Chapter 114: Fierce Fighting

"Now the game starts, the jump ball is the Lakers center Big Shark O'Neal, the Pistons are Big Ben Ben Wallace, this is T.N.T TV, your old friend Charles Barkley, and my partner Kenny Smith, will broadcast tonight's Los Angeles battle for you, please don't go away, the excitement will be presented to you."

As soon as Barkley's words fell, the players on the court were ready, and the referee threw the ball into the sky, O'Neal reacted quickly and jumped first, and Ben Wallace was a little slow to react and jumped up.

Then Ben Wallace came from behind and managed to touch the ball first, because O'Neal had severely reduced his bounce height due to his size limitations, and he couldn't jump at all, and the height of his jump was ridiculed as the height of a cigarette on an ordinary court.

The Pistons grabbed the ball, Richard Hamilton picked up the basketball and handed the ball to Chauncey Billups to handle, and began to run on the fast break, but Kobe Bryant wouldn't let him be so comfortable, and he defended tightly and didn't leave a gap.

Osborne was also moving fast at this time, constantly running, trying to run out of the open position, and his teammates were also having a hard time, Billups was entangled by Gary Payton, there was no way to attack, Ben Wallace and O'Neal were entangled, and they kept stuck in position, fortunately, Ben Wallace was very strong, otherwise he would definitely not be able to lower O'Neal, and Taysha Ann Prince was also actively sought physical contact by Karl Malone, which made the atmosphere on the court a little tense as soon as it came up.

Speaking of which, Osborne's side can be regarded as peaceful, at least Devon George is not entangled with Osborne, Osborne signaled Prince to block and cover, Prince will understand, get rid of Karl Malone, and then stand still, Osborne ran in the opposite direction and used Prince's blocking cover to finally get a little space, and then Billups passed the ball to him, but it was too late, Karl Malone had already filled the position, Osborne saw that there was no chance, so he handed the basketball to Prince, Prince quickly went to the basket, Osborne stuffed the ball to Prince with a fake pass, and Prince didn't let Osborne's pass live up to it, and a throw quickly scored the ball.

Kobe Bryant saw that Osborne actually used his usual passing method, and immediately felt that Osborne was provoking him, he walked up to Osborne and said: "Boy, your passing skills are very well imitated, do you want me to teach you a few tricks." ”

Osborne immediately retorted when he heard Kobe's words: "A person who even sticks out his tongue to imitate Jordan is not worthy of teaching me a lesson." ”

Kobe Bryant was furious after hearing this, but the team had already begun to fight back, and he didn't say anything back but glared at Osborne with his white-eyed skills, Osborne was a little panicked by him, but Osborne also knew Kobe's character, and he was very competitive when he said it, and he was paranoid when he said it badly.

The Lakers counterattack began, and the Pistons also defended strictly like the Lakers began, as if this ball was a lore ball, and it was really an inch.

Gary Payton was also annoyed by being entangled at this time, and directly began to crush Billups with his body, and then he hoisted the ball to the inside power forward Carl Malone, because he felt that the position on Karl Malone's side was the most threatening, and then Gary Payton passed the ball directly to Karl Malone, after Karl Malone received the ball, his back was against Prince, and then he used his old footsteps to shake left and right, and then a hook hand threw the ball, but it was a pity that the ball bounced out of the basket, but the Lakers had O'Neal after all, and he directly made a rebound and dunked the ball to the basket.

After the dunk, he made a funny face at Ben Wallace, but Ben Wallace didn't think it was funny, he thought it was provoking him, so he felt that he had to let this nimble dead fat man know what real defense was.

"Yo Yo Yo, this game has just begun, it's really worthy of Mars hitting the earth, it's too exciting, I think the inside of the Pistons team is going to be blown up today, and the Pistons team only has an advantage on the outside." Barkley said in surprise.

The situation on the court is indeed as he said, it is really intense, especially on the inside, Ben Wallace and Shaquille, Karl Malone and Taysha Ann Prince are all tightly entangled like sumo wrestlers, and the scene is really unbearable to look at.

And the main offensive points of the two teams are different, the Lakers mainly play the inside, and the Pistons focus on the outside, after all, the Pistons can only barely cope with the inside, and it is impossible to score at all.

So the Lakers had a big advantage, and in less than five minutes of the opening game, the Pistons slowly fell behind by eight points and were about to go to a double-double.

The Pistons have no choice but to play the outside, and the outside position has an advantage over Osborne, which also has to consider Devin George's state, in fact, the Pistons don't have to worry about this, because the Lakers' internal ball competition is very strong, and it is not Devin George's turn to attack.

Osborne saw the anxious state of the inside line, and was also very worried, he didn't dare to break into this death penalty area, so Osborne could only use his back singles skills to beat Devin George, Osborne kept running, and finally received the ball, and then Osborne bowed his waist against Devin George, so that he couldn't touch the ball, and then began to shake left and right, and directly threw a backward jump shot, Devin George had no choice but to try his best to block, but the basketball easily escaped his fingertips and flew to the basket, Finally, the basketball went through the net.

When Kobe Bryant saw the ball, he couldn't hold back the passion in his heart and wanted to respond to Osborne's response ball in the air, but when he asked Gary Payton for the ball, Gary Payton ignored his action to ask for the ball, which made Kobe even more angry, and the unwilling thought in his heart rose in his mind.

Although Gary Payton also knows Kobe's dissatisfaction, he obviously has an advantage on the inside in this game, and he doesn't need to shoot from the outside at all, and he himself is still worried about how to brush the data, so he can't care about Kobe's thoughts at all.

Kobe Bryant had no choice but to grab rebounds or steal by himself and then go on his own.

Osborne's side turned on the crazy scoring mode, non-stop three-point shooting, which made Devin George miserable, he didn't have a chance to shoot, but he still had to defend the opponent's ace player, which was really painful.

Osborne's hand in this game is also very bad, but there is no way, so he can only maintain it for a period of time, but fortunately, the Lakers are also playing iron inside and outside, which keeps the score between the two sides at 23:21, and the Lakers are only two points ahead of the Pistons.

In fact, not only was it nervous on the court, but Larry Brown was also worried that the Pistons would collapse, but fortunately he supported it, and he found that the Lakers' interior line was not indestructible, but it just needed a wing defender, and Tysha Springss was still too thin.
