Chapter 450 Richard Hamilton's Hope
Taking advantage of the timeout, Osborne ran to Larry Brown to listen to the lecture like in the last game, Larry Brown said: "Guys, we are already down by nine points at 13:22 in this game, this is still the first quarter of the game, and our defensive quality has dropped a lot, for many reasons, but I don't want to talk about any reason, even if there is no defense, how can your offense not be able to play?" This is unreasonable. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Osborne listened to Larry Brown's speech and knew that Larry Brown must also know the reason why the Pistons were behind, nothing more than two points, the Mavericks were in good shape, the Pistons were poor in physical strength, and how many shots that should have been able to help defend could only watch them shoot, so if the Pistons want to make a breakthrough, they must start with offense.
"Actually, I was going to give up this game directly and let you take turns resting, as can be seen from the fact that I didn't let you do regular training today, I know that you will definitely not agree to this approach, and I didn't say it, so why did I say it now, the reason is very simple, that is, I don't want to make you too nervous, you don't have to blame yourself too much, I won't blame you for winning this game or not, this season our goal is to defend the championship, this is just a regular season, Whatever you do, you can do it. ”
Listening to Larry Brown's words, the players were both moved and helpless, but some people will not give up easily, such as Richard Hamilton, who was originally the tactical core of the Pistons and had a stable shot, but since Osborne entered the Pistons, his status has dropped again and again, and he is even inferior to Rashid Wallace, and he has almost become the team's fourth shot option.
He was a little unwilling, although he didn't usually show it, but he still wanted to fight hard and prove his strength when he had the opportunity, Larry Brown also knew what Richard Hamilton was thinking, but he didn't refuse, because the Pistons were indeed a little sorry for Richard Hamilton, from a core player, gradually became a non-core player, no matter who he was psychologically uncomfortable, so when he encountered such an opportunity to prove himself, of course he would not let go.
'Coach, we're not exhausted yet, we're not giving it our all, how can we give up? Ask the coach to give me two more quarters and I'll be sure to close the difference. Richard Hamilton said.
Coach Larry is also a little guilty about Richard Hamilton, but he doesn't gamble on the health of his players.
"I can give you time, but only for one quarter, if you can complete the comeback against the Mavericks after halftime, I will agree that you play on the court, if not, then I will just give up the game."
Osborne wanted to say something, even if it was some words of encouragement, but he couldn't say it, because the fitness of the Pistons players is a huge problem, and if he didn't get injured, he could still support it, but now he can't say anything to make the Pistons die.
After Richard Hamilton got Larry Brown's affirmation, he had no worries, and he went straight to the court to return to Michael Finley's side and defend aggressively.
Coming back from the timeout, Larry Brown replaced Ben Wallace for a break, replaced Elden Campbell for a break, and the other players remained the same, since he had to play offensive tactics, Ben Wallace didn't need to be tired on the court.
The Pistons took the lead in attacking, and Richard Hamilton motioned for Chauncey Billups to pass the basketball to him, and Chauncey Billups did not hesitate to hand the basketball to him.
As soon as Richard Hamilton got the ball, Michael Finley appeared in front of him, Richard Hamilton didn't care at all, at this time he had to show his basketball skills and play his strength, I saw him continue to cross dribble, looking for offensive rhythm, and then an acceleration started Michael Finley, broke into the Mavericks' interior line, and scored directly against Josh Howard for a folding layup in the air.
This wonderful goal also made the other players of the Pistons very excited, and Osborne was also very excited after watching it, and knew that Richard Hamilton was not without strength, but without a chance to play.
Although it is often said that gold will always shine, but this is not the case, there are not many people who can shine smoothly, it is not that he is not capable, but if you don't meet a good team, your potential will not be able to be realized.
Just like Steve Nash, his role in the Mavericks is minimal, always seems a little redundant, and the Mavericks' style of play is not a run-and-gun tactic, but is known as a troika, among which is him, but in this troika, he is a waste carriage.
On the Suns, they can play to their full potential and are free to play to their strengths.
So it's really important for a coach to appreciate you, and it's not something you can explain if you have the strength or not.
Watching Richard Hamilton's play, Osborne also knew that today may be the happiest moment for Richard Hamilton to play.
Richard Hamilton was very active on the pitch, and Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace were also moved by him.
Chaunci Billups also used his singles ability to get past Jason Terry and easily hit a pull-up jumper, while Rasheed Wallace was not as tall as Dirk Nowitzki, but his flexibility was not inferior to Dirk Nowitzki. He used his footwork, dangling left three times, right three times, and squeezed Dirk Nowitzki's defensive board to hit two points.
After this wave of offense, the Pistons' defense has also improved a lot, Michael Finley has also been limited by Richard Hamilton, and Dirk Nowitzki's shooting percentage has also decreased. The Mavericks' offense also had big problems, and the defensive intensity couldn't stop the Pistons' offense.
Thanks to the efforts of the Pistons players, the Pistons' score finally caught up, and by the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks trailed the Pistons by two points at 49:51.
Richard Hamilton relied on his own efforts to make the Pistons score finally surpass the Mavericks, he also scored 18 points alone, Chauncey Billups scored 10 points and 7 assists, Rasheed Wallace scored 9 points and 8 rebounds, Larry Brown saw such a desperate Richard Hamilton, and he was also very emotional, the Richard Hamilton he knew was a low-key and unassuming, powerful, and obedient player, although such a player could not become a superstar, but he was definitely an excellent basketball player.
At half-time, Richard Hamilton came back and said, "Coach Larry, I've done my job, I don't know if this game can be told to me to handle." ”
Larry Brown couldn't say anything more, "Since you're so determined, then I can't say anything, but what I want to tell you is that whether you win or lose this game, you are a good player, a qualified shooting guard, and I hope you can fulfill your wishes and the wishes of all the players on the team." ”
Richard Hamilton also knows that Larry Brown is hinting that he needs to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, not to destabilize the team, and Richard Hamilton also knows that he is not trying to destabilize the team, but simply wants to prove himself. (To be continued.) )
