Osborne now found himself a big change from before, although he didn't have the bonus of skills, but his feeling quickly returned, the feeling of breaking everything.

And Osborne also found that his defense is becoming more and more active, and the effect is good, he has contributed three steals, he does not need to defend deliberately, just follow the feeling, Osborne always has the subconscious to be able to predict the opponent's actions.

And his offense is also unconsciously biased towards violence, as long as there is a chance, Osborne's heart is like a devil tempting him to want to perform.

In this section of the game, Osborne has slowly forgotten the skill prop card, and he only has an increasingly violent style of play in his heart, constantly impacting the Knicks' interior line and constantly creating damage to the Knicks.

In the third quarter of the game, both teams maintained a high-intensity confrontation, the Knicks used super individual talent and overall defensive ability to complete the game, while the Pistons played more united, offense and defense are using overall defense, as well as tactical coordination.

Osborne relies on the Pistons' strong offensive and defensive system, and when he attacks, the rest of the Pistons will do professional blocking and dispensing tactics for him, and when defending, all the players use a joint defense strategy.

The Knicks' offense is purely based on individual talent, like Jamal Marshburn, Alan Houston, Stephen Marbury, and Anfernee Hardaway all have good offensive talent, and they don't need special tactics, they just need to give them basketball to do it themselves.

Defensively, the Knicks feel quite united, although I don't know why the Knicks are suddenly so united on the defensive side, it all needs to start with their head coach. Don Cheni, who was temporarily transferred from his assistant position to head coach after Van Gundy's departure. Although he doesn't have the talent to turn decay into magic, his defensive skills are still good. So the Knicks team he trained also began to slowly build a defensive system.

So in recent games, the Knicks have changed their style of play drastically, from a profligate team to a decent defensive team. And he also told the players that you can play whatever you want when attacking, but you have to listen to me when defending. His tuning also led to the Pistons playing evenly with the Knicks, which was generally good.

Osborne is now enjoying basketball more and more, and his image of his previous style of play is becoming more and more profound, so Osborne is more and more fond of this violent style of play, although his body is not so strong yet. But his flexibility now is top-notch.

In Osborne's offense, the other players of the Pistons don't have to deliberately cover for the block, because now Osborne can handle other offensive means except for three-point shots, which also greatly liberates the autonomy of other players.

Throughout the third quarter, the Pistons scored 19 points, which was a low score, but the Pistons also managed to defend the Knicks. They limited Jamal Marshburn, Stephen Marbury, and Alan Houston to death, so the Knicks only scored 13 points.

Overall, the performance of both teams is half-hearted. Don't say anyone, the Pistons temporarily led the Knicks by 5 points at 60:55 after the third quarter.

It's good that the Knicks can play this situation against the Pistons, a seeded team, and the Pistons usually blow up opponents in the third quarter. Both teams didn't attack well today, but it was relative. Both sides defended well.

The decisive moment is approaching, and Pistons head coach Larry Brown has nothing to say. Because I really don't know what else to say, the Pistons team has become very weird now, and it is less and less like the Pistons team he knows, so he simply doesn't say anything, and just lets the players play by themselves, and it's a big deal to lose a game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pistons and the Knicks launched a series of defensive battles, Ben Wallace stubbornly pestered Kort Thomas, Elden Campbell replaced Tysa Amprims on the court to defend Keith Van Horn, Osborne also watched Jamal Mashburn carefully, Richard Hamilton stared at Alan Houston, Chauncy Billups was in charge of Stephen Marbury.

Stephen Marbury's several passes were interfered with by Pistons players, so the Knicks' tactics didn't work, and the Knicks simply didn't play tactics, and the players each used their own individual talents to complete the offense. On the Pistons' side, it is much simpler, that is, blocking and dismantling, but with this simple tactic, the Knicks are also powerless.

In the end, the Knicks had no choice but to play Osborne, a defensive weakness, but the Knicks head coach obviously thought wrong, and now Osborne is no longer the eye defender who is unwilling to defend, and now Osborne is more proactive and more flexible and quick.

Jamal Mashburn has his back to eat Osborne, Osborne is also very hard to defend, but it seems that Jamal Mashburn has not learned his lesson, and he used his dribble that he can't bear to look at directly, Osborne saw this situation, didn't say much, and directly stole the basketball again, and then Osborne was not in a hurry to get down, because the Knicks also had a plan, as long as Osborn or others stealed, they would retreat to the backcourt as soon as possible to prevent the Pistons' defensive counterattack.

Osborne had no choice, so he tried a three-point shot two steps away from the three-point line, and the three-point shot was decisively scored.

The Knicks saw that Osborne was still able to shoot three-pointers, and immediately changed their defensive strategy, no matter what, they were defending Osborne. This caught Osborne off guard, because his passing skills were gone, so Osborne's pass could not find the crosshairs at all now. As a result, the Knicks and Pistons are once again caught in a defensive battle.

Although the game was very anxious, the Pistons were obviously much more relaxed than the Knicks, in the final stage of the game, the game time was still 2 minutes away, and the Pistons were still 3 points behind the Knicks, after all, Osborne's scoring point was strangled by the Knicks, and the Pistons could only be played by Richard Hamilton, but the offensive talent of the Knicks was super strong.

In the last two minutes, Larry Brown saw that there was still hope of winning, and he wanted to fight for it, and then Larry Brown asked the whole team to cover Osborne, and warned Osborne that if the ball was won, the party incident would not be blamed in the past, otherwise the team would be banned for one game.

This pressure made Osborne unable to retreat, so he simply fought with the Knicks, and until the last six seconds, the Pistons were still two points behind the Knicks. (To be continued.) )
