God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 233 Unstoppable Shooting
What Brown said in the press conference is obviously suspicious, but he also knows that it will not work. Any head coach will basically not take the initiative to change when he has an advantage, especially when the opponent seems to be unable to do anything about it. .As an opponent, Karl also knows very well that the 76ers will continue to use the same routine in the next game until he cracks it.

In fact, he really has no good way to face the 76ers' defense that focuses on physical confrontation. He can only repeatedly emphasize the importance of running during training, hoping that the players can get enough shooting time and space.However, whenever he thinks about the predicament of the first game, he has self-doubt. Is the gap between the second in the Eastern Conference and the first in the Eastern Conference really so big?
The 76ers are naturally full of confidence in the next game. The first big victory has greatly improved their morale. They all hope that they can easily defeat their opponents in the entire series.However, many things are unpredictable on the basketball court. The same tactics face the same team in a certain period of time and not every game can work, otherwise there will not be so many surprises in the history of the NBA. Unforgettable peak duel and super reversal.

At the beginning of the second game, Brown frowned on the sidelines. In this game, he also sent out the same starting lineup as in the previous game, but the effect was not obvious.The reason is simple. The shooting percentage of the Bucks' three major shooters has been greatly improved, especially Ray Allen, who hit three three-pointers in almost the same position.Although the fans booed him hugely when he took the shot, Ray Allen was obviously not affected, and he kept his hand shape quite beautifully when shooting.

Bell, who was in charge of marking him in the last game, did not go up to interfere, but two of Ray Allen's three three-pointers were forcibly hit against his defense, and even Bell's hands covered his face Didn't do anything either.Ray Allen seems to have his own navigation system. He can't see the basket but can still hit the shot steadily.

Thanks to his ability to attract defense from the outside, Russell and Robinson also showed their strong three-point shooting ability. They played really frustrated in the last game, and they were completely stared at by the simple and rough defense of the 76ers. Yes, now that Ray Allen is attracting the opponent's attention, they naturally have to make full use of open shots to help the team score.

Just 6 minutes and 17 seconds into the first quarter, the Bucks took a 20-12 lead. Although this lead was not large, it was enough to blind many people's eyes compared to the previous game.In any case, you can’t blame the 76ers’ defensive intensity for a decline. They have suffered three personal fouls during this period, all of which were caused by excessive defensive actions. However, the Bucks still found the shooting touch they needed most. After careful analysis, it turned out to be quite normal.

Offensive teams that rely exclusively on shooting to score are indeed prone to losing their shooting rhythm during physical confrontation, but if they shoot crazy, it's just how it came about, and any unreasonable shots will eventually become points.In this case, unless there is a frontal block, it cannot be stopped at all, and even an active foul may be turned into an additional penalty by them.

Chang Wei was also very surprised. He didn't expect the Bucks to be able to show such a state. The 76ers' defense was already in place, but it was useless in front of the three shooters who were fully fired.If Bell and the others can block the guns against Cassel and Robinson, then Ray Allen is completely unstoppable for them. • Allen taught every defender a lesson on what makes a top shooter.

Watching the team continue to be bombarded by opponents, Brown couldn't sit still. He walked around anxiously on the sidelines and yelled at the court from time to time. It's really hard for him to make such a loud noise in the audience. It also allows the players to hear his instructions.But Brown can't call out too specific tactics, just let the players be more aggressive on the defensive end, hoping to disrupt the opponent's layout with a higher-intensity defense, but what he doesn't know is that Carl has no layout at all.

After the defensive intensity increased, the situation became more and more unfriendly to the 76ers. Ray Allen began to consciously draw fouls, and he had to throw the ball to the basket to fight for the foul.Although the shooting percentage was not high, it still scored a 2+1 and a 3+1, which undoubtedly made the 76ers players start to be wary.To make matters worse, their main perimeter defensive players, Snow and Bell, have already suffered two personal fouls, which is very unfavorable for the next game.

In desperation, Brown quickly called a timeout and sent the rotation to the top of the court for a period of time in advance.Fortunately, the bench players headed by Reed are good at chaotic battles. They don't follow the rhythm of the Bucks. The point difference can be narrowed, but it has not allowed the point difference to continue to expand.

Of course, the Bucks with a weak bench would not dare to replace all the starters at this time. Karl still kept the best Ray Allen and Thomas on the court, and played the rest of the first quarter with three substitutes. time.As a result, the Bucks' firepower dropped a lot. By the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides became 35 to 30.

The Bucks are not very satisfied with this score. They originally thought that based on their overall shooting percentage, wouldn't it be easy to lead their opponents by double digits?But the 76ers are even more dissatisfied with this score. You must know that they finally beat their opponents in the last game, but now they are led by the Bucks by 5 points to end the first quarter. Where can they save face?
Everyone gathered and looked at Brown expectantly, hoping that the coach would come up with a solution to the problem at this time.Brown took the tactical board from the assistant coach and said while writing and drawing on it: "To be honest, I was also surprised by the performance of the Bucks in the first quarter. Obviously our defense can no longer be limited, so in the second I will change to the regular starting lineup in the first quarter, now it is time to play a game against the Bucks, we have to let them see who is the most powerful team!"

Seeing the impassioned Brown surrounded by the players, Chang Wei felt a little surprised. He always believed that Brown let the 76ers play offensive basketball this season because of the situation. Judging from his current performance, it seems that he is not so resistant to offense!
