Chapter 347: Narrowly Won
After a weird half of the game, the Pistons were powerless to complain about their performance, they even drew with the Heat many times, this is not like the style of the Pistons, the Pistons used to play, even if they couldn't score goals, they could lock the opponent with defense, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, and the defense they are proud of doesn't work.

Not only did there be problems with the defense, but even Osborne's originally stunning offense was gone, as if it had suddenly disappeared, and Larry Brown knew that Osborne still had All-Star level strength. But compared to the previous momentum of the world's supremacy, Osborne has also changed from the level of outstanding talent to the level of good talent.
It's rare to see something like Osborne, who is at the top of the league as soon as he enters the league, and there is no so-called rookie wall, but he is getting better and better.
The reasonable explanation for Osborne's current situation should be the legendary rookie wall, although it is a little weird, but other theories don't make sense.
In fact, only Osborne himself knows the real situation, and he knows that the reason for his ups and downs in state is due to the attitude of the system and the degree of rejection of this world, in fact, at the beginning, Osborne's performance was so outstanding, just to help him make a reputation, and then slowly reach the peak through self-evolution, rather than relying on external forces, so Osborne's performance is much stronger than the original.
However, Osborne is not satisfied with this effect, he has given up a lot for the sake of basketball, neither a girlfriend nor a nightclub, he is completely an ascetic basketball player.
So Osborne is very dissatisfied with his current strength, and the angry Osborne continued to increase his three-point shots at the beginning of the third quarter, no matter who was defending him, he did not hesitate to throw the basketball out, and regardless of whether the basketball went in or not, he went directly back to defense after shooting.
Wade is also in the same color, although Wade has almost no three-pointers, but his two-point shot is also quite powerful, you shoot your three-pointer, I hit my two-point shot, but even then I will beat you.
However, the third quarter was not a personal show for the two of them, the Pistons were strict against Dwyane Wade, and the Heat were also strict against Osborne, so they didn't have much chance to play at all, so they were taken care of, and since they were both taken care of, the task of charging was handed over to their teammates, but Wade and Osborne became idlers.
On the Pistons' side, Chancey Billups and Richard Hamilton took the lead, they combined to score five points, and then Caron Butler and Ramare Odom also contributed six points in color, and then Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace also received passes from Osborne many times to complete the inside attack, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war again, with the score leading as many as 22 times.
After the Heat's center Udonis Haslem hit another two-pointer, the Heat overtook the score again, and Pistons head coach Larry Brown felt that he couldn't go on like this, so even if he won the Pistons, he would be very demoralized, so he called a long timeout to ease the tense and oppressive atmosphere.
After all the main players came down, he called the main players to his side, "Everyone has worked hard, I really didn't expect the game to become like this, but don't relax, our chances of winning this game are still far greater than the Heat team, after all, we still have a reserve team, and the Heat team is already at the end of the crossbow, you all come down for a while to rest, and when the main players of the Heat team are exhausted, our opportunity will come, So I'll let a couple of players come down and rest in a moment. ”
Everyone had a bad premonition when they heard it, especially Osborne, who actually didn't have much effect on this game, and the only role was to attract two people to let go, but this didn't mean much to the Pistons.
Sure enough, Osborne was withdrawn in the second half of the third quarter, only to hear Larry Brown say: "Osborne, you can come down and rest in a while, and in the fourth quarter, you can play however you want." ”
If he usually heard such a promise, Osborne must be very happy, but now when he hears this kind of news, he feels very lost and worried, he is afraid that the Pistons will not be able to withstand the Heat, so that at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the situation is already irreversible, although there are some such worries, Osborne also agreed, and he also wants to take this opportunity to see the level of the real Pistons starting five tigers.
After the timeout, the Pistons players attacked, and saw Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton and Tysa Ann Prince cooperate quite tacitly, which made Osborne, who was watching from the bottom, ashamed.
Such a Pistons team actually suppressed the arrogant Heat team in momentum, especially Charon Butler, Dwyane Wade basically did not have many good offensive opportunities, and was defended by Rasheed Wallace and Taysha Amprins.
Osborne felt that at this time, the Pistons were a whole, a perfect and inseparable whole, and he would only make his teammates uncomfortable with it.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Pistons suppressed the Heat's offense in one fell swoop, and although they didn't score much, they finally completed the task, giving the Heat a heavy blow and giving the Pistons hope of winning.
After the end of the third quarter, the Pistons actually led the Heat by one point 69-68, is it really not easy? In the eyes of some people, this is simply a miracle, after all, the Pistons ace player Osborne has gone to rest, and it is a small miracle to be able to play like this with the Heat team with great combat effectiveness, but I really think only Osborne knows, he knows that this is a complete Pistons team, an impregnable Pistons team.
made Osborne's embarrassment about to be committed, and in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown really kept the contract and let Osborne do whatever he wanted.
But how could Osborne, as the core of the team, ignore the team's record?
He also tried his best to maintain the integrity of the Pistons after he came on the court, he believes that at this time, it is the most suitable time to play team basketball, because it can break out in waves and forcibly take away the game, but unfortunately, Osborne's team basketball also makes his teammates quite embarrassed, they can't play team basketball with Osborne's existence, so the performance in the first half of the fourth quarter is not very reasonable.
At this time, Osborne suddenly realized where his mistakes were, and he could be more successful by being himself, and forcibly changed himself for the sake of flattery, such a combination would not last long, so at the last moment Osborne changed his style of play, and he asked his teammates to help him cover.
As a result, Osborne scored 18 of the Pistons' final 26 points to help the Pistons win a hard-fought 96-93 victory over the Heat. (To be continued.) )
