NBA: I really just want to make money

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers habitually suddenly increased the intensity of the game, preparing to further expand the advantage of the game, and even use a wave of methods to determine the victory and directly defeat the opponent. Confidence and morale!

This style of play can be said to have repeatedly achieved miraculous results this season, and has almost become the Lakers' magic weapon to win!

Especially Chen Hao and Kobe Bryant’s sudden full-court press coverage....The two men's individual defense capabilities are very good, and their cooperation with each other is extremely tacit. Their on-court suppression has reached a 1+12 effect. They can often lock down the opponent's back line in the third quarter and help the team establish Big advantage.

However, at the beginning of the third quarter of this game, when Chen Hao and Kobe were about to use this tactic, the Pistons were already prepared and took the lead, without the need for Billups and Hamilton to control the ball. Instead, Prince was allowed to control the ball and specifically defend against the Lakers' tactics.

And it has greatly improved the defensive intensity on the field~

It can be seen that as the Lakers' record continues to improve, their tactics and playing style have begun to be studied in depth by other teams and targeted. It can be expected that, The second half of the season will definitely be very difficult for the Lakers, who have the best record in the league.

Every team that wants to strive for a better ranking will definitely formulate some targeted strategies before playing against them.

This is very unfriendly, but there is nothing you can do about it.

After all, everyone is fair, and the Lakers will also target their opponents.

Back to this game~

Compared with the previous two quarters, the Pistons' offensive and defensive actions have become much larger, almost always on the verge of fouling. The court suddenly no longer was as harmonious as before. Skirmishes broke out frequently.

Just like now, Chen Hao was running through the crowd in the penalty area when he was blocked by Rasheed Wallace for a foul. He was pushed and staggered several steps before he could stabilize his center of gravity.

After looking at the referee's position and seeing that he had no intention of calling a penalty, Chen Hao's face darkened. He did not complain about anything and continued his original running route, secretly writing this down in his mind.

But before he could make any move, Odom avenged his push in the following defensive round.

While double-teaming Rasheed Wallace with Kwame Brown, he made a secret move and swatted the basketball away.

This made Roaring Tianzun very unhappy. He immediately shouted to the referee:"The thug fouled!"

But he was ignored directly.

It can only be said that a player’s inherent impression of a referee is really important. Rasheed Wallace talks trash endlessly, has a loud voice, and always likes to attack opponents with his body. The key is that he never How can the referee have a better impression of a player who feels he has done something wrong?

Knowing this, Rasheed Wallace still goes his own way, believing that anyone who is not one of his own must experience his power on the court, whether it is skills, confrontation, or trash talk!

At this time, since the referee did not call a foul, the Lakers' offensive would not stop. Kobe caught the ball and quickly advanced, and in a one-on-one matchup with Chen Hao, he easily broke into the penalty area and scored with two-handed dunks.

There was no celebration, the two just high-fived each other and quickly ran towards their respective defensive targets.

The Pistons had the ball. Billups held the ball steadily against Chen Hao's defense and passed halftime. He glanced at Rasheed Wallace who was eager for the ball in the penalty area. He hesitated and passed the ball. Chen Hao, who had expected it for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and touched the basketball with his fingertips.

Prince reacted quickly, stepped forward to grab the basketball, took two steps, and made a sudden stop for a mid-range shot.

But because he was too impatient, the basketball hit the rim and bounced out. Rasheed Wallace jumped high and overpowered Kwame Brown to grab the offensive rebound. As soon as he landed, But all I felt was that my hand was empty and the basketball had been broken off.

Turning around, the only thing that caught my eye was a not particularly tall figure wearing Lakers No. 0 jersey.

"This bastard~" Ladd whispered.

After receiving the pass near the center line, and just about to break through, Chen Hao was pressed by Billups, and it was a direct physical confrontation.

Unable to get rid of it in a short time, Chen Hao Instead of forcing his own choice, he passed the ball to Odom, who broke through a few steps to attract the attention of the defender and then transferred the ball to Kobe's hands. With

Prince on his back, Kobe feinted After a few clicks, he found the rhythm of the attack, regardless of whether he got rid of the defense or not, he turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper. The basketball drew a very high arc and smashed into the basket.

""Wow~"

Even die-hard fans of the Pistons couldn't help but admire the beauty!

When the Pistons attacked, Odom stepped into the penalty area with the intention of going for a layup, but was directly fouled by Chris Mihm and sent the ball to the penalty area. free throw line

"bang...bang..."

After missing two free throws again, Ben expressed his sadness.

But he didn't notice the frown on his substitute head coach Sanders's face.

Sanders still relies on and appreciates Ben, the team's spiritual leader and defensive barrier, but only on the defensive end. His repeated poor performance on the offensive end shows that the head coach is very dissatisfied.

It has also significantly reduced the number of shots taken by Ben in daily training and tactical arrangements.

This directly led to the fact that Ben took 8.8 shots per game last season. This season, the number of shots dropped significantly to 5.7, and his points dropped from 9.7 to 7.3.

For Ben, who has always had a high-spirited mind, this change made him very dissatisfied.

In the attack just now, he once again acted against the coach's wishes.

In this regard, the rest of the Pistons basically stood on Ben's side, which further aggravated Sanders' unhappiness.

But now is obviously not the time for internal strife. We still have to find a way to defeat the Lakers and maintain the winning streak.

Only by achieving certain results can he overwhelm the bad boys in the Pistons.���Only by explaining to the team's management can your coaching position be more stable.

Once you have achieved results in this team that others cannot deny, the resistance to making changes at certain levels will be much smaller.

At the same time, the competition on the field became more and more intense.

Every time Kobe breaks into the penalty area, he will receive special care from all members of the Pistons. He can only rely on free throws and passes to help the player.

As the team's second scoring point, Hamilton has been following Chen Hao. While chattering incessantly, his hands are not particularly clean.

Not only the masked man, Billups also stepped forward from time to time to double-team or make up defense.

This means that Chen Hao has never had a good chance. Even though he has been running non-stop on the court, Hamilton, who also has the attribute of being immortal, can always follow closely, even if Sometimes if he is hindered and unable to keep up, Billups will immediately step forward to defend.

In the absence of any open three-pointers, Chen Hao often had to rely on his personal breakthrough ability to try to score, but every time he received special care from Rasheed Wallace, regardless of his verbal abuse and violent play. The problem is, this guy's defensive ability is indeed very strong.

In desperation, Chen Hao could only break into the penalty area and pass the ball out.

After personally experiencing this almost suffocating defensive atmosphere, Chen Hao finally understood why only a strong defense can win the championship!

Fortunately, Odom's habitual recovery in the third quarter. Although Kobe often seems a bit iron-clad, he is never soft at critical moments.

Even if he is fouled, he will immediately throw the ball away and look for free throw opportunities.

In this way, the game passed minute by minute, and the scores on the field increased alternately.

And I don’t know if I got some instructions or because I am used to coaching games at the Pistons’ home court. The referee’s penalty standards today seemed very loose. Many actions that were regarded as fouls during the regular season were rationalized today.

It was as if what was going on now was not an ordinary regular season, but a playoff game.

Regarding this situation, the Lakers naturally would not suffer a loss in vain, and directly responded in the same way.

Fortunately, the referee was fair and did not call the shots on both sides. This made the scene look very intense, with various physical confrontations, various small moves, all kinds of trash talk, and from time to time, it was transmitted to everyone's ears through the loudspeaker equipment. The sound of muscles clashing.

Everything is exciting!

In the minds of most fans, this is the most fascinating part of basketball.

But because of the extremely high intensity of the confrontation, the shooting percentages of both teams could only be considered average. Until the end of the third quarter, neither side scored more than 20 points in a single quarter. The Lakers scored 19 points, while the Pistons scored slightly less. Better, 20 points were recorded.

After three quarters, the Lakers led the Pistons by 71:67.

Such a small lead is extremely unsafe.

But when the main starters were exhausted, both sides made major changes to their lineups at the beginning of the final quarter.

There is no way. If we continue to let the very tired starting players play, not only will their competitive status be average, but they will also have a great risk of injury. It is not the playoffs, so it is not worth the effort. The substitutes hit the field, and the Pistons occupied the With the upper hand, McDyess became the most outstanding player on the court. He succeeded in the inside attack time and time again, helping the team gradually catch up with the point difference......

If Brian Cook hadn't hit a three-pointer at a critical moment to help the team stabilize the situation, I'm afraid the game advantage that was finally accumulated on the court would have been directly ruined ~

Phil, who understands that his substitute is not strong ·Jackson replaced Odom on the court in advance. After the left-handed Magic came on the court, the Lakers at least have an offensive core on the court, and they will no longer be like headless flies passing the blame around like before.

Thinking of this, the Zen master couldn't help but look at Kobe and Chen Hao, who were sitting together and observing the game on the court attentively, and finally settled on the latter.

In the past month, Chen Hao has almost always played the role of organizer and offensive core in the substitute lineup. He has performed very well. He can always lead the team to face strong opponents, maintain the point difference, and wait until Kobe comes on the court to take over the game.

But in this game, due to constant running and constant physical confrontation, Chen Hao's physical energy was obviously exhausted and he could no longer shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the team. This is undoubtedly a great regret.~

"It would be great if Hao's physical fitness were better~" Phil Jackson thought with expectation.

Then he laughed and shook his head. It can be said that a first-year rookie can achieve such a level, which can be said to be unbelievable. Now, if I have any more demands, it would be a bit unkind.

With Chen Hao's progress, if he is given another two seasons, how strong will the Lakers' defense line be!?

Thinking of this, Phil Jackson began to feel Thinking about it.

At this time, Chen Hao was a little confused. Among the skills he has learned so far, there are still two skills that have not been upgraded to the top level.

One is the B-level skill that improves open three-point shooting. It is now Lv4. Because it was already enough, Chen Hao did not improve it anymore, and planned to save money to buy a skill to strengthen his body.

The other one is the S-level skill perpetual motion machine that is of great help to Chen Hao. It is currently only LV2. If he wants To upgrade to a level, you need to pay up to 8 million system money, which is not a small amount.

For Chen Hao, who is planning to purchase SS-level skills, once he upgrades the perpetual motion machine again, he may have to play nearly 10 more games. Usually, he needs to maintain a high frequency of"playing" Kobe's wool every day in order to save enough money for new skills.

Thinking of this, Chen Hao suppressed the idea of upgrading his existing skills. With his current physical fitness and three-pointer His shooting ability is enough to play on the court. What is lacking most now is the improvement of his physical fitness.

I don’t want to be bullied with my body anymore!

In my mind, the duel on the court continues. Odom’s performance in the first three quarters His sense of presence is very low. Under Ben's close surveillance, he almost didn't score. Now that the opponent is resting off the court, the left-handed magician said that he was finally liberated.

Within a few rounds, he continued to use his personal ability to impact the Pistons. Inside.

McDyess, who had beaten Bynum violently, was now pinned to the ground and beaten by Odom. Whether it was footwork flexibility, technical comprehensiveness, height and weight, or physical fitness, they all occupied or With more or less advantages, Odom really couldn't find anything to lose.

The Lakers completely stabilized the situation!

It wasn't until Ben came on the court that Odom became a lot more honest and began to constantly assist his teammates. The score ensured that the Lakers still maintained a weak lead on the court.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Lakers and the Pistons had a tacit understanding and replaced all their main players on the court. The current score is 81:78, the Lakers are in front and the Pistons are in the back.!

There are still 6 minutes and 48 seconds left in the game. The moment to decide the outcome of the game has arrived.~~~
