Chapter 82: Osborne's Performance (4)
"It's really unimaginable that the two teams that were good at defense played against each other, and the defense was still top-notch, I don't know if they became stronger in attack or weaker in defense."
Osborne doesn't care about that much, as long as the team wins and his stats are good, he doesn't care how to win.
Osborne's statistics in the first quarter were very dazzling, scoring 13 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds, and if there was enough playing time, Osborne would have cut 40+ or a triple-double.
In fact, at this time, Osborne really didn't want to give up on creating a record of three consecutive doubles, after all, the opportunity is rare, if you miss this time, I don't know when I will wait next time. Therefore, once there is a chance, no one wants to give up the record, but this triple-double record needs the help of teammates, otherwise it will be difficult to complete, not to mention the rest, just talking about this assist data, it is not easy to get it, because it requires human cooperation.
Osborne still remembers that once when Kobe Bryant was about to complete a super triple-double, he was just one assist away, and in the last moment, when he had broken through the inside line and was ready to wreak havoc, he found that his teammate Kwame Brown was on the inside, so he used his unique passing technique to fake a real pass, and stuffed the ball to Kwame Brown, Kobe Bryant attracted his eyes to himself, and Kwame Brown was in the vacant position.
Kobe Bryant originally thought that this ball would definitely be able to score his super triple-double and complete it, but to Kobe's surprise, Kwame Brown really didn't score, it turned out that Kwame Brown was also deceived by Kobe's feints, and he didn't react, and when he reacted, the defenders also moved, and then he used a coquettish small hook under the basket, but the ball went across the bridge without even the basket, Kobe Bryant saw that this was really helpless, but there was no way, the assist is indeed not a person can get it.
Osborne couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of this, such a teammate can only obediently brush up on the score even if you have the ability to go through the sky, and if you want to brush the assist, you can only hope for your teammates, if your teammates don't give strength, the gods will not be able to save them.
However, Osborne's current teammates are much stronger than Kobe Bryant's teammates when he led the team alone, most of Osborne's current teammates are not very strong in offensive desire, but they are all rushing to do dirty work such as defense, and now Osborne has done the work they don't want to do, and the strength is strong, they are even more willing, otherwise how can Osborne's starting position stand firm and stand.
The second quarter is about to begin, Larry Brown does not dare to take it lightly, or let his strongest lineup be replaced, replaced by Tysian Princes, replaced by Daco Milicic, and put Ben Wallace as center and Prince as power forward, and the others remain the same.
The advantage has not been able to play for a long time, which makes Larry Brown a little worried about the physical strength and hidden injuries of the team's main team, although this game is very important, but the health of the players is the most important, no health is everything. Then Larry Brown told him how to play in the second quarter.
"This game is very important, so you must go all out, you can't be negligent, this second quarter actually I want to let your main team rest, so that they can cope with the next game, but in view of the Nets are also shooting collectively, the shooting rate is very high, our advantage is not able to play for a long time, in order to stabilize the rotation lineup in the next step, I have to give you some tasks."
"Coach, what task, you say, we will complete it." The players said in unison.
"During this time, our team has won all the games, which makes me proud of you, but there are also some problems that the physical fatigue of the main team has accumulated to a certain extent, if you don't make adjustments, it is likely to have large-scale injuries, so, for your health, your main team needs to be stronger, build up the advantage as soon as possible, and then start to enter the rotation lineup, the main team will rest in batches, and then play in batches, so as to ensure that every player has sufficient rest, And it can greatly avoid injuries. ”
Larry Brown looked at the players and had no other ideas, and continued: "First of all, you need to play as soon as possible, and secondly, the substitutes must also be strong, and they can't dig big holes for the main team, and in the end, if that's it, the playing time of the main players and the rotation players is not much different." What do you see? ”
As soon as the main players of the Pistons heard it, they knew that this plan was beneficial to the team, but it harmed the interests of the starters, after all, playing time is equal to gorgeous data, which is about equal to a big contract, but head coach Larry Brown arranged this for the sake of the team, so he didn't care about anything else. Chaunci Billups then spoke on behalf of the starters, and if he didn't say anything now, the manager's plan would not be implemented at all.
"Head coach, most of us enter the NBA for fame and fortune, but we are also for the championship, you are also a famous meritorious coach in the NBA, we are not as good as you in terms of professional knowledge, if you think what tactics are beneficial to the team and can win, we are willing to try."
Larry Brown heard that Chauncy Billups meant that they could try any tactic in order to win, so it showed that the main players did not oppose this rotation lineup plan, and he was relieved, but now is not the time to discuss this, Larry Brown has the support of the main players and is sure, and the rest will be practiced in the future games.
"Since you don't object, then I now ask you to play with the advantage in the second quarter, the main points of attack in the second quarter are Richard Hamilton and Osborne, you two are the most offensive on this team, all the second quarter will be handed over to you, I will give you both unlimited firing rights."
Hamilton and Osborne heard Larry Brown's command and immediately responded, "Promise to complete the mission." ”
Especially when Osborne heard Larry Brown's request, his heart immediately blossomed, this is the head coach gave me the opportunity to brush the data, since there is such a legitimate opportunity, how can I see people without brushing out good data.
Then the Pistons' starting five tigers walked to the court under the attention of the head coach at the referee's whistle and began the journey of the second quarter.
Then the other teammates continued to create opportunities for Osborne and Richard Hamilton, and kept feeding them the ball, and Osborne also opened his own small universe, constantly shooting three-pointers, shooting when he had the opportunity, and passing the ball to Richard Hamilton if he didn't have a chance, anyway, they were very happy, Osborne brushed a single quarter 10 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, Richard Hamilton was not bad for 18 points, and many of Osborn's assists were given to Hamilton.
The Nets were immediately blindsided, forcing the Nets to call two timeouts just over six minutes into the second quarter.
