basketball never sleeps

Chapter 44 You have the ability to throw the ball!

Payton could still score 15+5 in the regular season, but his skin was revealed in the playoffs. His average data dropped directly to 9+4, and he no longer looked like a superstar.

But Payton still has the temperament of a superstar.

But you fucked Ma Long before, do you really think you are so awesome?

Payton, who focused all his energy on the defensive end, was like a mad dog, biting Mo Wen crazily, trying to hit Mo Wen even if he didn't have the ball.

Mo Wen didn't get used to him either. He hit people while playing ball.

The confrontation between the two on the court was even more intense than the confrontation between players holding the ball.

"Is this how you usually play basketball?"

Mo Chuang curiously asked Bosh next to him, "This is a pinch and a trip. Isn't it just a stick to fight with swinging arms and elbows?"

Bosh was also dumbfounded. He didn't know how to explain it. The people playing on the wild court were not that wild.

"Both Xiao Mo and Peyton worked very hard. Don't tell me, this is how we have to play in the finals! Xiao Wang, please don't miss the camera, these are precious records."

Zhang Weiping on the sidelines looked at the scene with excitement and excitement. This is the kind of competition between men.

Many Chinese viewers who had never watched basketball also watched Mo Wen play in front of the TV, and then they discovered that this so-called "playing basketball" seemed different from the playing in their minds.

The referee didn't care. Mo Wen and Payton seemed to be fighting fiercely, but they still stayed awake. At least they acted like they were playing basketball and didn't panic.

After only playing half a quarter, Mo Wen and Payton were already soaked in sweat when they came off the field.

Lifting up his clothes, he could clearly see several red marks. Mo Wen thought for a moment that the potential rough stone he would obtain later would have to fully increase his injury resistance. Then he asked Hueman to help him find two exclusive masseurs. Fighting Qi

It felt so good for a while, but there was a crematorium underneath the venue.

Mo Wen, who played 6 minutes in the second quarter, scored 3 of 5 shots, 6 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound. It looked pretty good, but after Payton came on the court, his efficiency was only 1 of 3 shots, which is not very high.

.

The Pistons as a whole only tied with the Lakers at 41:41.

But the hidden dangers in this so-called "tie" are very clear to the coaching staff on both sides.

O'Neal came off the court and rested for 3 minutes in the first half. Malone only rested for 4 minutes despite being injured. Kobe didn't rest for a minute. Payton took the most rest, but how much offensive ability does he have left?

The Zen master knew it, but he didn't dare to change it.

The depth of the Lakers' bench is far worse than the depth of the Lakers' bench during the three consecutive championships of Kobe Bryant.

If you don't change the starting lineup, you will die slowly. If you change the starting lineup, you may die on the spot.

In the third quarter, O'Neal could still maintain high efficiency. His free throws today were rare and accurate. In the first three quarters, he made 5 of 6 free throws. The Pistons were unable to kill the Sharks even if they wanted to. Rasheed and Ben were unable to guard against the two-way attack.

If you are accurate, O'Neal is invincible.

But under the Pistons' forward defense, it was not easy for O'Neal to catch the ball, especially when Kobe Bryant also had a strong desire to attack.

It's not that Kobe is the only one. This is also the Zen Master's order to reduce O'Neal's physical exertion as much as possible, use O'Neal's influence in the interior more, and let Kobe, who has better physical fitness, play more.

Fortunately, Larry Brown was stubborn and allowed the Pistons to play at the same offensive pace as before. If the Pistons had played a little faster, O'Neal would never have been able to survive the fourth quarter with his current weight and stamina.

Mo Wen played for 8 minutes in this quarter. Devin George had no offensive ability, and the Lakers' backup small forward Rush was in average condition today. Kobe didn't play much in the pick-and-roll, and there was no single-defense pressure on the wing. Larry Brown

There are not so many worries about substitutions.

After the Pistons let Mo Wen play the main offense for 4 rounds, Jackson couldn't help but put Payton in front of Mo Wen. Devin George acted like air in front of Mo Wen, but it was not much different.

Devin George is better suited to guard against Artest, a beast with average skills but strong body. He practices with Kobe every day. He is good at guarding backs, but Mo Wen can't guard him well unless he fights against him. His

His defensive judgment ability is extremely poor, and his defense of changes of direction and pick-and-rolls is completely unqualified on the finals stage. It just so happens that Mo Wen, who is weak in confrontation, is the main coach of changes of direction and pick-and-rolls in the copy space.

Mo Wen made 2 of 4 shots in a single quarter, plus a foul on a thug, and easily scored 6 points; Kobe fought against Hamilton in various post-ups, and used all his skills to face double teams.

He scored 6 points on 3 of 8 shots. If Jackson didn't replace him, Kobe would have wanted to kill someone.

In the second half of the third quarter, as "F4"'s physical fitness declined, the Lakers' efficiency became lower and lower, and the point difference began to widen little by little. By the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams had reached 67:60.

, the Pistons led by 7 points.

Most of the commentators in the studio are still more optimistic about the Lakers. Even if the other three Lakers giants except Payton did not rest for a minute in the third quarter, they still believe that the Lakers can exert the power of "will" in the fourth quarter and use their superstars in key situations.

The effect of time was to smooth out the point difference and win the home victory.

The fans on the sidelines were still cheering loudly for the Lakers players, and the Lakers players also had fight-to-death expressions on their faces.

"Can you still hold on, a big truck?"

"You're just kidding, how could labor and management stop before we reach the finish line!"

Ma Long, who was still applying an ice pack before, pretended to stamp his feet, and his knee, which was feeling better, started to hurt again.

The Pistons players were much more rude. Ben took the lead and formed a circle and shouted, "Fuck those bastards!"

Dumas looked at the camera on the sidelines like a thief, and covered his heart. Don't do it, brothers, you will be fined!

In the fourth quarter, the shouts of Lakers fans became louder and louder, but the score difference between the two teams did not narrow.

The Lakers' triangle offense was blunted by the Pistons' iron-barrel formation, and several superstars tried their best but failed to narrow the point difference between the two teams.

Finally, when the final whistle sounded, many fans covered their heads and couldn't believe that the Lakers lost like this.

The magician in the studio stopped talking during the second half of the fourth quarter. He just sat there with his hair tied and listened to Buckley and Smith's explanations. From time to time, the director even gave him a close-up of his numb face, which was very effective in the show.

Kobe gave the Pistons a big gift in the first game, shooting 10 of 27 from the field, tying Artest's playoff record this season.

O'Neal is very strong, you have the ability to take the ball and shoot it!

Of course, O'Neal's failure to catch the ball in this game is not the fault of Nagging. The main reason is that the others are too tough. Malone made 2 of 9, Payton made 1 of 5, and Fisher made 1 of 8.

Malone held the ball in one step from the three-point line, and Rasheed stood directly in front of O'Neal. Malone just couldn't make the shot.

When Kobe Bryant was playing singles on the weak side, the Pistons' two big men didn't push forward, so they guarded O'Neal on the left and right, trying not to let him catch the ball.

O'Neal, who shot 80% from the field, couldn't catch the ball, and Jackson was also desperate.

Looking back at the Pistons, Billups shot 8 of 14 and scored 22 points on 4 of 5 free throws. Rasheed scored 14 points on 3 of 4 and 6 free throws. Prince scored 10 points on 4 of 8 plus free throws.

, Ben made 3 of 7, and Hamilton’s worst shooting percentage in the starting lineup was 5 of 16, and he still scored in double figures.

On the bench, Mo Wen made 6 of 11 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 15 points, the second highest score among the entire Pistons. For a one-year player, this performance was perfect.

In many domestic canteens, after the game, there is a spectacle of steamed buns flying everywhere.

"Win, win! Piston Beer, Mogo Beef!"

"Too strong, too awesome. With 15 points in the finals, Brother Mo is definitely the number one forward in China!"

"What the hell, don't eat anymore, let's go play basketball, brothers!"

Many students in primary and secondary schools who had physical education classes in the afternoon were still looking forward to the happy hours on the playground, but they were greeted by their head teacher who looked proud.

"Your physical education teacher is busy this afternoon, so this class will be temporarily changed to Chinese (math/English) class."

But the sound of basketball coming from downstairs made the students feel that their IQs had been insulted.

"The teacher lied. The PE teacher was playing basketball down there, and I heard it!"

The classmate who was leaning against the window poked his head, hey, that person standing on the basketball court is not their physical education teacher.

Get up late, see, this is the disadvantage of going to bed late and getting up late.
