Chapter 627 Osborne Targeted
Osborne's words were considered arrogant by many and also made some other league powerhouses very angry, such as the Suns player Amarestad Meyer who was about to play against the Pistons, although he was injured and could not play, but he said to his friend Raga Bell: "Raga, we know that the Pistons are very strong, but they actually look down on us, what do you say about this." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Don't worry, Amare, I'll show Osborne what real defense is, and I'll definitely follow Osborne Michael Jean all the way through this game, so that he doesn't have a chance to shoot." Ragabel said with a murderous face.
Hearing Ragabel's words, Amare Stademeyer was also a lot more relieved, after all, he still believes in Ragabel's defensive ability very much, and even a single master like Kobe Bryant will have a greatly reduced shooting rate when he encounters Rajabel, so it is most suitable for him to deal with Osborne.
Osborne didn't know he was being targeted by Suns players? Osborne has been living a very leisurely life these days, and although his remarks have caused a lot of controversy, he will not pay attention to the gossip and do whatever he wants.
Soon the break passed, and an otaku like Osborne didn't care how fast or slow time passed, and when Chauncy Billups reminded him, he remembered that the Suns were coming, and the Suns under Steve Nash were among the strongest teams in the league, but they were always eliminated in the playoffs.
So the Suns now also need to prove that they are the top team in the league, not the team that became a Chan in the regular season and a bug in the playoffs, so this game is important.
The game was still played at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, home of the Pistons, and Suns head coach Mike De Anthony sent out the starting lineup, center Cott Thomas, power forward Sean Marion, small forward Boris Dio, shooting guard Ragabel, and point guard Steve Nash.
The Suns have a very strong lineup, and he also has Leandro Barbossa, James Jones, Eddie House, Tim Thomas on the bench, an absolute luxury lineup, fighting offense, the Suns are not afraid of any team.
It's just that the Suns were a little unlucky, and when they met the Spurs, the offense didn't start, because the main center Amarestad Meyer was injured and was directly reimbursed for the season, and when he played the Mavericks, he was taught a lesson by the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley on the offensive end, so their evaluation was not as high as the first two teams.
This time, they want to win this tough battle and let people take a good look at the true strength of the Suns.
After the Suns came here, the Pistons fans and audience still gave the Suns the warmest boos to express their dissatisfaction with the Suns, but the Suns players didn't care about this, as long as they played well enough, the Pistons would naturally shut up.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Cote Thomas naturally had to perform as a center who came to the Suns, Cote Thomas took the first step to take off the basketball, and then the Suns launched the Suns' fast attack, Steve Nash controlled the basketball to move quickly, Chauncy Billups had no way to catch up with Steve Nash, Steve Nash saw that Sean Marion was almost under the basket, and directly sent the basketball to the top of Sean Marion's head, and Sean Marion ended the lead in this offense with an empty dunk.
The Suns' offense took only six seconds, don't look at Steve Nash's thin and weak, but his speed is not slow, his teammates are also very fast, he only needs one pass to end the offense, the Suns' offense is simple and efficient.
The Pistons' side is also ready to use their most classic tactics to solve the battle, the Pistons' current most classic tactic is of course Osborne's three-point shot, Osborne used his off-ball running skills to try to get rid of Ragabel, but it's a pity that Ragabel didn't eat Osborne's feints, and he just relied on his own efforts to keep up with Osborne, and Osborne didn't expect anyone to be able to follow him.
However, he didn't care, and still used the blocking cover of teammate Richard Hamilton to get the shooting space, and Chauncey Billups's pass also came as promised, but just as Osborne was about to shoot a three-point shot, Ragabel, a hateful guy, actually followed up again, ready to jump up and block him, Osborne had no choice but to break through from the three-point line again, dodged Rajabel's interference, and shot the basketball steadily.
Osborne knows that Ragabel is a mad dog who keeps an eye on you and does everything he can to keep you from scoring, and is one of the players Osborne hates the most besides Bruce Bowen.
Osborne said to Rajabel, "If you want to stop me, you better wait for the next life." ”
Ragabel didn't let in the slightest, "You're just a parasite in the Pistons system, what qualifications do you have to be arrogant, I'll let you be exposed today." ”
The words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, Osborne did not speak, and directly ignored Ragabel, he still likes to speak with performance, and Ragabel also went back to prepare for the next round of the Suns' offense.
The Suns' small forward Boris Dio was powerful, he passed Richard Hamilton, scored a two-point shot and caused Ben Wallace to foul, Osborne knows Boris Dior, because when he was in the Spurs, the Spurs had beaten the Heat team during the two-game championship period, and his play was also very powerful.
Seeing that the Suns players are in such good shape today, Osborne feels that today's game will not be too easy to play, and sure enough, in the second round, Osborne was caught in the bag, when Osborne signaled Chauncy Billups to pass, he was quickly rushed out of Sean Marion to steal, and Sean Marion completed the layup in one go.
Now Osborne knows that he is being targeted by Suns players, and Mike De Anthony is also arranging tactics around him, which makes him very uncomfortable, it is already very uncomfortable to have Ragabel, a mad dog to guard, and Sean Marion and Steve Nash are on standby, his life is very difficult.
Then Osborne knew how sad he really was, he ran for the ball again, Ragabel was very aggressive in stealing him, he had to stop the ball and prepare to pass, but when he stopped the ball, the other Suns players ran over to wrap him up and forced him to make a turnover, although he eventually passed the basketball, but when his teammate Richard Hamilton received the basketball, the offensive 24 seconds passed.
It was the first time in his career that he had made such a mistake, and the Suns' targeted defense really made Osborne miserable.
At the end of the first quarter, he only took four shots and scored eight points, all of which were two-pointers, and the Suns players strictly prevented him from shooting three-pointers, and Osborne had no choice but to shoot two-pointers.
Osborne's performance naturally had no way to lead the Pistons forward, and the Pistons also trailed the Suns by 6 points at 25:31.
