Chapter 615 was played a game that was spent
The Rockets worked so hard to play and was still led by the Pistons, which shows that the will can't resist the strength, Osborne's performance in the first quarter was average, only 9 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, because the Pistons played very united in the first quarter and went to share the ball, so Osborne didn't have many shots.

The Rockets watched Keith Bogans, Rutherhead, and Ralph Alston hold up the score, Deacon Bemutombo scored only two points, and Juwan Howard didn't score a point.
"It seems that the Rockets may be about to collapse in the second quarter, because everyone knows that the Pistons are almost recovered, and the Rockets can't escape defeat no matter how much they struggle."
"Where do you come to the conclusion that the Rockets played very well in the first quarter, they limited the league's famous first-quarter kings to less than 30 points, which is already a good result, and they only scored four points less than the Pistons, how could they ask for more."
Osborne has a certain understanding of the strength of this Rockets team, except for the main players Da Yao and Tracy McGrady, the configuration of other positions is already very good, but the health of their team's players is a little not optimistic.
However, the Rockets without Da Yao and Maddy will not be able to beat the Pistons, anyway, Osborne thinks so.
The first quarter of the game was a little overwhelmed by the Rockets' death entanglement, but the Rockets didn't have that opportunity next.
Coming back in the second quarter, the Rockets once again used their weaknesses to catch up with the score, Rutherhead received a pass from Love Alstone, and he shot a three-pointer under Osborne's defense, and after this three-pointer was scored, the Rockets were only one point behind.
And the Rockets also sent Juwan Howard to help defend Osborne, the most important thing is not to let him shoot three-pointers, Osborne saw the menacing Juwan Howard and Rutherhead was also a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he first shook off Rutherhead, and then shot a three-point shot backwards in front of Juwan Howard, which was very technically difficult.
It is not easy to shoot a three-point shot from a back, and the requirements for waist strength are very high, and Osborne also relied on his ability to return a three-pointer to expand the score advantage.
The Rockets wanted to shoot three-pointers again, and Ralph Alston executed them, but unfortunately he didn't shoot very well on both two-pointers, let alone three-pointers, but he was the only one on the team who had the opportunity to shoot three-pointers, and the rest of the team was restricted to death.
Ralph Alston threw a three-pointer against Chaunsibilups' defense, and the basketball's flying mark in the sky proved that the ball couldn't go in, and the basketball smashed on the basket, but fortunately, the quick-witted Deacon Bemutombo grabbed the basketball again, and he was blocked by Rasheed Wallace when he dunked.
This series of events really proves that these people's routines are very deep, and the Pistons also showed their true ability to defend the team in this quarter.
It's still the Rockets' offensive possession, and now Raf Alston said that he won't shoot three-pointers anymore, because he is joking with himself and joking about the team's record, so he won't shoot three-pointers anymore.
Osborne also has a deep feeling for Ralph Alston's cringe, after all, he used to be like this, but now Osborne has built up a strong self-confidence, and nothing can stop his desire to win.
Ralph Alston started to run after handing the basketball to Keith Bogans, but it seemed that Keith Bogans didn't mean to pass the ball, he faced Richard Hamilton's defense, and slowly advanced with his best back play, Richard Hamilton really didn't stop Kisbogans' forward footsteps, when Osborne wanted to help defend.
The quick-eyed Keith Bogans turned around and threw directly, and the basketball hit the board directly, Osborne had no intention of tolerating such a provocation, he directly reached out to Chauncey Billups to ask for the ball.
Chauncey Billups also knew that Osborne was embarrassed to be ignored just now, so he handed him the basketball.
Osborne was still caught by Rutherhead and Juwan Howard, but Osborne didn't care, he also threw a long-range three-pointer directly from the three-point line.
The Pistons' lead came to five points, and such a gap made the Rockets a little anxious, because they knew that the Pistons liked to play waves of offense, and as long as the state came together, no one could stop it.
The Rockets decided to play it safe, after all, they didn't dare to shoot those risky three-pointers, Osborne's three-pointers were very powerful, so they could shoot three-pointers with impunity, and they didn't have that confidence, Ralph Alston was still in the role of an assaulter, and he broke through Chaunsibilups and connected with interior center Deacon Bemutombo to dunk a basketball.
The margin narrowed to three points again, but Osborne's performance was not over, as Osborne shook off Rutherhead with the help of Rashid Wallace's cover, and then made a three-pointer in front of Juwan Howard, bringing the gap to six points again.
At such a critical moment, Deacon Berg Mutombo dropped the chain, his dunk was forced down by Ben Wallace, and he was also injured, and the Rockets lacked manpower inside.
Jeff Van Gundy had to replace Dickon Bemutombo with the tall Chuck Hayes, this Hayes is not the same Hayes, because his offensive finishing ability is poor, so he is the same type as Ben Wallace, so he is not a threat to the Pistons at all.
The ball is still with the Pistons, Osborne once again received a pass from Chauncey Billups and threw the fifth three-pointer of the game, and the Rockets seem to be in a scoring drought, Keith Bogans is also entangled by Richard Hamilton and basically has no chance to shoot, and Juwan Howard wants him to defend okay, and it is even more difficult for him to score than to climb to the sky.
The Pistons offense was like a tide on the offensive end, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups also joined Osborne's three-point logging and hit three-pointers many times, while the Rockets were miserable, the players were weak on offense, and almost no one could score.
At halftime, the Pistons led the Rockets by 19 points at 66:47, such a gap is unbearable, especially Da Yao and Maddy, who watched the game in front of the TV, they all knew that the Rockets had little hope of winning this time, but they never imagined that the team would be blown up, and it seemed that the game would be declared over without the second half of the game.
