"Bruce, good defense." When Hill scored Bowen again and scored a difficult layup, Bryant gave Bowen a thumbs up.
"It's just defense!" Harris yelled from the sidelines.
Bowen, who was a little downcast at first, seemed to be rejuvenated again. My efforts made my teammates and coaches look in my eyes.
Hill's first step was too fast, and even Kobe was not sure to guard against every offensive of his, Bowen could have followed him very well.
It can be said that the current Hill, no need to double, no five players in the league can limit him to less than 50% hit rate, this efficiency is too horrible.
And once wrapped up, the horizon is wide, and the excellent organization ability Hill can immediately drive the entire team's offense.
This is the Pistons' plot.
Yangmou built on the first step of Hill without solution.
Hill has no solution, O'Neill also has no solution for the Pistons.
Once Kobe steadily jammed the ball to O'Neill inside and out under Joe Dumas's interference, the Pistons' defense was disintegrated.
The inside line of the Pistons is too old, and Theo Latrive is too young. Both and O'Neal have no way to take the position.
This gave O'Neill a chance to show his strength. He shot 6 of 8 in the quarter and 5 of 2 free throws to score 14 points and 4 rebounds. He ruled the penalty area.
It can be said that the first quarter was a duel between Hill and O'Neal. Hill was 5 of 7 and scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. The Lakers' resolute single defense prevented him from connecting the entire team.
Kobe Bryant only scored in a fast break in the first quarter.
The other players on both sides are basically in a scene of the match, Campbell and Thorpe are entangled together. Dumas and Jones are entangled. Kobe Bryant and Lynch Hunt didn't make any shots, but they were all attacking together.
The tactics of the two teams are very obvious, that is, let the superstar singles, until you hit the envelope.
And the two sides are not the same but different, and there has been no entrapment. At this time, who is more efficient than the superstar in scoring.
End of the first quarter 25:24. The Lakers lead by 1 point.
The Lakers' three muskets that came off the bench, Van Exel, Fisher and Horry made a tumult, allowing Grant Hill, who had only rested for three minutes, to play again.
Hill faced Horry's defense, still one step!
Simple acceleration will make Holly clean and lead the team to overtake the score.
At the end of the second quarter, both sides changed all starters at the same time.
Kobe looked at the score, 42:45 behind three points, 6 minutes left.
Dumas saw Kobe only passing in the first quarter. He couldn't stop Kobe from passing, so he could not help relaxing Kobe's defense.
Bryant saw Dumas' slackness at a glance and shot three points.
Shot in and equalized the score.
Offensive and defensive conversion, Grant Hill tossed around and slammed into the basket.
Kobe discovered that Hill's movements are becoming more and more cumbersome, because the simple movements and techniques Bowen has become more and more accustomed to, Hill's advanced skills will definitely consume more of his physical fitness.
After attracting the attention of Dumas, Kobe regained his invisibility again, and when Dumas was distracted, he immediately attacked again.
This makes the old Dumas very uncomfortable. Originally, Dumas was the Pistons' second attacker. He needs to stand up to share Grant Hill's offensive pressure.
But Eddie Jones' defense against Dumas is in place. Eddie Jones is 7 centimeters taller than Dumas. His defense is based on his physical talent.
Excellent lateral movement, agile speed, plus the advantage of height and arm span make Dumas very uncomfortable.
In addition to defending Kobe on the defensive end, this is too difficult for a 36-year-old veteran.
"Isaiah, you lost." There are still 3 minutes in the second quarter, the Pistons are still leading by 2 points, but the magician bit the game result.
"Not necessarily." Of course, Thomas can see the situation. Hill and O'Neal have a win or lose against Biao, but the other players on the team have been completely suppressed.
Kobe controlled the rhythm of the game, like a patient killer waiting for the beast to struggle, exhausting his physical energy to reveal the flaw, the blow was fatal.
This way of playing is too old-fashioned, shouldn't it be the young players that should be sent downwind?
Thomas felt that he was not as old as Kobe's style before he was 30 years old.
"Kobe is the player who is most like me, and Allen Iverson, who is most like you, was also repaired by Kobe the day before yesterday."
"Kobe is like a dead fat man to you, he is obviously more like Jordan!"
"Perhaps more like Jordan playing point guard."
The second quarter ended steadily under Kobe's field control. The Lakers trailed by 3 points at 55:58.
But this is already a battle of trapped beasts, Hill and Dumas both showed fatigue.
Hill scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-of-12 shooting in the first half.
Dumas only scored 7 points and 1 assist on 3 of 8 shots.
Thorpe scored 4 points and 6 rebounds in 7 of 2 and Campbell finally suffocated for a while.
Correspondingly, O'Neal made 8 of 12 points with 18 points and 5 rebounds. It is a pity that he only made 2 of 6 free throws.
Bryant's 6 in 4 scored 9 points and 7 assists! This is his new half-time assists high, I believe that the end of this game assists will inevitably double.
Kobe Bryant asserted that if the Pistons 'second head is the old Dumas, then they cannot have the opportunity to break through the second round ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Pistons' advantages and disadvantages are too obvious.
The advantage is that they have a nearly unsolved Grant Hill.
The disadvantage is that as long as Hill can be defended alone, the Pistons' attack will be stalled. It is impossible for the elderly Dumas alone to liberate Hill from the strong team.
The third quarter soon began. Kobe controlled the offense and defense steadily. The rhythm was not fast or slow. It happened to be a positional battle, and it would not give Hill too much rest time.
Starting a fast break, O'Neill's lethality will be reduced by 2 grades, and the pace is too slow, Hill can save physical strength.
This degree is very difficult to grasp.
Fortunately, Kobe has 20 years of professional experience. Under his control, O'Neill continued to play bravely.
Contrary to this, Hill also hit high difficulty goals continuously in front of Bowen.
Grant Hill played the third quarter, and even prepared to play the fourth quarter!
Hill of course knew that the Lakers' strategy for him was to use up a wave of energy and take away.
But he firmly believes that he can play a good enough performance! And struck Kobe's counterattack at the end!
This is the confidence of a superstar, the confidence of a Hall of Fame player.
The next break is impossible, the bench will give up his hard-won lead.
Don't want to lose, then play a big enough difference when the Lakers are resting!
At the end of the third quarter, Grant Hill faced Horry's buzzer and threw a three-pointer that he was not good at, struggling to punch.
Score rating 73:84. The Pistons led 11 points.
This is a big difference for the current rhythm of the game.
Hill stared at Kobe sitting steadily on the bench.
So now, is this script still as you wish?
