom corner and super long because of the existence of the Pistons' two tall towers inside.

The score on the field was opened immediately.

The head coach of the Pistons, Larry Brown, was careless, thinking that he could bully the Lakers' small lineup by relying on height.

He didn't even look at the team that could beat the Lakers to death inside, which one didn't have a strong center in it.

Even if it's an inside player who can't defend well, if he wants to kill the Lakers, he must be at the top offensively!
But who are their twin towers?

An Antonio McDyess, an Eldon Campbell.

The average scoring of the two is only 9 points and 6 points per game.

Relying on them to kill the inside of the Lakers?
You might as well expect Ben to shoot threes!

On the Pistons bench, Larry Brown frowned slightly watching the situation on the court.

"I didn't expect that the inside of the Lakers team was not so bad. They relied on the No. 23 on the outside to double-team the defense, and they were able to steadily limit our inside offense.

Careless! "

beep!beep!
The referee whistles!

After reacting, Larry Brown quickly removed the Twin Towers lineup and replaced the starting lineup.

At the same time, Billups was removed and replaced with the team's backup guard-Carlos Arroyo.

Although Arroyo is just a substitute player, compared with Billups, it is a world of difference.

But he is also a traditional defender, and his style of play is very upright, without those fancy blind operations.

Of course, at this time, the Pistons' style of play on the field is not relying on Billups' style of organizing offense.

It's singles and offensive rebounds!
Roaring Tianzun Niujiao began to play singles.

Butler, who replaced him, hurried to keep up. His defense is not bad.

It's just that when facing Rasheed Wallace, the height gap is really too big.

After all, Roaring Tianzun is also 211cm tall!

Swish!
Rasheed Wallace topped the inside line and scored.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Atkins called Grant to come up for the pick-and-roll and go straight to the inside to kill.

Another three-team!

Big Ben and Roaring Tianzun built the Pistons' inside defensive barrier, and Carlos Arroyo, who followed behind, was also ready to take out the ball at any time.

Mistake!
Fight back!
Parkour master Hamilton scored with a gentle dunk!
Intermediate defense.
Although he was an opponent, Zhao Hao, who was resting off the court, really couldn't help but let out a sigh.

This defense is really good.

I don't know how much tougher the defense of those teams in later generations is.

It's no wonder that some old players always say that playing in our era, many players simply couldn't get so many points.

I really didn't mess around!

Because of this ball, Zhao Hao, who had only rested for 1 minute, was replaced by Tang Shuai.

Zhao Hao: Help, this coach is a devil.

After Zhao Hao entered the field, he naturally started his previous plan, elbowing Hamilton to death.

Needless to say, under Zhao Hao's strong defense, Hamilton played really well in this game.

Most of his energy was spent pushing and kneading Zhao Hao.

Long-distance runners, there are still times when you get tired.

It's just that preventing the death of Hamilton's restrictions on the Pistons is really not as big as imagined.

In this game, Billups went crazy!

Atkins couldn't guard him at all, allowing Billups to make three-pointers and score inside.

In the end, the Lakers lost the game 85:89.

This is also the lowest score they have achieved this season.

After the game, the Pistons were interviewed.

Big Ben rarely praised the players of other teams.

"The No. 23 of the Lakers played well, his defense was tough, and he caused us a lot of trouble.

But after the game, Billups reminded me that the rookie dared to scold me on the court, and he scolded me around the bush!
Why do you recognize me as a grandson, he is the grandson!

When I meet the Lakers in the next game, I will definitely make him look good. "

After the game ended, Kobe finally got permission from the team doctor and made an early comeback!
This is a full week earlier than the originally scheduled recovery time of one month.

As of now, the Lakers have played a total of 12 games after Kobe was injured, with a record of 6 wins and 6 losses.

So the Lakers now have a total record of 27 wins and 20 losses, with a winning percentage of 57%!
