Chapter 496 March Competition Overview

The Pistons had a relatively easy game in February, but in March, April was a different story, with a tense and intense March game with tough opponents, some teams fighting for a playoff spot and never conceding defeat until the last minute, and teams on the verge of the playoffs are going to fight you to the end. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The schedule in March is not easy for the Pistons at all, but the game in April is even more intense, this is the final ranking battle of the playoff teams, the seventh, eighth, and ninth teams will pay more attention to this final game, especially some teams that can't make the playoffs will also break out from time to time to show their presence.

In the March game, most of the teams the Pistons need to play against are Western teams, with a total of seventeen games, including the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Seattle SuperSonics, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks, basically all teams in the Western Conference playoffs. The teams in the East are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, and Atlanta Hawks, all of which are basically teams in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

None of this is Osborne's main concern, the Pistons can lock up a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with a win against the Mavericks, and even if he loses all the games in the future, the Pistons can be among the playoff teams.

The Pistons now have the best record in the league, and the Pistons now have a 50-4 record with a 92.5% win rate, and they can win at least 75 wins at this rate, which is a huge record. As long as they can improve their record to the next level, the regular season MVP will basically not run, and Tim Duncan of the Spurs and Steve Nash of the Suns will be left far behind by him.

The first game of March was against the Portland Trail Blazers, known as the City of Tears.

It's the first game of the month and you have to get your first win.

On the night of Tuesday, March 1, Western time, the Pistons took on the Portland Trail Blazers on the road.

The Portland Trail Blazers fielded their strongest lineup, center Sharif Abdulrahim, power forward Joel Pulzbilla, small forward Zach Randolph, scoring guard Nick Van Exel, and point guard Damon Stoudemire.

Osborne plays the shooting guard position against the Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Nick Van Exel, while Tysian Princes plays small forward against Zach Randolph, the king of the floor.

At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, the Portland Trail Blazers took the lead, and Zach Randolph, the king of floor flow, scored a throw against Tysian Springs, opening two points for the Portland Trail Blazers, and then the Pistons also retaliated with a tooth for tat, Rasheed Wallace also scored a mid-range shot against Joel Pulzbilla, at this time the Trail Blazers' scoring guard Nick Van Exel couldn't help it, he asked for the ball directly, and Damon Stoudemire did not refuse him, after all, Nick Van Exel still has a set in terms of scoring.

After Nick Van Exel received the basketball, Osborne hurriedly stepped forward, but unfortunately Nick Van Exel didn't give Osborne this opportunity, an accelerated breakthrough past Osborne, and then broke into the Pistons' interior line to beat Ben Wallace a 2+1.

Osborne didn't expect Nick Van Exel's basketball skills to be so good, and his breakthrough ability was so strong that he was off the charts, but Nick Van Exel also had a problem, that is, he liked to throw waves and hit iron, but unfortunately he had Kobe Bryant's disease, but he didn't have Kobe Bryant's life, and his physical strength was not as good as Kobe Bryant, and his willpower was much inferior, and his attention was not as good as Kobe Bryant, so Nick Van Exel was often peddled by the team.

The first quarter of the game was very intense, the Pistons players performed even more strongly and directly against the away to determine the lead, the Pistons scored 36 points in the first quarter of the game, Osborne scored 18 points alone, Nick Van Exel also scored 16 points, but unfortunately the Trail Blazers only scored 28 points, and the Pistons laid the cornerstone of victory in the first quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the Pistons continued to work hard and did not leave any chance for the Trail Blazers, and the second quarter of the game was reduced to an offensive performance by the Pistons, Osborne ran out of the open position and hit a three-pointer directly, and Richard Jefferson came off the bench to show a strong desire to play and repeatedly hit the basket to cause Sharif Abdelrahim's foul.

In the second quarter of the game, the game was about to be played by the Pistons, and the resistance of the Trail Blazers was getting smaller and smaller, Osborne also performed well in the second quarter and scored 15 points again, Osborne scored 33 points in the half, and the Pistons players were stronger and scored 78 points in the first half, and the Trail Blazers scored 55 points in the half, and the gap of 23 points was not something that could be erased in a while.

The Trail Blazers tried to resist in the third quarter, but the Pistons never gave them a chance again, scoring 13 points in the first five minutes of the game, helping the Pistons lead the Trail Blazers by 30 points at 91-61.

In the end, the Trail Blazers chose to raise the white flag and surrender, because it would be useless to continue to fight, and they would only suffer greater humiliation, and the final result of the game was that the Pistons defeated the Trail Blazers by 20 points 111-91.

After the Pistons played the Trail Blazers to get their first win, the second opponent was the Phoenix Suns, this is the second time the Pistons have met the Suns, and the last time the Pistons have met the Suns, the last time the Pistons narrowly beat the Suns, their two teams played very fiercely.

When the Suns played against the Pistons again, they were also very serious, and Suns head coach Mike D'Anthony sent his best offensive lineup: center Amare Stademeyre, power forward Sean Marion, small forward Joe Johnson, scoring guard Quentin Richardson, and point guard Steve Nash.

The Pistons are still the dream lineup starting five, and at the beginning of the game, the Pistons were also anti-away, and Osborne received the basketball and directly threw a long-distance three-pointer near the center circle.

Then the Suns' singles Joe Johnson also responded with a three-pointer, the first quarter of the game between the two teams was very intense, the first quarter of the game between the two sides played a 38:38 draw, after the end of the first quarter of the game, the head coach of the Pistons was not very satisfied with this result, he felt that the defensive strength of the Pistons was not reflected at all, and they still had many away challenges, so they could not delay for too long, they must be quickly resolved.

Since there is this requirement, the Pistons began to play the momentum of the finals in the second quarter of the game to play the Suns, and the offensive firepower of the Pistons has decreased a lot, but the Suns are even more miserable.

In the end, the Pistons settled the battle in the third quarter of the game, and the Pistons led the Suns by 18 points at 88:70 after the third quarter of the game, which is actually nothing for the Suns, but with the current state of the Pistons, if the Suns continue to resist, they can only bring humiliation on themselves, and finally the Pistons won 109:99 against the Suns.
