Chapter 69: The Pistons' Worries
Ricky Davis is very annoyed by Osborne's defensive style, Davis kind of hates physical contact, and there is a serious problem, if something is about to reach Davis's eyes, it will have a strong sense of mental pressure and discomfort for Davis.
So the next Ricky Davis tragedy, under Osborne's shameless defensive style, Davis's shooting percentage was very poor, which made Davis furious.
"I think you're such a dirty player, on the surface, but in fact you're an unscrupulous guy to get there, and if it weren't for my visual oppression, your defense would be nothing."
"The black cat and the white cat catch the mouse is a good cat, and besides, you have brushed enough in the first section, almost scrapped me, and the following is my brushing time, you have to be careful." After saying that, he ignored Davis and walked directly to the other teammates of the Pistons, ready to defend and counterattack.
Davis suffered, but Osborne had a good time.
Osborne seized the opportunity to shoot a few three-pointers and brushed a few assists, and Osborne's assist data easily reached 10, such data is simply super data in the eyes of uninformed people, but people with a heart can find that Osborne's is indeed brushing data, Osborne's passing selection is very good, but a few balls can be thrown by themselves, but Osborne is not biased, and has to pass to Ben Wallace.
Osborne's actions made some people scoff, but Osborne enjoyed it. And other Pistons fans are very tolerant and generous, as long as the team wins, anyone can brush the data.
"OMG was about to start working hard, and the Pistons turned the tide in an instant and became the leader."
Osborne knew that his assist stats were finally completed through instant messaging, scoring only 13 points, and completing a triple-double with four rebounds to complete.
Osborne worked so hard to score points in fact, there is another purpose, that is, to establish a position in the team, the current Pistons are far from the best state, one of the reasons is Osborne's defensive colander, at the beginning Osborne can still enjoy the help of the Pistons system with peace of mind, but Osborne knows that Larry Brown has long been interested in strengthening the team's lineup through trades, and the Pistons do not have few players with trade value, and if they want to achieve their goals, they have to use a dark box operation to complete the task with a robbery transaction.
Therefore, Osborne must establish his position on the team as soon as possible, otherwise when the Pistons' starting five are gathered, Osborne will have to play as a substitute. For a longer-term plan, Osborne first established himself in the Pistons, and wanted to accept a few younger brothers by the way, but Osborne's luck was a little poor, most of the team was older than him, and the two rookies who entered the Pistons with him, one was directly sent to the Development League, and the other was a top show.
Anyway, Osborne hates this feeling very much, he is a person who naturally feels good about himself, he does not want to be subservient to others, he would rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow, and he must be the boss in any environment.
Osborne's offense now goes beyond catch-and-shoot jumpers, sometimes scoring layups inside the perimeter, sometimes catching jumpers through cover, and sometimes making brilliant passes. These caught Davis off guard, and Davis was not only guarded by Osborne, but also often caught in the bag, and his shooting percentage was miserable. With the help of his teammates' coverage and cooperation, Osborne's shooting rate was not bad, his score soared to 20 points in an instant, and his assists also came to 12, and the rebounds did not change much, only 7 rebounds, only one improvement from the original.
However, even if it was not perfect, Osborne's offensive efficiency was very high, and the advantage established by the Celtics in the first quarter was wiped out in an instant.
"Now you know how good I am, you fell before I could do anything." Osborne teased Ricky Davis.
"You don't have to be complacent, I'll let you know how good I am in a while, you're just a clown who relies on the Pistons team system, and you're definitely not my opponent alone." Ricky Davis retorted.
"You know why basketball is a five-player or even fifteen-player sport, rather than just one, just to prevent a cancer like yours. If you continue to do this, I think your basketball career will end here. Osborne said in a tone of instruction.
"How about me, I don't need you to be a rookie to teach me a lesson, and I don't think you have any status in the Pistons, your appearance has made many team bigwigs become defensive blue-collar, and I think your Pistons team is going to fall apart in the internal contradictions of the team. You end up either being ostracized or being traded. ”
I have to admit that although Davis's words are sharp, Osborne's current situation is becoming more and more critical, Osborne's strength is improving so fast that even head coach Larry Brown is unprepared, and the team's hidden worries may become a reality in advance. The wood is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it, and Osborne is such a crazy tree.
However, Osborne has no scruples, as long as he can win the favor of the manager, as long as he quickly gains a more favorable tactical position, Osborne does not need to worry about anything else. The main thing is that the Pistons did not have a clear tactical core, and in the end, they barely established a pattern with Richard Hamilton as the core of the team and Chauncey Billups as the team leader.
This is also Osborne's current living environment, if Osborne can get the position of the Pistons team leader, Osborne may not change teams frequently. After all, the Pistons are a championship-level team this year and next year, and the appeal of the Pistons is very marketable for the foreseeable future.
The other Pistons players hated and loved Osborne, and they all admitted that the rookie was very good and improved quickly, but Osborne's presence also threatened the stability and unity of the team.
Larry Brown saw that the team played the advantage in an instant, and immediately suspected that someone in the team had swiped the data in the first quarter of the game, and knew that there were only two kinds of players who needed to brush the data, one was the rookie of the team who urgently needed to prove himself, and the other was the player who urgently needed to sign a big contract.
Larry Brown feels that the team's current situation is very abnormal, as long as it can win, Osborne's data brushing behavior can still be accepted, once the team loses a few games in a row, the team will immediately have contradictions, this is the survival law of the NBA league, victory can cover everything.
The NBA is a league of data brushes, it is a vanity fair, everyone has ambitions, they all have certain abilities, there is never a shortage of geniuses, and there are always people who stand out.
