If you don't pull it, you can't guard it. If you pull it, you'll get a foul.

What to do?

Van Gundy was also anxiously pacing the sidelines.

The Pistons' interior defense is indeed good, with Drummond and Harris.

But in terms of outside defense, Pope and Smith are already the best defenders on the team at the guard position.

However, Zheng Long still cannot be restricted!

And the Lakers are blooming more.

In addition to Zheng Long, other players also had a hot outside touch. In total, the team made 7 of 8 three-pointers in the second quarter.

He scored 32 points in the second quarter in one breath.

At the end of the first half, Pistons 50:52 Lakers.

The Lakers finally succeeded in overtaking the score!

The two teams seemed to have a close score, but in fact, the Pistons' momentum was gone.

Drummond seemed to be a little alone, and his usual secondary attacker Tobia Harris was not accurate from the outside in this game.

The Pistons players followed head coach Van Gundy silently to the tunnel.

Van Gundy completely lost his excitement at the start of the game.

At this moment, he felt the pain of Rivers and others.

When there is a player on the opposite side and you can't limit his scoring even by double-teaming, you can only scold him.

Before Van Gundy walked into the tunnel, he saw the bald back of Zheng Long wearing jersey No. 23.

Lost his mind for a moment.

"Fake, it seems!"

During his tenure as an assistant coach and head coach of the Knicks last season, Van Gundy's Knicks team lost to the Bulls in the playoffs several times.

"Coach, what does it look like?"

"It's nothing, I'm blinded."

I must have been beaten stupidly. Apart from the fact that they are all bald, they don't look alike.

In the third quarter of the game, when the Lakers players returned to the game, they showed their determination to solve the game in advance.

Especially Zheng Long.

I was disgusted by what happened today. I just wanted to leave this arena quickly, go back and have a good sleep and relax.

Zheng Long came to earth in the third quarter and scored 21 points in a single quarter, leading the Lakers to a 41:21 offensive climax in a single quarter.

Directly entering the fourth quarter with a 22-point lead, when there were 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' lead had reached 30 points.

Walton directly sent in substitute players and declared off work in advance.

At this time, the Pistons' home fans couldn't stand it anymore and most of them left the field.

But there are still a large number of spectators in the Little Caesars Arena, and these are Lakers fans.

Excitedly celebrating the Lakers’ fourth consecutive victory!

I haven't had such a wonderful start in a long, long time!

The only unsatisfactory thing is that Zheng Long "only" scored 39 points in this game.

The scoring average dropped to 43.5 points per game, and he also had 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals.

Post-match press conference.

When a reporter asked Walton whether he was optimistic about Zheng Long winning the Rookie of the Year given his current statistics.

Walton replied, "Best Rookie? I don't know if Zheng Long would mind comparing with rookies. His current performance is on the road to competing for MVP!"

Rookie competing for MVP?!

The last person to win the MVP in his rookie season was coach Wilt Chamberlain.

Moreover, there is only one in NBA history.

Two reporters stood in a corner of the press conference and discussed quietly.

"Wharton is crazy. At that time, Chamberlain won the MVP in his rookie season with 37.6+27 rebounds."

"Zheng Long's statistics are indeed terrifying, but his scoring is declining, which shows that other teams in the NBA are studying ways to target him."

"Yes, that's right. It's normal for the data to be inflated at the beginning of the season. Teams are adapting to each other's offensive methods."

"Perhaps Zheng Long will be completely restricted in the next game, and his touch will not always be so hot."

"Yes, the Lakers lack the foundation. They can't win continuously. Maybe in the next game, their winning streak will be broken."

"Who are they going to fight next?"

"Looks like it's the 76ers."

"."

"It looks like the Lakers are going to win five games in a row."
