Chapter 111: Defeat the Warriors
Hearing the question from Taysha Ann Prince and Chauncy Billups, Osborne replied: "It's nothing, just to exchange revolutionary sentiments with Big Ben and increase mutual understanding." ”
Billups didn't understand what Osborne meant, "What do you mean?" I don't understand. ”
Osborne saw that Billups, Prince, and Wallace all looked confused, and Osborne explained: "There is no other meaning, it is that Ben Wallace and I are discussing the current situation of the Pistons and looking forward to the future." ”
After Osborne explained, Prince and Chauncey were even more ignorant than Loops, so they looked at Ben Wallace with curiosity, and Wallace was embarrassed and said, "Just now Osborne and I were discussing the possibility of the Pistons winning the championship. ”
Hearing Ben Wallace's explanation, they suddenly realized, but still asked suspiciously: "Is it a bit too early to discuss this, our regular season has just begun." I think we're still going to keep our feet on the ground and think about the next game against the Lakers, and if we can't beat the Lakers, we're going to win the Finals, and it's not necessarily ours. ”
Everyone else agreed, and Osborne felt that what was supposed to be just a relaxing awk was about to develop into a seminar.
The game started again with the Pistons players on the court, Osborne was angry with Chauncey Billups before going on the court, which means that the Warriors should be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise the players are too tired, and the next game will be difficult to deal with, the Pistons are back-to-back games, in fact, many Pistons players are a little tired, but they are all holding on with their will.
Billups agreed, and then told Osborne to pass the ball to him whenever he had the chance, and Billups still trusted Osborne's ability to cut points.
So at the beginning of the game, Billups and Osborne interacted frequently, first Billups passed a wide range of transfer balls to Osborne, Osborne dropped a three-point shot, and then Osborne also responded with a ground-hitting pass to Billups, Billups also hit two points in the middle of the shot, and their performances quickly made Ben Wallace and Tysa Ann Prince jealous.
Tell them to pay attention to the order of the court, not to show affection in public, if you have to show affection then please take us to show together.
Chauncey Billups quickly realized his mistake after this warning, and then he used his role as the Pistons' starting point guard to deliver the most timely passes to the most appropriate places. The Pistons' game was very smooth, and it was really a three-way game, so the Pistons' scoring during this time period was very brave, and the team's shooting rate was as high as 70%, which was really the highest shooting rate in the history of the Pistons.
On the Warriors' side, they also showed no weakness, McDonleavy, Avery Johnson, Jason Richardson, Eric Danpeil, Nick Van Exel also fired one after another, first Van Exel's juggling layup scored two points and added a free throw, Jason Richardson carried Ben Wallace with a small hook and threw a shot, Eric Dampier made a successful basket under the defense of Elden Campbell, Avery Johnson scored in the middle of the shot, and then Mike Dunleawick also hit a three-point shot against the defense.
Both sides had surprisingly high shooting percentages, which entertained the fans watching tonight's game at Oracle Arena, after all, the Warriors were so motivated that they could match the league's top seeds, the Pistons.
This is something that the Warriors' home fans can't imagine, although the league claims to be a weak team in the NBA, but it's only relatively speaking, many teams really have a lot of problems, and the Warriors are one of them.
But the Warriors' bravery is worth the ticket price, and there is no more to ask for.
Osborne was simply a beep when he saw this situation, he originally thought that the Pistons and the Warriors were a game between strong men and beautiful women, but he didn't expect that it would become a fierce competition between Mars and Earth with his own participation. This gave Osborne's originally strong self-confidence a serious blow, and it turned out that he didn't have anything special, but he was lucky to meet a team system that suited him to show his talents, otherwise there would definitely not be such gorgeous statistics.
After Osborne understood this problem, he finally understood Coach Larry Brown's thoughts a little, for the long-term planning of the team must endure a period of pain, Osborne decided to take the initiative to admit his mistake to Coach Larry Brown after the game, and then actively cooperate with him to build the team system.
Osborne finally decided to play his own solo to attract the Warriors' defense and create opportunities for the rest of the Pistons, and Osborne did not take the initiative to break through, but completed the offense through the cooperation between the players, and Osborne kept shooting three-pointers. Although it is limited to lack of physical strength, the hit rate has dropped a little, but it is still quite threatening.
The Warriors players didn't dare to let Osborne fire all the time, and used Van Exel and Mike Dunleavy to cover him, so the Pistons players always had a spot open, which gave the Pistons players a lot of open opportunities.
Osborne actually doesn't hate the bag so much, because he can pass the ball, just like LeBron James, he needs to have a group of teammates who can score, Kobe Bryant doesn't hate the bag, he thinks it's his honor, and he is very eager for a one-on-five performance.
It just so happens that Osborne does have such teammates, everyone on the court has an accurate mid-range shot, and there are good joint defense and individual defensive ability.
Osborne now keeps hanging the ball inside, either Ben Wallace or Elden Campbell, they blow up the Warriors' weak interior line from time to time, Osborne also shoots some three-pointers by himself, Osborne's current style of play is a typical in-out tactic, this is the classic play of the Lakers in the OK era of Megatron, Kobe Bryant is outside, O'Neal is inside, the two swords are combined, and the world is invincible. It's just that O'Neal's laziness and Kobe's ambition ruined the OK combination that could have won at least five championships.
Osborne sometimes passes the ball, sometimes shoots three-pointers himself, this performance makes the Warriors unable to defend at all, and the Pistons' defensive intensity has gradually increased, so the Warriors' scoring began to decline slowly, at first the Warriors were not obviously aware of it, and by the time they did, the Pistons were already ahead of them by almost 20 points. Therefore, the head coach of the Warriors also simply withdrew the main force and announced his surrender.
Seeing that the big picture was decided, Larry Brown took all the main players down to rest and let the substitutes play the rest of the game. When the game time was read to the last second, the Pistons won on the road, which was an unequal game, and the Pistons should have destroyed the game, but due to back-to-back reasons, the game became a game of Mars hitting Earth. However, the Warriors also performed very well, holding on until the end of the final quarter to completely surrender.
