Chapter 210: Hanging the Heat

Osborne fell asleep with a satisfied mood, and when he woke up the next day, Osborne was refreshed and extraordinarily energetic, he felt that the Heat team had no notable players other than Wade, the key is that although Wade is the nominal boss of the Heat, the veteran players of the Heat team don't believe in Wade, they feel that although the only breakthrough is good, the shooting is too unstable. And there are a lot of talented players in the Heat team, like the later Lakers championship meritorious players Lamar Odom, Eddie Jones, and street ball king Ralph Alston, all of whom are players with good offensive talent, so the Heat team is very unstable now, after all, the core of the house has not yet been determined, and everyone wants to fight for it.

Osborne made a brief preparation and went to the assembly point to report, after all, he still had to go to the Heat, and Florida on the south coast of the United States was not close to the Pistons. When Osborne arrived at the team's meeting point, he found that he was the last to come, but Larry Brown and his teammates were used to it, and when they saw Osborne coming, they announced their departure, this time the journey was very long, and Osborne fell asleep directly on the bus. When he arrived, Osborne was quickly woken up, and when Osborne got out of the car, he found that Miami was a sunny zone, and the temperature here was still very high and it felt very warm.

After doing everything that should be done, Larry Brown took Osborne and other players to the rented basketball court to prepare for the 7:30 p.m. game, Larry Brown did some regular tactical training, and trained until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when all the staff disbanded, ate and went to the hotel to rest, and waited until the American Airlines Center to challenge the Heat in the evening.

Finally, it was half past seven in the evening, and the December night in Miami was also a little chilly, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the Heat fans. They filled the Heat's home arena early, the American Airlines Center.

This time the Heat's starters are center Brian Grant and power forward Lamar Odom. Small forward Caron Butler, scoring guard Dwyane Wade. Point guard Ralph Alston. In this game, Dwyane Wade was injured and couldn't play for a long time, and his bench player Eddie Jones was originally the starting point guard of the Heat, and this guy should not be underestimated.

On the Pistons' side, there is the same starting five, and there was some drama at the beginning of the game, Heat center Brian Grant and Pistons center Ben Wallace didn't even touch the basketball, which was embarrassing, and the referee had no choice but to kick off again, which also shows that the centers of both teams seem to have only the height of a cigarette. The jump ball began, and Ben Wallace relied on his quick reflexes. Shooting the basketball to his side, Osborne also cooperated to grab the basketball, anyway, the current Pistons team, Osborne's reaction speed and flexibility are the best.

Then Osborne made a quick move in an instant, past the defense of Kaloon Butler, but Kalombbutler deserved to be a defensive giant, clinging to Osborne, and even suspected of pulling the jersey, but this was on the home court of the Heat. Osborne won't cause a foul on Crumon Butler by being pulled on his jersey. However, Osborne ran inside the three-point line and then stepped back and jumped out of the three-point line, while Caron Butler slipped and fell to the ground because he didn't brake the car, Osborne scored a three-pointer with a knife, and Osborne took the lead to give the Heat a slap. Then the Heat counterattacked. Ralph Alston controlled the ball, Ralph Alston was gorgeous in possession, and Dwyanwade came back with a counter-run. Alston passed the ball to Wade and then made a lightning break and went straight to the basket. responded to Osborne's layup, for Osborne's opponent. Wade still cares, after all, Osborne is already his bitter master. Wade didn't win at the beginning of his career when he met Osborne, first he was beaten by Osborne in the summer league, and then he was still defeated in the first meeting in the regular season, so Wade felt that he couldn't lose again this time, so even if he was injured, he decided not to get out of the line of fire with a minor injury.

Seeing Wade's sharp layup, Osborne felt excited, so Osborne directly asked Chauncey Billups for the ball, and then Osborne dribbled directly past Clauon Butler with a coquettish crotch, and then singled out Brian Grant, and then Osborne scored the ball with a relaxed and freehand layup, temporarily leading the Heat by three points 5:2.

Then the first quarter became a pas de deux between Osborne and Wade, first Osborne used a kaleidoscopic offense to break up the so-called defensive titan Kaloon Butler, and Dwyane Wade also beat Richard Hamilton, after all, Hamilton didn't attack much, he was seriously defending Wade, but his speed was far from keeping up with Wade, and he was broken through by Wade again and again. At the end of the first quarter, Osborne scored 18 points in a single quarter, and Wade also showed no signs of weakness and scored 15 points, and the Pistons also led the Heat by four points at 27-23.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Osborne didn't dare to attack alone, after all, basketball is a five-man sport, so Osborne began to move the ball, and Wade was still the team's end point. Osborne kept passing the ball to the Pistons' playhouse, and he also found that the breakthrough point was getting more and more slippery, sometimes throwing the ball out without looking at people, and his teammates were also very tacit in that position, so Osborne also passed a lot of freehand magic passes in the second quarter.

And the Heat are a little embarrassed here, except for the Heat's Dwyane Wade who scored some points, everyone else was strangled by the Pistons' joint defense, if it weren't for Wade's European skill, he wouldn't have scored points. So Osborne was surprised to see that the Pistons' basketball style was so restrained by the Heat, after all, the Heat would be a championship-level team in two years, but now they are being beaten to death by the Pistons.

The Heat's performance also made Dwyane Wade very anxious, he felt that he couldn't sit still, he first used his lightning to raid the Pistons inside, but was dragged down by Ben Wallace a fierce block, Wade got two free throws, two free throws and two hits, Wade used a steal to quickly run to the Pistons inside, facing Ben Wallace's defense to a powerful dunk.

His scoring streak gave the rest of the Heat team a great encouragement, but the good fortune was short-lived, because Wade always forced to break through to the basket, which led to a recurrence of Wade's shoulder injury, seeing Wade stumble a little, head coach Van Gundy used a tactical foul to give Osborne, replaced Wade to the emergency room to deal with it, and then replaced the backup point guard Eddie Jones. It's just that Osborne hit two free throws, the score has come to 46:39, the Pistons lead the Heat by 7 points, and in the last three minutes of the second quarter, the Pistons beat the Heat again, and at halftime, the Pistons led the Heat by 11 points at 56:45.
