On the Mavericks' side, Dirk Nowitzki had 35 points and three assists, Michael Finley had 18 points, Jason Terry had 10 points and eight assists, and Devin Harris came off the bench to score 15 points and three rebounds.

In this comparison, the scoring data of the Pistons and the Mavericks also shows a 63:79 gap, not to mention the hole dug by the bench players, the Pistons are really behind the Mavericks in all aspects.

Although the Pistons ushered in a big defeat, those media reporters still did not underestimate the Pistons when they reported on the Pistons, because the Pistons players were able to play against the Dallas Mavericks, one of the top three in Texas, in an extremely unfavorable situation, which is already remarkable.

First of all, the Pistons are physically and mentally tired from consecutive away games, secondly, the core player Osborne is out due to injury, and finally the Pistons played a game before challenging the Mavericks, such an intensity of the game no team can bear, and the lack of core players alone is enough to make a championship team a second-rate team.

Anyway, many media are looking at this matter with a sympathetic eye, and the real winner, the Mavericks, no one pays attention, which makes Mavericks owner Mark Cuban very angry, how did he not expect that so many people pay attention to the defeated Pistons, but no one pays attention to the defeated Mavericks, which is simply unreasonable, but who made the Pistons the defending champion team? Naturally, there was more attention.

ESPN highly praised the Pistons' fighting spirit, saying that they are a group of real warriors, and said that all teams in the league should learn from the Pistons, so that there will not be so many bad teams, so that the league teams will be greatly improved.

Osborne was very uncomfortable when he saw Richard Hamilton fighting to the end and still losing miserably, he thought of himself when he saw Richard Hamilton, originally he was also very hardworking, and he tried to be perfect in doing one thing, but some things really need talent, so you have to choose the profession you want to engage in, don't blindly follow the herd, he was too obsessed with basketball at that time, and finally his studies were abandoned, as an amateur player, his skills are not bad, but he has no chance to use basketball to support himself, That's the talent gap.

After losing to the Mavericks, the Pistons finally have three days of rest, so that with Osborne's recovery ability, the next game is the Pistons' home Auburn Hills Palace to meet the Hawks' challenge to comeback, Osborne's current state is not a problem to return to the game, but whether he can play or not is not up to him, the team doctor can only do it, but Osborne is confident that the Pistons team doctor believes that he has fully recovered.

Let's talk about the Hawks, this team is not the opponent of the Pistons, but the Hawks are a typical playoff team, playoff regulars but most of the time stop in the first or second round, almost never played the division finals, let alone the finals, but the Hawks are definitely not a weak team, because the weak team can't play the playoffs, but it's not a strong team, because there are no superstar-level players in the team, and there is no All-Star-level starting lineup, let alone any decent system.

Among their lineup, Antoine Walker is more famous, and the other is Josh Smith and Tyronn Lue, who are also somewhat famous, Josh Smith will become the Hawks' Eagles, and Tyronn Lue is the one who was crossed by Allen Iverson in the 01 Finals.

When all the players of the Pistons were resting, Osborne went to the Pistons training hall to exercise his muscles, which made him very uncomfortable for several days of absence, he was born a person who couldn't stop, and after a few days of rest, he felt that he was about to rust, and his basketball skills were a little rusty.

After 30 minutes of warm-up training, he made up for all the homework he had missed in the past few days, so Osborne practiced an hour of continuous ball-holding obstacle course training, half an hour of three-point shooting training, and then took advantage of the warmth of his arm to do a group of bench press training, so Osborne was busy with more than two hours of training, feeling much more comfortable, and finally had a little feeling after the game.

Now Osborne has found out that injuries are really a hurdle for athletes, and if you have passed, you will be a new student, and your career will come to this if you can't get over, especially for athletes who have experienced major injuries, it is unlikely that they will return to their previous state, or even impossible, after all, in such a confrontational basketball sport, players who have suffered major injuries will have a great change in mentality, and the corresponding style of play has also changed a lot. Some superstars basically don't have the original supergod state after suffering heavy damage, and gradually become ordinary.

Osborne's foot injury this time is only a minor injury and will not bring any psychological changes to Osborne, but it will take at least a game or two to find his original form.

During the three days off for the Pistons, Osborne continued to build up his body's memories and prepare for his first game after his return, and the three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Pistons finally had a home game against the Hawks.

In fact, in addition to being busy recovering in the past few days, Osborne has also actively conveyed the signal of his injury to head coach Larry Brown and team doctor Maximon.

After a careful examination, the team doctor approved Osborne's application for injury recovery and allowed him to play, but he also suggested to Larry Brown to limit Osborne's playing time, preferably no more than 20 minutes, in fact, Larry Brown had already thought about it, he only planned to let Osborne play for 15 minutes, and then go to rest, but he would not tell Osborne about this, because according to his understanding of Osborne, Osborne would never agree to such an approach, so Larry Brown simply did not say it, and did it first as a respect.

At the beginning of the game, the Pistons home fans heard the news that Osborne was coming back, and came to the Pistons' home arena, Auburn Hills Palace, early to cheer for the Pistons.

The Pistons' home court was very lively, and the Pistons players played one after another, and when Osborne played, the fans and viewers immediately shouted Osborne's name.

This game is very important for Osborne, not only does he want to use this game to boost the morale of the Pistons and sweep away the haze of defeat, but he also wants to use this game as a starting point to continue to create a winning streak that belongs to the Pistons.

With both players already warmed up, the referee signaled that the game could start and that both sides were ready.

The starting lineup on the Hawks' side is center Josh Childres, power forward Josh Smith, small forward Antoine Walker, shooting guard Al Harrington, and point guard Tyronn Lue.

The Pistons continued to put Tysian Springss off the bench and Osborne as the starting point guard, and Larry Brown told him that his job was to score and that Chauncey Billups would help him get his touch back.

Osborne looked excited, but he didn't know that he would be limited in this game, just a fake starter. (To be continued.) )
