Chapter 668-for-tat
LeBron James didn't expect that he was tired to complete the overtake and defeat the Western All-Star team, but AMVP was taken away by Osborne, who scored more points, and he finally got a triple-double, which is the only player after Jordan to get a triple-double in the All-Star Game, he is very unhappy and feels that the league is now biased in favor of Osborne.

But he didn't say anything, after all, maybe there would be a time to meet again in the future, so he could only watch Osborne lift the AMVP trophy.
After the All-Star break, the regular season still has to continue, but fortunately, the Pistons still have time to rest, and some teams start playing directly, like the SuperSonics, Raptors, Nuggets, fortunately, there are no All-Star players.
Osborne is actively preparing for the next game, and at this time the team has entered a period of state maintenance, so Osborne is more strict with himself and will never do anything that damages his condition.
Osborne's self-discipline quickly paid off, he performed very well against the Spurs from afar, the Spurs took Tim Duncan in rotation, in fact, Popovich's use of Tim Duncan was very reasonable and restrained, he would not let the player risk injury for the sake of the so-called record, so Tim Duncan took a rotation for the reason of facial muscle spasm.
The Spurs' star is resting in turn, and many people think that the Pistons will definitely beat the Spurs, after all, the Spurs are missing an inside pillar, but Osborne knows that the Spurs, who took a turn to rest the GDP, were inseparable from the Heat Big Three at their peak, otherwise LeBron James and Dwyane Wade played in the last time, and the Spurs would not necessarily lose so easily, so Osborne did not dare to be careless, and still prepared for the battle with a very serious attitude.
After all, the Spurs' combat effectiveness has always been so stable, even if he lacks the main players, his strength will not decline on a large scale.
Osborne worked very hard, he was very well prepared for training, after all, three-point shooting training is the most important, after all, they may not be able to fight the Spurs for tactics, and if they fight for talent and individual skills, the Spurs can't fight the Pistons.
The official game started soon, and the Pistons' home arena was boiling, and now the Pistons' home arena is a devil's home stadium, and every team that comes here to play will be under great psychological pressure.
Old man Popovich began to direct the players on the court to warm up well, even the players on the bench, because in his philosophy, the team does not distinguish between the first and the second, only the first, after all, the Spurs bench players often fill the hole for the main players.
At the beginning of the game, Popovich really didn't let Tim Duncan play, and he announced the starting lineup of center Nazr Mohammed, power forward Rasunestrovic, small forward Bruce Bowen, scoring guard Manuginobili, and point guard Tony Parker.
On the Pistons' side, as long as every shot injury or something, their starting lineup will always be an All-Star lineup with five starters.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Nazel Mohammed grabbed the basketball on the head of Ben Wallace, Tony Parker took the basketball past Chauncey Billups, and then scored two points on a difficult throw against Rasheed Wallace's defense to give the Spurs the first two points.
When the Pistons began to attack, Osborne was trapped, Manuginobili and Bruce Bowen teamed up to surround Osborne, Osborne did not choose to back down, even if the two were sandwiched, he chose to break the blockade in the most direct way.
Osborne used his off-ball running skills to shake off Manuginobili, Osborne received a pass from Chauncey Billups, threw the three-pointer directly at Bruce Bowen's defense, and said to Bruce Bowen: "Bruce, put away your dirty defense, it's useless to me." ā
Bruce Bowen didn't believe in evil, and said to Osborne, "Then try it, you have to be careful that your ankle doesn't get broken." Bruce Bowen's words were threatening, but Osborne didn't care, he now had enough experience and skill to avoid injury.
After Osborne made a three-pointer, Manuginobili, a player on the Spurs' side, also hit a left-handed three-pointer against Osborne's defense.
The first quarter was very intense, not only between Osborne and Manuginobili, but also between Tony Parker and Chaunsibillups, who are now the engines and finishers on the court, so they were very positive.
The Spurs just hit a two-pointer, the Pistons immediately hit a three-pointer in response, and then the Spurs also hit a three-pointer to continue to respond.
And the lead of the two sides is also alternating with each other, and it is difficult to say that each side can always lead the other.
Osborne's space for action was very limited, although Bruce Bowen couldn't guard him at all, but he also clearly felt the pressure, and he needed more physical strength to make every three-point shot, but fortunately, his physical strength was his strength, so the Spurs' plan was also in vain.
The Spurs players are desperately trying to consume Osborne, and Osborne is trying very hard to shoot as many three-pointers as possible, Osborne has become very powerful since winning the three-point shooting contest with perfect scores, and his state has made the Spurs feel extraordinary pressure.
Popovich was really annoyed to see that Osborne, who was desperately defending by the Spurs, was getting braver and braver, but he also knew that Osborne's physical strength was still in full time, and there was no way to directly make Osborne feel tired.
So his instruction to the Spurs players was to defend Osborne in every possible way and use up as much physical strength as possible, so that in the late game, the Spurs would defeat Osborne's hero basketball with team basketball.
After the end of the first quarter, the Pistons led the Spurs by 32:29 by 3 points, and Osborne alone scored 15 points.
And Bruce Bowen is depressed, originally Popovich gave him the task of getting Osborne, but now it seems that he can't get Osborne, Osborne is really hanging with unlimited firepower, I don't know how to be tired, and the feeling is always online.
