God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 234 A Different Three Pointer

It's not that Brown doesn't want to continue to use defense to limit the Bucks' offensive firepower. If the opponent relies on tactics to create shooting space, he will definitely do so.However, now the opponent is completely relying on the heaven-defying touch to maintain the lead, and it seems that they will not be limited by physical fitness in a short period of time. The only thing I can do is to let the players attack and attack.

In the second quarter, Brown went directly to the team's regular starting lineup, but he still made a little change, replacing Snow with Reed as shooting guard.In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Reid showed a good shooting touch. Obviously, he is in a pretty good state today.Moreover, Brown formulated for them the simplest and most effective tactics of breaking through the ball after the pick-and-roll. As a ball handler, Snow's role is far inferior to that of Iverson.

After Brown made personnel adjustments, the scene looked much better.Strictly speaking, both sides are teams that rely heavily on three-pointers, but the three-pointers of the two teams are fundamentally different.The Bucks' three-pointers rely entirely on the players' personal ability to force shots, at least in this game. Although they magically maintain a fairly high shooting rate, this method is difficult to last, and it is impossible. Copy, you can't expect every game to be so against the sky, can you?
In contrast, the shooters of the 76ers are happier. Iverson and Mutombo's pick-and-rolls have become the focus of the Bucks' defense. Sen's ability to finish at the basket is very strong, and he also has a mid-range shot, which cannot be completely defended by the two big men on the inside.At this time, as long as he smoothly transfers the ball to the outside line, the shooter group can comfortably shoot in the open space after a few handovers.

It stands to reason that the 76ers' three-point shooting percentage should be higher than that of the Bucks. In the league, there are not many players whose open shooting percentage is lower than the forced shooting percentage, but this game is obviously unreasonable. Iverson created a lot of open shooting opportunities for his teammates, and the 76ers' three-point shooting rate was still a few percentage points lower than that of the Bucks.The only thing to be happy about is that they did not let the point difference widen again, and the two sides have always maintained a gap of about 5 points.

Now the Bucks basically rely on Ray Allen for their scoring, and Cassell and Robinson can only be regarded as icing on the cake at best.In fact, the Bucks still have a hidden scoring point, which is Thomas, but Karl pays more attention to the three musketeers on the outside. His positioning for Thomas is similar to that of Johnson. He can help the team grab rebounds while taking into account low-post scoring and high-post defense. .Chang Wei felt very unworthy of the treatment of his former disciple, and he had already begun to consider whether to give this guy a special training during the offseason.

I have to say that it makes sense for Ray Allen to become the top shooter in history. Under the siege and interception of the 76ers, he made 8 of 6 three-pointers in the second quarter. One person scored 23 points. That adds up to 10 points. For the 76ers, Lewis scored the most points in a single quarter. He has adapted to Thomas pulling up to defend himself. Facing the defense, he still relied on his running position to get a lot of shots, but 12 points in a single quarter is better than Ray Allen It's much worse.

During the halftime break, Brown was still frowning. The team seemed to be difficult to break through the final 5-point gap, but he didn't believe it. After all, the team's offensive firepower during the regular season was second to none in the league. It is due to the fact that the opponent's shooting rate is too abnormal.But he still wants to continue to attack. He doesn't believe that the Bucks players still have such good physical strength in the second half.

But after the start of the second half, he was disappointed. Ray Allen didn't look tired at all. Although this may be because he had a good rest during halftime, it was impossible to show a trace of clues no matter what.Brown knows very well that if Ray Allen can't be dealt with, this game will not be won, but now he doesn't know what card to play.

Bell?The defensive effect in the first quarter was mediocre, and he had committed 3 personal fouls.Lynch?The defensive effect is much worse than that of Bell. Although there are not many fouls on him, it is useless.Now the team's only available striker is Mason, but Mason is not a full-time wing defender, and Brown doesn't know if it is useful to send him up.

The second position is even worse. Snow is short in height and lacks athletic ability. Reid can keep up with Ray Allen's speed, but his main task is to score, and his defense It's very average, and it won't do much good to catch the ducks on the shelves.When Lynch got another personal foul on Ray Allen, Brown could only replace Mason, hoping that he could limit Ray Allen's performance a little bit, and don't expect to see dead opponents.

He is also a rookie, and the pick is still relatively high. Mason's performance this season is far inferior to Reid. After Bell, Brown rarely gives Mason a chance, which also leads to his average playing time. 20 minutes, you must know that Reed has been able to play nearly 25 minutes per game.This time Mason's appearance is just a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Facing Ray Allen, who had gone crazy in this game, Mason made a personal foul when he came on the court. The most tragic thing is that the opponent also threw the ball in. A proper 2+1, Ray Allen The feel of this game, free throws are simply easy to catch.Brown couldn't help covering his forehead, as if it was difficult to accept Mason's performance.In fact, Chang Wei was more difficult to accept than him. Mason was strongly recommended by him, and he also trained him. It is obviously speechless to play like this.

Fortunately, after suffering a few losses, Mason became cautious. Although his defense didn't work, at least he didn't make any more mistakes, and he even found time to hit a three-pointer.However, this is obviously far from Brown's requirements. However, in order to ensure that Bell can stay on the court at the most critical moment, he had to continue to endure Mason's poor performance.

Mason also seemed very helpless on the field. In fact, he performed very well during training on weekdays, but in this game his opponent was simply blocking people and killing Buddhas. This is a tragedy for the defensive side.However, he still gritted his teeth and stared at Ray Allen. Whenever he got the ball, Mason would also rush forward, even if he was still ashamed in front of Ray Allen in the last round, there was only one thing in his heart. Belief: Never let this guy score easily!
