Chapter 188: The Tragic Wizards
Larry Brown called his disciples to his side and asked, "Did you have fun in the first half?" ”
The players didn't know exactly what Larry Brown meant, and they all replied in unison: "It's happy, the only thing I'm not happy about is that we haven't won it completely." ”
Chauncey Billups went on to explain: "And Gilbert Arenas is too arrogant to say that we are going to do another miracle this game, and recently our Pistons are no longer the poster child of a defensive team, and we are losing where we are." ”
Larry Brown was very happy to hear the answers of his disciples, after all, the Pistons still have a lot of people who understand, so Larry Brown no longer hides it, and said bluntly: "I think you can also see that today's Wizards team is a little abnormal, their ball is only on one person, that person is Gilbert Arenas, he was originally a point guard, but today he desperately brushed the data, his intention is obvious, is to use us as a stepping stone to achieve his dream." So today we're going to limit his scoring and the Wizards' total in the second half of the game, and we must not let them underestimate our defense, so as to sound the alarm bell for the team in the future. Otherwise, everyone with bad intentions will want to cut us down. ”
After listening to Larry Brown's words, Osborne took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault for being so bad at defense that everyone wants to use me to achieve their ulterior goals, so I will play strictly according to the manager's tactical requirements in the future, and I must let those teams who want to take us a knife can see what suffocating defense is, of course, defense still depends on everyone, and I will go all out to create a score advantage for the Pistons' rotation lineup." So in the future, the manager only needs to give me two and a half quarters of unlimited fire, and I will definitely let the guys who want to rely on me to make a name for themselves know what despair is. ”
Larry Brown was relieved to hear Osborne admit his mistake. He felt that Osborne had really grown up and knew what to do, what to do, and what he wanted to do.
He continued, "Don't worry, Osborne, it's not your fault in the first place. You're just a rookie in the league, and you've been recognized by me and President Joe Dumas, and you should know that I used to be the least likely manager to use new people, but the fact that you can get my reuse shows that you've done well enough, and I can't force anything more. ”
After saying that, Larry Brown glanced at Osborne, then glanced at the others, and continued: "This year is a good time for us to win the championship. According to the data analysis, the main obstacles to our championship this year are the Nets and the Lakers in the West, and other players such as the Spurs, Pacers, Timberwolves, and Kings are not our main obstacles, because they all have certain shortcomings, and they are not at all standard for a championship team. Let's start with our east. We have a big advantage, and the Eastern teams are all suppressed by the big three in the East to a certain extent. The other teams are simply not to worry about. ”
The players haven't heard the head coach praise the team he coaches so much, so there is some suspicion that the princess sells melons and boasts, and the Pistons don't seem to have an absolute advantage, why does the head coach have such confident remarks.
Seeing that everyone looked confused and contemplative, he continued: "I won't say much about the rest, as long as we can play strictly according to our tactical requirements." will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and become the final winner. ”
Hearing this, everyone knew that Larry Brown's self-confidence came from his so-called system.
Seeing that everyone looked suddenly enlightened, Larry Brown finally said: "Let's use the second half of today's game to witness our strength." Well, the second half of the game is about to start, and everything is left to everyone. ”
After all that is said. Larry Brown waved his hand and signaled that the players were ready to play, Osborne was still on the court, while the other main players were replaced for the break, Ben Wallace and Taysha Amplins were playing with Richard Hamilton off the court.
In the third quarter, all offensive tasks were dominated by outside players, and interior players were responsible for defense.
At the beginning of the game, Osborne unceremoniously gave Gilbert Arenas a three-point shot, as a dismount, Gilbert Arenas's defense is like that, with limited physical talent, so Osborne can directly ignore his defense and shoot three points directly backwards, after hitting this ball, Osborne is also very active in defending Gilbert Arenas.
The Wizards' offense now relies on Gilbert Arenas, so the Pistons players know where the Wizards' main offensive point is, and they have a corresponding strategy, their strategy is that Osborne doesn't have to bother, directly stand on the locator, let Gilbert Arenas break through, and then all the players on the inside use the way of joint defense to occupy the space of the restricted area, block the layup route, and force them to shoot, so that the two major forward players on the inside will have a place to use, block without hesitation, even if they foul, they have to make a ruthless offense, Let those players who try to break through the interior score know that the Pistons' interior can only lie down.
Gilbert Arenas saw that the Pistons were too afraid to rush inside, and then he chose to have a friendly shooting session with Osborne on the outside.
It's just that he wants to shoot and there are more than two players above him to wrap him, but he can only try to shoot one, but his luck is not good, his shot is off, in the subsequent offense, Gilbert Arenas has always wanted to find his touch, but unfortunately it always backfires, his shooting feeling is getting worse and worse, and he has to choose to pass the ball to his teammates, but unfortunately his teammates haven't touched the ball for a while, so the state is also good.
The Pistons' defensive system has begun to pay off, and he has greatly improved the Pistons' rebounding count, especially offensive rebounds, which are particularly high. And the Wizards are a little sad here, in the first half of the third quarter of the game, they still have the initiative to attack, and they don't even have many opportunities to shoot in the back, most of them are in a hurry, and the shooting rate can be imagined.
Gilbert Arenas, who had already scored 31 points, only scored two points in the third quarter under the special care of the Pistons players, while the entire Wizards only scored 6 points, and only scored 6 points in the first quarter of the game, which is a shame, but it did happen to the Wizards.
Thanks to the system's efforts and the head coach's decentralization, Osborne's three-quarter stats reached a terrifying 42 points, he scored 18 points in the third quarter alone, and Chauncey Billups also had 6 assists, which was really happy, only the Wizards experienced sadness.
