Osborne was shocked by Kobe's tenacity and determination, and he would not back down because of the strength of his opponent, but fought more and more until he won completely.

"Hey, Kobe, you don't mind if I call you that, I think you're really a paranoid, but your desire to win is still so strong, we really have something in common, I still admire your good luck." Osborne teased Kobe Bryant, who was dribbling.

Kobe Bryant seemed to understand the meaning of Osborne's words, obviously didn't pay attention to Osborne who was talking to him, and concentrated on breaking through to beat Osborne, Kobe's back playing skills were already at a very high level, and he turned around and scored the ball with a backward jumper. Then he said to Osborne.

"Boy, your basketball level can't keep up with your brain, you still need to practice, and you talk too much, it's a man who uses basketball to kill each other."

After speaking, he ignored Osborne and turned around and left, Osborne was a little embarrassed at this time, how could this episode seem like he was provoking a good person, but he was a bad person.

Forget it, I still don't want to do this, let's finish the game first, now the team is still two points behind the Lakers, there is less than a minute left, you must know that the Pistons and the Lakers have been deadlocked until now, it is really not easy.

The Pistons' starters are full of all-rounders, and the Lakers are a little vain, although it is a shocking F4 lineup, but the kung fu of Karl Malone and Gary Payton is really less than 4 percent.

Especially Karl Malone, without John Stockton, who worked closely with him, his offensive ability has dropped by half, he is already 38 years old, and he should have retired to retire to his old age, but for the sake of the championship, for the sake of his career without regrets, he still persevered, and left his hometown to come to the Lakers. also has a bad reputation of being a traitor and hugging his thighs, just for the dream in his heart.

The Lakers players present now are all substitutes except for O'Neal and Kobe, and Derrick Fisher still has the strength of some starters, but the other players are only bench strength, and even have the strength of substitutes.

So the current Lakers are relying on the OK combination to maintain themselves, but the Pistons are different, among the starting five Tigers, except for Osborne, they are all Pistons 04 championship-winning players, playing with ease, and the Lakers only have two firepower points, Kobe and O'Neal.

The Pistons don't need Osborne to score now, they just need him to be able to entangle Kobe Bryant, but Osborne's strength at this time is not enough to defend Kobe, let alone defend it.

But Osborne is not worried, he still has a stunt to defend at this time, that is, trash talk defense, if he can't provoke Kobe, he can only use Hakishi's eye defense. Now Osborne really doesn't have any defensive skills, and his body can't keep up with Kobe, only the offense and passing still have a certain level, otherwise Larry Brown would have let Osborne off the court.

Osborne knows that at this point in the game, he can't stop Kobe Bryant, or even limit it, and all he can do now is help the team find a convenient way to score goals and assist other teammates to score.

Osborne dribbled the ball and looked at the menacing Kobe, who knew that Kobe Bryant's pressing defense was a threat for his slender physique.

Osborne carefully guarded the ball to prevent Kobe from making a steal, and then read the time on the timer with 44 seconds left, little by little, Osborne's eyes were looking for the position of his teammates, seeing Billups and Hamilton trying to get rid of the opponent's interference, Ben Wallace was also trying to resist O'Neal, and only Tyshire Ann Prince had some gaps.

Osborne then decided to make a bold decision to try and break through Kobe Bryant. Osborne's offensive ability with the ball is really not very good, but Osborne has a plug-in after all, and he tells the system god his idea, and then exchanges it for a Tim Hardaway crossover temporary skill.

When there were 35 seconds left in the time, a crossover was used, and I have to say that Osborne's action was still very complete, leaving Kobe behind, but Kobe Bryant quickly followed up, and he was also shocked just now, he didn't expect this rookie to be able to use such a magic skill as crossover, and he was shaken without caring about it, but then he clung to Osborne, and other Lakers players also quickly made up for Osborne.

Osborne didn't think about killing under the basket, just attracted the Lakers' defenders to himself, and then Osborne made a wide lateral pass and passed the basketball to Tysian Springs, who was already in the empty position of the three-point line at this time, Prince's finishing ability, at this time, was still very strong, and he directly started and fell with a knife, and scored three points. The Pistons outscored the Lakers by one point, and as long as they defended the Lakers' offense, they could win the game.

"That pass was very good, I really didn't expect your breakthrough ability to be so good, but you kept floating on the outside to practice three-point shooting. I'm a really good three-point shooter, and that's a big difference between you and me, and I'm not going to pass the ball to somebody when the team needs me, I'm just throwing the ball in the basket. Kobe said proudly.

Osborne also knows Kobe Bryant's ability and character, but he doesn't have Kobe Bryant's strength now, so he can only rely on his teammates, but Osborne's mouth refuses to be soft, he said: "You have your pride, but I won't let the team lose because of myself, and my coach won't allow the team to have a cancer, I will only play in the right way." And you play your hero basketball. ”

With only 30 seconds left, the ball is still in the hands of the Lakers, and they still have plenty of time to attack, with the Pistons leading the Lakers by two points, and the outcome is still unknown.

Bryant dribbled the basketball, and then said to Osborne: "Don't be arrogant, I'm going to make key shots in this position." Osborne knew that Kobe was ruthless, and Osborne didn't expect Kobe to shoot in, nor did he expect him to be able to defend against Kobe, so he replied.

"I don't expect to be able to stop you at all, but I'm going to throw the ball in that damn hoop like you did, and you're going to taste defeat," Osborne said. ”

Kobe didn't care about Osborne's provocative words, just threw the basketball into the basket, Kobe was worthy of being an offensive god, all kinds of offensive skills were handy, handy, ignoring Osborne's poor defense. Shoot the ball straight out, and the three-point score goes in.

Bryant's scoring changed the score to 113-112 leading the Pistons by one point. With 25 seconds left, Bryant only needed 5 seconds of offensive time to complete a three-point attack.
