God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 192 Indiscriminate Bombing
Because of the twin towers of Duncan and Robinson, the 76ers' shooting rate at the basket is not high. Even if they are not blocked, it is quite normal to be disturbed in the face of the ubiquitous Giant Spirit Palm.

At this time, even if Brown doesn't like outside shooting anymore, he has to ask the players to try to score outside the three-point line. This can stop the bleeding for the team, and it can also open up space for the assaulters.And this goal depends largely on Lewis's performance. After all, he can be said to be the only shooter on the team who can catch and shoot.

A timeout was called, and Brown seized the time to arrange tactics for the players. According to his thinking, the little man must continue to break through with the ball to the inside, and then distribute the ball.If the receiver still doesn't have room to shoot, then make another breakthrough. Although the Spurs' defense is very strong, they have a lot of older players, and it may be difficult to maintain a high-intensity defense.

But one question from Snow made Brown dumbfounded: "How will Duncan deal with it? We can't stop him..."

Brown coughed dryly, looked at Lewis and said, "Rashad, you are the player who is directly facing Duncan. Can you handle him? I mean don't let him interfere with other people's offense, and don't let him if you can." interfere with you."

Rao Lewis had already mustered up his courage, and he didn't dare to be sure when faced with the head coach's inquiry. He was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I can give it a try. Whether it works or not, I will do my best!"

Brown nodded and didn't continue to say anything. The timeout will soon end, and it is already very good to be able to give the players an idea.As for whether it can be successful, it depends on everyone's performance. The situation on the court is changing rapidly. No head coach can swear that his tactics can definitely blow up his opponents, and Brown can't do it either.

After the game restarted, the 76ers' players really started to implement Brown's tactics. After all, they can't think of any particularly good way now. Since the head coach has spoken, they have to try to see the effect.

Snow, who was in charge of the organization, knew that his breakthrough skills were mediocre, so he gave the ball directly to Iverson after he dribbled the ball past half court.Now the point guard of the Spurs on the field is "Little General" Avery Johnson, who will be the head coach of the Mavericks in the future, but he was born in 1965 and he is already 35 years old this year. Space to break through.

In fact, Popovich is also very troubled. Although the Spurs' insiders are top-notch in the league and their wings are also very good, their rotation lineup at the first position is really too old.In addition to Johnson, the other point guard of the team is Terry Porter, the head coach of the Bucks and Suns in the future, who is two years older than Johnson. It is nothing new for the point guard to be blown up in the game.

Iverson's breakthrough has been registered in the entire league. Seeing him rushing towards the basket at lightning speed, Duncan and Robinson had to wait for it. One guarded the basket and the other waited for an opportunity to attack.After attracting Duncan's defense, Iverson didn't bother to fight, but directly threw the ball to the corner of the weak side, where Lynch was standing there waiting to catch the ball.

After getting the ball, the Spurs' small forward Elliott pushed forward. Lynch made a gesture to shoot, clicked, took another step in, and passed the ball back to Snow at the top of the arc.The latter didn't stop the ball at all, and moved to the corner on the other side in a wide range. At this time, Mutombo was entangled with Duncan on the inside, preventing him from pulling up to the high post to defend.

Standing in the bottom corner on the other side was Lewis. When he received the ball, there was an open space in front of him. Duncan was trying to bypass Mutombo and try to defend it, but obviously he couldn't do it in a short time. .Lewis took a deep breath, held his breath, jumped up on the spot, the basketball drew a perfect arc, and went directly into the frame. This was his first three-pointer in the game.

He waved his fist, which was to cheer himself up, and his teammates also came up to give him high fives to celebrate. Mutombo even embraced his shoulder affectionately, sending his own encouragement to this junior.In fact, in the round just now, Mutombo's contribution can be ranked among the top few, but the fans may only remember Iverson who broke through to the basket for the first time and attracted the defense, and finally completed the fatal one. Lewis, who hit the ball, may not have much feeling for Mutombo.

However, Mutombo is willing to do so. He knows his position in this team, and helping his teammates block opponents who are preparing to defend is also his task in the defensive system.That's why he used his body language to thank Lewis for the three-pointer, because he didn't let his efforts in the paint go to waste, and that was enough.

I have to say that Brown's strategy is quite correct, accurately hitting too many weaknesses of the Spurs veteran.Although a group of veterans have rich experience, they are unable to cope with the tactics of the 76ers who take turns to score points, because the latter's tactics are simple and rough.Thanks to Avery and Snow's breakthrough and Mutombo's restraint inside, Lewis got a lot of shots from outside the three-point line. When Brown replaced him, his three-pointer had already passed. It was 6 of 4 shots.

Seeing that Brown replaced most of the starters, Popovich just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but soon had the urge to be rough. The 76ers' bench is more unscrupulous outside the three-point line, especially the young-looking No. 22, who feels so hot that he hits a shot from the outside when he is cold, which makes the Spurs' backup guards extremely grasped. mad.

This No. 22 is the future starting shooting guard Reid that Chang Wei privately reserves for the 76ers. He himself likes to shoot three-pointers. Sit back and watch, that is, Brown is not willing to give rookies too much playing time, otherwise Chang Wei believes that he can compete for the best rookie of the season.

Even so, Reed still firmly grasped the precious playing time, brought out his own characteristics to the fullest, and perfectly continued the 76ers' three-point firepower that was temporarily interrupted because of Lewis' departure.At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers easily led 35 to 27 by 8 points, and they made 11 shots from the three-point line and hit 7 goals. This is undoubtedly a terrifying level, crazy three-point shooting It also directly stunned the Spurs.

Looking at the 76ers bench full of laughter, Popovich couldn't help but sigh, if such a three-point shooting can last for a game, no, as long as it lasts for most of the game, is there any team that can stop them? ?
