Chapter 552: The Initial Dream
Osborne didn't play much in the first quarter, but his teammates played well, and the players of the Heat team also showed their talents, played and contributed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This shows the depth of the lineup between the two teams, even if Osborne and Wade are removed, the two teams can still be called top teams, so this game is destined to be a good game, but the more exciting the game, the higher the ratings of this game, and the happier the league's top management.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Osborne's three-point shot finally began to exert its power, Osborne after Dwyane Wade threw a throw, received a pass from Chauncey Billups, and threw a three-pointer directly against Dwyane Wade's defense, although Dwyane Wade tried his best to jump up and want to block Osborne, but Osborne's height and bouncing air confrontation were stronger than Wade, and his shooting speed was very fast, Wade didn't even have a chance to block, so he could only watch Osborne throw the basketball in.
Now Osborne's position is uncertain, he is a swing man, but Larry Brown obviously wants him to play as a scoring guard, after all, he has strong individual ability, his off-ball running skills are first-class, and he is tall and strong, and he is very advantageous to play any scoring guard, so it is really unreasonable for Larry Brown not to take advantage of such a huge advantage, so in the future, Osborne and Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Maddy, Vince Carter will not have fewer opportunities.
And poor Richard Hamilton was squeezed to the bench, or went to the small forward position, and fought hand-to-hand with muscular men like LeBron James, but he also admired Osborne's scoring ability very much, so there was not much resistance to Larry Brown's arrangement.
Then the Heat's offense was more exciting, with Jason Williams leading the ball forward, his coquettish ball control was very powerful, Chauncy Billups couldn't feel his pulse, and then Jason Williams made a smart pass and passed the basketball to Shaquille O'Neal, O'Neal carried Ben Wallace to score the basketball, and also caused Ben Wallace's foul.
Shaquille O'Neal's free throws are still unreliable, free throws may be the pain of Shaquek O'Neal's life, this time Ben Wallace also won the rebound steadily, and then passed it to the Pistons, but this time Chaunci Billups did not hand over the basketball to Osborne to deal with, but chose to shoot the ball himself, but unfortunately his shooting hit the iron again, and the rebound was grabbed by Udonis Haslem, and then Dwyane Wade performed a dragon layup from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
In terms of speed alone, Osborne still can't catch up with Dwyanwade, after all, the Flash is not only the first step to start quickly, but the whole process is very fast.
This time the Heat team's score immediately caught up, and even overtook the Pistons, during this time the Pistons players were very distressed, I don't know which player to defend, the Heat team first lineup proper all-star lineup, Osborne is actually very worried about his three-game road to hegemony, first of all, the Pistons players are not as thoughtful as they used to be after some championships, some are scattered, and the Pistons players are indeed a little older, and defense requires more physical strength than offense, especially high-quality defense.
So then the Pistons fell into a chaotic situation, the Heat's offense was a success, and Osborne's three-pointer was the only hemostatic agent for the Pistons.
Dwyane Wade has beaten Osborne many times, Shaquille O'Neal is still there, and Ben Wallace has made a few strong shots, Jason Williams has also played Chauncy Billups many times to pass a good ball, Antoine Walker is also very powerful, anyway, Richard Hamilton has no way to stop it.
From the perspective of the form on the court, only Rasheed Wallace has the upper hand in the confrontation with Heat player Udonis Haslem, Osborne and Wade can only be regarded as evenly matched, and the other three positions are generally inferior.
Osborne made 13 shots in the first quarter, including eight three-pointers, seven three-pointers and two two-pointers, and scored 25 points, but even then the Pistons were still in a position behind because players at other positions scored only five points.
In the second quarter, the Heat scored 41 points under the defense of the defending champion Pistons players, which was unimaginable, so the Heat scored 73:63 at halftime with the Pistons scoring 10 points.
The result was embarrassing for Osborne and annoyed for Larry Brown, because this was not what a team looking to build a dynasty should be.
At halftime, Larry Brown gave a hard piece of advice to the Pistons, "I know how much gas you have in the tank, but I don't know how much ambition you have in your heart, do you tell me that a team that has won two consecutive championships is a dynasty team?" Thinking about what we entered the league for, we entered here not only for fame, for money, for women, but also for the dream of basketball that we loved at the beginning, and now we have the opportunity to make history, but now you are destroying it, is there anything greater in the world than creating your own history? You ask yourself if you still have the determination to go out of your way for the championship, and if not, I can release you and let you pursue money, and I will exchange you for a player who dreams of winning a championship. ”
After hearing Larry Brown's words, the players who were originally a little tired immediately came to their senses, "Coach Larry, we still want to play, but we have been immersed in the glory of the championship and lost ourselves, so please bear with me a little, we have to continue our glory road." ”
Hearing the players' answers, Larry Brown continued: "Opportunities are always for those who are capable, I can give you one more chance, two chances, even many chances, but I hope you don't let me down for too long, after all, there is a limit to my endurance." ”
After all, in this hugely differentiated society, basketball and sports are one of the few industries where they can turn over and gain fame and fortune, so their dream at the beginning was to change their fate through basketball, but now they are a little absent-minded and put the cart before the horse.
Only a win can bring them exposure, bring them popularity, and bring them a big contract, and Larry Brown's words have made some lazy-minded players recover, after all, they still need to earn a big contract pension, and they are not young now. (To be continued.) )
