O'Neill, a big living treasure, was also angry, and when he saw that little guy from Osborne so eye-catching, O'Neill was a little jealous.

Today's protagonist is the Lakers, not the Pistons, and O'Neal is the hottest big center in the league today, one of the four major centers in the NBA. So O'Neill felt offended.

O'Neal directly reached out for the ball and wanted to single-handedly play Pistons center Memiteoku, Gary Payton still agreed with O'Neal and passed the ball directly to O'Neal.

Although O'Neal was slow on his feet and overweight, O'Neal's back play was still an unsolvable move, O'Neal shook his shoulders from side to side, carried Memet Oku to have enough room to shoot, and a small hook easily threw the ball into the basket.

Osborne saw that although O'Neill was getting older, he was still the unstoppable nimble fat man. No wonder it was targeted and developed a shark-cutting tactic, but fortunately O'Neal's free throws were not good, otherwise the earthlings would not have been able to stop this nimble fat man.

However, the Pistons also have the existence of a single defense against O'Neal, that is, Ben Wallace, known as Big Ben, although Ben Wallace is not as big as O'Neal, but his whole body is muscular, his strength is explosive, and his bench press power is more terrifying than O'Neal's, and Ben Wallace is keen to defend the opponent's ace player.

However, Ben Wallace is not yet to the point where he needs to defend O'Neal, because the Pistons still lead the Lakers by 11 points, so there is no need to rush.

The Pistons, for their part, continued their own style of team basketball, Chauncey Billups controlled the ball, responsible for organizing the basketball operation, passing the ball to players in the open space. So every player on the Pistons team is desperately trying to run out of the open spot, which makes the Lakers miserable.

Especially the two guys, O'Neill and Carl Malone. O'Neill is too fat to run fast, and Carl Malone is too old to run.

However, Kobe Bryant adjusted himself and shot a few three-pointers from time to time, but the shooting rate was not too high, after all, Kobe's shooting rate has always been Kobe's black spot. Crazy shots and shooting percentage have always been the reason for Kobe's low efficiency, and it is also the reason why Kobe Bryant has more shots.

The current Kobe Bryant is not the boss of the team, and he does not have unlimited firing rights. At this time, Kobe Bryant and Osborne still have a lot of similarities, neither of them is the team's first choice, nor does they have unlimited firing rights, they are just killers of the team at critical moments. And at this time, O'Neal turned on the personal slaughter mode, specifically against the Pistons center Memet Oku, and scored 10 points in a row on the head of this tragic Oku, narrowing the difference to a single-digit 3 points in one fell swoop.

At this time, O'Neill was like a killing god, unstoppable. It seems that as long as O'Neill gets serious, he still has the dominance of the court.

Larry Brown, the head coach of the Pistons off the court, saw that Memet Oku was abused like a dog by O'Neal, and he couldn't bear it, so he took a timeout. decided to strengthen the defense and replace the players with weak defense, which of course includes Osborne, Osborne is still an offensive player, and the defense is average, for a player like Kobe, it basically has no effect.

Osborne's stats at this time are still very beautiful, 38 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds, which is incredible in a team like the Pistons, if it weren't for Osborne's 100% shooting rate, Larry Brown would have replaced Osborne a long time ago. Just took advantage of this timeout to let Osborne come down to rest and send a stronger lineup.

Larry Brown didn't want to see O'Neal continue to be in a pretentious position, so he decided to send the Pistons' strongest lineup. Center Ben Wallace mainly defends O'Neal, the big forward is Elden Campbell who has a better defense, the small forward is the little prince who defends Kobe Bryant as the Iron God, Tayxia Amplins, the point guard is still Chauncey Billups, and the scoring guard is Richard Hamilton.

Osborne took a fixed look, except for the position of the power forward, which is not Rashid Wallace, the Pistons starting five have gathered four, no wonder, head coach Larry Brown will replace me, so that the Pistons have both offense and defense, at least there are no defensive holes.

Osborne took the opportunity to see how the Pistons played.

After returning from a timeout, the Pistons and Lakers are the strongest lineups, and the momentum is constantly surging.

The ball is owned by the Pistons, and it is George Lynch, who is not very offensive and the ball is served. Handed the ball to point guard Chancey Billups, Billups is a big heart player, he controls the rhythm, signals his teammates to run, opposite him is Gary Payton, Gary Payton hurriedly stepped forward to defend closely, but this is of little use to Billups, you must know that Billups is the kind of traditional point guard, the primary purpose is to pass the ball, and his own scoring is secondary. So as long as the Pistons have someone running out of the open space, he can always pass the ball to the right person.

It was Richard Hamilton who used Prince's cover to shake off Kobe Bryant and run out of the open space, and Billups' pass came as promised. Hamilton made a three-pointer from an open position, and the basketball went in.

Osborne felt that this kind of coordination, and not dragging the water in the slightest, this kind of basketball is the basketball style he needs. Save your physical strength and shooting time to the greatest extent.

The Lakers were led by O'Neal, but Larry Brown really chose the famous shark-cutting tactic in the NBA, and O'Neal lived up to expectations by only scoring two free throws. The margin gradually widened to double digits, and the third quarter was over, with the Lakers trailing the Pistons by 11 points at 72-83 and entering the fourth quarter.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson just took advantage of the break to replace O'Neal to rest and handed over the main target to Kobe Bryant. At the critical moment, Kobe Bryant still has to come, and Kobe Bryant will not give up the pursuit of victory for any reason.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Pistons saw O'Neal go down, and Larry Brown decided to train the newcomers and adjust the lineup, center Daco Milicic, small forward Tysha Ann Princes, scoring guard Osborne Michael Jean, point guard Lynch Hunter, and power forward Darwin Ham, such a rotating lineup.

After the game started, Kobe Bryant was furious when he saw that the Pistons looked down on him so much that they only sent a bench lineup to play the fourth quarter of the game. Then Kobe Bryant made crazy shots in the following game, and the shooting rate was not bad, and the difference was suddenly narrowed a lot, and Pistons head coach Larry Brown didn't care, using Prince to defend Kobe, Osbourne and Milicic to attack. The effect is not bad, the linkage between Osborne and Milicic is very deterrent, and without O'Neal's Lakers, no one can guard against Milicic.

Osborne took over the task of point guard, using his wonderful passing skills to pass several good balls to Milicic, who also lived up to expectations, and exploded again and again, and the atmosphere was detonated. Larry Brown is still very happy with Osborne's connection with Milicic.

However, he also knows that the Pistons still have a long way to go, and the short-term lineup still needs a run-in period, which is not achieved overnight.
