By the end of the third quarter, James' statistics had reached a terrifying 40 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, but such brilliant statistics did not help the Cavaliers take the lead, but still trailed the Pistons by 8 points.

This is actually not James' fault, first of all, the Pistons have blossomed more, and secondly, the Cavaliers really don't have many helpers to share the pressure on James, as can be seen from James's assist data, you must know that James, as a player who loves to pass the ball, ended the third quarter with so many assist statistics, which fully shows how bad the Cavaliers' player status is.

But Osborne didn't pay attention to that, anyway, his task was to win, he didn't care about anything else, and he took time to rest during the third quarter break, because he knew that the Cavaliers would definitely fight back in the final quarter.

And Larry Brown on the sidelines gathered the defenders and instructed: "In the last quarter, you must greet James well, I don't want the Pistons to abandon their original foundation, if you can't limit James's scoring to less than 50, you don't say that you are a defensive expert in the future, I feel a little ashamed to hear it, after all, the opponent has cut super statistics in two consecutive games, I don't think this is what a team that started defense should see." ”

Larry Brown's words deeply stimulated the Pistons' defensive players, Ben Wallace, Taysa Ann Prince, and Elden Campbell were not very good-looking, but they were all ruthless in their hearts. After all, it is impossible for Iverson to get high scores as a superstar if he can get high scores in a row, but James as a rookie is simply a slap in the face to score so many points.

After the return of the fourth quarter. These people all had a special feeling, and the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense. Osborne knew that this was the final showdown, and both sides were cautious and calm.

The referee's whistle blew. The Cavaliers took the lead in attacking, only to see that the main players of the Cavaliers quickly used the transfer ball to find a favorable position, James did not attack himself after receiving the ball, but looked at the position of his teammates, now is the decisive moment, must not make a mistake, he signaled Ilgoskas to come out to block and dismantle the cover, Ilgoskas blocked Tysa Amprins, James a quick start to shake off the defenders. However, Ben Wallace and Taysha Ampulins of the Pistons also quickly dispatched to contain James, and James was actually ready at this time, he threw the ball into the sky and then a tall figure caught the basketball and dunked directly.

Osborne saw that James and Ilgoskas played a tacit match, but he knew that if he wanted to say who had the best tacit understanding with James in the Cavaliers, there was no doubt that it was Ilgoskas, and their blocking, picking, and splitting and air-cutting cooperation was quite classic, so later people said that as long as James was equipped with a center who could block and cover and grab rebounds, such a team would already have enough strength, of course, that was a joke. After Osborne saw James, the team's standard was a three-point shooter.

It was the Pistons' turn to attack, and the Pistons began to use the most basic style of play, which was to have multiple people on the offense until the open space was passed. Chauncey Billups passes the ball to Osborne, who passes the ball to Tysian Springs, who in turn passes the ball back to Billups. Billups still didn't shoot, and he feigned a breakthrough. Then only then did the shot hit.

The Cavaliers and Pistons didn't expect a tactical confrontation at the beginning, and it was obvious that there was a gap between the tactical literacy of the two teams. Of course, the appearance of James makes these gaps not so obvious.

Then James played a more classic style of play, he first broke through Prince and then passed the basketball to Ilgoskas, who in turn passed the ball back to James, and James received the ball with a powerful tomahawk slam.

James landed and yelled loudly after dunking, and the audience was boiling, but Osborne stood aside and quietly watched James pretend to be there, and Osborne felt that it was normal for James not to make those exaggerated expressions, but once he made a yelling expression that was really super like a gorilla, this is fate, no way, after all, Kobe Bryant's yelling also makes him feel pleasing to the eye.

James's score again made the Pistons defenders who had just finished the guarantee feel very embarrassed, it was really a slap in the face every minute, which was unbearable.

This also embarrassed Larry Brown, who was on the sidelines, and said that what about the guarantee? Just say it's lost, it's lost.

But Osborne doesn't care, he's only responsible for winning, and leaving the rest to his cute teammates. Osborne saw James with an excited face, and immediately said in his heart: Don't be happy too early, let you cry and laugh for a while, and be happy and sad.

Billups is still so calmly dribbling the ball and looking at the defensive player Jeff McGinnis in front of him, but he is looking at other defenders in his heart, he quickly passed the basketball to Osborne, Osborne is not in a hurry, now the initiative is on the side of the Pistons, and the longer the time drags on, the better it will be for his side.

When there were five seconds left in the offensive time, Osborne passed the ball to Tysian Springs, and then used his body to block James's interference, and Prince also used his soft touch to shoot a mid-range shot, which made Prince very relieved, after all, he was bullied by James for a whole game, because James always likes to crush him with his physical talents.

James felt that he was being played by a group of thin players, and he was very angry, and he also felt that the defense of the Cavaliers was really terrible, and he was blocked by someone and no one came to make up for the defense, which was what made James the most angry.

Then James didn't need any tactics to cooperate, he felt that it was better to rely on a simple and rough way to solve the battle with the use of tactics, James's simple and rough way was to crush talent.

Then he was going to start rampage again, tactics or something, the most uncomfortable thing for him, it was even more difficult than Zhang Fei's embroidery, James signaled his teammates to distance him, don't block his breakthrough inside, but what he didn't know was that Pistons head coach Larry Brown had already arranged to deal with James, it was a strategy, let go of the shot.

James, who broke into the inside line, found that there were really a lot of people on the Pistons inside, and most of them were greeting people, so James was directly pushed out by the Pistons' Big Ben Wallace, and at this time James was not comparable to Ben Wallace in strength at all, so James was pushed on his back.

Ben Wallace's behavior made the referee give him a foul, although it was not a malicious foul, but it also got a warning, and Wallace didn't care about this, he also said to James: "Boy, don't think about breaking through to the Pistons in the future, this place has been blocked by us, if you still don't know what to do, then you are ready to lie down and go out." ”

James had no expression on his face, but he was still a little stunned in his heart. (To be continued.) )
