You have to know that the Lakers are still extremely dependent on Kobe and Shaq.

If the Pistons share the pressure with the five tigers, then the Lakers are Kobe and O'Neal sharing the pressure.

Their consumption is extremely huge.

Therefore, Li Ang firmly believes that as long as he can withstand the pressure of three consecutive away games in Los Angeles.

Then when you go back to Detroit, the Lakers are equivalent to entering the gates of hell!

During the period before the game began, both teams were nervously preparing for the game.

Kobe and Li Ang have never been so close, but they have never texted each other and harassed each other.

They can't speak until one of them is brought down.

During this period, reporters from the outside world are still enjoying themselves teasing the Pistons, as if they are about to face a lottery team.

Finally, the first game of the 2003 NBA Finals started at Auburn Palace Stadium!

Before the game began, as always, the Pistons players made their debut in gold belts.

Auburn Hill Palace Stadium is crowded with fans filling every corner of the stands.

When he stepped into the stadium again, Li Ang felt that he was actually a little panicked.

Once again, he saw the OK group on the stage of the finals and the two terrifying guys.

Two years ago, the feeling of powerlessness when facing the Lakers still deeply hurt Li Ang's heart.

But soon, when his teammates gathered around him and nodded slightly at him, Li Ang felt that he suddenly was not afraid of anything.

This time, I can definitely win!

Amid the fierce shouts of Detroit fans, the Pistons played all the advantages in the finals G1.

Iron-blooded defense, team offense, and never giving up spirit...

Before, people were laughing at the Magic, the Bulls and the Nets, how could they get such a little points in a game?

But today, when the Lakers were also in scoring drought at Auburn Hills Palace Stadium, they all understood.

It's not the Magic, the Bulls and Nets are too weak, it's the Pistons' defense that is really Liu Bi.

Carlisle's strategy is to use Hamilton to guard Kobe throughout the whole process. Once Kobe holds the ball, he will put on the iron barrel formation and attack at any time.

As for Fisher, George and Horry at the three-point line, if you can, they can be spared.

Let them vote.

The Lakers rely on the ability of the OK combination to beat the king. So Carlisle would rather let the role players shoot, and never let OK play the advantage.

Don't say that the Lakers' role players really give face.

You let me go, right?

I'll show you!

Fisher made 1 of 9 in the whole game, Horry made 2 of 9, and Devin and George made 3 of 9.

The Zen master was so confused. You three times, this is the smooth flower!

Kobe and O'Neal carried all the game, Shaq scored 34 points, and Kobe scored 25 points.

Shaq's performance was indeed invincible, making 13 of 16 shots in the game and scoring 34 points, which made the best defensive player Benge unable to take care of himself.

But Kobe was not so lucky. Although he scored 25 points, he made only 10 of 27 shots in the game, and his shooting percentage was only 37%.

In terms of efficiency, Shaq was directly overwhelmed.

This is actually related to the Pistons' defensive strategy, which mainly attacks Kobe.

Today, Kobe will face at least two people's defense once the ball is tied.

The Piston, who directly emptied the role player, did not give him a chance to fight one-on-one.

Not to mention holding the ball, even when moving without the ball, Kobe will occasionally get double-team treatment.

Carlisle thought, it was not realistic to hold all the OK combination down, it was really too powerful.

Instead of just getting evenly rainy and dew, it is better to concentrate on dealing with someone.

Who should I deal with? Carlisle decided to deal with Kobe.

First of all, O'Neal's attack range is at the basket. Even if he is double-teamed, he may not be able to hold it. After all, Li Ang and Da Ben's height is here.

Secondly, Kobe is not the kind of person who likes to pass the ball. If you double-team him, he may not necessarily pass the ball to his teammates.

Therefore, double-teaming Kobe is simply the perfect choice.

As long as one of the OK ones can be held down, the Lakers will be like a man who has one leg missing, or the one in the middle.

Once the Lakers cannot catch this leg, they will have a dead end!

All Carlisle's strategies were implemented by the Pistons generals today with great success.

In addition to defense, the Pistons' offense was also very good today.

Li Ang scored 22 points, Billups scored 17 points, and Hamilton scored 15 points.

Very average and not bad at efficiency.

Although during the game, I couldn't help but want to show two offensively because I had no skills and had to choose to force myself to eat, I was blocked by Shake.

His operation made Director Zhang say he couldn't understand it, but it was very shocking. What courage was that to challenge O'Neal so short.

However, even if there are people like Ben, the Pistons' offense today is excellent.

With excellent tactics on both offense and defense, the Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with a score difference of 85-75, 10 points at home, achieving a good start to the finals!

At that moment, the cheers in the Auburn Palace Stadium made Li Ang’s ears tinnitus.

Before the game, everyone was mocking the Pistons, a "country team", and no one knocked the Pistons directly.

Everyone thinks that the Lakers are still the once arrogant Lakers.

But this time, the Pistons told fans and media in Los Angeles: "We're different!"

The Pistons not only won, but also won a full 10 points!

Los Angeles fans are planning the championship parade and the championship award ceremony.

Everyone had a plan in advance until they were punched in the face!

"The Pistons didn't even let the Lakers score more than 80 points! If you want me, they have the ability to compete for the championship!"

Barkley was so excited that he danced with all his heart. The Pistons defeated the Lakers. This is a cool script of a poor boy who counterattacked the rich second generation. Hedong and thirty years, Hexi, and Hexi, not bullying the poor boy!

What's even more exciting is that...this is all true!

You are still frowning? You are crazy!

Well, for those who like pistons, this is indeed a cool script.

But for the Lakers, who have a large number of fans, this is a heavy blow.

After the game, O'Neal also complained about Kobe again in an interview after many days: "Devin George passed me a few good goals today. I was really surprised how he passed the ball to me. Some people played with me for five or six years but couldn't pass the ball to me, but he passed me six or seven times in one night."

As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew it was an old Onmyoji.

Needless to say, everyone knows who "some people" Shaq said are.

It's like calling lsp, even if you don't tell the name, everyone knows that they are talking about themselves.

O'Neal and Kobe, the Pistons are combined and the Pistons are divided.

O'Neal was really angry. Kobe was crazy today.

It's so hard, I don't know if I can pass it on.

I always say that I want to defeat the Pistons together. Is this your attitude?

Everyone understands Kobe's personality.

When playing in the finals with Li Ang, he must have dug up his mind and beat Li Ang, so he didn't care about passing the ball.

But I knew that the thunder was buried, Li Ang didn't explode, and Kobe himself exploded.

So, Kobe didn't argue with Shake this time.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he was the one who did something wrong.

Li Ang was naturally very happy to be able to win the first game with 10 points.

But this joy did not last long, because in the second game, the powerful Lakers immediately won the game back!

In the second game of the series, the OK group continued to shine and heat up, and teamed up to score an exaggerated 62 points to help the Lakers regain their face!

OK today is not only high scores, but also high hit rate.

Kobe made 14 of 27 shots and scored 33 points with a shooting percentage of 51.9%.

O'Neal scored 29 points on 10 of 20 shots.

There is nothing to say about this game, and the Pistons' strategy is still fine. The team's double-teaming against Kobe and O'Neal's defense against O'Neal has been at its best.
