Chapter 143: Byron Davis's Provocation
Byron Davis has been completely confident in recent seasons, and he has also sat in the position of the team leader.
He is now at the peak of his life and career, and it is inevitable that some people will be complacent, and he shouted before the game: "I have already competed against two of the so-called three supremacies in the East, so be it, the New Jersey Nets have been beaten down by us, and as for the Pacers, we are only one point behind." For me, the Pistons are also the kind of goods that don't look good. Especially the guy named Michael Jean named Osborn, who is about to be hailed by the League. ”
As one of the best trouble-provoking groups, some reporters showed this video to the Pistons players, except for Osborne, all the Pistons players were furious, and the reporter saw Osborne so calm, so he asked: "What do you think about this video as the main businessman." ”
Osborne was also a little angry in his heart, but he didn't show it, he replied: "I have nothing to evaluate for such a thing, as for that bearded man who looks down on me, I can't help it, my mouth grows on someone else's body, but from today on, I will let those mocking faces and tongues all fall silent, let them know that basketball is still solved on the basketball court, after all, the profit of the tongue is not the work of heroes." I'll leave that for today, and today we will definitely win. ”
After Osborne finished speaking, he didn't answer any questions and walked straight into the Hornets' New Orleans Arena. The reporters were left to look at each other, but the reporters had already managed to provoke a scolding war between the two teams. Whichever side wins, the journalist will have something to write about.
The game hasn't started yet. The Pistons could already feel the malice from the Hornets, especially the big-talking bearded Byron Davis who looked at Osborne viciously, but Osborne unknowingly began the pre-game warm-up.
Then the two teams started the pre-game warm-up exercise in an atmosphere where even the air had become eerie, and Byron Davis also had a dunk from time to time to vent his emotions.
About fifteen minutes later, the referee whistled to announce the start of the game, and then the two sides sent out starters, the Pistons were the starters who couldn't beat the thunder, but Osborne was still on the top of the shooting guard, and Dakomilisic was on the center position.
The starters on the Hornets' side turned out exactly as Larry Brown predicted. Center Jamal Magloyer, power forward George Lynch, small forward Jamal Marshburn, scoring guard David Wesley, point guard Byron Davis. This lineup looks like the offensive firepower will definitely not be weak, and the defense will definitely not be too bad, after all, it is definitely not possible for an ordinary team to defend a top team like the Pacers with a 66 points, even a team like the Pistons does not have such defensive strength. So Larry Brown is curious about such a Hornets.
When the game started, Daco Milicic replaced Ben Wallace and Jamal Magloyle for the jump ball, Osborne glanced at Magloyle, this guy is really not comparable to Milicic's physical fitness. If nothing else, the side that won the jump ball today should be the Hornets, as Osborne expected. Magloyle slammed the ball to his side, and Byron Davis grabbed the ball. did not hesitate to directly pass the halftime with Magloyer in an open connection, giving the Pistons a shot to Ma Wei.
Byron Davis after a successful combination with Magloyer. made a provocative move towards Osborne, Osborne looked at Byron Davis so arrogant, and didn't want to have to respond, otherwise he would say that he was cowardly, Chauncey Billups was also very self-reproachful for this ball, after all, he did not keep up with Byron Davis, so he did not hesitate to support Osborne's counterattack.
Osborne's counterattack is very simple, that is, after receiving a pass from Chaunci Billups, he did not hesitate to shoot a three-point back-to-back jumper, and then it was David Wesley of the Hornets who defended Osborne, and he didn't expect Osborne to be so crisp, but he still tried his best to interfere with Osborne's shooting touch, but Osborne was not affected at all, I saw him throw the ball out against David Wesley's defense, and then the three-point shot passed through the net like a guided missile. After Osborne made a three-pointer, Osborne responded with a very arrogant move to show Byron Davis.
Byron Davis was very annoyed after watching it, but he was still quite confident, and then it was time for his own performance, this time Byron Davis wanted to play alone, Byron Davis dribbled past half court, pretending to be looking for the position of his teammates, this time Chauncy Billups did not dare to wander, careful defense, but Byron Davis did not have the slightest sign of wanting to pass the ball, and suddenly Byron Davis used his height and weight advantage to directly crush Chaunsi Billups, Chauncy Billups has nothing to do about this style of play, and can only hope that Byron Davis's shooting touch is a little worse.
Byron Davis leaned on Chauncy Billups, and then a turnaround and backward jumper also scored the ball cleanly, at this time Byron Davis did not make any moves, just gave Osborne a sharp look, and then Chauncy Billups found out that this was simply a battle between Osborne and Byron Davis, but the victim was himself, and Billups was also helpless.
Sure enough, as Billups expected, Osborne still took the ball over, and used a pick-and-roll cover, Osborne got a three-point shooting space, and then Osborne made a trademark three-point shot, the shooting speed was fast and casual, as if thrown out casually, but the basketball fell into the basket very accurately.
For every provocation by Byron Davis, Osborne responded with a three-pointer, so Osborne and Byron Davis began to pinch each other in the first quarter, and they did not give in to each other, and the ball was high from the beginning. The tide is repeated, and New Orleans fans are addicted.
Larry Brown was very helpless when he saw that his arrangement was all disrupted by Osborne, but the only consolation was that Osborne's three-point shooting rate was now 100 shots, Osborne had already made 6 three-pointers, scored 18 points crazily, and directly single-handedly topped the score of the entire Hornets team and slapped Byron Davis in the face.
