Osborne returned home to recuperate after his regular morning training, which was very hard but also very effective.

After eating at noon, I took a nap, and then at two o'clock in the afternoon, Osborne sweated in his indoor gym again, not to mention that Osborne's life is boring, superstars are so hardworking, no superstar can succeed casually, they all have to pay the price and work hard.

The northern hemisphere in winter gets dark very quickly, and the whole city is a little gray after about half past five, and then Osborne goes to dinner, and after dinner, Osborne begins to have his own entertainment time, but Osborne does not go out, to a certain extent, Osborne is a standard otaku, there is no need to absolutely never go out.

So Osborne started reading some books, then watching some news, and by half past ten Osborne was asked to rest.

Finally, on December 7th, Osborne got up early to meet his teammates, and Larry Brown was surprised to see Osborne come so early, quipping: "The sun came out in the west today, and Osborne, who has always been the last to come, was not the last to come, which is really unexpected." ”

Osborne saw that he had come so early, and that he was not the first one, Chauncey Billups and Taysha Ann Prince had already arrived. He replied very modestly: "I'm too early, the captain still has his good base. Didn't you come before me? Am I getting too excited? I want to see the sights of Texas, that's why I woke up so early, don't get me wrong. I don't have any other reason. ”

The more Osborne said that, the more skeptical people became. In particular, the players who came after Osborne also looked surprised. But it was all ignored by Osborne.

Finally waited until the players arrived, this time the Pistons assistant also broke the cost to book a charter flight for all the Pistons team, in fact, NBA teams rarely take charter flights, first of all, it is not safe, after all, there has been a criminal record, in previous league games, due to the urgency of the crew, so that the entire league shook the plane incident, all team personnel and assistants. The head coach was so engulfed by the crash that NBA teams have always stayed away from airplanes.

Secondly, the highway system of the United States is very developed, traversing the entire North American continent, so the speed is very fast, and it is generally safe and economical to make team buses. However, this time, because the distance is too far, the Great Lakes and Texas are simply a rectangular diagonal point, so the team bus is really embarrassed. Maybe it's going to take a long time? So I had to take a plane.

Finally, the management of the team will not be stingy with money in order to meet the requirements of the manager and the team because of the team's super record.

Finally, after more than five hours of trekking. The entire Pistons came to Texas, the largest state in the United States and one of the younger states. Moreover, the folk customs are fierce, and the cowboy culture is prevalent. So the NBA teams here are all related to cattle and horses, such as the Spurs. The two teams of the Mavericks are both related to cattle and horses, and only the Rockets are different from them, why is this? The reason is obvious, Houston is one of the famous space launch bases of the United States, and one of the usual hobbies of the residents here is watching space launches, which is basically not seen in other states.

Therefore, the Rocket Team got its name from this, which shows how much people here love aerospace and are full of pride.

Since the Rockets selected the champion from the ancient country across the Pacific, the team's record has gradually improved, back to the playoff stage, and you don't have to ask why the fans here are so excited about the Rockets returning to the playoffs, this is because the Houston people have inherited the heroic and good fighting of the Texas people, and they have a strong sense of competition.

Night fell a little late here, but by half-past seven, the night was inevitably coming, and in preparation for the game, Osborne saw the enthusiastic Houston fan crowd, their expressions of enthusiasm for dancing, and all kinds of difficult acrobatics.

After the performance, the game is close to starting, and then it is the time for the players to enter the field, and the DJ on the scene also used the warmest shouts to shout out the names of the players, Yao Da is in the penultimate appearance, which means that Da Yao is the second leader of the team, and the last one to appear is the famous Fu boss Steve Francis.

After the warm-up, the game was announced, and the Rockets' lineup: center Da Yao, power forward Kevin Cato, small forward Jim Jackson, scoring guard Cardino Mobley, point guard Steve Francis. And the lineup on the Pistons' side is still known as the starting five.

As the nominal boss of the team, the core of the outside tactics, he took the lead and was ready to give the Pistons from afar a slap in the face, although the current Pistons are not like the 73-win Warriors, everyone is desperate to prevent them from creating miracles, but it is also regarded as the best challenge by the major teams.

So, I saw Francis dribbling the ball quickly, Chauncy Billups clinging closely, but although Francis is not known for his physical fitness, his flexibility is also first-class, and few people can keep up, so Francis turned around quickly, and then did not pause, directly crossed past the Tysha Amplins who was making up the defense, went straight to the inside, and then hit a coquettish pull-up layup.

Francis's coherent and chic movements, immediately attracted everyone to cheer loudly, Francis was also very satisfied with his meeting gift, and even followed the shy Yao Da also laughed, in fact, Da Yao respected this player who was not tall or strong, and it was his assistance and help that made him quickly integrate into the team.

Seeing Francis so provocative, the Pistons must return one, and the only candidate is Osborne, who is gradually violent and direct, Osborne also feels that he is duty-bound, he received a pass from Chauncey Billups, Osborne also directly broke through the left side of the dribble directly under the two crotches, and quickly broke through the Rockets small forward Jim Jackson's defense, and quickly broke through the Rockets restricted area, the Rockets inside line is not easy to enter, after all, there is the league's tallest person on the inside, so Osborne does not dare to directly impact the basket, Osborne originally had a quick stop and backward jumper, and this time Yao Da could only look at the ball and sigh, although Osborne's breakthrough was not as gorgeous and cool as Francis, but it was directly domineering and unstoppable.

Osborne also gave the sharp Boss a response ball, but Francis wasn't going to give up so well, he felt that his basketball was provoked. (To be continued.) )
