Chapter 230: Osborne who is trying to defend
Andrei Kirilenko also found himself a little overkill, causing the Jazz to be penetrated by the Pistons, which made him a little ashamed.
So he subconsciously prepared for the joint defense, and no longer cared about Osborne's far, and he also said to Osborne: "If you have the ability, you just shoot here, I won't let you score near the three-point line." ”
Osborne inexplicably heard Kirilenko suddenly come to such a sentence, and he also scratched his head a little, this sentence was said so abruptly, he didn't react for a while. But then I figured out that the position I was standing in turned out to be the position where he had scored many times, so Andrei Kirilenko thought that he would shoot here, so he followed closely to defend and didn't let himself have a chance to shoot.
Thinking of this, Osborne couldn't help but sneer: "You are really stupid and naïve, you have a big brain, but I will definitely let you come over to defend, as long as you dare to be so far away from me now, I can shoot three-pointers." ”
Kirilenko also knew that his thoughts were funny just now, but now he has to get serious, ignore Osborne's taunts, concentrate on doing a good job of defense, be careful, and still have to keep an eye on this guy, after all, he is still the most offensive player on the Pistons.
Osborne didn't mean to ridicule when he saw Kirilenko so serious, and he also corrected his attitude, after all, a serious person deserves to be taken seriously, not to mention that this guy can't underestimate him too much, otherwise he will really overturn.
Kirilenko knows that Osborne's defense is not good, even if he has made great progress, but because of the previous foundation, it will not have much impact on himself, Osborne's single defense ability is not high, so someone will definitely come to defend himself in a while, in this way, the Pistons' defense has a hole, and then with his passing ability, the opportunity will naturally come out, so he asked Raul Lopez for the ball, and Kirilenko is ready to play Osborne alone.
In fact, Kirilenko's idea is completely crooked, but the Pistons players seem to trust Osborne's defense very much. It doesn't look like anyone is going to come over to defend at all.
For this situation, Kirilenko is speechless, there are too many miscalculations today, and he can't do anything about slapping himself in the face, after all, what he knows about Osborne comes from the news media hearsay.
So he had to bite the bullet, Kirilenko leaned his back against Osborne, leaned on his hip a few times on Osborne, Osborne immediately took several steps back, showing that he seemed to be very weak, this situation made Kirilenko overjoyed, he didn't expect that Osborne was really as vulnerable as the legend, and he had fallen before he could exert his strength.
Then he turned around and wanted to hit the basket regardless of it, but he didn't notice the sneer that Osborne implied at the corner of his mouth, Kirilenko was just about to break through, and when he passed by Osborne's side, Kirilenko was still thinking about how easy and pleasant, but what he didn't care about was that he just passed by, and the ball was poked off.
After Osborne picked up the broken ball, he went straight to the front court of the Jazz box, and then he gave the already prepared Elden Campbell an open catch, and Campbell pressed the basketball into the basket.
Then it was the Jazz's turn to attack, Kirilenko didn't seem convinced, and wanted to save face, after all, he didn't notice Osborne's movements just now, and he felt that as long as he was careful, he would be able to complete the crushing of Osborne, after all, judging from the performance just now, Osborne's body is really vulnerable.
So Kirilenko tried again, this time he was very careful to protect the ball, not giving Osborne a chance to reach out at all.
In fact, Osborne didn't think about reaching out, because there is only one chance, and if the steal is not successful, he may lose his position, so for steals, except for some guys with a strong sixth sense, what is the sixth sense, from the perspective of basketball, it is a guy with good defensive awareness, they have some almost instinctive awareness to determine that they can break the ball, and otherwise, most of the other people's steals are gambling steals.
Kirilenko was a little impatient by Osborne's small movements, and he didn't expect that Michael Jean, who has always been known for his eye defense, would be so active in defense, not only willing to defend, it seems that the quality of defense is also very good, at least Kirilenko feels that he is not absolutely sure that he can break through the past.
Off the field, Larry Brown is also quite satisfied with such a positive Osborne, he feels that Osborne has really grown a lot, more proactive in defense, and the attitude problem is much more correct, which is one of them, and Osborne's defensive skills have really increased a lot. I have been able to play a better role as a leader.
In fact, Osborne didn't think too much, he felt that the role of a leader is to share the ball in good times, carry the team in bad times, and never give up in desperate times, such a player is qualified to be called a leader.
And in his opinion, the vast majority of team bosses in the future do not meet the standards of this leader, especially the guy who takes the honor when he wins and takes the lead in throwing himself off when he loses, he has no leadership temperament at all, let alone a king's temperament.
So this is also the reason why Osborne works harder, because he really wants to be the leader of the Pistons, but if you want to be the leader of this team, you can't do it with a good offense and a high score, because most of the players on this team are not very talented, and winning depends on the spirit of daring to fight and never giving up. So Osborne has to have that spirit, otherwise there is no way to get the approval of the players.
It is said that hard players are terrible, and the serious Osborne also makes Kirilenko, who originally thought that Osborne's defense was very weak, is now very distressed, he wants to break through, but he is always clinging to Osborne, and there is no way to get away, he wants to hit the back but finds that Osborne, who is already vulnerable, has also become strong and unshakable, so that Kirilenko can only shoot or pass.
But when I thought of boasting in front of all the players of the team, saying that I was going to blow up the arrogant Osborne, but now it seems that he has no way to break up, and even the offense has become a little difficult.
Since then, Osborne's guys who have experienced being willing to defend seriously have been very distressed by Osborne, especially the guy who can only make a six-step layup.
And if Osborne remembers correctly, is that guy still an old enemy of the Pistons? After all, in the original history, that guy eliminated the Pistons many times, but this revenge, Osborne avenged it in advance, and the next game will be the team led by that guy. (To be continued.) )
