Chapter 515 Counterattack Failed
At halftime, there was silence in the Pistons locker room, and no one dared to speak, honestly waiting for the trial of head coach Larry Brown, who had just boasted about Haikou, but the current situation was humiliating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Cavaliers players were all in high spirits, laughing and laughing all the way into the locker room, and they didn't know that they thought they had won?
LeBron James was also very excited to see his happy teammates, but he was still a little worried, after all, the game is not over yet, and he can't be so disgraceful, he must be restrained, his current data is 26 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds of quasi-triple-double data, if nothing else, he will definitely get a triple-double data.
The Pistons' stats weren't so impressive, Osbourne barely scored 22 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the half, and he only scored 4 points in the second quarter.
Coach Larry Brown finally walked to the Pistons locker room, after he walked in, the Pistons locker room was even quieter, even the sound of people's breathing could be heard, Larry Brown didn't know what else to say, Osborne is the most consistent player on the Pistons, and if they all behave like this, then the performance of other players is understandable.
Osborne was so ashamed that he didn't speak anymore and waited for Larry Brown to speak.
Larry Brown was silent for a while, and then finally said: "I don't want to say anything more now, look at your own performance, if you are really not satisfied with your performance, then you should know what to do next, our Pistons have never fallen behind by so many points, but the game is not over yet, you all still have a chance, whether it is self-redemption or self-destruction, it depends on your performance in the second half, I will emphasize one more sentence now, if you don't have an offensive touch, you will play tactics, and if you can't play tactics, you will desperately defend." There will always be a chance to turn the tables around. ”
Larry Brown walked straight out of the locker room, leaving time for the Pistons players to reflect.
Time ticked by, the halftime was over quickly, and the second half finally began.
The Pistons struggled today, but they couldn't give up because they still had three more road battles here, and this first road was so unbearable, and if this game collapsed, the Pistons would be finished.
At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the Cavaliers still chose to attack frantically, while the Pistons started desperate defense, the two teams played happily, LeBron James was not in a hurry to attack by himself, he organized his teammates to score first, and got the triple-double data in hand, not to mention that his teammates really gave face, he passed the basketball to the outside Jeff McGinnis with a breakthrough point, Jeff McGinnis shot a three-pointer with a knife, Chauncy Billups was very annoyed, he just patronized the defense LeBron James, Didn't notice Jeff McGinnis on the outside.
LeBron James's assist data is also double-doubled, just off rebounding, but both teams are very fierce in offense and defense, so there is often such a thing as rebounding, LeBron James also relied on his flexibility, bounce, and card awareness, he quickly grabbed one rebound after another, and his rebounds finally exceeded 10.
When LeBron James got a triple-double, he had no other worries and began to score like crazy to help the Cavaliers pull the score.
However, his offense also suddenly had problems, he missed two consecutive shots, and his attempt to dunk in the air also failed. And the opponent Osborne's three-point shot finally improved somewhat, Osborne found space to shoot with the help of Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace's double cover, and he scored a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.
Then he did the same, shooting three three-pointers in a row, and Osborne's three-pointer was very timely, which finally helped the Pistons continue to survive, so as not to let the Cavaliers pull the score too wide.
When Osborne made another three-pointer, the Cavaliers finally called a timeout to adjust.
At this time, the difference between the Pistons and the Cavaliers was only in single digits, and there was still an 8-point difference, and three three-pointers could solve the problem.
Larry Brown was not surprised by Osborne's sudden outburst, but he said to the other players: "You guys just played well, but you can't relax, you have to go straight to the Cavaliers in one go, you know, you can't give them any chance to counterattack, even if they counterattack, you have to withstand their counterattack." ”
After the timeout, there were 5 minutes left in the game, and the Cavaliers still led the Pistons by 8 points at 79:71, I don't know if the Cavaliers' timeout adjustment worked, and the offensive touch of the Pistons players was cold and abnormal, even Osborne missed consecutive shots, fortunately their defense was doing well, and the Cavaliers' offense was also a mess, so the last five minutes of the third quarter became an iron battle.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons trailed the Cavaliers by 10 points at 76:86, and the game entered the final quarter, and the Cavaliers were in a good situation. If they can hold on, they are about to face a bright future, and if they can't hold on, the Cavaliers will lose their efforts and fall directly into hell.
In the fourth quarter, the two sides played the game with a desperate mood, the defense of both sides was very desperate, there was a lot of physical contact, and the smell of gunpowder was also full, but unfortunately this is the home court of the Cavaliers, so the referee's whistle will definitely be biased towards the Cavaliers, especially some vague fouls, he will award them to the Pistons, which is very bad for the Pistons' defense.
So three minutes into the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' lead tended to widen, and Larry Brown quickly called a timeout to adjust, and he asked the players to calm down and use the strongest offense to break the Cavaliers.
After the timeout, the emotions of the Pistons players became calmer, their defensive moves were much cleaner, and they still played defensive counterattack tactics, forcing the Cavaliers to attack for 24 seconds many times, shooting iron, and they in turn surprised the Cavaliers.
Seeing that the score gap is narrowing again, Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas also called a timeout to adjust the offensive firepower.
But this time the Cavaliers' adjustment did not have any effect, after coming back, they were still trapped in the Pistons' ironclad defense, made many mistakes, and let the Pistons play counterattacks, the score gap is getting smaller and smaller, the Cavaliers players are very anxious, the more anxious they are, the more mistakes they make, and the more they shoot.
In the last three minutes, the Pistons finally tied the score, but in the final battle, the Pistons seized the opportunity to play a 10-3 attack wave in one fell swoop, directly taking away the game in waves, and finally the Pistons defeated the Cavaliers 101-94.
This result made LeBron James very frustrated, originally he thought that this game was a counterattack battle, but in the end the counterattack failed, and the fate of being swept out of the game was in front of him, which was really a very annoying feeling. (To be continued.) )
