Chapter 402: The Strength of the Defending Champion
As soon as the Pistons' big win over the Rockets ended, reporters surrounded the Pistons players for interviews, and Coach Osborne and Larry Brown were of course the main objects of care for the reporters. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Osborne was also very happy to be interviewed by reporters, and he was also familiar with some aspects.
"First of all, congratulations to Osborne, what do you think about your ring presentation ceremony just before the game?"
Osborne knows that the current reporter is still quite kind, because he is a successful person, a winner, everything he says is right, everything is right, everything is right, everything is right, so he speaks quite bluntly, "I don't have any special thoughts, just a little surprised, wow, it turns out that the championship ring looks like this, and the rest is full of happiness and pride." ”
Hearing Osborne's words, the reporter also laughed, and then asked, "Then how many points do you rate for your first game, and how many points do you rate for each other?" ”
"This problem is obvious, the strength of the Pistons team is obviously superior, and the lineup configuration is not comparable to the Rockets, not to mention that our on-court performance is very good, if the full score is 10, I give the Pistons team a score of 8, in fact, a score of 9, 10 points is not impossible, but one more point is afraid that we are proud, and two more points are afraid that people will say that I am boasting. And the Rockets can be a good opponent, but that's all, so I'm giving them a five, after all, they can go five to five against any team in the league. ”
The reporter did not feel surprised when he heard Osborne's arrogant words, which is the reason why Osborne has been high-profile for a long time, after all, Osborne's arrogance has transformed into a symbol of strength, so when he said these words again, everyone did not think that he was talking big, but would think that he was prepared to say so.
So the reporter then asked, "Osborne, what do you think is the biggest change for the Pistons this year that will make you so confident about touting your team." ”
Osborne listened to the reporter's question and said: "Of course there are changes, first of all, we are the defending champions, with the addition of the championship, our strength will definitely improve, and there is my personal growth, in order to help the Pistons successfully defend the title, I practiced special training for a long time in the summer, and my tacit understanding with my teammates has become more proficient, all in all, the Pistons are stronger than before, after all, the Lakers, the most intimidating team in the league last season, have been disbanded, I can't think of any team that could pose a threat to the Pistons. ”
Osborne's confident words, as if they have already booked the championship of the 04~05 season?
But Osborne's words are not finished: "My goal this season is not only the championship, the championship MVP, my goal is also the regular season MVP, in short, I want to win all the awards that the players can get." ”
Although the reporter did not doubt Osborne's words at all, he still couldn't accept Osborne's strength, but Osborne seemed to be used to being strong, and he fought back mercilessly for those who dared to challenge him, and after the victory, he stepped on his body and said proudly, this is the end of offending me.
This reporter with a strong sense of justice couldn't stand Osborne's arrogance, and after the interview was hurriedly, he directly said thank you and ended the interview, which made Osborne very depressed. Having despised the reporter in his heart, Osborne went back to the locker room to change.
However, most of the players of the Pistons team showed their faces fiercely today, as long as they were members of the previous championship, the players who remained on the Pistons team were more or less interviewed by reporters, so today is completely the time of the Pistons, and the Pistons also lived up to expectations and defeated the visiting Rockets.
Osborne alone cut 48 points, 3 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block of all-around statistics, the others scored very evenly, but each had their own characteristics, Chauncey Billups scored 10 points and 11 assists, Richard Hamilton scored 19 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds, Rasheed Wallace scored 9 points and 13 rebounds, Ben Wallace scored 5 points and 11 rebounds, the Pistons gave most of the rebounds to two Wallace, and Tysha Ann Prince came off the bench to score 8 points and 5 steals.
And the reason why the Pistons have such a comprehensive performance is all because of everyone's sincere cooperation, no one else has much ambition, just thinking about being able to win the championship, as for who is the MVP, FMVP They don't care, it is because of this mentality that Osborne can be like a fish in water in the Pistons, can not only cut high scores, but also lead the team to play a record.
The two main players of the Rockets also scored super data, Da Yao played 39 minutes and scored 29 points, 21 rebounds and 3 assists with super double-double data, and Maddy also performed eye-catching and scored 36 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal, but the other players of the Rockets did not give them enough support.
The first game of the new season of the Pistons is so good, wonderful people are full of expectations for the Pistons, major media have also reported on the new changes and new tactics of the Pistons, everyone has also made a deep and detailed interpretation of the Pistons' first win, and they all feel that the Pistons are no longer a purely defensive team, after Osborne became the team's new trump card, the Pistons have become a team with super offensive power.
When the reporter who interviewed Osborne sent his interview conversation, people no longer fiercely criticized and questioned Osborne's words, and many people praised Osborne for his ambition, confidence, and courage to take responsibility.
The general managers and head coaches of other teams are also very distressed by the strong performance of the Pistons, especially the teams that want to make a difference this season, such as the Spurs, Timberwolves, Pacers, Nets and other big teams, they are uncomfortable at the thought of having a super team like the Pistons in front of them.
The Pistons players who got the first win are still not very satisfied, or not too enjoyable, Larry Brown also thinks that the Pistons are now in high morale and can fight to the end, so the Pistons took advantage of this momentum and won the Raptors, 76ers, Clippers, and strong opponents in one fell swoop, and won the first few games of the new season, winning four consecutive wins.
Among them, Osborne's performance is very outstanding, these four games are like his personal exhibition games, against the Raptors cut 41 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, if the Raptors did not surrender too early, maybe Osborne would have to get a triple-double again, against the 76ers, he and Allen Iverson scored against Biao Osborne easily cut 51 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and Allen Iverson was not inferior to score 49 points, the two teams will meet anyway, so Osborne and Allen Iverson are also on the bar.
In the game against the Clippers, because the Clippers did not have any superstars, only the captain Elton Brand performed well, scoring a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, but the team was blown up by the Pistons, and finally the Pistons defeated the Clippers 113-93, and Osborne easily cut 29 points, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
All of this shows that the strength of the Pistons is not as simple as words, but shows a strong momentum that sweeps everything. (To be continued.) )
