Chapter 35: Osborne's Record
The Lakers quickly relied on the team's ace OK combination to take the lead, and the Pistons did not show weakness and directly tied the score again.
Osborne looked at the Lakers who were getting better and better, and he didn't spare his physical strength and skills, helping the Pistons to hold the score as tightly as possible.
However, the OK combination is still very strong, especially Kobe Bryant is very strong, showing the true colors of the black mamba, and sure enough, some people can't force it, and they will explode when they are forced. It's clear that Kobe Bryant falls into that category.
Kobe Bryant and O'Neal combined for 10 points with free throws, and soon showed the demeanor of the Lakers boss, they are still the OK combination that shocked the world.
In one fell swoop, the score was 109:103 leading the Pistons by 6 points, and O'Neal in the three-second zone and Kobe Bryant in the last moment were really the most terrifying, known as the two of the six in the NBA league.
But basketball is still a team competition after all, and the Lakers now have a big problem, that is, the run-in problem between superstars and the problem of ball possession.
Although the Lakers' F4 is shocking, Karl Malone, who has been the MVP of the regular season for several times, has formed an inherent style of play, and is good at blocking and dismantling tactics in the Jazz, and he and John Stockton's blocking and dismantling are perfect.
But no one in the Lakers can play him that kind of cooperation, which makes Karl Malone, a dignified regular season MVP, very embarrassed, and he is almost the most chicken existence in the Lakers team. Due to his age, it would be good to have half of his personal strength left, and no one in the team could block him.
So Karl Malone is the least efficient existence of the Lakers, and even so, Karl Malone is one of the few main offensive points in the Lakers, but the defensive efficiency is indeed a little low.
The coach of the Pistons is very clear about these factors that are not conducive to the Lakers, and he has made corresponding arrangements for this, playing run-and-shoot tactics and small-ball tactics, using more pass-through balls, and must ensure that the offense is completed within 24 seconds.
At this time, Osborne's wonderful pass king happened to be the Pistons' most practical response point, and he kept feeding other people with cannonballs, especially Tayxia Prince, who was opposite Karl Malone, and his finishing ability was not bad, adding a few points to the team and adding a few assists to Osborne. Chasing the score to a 109-109 tie is the strength of the Pistons team.
Lakers head coach Phil Jackson also saw the lowest point of efficiency of Karl Malone, if the Lakers really want to play to the fullest, they must arrange a tactic for Karl Malone, otherwise the Lakers will fall into internal friction.
Kobe Bryant is also willing to do anything for the sake of victory, and his cooperation with O'Neal is still very high, but he is not willing to live only in O'Neal's shadow. The Lakers look luxurious, but in fact they are in crisis.
This is also the key to the Pistons' victory, as long as they play their basketball well to defeat the Lakers, who are in the run-in period.
"It's so intense, I didn't expect Osborne to be so good at passing, he forced O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to pull away the score, and it was easy to catch up, and there were still 2 and a half minutes left, and the winner was still very unclear. It seems that there is still a lot of fun to come. ”
And the players on the Lakers' side are actually very uncomfortable, and Kobe Bryant is even angry about what Osborne just said. There is still a lot of appreciation for Osborne in his eyes, after all, Osborne's style of play is still very similar to his own, except for passing.
"This rookie player is very good, and he has already scored a super quasi-triple-double of 38 points, 14 assists and 9 rebounds. OMG is a very young player, he will create the youngest triple-double winner in this game, and even if this game is lost, he has no regrets. The narrator said with emotion.
"You're right, the Pistons are really lucky to have won this year's No. 2 rookie and picked up a treasure at the No. 25 pick, and it's really going to rise. This year is worthy of the name of the draft, even the 25th pick rookie has such strength, but if I want to say, although OMG is not good at attacking with the ball now, but his sense of running without the ball is still very strong, and the three-point shot is still so accurate, and the passing ability is still very good, almost can't ask too much, but I still want to say that if he can practice the offense with the ball, as well as defense, Osborne is definitely a superstar material. ”
"You're right, but OMG has only played a preseason game that isn't a regular game, and it's not clear what Osborne's growth limits are, and it will take a season or two to see the potential of the players. At this stage, I am still optimistic about the Lakers, with a luxurious lineup and strong strength, as long as the problem of losing the ball and tactical problems is solved, it is an invincible team. ”
Just when the commentator on the commentary seat was in high spirits, spitting stars flying all over the sky. Osborne on the field was also in a state of shock, he was not shocked by others, but his score and assists had risen so fast, if it weren't for the reminder of the system god, Osborne wouldn't have known such an achievement?
The system god reminded Osborne that he would set an NBA preseason record, which was not as good as the regular season and playoffs, but better than nothing. If Osborne can grab one more rebound, Osborne's youngest triple-double will be recorded on the system's wall of honor, and the system will reward him accordingly. And, of course, Osborne's record of 100 per cent shooting.
When Osborne heard that there was a reward in the system, he was immediately beaming with joy and full of motivation. Then Osborne stopped focusing on scoring, fearing ruining his perfect shooting percentage, and instead focused on grabbing rebounds.
In the Pistons, everyone is a team player, so it is a little scattered in terms of statistics, and many people like to do things like grabbing rebounds, after all, the Pistons are proud of grabbing rebounds defensively, not for scoring more. Osborne's last rebound wasn't that easy to get either.
But Osborne's luck is still very blessed by God, really want to come to something, Kobe Bryant under the defense of Richard Hamilton, hit a piece of iron, Osborne also ignored Ben Wallace, who was waiting for the rebound to fall into his hand, directly jumped up and snatched the rebound from Ben Wallace's head, and then a long throw passed the ball to Hamilton who was playing a fast break, Hamilton grabbed the basketball, and a layup Osborne's triple-double got his hand.
The system god also reminded at the right time, "The host has reached the record of the youngest triple-double, and the reward has been delivered, please check the host." ”
Osborne was very excited when he heard this, but he didn't rush to look at the rewards, because the situation of the game was very anxious, and he didn't have time to look at it carefully.
