Chapter 72: Narrowly Defeated the Celtics (Part I)
"The Pistons seem to be cornered, and if they can't achieve a comeback in the final quarter, the Pistons' winning streak will come to an end, and the undefeated golden body will be broken."
"I don't think the Pistons are willing to throw in the towel, they're going to explode in the final quarter. And I don't think even OMG will let their hard work go to waste. ”
As soon as Osborne returned to the court, he encountered such a crisis, and felt that his time to perform had arrived, and he thought that such a moment would better reflect the value of Osborne, usually looking at the team, and watching the superstar at the critical moment. Osborne came up and threw in a three-pointer to rewrite the score to 85:79, and the Celtics were not to be outdone, with Paul Pierce single-handedly winning 2+1 from Taysa Ann Princes, and then Chauncey Billups also passed the ball to Pistons center Ben Wallace through a wonderful pass.
To say that the Celtics can defend Ben Wallace players do not exist, Ben Wallace is a bug in the eyes of Celtics players, Ben Wallace dunked the ball into the basket by hitting it twice and directly carrying the defense.
The score is still deadlocked, but no one dares to take it lightly, if anyone drops the chain, the winner will be decided. Although the Celtics concentrated the ball on Paul Pierce and Ricky Davis, the Pistons still did not have an advantage, especially not daring to wrap up, because Pierce likes others to wrap him up the most, so that he can play superhuman strength.
"Paul Pearce is unstoppable right now, and that's what a superstar should be, who can turn the game around and lead the team to victory. Osborne, on the other hand, does not have such ability, and he may only be able to play a tailwind game and brush up on the data. ”
"Have you forgotten Osborne's performance in this year's Summer League, where he scored more than a dozen points in the last 40 seconds to win the game."
"It's just summer league, it's not up to NBA level, it's not to be mixed up."
On the court, Osborne also ran very hard, receiving the ball or passing or throwing, and did his best to do his best, while the Pistons performed poorly, as if everyone was not carrying a shooting bag, and their shooting percentage was very pitiful.
And the best illustration of this point is that Ben Wallace dunked the ball away without interference, and the ball really fell directly into Osborne's hands, Osborne's triple-double was also completed, but Osborne was not a little happy, he thought that the Pistons' offense and defense had huge problems.
Osborne began to try to take over the game, otherwise the Pistons would collapse like this, Osborne did not hesitate to pick up the basketball, and directly began to break through the inside, and successfully broke into the Celtics center to block Osborne, and Osborne was also fearless and jumped directly against the defense.
Many people were surprised by Osborne's play, "Osborne seems to be in a hurry, and the result of his small body against the center of the Celtics is self-evident, but I think Osborne should not give up the basketball style he is familiar with, he should still float on the outside to shoot, instead of breaking into the inside, otherwise he will definitely be abuse......d."
It's just that the commentator's words haven't finished yet, Osborne's next move shocked everyone, only to see Osborne pick up a basket with a very difficult hand, directly dodging the defender's block, and also got a free throw opportunity. Osborne scored the ball steadily, and the score came to 96:101 and still trailed the Celtics by five points, with four and a half minutes remaining.
"It's really amzing, Osborne, a player we define as a pitcher, actually broke into the interior and used a very difficult layup to score the ball, I think it's incredible, Osborne is growing faster and faster, and he is not just as simple as a three-point shooter that people know, he also has the outside engine of the Pistons and Mr. Key, and now it seems that Osborne has no flaws in his offensive package in addition to defense, and has become a well-rounded scorer inside and out." This Osborne shouted excitedly.
"Isn't it just a little bit of a difficult layup? Do you preach like that? Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year, this is also worth your bragging, so many difficult layups in the league are not necessarily so exciting, if I want to say it depends on the result, if the Pistons lose to the Celtics at home tonight, everything will be over. ”
When Osborne came down, he turned around directly and began to defend, he didn't want his efforts to be in vain, and the other players of the Pistons were also infected by Osborne's spirit and slowly changed their impetuous mentality.
The Celtics are also nervous, Osborne's performance today is a little abnormal, the pitcher has become a breakthrough, and it is a little difficult to adapt.
But Paul Pierce doesn't care so much, as long as he wins today, the Celtics will have a much easier game in the future, the Celtics have been rebuilding for a few years or it is still helpless, if you don't hurry up Paul Pierce is almost old, he doesn't want to be the uncrowned king, the uncrowned king sounds good, but if there is a chance to win the championship, as a player, no one wants to give up, even if he has a bad reputation.
"It's time for the decisive battle between the two sides, whoever drops the chain will end the game, the Pistons and the Celtics have used the best team winning weapon, the Pistons have started the full-court marking tactics, and the Celtics are superstar basketball, as long as they try to create a single opportunity for Paul Pierce."
The two sides use their own means, you come and go, the Pistons defend tightly, leaving no loopholes, the defensive Celtics except for Paul Pierce's scoring point The shooting rate of other players is very low, and the Celtics are also desperate for the whole team, crazy to create opportunities for Paul Pierce, Paul Pierce also lived up to expectations and firmly guarded the score at a 5-point difference.
After such a period of high-intensity confrontation, Osborne was a little unbearable, he was sweating like rain, you must know that this is the temperature of winter, it is not good to lose too much water, Osborne's state is slowly declining, Larry Brown can also see it, the players are a little tired, and then Larry Brown called a long timeout, and there are two minutes left.
After the game, Osborne asked the system consultant, "I never feel tired from playing, but why am I so tired today?" ”
"You're stupid, it turns out that you're just catching the ball and making a jumper, and your offensive style is monotonous, and now you're still breaking through layups and defending desperately, and now your physical fitness hasn't improved much, can you not get tired?"
"So what should I do? I can't drop the chain at a critical moment for the Pistons, but now is my performance moment, and it's also the moment for my team to stand up, so I can't have an accident. Is there a way to prolong my athleticism? ”
"Yes, that's exercise, or it's a three-quarter clock-out like in the library, which can keep you competitive."
"I'm not asking you this, I mean is there a way to work now, of course, it's not a banned drug or something."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, in fact, you already had this thing, but you didn't care too much. That's the special sports drink that the system provides you, as long as you drink it, you can maintain your energy throughout the game without resting, and of course, this also comes at a price. ”
"At what cost? As long as it's not too harsh, I'm willing. Osborne said.
"Is this the price? Actually, it's not a big deal, its effect is 24 hours, that is, you won't feel tired all day long, and you won't be sleepy, and then after the effect has passed, you will feel very tired and hungry. ”
"What is the price, soeasy, I want to drink, for victory, by the way, there is no forbidden ingredient in this drink." Osborne asked cautiously.
"Don't worry. This drink is the technology of the future, and it will never be detected by the testing institutions on the earth now. ”
Then a Gatorade-style drink appeared in Osborne's hand, and Osborne drank it all, and it felt really good, and the effect was particularly obvious, and the fatigue feeling just now disappeared in an instant. And I have a lot of energy, and my awareness and agility are greatly improved.
As the game started again, Osborne walked up to coach Larry Brown and said, "Can the coach give me the team to organize the offense for a while, and I will lead the team to victory." ”
