(Collection and recommendation, please beg everyone. Today seems to be the birthday of a certain star. I wish you a blessing, haha~~~)
After all, the veteran is a veteran, and he is obviously more experienced than young players. Samuel Durham Porter pushed the ball to his teammate with Andrew Bynum. The one who received the ball was James Percy. After receiving the ball, James Percy transported it two times and passed the half, and handed it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi stabilized his formation. Now it is not the time to play fast attack. The five opponents are in the defensive zone. It is obviously unreasonable to play fast attack. Derek Fisher, the little fish of the past has now become an old fish. Although he is still very hard in defense, it is a pity that defending Zhou Yi's speed skill type still makes Derek Fisher very difficult.
In the first goal of the game, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to choose to attack. After all, the game against the Kings was because of his birthday, and his teammates tried their best to attack. But now it is different, Zhou Yi is not that kind of selfish player.
Zhou Yi looked at the inside, and Da Ben pulled out of the inside and took the initiative to make a pick-and-roll for Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was a little surprised. You should know that in normal times, Greg Monroe, Taylor Hansblu and McGrady were the three of them to cooperate with him. Da Ben rarely cooperated with him, and today he actually came out to play pick-and-roll for himself.
In fact, Zhou Yi didn't know that at first Ben Wallace did not really regard Zhou Yi as his teammate, so he was not interested in Zhou Yi. As for tactical needs, it was all done by Greg Monroe and Taylor Hansblu. However, when Ben Wallace saw Zhou Yi's strength clearly, he truly regarded Zhou Yi as his teammate and took the initiative to come and play a pick-and-roll for Zhou Yi.
After getting help from Da Ben, Zhou Yi even easier to get rid of Derek Fisher's defense. After breaking into the inside, facing Kobe's misaligned defense, Zhou Yi swung his hand and passed it to Prince in the right wing bottom corner. Prince opened his hand and made a three-pointer, and with a "swish", he really made it.
Kobe smiled slightly and gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up. Zhou Yi also felt a little joy in his heart, but then he pressed down his joy and quickly retreated to defend.
After halftime, Derek Fisher passed the ball to Kobe without hesitation. Kobe did not attack, but instead hung the ball to Paul Gasol, who had performed well recently.
After Paul Gasol received the ball, he drove the ball with his back a few times, then shook his hook with his left and right, and the ball also entered.
With a "bang", Zhou Yi missed a jump shot after a quick stop, and Kobe grabbed the backcourt rebound. With a "swish", Paul Gasol hit another goal.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons scored only 14 points. But it cannot be blamed. The two teams fought in the first quarter. The Pistons scored 14 points, while the Lakers scored not high, only 18 points, leading the Pistons 4 points in a single quarter.
In the first quarter, Paul Gasol performed best. Paul Gasol played for nearly ten minutes in the first quarter, scoring 10 points and 6 rebounds. Kobe's offensive desire seemed to be not very strong, but he was happy to hand over the right to fire to the inside players Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol. He only took three shots, hit 2 goals, and scored 4 points. However, in addition, Kobe also gave 4 assists, becoming the Lakers' veritable organizational guard. However, Andrew Bynum did not have the touch of Paul Gasol. He only scored 3 points in the first quarter, but took 6 shots. Even Kobe had to feel very depressed by Andrew Bynum's touch.
On the other hand, the Pistons performed best not with Zhou Yi who has the advantage of speed (compared with the "Old Fish" Derek Fisher), but Techelon Prince. Prince made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter, scored 7 points in two free throws, and also made 5 rebounds and blocks. Zhou Yi made 1 of 3 shots, one of two free throws, and scored 3 points. However, he sent 4 assists, and with such strong defense, it was good to obtain such data.
Moreover, Zhou Yi was substituted after only 7 minutes in the first quarter, so head coach Kuster was still very satisfied with his performance. When Zhou Yi was on the court, defense was the most satisfying thing for Kuster. Zhou Yi restricted Derek Fisher, who was against him, so the Lakers' offensive rotation could hardly be rotated. It was precisely because of Zhou Yi's defense that the Lakers' triangular offense was not fully implemented, so the score gap was not widened.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams still focused on defense. However, the Lakers still had a lead of about 5 points. After Andrew Bynum and Paul Gasol both got out of the field, their strength also declined. Greg Monroe and Chris Wilcox of the Pistons teamed to show their strength, posing a significant threat to the Lakers' inside.
However, Shannon Brown, who replaced Kobe Kobe, seemed to have eaten Viagra and went straight away, otherwise such a small gap would have been caught up by the Pistons long ago.
With 6 minutes left in the second quarter, Pistons head coach John Custer couldn't sit still. Because the score gap had widened to 8 points at this time, all thanks to the Lakers' substitute named Shannon Brown.
At this time, the Lakers also made lineup adjustments, so Pistons head coach John Custer also made adjustments to the lineup. At present, the lineups on both sides are Lakers: Paul Gasol, this year's rookies Derek Carracott, Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher; Pistons: Ben Wallace, Greg Monroe, Techelon Prince, Tracy McGrady and Zhou Yi.
There is a well-written saying in the NBA league that says that those who win the inside will win the world. It is not unreasonable for Lakers owner Jerry Bass to spend so much money every year to spend the inside. Take Paul Gasol as an example. If Paul Gasol did not join, it would be quite difficult for the Lakers to win two consecutive championships with Kobe alone.
At this moment, Paul Gasol is doing his own arbitrary behavior in the Pistons' inside line. Driven by Paul Gasol, the Lakers' offense seems to have recovered, and the Pistons have no strength to fight back. In a blink of an eye, the Lakers expanded their lead to more than double digits.
