Chapter 157: Osborne's Mission
Larry Brown gave all his hope to Osborne, because only Osborne can turn the tide, and at this time it is superstar basketball that can better fight Iverson.
And Osborne's data is also very dazzling, Osborne also cut a quasi-triple-double of 18 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds in less than two quarters, if you convert it, Osborne's score is also the same as Allen Iverson. But Larry Brown saw that the second quarter was coming to an end, so there was no need to waste a timeout.
It's just that if Larry Brown could see Iverson's performance in the final moments, he would definitely call a timeout.
Iverson became more and more excited, his condition was getting better and better, and the power was constantly surging from his body, and he didn't have to worry about whether he could get in.
Osborne saw that Alan Iverson was still so arrogant, so he took the initiative to cover Allen Iverson, but Alan Iverson could not be prevented by wrapping up.
I saw Iverson keep using his stunts to break through the defense of Osborne and Chaunsibilups, it was simply soeasy, Osborne did not give up after being broken through by Iverson, and wanted to block Iverson many times, but unfortunately they were all converted into 2+1 by Iverson, so far Osborne did not dare to try to block Iverson even if he was broken through by Iverson, just do his best.
After a few head-to-head encounters in the second quarter, Osborne found that he and Allen Iverson were not the same level players at all, if Allen Iverson was the top player in the league, then he was the league's top half player, and his defense was simply not enough to cause any trouble for Allen Iverson.
Osborne saw Iverson's agile footwork, his quick breakaway, and that unstoppable momentum, and there was no player with this kind of attacking power. It's no wonder that Iverson has always been a mountain that Kobe Bryant has been unable to cross in the early part of his career, and he really can't match.
At this time, Allen Iverson scored 6 points in less than two minutes, and by the end of the second quarter, Allen Iverson's game statistics were already very rebellious, with 48 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals.
Osborne was really unconvinced when he saw such data as Allen Iverson. Osborne has always respected and admired Iverson, and now there is a direct competition, he alone is not Allen Iverson's opponent at all, but as a professional basketball player, he is very indignant about Iverson's current arrogant performance and such a nobody's approach, Osborne's current mood is to treat Iverson as a competitor, not as a basketball idol before.
Larry Brown now regrets why he didn't call a timeout, and the kid scored eight more points in just two minutes. Although it is not as perverted as 8 seconds and 8 minutes, and not as crazy as 35 seconds and 13 minutes, it also makes Allen Iverson's score almost exceed 50 points.
Larry Brown instructed directly in the lounge: "It's a tough game, even though we're behind, but we definitely have hope of a comeback, as long as we can block Allen Iverson and then Osborne you do your best to score." ”
Osborne was thinking about how to counterattack, but he didn't expect the coach to give the task directly, but Osborne asked with some concern: "What should we do?" That Allen Iverson was so unstoppable that even my bag with Chauncey Billups didn't work for him. ”
Larry Brown hears Osborne's question. The old god replied: "You don't have to worry, I will ask all the players to defend Allen Iverson in a while, consume his physical strength as much as possible, try to disrupt his offensive rhythm, and even do not hesitate to foul, as long as I can stop him." ”
Osborne heard Larry Brown reply. As if he had thought of something, he stopped talking, and then Larry Brown began to assign specific tasks to the others.
When Osborne was about to play, it suddenly occurred to him that the coach wanted to use the 'Jordan Rule' against Allen Iverson, which is really possible? After all, Allen Iverson's game state this time is definitely super god-level. There is nothing wrong with this method.
What is Jordan's Law? As the name suggests: it is a method used to deal with Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, this method is extremely rough and even dirty, but it is really useful for Michael Jordan, but this is only limited to the savage eighties and nineties, if it were according to the current blowing penalty scale, you would have been given six offenses to rest.
However, even modern basketball, which focuses on spectacle, still has a way to use Jordan's rule, after all, any regulation has loopholes that can be drilled, and now using Jordan's rule is to use fouls, keep fouling, or even malicious fouls, to interrupt the subject's competitive state or shooting feeling.
However, these are not Osborne's tasks, he only needs to score.
As soon as Osborne started the third quarter, he showed himself very positively, after all, he is also a player with a head and a face, and he can't let the other party slap his face but still respond at all, he must let those who dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head know that the Pistons have superstars and the Pistons are invincible.
Osborne didn't use the usual three-point shots, but broke through to the 76ers' interior very toughly, Osborne easily broke through Aaron McGee and went straight into the opponent's restricted area, but Osborne's shooting made the 76ers' center Mark Jackson interfere, and the shot was a little small, but Osborne did not give up and grabbed the offensive rebound directly, and then scored an easy rebound.
Then Allen Iverson began to counterattack, Allen Iverson also concocted the same method, wanting to return Osborne with a response ball, but when Allen Iverson broke into the interior of the Pistons, Elden Campbell directly blocked Iverson with a defensive cap, and then Iverson scored the ball with a freehand pull-up layup, Iverson's score came to 50 points, but although the ball went in, Iverson's body was covered by Elden Campbell and fell out on his back.
Osborne saw this situation, but also unbearable, after all, in the 2000 ~ 2001 season Allen Iverson led the 76ers and the Lakers in the finals, Iverson had a ball Osborne was very touched, Allen Iverson threw off Kobe Bryant to break through the inside line and prepare for a layup, but he did not expect O'Neal to kill a big hat from the wing and give it to Allen Iverson, not only the basketball was fanned away, but Iverson himself was also covered by O'Neal.
So Iverson didn't win the championship because of his bad luck, but in the end, it's Alan Iverson's physical talent that limits his achievements, or he's definitely another bug in the league. (To be continued.) )
