Larry Brown saw the Pistons against the Milwaukee Bucks and felt that this series was stable, no matter from which point of view, the Pistons would not lose, after all, the Pistons' regular season record was 4:0 over the Bucks, although the regular season is different from the playoffs, but this is only an occasional phenomenon, generally speaking, the regular season record ranking is the team power ranking.

Osborne is still quite confident in this series, he hopes to sweep the Milwaukee Bucks 4-0 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals, waiting for the winner of the Cavaliers and the Wizards, but Osborne remembers that the Cavaliers won this series, and it seems that he can abuse the little emperor LeBron James again.
In the past few days, various speculations about the playoffs have also begun, and some specialized statistical agencies have predicted the victory of the playoffs against both sides, and the Pistons vs. the Bucks have given a 4:0 prediction in this series, it seems that although everyone does not like Osborne's arrogance, they still recognize the strength of the Pistons.
The disturbing predictions have dazzled others, and the Pistons are preparing for their first round game step by step, Larry Brown first compiled a player coordination table for the Pistons players, Richard Hamilton and Chaunsibilups, Osborne and Rasheed Wallace, Chaunsibilups and Taysha Amprins, Daco Milicic cooperated, and Osborne cooperated with the bench players, judging from these tactical configurations, Chaunci Billups is really the engine of the Pistons, and Osborne is the tactical core of the Pistons, He can be in one gear on his own or seamlessly connected with others.
After a three-day break, the first game of the Eastern Conference first-round playoffs between the Pistons and the Bucks began, and the Bucks head coach sent out the starting lineup, center Jamal Magloyer, power forward Andrew Bogut, small forward Bobby Simmons, scoring guard Michael Reed, and point guard TJ Ford.
On the Pistons' side, Larry Brown also sent the Megatron League's Pistons starting five, the first game was played at the Auburn Hills Palace Arena, the scene was full, and the fans here witnessed the birth of a miracle not long ago, and now they can see the Pistons in the playoffs here.
The commentator also began to explain passionately, "Welcome to the first game of the Pistons vs. the Bucks in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, both teams have sent their strongest lineups, the Pistons and the Bucks are now warming up, and the game will start in a while, let's stay tuned for their performance." ”
After the warm-up activities of the two teams, the game also began to kick off, Jamal Magloyer and Ben Wallace battled for the ball, the referee threw the basketball into the air, Jamal Magloyer beat Ben Wallace to grab the basketball first, TJ Ford received his pass, activated his extreme speed, he took the lead, and took advantage of the Pistons' late defense to make an easy layup.
Fans and viewers didn't expect this TJ Ford to be so fast, completed a sneak attack, and then it was the turn of the Pistons to attack, Chauncey Billups steadily took the basketball across the half court, and then Richard Hamilton and Osborne crossed the run, Osborne was really pressed by the Bucks player Michael Reed, fortunately, Richard Hamilton had a chance to shoot, and Richard Hamilton, who was powerful in the playoffs, received a pass from Chauncey Billups, adjusted it slightly, and hit a three-point shot to overtake the score.
After the first round of the meeting, both teams also turned on their own offensive mode, Michael Reed as the boss of the Bucks, he also reached out directly to ask for the ball, TJ Ford took the basketball over the half court and passed the basketball to him, after receiving the basketball, Michael Reid thought about how to deal with Osborne, he leaned back against Osborne, and used his ass against Osborne, Osborne was very uncomfortable, his body was not as strong as Michael Reed, although his endurance was better, but the explosiveness was never as good as that of black athletes.
Michael Reed pushed Osborne, and then directly reflexively shot a two-point shot, Osborne didn't expect his body to suffer in the playoffs, but then he also played to his advantage, using his inexplicable off-ball running skills to shake off Michael Reed, and then faced Andrew Bogut's defense and shot a difficult three-pointer backwards, this shot was also a response to Michael Reed, after all, this guy is too arrogant.
Then Michael Reed also used his straight break technique, passed Osborne, successfully scored a layup, and scored two points again, and Osborne used his teammates' blocking and dismantling to run out of the open space to shoot, Osborne received a basketballer and hit another three-pointer.
Seeing this, Michael Reid had no way at this time, he could break through Osborne's defense, and he himself had no way to prevent Osborne, after all, he couldn't keep up with Osborne's coquettish moves, and he didn't know when his teammates did the pick-and-roll cover.
Osborne and Michael Reed fell into a situation of mutual explosion, and Osborne shot more three-pointers, so the Pistons were in the lead, and in other positions, the performance of both teams was similar, Jamal Magloyer and Ben Wallace did not have the level of the year, but they were also half a catty, and Rasheed Wallace and Andrew Bogut were more special, Rasheed Wallace's mid-range shooting level made Bogut miserable, Chauncey Billups and TJ Ford are very different, Chaunci Billups can not only assist teammates to score, can also score himself, and TJ Ford is not good at assist scoring data in addition to being fast, so it seems that the Pistons' lead is also a matter of course.
The Bucks were unwilling to fall so behind, Michael Reed and Magloyle teamed up to play an 8:2 attack wave, but before they could be happy, Richard Hamilton and Osborne teamed up to fight back with a 10:3 attack wave, and the gap between the Bucks and the Pistons was getting bigger and bigger.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pistons led the Bucks by 10 points at 35:25, and the game lost suspense from the start, although the lead was not very much, but for the Pistons, it was enough to win.
Osborne's performance in the first quarter was okay, easily scoring 15 points, and his Michael Reed also played well and scored 13 points, but his teammates were a little embarrassed, except for Jamal Magloyer who scored 7 points, the other three only scored five points, which is equivalent to a few points per person, which is too embarrassing.
