After easily getting the Boston Celtics, the Pistons and other players had to rush to the Indiana Pacers to be guests, speaking of which the Indiana Pacers are also the feud of the Pistons, but because the Pacers have declined too fast in the past two years, the Pacers' media attention has dropped a lot.

Since Reggie Miller's retirement, the Indiana Pacers have begun to decline, this is not to say how strong Reggie Miller is, but from this time on, the Pacers seem to have been abandoned by God, and the main players have been injured from time to time and have been out for a period of time, like this season, their core Jermaine O'Neal's attendance rate is a little low, and the other core Pejastojakovic's attendance rate is not high.

Like other starters, only Stephen Jackson, Anthony Johnson, Danny Granger, and Sarunas Jascovy Hughes barely reached the normal appearance rate, but these guys are the main force on the surface, but their strength is far from the level of the main players.

It can be said that injuries have successfully ruined this team, but for the Pacers, the Pistons have always seen and played once, and they will never show mercy.

After arriving at the Indiana Pacers' home court, the crowd here still didn't welcome the Pistons players because they believed that the Pistons had stolen the Pacers' championship by despicable means.

However, this will only make the Pistons players more disdainful, after all, the Pacers are no longer qualified to play against the Pistons, they are not so high-profile, and the Pistons may not notice this old enemy.

But the Pacers still dare to provoke the Pistons like this, which makes the Pistons very unhappy, and it just so happens that the Pistons have encountered all kinds of unpleasant things in the past few days, so they need to vent their frustration.

The game started in an unfriendly atmosphere, the players sent by the Pacers were some not very well-known players, and the team's boss Jermaine O'Neal was absent due to injury, Pejastojakovic was also absent due to injury, and the other main players were almost injured, so they had to temporarily send such a lineup, center Jeff Foster, big forward Scott Pollard, small forward Danny Granger, scoring guard Stephen Jackson, and point guard Jamar Tinsley.

This lineup is still pieced together, and in the eyes of the Pistons, this lineup is not threatening at all.

However, Osborne knows that Danny Granger is a potential stock in this lineup, and he will grow into the boss of the Pacers in the next few years, but his peak period is too short, and injuries make him lose the position of boss, and then Paul George quickly ascended to the position, and when he recovers from his injury, the Pacers will not have his place.

There are not many such careers, not to mention that it is a little sad, but after all, this is a place for the capable to go up and down for the mediocre, so I can't complain about others because of my lack of strength.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Pacers center Jeff Foster grabbed the basketball and then handed it to Danny Granger, it seems that he recognizes Danny Granger's strength very much, Danny Granger has rarely performed well in the past two seasons, and currently averages only 8.7 points per game, because he is not Jermaine O'Neal, nor Pejastojakovic, so the number of shots is naturally not as many as theirs.

And he's not the Pacers' third choice, but the nth option, so although he has a lot of appearances, he has almost no shots, and his teammates generally pass the basketball to interior players.

Danny Granger looked at the Pistons defender Richard Hamilton, and he knew that Richard Hamilton's defense was also very powerful, so he was not in a hurry to attack.

Instead, he observed the situation, but Richard Hamilton didn't give him too much time, and pounced directly, Danny Granger directly resisted Richard Hamilton with his body, and then used his back single, Richard Hamilton couldn't keep up with Danny Granger's footsteps, and watched Danny Granger score the first goal.

Then Richard Hamilton also performed his off-ball running skills, his feints were very real, shaking Danny Granger so much that he didn't know what to do, Osborne saw that Danny Granger couldn't catch up with Richard Hamilton's rhythm at all, and then Richard Hamilton received a pass from Chauncey Billups and completed a beautiful middle shot, and cheered for Richard Hamilton in his heart.

Richard Hamilton has been very generous since Osborne came to give up the core position, and then Osborne was squeezed out of the starting position without complaint, but Osborne himself complained that Richard Hamilton dragged the Pistons back, which is really undeserved.

However, the players on the Pacers' side are not to be outdone, after all, the Pistons are the sworn enemies of the Pacers, even if they can't play on the surface, they must play a good game, they will not retreat without a fight, their point guard Jamal Tinsley easily passed Chauncey Billups assist center Jeff Foster scored a beautiful open connection.

Then the humiliated Danny Granger also stole Richard Hamilton and then made a layup, which was regarded as revenge for the arrow just now.

Osborne didn't expect the Pacers to fight so hard even without the main players, and it seems that the hatred between the Pistons and the Pacers is really unsolvable.

In this case, he simply abused the Pacers while the Pistons were strong, and they were always unconvinced, so Osborne also reached out for the ball, he couldn't stand on the court all the time, he had to perform, otherwise the limelight would be stolen by his teammates.

For Osborne's ball, Chauncey Billups couldn't ignore it, and directly handed the ball to Osborne to deal with, Osborne looked at the defensive player in front of him Stephen Jackson was very disdainful, he hated the kind of person who was obviously not very good, but he just couldn't do it, the Pacers players were such people, he ignored the defense and solved the battle with a dry pull-out jumper.

Osborne now finally knows why the Pistons are declining so quickly, because the spirit of his main core has changed, he used to worship individual heroism and always look forward to being able to beat all the teams on his own, but now he likes to rely on others.

Although teammates are very important, it is more important to have the spirit of perseverance, to use their own spirit to motivate their teammates, so that teammates also have this fighting spirit.

It's not an excuse to use age as an excuse, but to build a spirit of starting from scratch and get rid of those players who don't want to make progress, so that the Pistons won't decline so quickly.
