Kobe Bryant won 7-6 over Osborne with a three-pointer in the third quarter, and he was very happy, because he also admitted that Osborne's three-point shot was strong, so he was so happy to beat Osborne, and the Lakers finally overtook the score, and the Lakers led the Pistons by three points at 67-64.

It's hard not to think of Kobe Bryant winning Osborne's three-pointer, but it's obviously a coincidence, but Kobe doesn't think so, and he thinks it's because he won a three-pointer from Osbourne that the Lakers just beat the Pistons by three points.

This embarrassed Osborne for such a coincidence, but he was also determined to wash away all humiliation with victory.

So Osborne said directly to Larry Brown: "Coach, I'm a little tired, can you give me a five-minute rest and wait until the last seven minutes of the game before I play." Then he turned to everyone and said, "You have to keep the status quo for a while, don't let the Lakers lead us too much, I'm really tired and want to take a break, so you have to hold on until I come back and win the game with everyone." ”

After saying that, he walked straight to the locker room, leaving his teammates looking at each other in a mess.

In the last quarter, Osborne really didn't play, he left himself on the bench to think about life, and he was dumbfounded by Osborne's non-play, the Lakers were dumbfounded, is it just because he didn't beat Kobe Bryant in shooting three-pointers, this is also unreasonable, because as we all know, Osborne's willpower is still quite strong, at least he won't give up until the end of the game, so Osborne will definitely have some big conspiracy.

But Osborne was simply a little tired, and he wanted to ask what the system should do next.

So Osborne asked directly on the court: "Sister System, can you help me see how much physical strength potential that Kobe Bryant still has, and by the way, look at everyone's physical strength and potential value." ”

The system directly scanned everyone on the court, and after a while, a database was generated, showing the physical strength of all the personnel on the Lakers, and sure enough, Kobe Bryant is the highest physical strength of the entire Lakers team, and the potential value is also the highest, Kobe Bryant's many potentials have not yet been developed, after all, they have been suppressed by O'Neal.

And players like Karl Malone and Gary Payton have no potential to be tapped, and the physical strength is not as good as it used to be, to be honest, F4 is a mistake, it is better to replace Karl Malone with a beast-type power forward like Ron Artest who can defend and attack, at least it is not easy to get injured, and Gary Payton is okay, but his physical strength is not good, his strength is still just, but his personality is not good, and he always looks down on Kobe Bryant inexplicably, perhaps because he is jealous that Kobe has three championship rings.

Finally, O'Neal, O'Neal is still in his prime, although it is not as terrifying as before, but he still has the strength of a superstar, but his state is not good, sometimes good and sometimes bad, there is no original momentum that blows everything, his physical strength is still a lot, but the potential value is not as big as Kobe Bryant, because he can only decline in the future and has no room to rise, and this year is also his last year with the Lakers, because he fell out with the Lakers management after losing the championship, and the East Tour Heat.

The Pistons are a bit ordinary, and the highest is an All-Star level player, Chauncey Billups Finals MVP, Ben Wallace Best Defensive Player, Taysha Ann Princes first-class assistant defense master, and Richard Hamilton is an All-Star player who can both attack and defend.

After seeing this, Osborne deeply understood that playing basketball is not about whose lineup is terrifying, whose strength is strong on paper, but also depends on the state of all players and the comprehensive strength of the team.

This is also the biggest reason why the Lakers failed in F4, first of all, they underestimated the enemy, and secondly, they were in too poor condition, and they didn't think that the Pistons' defense was so terrifying.

With seven minutes left in the game, the Lakers have already played the classic OK combination, with Karl Malone and Gary Payton both going off the bench and Derrick Fisher as the backup point guard.

Osborne feels that this kind of Lakers team is stronger than the Lakers team who are all present in F4, because they have a very good understanding of playing together for a long time, and Kobe Bryant also likes this rhythm very much, which allows him to play to his speed advantage, and he also provides assists to O'Neal from time to time.

Kobe Bryant's outburst gave the Lakers a glimpse into water, directly overtaking the Pistons and leading the Pistons by 8 points.

Osborne knows that with the current Pistons lineup, they will definitely not be able to do the Lakers' lineup, even without Karl Malone Gary Payton, the Lakers are still a Finals-level team, but the Pistons players have limited talent, and if they don't have a complete team system, it is difficult to do anything.

After nearly five minutes of rest, Osborne's strength finally recovered somewhat, and Osborne asked head coach Larry Brown to play, saying: "Coach Larry, my strength has recovered a lot, and now I need to go on the court and win for the Pistons." ”

Larry Brown didn't expect Osborne to go off the court just because he was tired, and he replied: "Now that you've recovered, let's get on the court, the Pistons are in a bad situation right now, although the defense is doing a good job, but the offense is a big problem." ”

Then Larry Brown took advantage of the dead ball and sent Osborne on the court, Osborne still played small forward, so Osborne's positional advantage still existed, and Osborne had to hurry up to the eight-point difference during this time.

Osborne kept running and desperately shook off Devin George's entanglement, and then he received a pass from Richard Hamilton, Osborne threw the ball directly to Devin George, and then the three-point response went into the net, and Osborne caused damage to the Lakers with his individual ability as soon as he came on the court.

The Pistons were still five points behind, and Kobe Bryant saw that Osborne was still shooting three-pointers, and he felt that something was wrong, so he asked Derrick Fisher to give him the ball, and he also had to shoot to suppress Osborne's counterattack.

Kobe Bryant was very solid this time, he didn't shoot three points, because his three-point shot was also limited, after all, Richard Hamilton's defense was very tight, so he only singled with his back, Kobe Bryant directly resisted Richard Hamilton and then turned around to break through him, Kobe Bryant entered the restricted area, directly came to a mid-range shot, hit it steadily, and the Lakers still led by 7 points.

Osborne wasn't discouraged either, he took advantage of Chauncey Billups' pick-and-roll cover to get the space to shoot and hit another three-pointer to keep the Pistons close, and he hit back-to-back three-pointers to catch the Lakers off guard. (To be continued.) )
