Chapter 651: Three-point explosion
Larry Brown was a little annoyed by the Knicks scoring so many points, after all, the Knicks are the league's No. 1 team, and there is no need to let the Pistons beat the Knicks, but the performance of the Knicks makes the Pistons' league-wide top defensive brand a little undeserved, but the Pistons have worked hard in the past ten days, and he has let go of the mustard in his heart, so at the end of the first quarter, he said: "In the next game, I don't require you to defend according to the standards of the finals, But I just like that you can win this game and we can go back after this game, so you can play freely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Larry Brown's words encouraged the Pistons players, especially Osborne, who felt he could accomplish a small goal today, such as scoring 100 points first, and he felt that being able to accomplish this feat in the basketball mecca of Madison Arena would certainly be more impactful than Wilt Chamberlain's.
Osborne said this to his teammates, and the Pistons players were also very willing to cooperate, Chauncey Billups said: "Osborne, this is not a joke, you are sure you have the physical strength to play for such a long time, and with our strength, it is very easy to beat the Knicks, you are sure you can still go up and score points." ”
In response to Chaunsibilups's question, Osborne replied: "Don't worry, I have enough physical strength to support these four quarters of the game, and have you seen the situation of the Knicks, their defense is like paper paste, I want to score is simply a probe, and in order to achieve this goal, I will also play to score points, after all, such an opportunity is rare, isn't the basketball emperor Wilt Chamberlain also relying on scoring points?" In fact, with such a high score, it is impossible for you to say that you don't brush it at all, and most of the high scores have to be deliberately brushed. ”
Osborne's explanation is reasonable, and the Pistons players seem to agree, but now that the first quarter of the game has been played, Osborne has only scored 20 points, and he must score 80 points in the next three quarters to be able to score 100 points, so he will be at least 27+ to complete this feat.
However, for Osborne, it is also very simple, as long as he has enough balls, he can shoot an average of 9 three-pointers per game, so it seems that this small goal of 100 points is not difficult to achieve.
Ben Wallace said: "Osborne, you can rest assured, and then the rebounds will be handed over to us, and you can shoot as many three-pointers as possible, and if you can't shoot, we will give you rebounds." ”
Ben Wallace's words, the others also agreed, after all, they are now physically exhausted, a little tired, and they don't have much heart to attack on their own, with Osborne to do the work, they are quite willing.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Osborne entered the state, Stephen Marbury wanted to hold the ball and beat him alone, Osborne broke the basketball directly to him when Stephen Marbury broke through, Osborne picked up the basketball and ran all the way, Osborne was flat in front, but he didn't choose to dunk, just ran to the halfcourt and threw the basketball out, people who don't know thought the game was about to end.
After Osborne finished shooting the three-point shot, he turned around and returned to the defense without looking, and Marbury was facing him, and Marbury couldn't understand why Osborne shot in this way, did he want to show off his three-point stunt?
In fact, he didn't understand it, who would have thought that Osborne would want to score 100 points in this game.
The other players of the Knicks also felt that Osborne's way of playing was too arrogant, and they were very indignant, and then Stephen Marbury also learned to shoot three-pointers directly, after all, he has the best scoring ability in this lineup, and his shooting this time went in, after all, he has mixed rice in the league and has good projection ability, but he hasn't been happy for a while.
Osborne still ignores his defense and shoots three-pointers directly, and now Osborne is very persistent about three-point shots, shooting three-pointers when he has the opportunity, and shooting three-pointers if he doesn't have a chance, so Osborne is unstoppable, no matter how hard Stephen Marbury tries to defend, Osborne is easy to shoot three-pointers, and Osborne's shooting distance is becoming more and more difficult to figure out, and even if you defend, he will shake you off with a change of rhythm, and then continue to shoot three-pointers, At this time, Osborne is like Stephen Curry and Ray Allen possessed, basically no one can block the three-point shot, even if you go to cover him, he can also use the pick-and-roll cover to shoot.
And the Knicks haven't formed such an idea yet, after all, the second quarter of the game has just begun, but as time goes by, Osborne's three-pointers are getting more and more, and Stephen Marbury gradually feels what desperation is, no matter how hard he tries, there is no way to stop Osborne from shooting three-pointers, he doesn't know how many three-pointers Osborne has made in his head, he just knows that there are many.
Osborne rained three-point rain in the second quarter of the game, Osborne's three-point shot was very cool, basically the Pistons had the ball in his hands, and when the Pistons attacked, even if Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound, they would pass the basketball to Osborne again, and Osborne was so unscrupulous to shoot three-pointers.
In fact, Osborne didn't know how many three-pointers he shot, after all, because of his relationship, the game was fast-paced, and he couldn't remember how many three-pointers he shot, anyway, there were many, and the second quarter of the game was very fast.
The second quarter became a one-man performance for Osborne, and the Knicks' performance was not as eye-catching as Osborne's alone, and after Osborne hit the last three-pointer of the second quarter again, the halftime was over, and Marbury was about to collapse.
It wasn't until Osborne himself came down that he saw his results in the statistics area, he took 18 shots in the second quarter, hit 13 three-pointers, and scored 39 points in a single quarter, plus 20 points in the first quarter, Osborne scored a terrifying 59 points in the first half, such data is really shocking.
But Osborne is still very calm, he knows that he has made a lot of three-pointers, but he can't remember exactly how many, and he is relieved to see that there are 13 three-pointers, and at this pace, he may be able to accomplish this small goal.
Of course, the Knicks' second quarter game was not bad, but compared to the Pistons' super offensive power of 45 points in a single quarter, their 30-point score in a single game is nothing, and the Pistons led the Knicks by 19 points at 78:59.
Osborne's scoring alone is just equal to the score of a Knicks first-team player, and this scoring ability really collapses the opponent, and Stephen Marbury seems to know what Osborne is going to do.
