Chapter 65: Facing the Celtics

On November 6, 2003, the Detroit Pistons of Motor City hosted the Auburn Hills Palace to the Boston Celtics, a declining dynasty team. There are only two teams in the NBA that can be called aristocratic teams, and they are evergreens and absolute kings in the league. These two teams have a proud record, a glorious tradition and a rich heritage, and have given birth to many superstars and basketball legends.

The Los Angeles Lakers, the purple-gold aristocracy in the West, have cultivated or brought in countless superstars. It can be said that most of the superstars in the league are more or less related to the Lakers and have purple and gold blood. Moreover, the Lakers, the 50 superstars in the league, occupy a considerable part, and the evolution of the Lakers' first team can basically be regarded as a microcosm of the NBA league. The Lakers can be said to be the Real Madrid team of the basketball world, and they are very keen on superstars, and they must form a supergiant lineup no matter what, and play gorgeous and dazzling basketball performances. The Lakers are the epitome of gorgeous basketball.

In the East, the Boston Celtics have created an eight-game winning streak. Among them, Bill Russell is known as the Lord of the Rings, and has won a total of 11 championship rings in his career plus coaching career. It is the team that has won the most championships in the NBA league, and no one has surpassed it so far, and the Green Shirts always have some iron-blooded style. Even the Celtics during the rebuilding period were always hard to chew.

However, the recent Celtics are in a bit of a decline, in a rebuilding period, the team is not complete, aging players account for most of the team, can not help at all, only Paul Pierce is still barely supporting the situation, from time to time to break out to save the team, by the Green Shirts fans called "the truth".

Paul Pierce made 80 appearances in 2003~2004, started 80 times and played an average of 38.7 minutes per game, getting 23+6.5+5.1 data, but it was not enough to help the team win, and the rest of the team basically did not help. Especially Ricky Davis, although he is very powerful, he is not convinced, he does his own thing, he is a standard data brush, and he really threw a ball at his own home near the end of the game in order to brush a triple-double data, which directly angered the opponent and the league executives, and later his triple-double data was also revoked by the league.

Since the retirement of Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, the Bulls have directly entered the rebuilding team series, and the Eastern Conference has also begun to decline, and the league situation of the West is strong and the East is weak, especially since the big sharks traveled west, the only teams in the East can get their hands are the Pacers, Pistons, and Nets. The Grizzlies, a team with a 50-32 record in the West, can only rank sixth in the West, and the West's record against the East is mostly wins, and even the champion of the Western Conference Finals for a long time is the championship.

"This is the home of the famous devils in the NBA league, Auburn Hills Palace, you can see the declining dynasty team against the upstart team in the East today, the Pistons have a very big advantage today, and the Celtics lineup is very weak, it seems that the victory of the Pistons is a certainty, it depends on how much time the Celtics can resist." \"

Then the Celtics announced the starting lineup of centers: Derrick Williams, power forward Mike James, small forward Paul Pearce, shooting guard Ricky Davis, point guard Mark Bronke. The Pistons' starting lineup is still thunderous, and Osborne is put at shooting guard because Osborne can't play against Paul Pierce yet. Osborne actually really wants to compete with Paul Pierce, because Osborne's quality has improved a lot, and he always wants to compete with the old stars.

"I think today the Celtics are going to fight for honor, especially the truth Paul Pearce. He is more than willing to give the Pistons a deep memory, and he is also willing to teach rookie rookies a gracious lesson. The Pistons, on the other hand, are likely to capsize in the gutter and fall into the abyss. "It's the hope of an old Celtic fan.

Now Osborne's attention has risen to the same level as that of the top pick, LeBron James, and the prospect Carmelo Anthony. Although Osborne's strength is still a little bit inferior to them, but if you talk about the offensive ability alone, Osborne is not weaker than them, or even surpasses them. And he already has a considerable fan base, which is due to Osborne's high-profile style and flowing style, as well as gorgeous statistics and high-handsome appearance, these factors have given Osborne an unparalleled advantage as a rookie in the league.

"It's time for the game, spectators. We'll bring you the Pistons at home to take on the Boston Celtics. Today's weather is good, perfect for sports, and I have a hunch that a new record will be set today. I hope today's game will not be worth it, and you braved the cold wind to come to Auburn Hills Palace to watch the game. I'm your old friend LBC, and I hope you enjoy watching it. “

The Pistons players are also more relaxed, after all, they are playing at home with home court advantage, of course, they have to play well, while the opposite Celtics are more calm, but Ricky Davis is an exception, and captain Paul Pierce is more calm and steady. Ricky Davis is a self-entertaining player who can play around the basketball court and even swipe his stats no matter what the team is in.

The center of both sides jumped the ball, and this time the starting center of the Pistons once again grabbed the ball as a matter of course. The team handed the ball to point guard Chancey Billups after a pass, and Osborne is the future boss of the little emperor Ricky Davis, Ricky Davis's brain-dead and funny do not need to be explained too much, anyway, Osborne feels that his score will be very good today, after all, there is a brush opponent, it is still very comfortable to take the data, Osborne's current purpose is that you are comfortable, I am comfortable, and everyone will work together to create records.

It's no wonder that every superstar likes a group of teammates who have the strength but don't steal the ball, and that feeling is really refreshing. The Pistons used classic team tactics, shifting the ball and covering each other.

Osborne ran out of an open position, and received a pass from Tyshire Amplins, who temporarily replaced the power forward, Osborne could have shot an open three-pointer, but Osborne wanted to try his new skills, and then Osborne left Ricky Davis behind him with a simple acceleration, and rushed directly to the inside, his series of actions stunned Ricky Davis, what is the situation, shouldn't Osborne shoot three points? How to play a breakthrough today.

Ben Wallace watched Osborne rush in, and he was also a little messy, but he instinctively blocked Celtics center Derrick Williams, creating a gap for Osborne at once, and Osborne also seized the opportunity to directly dunk the ball into the basket with a standard three-step layup.

"Waht, OMG was a little excited today to use a passing breakthrough that he is not good at, and dunk the ball in, which is really rare, and this should be said to be the first dunk in Osborne's career, which is really memorable."
