227. The first part of the crazy end(2/2)
If the opportunity was created when the start was created, Zhang Hao planned to do it himself. When Grant Hill rushed forward, he made a decisive move without wavering. The touch felt good and he scored.
This ball made the teammates who were a little impatient after becoming active and felt a little relaxed, and they were no longer as tense as they were when they first came on the court.
This is what a dependent star should do, Zhang Hao did it!
Be serious and positive, but this is a bit late after the score was overtaken.
Originally, a break between sessions can theoretically have the effect of interrupting the rhythm of the Pistons.
But in the first minute of the fourth quarter, Joe Dumas and Terry Mills scored a three-pointer one after another, and the Pistons' confidence in shooting from outside suddenly increased!
Joe Dumas returned to the shooting guard position this year, and has made 2.4 three-pointers with a 42% three-point shooting percentage, while Terry Mills has made 2.1 three-pointers with a 44% three-point shooting percentage.
The two of them scored goals from the upstairs, and the Lakers didn't dare to let it go.
Barkley and Brian Shaw were completely pulled out.
The two created very good singles space for Grant Hill and Lynch Hunter!
In comparison, Kenny Anderson and O'Neal have not yet played, so it is more difficult for Zhang Hao to play.
Pistons coach Doug Collins just tried to use Jerome Williams, a rookie to defend Zhang Hao. Unexpectedly, the effect was good at the end of the second quarter. He continued to use it in the third quarter and continued to use it in the fourth quarter.
This greatly reduced the cost of Grant Hill's defensive end, and in the final quarter, he could still attack with all his strength!
However, after Zhang Hao focused on the final quarter and took action more resolutely in singles, Jerome Williams' defensive effect declined.
It’s not that Jerome Williams is not defending well, but that when it’s time to score, Zhang Hao can score!
The Pistons continued their fierce performance in the third quarter, but whenever they tried to widen the gap in one fell swoop, Zhang Hao was always able to stand up and score.
After the official timeout was 6 minutes and 35 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Pistons led the Lakers by 4 points 109 to 105.
The Lakers have gradually replaced it. The current lineup is Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Barkley.
On the Pistons, Terry Mills was tired of playing and was replaced. Terry Mills's problem is weight.
Terry Mills is a magical player, his shooting is getting more and more accurate and his weight is getting bigger and bigger. From the 104 kg sports forward line back then, he has become a big fat man with 120 kg, but his movement ability is not bad, but his physical strength is getting worse and worse.
Lynch Hunter, Joe Dumas, Grant Hill, Jerome Williams and Ratliff played.
37 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Zhang Hao has already scored 9 points in the last quarter, and 9 points of the 12 points in the first half of the quarter were obtained by him alone.
Grant Hill scored a little more in the last quarter, scoring 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and the data increased to 19 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists
However, Grant Hill watched Zhang Hao continue to catch the ball and play singles on the left side of the top arc, and felt so crazy! At this time, he still had such physical strength!
The Pistons scored a 20-12 half-quarter score, but in order to get these 10 points and 3 assists, his personal expenses were quite large.
But seeing Zhang Hao fighting so hard, he had to work hard to defend Zhang Hao and attack hard, otherwise he wouldn't be sure when this slight lead would be gone.
Zhang Hao couldn't care about so much and focused on the game.
The strength of Kenny Anderson over Van Exel is his stability, better physical strength, better overall view and organizational ability, but Kenny Anderson is not very useful at critical moments. He does not have the characteristics of Van Exel's being unscrupulous.
Facing Jerome Williams' defense, Zhang Hao dribbled outside the three-point line, and suddenly pulled up and shot directly!
Jerome Williams was very afraid of Zhang Hao's change of direction that even Grant Hill could pass, and defended a little further. Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and made a three-pointer shot!
40 points!
12 points per quarter!
108 to 109, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 1 point again!
We have to continue fighting! Grant Hill and Joe Dumas led the Pistons to another attack in the next two minutes, scoring 9 points in a row. Zhang Hao also scored 2 points and 1 assist. It was passed to Barkley's mid-range shot. Barkley made a foul and made a free throw.
But he was beaten 9-5, and the score difference reached 5 points. The Pistons led the Lakers by 5 points 118-113!
In the last three minutes, the Lakers called for a timeout.
The fans at the scene are already in full swing!
From falling behind by nearly 20 points, to catching up with the score difference, to overtaking the lead to the last moment.
What if the 51st super newcomer king of last season, the 50 superstars scored 40 points? All-round tactics Grant Hill is the strongest new generation superstar in their minds!
Del Harris replaced George Lynch with O'Neal, and the Lakers replaced the lineup again.
The Pistons did not rotate.
After the timeout, O'Neal rested for more than 8 minutes. He was very energetic when he came up. He just dunked Ratliff and scored two points!
Only then did O'Neal change to this time. The disadvantage is that there is no good franchise player in the first 8 minutes. The advantage is that the Pistons have played space in the past 8 minutes. Let O'Neal go out to defend against pick-and-roll and without the ball, which will affect his performance at critical moments.
Also, Zhang Hao played very well, helping the team to tighten the score. Who knows whether the rash adjustment of the playing style will affect Zhang Hao's performance?
As for the feel, state, O'Neal's style of playing, as long as he has enough physical strength, he needs to take care of what things?
The offense and defense change, and when the Pistons attack, Grant Hill should not be under too much pressure!
There was already a Zhang Hao who scored 12 points in the last quarter, and O'Neal also came up.
Grant Hill is ready to do this ball by himself!
...
