Chapter 601 Eastern Road Trip
In the game against the Hornets, Osborne easily cut a quasi-triple-double of 33 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, which is simply forcing obsessive-compulsive patients to death, but fortunately, Chris Paul lived up to expectations and easily cut a triple-double of 22 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds.

The Pistons' performance was very good, suppressing the Hornets all over the court, and the Hornets also made great progress, after the departure of Byron Davis, Chris Paul took over smoothly, stabilized the strength of the Hornets, and the fans and viewers finally saw the benefits that the Pistons gave to the home fans.
After playing the New Orleans Hornets, the Pistons started a three-game road trip in the East, the first stop was the famous Boston Celtics, the second stop was the Indiana Pacers, and the third stop was the Orlando Magic, these three teams are not strong teams.
The Celtics are still only supported by Paul Pearce, the Indiana Pacers have been in a state of decline since the Auburn Hills Palace incident, even if a newcomer like Danny Granger is born, it is difficult to quickly get out of the suffering of the weak team, and the Magic team is not to mention, their champion Dwight Howard is still developing interior offensive skills, if Dwight Howard can't score, it's just a blue-collar center, in this era, the Pistons' style of play has changed people's concept of the center, It even indirectly changed the status of the center.
After the game, the Pistons began to prepare for a week-long road trip, Osborne took a look at the list of players of the Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce, Ricky Davis, Delonte West, Tony Allen, Al Jefferson, Wallis Zebiak, Kendrick Perkins, at a glance Osborne felt very familiar, these guys are not an easy to deal with, so Osborne is also recuperating and recuperating these days, Waiting to play at the Rose Garden Arena on the North Shore, home of the Celtics.
After two days of recuperation, the Pistons rushed to the Boston Celtics to challenge them.
The arena here is indeed the stadium with the most championship flags in the league, and the championship flag team retirement numbers are full of retirement numbers hanging in the sky above the arena, and the Celtics are a well-deserved giant in the league.
The game hasn't started yet, the atmosphere here is about to boil, when the Celtics players come out, the fans and spectators are enthusiastic, shouting the name of Paul Pierce, Osborne looked at Paul Pierce being worshiped by everyone, and then imagine the horror triumvirate formed by the Celtics later, plus the ghost point guard Rajon Rondo, such a lineup dominated the Eastern Conference for several years, directly forcing LeBron James to the Miami Heat to form a new Heat triumvirate before finally crossing the past.
The Pistons also have to plan in advance, or when the Celtics become an army next year, the Pistons will almost age, and if necessary, he can bring Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen to the Pistons, which can not only weaken the Celtics, but also strengthen the Pistons.
After an enthusiastic performance, the game began, and the Celtics had a bizarre lineup, with center Kendrick Perkins, power forward Al Jefferson, small forward Paul Pierce, scoring guard Wallis Zebiak, and point guard Ricky Davis.
This lineup looks good, but Kendrick Perkins is known as a second fool, Wallis Zebiak doesn't like to pass, Ricky Davis likes to perform on his own, I don't know if the head coach of the Celtics has a problem with his brain when he sends such a starting lineup.
The game officially began, Kendrick Perkins and Ben Wallace competed for the ball, Kendrick Perkins was worthy of being a fool, he didn't blow the whistle yet, he jumped up in a hurry and began to grab the ball, and his teammates didn't want to say anything about his mentally retarded behavior.
But don't say that Kendrick Perkins still has the ability, it's just that sometimes his brain is not bright, the referee just threw the basketball out, he behaved very fast, jumped up directly and grabbed the basketball, and then handed the basketball to the team boss Paul Pearce, the ball should have been given to Ricky Davis, but he thought again, anyway, in the end, it would be better to give Paul Pierce directly to save him trouble.
Paul Pierce didn't pay attention to this detail after receiving the basketball, but Ricky Davis couldn't accept being ignored and gave Kendrick Perkins a hard look.
Richard Hamilton's body can't stop Paul Pierce at all, after all, Paul Pierce's stature is also very strong among small forwards, and his style of play is very technical, these two points determine that Richard Hamilton can only be abused.
I saw Paul Pierce use his body to resist Richard Hamilton after receiving the basketball, so that Richard Hamilton could not move, and then passed Richard Hamilton with an easy turn, and then scored the first goal of the game with a crisp layup.
Osborne still admires Paul Pierce's individual singles skills, after all, Paul Pierce can occupy a certain position in the league's scoring list, and has excellent rebounding and assists, such a player is simply an all-round player.
When the Pistons attacked, Chauncey Billups used the rhythm change to get past Ricky Davis, and then assisted Rasheed Wallace to hit a mid-range shot, and the two sides were tied, and then Ricky Davis finally received the basketball, he changed direction twice in a row, and then fired directly outside the three-point line, but unfortunately although the shot was very chic, but the basketball did not score, for Ricky Davis's style of play, Paul Pierce has long been used to it.
Ben Wallace grabbed the basketball first, and then passed the basketball directly to Chaunci Billups, Chaunci Bilupus made a slight adjustment, and then passed the basketball to Osborne who was running, Osborne was even more direct, without any adjustment, he threw the basketball out, and the basketball still hit steadily.
Then the Celtics and the Pistons fell into a confrontation, and the Pistons sent two players to defend Paul Pierce, but they still couldn't stop him, after all, Paul Pierce's passing ability is also quite good.
In the first quarter of the game, the strength of the two teams was equal, and the state was similar, Osborne blew up Wallis Zebiak, Paul Pierce blew up Richard Hamilton, the two teams played equally, so they didn't pull away too much, Osborne scored 17 points in a single quarter, Paul Pearce alone took charge of the Celtics' offense and scored 22 points, fortunately, his teammates Ricky Davis and Wallis Zebiak were not very powerful, and they ate a zero duck egg in the first quarter, not that they didn't have a chance to shoot, but after they shot, and also failed to hit.
As a result, the Celtics led the Pistons by one point at 28-27, and Osborne was used to such a situation.
