Chapter 675: What's the matter?
Mavericks players are also very envious of the rise of the Pistons, they feel that the Pistons are a wonderful team, inexplicably leading the three-point shooting frenzy in the league, and inexplicably becoming the nemesis of the league's strong teams, and now the Pistons can be said to have beaten 29 teams in the league, such a record is still not easy to complete in the history of the league.

Osborne's temporary loss in the first quarter of the shooting contest with Dirk Nowitzki made him feel a little uncomfortable, he knew that Dirk Nowitzki was in good shape, but he also had to be able to suppress the Mavericks, otherwise the game would be difficult.
The second quarter of the game started quickly, and Osborne did not relax his requirements, he still maintained a high-pressure state as soon as he came up, and gave the Mavericks a three-point shot as a meeting gift, and Osborne still glanced at Dirk Nowitzki very much after shooting.
Dirk Nowitzki may have had a good idea, and he also sensed that someone was watching him, so he also came back and shot a difficult step-back jumper under the defense of Rasheed Wallace, but for him it was his standard golden rooster independence.
Richard Hamilton couldn't help but see that Osborne hadn't been able to suppress Dirk Nowitzki, and Richard Hamilton and Chaunsibilups also rushed up to support Osborne as important scoring points.
Richard Hamilton was very crisp, he easily scored a two-pointer under the defense of Jerry Starkerhouse to help the Pistons stabilize the score, and then Chauncey Billups stole Jason Terry and assisted Rasheed Wallace to shoot a two-pointer to help the Pistons take the lead, at this time Jason Terry was very embarrassed, he didn't expect to be stealed.
But he was also responsible, Jason Terry came back and assisted Dirk Nowitzki for a three-pointer, and then he also concocted a steal of Chauncey Billups' pass to Richard Hamilton to score a two-pointer to give the Mavericks the lead again.
Osborne watched the players of the two teams play back and forth, but the Pistons still did not take the lead, and it was not a way to continue like this, he said to Chauncey Billups: "Chauncey, we have to strengthen our defense, we must guard the Mavericks players other than Dirk Nowitzki, and then we will collectively encircle Dirk Nowitzki." ”
Chaunsie Billups also understands what Osborne means, but things will definitely not be so simple, the Mavericks players are in very good shape today, not that they can be defended by defense, "Osborne, what you said makes a lot of sense, but we may not be able to complete such a task, after all, the Mavericks except Dirk Nowitzki, the other players are also slippery and can't get started, and Jason Terry is also a slippery head." ”
Osborne also knew that once the Mavericks were in shape, it would be difficult to suppress it, so he had to say: "Let's try it first, after all, there is no other way to do it." Chaunsibilups also agreed, and then the Pistons adopted the tactics of full-court pressing, and Marquis Daniels, who was in charge of Osborne, was annoyed by him, after all, Marquis Daniels didn't have many opportunities to shoot at all, but he was treated like this by Osborne, and anyone would be annoyed.
It's just that except for his point, other points are not very easy to make, Mavericks center Josh Howard is still a jumping man, big forward Dirk Nowitzki is still shooting so good that he can't stop, small forward Jerry Starkerhouse is also excellent to complete his task of defending Richard Hamilton, and point guard Jason Terry is also carrying out the task of organizing as usual.
After a scuffle between the two teams, the Pistons were still suppressed by the Mavericks, who still trailed the Mavericks by four points at 61:65.
At halftime, Larry Brown said: "I really didn't expect that we were suppressed by the Mavericks, which was really something that didn't happen before, I know everyone worked hard to break the Mavericks' super high pressure, but I just want to say one thing, that is, we didn't play to our strengths, so what are our strengths?" It's very simple to be our defense, as long as our defense comes together, the Mavericks' offensive state will definitely not last long. ”
Then Larry Brown said to Osborne: "Osborne, I may be wronged in a while, in the third quarter of the game, Tyxia Ann Prince will take your place, form the bronze wall of the Pistons, and deal a hard blow to their arrogance, and then you will go to the fourth quarter to harvest the game." ”
"Coach Larry said very well, so I don't have a problem with that, and I hope you guys can succeed in the third quarter, and I'll give it my all in the fourth quarter," Osborne said. ”
In the third quarter, Osborne rested off the court, and the Mavericks were still the same lineup, and at the beginning of the third quarter, Osborne saw an unusual game, and all the players of the Pistons directly used the most brutal way to block the Mavericks players.
Although this is barbaric, the effect is obvious, at the beginning the Mavericks' offensive momentum was still very strong, but then they couldn't find the feeling, even Dirk Nowitzki, who has always been accurate in shooting, also played two consecutive irons, so that the Pistons gradually regained the initiative, and gradually the Pistons began to slowly chase points, and by the end of the third quarter, the Pistons tied the Mavericks 89-89.
After coming down, the rest of the Pistons said to Osborne, "I'll leave it to you." Osborne replied, "No problem, it's time for us to harvest the game, it's time to perform." ”
In the fourth quarter of the game, Osborne still greeted the usual three-point shot, and Dirk Nowitzki went down to rest at this time The player in the Heat power forward position was Osborne's former teammate Eric Dampier, so the Mavericks now have no one who can resist Osborne's offensive frenzy, there is no way, the Mavericks urgently replaced Dirk Nowitzki on the court to support the game, but Dirk Nowitzki's magic is gone, and his shooting has become unstable, scoring one goal, and then two goals not scored, In this way, the Pistons gradually built an eight-point lead.
The Mavericks players don't understand what is wrong with them, obviously they still maintain a high level of competition in the third quarter, but in the fourth quarter, there is no way to resist Osborne's offense, even if Dirk Nowitzki comes up, he can't save the Mavericks' decline.
