Chapter 15 Intra-Team Rivalry (Part II)

After Richard Hamilton scored two points, the center of the red team, Memet Oku, served and gave the ball to Darwin Ham, but Lindsey Hunt's defense was obviously very desperate, it seems that he wanted to prove that he was better than Darwin Ham, Darwin Ham was still very relaxed, those two annoying newcomers have already gone down one, and they don't have to play so fiercely, they just treat him as a regular training match, but I didn't expect Lindsey Hunt to be serious, a serious person, it's really not easy to entangle, Darwin Ham had to hand over the ball to the team's small forward Derrick Coleman, but Tayxiaan has a good sense of defense, excellent jumping, and natural arms, once in the 03~04 season finals there were several games to prevent Kobe Bryant into an iron god, so Darwin Ham passed the ball was poked off by Prince, Prince directly picked up the ball, directly threw the ball into the sky, Milicic, who had already fallen in position, directly a blank dunk, narrowed the score by two points, the score changed from 28:20 to 28:24, although it was still 4 points behind, However, the white team scored four points in a row in less than a minute, and there was a great hope of catching up with the score, with Richard Hamilton attacking the city and Tysha Amprins being the best partner in chasing points.

The red team saw that the white team added two new starters, and they became serious, and the attitude of the red team became serious, passing and attacking more cautiously, and they would not play indiscriminately, and then the red team's basketball also began to play according to the normal rotation lineup, and the offense and defense were also presentable, very balanced, and the white team played on a par. The red and white sides come and go, the tactical level is very high, and the defensive confrontation is also very intense, but this is not the real Pistons team basketball, the Pistons-style basketball is very popular in the eighties and nineties of iron-blooded defensive brawl basketball, but it is impossible to complete such basketball in the intra-team confrontation, after all, they are teammates, in case they are injured, they are embarrassed to meet, and the damage is still their team's record. So although the game was intense, there was no Piston-style brawl defense and offense, but it was not easy to score, and after nearly five minutes, the red and white sides scored in single digits. Tayshaan Prince's defense is simply airtight, and the later kawaii Leonard is a copy of Taysia Ann, but Leonard's offense is better than Prince's. And Richard Hamilton played for two minutes and went down, letting other players replace him, after all, he is a practical player, and he is always a little constrained in the usual intra-team matches, so he played for a while. In the end, the score of the first half stayed at 34:32, and the red team led by one goal.

Osborne thinks that this kind of basketball is also very interesting, although the viewing is not very high, but as the so-called layman looks lively, and the insider looks at the doorway, Osborne thinks he is still an emperor who understands football. And there is a far-reaching saying in the NBA league, "Offense wins fans, defense wins championships." It is precisely in this way that the Pistons can take what they want from the strongman Lakers, and finally defeat the invincible Lakers. After the last five minutes of the first half, Osborne plucked up the courage to admit his mistake to Larry Brown: "Coach I want to play, I was a little uncalm before, I hope you can give me another chance, I can't stand my teammates struggling on the field and I can only watch them struggle off the field, I will definitely play well, as long as my teammates are willing to win, I am willing to work hard for victory until the final victory comes." ”

Larry Brown heard Osborne so sincere, so he nodded in agreement, but Larry Brown said in advance: "There are some things I want to give you a vaccination, my team must be calm and united, after all, basketball is a five-person sport, and you are the best basketball players in the world, it is inevitable that you will be a little dissatisfied, and you must learn to restrain yourself, even if the opponent is provocative, do not directly conflict with him, professional basketball players should use basketball to solve the opponent and solve everything." When Osborne heard the head coach's words, he turned around and agreed: "Don't worry, head coach, I will not be reckless, if it is a man, he will use basketball to crush the opponent, and never use violent means." Larry Brown was pleased with Osborne's answer and then motioned for the game to continue to give the ball to the red team.

Osborne is back on the pitch and plays the role of scoring guard, he is now going to win the game in the right way, the red team center Memet Oku sent the ball to the red team point guard Darwin Ham, and then the game started again, Darwin Ham dribbled the ball across the half court and passed the ball to the hands of the scoring guard Rich Balding, Osborne was suddenly nervous and focused, Balding was ready to break through Osborne with a cross step, but Osborne did not let it stick very tightly, Rich Balding failed to break through, passed the ball to small forward Derrick Coleman, as soon as he passed the ball to him, Tysha Ann Prince pasted it up and sealed Derrick Coleman's pitching space with his long arm, Derrick Coleman is not the kind of player who can take the initiative to attack, so he was ready to pass the ball back to Darwin Ham, but his passing intention was too obvious, and Prince saw through it and poked the ball out, Osborne looked at the place where the basketball fell and was about to go outside the ball line, and then Osborne quickly pounced and saved the ball, and consciously threw it into the hands of his teammate Lindsey Hunt, and then Osborne quickly got up and made a fast break, Linsey Hunt saw Osborn so desperately to save the ball, and passed the ball to Osborne, Osborne no longer hesitated to run directly to the opponent's basket, and the other players also followed Osborne to run forward, and Memet Oku was already waiting for Osborne in the three-second zone, as long as Osborne dared to go to the basket, he would even take the ball down. However, Osborne swept his teammates and followed him through the afterglow, so Osborne pulled Memet Oku out with a European step, and passed the ball to the fast-running small forward Tysha Ann Princes with a pass without looking at people, and then Tysa Ann Prince directly made a three-step layup to dunk the ball, and after the dunk, Prince gave Osborne a high-five. Then the white team's offensive frenzy began, Osborne and Milicic and Prince cooperated very tacitly, and soon caught up with the score, moving the score to a 50-50 draw, Osborne's data is also very good, getting 8 points and 12 assists, as long as he scores two more points to complete the double-double, and then the red team is also very well coordinated.

Larry Brown saw that Osborne actually had the ability to pass the ball, and his style was so versatile, it was really a treasure, and Daco Milicic was also qualified as a top pick. It seems that the quality of this year's rookies is really high, and Larry Brown feels that he is almost done, so let's declare that today's game is over. Osborne wanted to continue playing, but Larry Brown explained: "There's more important things to do today, you and Milicic are going to sign rookie contracts, so don't waste any more time here, go ahead, oh and I'm very optimistic about your future, try to grow, I'll give you a chance." ”

Osborne knew that his talent was recognized by head coach Larry Brown, so he stopped worrying about the game and hurried to find the team's president, Joe Dumas, with Milicic. Osborne was thrilled to think that he would become a millionaire if he signed a contract.
