Chapter 591 The Pistons Who Were Singn
The moment the Pistons failed, the fans and spectators present were silent, and the Pistons fans who heard the news couldn't believe it, and even the media reporters didn't believe it, they thought that the most perfect and invincible team lost to the Heat, and this result also slapped some media experts in the face, after all, they were still swearing that no team could beat the Pistons, especially in the same series.

It didn't take long for this to be asked, and the facts gave them a resounding slap in the face, and in an instant you set your eyes on the Heat, and they thought about it carefully, isn't the configuration of the Heat team similar to the Lakers F4 period, with so many veteran All-Star players, as well as Dwyane Wade, a potential star, and a superstar like O'Neal.
Then the news media, especially the sports news media, seemed to have discovered a new continent, and frantically reported on the hot Heat team, they analyzed the lineup of the Heat team, the strength of the head coach of the Heat team, and the bench depth of the Heat team, and they summarized a lot of things, anyway, since the Heat team defeated the Pistons, it has suddenly become the focus of attention of many media.
Correspondingly, the Pistons after the loss seem to have become a team with a lot of problems, what is the conflict between head coach Larry Brown and the core of the team Osborne, the locker room has a big fight, no one pays attention to anyone, and what Osborne is not satisfied with the team lineup and forced the management to trade reinforcements, and there is even more outrageous, Osborne is ready to leave the Pistons to join the Lakers, anyway, all kinds of important opinions have come out, all kinds of contradictions, all kinds of rumors, all kinds of transactions are flying all over the sky.
And what are the Pistons doing at this time? In fact, people don't think about it that much, and now they only think about their next opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After all, the past is in the past, and it is not clear who is responsible for the loss, you can say that Ben Wallace's downfall put the Pistons in a crisis, you can also say that Osborne's failure at the last moment caused the team's defeat, and you can even say that Larry Brown's mishandling caused the players to retreat, but first of all, this game is worth every member of the Pistons to be vigilant about, because the league top management seems to be really restricting them, which can be roughly seen from the league referee's blowing scale.
So the Pistons players didn't complain about anyone, and they all knew that they were in the spotlight, and a little bit of wind and grass could give you a tenfold bigger interpretation from the outside.
However, the Pistons' opponent in the next game is the Cavaliers, and they just use the Cavaliers to stand up, but Osborne knows that the Cavaliers have also improved significantly this season, and their strength has increased greatly, and the Cavaliers' record this season is also among the best, and LeBron James is also known as the Wizards and the Pistons' killer.
This season, LeBron James's statistics have risen rapidly, and since the game, he has averaged 31.4 points, 7 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game, which is a very obvious improvement, and the Cavaliers' winning rate is also very high, currently ranked third in the East, and his teammate Big Z is also an All-Star center, as well as Don Yell Marshall, Alex North, Larry Hughes, and Drew Gooden are all in the best period of their careers.
So Osborne knows that the Cavaliers are officially on the road to the top from this season, at least in the regular season, the Cavaliers are doing well, and it's hard to beat the Cavaliers.
But Larry Brown didn't know that if he still used the old way, it would likely lead to another defeat to the Heat, Osborne directly told Larry Brown about the situation during training, "Coach Larry, our last defeat was just because we were too underestimated, but in this game against the Cavaliers, we must study the weaknesses of the Cavaliers?" ā
After listening to Osborne's speech, Larry Brown deeply agreed, he would not look down on the Cavaliers because they were once a weak team, after all, LeBron James's performance was really good, and the performance of the Cavaliers during this period was also phenomenal.
"Osborne, to tell you the truth, I feel a lot about the loss to the Heat, to be honest, the strength of the Pistons is not inferior to any team in the league, the Pistons' three-point shooting is already the highest level in the league, and the defense is also the top in the league, but recently the league has the idea of limiting defense and increasing offense, so those actions that were not fouls in the past are now blown fouls, and I am worried about whether the Pistons' defense is gradually becoming out of place."
Larry Brown's concerns are not unfounded, and as he puts it, the Pistons' defense has made the Pistons untimely and gradually become a sinking team, and the team has only gone from championship to sinking in just two seasons, which is really not the same rate.
"Coach Larry, the way to deal with the Cavaliers is very simple, that is, to resolutely not let LeBron James break through and force him to shoot, so that LeBron James's scoring efficiency will drop a lot, and our victory will become very simple." Osborne reminded.
Larry Brown was still surprised by Osborne's answer, because Osborne usually doesn't worry much about these things, it seems that he lost to the Heat, and Osborne is also holding a fire in his heart, which is also right, when playing the Bobcats, if you want to have a good time, you can do it without the Bobcats, Osborne hasn't made much effort, and the Bobcats have fallen.
And when it came time to play the Heat, Osborne wanted to teach the Heat a good lesson, but due to the lack of strength from his teammates, Osborne himself was restricted, although he tried his best, the Pistons still lost to the Heat, and when it came time to play against Cleveland, Osborne must have wanted to vent his unhappiness.
Larry Brown is also resigned to this, as long as the team wins, the players can do whatever they want.
Just as Osborne was discussing with Larry Brown about how to deal with the Cavaliers, public opinion began to circulate the Pistons.
When Osborne showed up, he was surrounded by a crowd of reporters, one of whom asked, "The general perception is that the Pistons are in crisis, what do you think?" ā
Osborne was already very unhappy, and just took this opportunity to vent, "I think those media reports are, the Pistons just lost a very ordinary and ordinary regular season, even if it was the Bulls at 72 wins, didn't they lose 10 games?" So, I dare say it, the Pistons are still the strongest team in the league, and the championship will still be the Pistons. ā
With that, Osborne walked straight away, leaving a group of disgruntled reporters shivering in the wind.
