The two sides played quite fiercely, after all, it was a confrontation between two All-Star point guards, and the offense of both teams was as smooth as flowing water, and the offensive success rate was quite high, but in this way, the Pistons' scoring was always unable to catch up with the Nets. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The game between the two teams was quite anxious, and although the Pistons' defensive level was improved, they did not show much containment, and the Nets' offense was still able to match the Pistons' offense, because the Nets' Vince Carter disrupted the Pistons' defense.

After the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the Pistons by four points at 33-29, and Osborne never thought that the Pistons' defense would not be the same for every team, at least in the face of a superstar team like Vince Carter, defense is no longer a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. Because his individual ability is enough to destroy the Pistons' defensive system.

During this period, although it was the confrontation between the Pistons with Chauncy Billups as the core and the Nets with Jason Kidd as the core, no one could compare with Vince Carter because Osborne was resting off the court, so even if the Pistons' defense did go up, the offensive firepower was still dominated by the Nets, so the Pistons still had no way to tie the score.

Osborne sat on the cold bench again, and the first quarter of the game was over, watching his team fall behind, he was very unwilling, he felt that the Pistons had taken the game against the Nets very seriously, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

In the second quarter, Osborne was still required to score hard, and Larry Brown said directly: "Osborne, it's time for you to perform, I don't know if you're ready." ”

Osborne, of course, was looking forward to continuing his confrontation with Vince Carter, so he replied: "Always be ready, ask the manager to assign the task." ”

At the start of the second quarter, the Nets made no changes, and the Pistons returned to their original lineup, but Osborne did not play the shooting guard position, but played the small forward position, and Richard Hamilton was responsible for defending Vince Carter.

Osborne didn't care too much about that, as long as he could play, he wouldn't care about anything else.

The Nets seemed to have completed the warm-up, and went crazy attacking directly at the beginning of the second quarter, which was first started by Vince Carter, who used his individual singles skills to break through Richard Hamilton and dunk Rasheed Wallace again, and Vince Carter's dunk seemed to ignite the Nets' entire team's offense.

Osborne, on the Pistons' side, also began to look for a shot, but Richard Jefferson didn't let him shoot easily, and soon ran over to defend closely.

Osborne didn't expect Richard Jefferson to be so difficult, but Osborne had to make various attempts, first using trash talk to stimulate Richard Jefferson, "You team junior, dare to come over to defend me, the boss of the team, why don't you quickly hide aside and let your boss come over to defend me." ”

In fact, Osborne's provocative meaning is very strong, and Richard Jefferson is also deaf to it, although he also knows that the Nets do have some contradictions, although they are not contradictions on the surface, but invisibly, there will be what Osborne said when it comes to the critical moment, I don't know who to listen to, this team was originally led by power forward Kenyon Martin and point guard Jason Kidd, but since Vince Carter joined, this team has a single core to lead the team.

At the critical moment, Vince Carter was like a savior, using his individual singles skills to directly end the game, at first he felt that this feeling seemed to be good, but he felt that Jason Kidd's presence was more beneficial to the Nets, and without Jason Kidd, the Nets' offense was very chaotic.

So in his heart, Jason Kidd has always been able to become the core of the Nets, not Vince Carter, no matter how good Vince Carter is, it is just the icing on the cake, and Jason Kidd is indeed the cornerstone of the Nets, so Osborne's provocation has no effect at all.

However, Osborne also seized the opportunity to directly take advantage of Richard Jefferson's distraction, and threw the basketball out directly, and the basketball went into the net accurately.

However, there seems to be someone on the Nets' side who is starting to go berserk, and Osborne's words seem to have been heard by Vince Carter, because Vince Carter's performance in the next game can only be described as crazy.

Vince Carter received a pass from Jason Kidd and cut to the basket for a powerful dunk, and then Chauncey Billups also assisted Richard Hamilton for a layup and scored a two-point shot.

Vince Carter continued to exert his power, speeding up past Richard Hamilton and hitting a two-pointer on a pullup jumper.

This time, Osborne also dodged Richard Jefferson's block and also scored a two-pointer, and the Pistons were only one point behind the Nets, and it was likely to be erased in the next round.

Osborne's three-point shot is also difficult to shoot, with few shots, but Osborne still uses ordinary scoring methods to contribute.

However, the next round was still Vince Carter's performance, this time Vince Carter actually shot a standard three-pointer under the defense of Richard Hamilton, Osborne did not expect that at this time Vince Carter would change direction like a scorer.

It's just that the Pistons' offense made a mistake, Rasheed Wallace made a mistake in the cooperation with Chauncey Billups, Rasheed Wallace almost knocked out the basketball, although he barely managed to maintain his shape, but his mid-range shot was iron.

Then Vince Carter received a pass from power forward Kostic, and went straight down to the basket with an arm-style dunk, his dunk made the audience in the entire arena excited, Larry Brown also called for a short time after the goal was scored, and studied how to limit Vince Carter, and after a while, Vince Carter scored 9 points, and if he didn't stop it, Vince Carter might really get more and more excited, and it would be difficult to block him at that time.

After thinking about it, he had to let Tayshire Ampyrins take the position of scoring guard and let him defend Vince Carter, while Osborne's task was still to grab points, even shot more three-pointers, and required the players on the court to do two things, one was to assist Tayshire Ampyrins to defend Vince Carter, and the other was to help Osborne with three-point shooting tactics.

But when the timeout came back, they found that Vince Carter's defense was useless, and Vince Carter was still unstoppable, three-point shots, explosive dunks, empty dunks, split dunks, mid-range shots, everything.

If it weren't for Osborne's 17 points in a single quarter, maybe the Pistons would have faced a collapse, and even so, Vince Carter scored 25 points in a single quarter, which still had a considerable impact on the Pistons.

At halftime, the Pistons trailed the Nets by 9 points, although the Pistons also arranged a defensive strategy for Vince Carter, but unfortunately Vince Carter entered the zone and became unstoppable, if it weren't for the Pistons players desperately blocking and slowing down the pace of the game, maybe Vince Carter could score more than 30 points in a single quarter.

Vince Carter's sudden outburst made the Pistons almost unable to parry, but fortunately, his madness was a little early, if it was in the fourth quarter, the Pistons would be finished, and now there is still time to make up for the gap. (To be continued.) )
