Chapter 533: Osborne is injured
Bruce Bowen who followed Osborne himself was very angry, he was just a little careless and was caught off guard by Osborne, it seems that Osborne really hasn't seen his own defense?
So then you can see Osborne and Bruce Bowen's wrestling defense, Osborne hates Bruce Bowen so much, Osborne still wants to solve the battle with a breakthrough layup, but then it's not so easy, first of all, Bruce Bowen is also serious, but break through the past, but when you break through, Bruce Bowen will also use some small actions to slow down your speed, such as pulling the jersey to pull people, or pushing you, so that you stumble when you break through, and can't find a sense of rhythm.

Anyway, Osborne scored in a stumble at the end of the second quarter.
At halftime, the Pistons still maintained their lead, leading the Spurs by eight points at 67:59, while Osborne scored sharply in the second quarter, after all, his three-point shot was limited by Bruce Bowen, and he also stumbled on a breakaway shot, so he only scored eight points in the last five minutes of the second quarter.
But even so, Osborne scored 35 points in less than two quarters and has a good chance of setting a new Finals scoring record today.
The current situation is very favorable to the Pistons, and Osborne also feels that if he does not break the all-time Finals scoring record today, he will be sorry for his hot hand and the expectations of the fans.
Just when Osborne fell into a fantasy, Larry Brown directly told Osborne to break the game in the third quarter and let Tysian Prince play the game, this time Osborne was anxious, "Coach Larry, the situation is very favorable to us now, why not take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Spurs in one fell swoop?" ”
"Nonsense, you don't see the Spurs players who want to eat you, and you look at Bruce Bowen this guy is definitely ill-intentioned, so for your safety, you must rest well and try to avoid those dangerous factors."
After listening to Larry Brown's words, Osborne also saw Bruce Bowen's lewd expression, Osborne had to agree to stay on the bench for a while, and he also hoped that the Pistons would not play too well, because if the Pistons players played too well, he would not have a chance to play the following games.
Perhaps his wish came true, and in the third quarter of the game, the Pistons were unable to withstand the Spurs' comeback frenzy, and Tim Duncan, Manuginobili, and Tony Parker teamed up to launch a counterattack.
During this period of time, the Spurs shot how to have, the Pistons' defense had little effect, Taysha Ann Prince made several steals but was also blown foul by the referee, and the Spurs completed the overtake of the Pistons in just four minutes, leading the Pistons by 4 points at 76:72.
Larry Brown was shocked to see such a poor performance by the Pistons players, and he didn't think that the defensive roster he had polished for a season would be useless in the Finals. It was also used by the Spurs to become the target of chasing points.
Larry Brown had no choice but to call a timeout, called Osborne over and said, "Osborne, it seems that you can't play anymore, the performance of these guys is simply disappointing to me, and it took me a season to polish this lineup." ”
Osborne knows that Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, and Tysa Ann Prince are the Pistons' starting five giants in the league, and today I just had some aberrations.
"Coach Larry, you don't have to be too upset, it's definitely not common today, and I can guarantee that this lineup will keep the Pistons super competitive for two to three years, so please trust them and trust us to bring you a championship."
Larry Brown just sighed with emotion, but after being lectured by Osborne, he immediately regained his composure and said: "You kid has taught me a lesson, I can tell you, you must be careful of this guy Bruce Bowen, this guy specializes in ruining people's ankles, if you accidentally get injured, I will ask you for my championship." ”
Larry Brown also knew that he was a little hypocritical just now, after all, no matter how powerful the team is, there are times when they take a nap, even the peak Bulls, who have won two consecutive championships, cannot sweep their opponents, let alone the Pistons who are still on the rise.
After the timeout, Osborne replaced Richard Hamilton as small forward again, and this time Bruce Bowen had to play opposite Tysian Princes.
At the beginning of the game, Osborne faced Robert Horry and threw a three-pointer to stop the bleeding for the Pistons, and then the Pistons worked together to prevent the Spurs' offense.
Then the Spurs also called a timeout, this time the Spurs arranged tactics were all aimed at Osborne, using Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen to contain Osborne, and asked them to watch Osborne well no matter where Osborne is.
After the pause, Osborne really couldn't move, even if there was a teammate's blocking and dismantling cover, he did not escape the fate of being trapped, the Spurs' counterattack tide was very ferocious, Osborne didn't care if anyone was trapped, he received the basketball is a shot, and finally once when Osborne grabbed a three-point shot, Osborne stepped directly on Robert Horry's feet, and Osborne felt his ankle slam suddenly, and Osborne didn't care if the ball was thrown.
He sat on the ground and thought to himself that this was over, without himself, would the Pistons still lose seven games like before, how could he endure such a thing?
The game entered the injury time, Osborne limped to the bench, and then explained to Larry Brown that he was fine, but Larry Brown didn't believe Osborne's words, he felt that it was enough for Osborne to miss the next schedule.
However, Osborne still smiled and said to everyone: "Don't be discouraged, you are a strong team, even without me, you would have won the cup last season, so don't worry about me, and I think without me, your defense is sharper." ”
Larry Brown didn't want to listen to anything else, he just wanted to hear the news that Osborne's ankle was fine, and even if he couldn't win the championship this season, next season, next season, he was still confident that he could make it to the finals and win the championship.
Larry Brown said calmly: "Osborne, the next is to be handed over to us, you can recuperate in peace." ”
Then Osborne helped the paramedic into the locker room to take care of it. (To be continued.) )
