Chapter 34: The Scorching Game
The commentator on the commentary bench was very reluctant to see the Lakers lose, saying: "The game in the third quarter showed that Big Shark O'Neal is still the most dominant center in the league if he wants to, and no one can stop him, and of course his free throws can stop him from being who he wants to be." But I think O'Neal is going to blow the Pistons' ass out in the final quarter. ”
Osborne was also drunk to hear such biased comments, but he didn't, because the Lakers were behind and felt pity, and he would just take the opportunity to beat the Reservoir Dogs.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant turned on his personal god-killing mode, almost no one could do it, his hand felt hot, and in just 4 minutes, he scored 12 points with free throws, and the Lakers' score was about to tie by 2 points.
Osborne didn't let Kobe Bryant go alone, but used assists to help the team stabilize their position, and the game was very anxious, and it was time to show real skill.
So far, Osborne's shooting rate is still 100 percent, and he is reluctant to spoil this beauty, but because Kobe's ability to chase points is too perverted. Osborne had no choice but to use his killer move, the three-point shot.
In today's league, if you don't know how to shoot three-pointers, you're embarrassed to say hello to people, even if you have a center, you can pull out and shoot one or two three-pointers, otherwise you can't say that you are a famous center in the NBA.
However, Osborne's three-point shot is a Cowall-style piecemeal shot, not a Curry-style three-point perverted accuracy. So Osborne can only throw out three-pointers from time to time, but can't hit three-pointers in a row.
Osborne can show his hands in addition to the skill of three-point passing, so Osborne also passes good balls from time to time to increase his assists.
The commentator was puzzled as to why a rookie player like OMG had such a mature personality and ball quotient. It's as if Osborne has been in the league for many years.
"Osborne has undoubtedly found the key to victory, and his passing will definitely make him like a fish in water in the league, after all, people like teammates who can pass the ball, not teammates who will dominate the ball, but I am still a little curious, how can a player like Osborne fall to the 25th pick in the first round, I think the current league scouts are becoming more and more unprofessional, and the vision of the team's general manager and head coach is becoming more and more unprofessional, as if he is sorry for his glory as a general manager and head coach if he doesn't choose one or two parallel rookies."
Hearing that the other commentator on the commentary table had justified Osborne's name, Osborne was still quite excited, and finally someone spoke for him. "I finally knew I wasn't fighting alone. I'm not alone," Osborne whispered delighted.
Kobe Bryant saw that Osborne was laughing, thinking that he was laughing at himself, and immediately became angry: "You rookie who doesn't know the height of the sky, why don't you dare to follow me oneonone, you will only escape the man's battle." I don't know if you have the heart of a strong man. ”
"Your understanding is too paranoid, I admit that my strength is far inferior to you now, but basketball is not a one-person battle, but a teamwork of five people, I have a group of good teammates, and you will only fight alone, why should I attack your strengths with my own shortcomings. No matter what you say, you are a loser in this game. I don't mind what people think of me, I just want to win. ”
After Osborne finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Kobe's provocation, and concentrated on passing and running, and Kobe saw that Osborne dared to ignore himself. immediately became angry, the reason why he was so focused on his singles skills and imitated Jordan was to prepare to succeed O'Neal as the team's boss in the future, and the Lakers are different from other teams.
The Lakers have a long history, and the highlight moments, they have won only one less championship than the Boston Celtics, so the Lakers fans are very loyal, and their vision is also very picky, not only pursuing winning basketball, but also pursuing gorgeous basketball, if the Lakers led by Magic Johnson would be even better, the ball is played dreamily and gorgeously, and it is unstoppable.
So the Lakers players are under a lot of pressure, and although the attention is better, no matter how hard you try, the Lakers will always have some legends on your head. The Lakers are not only going to win, but they are going to win beautifully.
It's really hard to satisfy the appetite of Lakers fans when you think about it, after all, if you don't make a subversive breakthrough, it will be difficult to be accepted by fans who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
But Osborne doesn't care how much pressure the Lakers' players have, anyway, there will inevitably be pressure in the world. It's not easy for everyone, so let's focus on me, after all, Kobe Bryant has already won a lot of O'Brien Cups. I haven't touched the floor of the playoffs yet, have I?
Osborne was reluctant to go one-on-one with Kobe, and Kobe Bryant also focused on his job as a scoring guard and scoring. Bryant also began to learn how to run without the ball, handing the ball to point guard Gary Payton to organize the offense.
Osborne is really impressive to see that Kobe Bryant is willing to give up the ball for the sake of victory? The Lakers are worthy of being a team with four kings, as long as everyone is willing to sacrifice a little bit of their ball to do what they should do, they are basically invincible in the regular season.
Bryant took advantage of Karl Malone's blocking to get rid of Tysa Amplins' entanglement, received a pass from Gary Payton, and made a direct three-point shot, a beautiful net flower surge. The Lakers finally led by one point at 99-98, which was really not easy, and the Lakers fell behind all the way from the beginning and never had a lead. Kobe Bryant seems to have understood something, and it seems that in order to win, everyone must give up some personal interests to better maintain the operation of the team.
The Pistons also began to fight back, Milicic also began to play on the inside, and Lynch Hunter did not compete with Osborne for the ball at point guard, because the Pistons had a certain recognition of Osborne's passing ability. They are willing to let Ospen organize the offense when Chancey Billups is not on the floor in order to get more offensive efficiency.
Osborne also knew that Kobe Bryant would not let himself break through easily, and Osborne would not think that he could really get rid of Kobe Bryant and successfully break to the basket, but Osborne had a wide passing vision due to his system skills. Then Osborne was ready to use his long-honed back-body singles skills to organize the offense, after many shakings, Kobe Bryant was not tempted, clinging to Osborne, Osborne was not in a hurry, because when he was shaking, he had already seen that Milicic had found a good position, and then Osborne passed the ball to Milicic with a fake shot, and Milicic also smashed the ball into the basket with a dunk.
The Pistons outscored the Lakers by one point at 100-99. The game was so anxious that the two sides chased me and took the lead several times, and then the Lakers called another timeout and replaced O'Neal, and the Pistons also changed their strongest lineup, with Osborne as the small forward.
There are still five minutes left in the game, and the Pistons Five Tigers are fighting the Four Heavenly Kings, and the decisive moment is approaching.
