Chapter 242: The Miracle of December
The Pistons didn't care about the stats because they were so focused during this time, and even head coach Larry Brown didn't know exactly how many wins they had.
Their eyes are only on the next race, so they don't have a noticeable sense of what they've achieved.
It wasn't until they stopped that they realized what a great record they had created, winning all 14 games in December, especially Osborne's most consistent and outstanding performance in this series of victories and throughout December, he averaged 32.1 points, 3.4 assists, 5 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.5 turnovers per game in December.
If nothing else, Osborne is the league's Player of the Month, but now the league also divides the Player of the Month into the best in the East and the best in the West, so it doesn't reflect the role of Osborne's best player at all, if Osborne was in the eighties and nineties, he might have won the league's Player of the Month, because there was only one league best at that time, so at that time the Player of the Month honor could be regarded as a small MVP award.
And in the six-game winning streak after defeating the Bulls, the strength and tenacity of the Pistons are fully revealed, and their winning streak is full of weight, including the Finals-level teams Indiana Pacers and the New Jersey Nets, these teams can be used as a litmus test to test whether they are championship teams, from the current point of view, the Pistons obviously have absolute strength, and they don't suffer much against anyone, but they still have overwhelming strength at the last moment.
This also made their teammates very jealous later, even if they were many points ahead of them, they were still not at ease, after all, the Pistons can often make big comebacks in the final quarter.
The Pistons have gained a lot this month, Osborne won the Player of the Month in December with an average of 32+ data per game, as well as four Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week, Larry Brown also won the honor of Head Coach of the Month, although they are all in the East, but the discerning people know that the Pistons Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month, the head coach of the month is also the best in the league.
It's just that now the league's honor is getting bigger and bigger, which is also one of the means to mobilize players across the league to compete with each other.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the Pistons, because they still have to prepare for the new January game, and they have a game against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 1st, and they can't stop and enjoy their glory moments.
However, although they didn't have time to enjoy it, the official NBA website released a series of news about the Pistons, which really shocked the head coaches and management of the whole league, they didn't expect a team with a defensive focus to be able to defeat so many league giants, and most of them are super strong teams.
Some even studied their staffing and tactical coordination, and it was at this time that Osborne and Larry Brown's tactical system was truly exposed to the public. Especially for teams like the Lakers and Spurs that aim to win a championship, they really wonder if it is possible to poach Osborne, because they find that Osborne is really too suitable for the Pistons' team system.
While their team may not be a good fit or a need, it would be a good idea to weaken the Pistons a bit.
Although Lakers head coach Phil Jackson felt that the Lakers' lineup was strong enough, it was still difficult to predict whether the outcome would be against such a Pistons team, so he went to the general manager's office to discuss the possibility of digging into the wall.
The head coach of the Spurs, Zhuge Brown, has also been studying the Pistons, and he feels that the staffing of the Pistons is too similar to the Spurs, and even the team's tactical system is the same, of course, he doesn't think that the famous Larry Brown will copy his tactical system, after all, some tactical systems are indeed somewhat similar, and there are only a few tactical systems, which can basically be used.
If he was confident that he could beat the previous Pistons, but now he feels that it is really difficult to compare the current state of the Spurs and the current state of the Pistons, and the current state of the Pistons can be summed up as unstoppable.
And Pistons head coach Larry Brown is particularly happy now, because since Osborne took the initiative to integrate into the team, the Pistons have undergone qualitative changes, the previous team's inconsistent performance has been greatly reduced, and the team's tenacity has become stronger, he has reason to believe that as long as the game time is not over, they will not be able to give up on themselves, they will definitely fight until the last second.
With such a tough player and strong offensive firepower, it is really unimaginable that the Pistons will lose.
And it seems that during this period of time, the Pistons have also become the same star team as the Lakers, and have received a lot of media attention, especially Osborne, the guy has become the biggest beneficiary of the Pistons' good record, because he has good data, is very handsome, and is low-key, luxurious, and connotative.
During this time, Osborne's agent brother has been invited constantly, especially Osborne has a large number of fans, and these fans not only appreciate his football skills, but also appreciate his youth and gold.
As a result, there are many female fans, who have posted upside down, offering flowers and sending love letters.
Especially in recent times, Osborne will be quickly recognized no matter which public place he appears, such as restaurants, training halls, shops, hotels, home stadiums, there are people waiting for them, and then a large number of people begin to surround him, which also makes Osborne a little afraid to go out, which is also a famous annoyance.
Wanting to be famous before becoming famous, and regretting becoming famous after becoming famous, this is Osborne's truest thoughts now.
Now Osborne was practicing with his teammates in the training gym, and suddenly a staff member came over and said to Osborne: "Hey, Osborne, you really have a lot of flowers and love letters during this time?" Now, this is your love letter again, and there are pictures on it? Maybe it really has a phone number or something, but tell us honestly how many partners you've had lately. ”
Hearing the stadium manager's question, Osborne's teammates were very interested, after all, it must be false to say that they were not curious or envious, and they all asked Osborne to say it, especially those who were more familiar with Osborne, Chauncy Billups and Taysha Ann Princes, Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton, all coaxed: "Osborne, you can tell me about your romance, if you want to say that you suddenly became famous, there is a large part of our credit, but only you are famous, it is really unacceptable." ”
Osborne felt bitter in his heart, he also wanted to take the opportunity to take his sister, but he didn't dare, after all, there was an aunt in charge, but Osborne verbally did not admit defeat, he said: "You still have to come to your senses, I was famous a long time ago, you can't surpass me at all, first of all, you can't surpass me in the first article, who made me so handsome." ”
After listening to Osborne's answer, they all shouted that Osborne was too cunning, didn't say anything at all, and began to play with Osborne, and finally began to prepare for tomorrow's game in Osborne's begging for mercy. (To be continued.) )
