Chapter 178: The Final Struggle
James saw that there was not much time for the game, and there was really no way out, so James began to use all his strength and give it his all.
He discarded the cowardly side of his heart, and then, taking on the responsibility of being the boss of the team, he began to push in a tank, squeezing Tysian Prince's body, carrying him and rushing inside, and then he passed the ball to Ilgoskas, who received a pass from James and pressed Ben Wallace to press the ball into the basket. The Cavaliers' score and the Pistons' score narrowed to six points left, which can be erased with just two three-pointers.
Osborne saw that James still didn't admit defeat, but also, the current James is just entering the league to play, and his heart is still the character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, although there was a moment of hesitation and sluggishness just now, but the competitive flame in his heart is still burning, but Osborne doesn't care about these, anyway, in the end, it is just a failure, this is just the final futile struggle.
However, having said that, Osborne did not dare to have a trace of slackness, victory still needs to be proved by strength, not by luck to win can be compared, Osborne is also a quick counterattack with the ball all the way to tear the Cavaliers' interior line, but James took the initiative to defend Osborne at this time, which shocked him.
Shocked to shocked, Osborne was not reckless, and observed the distribution of players around him, Osborne suddenly found that the person who was missed by James, Tyxia Ander Prince, was already in a vacant state, and then Osborne pretended to pull out the jump shot directly, but James was not fooled, but just pulled the defensive distance into a lot again. Osborne saw that this trick didn't work for James, so he stopped using superfluous moves. Breaking straight to the inside, James also followed quickly. Osborne was squeezed by James' strong body and could barely stand on his feet.
Osborne actually didn't want to be able to break into the interior under James's defense, he saw that Tysian Prince was completely empty, and then Osborne passed the ball to Prince with a wide range of passes, and Prince received the pass and simply shot a three-point shot, although the three-point shot was not his specialty, but this three-point shot went through the net smoothly.
James didn't expect that all of Osborne's previous actions were to pave the way for Prince's pass, and of course, it could also be because his defense forced Osborne to pass. Obviously, James didn't think it was his own reason, he just thought that Osborne was really good, after all, he was able to do it in such a short time. It's such a long distance again, and it's not easy to do if it's not deliberate.
In this confrontation between Osborne and James, it is impossible to say who lost and who won, if it should be said that Osborne took the initiative to back down and pass the ball to Prince, but from the effect point of view, Osborne achieved his goal and it was not a loss, but in the eyes of Cavaliers fans, Osborne's behavior just now was cowardice. If only Osborne knew what Cavaliers fans thought. He would certainly be dismissive, and there was no need to argue about the purpose had been reached.
However, James knew how difficult those moves were just now, so James didn't dare to underestimate Osborne, and he was also very careful when counterattacking. If the Cavaliers make some more low-level mistakes, they won't stand a chance.
James took a closer look at the position of the people on the field as he took a look. He began to prepare for a breakthrough, and he first broke through to the left. Prince followed closely, and then James quickly took a shot against Prince. And Prince couldn't dodge it before James made a foul, the most important thing was that James's casually thrown ball actually went in. This made Prince very annoyed, if he knew that the ball would go in, he should have hit James hard just now, it was a foul anyway, why should he be so cringe?
James's three-point play is very crucial, if this goal is not scored, it will be another unfavorable situation for the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers are now only five points left with the Pistons, hope is just around the corner, James will definitely not give up, and the audience on the court also cheers for the Cavaliers, and as long as the Pistons get the ball or make free throws, the fans and spectators are doing their best to hinder it, and they can't wait to go on the court to blow up the free throw.
At this time, the pressure is still on the Cavaliers' side, so the Pistons are still not afraid, the advantage is still there, and all Osborne needs to do now is to stall for time, just use up the 24 seconds of offense per round, and then score a few goals.
Osborne's unhurried pretense of being looking for a pass object when he got the ball also made Cavaliers point guard Darius Myers nervous. He didn't know that Osborne would break through in that direction for a while, but the game time passed bit by bit, and Osborne still didn't move, and at this time, the Cavaliers didn't know that Osborn was really a fool if he delayed time.
Darius Myers stepped forward to force Osborne to act, Osborne also saw that the Pistons' offensive time was only five seconds, if he didn't act, there would be no chance for a while, Osborne quickly started to quickly pass Darius Myers, but when he broke into the Cavaliers' interior line, it was even more difficult, at this time there were many people in the restricted area, very crowded, no matter how magical Osborne was, it was impossible to ignore the player's blocking layup, Osborne had no choice but to shoot by himself, Osborne used a throw, Put the basketball in.
James saw Osborne actually use delaying tactics, and immediately knew that the situation on the court was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, James did not hesitate, received the ball and ran directly to the backcourt as fast as possible, he wanted to shoot more goals in the shortest time, James no longer cared about what he was good at and what he was not good at, and he shot three-pointers directly one step away from the three-point line, and the Pistons did not expect James to not rush inside, they couldn't reach it at all, so they could only watch James throw the ball out.
After James scored this shot, he asked the players to use full-court pressing, and not give the Pistons a chance to delay time with delaying tactics. The Cavaliers were instructed by James to pounce on the ball handler like crazy, Chauncey Billups is not afraid of such a chaotic defense, he is a famous rhythm master, and he is the best at using rhythm changes to break through to the basket.
Chauncey Billups accelerated with a crotch dribble, passed Jeff McGinnis, and then when he was about to pass the ball to Osborne, James saw through it, James directly poked the ball off and then picked up the basketball and rode away, and then a domineering tomahawk slam dunk the ball in.
James scored five points in a row to narrow the gap to just one point. (To be continued.) )
