Chapter 42: The Perfect Debut (Part I)

The first person to come out in the NBA is not the most important person on the team, usually the team boss will come out last in the player tunnel.

That's why Osborne was the first to come out and be sneered at by those reporters, but Osborne didn't care about these details, what Osborne needed was playing time and fighting for tactical positions.

If Osborne can play an important role in the team's system, then Osborne will certainly get a decent amount of playing time and possession time, so Osborne's basketball stats will certainly look good.

Although Osborne was sneered at by the reporters of good things, he was warmly welcomed by Pistons fans, and when Osborne came out, he still gave Osborne warm applause and cheers, and Osborne was still very moved at this time.

After Osborne came out, other players also came out one after another, and the four players who came out at the end were Ben Wallace, Tysa Amprins, Chauncey Billups, and Richard Hamilton, I really didn't expect the leading player of this Pistons team to be shooting guard Hamilton. Osborne always thought that the Pistons in the 03~04 season were a team with Chauncey Billups as the core.

After all, Chauncey Billups won the MVP of the 03~04 season finals, it seems that basketball still has to look at the tactical status, and the player with a high tactical status is the boss of the team, but if the Pistons team didn't see it with his own eyes, Osborne really didn't know which player was the core player, maybe the Pistons didn't have a core player, after all, the Pistons' starting five tigers should be regarded as a whole, and no one could do without anyone.

The opposing players came out in front of the Pistons fans boos, but the star Reggie Miller deserved to be a star who experienced the barbaric era of the 90s, and did not take the boos of the Pistons fans seriously at all, and still smiled and greeted the fans, as if he was on his team's home court.

In fact, Reggie Miller is also about to say goodbye to this league that has been fighting for more than ten years, and he is no longer the original enthusiastic young player, but now he has become a cold-blooded killer, as long as the team needs him to contribute, he will definitely fight to the end.

Last season, Reggie Miller and his Indiana Pacers fell in the second round of the playoffs again, and they didn't get a chance to taste the Finals, let alone the championship trophy. God is very unfair to Reggie Miller, because he was shrouded in the shadow of the peak Jordan and the Bulls at his peak, and at the end of his career, he met the Pistons team with a strong style of football, and in the 04~05 season, which is the most promising to win the championship, he was ruined by the Auburn Hills palace incident, it can be said that Ron destroyed Reggie Miller's dream of winning the championship with one punch, Reggie Miller always missed the championship, and finally regretted retiring in sadness and disappointment, and since then the NBA has one more uncrowned king.

In fact, the Pacers are also a team that is not strong offensively, and the Pacers still have the strong basketball style of the 90s, and the style of play is also very strong.

In the 03~04 season, the head coach of the Pacers, Rick Carlisle, is also a coach who pays attention to defensive ability, and the offense of the team in the West is not strong, the most famous is the Spurs, the Spurs' defense at that time can be said to be very dirty, especially Bruce Bowen's famous ankle finisher, so that the score of the entire league that year was not high.

Rick Carlisle is the successor to the previous Smiling Assassin, Isaiah Thomas, and is hell-bent on building his own tactical system.

So according to the strength of the players, we have built a strong defensive counter-attacking system, focusing on defense, and his tenet is, we don't score, as long as I have a little more points than you. However, the effect was surprisingly good, allowing the Pacers to achieve the best NBA record of 61-21 in the regular season in the 03~04 season, and it was the best record in the history of the Pacers. This means that Rick Carlisle is really not a vegetarian. Carlisle then announced his starting position for today's game.

"The starting lineup for this game is starting center Jermaine O'Neal, power forward Ron Artest, small forward Stephen Jackson, scoring guard Reggie Miller, and point guard David Harrison."

After reading the lineup of the Pacers, the commentator on the commentary bench couldn't help but sigh: The strength of the Pacers is strong, not only with enviable starters, but also with a group of powerful bench bandits, which is really powerful, and it can be regarded as giving the old Reggie Miller a hope of winning the championship.

And the other commentator was also very shocked to see the lineup of the Pistons, except for the position of small forward Osborne Michael Jean, the other positions of the Pistons team are also not left behind.

"It seems that today is another defensive battle, even brawl basketball, but I can still watch it, if the fans are ......, not to mention the fans of the Pistons and the Pacers, the fans of these two teams are really wonderful, and can endure the team's iron battles and defensive basketball one after another, if the Lakers fans would have scolded a long time ago. In other words, the outcome of this game is still five or five. ”

"The game finally started, and even though it was a defensive battle, I still liked the sound of the basketball going into the basket rather than listening to the loud noise. Now the Pistons center is known as Big Ben's Ben Ben Ben and the Pacers are known as the Sharks' successor Jermaine O'Neal jump ball, if you want me to say that there are few people who can jump the jump ball to beat Ben Wallace, because the jump ball not only requires bounce, but also the speed and timing of the jump are also important. ”

Sure enough, Jermaine O'Neal didn't jump to win Ben Wallace, the ball belonged to the Pistons, and fell to Tysa Ann Prince's side, and then Prince handed the ball to Chauncy Billups to deal with, and he began to run, Osborne also began to run desperately, you must know that in the regular season, the ball is all controlled by point guard Chancey Billups, if you can't run out of the open position, it is impossible to receive Billups' pass, and the Pistons are not allowed to play too many singles, and you must pass through many passes before you can shoot.

That's the tactical requirement of the Pistons, no one is allowed to break it, and if they can't, they can only sit on the bench.

Opposite Osborne is Stephen Jackson, known as Captain Jack, whose strength should not be underestimated, so Osborne is entangled by him, but Osborne also has a way, which is to speed up, and then use other players to cover and get space to shoot. Osborne really got his teammate Tysha Ann Prince to cover, and then Billups's pass also arrived, Osborne a Kobe-style step-back jumper, and the basketball went into the net, which was a wonderful feeling, and Osborne felt that Kobe's step-back jumper was worthy of an SS-level skill, and it was really easy to add hi.

Osborne took the lead for the Pistons, and then Osborne paid tribute to Prince and Billups for their coverage and passing.
