Chapter 442 The Spurs that are gradually taking shape
Just finished playing the Houston Rockets, the Pistons began their journey to challenge the San Antonio Spurs, one of the top three in Texas, Osborn thought that the Pistons had a good schedule in December, but at the beginning of this month's game, there was a four-game in a row, three of which were the top three teams in Texas, which was too busy and compact.

However, Larry Brown wants to fight more with the strong teams in the league, so as to see how strong the Pistons' undefeated King Kong body is, and also wants to see if he can expose some problems, so as to take the opportunity to solve them, he doesn't want to encounter problems in the playoffs, and it will be too late at that time, because the playoffs are a series, a knockout game, once restrained, it is difficult to turn over, and then everything will be over, in fact, such things are not uncommon, the regular season is awesome, but in the playoffs, he was beaten, Among them, LeBron James should be the most experienced.
In 07, LeBron James went all the way to the finals but was swept by the veteran Spurs, lost 0:4, and then won the league's first regular record in the regular season, and won the regular season MVP twice in a row, but in the playoffs, he fell to the Magic team and the Celtics, and there are many such experiences, the most famous is the 73-win overall runner-up.
After coming to the small city of San Antonio, Osborne's feeling is different, this city is very eccentric, obviously not a city that loves basketball, but professional basketball can be so successful, it is really unusual, God here is too unfair, the Spurs' home court is known as the home of the devils, but the attendance rate of their home court has been in the lower reaches of the league, and even the team's reinforcements are cautious, afraid that they will accidentally exceed the luxury tax line.
Envy is envy, the strength of the Spurs is undoubted, and it is not in vain to enter the playoffs for more than 20 consecutive years. Povich would be his career rival, and the Spurs would be the Pistons' most dangerous opponent in the championship race.
The next night's game will be played at the Spurs' home arena, with the Spurs starting lineup, center Rasunestrovic, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Manuginobili, and point guard Tony Parker.
The Pistons also fielded the classic starting five against them, and while this game may not be as exciting, for professionals, this game is a tactical battle and a textbook of typical team basketball.
The Pistons and the Spurs have similar structural attributes, the Pistons are led by a superstar with four All-Stars, and the Spurs currently only have one superstar, Tim Duncan, plus All-Stars Tony Parker and Manuginobili, as well as a group of bench bandits who are ruthless in defense, the two teams are just equal, chess opponents, will meet good talents, and the head coach is also a level, this is simply the best whetstone in the regular season, and it would be a waste of opportunity if you don't take advantage of it.
After the two sides warmed up, the referee signaled that the game officially began, the Pistons center Ben Wallace and the Spurs center Lasunestrovic fought for the ball, the referee threw the basketball into the sky The game officially began, Ben Wallace quickly grabbed the basketball with agility and dialed the basketball to Chauncey Billups, Chaunsi Billups still has a great advantage against Tony Parker.
Tony Parker had no way to resist Chauncy Billups' physical crushing, Chaunsi Billups leaned against Tony Parker with his body, and passed Tony Parker with a turn, and scored the first goal of the game with a direct shot.
Today's Osborne must have suffered, because Bruce Bowen is not a character to be messed with, although this guy is not very physical, but the notoriety is the same as the Pistons' former bad boy army boss Bill Lambbill, Bruce Bowen is also a defensive player who specializes in scrapping people, and the players he is entangled with must be absolutely careful not to lose their entire career for an unimportant jump shot.
Then the Spurs players immediately taught the Pistons players a lesson, Tony Parker broke through with the ball, Tony Parker's agility is also Chauncy Billups can not match, Tony Parker passed Chaunci Billups, he directly passed the basketball to Tim Duncan, Tim Duncan did not rush to attack himself, he quickly passed the basketball to the outside point guard Manuginobili, Manouginobili dropped a three-pointer into the basket.
From this offense, it can be seen that the future famous GDP combination has begun to emerge, Osborne admires the cooperation of the three of him, Tim Duncan, as the boss of the team, has made great efforts to cultivate the confidence of newcomers, and the purpose of his existence in the Spurs is to allow Spurs players to integrate into the Spurs system.
Then the Pistons also showed a very classic Pistons team cooperation, Chauncy Billups passed the basketball to Richard Hamilton, Richard Hamilton did not stick to the ball and did not wait for Manuginobili to run over to defend, he passed the basketball to Rasheed Wallace, Rasheed Wallace against Tim Duncan certainly not take advantage of anything, so he passed the basketball to Osborne who was standing in the bottom corner, and Ben Wallace was in front of Osborne to give him a block and cover.
After Osborne received the basketball, Bruce Bowen wanted to run over to defend Osborne, but Ben Wallace blocked the player who wanted to harass Osborne, so Osborne threw it out with a casual three-pointer.
This three-point shot went into the basket very neatly, and the Pistons' simple tactical transfer of the ball this time had a great effect.
But then Tim Duncan also began to exert his power, his ability is not in his strong individual ability, but in his ability to play the greatest power of the team system to deal a serious blow to the opponent, especially in the ability to control the court, as long as the Spurs are more than 3 points ahead of you, you don't want to catch up, generally you can't catch up, he just hangs you, so that you can't advance or retreat, the team that is hung is equivalent to a hooked fish, between the retraction and release of you exhausted, and finally give up the game.
The Pistons were almost hung by the Spurs, the Spurs' defense is very targeted, generally targeting players like Osborne with super scoring ability, Tim Duncan and the center form an inside barrier, Bruce Bowen is responsible for all kinds of small actions to harass Osborne, and Manugino Belgium is ready to dig out Osborne's basketball.
Osborne's several offensive failures were due to Tony Parker and Manuginobili stabbing Osborne's basketball multiple times, which left Osborne with no way to break through, and even the shooting would be uncomfortable by Bruce Bowen's small movements and trash talk.
In the first quarter, both sides did not have much desire to attack, but were quite interested in defense, so after the first quarter, the Spurs led the Pistons by 2 points at 19:17, and the score was so low that it had not been seen in the Pistons for a long time. (To be continued.) )
