After the cold winter of the first quarter, the Pistons were silent, Larry Brown did not speak, and silence enveloped the entire bench and rest area.

Originally, Chauncey Billups should have stood up and said a few words as the captain, but he himself behaved like Xiang, so he didn't have the courage to stand up and say something high-sounding, and the Pistons fell into endless silence.

It wasn't until the game was about to start that Larry Brown finally spoke, "I won't say anything about your performance, you know it yourself, so if you don't want to insult the league's No. 1 name, then show your momentum and defend your dignity, if you don't want to be beaten by the Knicks, I won't say anything, let's start the game." ”

In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons starters were relatively silent, they didn't know what kind of mood they were in now, and they weren't very comfortable anyway.

In the first round, Osborne signaled to Chauncey Billups and Tysian Springs, and they understood, Osborne ran out of the open space to receive a pass from Richard Hamilton, Osborne jumped directly to shoot a three-pointer, and then the three-pointer went through the net.

Osborne's three-pointer scored this time, which immediately detonated the whole court, and the fans and viewers also felt that the familiar Osborne was back, and then Osborne heard head coach Larry Brown shouting on the sidelines, "Pay attention to defense, keep the offense, and play tactics." ”

Osborne also knows that his strength has dropped significantly, but Osborne used to play very well, but he didn't like to defend very much.

However, when it came to defense, his teammates did it for him, and Chauncey Billups and Stephen Marbury fought for speed. Richard Hamilton was also clinging to Alan Houston, and Tysa Ann Prince was pestering Keith Van Horn. Ben Wallace resisted Coat-Thomas, and the Pistons moved as if the attacking side was the Pistons. Osborne couldn't bear to stop defending when he saw this scene, even though his defense was poor.

Stephen Marbury knew that he couldn't get rid of Chaunsibilups, so he planned to let Jamal Mashburn open the situation, he passed the ball to Jamal Mashburn one by one, but Osborne seemed to subconsciously intercept Marbury's pass directly, and directly went to the fast attack, and the speed was fast, Jamal Mashburn did not react directly, when people reacted. Osborne had already broken into the Knicks' interior, and Ate Thomas and Keith Van Horn wanted to make up for it, but were stuck by Tysha Ann Prince and Ben Wallace, so Osborne made an easy layup to score the ball.

Osborne scored six points in less than a minute to blow up the court again.

And Osborne, who scored the goal, seemed to have some kind of feeling, he seemed to have broken the ball just now, that feeling was like he had known that Stephen Marbury would definitely pass the ball to Jamal Marshburn, and his body still instinctively rushed over to steal, this feeling is amazing. He never had the awareness to defend before, but just now he just saw his teammates desperately defending and wanted to make some contributions, and then the scene just happened.

His teammates saw that Osborne was still in a daze. Ben Wallace, who was closest to him, came over and started giving Osborne a hug, which was only when Osborne came to his senses, and he was about to be strangled to death by Ben Wallace's great force. Osborne desperately broke free of Ben Wallace, and then yelled at Ben Wallace, "You Big Ben." You're trying to strangle me. It's just that when Osborne looked at his smiling teammates, Osborne also had some celebrations with them.

Until the referee signals for the game to continue. They just returned to the field and started to defend, and Osborne didn't think too much about it, after all, the game was still going on, and there was no way to think too much.

Stephen Marbury, who made a mistake in the pass just now, was very angry, he didn't expect Osborne's maiden steal to be dedicated to him, Stephen Marbury wanted to play a response ball, and then he carefully observed the position of his teammates, but Osborne's attention was now very focused, focused on the defensive object, this time Stephen Marbury dribbled under the crotch two times in a row, and while Chauncey Billups did not pay attention to Marbury's hand, he threw the ball to Jamal Marshburn, at this time Jamal Marshburn's card position was very good.

After Jamal Mashburn got the ball, his body was facing away from Osborne, his back singles skills were not very good, and then he wanted to turn around, he leaned hard against Osborne, and then prepared to dribble and turn around, but he just dribbled the ball twice, and the ball was lost, and when he reacted, Osborne directly picked up the ball again, and was ready to go down quickly, but this time many people in the Knicks team had already reacted and blocked Osborne's breakthrough route, at this time Osborne had no choice, remembered his favorite drift shot before, and then Osborne jumped up directly, but instead of jumping forward, he jumped to the left side of the defender, and there was no one in front of Osborne, but Osborne's body was about to lose balance, but Osborne was not worried, after all, his previous shooting feeling was still there, as long as his hands were not messy, even if his body was twisted, he could shoot the basketball near the basket.

But this time, he decided to throw the ball in, because the Pistons need someone to step up, although his own strength has declined very seriously, but he feels good now, so he recalled the previous basketball memories and shot directly, at this time the Knicks defenders, Stephen Marbury, Alan Houston, all watched the body twist Osborne to throw the ball, and the basketball went in, but because Osborne fell to the ground due to the unstable center of gravity of his body.

Although this goal stumbled, but did not affect the fans, spectators and the exclamation on the commentary seat, they all felt that Osborne's way of playing was a little different from before, although Osborne was not a pure pitcher before, but Osborne's previous attitude was also to be able to throw, if you can't throw it, you can pass it, if you can't pass the ball, you will rush into the inside line to play one, but now Osborne is very fierce, and when he gets the ball, he rushes to the inside, and they all jump up first and then say, and then think about the posture of other actions, Some crazy exploding man effects.

In fact, Larry Brown on the sidelines is most pleased that Osborne finally took the initiative to defend, and his defensive ability has been strengthened a lot, the speed of offensive and defensive conversion is very fast, and the success rate is also very high.

In the subsequent game, although Osborne was taken care of by the Knicks, Osborne had successfully aroused the enthusiasm of his teammates, so Osborne also made repeated mistakes after that, but the Pistons' defensive intensity strengthened a lot, and the Knicks and Pistons also played a half-quarter defensive battle in the second half of the second quarter.

By the end of the second quarter, the Pistons had chased the score to just one point, and the Knicks experienced a scoring winter, with all players who could score being locked up by Chauncee Billups, Ben Wallace and Taysha Amplins.

At halftime, the Pistons scored 41 points and 29 in the second quarter, while the Knicks scored only 14 points in the entire second quarter and 42 points in the half. (To be continued.) )
