The Pistons fielded the lineup in the final quarter: center Eric Campbell, power forward Ben Wallace, small forward Tysha Amplins, point guard Lincy Hunter, and scoring guard Richard Hamilton.

At first, the Nets saw the Pistons withdraw their offensive lineup and switch to a defensive lineup, and they thought they had a chance to recover the score.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Pistons' defensive lineup players in the fourth quarter were not inferior to the offensive lineup players in the third quarter.

The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was quite fierce, without distinction. The Nets played tired and hard.

Osborne felt that playing the Nets at this pace would definitely lose, and if the main team of the Nets could not complete the task of chasing points in the third quarter, then they could announce their surrender, and the fourth quarter would become garbage time, and Osborne would not have to play.

Osborne looked at the Nets who were struggling like this, and felt that the Nets would definitely not admit defeat easily, and they would explode at some point and fight for it.

Maybe it's Osborne's crow's mouth, or maybe the Nets really don't want to give up easily. After all, the Nets are the nemesis and arch-rivals of the Pistons, and they must have something unique about him.

The Nets' Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson both worked together to contribute 10 points, and Kenyon Martin also had 8 points and 4 rebounds. Although the Nets' effective shooting percentage was low, they still recovered a lot of points when they took a lot of shots, chasing it to 88:90, only two points behind.

However, although the players on the Pistons on the court lacked offensive ability, due to the strength of the team, center Campbell and scoring guard Hamilton also teamed up to score 8 points, so that the Nets would not catch up with the score, firmly lock the lead at more than six points, and not give the Nets any chance to surpass.

Other fans and spectators on the court cheered for the Nets, and the momentum was shocking, Osborne looked at this situation, Osborne felt that the Nets would definitely make a move, after all, the fans were encouraged, if they didn't make some achievements, how could they be worthy of the audience.

Sure enough, Jason Kidd finally took the lead and turned on the explosive mode, first hitting a direct three-point shot, then assisting Kenyon Martin to score two points, and then stealing Lincy Hunter to score a fast-break layup, and the Nets chased the score to 97:102 in less than two minutes.

Head coach Larry Brown finally couldn't help it, he didn't expect the Nets to be so fierce in the last quarter, and they would catch up if they didn't adjust, it seems that the team system has a long way to go, and called a timeout three minutes before the end.

"Look at your performance on the field, it's really bad, I want you to go up and defend, you can't stop it, you can't score if you want to. Do you want to dig a big hole for everyone else? ”

Then Larry Brown turned to Osborne and ordered: "Osborne will still be played by you and Richard Hamilton for a while, don't give the Nets a chance, show your talent to the fullest." ”

Although Osborne was a little tired, Osborne was quite happy to see Larry Brown think of him at a critical moment, and if he performed better, his status in the team would be higher and higher.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Osborne also gave a naval salute.

Then Larry Brown sent his strongest lineup, but the center was replaced by Ben Wallace, the big forward was first used by Prince, and the small forward was used by Osborn, so that Osborne, Richard Hamilton and Ben Wallace all three positions have a certain advantage.

The Nets still haven't replaced the troika, and the rest of the positions have been replaced by the best offensive players.

In terms of the physical strength and condition of the main players, the Pistons have a great advantage, but basketball is round, and anything can happen.

Osborne thought that his three-point shooting skills had not been properly developed, and now he was familiar with it.

At the beginning of the game, Osborne was not in a hurry to attack, first completed an empty connection with Ben Wallace, and then received a pass from Billups, hit a reflexive jump shot for two points, and then used a back turn to break through the ball to Chauncy Billups A pass, Billups did not expect to be able to receive passes from others during the offense, but Billups is also a big heart, received the ball and scored two points directly, and Osborne earned another assist.

At the beginning of the game, it seemed like it was back to the beginning of the third quarter, when the Nets began to trail the Pistons by nine points again, and there was not much time to play, with two and a half minutes left, and if the Nets didn't hurry, the Nets would have no way back.

The Nets' leading point guard Jason Kidd as the leader, he also needs to do something, and then Kidd began to use his teammates to block and run, and played a classic switchback run with Richard Jefferson, Jefferson dunked down, and then Kenyon Martin also used his physical advantage to carry Prince alone, Prince couldn't resist Kenyon Martin, and could only watch Kenyon Martin dunk the ball into the basket.

Osborne felt that it was time to end the game, and if he continued to play like this, the players of both teams would definitely be exhausted, and the smell of gunpowder between the two teams was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a clash if it didn't happen.

The Pistons and Nets are also getting more and more defensive moves, especially Kenyon Martin and Ben Wallace.

Osborne turned on his own attacking mode, and he told Chauncey Billups about the situation: "Chauncey, I'll try to run out of space in a while, you pass the ball to me, and I'll finish this game." ”

Chauncy Billups didn't know where Osborne's confidence came from, but Osborne could still be trusted, so Billups nodded in agreement.

Osborne then desperately switched back and used his teammates as a wall to create space for him.

Osborne just ran out of the open space when Billups' pass arrived, Osborne received the ball and turned directly to step back for a jumper, and Osborne scored the ball with a dashing Kobe-style step-back jumper.

Then Osborne stopped keeping his hands and directly used his three-point shooting skills.

In the last two minutes, he almost took all the team's shots, he hit 5 three-pointers in a row and slashed 15 points, directly breaking the Nets' dream of chasing points, and the Nets fought to the end and did not escape the fate of failure, but it was all due to the crazy play of Osborne in the end, and the tenacious defense of other Pistons teammates to win this game.

The battle of the old enemy finally ended with the Pistons' victory. The Pistons beat the Nets by seven points, 125-118, to usher in their four-game winning streak of the season.
