I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 71 Stadium Monster! (Seek to follow up)
The Pistons showed the fighting spirit and cohesion they should have.

However, on the next possession, Payton popped the pass to Bryant on the weak side after Malone had screened.After receiving the ball, the latter shot directly without saying a word.

Bryant shot too fast, Hamilton failed to guard.But maybe Kobe shot a little hastily, this time the shot was a bit heavy, and he just crossed the bridge.

At this time, O'Neal was rampaging under the basket, pushing away Campbell and Ben, and dunking the ball in an alley-oop. It can be described as violent aesthetics and shocked everyone.

Kobe, who was not going to pass the ball to O'Neal, also got an assist data.

Regarding shooting, the rules of FIBA ​​and NBA are different.

If it were in FIBA, Kobe just made a shot and O'Neal completed the alley-oop. Kobe had no assist data, but O'Neal would have one more offensive rebound data.

But in the NBA, after a basketball is shot, it must touch the rim or backboard to count as a shot.

Kobe's ball didn't touch the rim, the backboard, or the Nets. It was the most normal three non-sticks.Fortunately, it was three non-sticks. This ball was not counted as Kobe's shots. After O'Neal completed the alley-oop, he had an assist of +1.

Both teams scored at the basket for the first offense of the game.

But in comparison, the Lakers are much easier here.

Just from the first round of the duel, you can see the horror of O'Neill.

Not only can he squeeze out his position in two-on-one at the basket, get up and dunk, but he is also very experienced. He can predict the trajectory of his teammates' three-point shots and complete the lob, which is quite incredible.

Seeing O'Neal complete this miraculous cooperation, the Pistons couldn't help but gasp.

"What kind of monster is this? Can we really defeat an opponent of this level?"

The game must be played, and we must rush to win, but the Pistons players find it difficult.

Next, it was the Pistons' turn to attack again.

Billups flicked past Payton with a top arc, went inside and passed the ball to Ben.

Big Ben didn't waste the ball this time, and scored the ball against O'Neal's defense with difficulty.

After the goal, Big Ben turned his back to O'Neal, arched his arms, and roared towards the audience beside him.

This is the home court of the Pistons, so it's no problem for Big Ben to be so excited.

O'Neill was scored on his head by Big Ben twice in a row. He felt a bit humiliated. When the offense was in position, he talked to Payton and wanted to hit Big Ben with the ball in the low post.

As for the defense of O'Neal is Campbell?

This is no problem, can Campbell guard O'Neal alone?cannot!
When the time comes to defend O'Neal at the basket, Big Ben will definitely come to double-team, but O'Neal can still score the ball toughly in the face of this level of defense.

The Pistons noticed the communication between O'Neal and Payton, and the next defensive strategy was very clear.

Defend around the front to prevent O'Neal from receiving the ball. Once O'Neal receives the ball, the two double-team to prevent O'Neal from playing back one-on-one or passing the ball out.

The two teams played a bright card, and it stands to reason that the Lakers can change their offensive strategy.

But Payton and Malone are O'Neal's people. They came to cover O'Neal's thighs, so they naturally believed in O'Neal, the team leader.

Payton first screened and rolled with Malone, and then when Malone rushed to the basket, he passed the ball to O'Neal.

In this wave of cooperation, Malone took away Big Ben and Prince to prevent O'Neal from being unable to shoot after receiving the ball.

When O'Neill moved and hit his back, Campbell was hit and staggered.

Ben returned to the basket in time, but when O'Neal saw the owner coming, he didn't waste any more time. Facing Ben's block, he made a one-handed dunk.

"I can't prevent it, I can't prevent it at all."

Daben on the field only twitched his eye muscles, but off the field the Pistons bench players felt very hopeless.

Also an All-Star center, judging from the sense of the game, Ben is obviously several grades behind O'Neal.

O'Neal is a super giant inside who can't be guarded by DPOY like Daben.

Now that O'Neal keeps playing in this state, the Pistons will be like last week's game, unable to withstand the Lakers' offense in the third quarter.

In order to win the Lakers, the Pistons fans stood up from their seats early and shouted: "Defend, defend, defend!"

However, in the next round, it was the Pistons' turn to attack.

Billups passed the ball to Ben who was covering the sideline, and Ben handed the ball to Hamilton who was running over.

The uncomplicated sideline cover tactics created a good shot opportunity for Hamilton.

But Hamilton still couldn't find the touch, and he was crisp and iron again, making Kobe who was chasing after him amused.

This time the Pistons failed to hold the rebound, and O'Neal suppressed Campbell under the basket to grab the defensive rebound.

Immediately after receiving a pass from O'Neal, Payton quickly counterattacked.

Malone is 40 years old, but at this time he is old and strong, and his fast break is faster than Kobe. After receiving a pass from Payton in the penalty area, he dunks the ball in an alley-oop.

As far as Malone's athletic ability is concerned, it's no wonder that Payton watched his son play in the Warriors and teased himself. Is it because Malone went to his house while he was not at home.

It is said that the Pistons failed to score in the offense and failed to defend the counterattack, so it will be difficult to play next.

Hamilton's first two shots ended with iron strikes, which basically indicates that Hamilton will pull again today.

Billups thought that since no one could stand up, he decisively shot a three-pointer, and Payton's eyes widened like copper bells: "Can you still hit the ball like this?"

After the sound of Duang, Peyton came back to his senses: "You hit the iron before I guarded it? Shake me, right?"

The Pistons hit another iron and missed an offensive rebound.

Although the Pistons returned to defense faster this time and the Lakers failed to make a conversion, the Lakers took the lead after all.

John Hammond on the sidelines couldn't decide whether to call a timeout, so he could only anxiously shout to the court: "Stay focused and increase your aggression."

Perhaps John Hammond's supervision played a role. The Lakers failed to complete the offense this time. The Pistons held the defensive rebound and launched a counterattack.

This time, Billups' shots are still relatively sloppy, but the CIC scored against Payton's defense, so we have to change the way of describing it.

Billups singled Payton and made a decisive mid-range shot to help the Pistons tie the score and stabilize the situation.

However, the point difference was quickly widened again. Payton and Malone had a pick-and-roll, and Malone passed the ball back halfway down the line.

Payton caught the ball and made a mid-range shot, successfully responding to Billups' previous goal.

Billups didn't go up, and with the help of Prince's screen, he passed the ball to Campbell inside, who in turn passed the ball to Hamilton.

Knowing that he didn't feel good, Hamilton didn't rush to make a shot. When Kobe and Malone focused on him, they passed the ball to Ben.

It's a pity that although Big Ben got rid of Malone's defense, he was affected by O'Neal and missed a layup.

Campbell at the basket has quick eyes and quick hands. Taking advantage of O'Neal's attention on himself, he made a tip-up.

Relying on the Pistons to go all out in the first start, the two sides were not pulled apart for a while.

With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, John Hammond replaced Huo Song to try his luck.

But today O'Neal was not replaced in advance, and Huo Song was a little difficult to hit the basket, so he chose to hit the mid-range and rely on Wiggins' shooting bag to eat the subsistence allowance.
