God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 198 Christmas War ([-])

Compared with Miller, Best's threat can be said to have dropped several levels. Snow can restrain Best without much effort, which also allows him to free up his hands to try to attack.

While asking Snow to receive passing training, Chang Wei also arranged three-point shooting training for him, with the purpose of shaping him into a 3D player.As the pace of the game gradually accelerates, the value of 3D players will also increase. A player with strong defense and three-point shooting will be popular in any team.

Obviously, now is the stage for Snow to show his value. After Miller left the court, he finally didn't have to regard himself as a pure defensive player. For a while, the 76ers' outside firepower increased again.In addition, the Pacers do not have any reliable defensive players on the perimeter. Snow and Lewis can do whatever they want outside the three-point line. Even if they encounter defenders, Lewis uses his extremely large body compared to outside players to provide a cover for Snow. , the latter can shoot the ball.

Seeing the 76ers players bombarding the field, Chang Wei couldn't help but think of a game he liked to play in his previous life, the NBA2K series. Generally, novice Xiaobai likes this kind of attack very much. Divide the ball.In fact, Chang Wei himself likes it very much, after all, it is quite cool to let the opponent see but not touch.With the current crosshairs of the 76ers, it is normal to directly shoot the opponent to death, and it will also greatly destroy the opponent's resistance psychology.

In desperation, Thomas could only replace Miller on the field again. If there is no veteran to hold the lineup at this time, the game can be surrendered.However, it didn't work for Miller to play. Although he was still able to score points in the way he was good at, the Pacers' offense was intermittent and they couldn't organize effective resistance at all, which didn't help the situation.

In the third quarter, the 76ers once again scored a score of 27 to 20, widening the point difference to more than 20 points.It is not impossible to enter the fourth quarter with a disadvantage of more than 20 points in NBA history and finally reverse the game to win, but Thomas does not believe that his team can do it, just look at the players panting on their knees Just look at it.

He sighed, and forcibly pulled himself together to arrange tactics for the players in the fourth quarter.But in fact, there is nothing to arrange. The morale of the team has fallen to the bottom, and no matter how much they are encouraged, the effect will be similar.So in a sense, Thomas is just doing his best, and he doesn't know what it will look like in the end.

The tactic Thomas arranged for the team was to dig inside hard, and if there was no chance to make a phone call, he would move it out and let Miller and others shoot three-pointers.His idea is based on the Pacers' huge reserve of inside players. Everyone takes turns to play a few rounds, and maybe the 76ers' inside players can be exhausted. In this way, there will be a chance to win the game. ?
But Brown didn't intend to keep Mutombo on the court for the entire second half. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he replaced Hill with the latter at the fifth position, and Lewis continued to stay outside the three-point line. Put a cold shot, anyway, there is nothing wrong with his physical strength.Although Hill is short in height, he has a tough style and good rebounding skills. After replacing Mutombo, the Pacers did not take advantage of rebounds. Instead, he used the second offense to score two goals. .

Seeing that the disadvantage was irretrievable, Thomas had to replace the starting lineup with 8 minutes and 13 seconds left in the game, and let the substitute players finish the remaining time. Seeing the opponent's truce, Brown also removed the starting lineup. , the atmosphere on the field became harmonious for a while, which is also the usual practice of both sides when the overall situation of the game has been determined.

The fans who came to watch the game did not have any dissatisfaction. They still cheered hoarsely for the 76ers' substitute players. In their opinion, as long as the team can win, no matter whether it is an exciting lore opponent or a mediocre They can accept the big score crushing.This matchup at the peak of the Eastern Conference is theoretically extremely fierce, but the 76ers abruptly turned it into a decompression game, but what the fans saw was only the strong dominance of the team they supported.

Brown half leaned on the chair, muttering to himself: "It feels so good to win..."

Chang Wei laughed beside him and said, "Coach, you have been in the industry for so many years, have you won too few games? I thought you would have passed the age of getting excited for a victory in a regular season, but I didn't expect you to be so excited." Passionate."

Brown took a deep look at him and said with a low smile: "Chang, victory is addictive. Ever since I led the team to win the first game in my life, I have longed for any victory." , As long as you can win the game, you will be very satisfied.”

"Sounds like a good idea... so shouldn't we organize a Christmas dinner later?"

"If you want to organize a dinner party, you should come," Brown smiled and shook his hands. "I'm already an old man, and I can't keep up with the pace of your young people. After the game is over, I plan to go back and have a good sleep!"

Chang Wei smiled and did not speak. Brown is really an interesting old man, very different from his superficial rigid and stubborn appearance. Working under such a coach is undoubtedly a pleasure for the body and mind.

While the two were chatting, the game had come to an end, and the Pacers' substitutes couldn't save face in the end. The score was fixed at 99 to 79. The 20-point defeat was the Pacers' worst loss this season.But the 76ers fans at the scene obviously didn't care about their mood. The cheers of MVP resounded throughout the arena. Although this was just a regular season, the Christmas game was obviously not an ordinary regular season, and the opponent was still behind the ass The hotly pursued second in the Eastern Conference.

This victory not only allowed them to extend their lead to 2.5 wins, but also continued to chase the Lakers, who are currently the league's top player, in terms of record.For every player of the 76ers, this is undoubtedly the best Christmas gift. Of course, it is also true for every 76ers fan. The game is over, but they are reluctant to leave.

After returning to the locker room, everyone was very excited. After all, in this game, they proved that they are the best team in the East, and they are much better than No.2.Looking at the dressing room filled with joy, Brown coughed heavily. After everyone quieted down, he pretended to be serious and said, "If everyone is free, let's have a dinner together later!"

Then he pointed to the stunned Chang Wei: "I often say that he will pay the bill!"
