Chapter 129: A Fight of One Man
Osborne's playing time is almost at the limit of his body, but Osborne must continue to persevere, or the Pistons will be in trouble. Osborne was very moved to see his teammates dragging their tired bodies fighting for victory, but there is a good saying: will cannot resist the law.
So Osborne took advantage of the half-time break to gather his teammates on the court.
Osborne looked at Chauncey Billups and Taysha Amplins, as well as Ben Wallace and Memetoku all sweating profusely and looking tired, Osborne said: "We struggled a little bit in this game, but we still have a good chance of winning, so we can't give up on this game no matter what." We'll have to deal with them in the third quarter, or we're not going to be able to play, and we're not going to let up. ”
Chaunsibilupes echoed Osborne's words, adding: "Osborne is right, we can't afford to waste time, we have to show the momentum of the macho man, contain the opponent's attack, play our own rhythm, and then we can win." ”
Larry Brown was still thinking about whether to give up this game, after all, this game was too bad for the Pistons, but he didn't expect that the players didn't want to give up, so he carefully arranged the tactics, he said: "Osborne, everyone is not very good in this game, the key to the victory or defeat of this game is the Pistons bench players, if you can mobilize the players on the bench, we will definitely win this game." “
Osborne knew that Larry Brown was thinking of giving up the game, but his performance just now also gave him hope, so Osborne replied: "Even if the Pistons don't perform well, I won't admit defeat, just leave the team's offense to me in a while, and the others will take care of the defense." ”
Larry Brown felt a little strange in his heart about Osborn's answer, as if he had seen Allen Iverson back then. However, Larry Brown didn't say much, this game is still very important, after all, the Pistons have not lost in a row since the start of the season, and they can't bring such a state to their home court.
In the NBA league, the team is very strong, but generally the team that always wins and the team that always loses have a certain inertia, the team that always wins, the momentum has been played, and the overall players will become the same as adding attributes, becoming stronger and stronger, and playing better and better, and the team that always loses, the players have the habit of losing and losing, even if they have the opportunity to win, they will lose the game inexplicably in the end.
This is the reason why the NBA often has a winning streak or a losing streak, the most obvious is the Warriors and the 76ers, at the beginning, the Warriors set a winning streak, and the 76ers kept breaking the streak. In addition to strength, a large part of this is due to psychological reasons.
In order to avoid this from happening, Larry Brown agreed to Osborne's unreasonable demand.
As soon as the third quarter began, the Grizzlies began to bombard the Pistons, with Mike Miller, James Posey, and Pau Gasol all erupting one after another.
Although the Pistons were high-spirited, they still said that the will could not resist the law, and their defense was instantly exploded by the Grizzlies as a whole and became a hornet's nest, which made Osborne have a real urge to scold the street, and the advantage in the first half was finally turned into a four-point trail for the Pistons to 59:63.
In this game, the Pistons were very aggrieved, and the main players were completely pressed by the Grizzlies due to the fatigue of fighting for a long time. Osborne was just barely exploding at all, but Osborne scored a little more.
Then Osborne was not to be outdone and tried to shoot a three-pointer, James Posey saw that Osborne had not given up resisting, so he tried his best to defend him, and then this ball Osborne's shot didn't feel too good, and although the shot felt a little bad, the basketball finally went in. Then Osborne stopped betting on his teammates, he motioned for his teammates to cover him to block a shot for him, and then Osborne made a few more three-pointers, although he didn't hit them all, but his few three-pointers stopped the bleeding for the Pistons.
If it weren't for these three-pointers, the Pistons would have been blown up a long time ago.
At this time, the Grizzlies finally stopped keeping anything, and directly implemented a double package against Osborne, no matter what, they couldn't let Osborne score again, if Osborne scored again, even if the Grizzlies won the game, fans would only remember Osborne's scoring record, and now Osborne has scored 48 points, if he doesn't stop it, I don't know how many points Osborne will score.
So then the Grizzlies kept using the double bag to wrap around Osborne, not giving him space to shoot, which made Osborne very uncomfortable, his offensive ability with the ball was not as strong as those superstars, and his physical strength was about to run out, and it was impossible to play basketball like that. Osborne had no choice but to pass the ball and hope that his team-mates could give him some help.
It's just something that makes Osborne sad, he passes a few decent balls, but his teammates all turn his passes into iron sounds, and it's a very difficult situation on his side, there is no way to shoot quickly, because his shot is not so fast, and he is always interfered with by James Posey, which is why Osborne can't do it alone.
At this time, Osborne finally couldn't stand the poor performance of his teammates, and took advantage of the dead ball to call a timeout.
Preparing to adjust, in fact, Osborne is preparing to recover his strength, if this game is lost because of his physical exhaustion, Osborne will definitely not be willing.
So how does Osborne recover his physical strength now, of course there is a way, don't forget that Osborne is definitely not a man who is fighting, he is a man with a plug-in.
As soon as he got off the court, he contacted the system god through his brain, and Osborne asked: "System god, help me check first, how much time is there before the next game." ”
The system god checked it slightly, and said: "The next game is still two days away, and the next game is the Pistons away to challenge the New York Knicks, why are you asking this." “
Osborne didn't answer, just said: "Then don't think too much, the system is big, you can give me a bottle of that sports function drink in a while, I need it very much now?" ”
When the system heard Osborne's words, he immediately said calmly: "Osborne, you won't take this drink if you don't kill you, but I remember that you haven't said this for a long time, and you want to change your hexagram, which is really shameless." “
Osborne heard the cynicism of the system and replied: "This is not caused by your unreliable system, if you hadn't gone back on your word, I would have been supernatural." But you guy actually tore up the agreement unilaterally, which is why I got into such a situation, not only are you not ashamed, but you are still sneering here. If you don't give it, if you don't give it, then we will cut it in two in the future, anyway, there is no basis for cooperation. ”
