Chapter 163: Osborne Left Out in the Cold
The referee signaled the game to end, the Pistons won, and Iverson's three-pointer was not counted.
In fact, when Iverson received the ball and then pitched, he felt as if he was overtime, and his face was a little lost, but then he thought that he had done his best today, and he also scored a career-high score of 65 points, Iverson comforted himself.
At this time, the 76ers' home arena was boiling, most of them were protesting against the referees and asking the referees to change their decisions, and the rest were also abusing the Pistons, after all, most people thought that the Pistons relied on the referees to win the game.
The commentators are no longer obsessed with winning the game, and are focusing on Iverson's super data, one of the commentators reported: "I have long said that there are no losers in today's game, and even if the 76ers fail, Iverson can walk out of here with his head held high today, and today the 76ers lost to luck, and it can even be said that they lost to the referee." ”
"I think today's game, the ups and downs are very exciting, is that the only one who thinks so? And today both sides played the basketball they wanted, with Allen Iverson hitting the highest points of his career, far surpassing the lucky kid of the Los Angeles Lakers. Iverson made 37 shots today, hit 10 three-pointers, 12 two-pointers, and 11 free throws, and he scored 65 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. Another commentator reported on the air.
Confusingly, none of today's commentators detailed the Pistons' player stats. And the people who are here today, whether they are commentators or media reporters. They all seem to have consciously or unconsciously avoided talking about the Pistons, and their eyes have focused on Allen Iverson of the 76ers.
Today, Osborne played one of the best games of his career. He was very tough, and he didn't back down or back down in the face of Allen Iverson. He recorded a super triple-double with 56 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds. It would have been a nice thing to do, but Osborne now feels like he's been left out in the cold, and he finds that as soon as the game is over, everyone is interviewing Allen Iverson, and very few people come to the Pistons to interview them.
Osborne looked at Iverson, surrounded by media reporters, like a star holding the moon, Osborne admitted that he was a little envious, and he still thought in his head: Is this what a superstar is like? Even if it failed, it was comforted by a large number of journalists. Although I am often hailed as a superstar by some media, I still can't be treated like those superstars who have been in the league for years.
Osborne looked at Allen Iverson, who was still talking and laughing, and vowed in his heart: I must surpass these guys, I must let every record in the NBA leave my mark, I must break Michael Jordan's scoring record, I will break Oscar Robertson's triple-double record, and so on.
In fact, Osborne's depression is not only at this time, but even at the media press conference after the game. It was also ignored by most reporters, and there is nothing to say about being ignored in the 76ers' home arena, but the fact that the press conference was ignored only shows that the media in Philadelphia really can't afford to lose.
No one cares what Osborne's reporters are doing? The only people in their eyes now are Alan Iverson and Larry Brown. After all, these two have teamed up to reach the finals together. The 76ers lost 4-1 to the Lakers, and since then, the intimacy between the two has plummeted. Eventually fell apart. This was the first time they had met since the breakup, and both teams were playing in the dark. The sun and the moon have no light.
In the end, the Pistons defeated the 76ers by one point, what a touching script. If you don't dig deeper, will you be sorry for the identity of entertainment media reporters? So Osborne's neglect is also caused by a specific environment, if it is in other cities outside of Philadelphia, Osborne is the first darling of the media, but in Philadelphia, as long as Osborne is still on the Pistons or Larry Brown is still on the Pistons, Larry Brown and Allen Iverson will always be the focus of attention of the people of Philadelphia.
Osborne watched quietly as Allen Iverson and Larry Brown fell in love with each other, and first a local Philadelphia media reporter interviewed Allen Iverson and asked, "Today is the day you reunite with Coach Larry Brown, I don't know what you want to say to Coach Larry Brown." ”
Allen Iverson didn't expect the reporter to be so anxious, and asked him questions about the old man Larry Brown, but Iverson didn't shy away from it, he said frankly: "I respected Coach Larry Brown and the help I once gave me, he made me the scoring champion, he made me into the playoffs, he made me MVP, or he made me to the finals, I really miss the time we struggled together, I really hope we never separated." ”
After listening to Allen Iverson's speech, Larry Brown was stunned, and thought a little incredible: This is still the unruly and uninhibited Allen Iverson, I don't know and think it's LeBron James, so he can please reporters and media, and he is really mature, knows how to be humble and respectful, although it may only be superficial, but Allen Iverson has indeed changed a lot.
Not only was Larry Brown shocked, but Osborne was dumbfounded, thinking: This is really the Allen Iverson who drove Larry Brown away, if he hadn't repeatedly pressured the management, Larry Brown would not have been fired, not fired, not so deeply injured, and would not have hated superstar basketball, and would not have suppressed Osborne.
In fact, Larry Brown hates superstar basketball, except for part because of the Lakers, and the rest of the large part is because of Iverson, because superstar basketball made him lose the championship, and it was also because superstar basketball made him lose his job, so he hated superstar basketball so much, and vowed to use team basketball to prove himself, and fortunately, Larry Brown was about to make his wish come true.
The Pistons team he led not only blew up the entire East, but also solved it cleanly, the unbeatable Lakers F4, and directly changed the pattern of the league, after all, the combination of the four kings fell apart, and the sharks traveled eastward, making the dynasty team Lakers instantly collapse and become a rebuilt team.
The press conference was not until the end of the press conference, and finally someone thought of the MVP of today's game, Osborne, but Osborne didn't say much, and ended today's trip with some clichés, and they were about to rush to the hotel to rest, they were too tired. (To be continued.) )
