Chapter 211: The Pistons' Big Victory
The Heat have fallen into more passivity since Dwyane Wade went off the court, and without Wade, a breakthrough expert, tearing apart the Pistons' defense and killing the Pistons' interior players, the Heat's offense is almost at a standstill.
At the start of the third quarter, with the exception of Eddie Jones and Caron Butler, who were able to use their individual abilities to score some points, everyone else was completely killed by the Pistons' choking defense.
However, Kalom Butler's offense is not very good, he is a defensive player who is known for his strong defense, so although Osborne's defense is not very good, Kalombbutler's contribution is very limited, after all, Kalombutler's offensive means are really limited.
Eddie Jones was supposed to be a proper starting point guard for the Heat, and only played off the bench due to the arrival of Dwyane Wade, but he complained about Wade at all, and thought Wade was just a rookie player, a rookie player with inconsistent shooting.
Therefore, whenever Eddie Jones has the opportunity to play, he will try to show his projection ability and scoring level as much as possible.
Eddie Jones covered through a pick-and-roll screen from teammate Lamar Odom and then made a direct three-pointer for the Heat.
And the Pistons are not weak, Osborne's current three-point shot can be done almost without any blocking and dismantling, if you want to say that Osborne was a semi-automatic gun in the past, then the current Osborne is a fully automatic artillery, and the three-point shot can be done without the cooperation of teammates.
Osborne faced Caron Butler's defense and came to a step-back three-pointer, and Caron Butler could only watch Osborne's three-point shot, and Caron Butler couldn't react to Osborne's sudden dry shot. Second, no matter how well Caron Butler bounced, he couldn't reach Osborne's step-back jumper.
Osborne also returned a three-pointer, which made Eddie Jones, who had just made a three-pointer, very uncomfortable. This Osborne is clearly demonstrating, and his own side is a little unable to play. Because the Pistons are doing a good job defensively. Except for Osborne, everyone else is on the fence and unrelenting.
From the point of view of alignment, now the players on the court are aligned, the Heat team is far behind, the Pistons can even be said to be the complete victory of the Heat, the Heat's scoring points are guarded by the Pistons defenders, and Osborne, Caron Butler has no way to score.
So the game in the third quarter looked. It was the Pistons defensive players who abused the Heat, and the Heat had no resistance, couldn't open the situation offensively, and the defense couldn't stop the Pistons' tactical cooperation and Osborne's super offense.
The Pistons played well both individually and tactically, while the Heat only had occasional flashes of individual offense, and once the individual offense was gone, the Heat fell into an embarrassing situation of scoring drought.
So by the end of the third quarter, the Heat was still 12 points behind the Pistons at 56:68, and Wade could only sit on the bench and watch the Heat being abused due to injury. He asked to play many times, but was not allowed by the head coach, Wade could only sit on the bench and watch the Heat fall behind little by little, and he also hated that he couldn't play when the team needed him.
Seeing that the Heat were powerless. Pistons head coach Larry Brown began working on his rotation lineup, so Osborne and Ben Wallace went off the floor, and then Larry Brown replaced Daco Milicic and Memetoku as the players in the fourth quarter.
The Heat saw that the Pistons dared to humiliate them with a bench lineup in the fourth quarter. After all, in the eyes of other teams, the Pistons' rotation lineup is a bench lineup, and the Heat team has not lost its sense of resistance. So the Pistons can be regarded as detonating the Heat's pride, and even Dwyanewade, who is injured, is thinking about playing again. Earn respect for the team.
However, the head coach will not risk the health of his players for an unimportant regular game, and once again refused, he said to Wade: "If you want to contribute to the team, you must have a healthy body, your main task now is to take care of injuries, don't always play with injuries, I don't agree with the sentence that minor injuries are not in the line of fire, if a small injury becomes a big injury, then it is embarrassing?" So you don't think you're lightly injured, I think you have to figure it out that the Heat need a healthy you, not an injured you. ”
After that, the head coach stopped talking and let Wade think about it alone.
Even this kind of Heat team showed their courage and determination, first Ramal Odom took the lead, he quickly crushed Daco Milicic with his weight advantage, and then a coquettish pass to Brian Grant, from this ball, it can be seen that Lamar Odom is indeed very talented, not only can play a pleasing offense, but also can pass a relaxed basketball to his teammates.
After Lamar woke up, the Heat collectively began to explode, and Ralph Alston also played Chauncey Billups and Tysha Ann Prince with his juggling layups, and also scored easy layups.
However, the Pistons will not let the Heat go berserk, so Chauncey Billups soon had a plan to counterattack, he used his physical advantage to force Ralph Alston, and then assisted the inside Memetoku dunk, which finally stopped the bleeding for the Pistons, otherwise the Heat team played momentum, but it would be difficult to defend.
However, even so, the Heat team did not mean to stop, it was Ramar Odom who attacked with the ball again, this time he began to force Dacomilisic again, and did not choose to pass the ball himself to prepare to play one, he wanted to play with his back, and then used a few shoulder shaking movements, and directly scored the ball with a backward jumper.
However, Ramal Odom's goal was the Heat's final glory, and then Larry Brown called a timeout, adjusted the lineup, and replaced Osborne and Ben Wallace in preparation for a wave of reaping games.
Subsequently, the Pistons began to bombard the Heat with the strongest offensive lineup and the strongest defensive lineup, first Osborne made several three-pointers in a row, and then Chauncey Billups assisted Ben Wallace and Tysa Ann Prince to score a few mid-range shots, and then strengthened the pressure on the defensive end, these changes made the Heat unable to resist for a while, so the Pistons played a wave of 14:3 climax.
And the Pistons also led the Heat by nearly 20 points at 84:65, such a huge point difference, with less than 2 minutes left, the Heat could only surrender, and then the two teams tacitly withdrew the main force, and the game became garbage time.
In the end, the Pistons defeated the Heat 90-79. (To be continued.) )
