These games are not too difficult, only the Warriors are a little more troublesome, and the other two teams are no threat to the Pistons.

So the Pistons swept all the way again, taking out the New York Knicks at home, the Lakers on the road, and then the Warriors on the road.

Against the New York Knicks, the Pistons didn't go too far because the New York Knicks came from afar, but just lightly abused the Knicks, and if the game was at the Madison Center Garden Arena, they might still play to their heart's content.

The Knicks' Steve Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Alan Houston, Tim Thomas, Cott Thomas, and Nazr Mohammed are all scorers to be reckoned with, but their defense is just too bad.

After a short battle, the two sides also tied the game, and the Pistons only led the Knicks by one point at halftime 54:53, but in the second half of the game, the Pistons strengthened their interior defense and strengthened their outside offense, and all Knicks players who tried to break through would be blocked on the inside of the Pistons.

And the Knicks couldn't defend the Pistons, so in the second half, the Pistons beat the Knicks 49-39, and finally the Pistons won the game with a 103-92 victory over the Knicks. Osborne didn't play much in this game, he cut 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, while Stephen Marbury got 29 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.

After killing the Knicks at home, they traveled all the way to the Los Angeles Lakers' Staples Arena as a guest, and when they played against the Lakers, Osborne actually saw Kobe Bryant sitting on the bench in a suit, looking at everything around him with an indifferent expression.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was out of action due to injury, then this Lakers team has no resistance at all, so Larry Brown is not ready to spend too much time, asking the players to kill the Lakers as quickly as they can, as quickly as they can kill the Lakers, after all, they also have to think about the playoffs, and there is no need to waste time with a team like the Lakers who can't make the playoffs.

The game started to be quite exciting, Lamar Odom temporarily played well as the boss of the Lakers, and the Lakers players in the first quarter of the game were also powerful, Lamar Odom, Kaloon Butler, Chris Mime, all played, and the Lakers led the Pistons by one point at 26:25 in the first quarter.

This gave people a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately after the Lakers players' three-board axe was over, it was the turn of the Pistons to perform.

The Pistons players came back in the second quarter and attacked wildly, and soon the Pistons led the Lakers by 7 points at 42:35, and then the Pistons did not intend to stop, and in the third quarter of the game was another wild bombardment, and the Pistons led the Lakers by 14 points at 73:59 after the third quarter.

The Lakers directly announced their surrender in the last quarter, otherwise the Lakers' backward score would definitely be even greater. So the Lakers were taken away from the game by the Pistons in waves, and even Osborne didn't have the heart to brush up on the data, because this Lakers team was terrible, except for Kobe Bryant, no player scored more than twenty, and even the original old team was scrapped, Derrick Fisher left the Golden State Warriors, and only one Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, and Guise Atkins scored double-doubles.

In the end, the Pistons defeated the Lakers 109-93, and Osborne easily scored 33 points. After the end of the game, Osborne also gave Kobe Bryant a hug and greetings, after all, this is the darkest year for the Lakers, there is almost no hope, Kobe Bryant is also very friendly to accept Osborne's kindness, after all, he has no energy to provoke Osborne for the time being.

After a relaxing evening at Staples Arena, they made an overnight trip to the Golden State Warriors' Oracle Arena, where they can return to their home court after taking on the Warriors on the road.

In fact, this Warriors team is also a mess, the team leader is Jason Richardson, but due to the mid-term trade, the trade came to Byron Davis, he has a strong ability and a very strong personality, and immediately showed an anti-guest posture after coming here, and the other players don't know who to support.

So although this team is not as strong as Stephen Curry later, it is also a hard bone, the year Dirk Nowitzki was black-eight was dominated by Byron Davis, Jason Richardson, Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Clay Scotton, plus a large group of bench bandits.

The game went as scheduled, Troy Murphy grabbed the basketball and passed it to Byron Davis, Byron Davis's first task as the starting point guard must be to pass the ball to organize the offense, but he directly chose to attack, he shot a difficult three-pointer against Chauncey Billups, he wanted to try his touch, if it was good, he insisted on attacking himself, if it was not good, he chose to organize the offense.

The first shot was very crisp, the basketball went directly into the net, the Warriors opened the three-pointer, and the Pistons also passed a simple pass to Osborne, who quickly returned a three-pointer in response.

The Pistons players don't know enough about the strength of the Warriors, because the Warriors are not even a playoff team, and they are not qualified to compete with the Pistons at all, but this is not the case, the Warriors and the Pistons are evenly matched, and no one can stop anyone, in the first quarter of the game, Byron Davis and Jason Richardson teamed up to contribute 25 points, and the Warriors led the Pistons by one point at 31:30.

At this time, Larry Brown realized the strength of the Warriors, and he quickly formulated a countermeasure to suppress Byron Davis's play, Osborne felt that there was no need for such trouble, and the offense could solve the problem, but Larry Brown would not be so risky, and he still arranged an isolation tactic for Byron Davis.

This tactic is used to contain Byron Davis, not only does he not allow him to connect with his teammates, but even his individual offense must be limited.

The restrictions on Byron Davis were effective, but the rest of the Warriors' players stepped up, Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy, to their advantage.

Mike Dunleavy made three three-pointers to help the Warriors stabilize the situation, Troy Murphy also scored multiple two-pointers, and Ben Wallace is a little bit unscrupulous with this type of center, although he has no power, but he has a good offensive skill.

The two teams just scored one goal, and I played the game to the end, and at the end the Pistons finally began to exert their power and showed the momentum of the defending champions.

Tysa Amplins made a steal and passed to Chauncey Billups, who in turn passed to Osborne, who got a crucial three-pointer and the Pistons narrowly outscored the Warriors 109-106.

The Pistons ended the month of February with a stellar performance, and Osborne deservedly won the honorary title of February Player of the Month. (To be continued.) )
