377 Pistons VS Pacers (1)

422.

Win, the championship will be won, and lose will be tiebreaker (Part 2)

Zhou Yi suddenly started to accelerate, taking advantage of the purest, simplest, most direct and most perfect "speed" to take his first step to the right, and quickly took his subsequent steps, wanting to break through Kobe's defense line with his own "fast".

At the same time as Zhou Yi started, Kobe also activated. He accelerated almost at the same time as Zhou Yi, followed Zhou Yi closely, and entangled Zhou Yi, preventing the latter from increasing his speed to the fastest, nor giving the latter the chance to take action.

After entering the inside, Zhou Yi saw that he could not get rid of Kobe, so he stopped and turned his back to Kobe.

After Zhou Yi's back to Kobe and got the ball twice, Kobe relaxed a little and relaxed his defense against Zhou Yi a little. However, it was his relaxation that made him face a very serious punishment.

Zhou Yi started again, he quickly turned right, using his body and small movements that were not easy to detect, blocking Kobe behind him, and in the shortest time he increased his speed to the highest level, directly attacking the Lakers' penalty area.

Seeing that Zhou Yi had already arrived at the team's basket, the nearest Lakers power forward Paul Gasol could only let go of Greg Monroe and hurried back to make up for defense, trying to stop Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi rushed to Paul Gasol without hesitation. He pushed the racket hard with his right hand and let the ball fly from Paul Gasol's crotch to Greg Monroe who was getting a cell phone.

"Well, Zhou!" After receiving the ball, Greg Monroe said this sentence in ecstasy, and while calling it, he jumped on the spot, and poured the basket with his hands vigorously with his hands.

"Bang!" The roar of the basket merged with Greg Monroe's beast roar echoed throughout the field, causing the fans' heartbeat to be beat again, and instinctively made a burst of cheers.

For a moment, all kinds of shouts came out from different fans, including old and young, male and female. They were all excited for Zhou Yi and Greg Monroe's wonderful cooperation.

"Zhou!" After landing, Swift ran to Zhou Yi with a very pleasant smile, expressed his mood at the moment with the simplest movement, and slapped Zhou Yi to celebrate.

Kobe stared at Zhou Yi's gradually moving back with no expression on his face, and he was very calm.

Kobe received a pass from his teammate Paul Gasol from outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, he immediately lowered his center of gravity and prepared for the offense. His other teammates ran away one after another, opening avenue for him and giving him a spacious space to play.

Zhou Yi opened his arms again and stared at Kobe quietly like a lurking beast, expressionless.

Kobe narrowed his eyes, then suddenly opened up, and two cold and pissed gazes were shot out, and his body also made movements that surprised Zhou Yi at the same time.

Kobe slapped his right hand and moved his footsteps. His body and the ball broke through Zhou Yi's defense at the same time, but Zhou Yi himself could only widen his eyes full of surprise.

Because Kobe directly hit the ball on Zhou Yi's cross and made the basketball fly over easily from his cross.

Kobe crossed the latter's defensive range from Zhou Yi's left, and at the same time received a basketball, dribbling the ball into the empty penalty area of ​​the Pistons.

Kobe's breakthrough can be said to be the same as the ball that Zhou Yi passed to Greg Monroe just in seconds. The difference is that Zhou Yi passed the ball, while he broke through by himself.

"Damn it, I'm careless..."

Zhou Yi secretly shouted that he was not good and hurriedly turned around and chased Kobe, while the other Pistons players were also running to the inside at this time, and they all wanted to stop Kobe.

However, how could Kobe, who succeeded in breaking through, easily let others catch up with him?

So, when other Pistons players started, Kobe had already increased his speed to the maximum and stepped across the free throw line, facing the Pistons' basket.

The only person closest to Kobe is Zhou Yi, who has already chased Kobe to the right.

Kobe suddenly glanced at Zhou Yi with the corner of his eyes, and a sneered at the corner of his mouth.

Kobe gritted his teeth, took three big steps to collect the ball, jumped into the air under the basket, and held his hands raising the ball while taking off.

"Bang", Kobe's slam dunk drove the atmosphere of the whole audience.

Another ironclad sound, Greg Monroe happily accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Yodi Meeks's hand.

Through the confrontation with Derek Fisher, Yodi Meeks learned that although Derek Fisher's strength is not weak, his speed and agility are far inferior to before, especially his defense ability and physical strength have great problems. Yodi Meeks believes that he will no longer have much trouble breaking through Derek Fisher now.

Seeing Yody Meeks going to rush over to make a layup from him again, Derek Fisher was not happy and hugged Yody Meeks. He used a foul to limit Yody Meeks to score easily. Derek Fisher was quite conscious. But then he thought about it, Derek Fisher understood that he could not use fouls to limit him!

At this time, Kobe walked to Derek Fisher and whispered to him: "Leave that rookie to me!"

After hearing Kobe's words, Derek Fisher nodded happily.

The Pistons served the sideline ball, and as soon as Yodi Meeks received the ball, Kobe followed him. Yodi Meeks was shocked. Could it be Kobe who was defending me? But Yodi Meeks was not at all panic. He was naturally very excited to be able to fight with the best player in the current service. The fighting spirit in his heart became stronger and had reached the highest point.

However, the rookie is a rookie after all, so when he fights with Kobe, the best player in the league, Yodi Meeks is still a little nervous. Yodi Meeks dribble under his crotch, which seems not as skillful as before. Kobe has such rich experience. He took the ball like lightning and directly pulled it off.

After breaking the ball, Kobe ran straight away with the ball, rushed to the Pistons' basket, and scored a slam dunk with his hands behind his back.

Yodi Meeks wiped the sweat from his forehead helplessly, and then ran to his half to prepare for the serve. After receiving the ball, Yodi Meeks took a deep breath, then slowly spit out, stabilizing his rhythm.

"You must be calm, otherwise you will still have flaws." Yodi Meeks muttered in his heart.

After halftime, Yodi Meeks calmly scanned the whole game. At this time, McDilla came up and walked around Yodi Meeks. Yodi Meeks handed the player directly to McDie's hands, and then made a pick-and-roll for McDie and blocked Derek Fisher, who was defending McDie.

After McGrady did not defend, she increased her speed to the fastest, rushed into the Lakers' inside line, then dunked with both hands, and caused Paul Gasol to foul.

This ball was played very beautifully and was inseparable from Yodi Meeks' clever cooperation.

Today, the commentator of this game was Yao Ming's mentors Jeff Van Gundy and Reggie Miller. After all, this was a national live game, so the commentary of both of them was very formal.

What made the Pistons players more happy was that Pistons' owner Bill Davidson and general manager Joe Dumas also came to the scene to watch the game.

Therefore, when McGrady completed this slam dunk, the Pistons seemed extremely excited, including Pistons' owner Bill Davidson and General Manager Joe Dumas. Even the Pistons' owner and general manager were so excited, not to mention Pistons' fans.

The Pistons fans are now shouting McGrady's name and cheering for the Pistons players.

“t-mac…”

Lakers head coach "Zen Master" Phil Jackson did not react much when he saw Paul Gasol receive another foul, but he just frowned slightly, but did not replace him. Paul Gasol has only received two fouls so far, so Phil Jackson is not in a hurry to replace him.

McGrady made a free throw and made a free throw.

With all the main players, Phil Jackson still sat there watching the game with no concern, as if you never saw a trace of panic in his face. Of course, if the referee kept staring at the Lakers' inside whistle, he would jump up and get angry. If the "Zen Master" doesn't get angry, he is also afraid of people when he starts to get angry.

Now that the Lakers are still leading, he naturally has the mood to sit there and watch the game and chew gum leisurely.

Kobe was in control of the ball, McGrady pressed it tightly and kept using small movements to interfere with Kobe. However, these did not make Kobe make mistakes. Kobe dribbled behind the ball, pulled the ball to the left and jumped directly to the ball. With a "swish", the basketball fell into the basket in a flowing manner.

The Pistons did not play in the next wave of attacks. Paul Gasol grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Derek Fisher. Derek Fisher passed the ball through the half, and then saw Kobe's upward gesture and quickly threw the ball into the upper right air of the basket. However, the ball passed a little, and Kobe was not very comfortable to catch.

But even so, he still completed the air relay in the air. However, because he did not cooperate well, it was not an all-access dunk, but a simple aerial layup. But although this was just a simple aerial layup, it was very difficult. After Kobe completed this layup, the difficulty was also because the cooperation was too difficult, and his body lost its center of gravity and fell from mid-air. Fortunately, Kobe had a strong sense of protection, so he was not injured.

Yodi Meeks still has an advantage in speed. After all, he is young, and Kobe is already in his thirties and no longer has his original speed. Therefore, compared with these rookies who are famous for their speed, they are also slightly inferior.

Because he mastered his mentality, he was no longer as nervous as before. He dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, and then threw Kobe away with a crossover. Seeing Kobe breaking through, Derek Fisher immediately came over to assist Yodi Meeks. Seeing Derek Fisher pounced over, Yodi Meeks was not in a hurry. A relaxed pass from behind was handed over to McGrady in the distance. McGrady received the ball and scored 2 points steadily.

Seeing that Yodi Meeks actually broke through Kobe and had a beautiful cooperation with McGrady, especially when seeing Yodi Meeks' relaxed and clever pass from behind, there was another burst of cheers on the scene.

Seeing the situation on the court slowly changing, Yody Meeks also felt that some problems had occurred in the Lakers' defense. For example, in the goal just now, although Kobe was very hard to defend, he stopped chasing after half a position behind him. After Derek Fisher came to assist in defense, McGrady behind him had no one to make up for the defense. He led a few points, causing the Lakers players to slack off. There may be another reason, that is, the Lakers' physical strength problem. After all, these two games were away games, so the Lakers' poor defense may also be the reason for this.

However, although the defense has been a little slackened, the Lakers' offense is still so sharp. Kobe received the ball at a high position, broke through McGrady, faced Yodi Meeks's backup defense, and then made a fake move, then turned around and jumped back to make a jump shot. With a "swish", another hollow shot was entered into the net.

"It's good to defend!" After the ball just now, Kobe looked at Yodi Meeks and laughed and said to him.

The goal just now, Yodi Meeks made a good defense, and McGrath had no way to stop Kobe. When Kobe broke through, Yodi Meeks made a quick comeback. Although Yodi Meeks made a good defense and the timing of blocking shots was good, Kobe's backward jump shot was too powerful, so Yodi Meeks did not defend him.

Samuel Durhamport's jump shot made Andrew Bynum, who had not defended, had no choice. Seeing Samuel Durhamport's hand feel hot, Yodi Meeks was also happy to pass the ball into his hand and let him attack.

Seeing that the Pistons have slowly caught up with the score, to be honest, the Lakers are also a little worried. However, at the critical moment, they can hand the ball over to their team's boss Kobe, who has not yet gotten angry!

When Kobe stepped past James Percy's defense in one step, Yodi Meeks immediately made up.

Yodi Meeks' steps are very agile and very agile, so Kobe's singles are also difficult to play Yodi Meeks. But this is not a problem for Kobe. He is one of the most sharp offensive players in the league. Kobe's singles against Yodi Meeks, hit Yodi Meeks twice, then turned around and used his killer move to use his trump card to shoot back. However, under Yodi Meeks' strict defense, Kobe's fallback jump shot failed, and Yodi Meeks was a little happy.

However, the rebound was snatched by Paul Gasol and the second offense was scored.

Fortunately, Samuel Durhamport also responded to his opponent with a jump shot from the penalty area.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe cut from the left wing with the ball, used Andrew Bynum's pick-and-roll to get rid of Yodi Meeks' defense and successfully broke into the inside. Facing Samuel Durham Porter's penalty area defense, Kobe did not retreat at all, and directly shook the latter, a beautiful basket pick. Unfortunately, this basket pick did not hit, and the rebound was snatched by Samuel Durham Porter.

Kobe looked at the basket depressedly, made a shooting gesture, and shook his head.

In the third quarter, the Pistons lost Zhou Yi and their strength in the backcourt was greatly reduced.

Although Yodi Meeks, who replaced Zhou Yi, performed well, this could not make up for Zhou Yi's value. The team made mistakes because they lost Zhou Yi, the team's catalyst, and their hit rate plummeted.

In contrast to the Pistons, Kobe of the Lakers completely broke out in the third quarter, scoring 13 points in six minutes with seven shots and six shots, helping the Lakers to achieve a 17:8 climax and directly overtake the score.

Afterwards, Andrew Bynum repeatedly beat Spencer Hawyce, and the rest of the Lakers also exploded with the team's two core members, and the overall shooting percentage increased to about 50%.

At the critical moment, if McGrady hadn't stood up again, used her personal ability to make two consecutive three-pointers and scored a strong shot at the basket, the gap between the two teams might have widened to double digits.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the third quarter, the score between the two teams had become 87:82, with the Lakers leading the Pistons by 5 points.

"Friends, the third quarter is over. In this quarter, the Pistons' performance was not ideal, with a shooting percentage of only 37.4%. However, the Lakers are as high as 49%, which is nearly 12 percentage points higher. Now, the Lakers lead the Pistons with 87:82. In the fourth quarter, if the Pistons don't want to find a way to improve their shooting percentage, then this game will definitely be lost. In addition, Zhou Yi, who has not played in the third quarter, should also return to the court in the fourth quarter. At that time, we will definitely see the peak showdown between him and Kobe again. Okay, don't go away. After the advertisement, we will continue to live broadcast the two sides' last quarter games for you..."

The rest time passed quickly. With the whistle sounding at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the players on both sides returned to the court again. Among the players on the Pistons, there was Zhou Yi who played with injuries.

In the fourth quarter, the Pistons players chased after Zhou Yi, who was returning, and bombarded the Lakers' baskets across the board, but the Lakers were not disturbed by the violent bombing of the Pistons. They always attacked and defended in an orderly manner, maintaining a high shooting percentage.
