Chapter 374: Fight the Lakers again
In the past two days, the news about the finals has been breaking out, some have hyped themselves, some have reported and summarized the experience and lessons of the first game of the finals, and some media predictions about the finals, anyway, some ghosts and snakes are not worth mentioning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Osborne didn't have time to bother with the so-called predictions anyway and do his own thing wholeheartedly, and he didn't have much to do, which was practice, then practice with the Pistons players and occasionally run out to play.
In fact, this situation is similar in the Lakers, even the usually lazy O'Neal is unexpectedly training in the arena, even if he is not willing, but for failure, he can't bear it.
Even Shaquill O'Neal fought so hard, not to mention Kobe Bryant, who played abnormally in the first game of the Finals, which made him very dissatisfied, and he felt that he should not just be at this level, but should step on the colorful auspicious clouds to save the Lakers' heroes.
But the Lakers lost miserably to the Pistons, and he didn't read the media reports in the past two days, but even if he didn't read it, he guessed the content, anyway, there was nothing to see.
And in the first game of the finals, there was a small thing that annoyed him, at the moment when the Lakers were in danger, Phil Jackson chose O'Neal to charge into the battle, from here it can be seen who is the boss of the Lakers, which makes Kobe Bryant very dissatisfied, he feels that his current strength far exceeds O'Neal's, especially O'Neal's body is becoming less and less powerful, as the future boss of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is also thinking about the stable transition of power, Just like Tim Duncan with David Robinson.
It's a pity that O'Neal isn't David Robinson, he's not Tim Duncan, and Phil Jackson isn't Bo. Povich, so none of this can be done with fantasy.
And he can't wait any longer, the first key to becoming the boss of the Lakers is FMVP, as long as he has this, O'Neal will be able to recognize his strength, no longer obsessed with the glory of the past, the news media will unanimously praise him, Lakers owner Buss can also see his strength and potential, and fans and viewers are no longer just concerned about that lazy dead fat man.
Kobe Bryant looked at O'Neal who was training on the side, that kind of intensity was simply pediatric for him, but it was rare to see O'Neal training, if he worked so hard at the beginning, Kobe himself would not dare to take the initiative to seize power.
Time passed quickly, the second game of the Finals went on as scheduled, and the Lakers and Pistons ushered in a second battle at Auburn Hills Palace.
This time, the Lakers players are all murderous and look like they are killing people at every turn, but the Pistons will not admit it, this is their home court, and it is a place where they must defend with all their might, because fans and viewers spend money to buy tickets to watch the game live, to see how they win, not to see how they are abused by their opponents, so in order to defend their dignity, for the sake of the perception of Pistons fans, they must show their hard work and hard work at home.
At the beginning of the game, without any greetings, the Lakers and the Pistons launched a fierce battle, O'Neal also learned to be smart this time, he knew that his bounce height could not catch the jump ball at all, so he simply did not grab, just a symbolic jump, and then he quickly retreated to the restricted area, waiting for the Pistons to attack.
Ben Wallace grabbed the basketball and looked at it and passed the basketball to Chauncey Billups, and Gary Payton's mind at this time was not on Chauncey Billups, but on Oss itself, Chauncey Billups didn't care, his Lakers' formation, and then look at his own formation, and then he shot directly by himself, Gary Payton rarely saw Chauncey Billups score so directly and simply by himself. So he didn't have time to block for a while, and could only watch Chauncey Billups score on a jumper.
Osborne also feels that Chauncey Billups is becoming more and more comfortable, and he is now playing as he pleases.
The Pistons opened with two points, and the Lakers were also preparing to return a ball, Gary Payton knew that he had no way to score, and after he took the basketball past half court, he passed the basketball directly to O'Neal, O'Neal was not in a hurry after receiving the basketball, he first tested the defender a few times, and saw that Rasheed Wallace was restrained by Karl Malone, so he directly carried Ben Wallace to prepare to be strong, although he did not carry Ben Wallace, but he used a small hook under the basket that he had not used for a long time, and threw the basketball into the basket, also scored two points for the Lakers.
Chaunsibilups, as a player with high moral demeanor, couldn't help but say a trash word, "Gary, as the best defensive player, you can't even defend a player like me, and you still want to defend our ace player, I think you better concentrate." ”
Gary Payton, as a grumpy guy, was extremely annoyed by Chauncey Billups's sarcasm, "You guy just scored a two-point shot to dare to be so arrogant, I bet your next score won't be too high, because you've me off." ”
Chauncey Billups as a point guard, he doesn't want to score so many points, just think that the team can win, and scoring is not what a point guard should do, he has always believed that point guards need to do two things defense and passing, of which defense is the basic skill, passing is his own business, if a point guard who can't defend is difficult to call a good point guard, but if he can't pass the ball, then he is not a point guard at all.
In fact, Gary Payton did these two things very well, but he didn't have the ability to score, in fact, Gary Payton turned out to be a violent flow of play, but unfortunately his current shooting is simply miserable, so Chauncey Billups wanted to stimulate Gary Payton to go heads-up, but Gary Payton was not fooled.
Instead, he chose to leave the basketball to Lakers boss O'Neal to handle.
Chauncey Billups didn't talk nonsense, he stopped at the point, he had been watching the position of his teammates, Osborne was caught between two people, and Richard Hamilton had some chances, so he passed the basketball to Richard Hamilton, and Richard Hamilton immediately defended Kobe Bryant as soon as he received the ball.
Richard Hamilton vs. Kobe Bryant, he didn't think he had much of an advantage, but he thought about breaking through with the ball and then splitting the ball.
So Richard Hamilton didn't say a word and dribbled directly through Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant quickly followed, Richard Hamilton didn't have much space, but Osborne was not idle, he also quickly ran near the bottom corner three-point line and waited for Richard Hamilton to pass, Richard Hamilton saw that he couldn't break through Kobe Bryant, but he saw that Osborne was already standing at the bottom corner three-point line, so he faked a real pass and passed the basketball to Osborne.
After Osborne received the ball, Devin George and Karl Malone wanted to come over and attack, but unfortunately it was too late, and Osborne jumped up directly to pull a three-point shot. (To be continued.) )
