Chapter 177: Do You Know What Despair Is?
Osborne's three-point success caused a huge repercussion and played a huge role in the morale of the Pistons, and his performance changed the perception of Osborne by others, and it can be said that he raised the expectations of him.
James's envy, jealousy and hatred for Osborne have now reached their peak, and James is very angry at Osborne's noisy behavior. He knows that his style of play is biased towards actual combat, not very suitable for performance, and not so picturesque, but he also knows that his style of play with hard bridges and hard horses will definitely be very popular, after all, the United States likes this kind of sports with strong collision, and the prosperity of American football can be seen, and the preferences of the people.
James feels that only with a more brutal performance can the focus of the home fans and viewers refocus on him, basketball is not only a hobby for James, but also a means of survival, the starting point of all his dream careers must be based on his basketball commercial value, which has been proven by countless basketball predecessors, such as Michael Jordan, who has just retired, he is definitely a model of basketball players.
This is not only from the technical level, but also from the development of basketball commercial value, Jordan created a brand with his own name, which is the envy of countless professional basketball sports, so James also wants to build a business empire of his own, he admires Michael Jordan from the bottom of his heart, he chose to carry the No. 23 jersey, which is also the meaning, and he also vowed to get out of poverty and let his mother live a good life, which is why he is so powerful.
Of course, all of this needs to be built on a lot of accolades and historical super stats, and what James is already lacking in fame is performance.
So James would never let Osborne destroy his ideal foundation. That being said, practical action is still needed. You have to speak with strength.
There were eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, and there was plenty of time. James feels that this time is enough to turn the tables on his own, but this situation still needs to be done alone, blindly pursuing reasonableness, which is not what a star should do, what a star has to do is to use his own strength to overturn the other party.
James is still playing inside the Pistons, he must be fearless, once he doesn't dare to hit the inside, the outside of the Cavaliers will also be locked up, he forced Tysa Amplins step by step to the inside. Then reflexively came an extremely ugly step-back jumper, although it was ugly but it was thrown, it seems that James's basketball has never been proud of being good-looking, but proud of being practical. His two points were relatively easy, and the difference between the Cavaliers and the Pistons was still six points.
The Pistons are also ready to play a counterattack, but the main point of attack on the counterattack is not Osborne, but Chauncey Billups, because in the comparison between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, the Pistons have an absolute advantage on the guard line. So Chauncey Billups is also very eager to show his presence.
Chauncey Billups was not polite and dribbled directly through Cavaliers point guard Jeff McGinnis, who was also powerless for an old rascal like Chauncey Billups. Billups' change of pace makes it difficult to know when he's going to break through and when he's going to shoot. When to pass the ball.
But Billups got it right, and he quickly got past McGinnis. Then he rushed into the inside of the Cavaliers, but he didn't dare to go too deep. Within his own range, he immediately chose to shoot, and the basketball obediently fell into the basket. The Cavaliers vs. Pistons are back to square one.
At this time, the Cavaliers were not in a hurry, in order to prevent mistakes, McGinnis looked at Chauncey Billups cautiously, which gave people a very funny feeling, for fear that others would steal his basketball, McGinnis took the ball over the half court, he no longer stuck to the ball, and passed the ball directly to LeBron James, the pride of the sky, James played not so carefully, he received the ball is a long-distance three-point shot, after the basketball was scored, James also turned around and defended with a blank face, as if the three-point shot was not thrown by him.
Osborne is also puzzled by James's shooting, which makes people puzzled, James's shooting distribution is different to others, his shooting is not scored when it should be, and it is scored when it should not be scored, such as the decisive moment, James's shots are almost all biased, and at the end of a certain quarter, he scored quite a lot, and I don't know how James did it, he likes to score unreasonable shots, but normal three-point shots are often off.
James' three-point shot was very uplifting, and he grabbed the three-pointer to announce that he was back.
However, Osborne just quietly watched James pretend to be there, and he didn't need money anyway, and then Osborne also turned on the pretending mode, after all, the era of three points without saying a word has not yet come, so let James try the power first.
Osborne quickly went down to the three-point line, and then Chauncey Billups did not hesitate, and threw the ball directly to Osborne, Osborne picked up the basketball, and also under James's defense, he threw a picturesque three-point jumper, because the shooting angle was too large, after Osborne finished shooting, he fell directly to the floor, and this time Osborne was dizzy, which was not how hard he fell, mainly because the rebounds at that time were still very hard.
James didn't pay attention to what happened to Osborne, after he finished Osborne's shot, he directly subconsciously rushed to grab the rebound, but he didn't expect Osborne's difficult shot to score.
After that, James attacked four more, and then the Pistons responded with four, anyway, James scored a few, and the Pistons also scored a few, James shot a three-pointer, and the Pistons responded with a three-pointer, so that for nearly five minutes, the difference between the Cavaliers and the Pistons did not change at all.
The behavior of these hooligans of the Pistons made James about to collapse, he didn't expect the Pistons to bully people so much, and the score difference was about to be erased, and the Pistons immediately opened the score difference to the original level.
In the end, James simply stopped attacking, anyway, no matter how many points he scored, the Pistons would also score as many points. It's just a kite-flying tactic in basketball, giving people hope, and when it's about to be reached, breaking hope and making people despair. This is James' state of mind at this time, he feels that no matter how much he struggles and how many nets he breaks through, there is always a net that is still in front of him.
This is probably the feeling of despair, bottomless, this style of play is often used by the Spurs, and the Spurs' style of play is also like that, obviously only leading by four or five points, but he always gives the most powerful counterattack when the opponent scores, and doesn't let you catch up anyway.
If James had known that a phrase would be used often in later generations, he would have asked, "Do you know what despair is?" (To be continued.) )
