The goal of both teams in this quarter is very clear, that is, to limit the core players of the other side, Osborne was targeted by the Spurs players, and Tim Duncan was also targeted by the Pistons, although these two guys accounted for different proportions of their respective teams' scores, so the Pistons still had some losses in this way, after all, the Spurs players had a more balanced distribution of points.

But fortunately, Larry Brown was prepared, he knew that Osborne would be targeted by the Spurs players, so he adjusted the Pistons' offensive focus in time, so that Osborne did not have to risk injury to play, after all, the Spurs Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry are indeed not good at stubble.

As soon as Osborne received the basketball, Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry hurriedly ran over to wrap Osborne, Osborne was not in a hurry to pass the ball, he changed direction twice in a row to shake Bruce Bowen, and then broke directly to the left, pretending to break through to the basket, but when he passed Rashid Wallace, he passed the basketball player directly to Rashid Wallace.

Tim Duncan wanted to come over to block Rashid Wallace at this time, but Osborne had already blocked Tim Duncan's face, so Rashid Wallace easily hit a two-pointer, and the score was tied again.

Tim Duncan saw this situation and felt that it was not a matter to drag it out like this, because Osborne was like a nuclear bomb, and he usually looked like there was nothing to be afraid of, but once it broke out, it was a devastating rhythm, so he had to hold down Osborne, but now it was also embarrassing, Osborne did not score by himself, but became a point guard, which made Popovich's arrangement a little misguided, so that the Spurs had almost no players on the court except for Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, After all, Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry have no way to score, and their career average of points per game is only in single digits.

There was no choice but to go on his own, Tim Duncan stuck the position and signaled Tony Parker to pass, Tony Parker did not pass the ball directly, but like Osborne, he broke through Chauncey Billups and entered the Pistons restricted area to attract the defense, he passed the basketball to Tim Duncan with a ground pass, and Tim Duncan also jumped up to complete a domineering dunk.

And Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace reluctantly became the background wall, the Spurs led the Pistons again, Richard Hamilton was very unhappy to see this scene, he used his off-ball running skills to get rid of Brent Barry, and received a pass from Chauncey Billups is a three-point shot, this three-point shot came quite timely, attracting Brent Barry's attention, he was also very conflicted at this time, I don't know whether to continue to wrap Osborne, or do his job well, and guard against Richard Hamilton.

Popovich also seemed to see Brent Barry's embarrassment, there was no way, he had to replace Brent Barry, and replace Michael Finley on the court again to continue as a starter, Osborne saw that Popovich actually changed his tactics, and he was very excited, Bruce Bowen defended him alone, it was like giving away points, but he had to pay attention to Bruce Bowen's black feet.

Tony Parker also stood up at this time, his agile footsteps passed Chaunci Billups, faced Rasheed Wallace's block, scored the basketball, and also caused Rasheed Wallace's foul, Tony Parker's draft pick is not high, but it is really easy to use, the organizational offense and individual offensive ability are just now, and he has also won the FMVP, Osborne also admires Tony Parker and Manuginobili very much, the two international players.

Chauncy Billups was repeatedly humiliated by Tony Parker, and he couldn't hold his face, he also started his personal offense, he faced Tony Parker, passed Tony Parker with an acceleration, and then he was ready to learn Tony Parker to carry Tim Duncan to score, but unfortunately Tim Duncan was not Rasheed Wallace, he jumped high and slapped Chaunci Billups' shot away.

The basketball was picked up by Tony Parker, and then he made another layup to score five points to give the Spurs a four-point lead over the Pistons.

Seeing this, Osborne couldn't help it, since Popovich revoked his bag, Osborne was also crazy to run, making the Spurs defenders tired, Osborne was using his teammates' blocking and dismantling cover, under the blocking and dismantling cover of Richard Hamilton, Osborne easily shot a three-pointer to help the Pistons stop the bleeding, and Bruce Bowen was also very helpless, he was known for his single defense, but every time he met Osborne, his single defense could not play a role.

Michael Finley also hasn't played for a long time, in the Spurs counterattack, Michael Finley also wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but unfortunately his range was not enough, fortunately Tim Duncan was strong enough, he took the rebound directly on Ben Wallace's head, and easily hit the board to hit two points.

When Tim Duncan scored two more points under the cover of the Pistons, Larry Brown couldn't help but call a timeout, he didn't expect that the double Wallace combination of Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace would have no way to limit Tim Duncan's scoring.

Larry Brown said to Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace: "You two have to teach Tim Duncan a good lesson, can you really put up with this guy on the Pistons?" I don't want to see Tim Duncan score inside all the time. ”

In fact, Rashid Wallace is also very aggrieved, after all, he is responsible for scoring, so his strength in defense is much less, and Ben Wallace can't get Tim Duncan alone, but they can't say anything, just nod and agree.

After the timeout, Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace focused on Tim Duncan's defense, just leaving them speechless, and Tim Duncan also began to act as a transit station, he repeatedly passed the ball to Michael Finley on the outside and Tony Parker to block and cover, which made Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace as weak as a punch on cotton.

The two teams started to fight again, and the painstaking arrangement of Larry Brown and Popovich was useless, and the scene returned to the situation where Osborne dominated the outside line and Tim Duncan dominated the inside line.

When the second quarter ended, the Pistons led the Spurs by one point at 49:48, and Osborne scored very little in the second quarter, only 11 points, after all, he was intimidated by Bruce Bowen's defense, and once he attacked, Osborne was almost injured, but fortunately he knocked Bruce Bowen over and was not injured, and if he shot directly, he would have stepped on Bruce Bowen's black foot.
