Chapter 420: Osborne in a Hundred Shots
In the first quarter of the game, he easily scored 24 points, and Osborne's shooting was super high, he shot 9 of 10, including 6 three-pointers, such a hot touch made Osborne more confident, but also made Larry Brown more assured, he believes that as long as Osborne finds a few players who can block and cover and defend, this team will not be a weak team, because Osborne's firepower is enough to withstand a team's offensive firepower.

In the second quarter, Larry Brown also specially instructed all the players to try their best to cooperate with Osborne, multi-block and dismantle cover, one block and dismantle cover is not good, then two people block and dismantle cover, two people block and dismantle cover, then three people, anyway, there is only one purpose, that is, to create shooting space for Osborne.
Lindsey Hunter listened to Larry Brown's assignment and knew that it would be difficult for him to score today, but fortunately, he was a point guard and could still brush up on assists, and Rashid Wallace could still brush up on rebounds. Forcing Richard Hamilton and Dacomilisic to go to the defensive cover, but even so they still have no complaints, they also want to see how many points Osborne, who concentrates all the firepower of the Pistons, can score, if he is a creator of history, it is not bad to be a witness to history.
In the second quarter, all the players of the Pistons were active, actively defending, and trying to play blocking and dismantling tactics.
The Bobcats took the lead in attacking, and the Pistons still adopted the method of encircling and blocking the ball to press the ball carrier.
Osborne is also very aggressive, and he doesn't want anyone else to think that he is still that defensive hole, although almost everyone now recognizes his offensive prowess as a three-point master after Reggie Miller and has the potential to usher in an era.
But people are simply speechless about his defensive skills, so that now other team players are willing to play the small forward position when playing against the Pistons, because they think that although I can't beat you offensively, but you can't guard me, so Osborne is gradually recognized as a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense, and some people even jokingly say: God gave Osborne the strongest offense, and also gave him the worst defense, he is half a devil and half an angel, but he met a head coach like Larry Brown, brought out his devilish side to the fullest, and now the rest of the Pistons are Osborne's babysitter.
However, after Osborne became more and more familiar with his body, his defense gradually improved, and his defensive awareness gradually followed, so there was no shortage of roadblocks and robberies.
For example, this time, Brevennight was oppressed by Richard Hamilton and Lindey Hunt, and was forced to pass the basketball to Raj Wallace, but at this time, Osborne suddenly jumped out from behind Raj Wallace and blocked the passing route, he picked up the basketball and went full speed, everyone was left behind him, and he directly used the standard three-step layup to get a chic and elegant one-handed split dunk.
And this is not an isolated case, the other players of the Pistons usually inadvertently cooperate with his actions, such as Rasheed Wallace blocking Emeka Okafor, just as Emeka Okafor was holding the ball and thinking about life, Osborne directly poked the ball away, and then picked up the basketball and made another jump and then made a whirlwind dunk under the basket.
The Pistons' multiple steals and direct robs began to doubt their lives, but the Bobcats will not always sink like this, Emeca Okafor and Gerard Wallace teamed up to stage a counterattack, although Dacomilisic also worked hard to defend, but his physical condition determined that he was not suitable for playing center, but suitable for playing power forward, playing center position, he not only could not fight physically, his lack of experience was also a problem.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to defend against the cooperation of the two major strikers, and his defense is similar to Osborne, but his offense does not have a third of Osborne's ability.
Osborne has no surprises about the Bobcats' counterattack, as the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the NBA, as long as they have a tacit understanding, they can cause some trouble, but Osborne still likes this situation, otherwise the game will be wasted, and his record-breaking efforts will be in vain.
As soon as the Bobcats improved, Osborne turned on his three-point rain mode again, but this time the Bobcats finally sent someone to wrap him up, because the head coach of the Bobcats thought that the other players on the Pistons team did not attack and handed over the basketball to Osborne, so he thought that he should catch the big and take the small, and it was okay to prevent Osborne alone, but the idea was good, but the reality was really cruel.
Even if they used the trap tactic to flank Osborne, Osborne always had someone around him to cover him for the pick-and-roll.
Osborne's scoring show also began, as Osborne made another steal of Gerard Wallace while defending the Bobcats, and then he quickly launched a counterattack, this time instead of choosing a dunk, he chose to chase a three-pointer directly near the three-point line at the top of the arc.
Then Emeka Okafor forced Dacomilisic to beat Dacomilisic successfully, Dacomilisic's performance made Larry Brown unbearable, he felt that Dacomilisic's defense was not as good as Osborne, and Osborne could at least steal or something, but Dacomilisic didn't even know how to raise his hands in addition to lowering his center, if it weren't for the starting center Ben Wallace and the backup center Derek Coleman were banned, he would have replaced Dacomilisic a long time ago.
Larry Brown finally couldn't stand it anymore, he called a timeout, and then replaced Dacomillisic, adjusted the existing lineup, put Ben Wallace in the center position, Tysa Amplins in the power forward position, adjusted Osborne to the point guard position, and adjusted Richard Hamilton to the small forward position, which was a complete liberation of Osborne.
Osborne doesn't have to worry about anything now, not even defense, and Osborne, the Bobcats' point guard, has never heard of it, and based on his performance in the first quarter, there's nothing special about it, so Osborne is fully engaged in the three-point shooting mission.
After the Pistons had a lot of reversing, Osborne received a quick pass from Richard Hamilton, and he adjusted a little and threw the three-pointer out with his hands.
Then the Bobcats offense was disrupted, and Rashid Wallace grabbed the rebound and handed the basketball directly to Osborne to deal with, Osborne was also full of confidence, he didn't want to waste time, so he threw the basketball directly into the midcourt.
In this way, the score difference between the Bobcats and the Pistons is getting bigger and bigger, and Osborne didn't shoot a lot in this quarter, only 13, but his score was very amazing, and he actually hit 100 shots in this quarter, including 3 steals and fast breaks.
Osborne shot a total of 7 three-pointers, 6 two-pointers, because of his style of play at will, it is difficult for ordinary people to foul on him, Osborne also does not like others to foul, so this quarter Osborne still did not make free throws, but even so his single-quarter score has reached 33 points, plus the 24 points he scored in the first quarter, Osborne scored 57 points in the half, and his shots were only 23 times 22 shots, with a shooting rate of 95.6%.
The Pistons head coach couldn't help but laugh out loud at such a performance, and the Bobcats players had already been knocked unconscious. (To be continued.) )
