Chapter 103: Osborne is abandoned

Osborne looked at it carefully for a while, and there was still no improvement in defense, just looking at what others did, there would be no actual improvement at all.

Osborne looked at his stats again, scoring 18 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, even if Osborne stopped playing in the next game, it was not too embarrassing.

However, although Osborne's statistics are gorgeous, his statistics of Pejastojakovic defending the Kings are also gorgeous, with 20 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds, so Osborne is now more and more inconsistent with the requirements of the Pistons to build a defensive team, so Larry Brown can't stand Osborne's defense, so Osborne was replaced as a cold bench.

According to the previous games, basically every player who is against Osborne can play an All-Star level of strength, this is not that Osborne's opponent is too strong, this is really Osborne's defense is too weak, Osborne is almost undefended, and James Harden's eye defense is not much better, or even worse, because James Harden at least uses his eyes to defend, but Osborne has almost no defensive ideas. This is the point that makes Larry Brown the most unacceptable, the attitude problem, the bad attitude.

In fact, this is a wrongful Osborne, Osborne only played wild ball for a period of time in his previous life, which is a slight achievement, but everyone who plays wild ball knows that wild ball does not need much defense at all, you just need your offensive ability to be super strong, so Osborne really can't defend, and he doesn't have the idea of taking the initiative to defend, as an Osborn who has just entered the league and has not played a few regular games, his professional basketball literacy needs to be improved, which is not something that can be made up with the so-called plug-in, It's still up to Osborne to slowly accumulate experience on his own.

That's why Osborne feels wronged, obviously the offensive ability is strong enough, why do you suddenly ask to defend well, if Osborne can really practice defense well, then wouldn't other rookie players have to become superstars, Osborne feels that Larry Brown is a little greedy and insufficient.

Osborne sat on the bench, looking at Larry Brown on the sidelines with deep resentment, snarling at the players on the field. Larry Brown also seemed to feel a deep resentment coming over him, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, because the Pistons' on-court performance was not as good as it used to be, which made Larry Brown feel like he was punching himself in the face.

Although he was a little annoyed with Larry Brown, Osborne still didn't want the team to lose, so he took a serious look at the game on the court, and the current performance of the Pistons players made Osborne really eye-opening, because the Kings and the Pistons were about to fight because of the bigger and bigger defensive actions, and the fans and spectators of the Kings were also scolding the Pistons for playing dirty, and the smell of gunpowder on the court was getting heavier and heavier, and only one fuse was left to explode.

It seems that the Pistons' iron-blooded defense is taking shape, but Osborne feels that he is still not very suitable for iron-blooded defense, because Osborne thinks that iron-blooded defense is dirty defense to a certain extent, but the name is a little better. With the exception of the Pistons and Spurs, no fan would enjoy this kind of lethargic game.

Osborne still remembers the 2004~2005 season finals, which was played by the Spurs vs Pistons, this series of games created the lowest level of NBA ratings in the past two decades, so that Mr. David Stern, the president of the league, once intentionally or unintentionally pointed out that it is necessary to try to make the Spurs unable to reach the finals, because the Spurs are the enemy of ratings, without ratings, the fan base, the foundation of the NBA's existence is gone, then the NBA cannot be called a commercial league.

So Osborne will never use iron-blooded defense, he just wants to end the game with a super attack, and look at the enemy with a helpless look.

"Now the Pistons' offensive efficiency is really low, I don't know why we don't replace players with strong offensive ability to improve the team's offensive weakness, in fact, I know what the reason is, that is, Osborne was abandoned by Pistons head coach Larry Brown, although this is unimaginable, but this is a fact, because there is a video to prove that Osborne did not communicate with the head coach after he got off the court, and even the two of them had black faces. All of this is evidence of Osborne's conflict with the manager. ”

Listening to the explanation of the Kings DJ, everyone looked suddenly realized, no wonder the Pistons played so hard, and when the team fell behind by a large score, Larry Brown did not replace Osborne to save the game, it seems that there is really a contradiction.

And Larry Brown's next behavior confirms the contradiction between him and Osborne.

The performance of the Pistons in the second quarter of the game is simply not as good as a piece of Xiang, although the defense has come up, but the offensive ability has greatly declined, in the second quarter of the game, the Pistons on the court only 20 shots, and only hit 4 two-point shots, the shooting rate is as low as an astonishing 20%, and the second quarter score is only 8 points, not as high as Osborne's random three-point shots? The Kings didn't shoot a little more than 30 percent from the field, but they shot a lot, with the team hitting 11 shots 38 times, including five three-pointers, six two-pointers, and a whopping 10 free throws, scoring a total of 37 points in the second quarter.

The Kings opened up the score in the second quarter, and at halftime, the Kings led the Pistons by 19 points at 58:39, despite such an unfavorable situation, Osborne still did not get playing time, which is not normal in the eyes of some commentators and sports media reporters, Osborne, who was originally the team's scoring champion and triple-double king, was abandoned by Larry Brown, which is really big news.

Then the good thing media hastened to take advantage of the halftime break to interview Pistons head coach Larry Brown.

The reporter asked: "Mr. Brown, what do you think of the Pistons' performance in the second quarter?" ”

Larry Brown was very irritable, but he still replied patiently: "I won't say much about how he performs, it's not as good as a bull****." ”

The reporter then asked: "Then may I ask Coach Brown, why did you change to OMG when the team was so unfavorable, did something happen between you, can you explain it in detail?" ”

Larry Brown was clearly prepared and replied: "First of all, I didn't bring in Osborne because of the team's normal rotation lineup, and Osborne was also very tired, so I just gave him a quarter to rest, and there was no conflict between the two of us. Osborne will definitely play in the third quarter, thank you. ”
