Chapter 143 The inheritance of the center forward, the fans' joy (I wish everyone a happy new year)
O'Neal played the entire first quarter, and was temporarily on the bench at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Pistons got Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace.
Zen Master sent Stanislav Medvedenko to replace O'Neal in the absence of O'Neal, and Malone continued to fight.
But the insider of the Lakers, when they met Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace, it was like a gift.
The outside players of the Pistons are very simple, as long as the dribble does not make a mistake, then break into the inside line, and hand the ball to Huo Song and Rasheed Wallace.
Less than 2 minutes into the second quarter, Zen Master had to send O'Neal ahead of schedule.
Malone was replaced and rested for a while, but Stanislav Medvedenko was a white center with no speed.
Not only did Huo Song single-handedly beat Stanislav Medvedenko without any difficulty, even Rasheed Wallace hit him with whatever he wanted.
"Shaquille O'Neal was suppressed by Huo Song again!"
"It's unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I didn't think that Huo Song and Shaquille O'Neal were at the same level. Now it seems that they are indeed not at the same level."
"It can't be said that, Shaquille O'Neal may be injured! The regular season has been absent due to injury, which shows that there is indeed an injury."
"Well, I think so. In addition to the help of Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace, Huo Song only needs to do offense on the court."
Huo Song only played half a quarter in the second quarter, and his offensive efficiency on the court was far higher than that of O'Neal.
O'Neal played Rasheed Wallace, but Huo Song played Stanislav Medvedenko. They were also singles, and the two were not at all the same level of difficulty.
Huo Song abused food, O'Neal beat hard, Huo Song was naturally more efficient.
Because of this, the Pistons continued to lead in the second quarter, gradually expanding the point difference to 15 points, and even scored 20 points many times.
After Huo Song left the field, Okur was replaced again.
Larry Brown decided to let Big Ben rest for a while, and join Huo Song in the third quarter.
Okur played against O'Neal and acted as a tank center to help Rasheed Wallace relieve the pressure on the defensive end.
In fact, Rasheed Wallace's offensive performance in the second quarter was very average, shooting less than 50%. As a power forward who is good at shooting, this shooting percentage is indeed average.
However, O'Neill was miserable enough to be fought by the wheel.
When Kobe and Fisher came on the court, O'Neal had less possession of the ball.
Running back and forth constantly, getting stuck at the basket and grabbing rebounds, this shouldn't be O'Neal's job.
Who told Malone to get hurt?Malone's mobility has declined, and the confrontation has become insufficient. The Pistons have a clear division of labor, but the Lakers lack help inside.
No one expected that the Pistons continued to lead the second quarter with a big advantage.
This is completely different from the regular season.
In the regular season at the beginning of the game, the Pistons were suppressed by the Lakers and had no power to fight back.
Today's situation is just the opposite. The Lakers are no match for the Pistons inside or outside.
On the surface, the Lakers F4 are star-studded, and the Pistons only have three or two Huosong big cats and kittens.
Now it seems that the Lakers are defeated and vulnerable, and the Pistons are young and vigorous, and they are only targeting the elderly.
The first half of G1 of the finals was excellent, and neither the players nor the coach of the Lakers could adjust quickly. This made Larry Brown overjoyed, but also gave birth to the idea of beating the dog in the water.
Larry Brown realized that there should be a problem within the Lakers. These are not two teams at all in the regular season.
Under normal circumstances, the real strong team will get stronger and stronger in the playoffs, but the Lakers are playing like loose sand.
Anyway something is wrong.
But what does this have to do with the Pistons? The Pistons only need to beat the Lakers and win the championship as a matter of course.
In order to achieve this as soon as possible, at the end of the second quarter, Larry Brown decided to kill his heart and sent Huo Song and Da Ben to the duo ahead of time.
The Zen master must use his strength to his death!Alright, let your OK combination stay on the court!
Isn't it beautiful to kill someone head-on?
There was more than a minute left in the second quarter, and the Pistons lineup was greatly adjusted. Huo Song, Da Ben and Prince played together.
As soon as Huo Song came up, he shot a cold arrow and made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
In fact, O'Neill was on guard against Huo Song, so he was already on the inside.
Who knew that Huo Song had no rules, no tricks, how could he break it?It didn't work out!
O'Neal's body is suitable for squatting at the basket. Huo Song receives the ball, breaks through and usually runs to the corner to shoot a three-pointer. This style of play looks soft, but it is very effective. As long as he can make a three-pointer from the corner, it is very lethal .
As Huo Song helped the Pistons hit a three-pointer again, the point difference on the court once again opened to 20 points.
Come back, the Lakers attack the round.
Kobe pushed Prince, and the latter did not let go. Kobe couldn't make a breakthrough, so he could only take a step back and try to shoot three points outside the three-point line.
At this time, Kobe also had three-pointers, averaging five shots per game and scoring one or two.
Kobe often makes three-pointers when the team is behind, but he often makes three irons.
Now for this three-pointer, Kobe obviously needs to step up first.
Hearing Duang's sound, Huo Song successfully picked up the defensive rebound with the help of Da Ben.
Huo Song didn't pass the ball either, and directly rushed to the frontcourt by himself.
The pass will still be intercepted, but if you dribble the ball yourself, if others want to destroy it, they can only come forward to grab it.
The Lakers played their main players hard. At the end of the second quarter, the main players were at the end of their strength and their physical strength had bottomed out.
O'Neill saw Huo Song dribbling the ball and making a fast break. In order to win the game, he also had to chase, but he couldn't catch up no matter how hard he tried.
Huo Song dribbled the ball across the half court by himself, attracting Kobe and Fisher's defense, and then suddenly threw the ball up the court.
In the last 8 seconds of the second quarter, the Lakers had another chance to attack.
The Pistons returned to the defensive position early, and Mike James pressed Fisher, the ball holder, in an attempt to disrupt the opponent's offense.
The Pistons did not find a chance to steal, but it also delayed the Lakers' dribbling time.
With 4 seconds left in the game, Kobe received the ball outside.
At this time, if you want to send the ball inside, the chance is not very great.
Kobe could only try to score the last goal at the buzzer.
However, Prince also knew that time was running out, so he pressed the last ball.
Prince's long arm was too terrifying, Kobe could only forcefully take off and lean back to find some room for shooting, but in the end it was too difficult to shoot, and then Duang let out a sound.
The little blacksmith in Los Angeles really lives up to his name. He is not in Los Angeles today, but he is still working diligently forging iron.
Because there was not much game time left when Kobe shot, so after the bullet hit the ground, the game time in the second quarter also ran out.
In this way, the first half of the G1 Finals between the Lakers and the Pistons ended 39-62. The Pistons took a 23-point lead in the first half in a crushing situation.
Next, as long as you don't fight indiscriminately, G1's home victory will be easily grasped.
During the break between festivals, Larry Brown also continued to encourage the Pistons players, hoping that everyone can continue to work hard and not relax.
"What is rhythm, what is whether you should shoot or not, I think you should shoot if you should shoot, and I think you can get in if you can!
You are strong players, great players, you can do everything you want to do.
We played poorly in the first half. It was not a matter of strength, I think it was a matter of mentality.
We underestimated the Pistons, we need to rebuild a strong heart.
Maybe you can try meditation.
But for the next third and fourth quarters, I need you to mobilize your spirits more fully, use your bodies, and beat the Pistons hard for me.
do you know?You are the Lakers, you are one of the most powerful teams in the league!
You are the focus of the alliance, the protagonists of the alliance, and the Pistons are at least villains!
Justice will be late, but never absent.Now is your time to show justice. "
On the other side of the Lakers, head coach Phil Jackson is also filling the players with chicken soup.
Jackson tried to mobilize the strength of the players' hearts, but Kobe was impatient all season.
Zen Master is actually not happy with Kobe, but the Lakers are already 23 points behind. The Pistons can only use defense to limit the Lakers to less than 20 points in a quarter. At this time, the Lakers need Kobe, an outside superstar.
Zen Master also knew that in order for O'Neal to play comfortably, Kobe must activate this point.
Just like in the first half, O'Neal played very hard, very hard, efficient, but too tired.
Kobe played in a mess, no matter how strong O'Neal is alone, it's useless.
Of course, the Lakers are now in a critical moment, and it is not only Kobe who needs to be activated, but also Malone, Payton, and other role players.
The game in the third quarter started quickly.
The two sides are almost the same, and the starting lineup is playing.
The main force is dead, nothing more.
However, the Pistons players played for a while as a substitute in the second quarter.
The Lakers also adjusted, but O'Neal played 22 minutes in the first half and Kobe played 18 minutes.
If things go on like this, O'Neill will have to play 45 minutes in today's game.
Huo Song is young, and besides, he played for less than 16 minutes.Daben rested for most of the second quarter, similar to Huo Song, and only played for 15 minutes.
Closer to home, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers played more methodically, just handing the ball to O'Neal.
Under the leadership of O'Neal, the Lakers gradually narrowed the point difference.
As soon as he came up, he played a small climax of 6 to 3.
However, halfway through the third quarter, O'Neal was panting heavily and couldn't move.
While O'Neal's scoring efficiency declined, Kobe also regained his iron.
The Pistons' defense was good, not to mention Larry Brown had Prince guard Kobe early on.
After all, Hamilton's defense is not as strong as Prince's. Keeping more stamina can also consume Kobe on the offensive end.
The Pistons kept the OK combination, and also paid attention to Malone and Payton. The only one missing was Devin George, but he was not Jordan, let alone a savior.
For the Lakers in the third quarter, only Luke Walton is standing up.
Prince is defending against Kobe, and small forward Luke Walton is playing against Hamilton, which has a lot of advantages physically.
But the possession of the ball is too little, a total of four shots, hit three, and then gone.
With less playing time and the main force not giving the ball, the Lakers still want to win?impossible!
"Oh my god, Huo Song dunked Shaquille O'Neal head-on again, Huo Song can really do it!"
"If I remember correctly, Huo Song has already scored 30 points, and Shaquille O'Neal has only 24 points!"
"Yes, that should be the case.
Shaquille O'Neal played longer and took more shots than Huo Song, but still scored less than Huo Song.
In terms of rebounds, Shaquille O'Neal has the advantage, but Huo Song blocks more shots.
To some extent, despite Huo Song's success in singles against Shaquille O'Neal, the two were actually evenly matched. "
"That's right, the two MVPs have almost the same impact in this game. It's really unexpected that Huo Song's performance can explode with Shaquille O'Neal.
Who would have thought that a first-year rookie would be able to compete with three consecutive FMVPs?
Shaquille O'Neal may never have imagined that it was not Tim Duncan, who was also the No. [-] pick, who challenged his low position.
It's from last year's No. [-] pick - Huo Song!
It is also a contest at the center position, which reminds me of Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon in the rookie period. "
"This may be the inheritance! The inheritance of the center! The era of the center will not end."
Huo Song scored more than 10 points in a single quarter. He didn't score 10 points in this quarter, but he already scored 30 points.
Of course, O'Neal's situation is similar, that is, the ball was a little less in the first quarter, and then he lost his strength in the third quarter.
The Pistons withstood the impact of O'Neal in the first half of the quarter. Now during this period, the Lakers will have to pay off their debts.
The Lakers knew that O'Neal's physical strength had bottomed out, and the Zen master was not indifferent. Taking advantage of the next free throw, he replaced O'Neal.
In this way, the Lakers only need to keep an eye on the outside.
Without O'Neal's restraint in the interior, the Pistons should not be too easy to handle the Lakers.
Soon, Huo Song and Da Ben also got the chance to rest.
With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, Rasheed Wallace and Okur continued to fight, but the Pistons quickly pulled the point difference back to 20 points away.
"The Lakers without O'Neal are really fragile!"
"Our inside line is too strong!"
"Huo Song, Double Wallace, whoever wins the inside wins the game, we really hope to win the championship!"
"No. [-] in the regular season is not fake, we can really win!"
Detroit fans were a little disappointed by not making it to the finals last year. They reached the finals this year, and many fans flocked to the Palace of Auburn Hills to watch the game and support the Pistons.
Originally, this was a long-lost experience watching the Finals. Who would have thought that the Pistons would bring them such a big surprise.
From the beginning of the first quarter, the Pistons have been pressing the Lakers who have been invincible in recent years.
The Lakers obviously formed an F4 lineup, but they were still beaten by the Pistons helplessly.
"The strength of the Lakers is false, and it was not unreasonable to lose to the Spurs last year."
"We selected the No. [-] pick that can bring us success and a championship!"
"Haha, good brother Grizzlies, if they keep this No. [-] pick, the consequences are unimaginable.
Pau Gasol loses to Huo Song, and the No. [-] team joins forces. Maybe the team facing the finals this year is the Grizzlies.
Only double Wallace, we may not be their opponents!The Grizzlies' No. [-] pick is too timely. "
Many Pistons fans who watched today's game said so happily.
