Chapter 706 Locking the First Place in the Alliance?

Next, the Pistons players are no longer confined to three-point shots when they attack, and they also improve their offensive speed with the Mavericks, so that the Pistons' offensive speed is about the same as the Mavericks, so the number of shots is about the same, and the Pistons have Osborne's three-point pervert, his shooting speed is very fast, from Chauncey Billups handed him the basketball, to the time he shot the three-pointer, it only took 6 seconds, which is faster than the Mavericks' 7-second offense.

At this moment, the Mavericks and the Pistons are completely caught in a big offensive battle, and the two teams don't think about how to defend, because in fact, they can't defend anyone, so they don't work this piece, so you can see that when Tysha Amplins steals Jason Terry's pass, Osborne and Chauncey Billups quickly formed a three-on-one situation, and then Jason Terry simply didn't chase to save energy.

This happens from time to time, even with the Pistons, when the Mavericks formed a two-on-one, Osborne did not make any other moves, allowing Jerry Starkerhouse to score a two-pointer, so both teams are now only focusing on their own offensive success rate, and not forcing the opponent to score.

Dirk Nowitzki finally played his role as a power forward, repeatedly turning over the Pistons inside, sometimes turning past Rasheed Wallace to score on the board, and sometimes ignoring the Pistons players' defense and throwing three-pointers from the outside.

Osborne, on the other hand, used his quick three-point shooting ability to hit super difficult three-pointers repeatedly, and often interacted with teammates to score some smooth offense, and the offensive efficiency of both teams improved, while the Pistons with Osborne shot more three-pointers, so the Pistons gradually led the Mavericks by 6 points.

This situation was seen by Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson, who immediately called a final timeout and asked Dirk Nowitzki to start playing three-pointers against Osborne, otherwise he couldn't beat the Pistons in this game, and he understood that if he wanted to beat the Pistons, he had to fight them with three-pointers, not defend their three-pointers.

With three minutes left in the game, the Mavericks called a final timeout, deployed a three-point shot against Osborne, and let Dirk Nowitzki use his three-point shooting ability to tie the score.

After the timeout, the Mavericks' defense of Osborne was further strengthened, Osborne's catch-and-shoot became more difficult, he was always under the three-man package, in addition to Jerry Starkhouse, Eric Dampele, Dirk Nowitzki also came over from time to time to block Osborne's offense.

At the same time, Dirk Nowitzki's offense is also playing smoothly, and his three-point shot has increased the number of shots, and he has to shoot these three-pointers whether he gets in or not.

And Dirk Nowitzki's luck is not bad, he has made a lot of three-pointers to help the Mavericks bite the score, while Osborne's side is a little embarrassed, his three-pointers either don't receive the ball, or he is surrounded by a large group of Mavericks, basically there are not many opportunities to shoot.

Seeing Dirk Nowitzki equalize the score, Osborne was very anxious, he felt that if he lost this game, then there would be a general responsibility on him, after all, it was he who dropped the chain at a critical moment.

When there were 39 seconds left in the game, Dirk Nowitzki hit a three-pointer again to help the Mavericks achieve a rebound, leading the Pistons by one point at 108:107, Osborne had no choice, he couldn't receive the ball at all, at this time I saw Tysha Amplins stand up, he motioned to Chaunci Billups to hand him the basketball, and then when he used the Mavericks' attention on Oss himself, he quickly broke through the Mavericks' defense and scored an easy layup, at this time there were 25 seconds left in the game, It stands to reason that there are still two offensive opportunities, and at this time the Pistons' defenders also began to act, and they also followed the same example, frantically wrapping Dirk Nowitzki to prevent him from having a chance to catch the ball and shoot.

Dirk Nowitzki also had no way, Jason Terry also quickly passed the basketball to the young Devin Harris, after Devin Harris received the basketball, his side was open, and Taysha Amplins was also quick-sighted and quickly ran over to make up for the defense, Devin Harris was not in a hurry, a feint shook Tysa Amprins, and then broke through and handed the basketball to Dirk Nowitzki, and quickly helped Dirk Nowitzki block and cover, Dirk Nowitzki received the basketball and withdrew to the three-point line, Hit a three-pointer directly, the Pistons were desperate for this three-point shot, at this time the Mavericks led the Pistons by two points at 111-109, and there were only 7 seconds left in the game, which was enough for the Pistons to attack once, and they were afraid that Osborne would not be able to catch the basketball.

So Osborne's also hurriedly let Ben Wallace serve, Ben Wallace sent the basketball to Chauncy Billups, Osborne was also more active at this time, he used the speed of a quarter to get rid of Dirk Nowitzki, but he couldn't get rid of the other defenders of the Mavericks, Rasheed Wallace helped Osborne block and cover, Osborne still has at least one defender by his side, so that it is very difficult for Osborne to receive the ball.

At this time, it was time to test the tacit understanding between Osborne and the other players of the Pistons, Chaunci Billups and Rasheed Wallace, Osborne reached an agreement between the three, Chaunci Billups broke through to the right, Osborne ran back from left to right, Rasheed Wallace blocked and covered in the middle, Osborne and Chaunci Billups finally met together, Chaunci Billups handed the basketball to Osborn, and then also made a block and cover posture, Osborne adjusted slightly, He stepped back to the three-point line and pulled out his shot, and the moment he made his shot, the game time ran out and his basketball went to the basket.

After the Mavericks were killed, the Pistons ushered in a wave of easier schedules, challenging the Trail Blazers away and facing the 76ers at home, these teams are easier to play, it seems that the Pistons can properly get the 65th win, but the next third game is to challenge the Spurs away, which is a little uncomfortable, after all, the home of the Spurs is also one of the famous devil's home courts, the devil's home here is not to say how many people he has on the spot, but his Spurs' home court is difficult to be attacked, Their win rate at home is too high.

But this is not something he should think about now, he just needs to rest well, after all, after winning the 65th win, the Pistons will basically lock up the first place in the league, and they will lock the playoffs in advance, which is the most important thing, so that no matter which team they play against in the future, the Pistons will have home-court advantage.
