Chapter 520 Blowing Up the Wizards
In the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Wizards were able to fight the Pistons for three quarters, and in the fourth quarter, because of physical exhaustion, Osborne suddenly broke out and finally failed, which made the Wizards think they could compete with the Pistons.

The second game was still played at Auburn Hills Palace, the Pistons' home arena, and the starting lineups of the two teams were the same as the previous game, with no changes.
In this game, the Pistons home fans became even more fanatical, booing, mocking, and provoking the Wizards.
The Pistons also directly broke the illusion of the Wizards, and directly went all out from the beginning, not wanting to give them any chance at all.
At the beginning of the first quarter of the game, Gilbert Arenas's layup was blocked by Rasheed Wallace, the basketball was picked up by Chauncey Billups, Osborne and Richard Hamilton went all the way straight past the bag of Larry Hughes and Jarred Jeffries, and made a layup.
Then Antoine Jamison's back-to-back single was also destroyed by Rashid Wallace and Richard Hamilton, and Osborne picked up the basketball and ran wildly all the way, which was directly a chasing three-pointer.
In the first quarter of the game, the performance of the Wizards was very suffered, either missing the shot, or being stealed and blocked by the Pistons, and their scoring was very low in the first quarter anyway. The Pistons, on the other hand, scored normally, and at the end of the first quarter, the Pistons led the Wizards by nine points, 25-16.
At this moment, the Wizards sensed the Pistons' strong defensive strength, which was different from what they imagined to be evenly matched in the first quarter, so they quickly made adjustments in the second quarter.
But it was too late, and in the second quarter, the Pistons began to rain three-point patterns, first Osborne's three-pointer directly penetrated the Wizards' defense, and then Chauncey Billups also took advantage of his tempo change to shoot a three-pointer, Richard Hamilton also received a wonderful pass from Chaunci Billups and made a three-pointer from the outside, and even Rasheed Wallace tried to shoot a three-pointer, and he also made it.
After the Pistons' three-point rain, the Wizards basically didn't know how to counterattack, the Pistons' three-point shots were very powerful, and the Wizards' counterattacks were also very limited, only Gilbert Arenas and Antoine Jamison made a difference.
After halftime, the Pistons had a 22-point lead over the Wizards at 70:48, such a result caught the Wizards off guard, they didn't expect this to happen, they felt that this was not the script they imagined, they thought they should play on par with the Pistons, and then rely on Gilbert Arenas, Antoine Jamison's key play to win this game.
But reality slapped them hard, once the Pistons' three-point rain mode was turned on, there was almost no way to resist, and the only countermeasure was to attack, but the Wizards' three-point shooting ability was not very good except for Gilbert Arenas.
In the third quarter of the game, Osborne sat on the court again and watched his teammates abuse the vegetables, as soon as Tysa Ann Prince came on the court, the defensive level of the Pistons team immediately went up to a new level, and the Pistons' tactical arrangement was like this, first using the offensive mode to widen the score to a relatively safe gap, and then using the Pistons' initial defensive system to lock the opponent, if this strategy can work, then the victory of the Pistons is indestructible.
So in the third quarter of the game, the Wizards were even more embarrassed, Gilbert Arenas failed many singles, and Antoine Jamison was also caught many times and was cut off, so the third quarter of the game was very miserable, but it was not smooth enough, because of fouls, there were more out-of-bounds, but this kind of game scene is very conducive to the Pistons' tactical system, the Pistons are like a run-and-gun system when they attack, and when they defend, they are positional battles.
At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons led the Wizards by 27 points at 90:63, in order to avoid creating a tragedy, the Wizards directly announced their surrender in the fourth quarter, and Osborne had no chance to play in the fourth quarter, so in this game, Osborne also made 6 three-pointers and scored 22 points, which has lowered his average points per game.
In the end, the Pistons won the second game with a 110-88 victory over the Wizards.
The loss in Game 2 made the Wizards start to doubt their lives for a while, but the next game is on their home court, so for the support of the home fans, they must also play a hearty game on their home court.
Game 3 was soon played on the home court of the Washington Wizards, and both teams were determined to win this game, so the two teams had a fierce battle at the beginning of the game, and Gilbert Arenas was particularly impressive, coming up to give Chauncey Billups a big hat, and then hitting a three-pointer against Chaunsiy Billups' defense.
Osborne immediately responded with a three-pointer, and Antoine Jamison also played to his specialty of Mr. 20,000 points, making three consecutive mid-range shots to give the Wizards the lead.
The two sides were in full swing in the first quarter, and Osborne's three-point shot was also caught by the Wizards, plus his hand felt a little reduced, so Osborne didn't play much in the first quarter and only made three three-pointers.
The Wizards finally took the lead in the first quarter, with the Wizards leading the Pistons by eight points at 32-24.
In the second quarter of the game, the Wizards went all the way and attacked very desperately, and the Pistons were also a little suppressed by the crazy energy of the Wizards, so there were no surprises in the second quarter of the game, and the Pistons once again trailed the Wizards by 48:59 by 11 points.
This time, the Wizards thought they had seen the dawn of victory, but they were afraid that they would be overturned by the Pistons at the last moment, just like in the first game, but this time it was really the Wizards who thought too much.
The Pistons set off a counteroffensive frenzy in the third quarter, and the Pistons began to rain three-point under the leadership of Osborne, Osborne finished, Chauncy Billups shot, Chauncy Billups shot, Richard Hamilton shot, just one after another three-pointers, and the Wizards were killed, and after the third quarter of the game, the Pistons actually overtook the score, leading the Wizards by 9 points at 88:79, this time the Wizards are really desperate, if this game is lost, the Wizards will be eliminated, Because in the history of the NBA, no team has reversed the score when they are down 0-3.
Sure enough, in the final quarter, although the Wizards carried out a fierce counterattack, but every time the Pistons stepped up and helped the Pistons firmly grasp the 7-point lead, no matter how hard Gilbert Arenas tried to maintain the score gap at this baseline, he now finally understands the Cavaliers' LeBron James's feelings, which is simply a kind of despair.
In the end, the Pistons beat the Wizards again and defeated the Wizards 108-101, and this time the Wizards are really facing the dilemma of winning or going home. (To be continued.) )
