Chapter 158: The Battle of Slashing Points
Osborne can't care much about it now, and if the Pistons don't restrain Allen Iverson, even if the Pistons win, it's definitely not a happy thing.
After all, the Pistons, known as the league's top defensive team, were cut 60+ or 70+, or even more, which is absolutely unacceptable, but Allen Iverson has already cut 50+, so he must be limited from scoring, anyway, everyone knows that Allen Iverson will definitely not pass the ball at this time, after all, the highest record of his career is in front of him, and it is impossible not to be moved, but if it is said that it is for the sake of scoring records and ignoring the team's record, Allen Iverson can't do such a thing, Because it's a game that no one can afford to lose.
Iverson now has a lot of self-confidence and a good hand, but he doesn't seem to realize that his crisis is just around him. It's not comfortable to be stared at by so many people, after all, even the basketball god Michael Jordan doesn't have the confidence to win, let alone Allen Iverson.
Osborne is also not rash, using the most conventional style of play of the Pistons, which is also the one he is most familiar with with the Pistons players, that is, constantly using pick-and-roll screens to create shooting space for himself.
Everyone on the Pistons knows that the key to the victory of this game is Osborne, and they are very active in covering him without the ball, and when Osborne runs out of the open position, as long as he is seen by his teammates, he will definitely pass the ball to Osborne, which represents a kind of trust.
Osborne took advantage of Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups to get space to shoot, and Tysha Ann Prince passed the ball to Osborn, who did not hesitate to throw him out as soon as he received the ball. It may not sound good to throw out, but Osborne's shooting stance seems to be thrown. But basketball just can score. Osborne's own score has managed to reach 21 points.
Osborne now really feels lucky to have been picked up by the team's president at the beginning of his career. And it was also reused by head coach Larry Brown, although there were some disagreements in the middle, but in the end they were perfectly resolved by the concessions of both sides. The most important thing is that Osborne has a group of selfless and tactical teammates, because of their dedication, Osborne has many performances against the sky.
Osborne believes that he can do miracles this time, as long as he works hard and hard enough. Osborne, with hope and hope for his teammates, vowed that the Pistons would win this game.
Osborne's form is also improving rapidly, and his shooting feels good, basically as long as his hands are not messed up, he feels like he can shoot the shot. And he seems to have entered a strange state, in his eyes the basket is as wide as the sea, the 76ers players are as slow as tractors, Allen Iverson's breakthrough is not as unstoppable as before, and he can clearly feel where his teammates are, as if he has stereoscopic imaging in his brain.
Osborne felt like he was invincible in the world, with strength, speed, and control. Perception has been upgraded to a higher level. But it's not just Osborne who feels this way, but the 76ers on the opposite side of the 76ers, Allen Iverson, also feels this way, because his condition can be said to be even better than Osborne.
It's just that now Allen Iverson is in a state of trouble, and there is actually no big problem. It's just a simple selection obstacle, because he's a guy with a lot of self-confidence and he's in great shape right now, and he knows the Pistons aren't an easy team. So he was very entangled, not knowing whether he should pass it on or do it himself. But when he saw that Osborne actually started to do it himself, he wanted to compete with Osborne.
So Alan Iverson let go of the tangled. chose to go it alone, only to see his agile steps and swift figure keep passing through the Pistons players, and the Pistons have long been ready to receive Allen Iverson, Iverson rushed into the encirclement carefully prepared by the Pistons.
This scene shocked the fans who braved the cold to watch the game, they didn't expect Allen Iverson, the son of the city, to be so persistent, they felt oppressive when they saw the Pistons' defense on the court, but they didn't expect Iverson to charge directly alone.
As soon as Iverson rushed in, Ben Wallace and Elden Campbell and Taysa Ann Prince quickly surrounded Iverson and formed an encirclement, but Allen Iverson was not afraid at all, and directly shook off Taysha AnPrince and slipped past Ben Wallace's left side, and made a three-step layup, Elden Campbell jumped up to block, Allen Iverson did not change his face and played a big windmill in the air to pull the lever to make a layup, Elden Campbell did not cover the ball, but knocked Allen Iverson away again. The referee signaled 2+1.
The fans and spectators were immediately excited to see such a wonderful goal, and shouted in unison when Iverson made a free throw: MVP, MVP. Iverson hit a free throw, and his score also came to 53 points, and the 76ers still firmly held on to the ten-point advantage, which was really a touching scene, and Osborne was also thrilled after watching it, but he was moved by this game, and he didn't want to lose this game.
How can such an exciting scene only make Allen Iverson stand out? Osborne feels like he can play exciting basketball too.
The ball on the Pistons' side, Osborne is ready to organize a counterattack, in fact, there is no need to think about it, Osborne's current shooting feels like as long as he can run out of the open space and then receive the ball and throw the ball out, the Pistons can basically get three points.
The 76ers were very jealous of Osborne's three-point shooting ability, and also sent Aaron McGee, Glenn Robinson and Daimler Porter to stop Osborne.
As soon as Osborne received the ball, he was caught by Aaron McGee and Glenn Robinson, Osborne was not impatient to pass the ball to Taysha Amplin first, and then ran randomly by himself, and successfully used Ben Wallace's human wall to create a limited shooting space for himself, Taysha Ann Prince passed the ball to Chaunci Billups, Chaunsi Bilupus did not stop the ball and passed the ball directly to Osborn, Osborne's current defender is DaimlerPorter who is misplaced to make up for it, However, Osborne didn't have the slightest chance to throw the ball out with a step-back jumper, and then the basketball brushed the basket to bring Osborne's score to 24 points.
Then Allen Iverson and Osborne had offense and defense against each other, but Iverson had limited physical talent after all, and was always maliciously violated by the Pistons players, the 76ers head coach was afraid that he would be injured, so he replaced him in the middle of the third quarter and rested for a while, and when Iverson was replaced, Iverson was already approaching 60 points, and Osborne did not rest and played the full three quarters directly, Osborne also scored 24 points in a single quarter, and his score also exceeded 40+ at the end of the third quarter, reaching 42 points.
If it weren't for the 76ers head coach replacing Allen Iverson, maybe Allen Iverson's score would have exceeded 60 points, but Iverson was always covered by Pistons players when he broke through the inside, or Iverson might really be injured, so it was necessary to rest. (To be continued.) )
