The Pistons were pretty good on the defensive end today, and although Paul Pierce scored so many points, his teammates were pretty well guarded and barely scored many points. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Pistons are temporarily behind, the situation is still at the point where they can hold on.

From the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Larry Brown asked the players to take good care of Paul Pierce and be sure to press down his scores, after all, the Pistons have always been a strong defensive team, and if they are always scored high points, the Pistons will have a dull face.

Hearing this, Osborne couldn't help but complain: The Pistons' defense has declined so quickly this year, and many players have already obtained super data, and there are not many more, why are you so obsessed with these, as long as the team can win. Spit and complain, Osborne didn't dare to say it directly.

The theme of the second quarter was set, which was to limit Paul Pearce's scoring and then take the lead.

The second quarter of the game began, the first leg was the Pistons' possession, Osborne ran left and right to get rid of the Celtics shooting guard Wallis Zebiak, and after finding a good position, he motioned to his teammates to pass the ball to him, at which time the substitute Tysian Princes handed the basketball directly to Osborne.

Osborne received a pass from Tysa Princes and made a jumper, and the basketball flew quickly to the basket, this time so fast that the Celtics players didn't have time to make up for it.

Osborne overtook the score with this shot, and then he teamed up with Taysa Ampyrins to defend Paul Pierce, Paul Pierce saw Osborne and Taysa Ampyrins wrapping him, without the slightest hesitation, and motioned to his teammates to hand the basketball directly to him, Ricky Davis originally wanted to attack himself, but seeing that Paul Pierce had a request, he had to hand over the basketball to Paul Pierce.

After Paul Pierce received the basketball, Osborne and Tysa Amplins quickly stepped forward to surround Paul Pierce, Paul Pierce smiled and said, "You two can't stop me." ”

After saying that, Paul Pierce made a quick breakthrough on the right side, past Tyshire Springs, Osborne quickly followed up to make up the defense, but Paul Pierce directly used his body to force Osborne, and Osborne was knocked away by Paul Pierce a few meters before staggering to his feet.

That's when Paul Pierce hit the basketball with an easy jumper, and the Celtics took the lead again.

Osborne is very unhappy with this feeling, no wonder he didn't like players who used to use their bodies to rampage, although Paul Pierce has good skills, but his body is also extremely strong, and he will not waste time solving fights with his body.

Osborne felt that he should change with Rasheed Wallace at this time, after all, Paul Pierce was really fierce, not something he could stand as a weak guy, but then he thought about it, as long as Paul Pierce couldn't shoot three-pointers, then he had to shoot a few three-pointers to kill Paul Pierce's sharpness.

The offense on the Pistons' side tends to be reasonable, whoever has the opportunity to shoot, the basketball will be passed to whom, so in order to have a chance to shoot, Osborne's runs are still quite frequent, but fortunately, the Celtics' defense is not very good, most of Osborne's runs are empty, and Chauncey Billups has also passed the basketball to Osborne many times.

Osborne made three three-pointers in a row, and then prevented Paul Pierce from shooting three-pointers, so that the Pistons really took the lead, and Osborne's three three-pointers also timed out the game, and the Pistons led the Celtics by 2 points at 38:36.

At the timeout, Osborne handed over the defense of Paul Pierce to Rasheed Wallace, and he continued to maintain the offensive firepower himself, so that the Celtics had no chance of turning the tables.

The Celtics don't know what they're up to, but needless to say, they're finding ways to limit Osbourne's three-point shooting.

After the timeout, the Celtics' offense didn't change, but there were some subtle changes on defense, as long as the Pistons players wanted to shoot three-pointers, the Celtics players would pounce like hungry tigers.

Osborne, as the Pistons' main three-point shooter, is very afraid of this rude defense, as if he wants to hurt you, but fortunately, Osborne only shoots three-pointers when he is open, and he shoots extremely fast, basically when the Celtics players want to pounce, there is no chance to block.

Osborne's three-point shot has not been greatly limited, Paul Pierce can't help it, he has also tried to shoot three-pointers many times, although the shooting rate is average, but it is also a three-point shot.

And whenever Osborne wants to attack with the ball, the Celtics players also can't break through with the ball, but Osborne can also pass the ball.

The Celtics' well-planned defensive strategy was disrupted by Osborne alone, and when you go to contain Osborne, there are holes in other positions, and when you don't go to contain Osborne, Osborne's offense makes you desperate.

Paul Pierce has no choice, he has to use his offense to help the Celtics, after all, most of the players of the Pistons are now old, the state is declining rapidly, and the defense is not as good as before, like Dwyane Wade, LeBron James can cut high scores on the head of the Pistons, and he can naturally do this as an old star.

It's just that what Paul Pierce didn't expect was that the Pistons have been very different since they played the Heat, even if their roster is aging, but they are not soft persimmons at the mercy of others.

Paul Pierce was interfered with by Rasheed Wallace on several offenses, his shot missed, and the breakthrough layup was also pushed by Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace to stagger down, and Paul Pierce relied on this way to barely get a few points.

Fortunately, the offensive efficiency of the Pistons is not high, Osborne's proud three-point shot is also frequently ironed, the defensive intensity of the two teams is getting bigger and bigger, and the scores of both teams have become extravagant expectations, this situation has lasted for a while, both teams have fallen into a scoring drought, such a game makes people drowsy, and at halftime, the Pistons only led the Celtics by 6 points at 52:46.

The two teams seem to have agreed, you score and I score, you don't score, I don't score, it's such a coincidence.
