God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 239
The offense of the 76ers is much stronger than that of the Bucks. Snow received the pass from Iverson in the bottom corner, and instead of shooting immediately, he took two steps to the basket and used a small throw to help the team get the ball. With two points, the ball returned to the Bucks.

After Cassel brought the ball to the frontcourt, Thomas immediately moved to the top of the arc and made a screen for him. Cassel did not hesitate at all, and used the screen to kill the basket, but before Mutome Bo stepped forward to defend, and he passed the ball behind his head directly to Thomas, who was still standing at the top of the arc. Seeing this situation, Lewis was the first to go up.

Looking at Lewis who was waiting in front of him, Thomas smiled and made a breakthrough gesture.Lewis obviously knew it well. He bent down slightly to lower his center of gravity, and kept a half-step distance from Thomas. This was to prevent him from breaking through. And if Thomas wanted to pull up and shoot from the spot, he could also immediately Go forward and interfere.

But Thomas didn't give him a chance. After a series of tentative steps, he retreated, pulled up and shot.Lewis had already been made nervous by his previous tentative step. When Thomas took a step back to shoot, he could be said to be completely caught off guard. Very strong, and Lewis himself is not known for his defense. He is afraid that he will be fouled by his opponent after he pounces on him, so he can only stretch his arms to the limit as long as he can, hoping to slightly block Thomas' shooting sight.

It's a pity that all this was useless. Thomas completely ignored his defense and threw the ball without hesitation, as if he believed that the ball would definitely hit before he took the shot.In fact, everything was following Thomas' script. The few people under the basket didn't get a chance to grab rebounds at all, and the basketball once again pierced the 76ers' basket.

Lewis looked frustrated, he really tried his best, but Thomas was completely unaffected.Although his interference action has been made, it seems to have no effect.Lewis couldn't help but think of the first time the two played against each other. At that time, as the offensive side, he also felt that Thomas' defense was insurmountable, just like facing his offense now.How did you do it at that time?It seems to be running and running, but it is an offense, what should I do if I am defending?Lewis had no clue, he couldn't even ask his teammates because they didn't know what to do.

Chang Wei saw all this scene from the sidelines, and he could only smile helplessly because he knew Lewis very well.In fact, he has never had any hope for Lewis' defense. Being able to keep his position is already the highest requirement for him. It is very difficult for Lewis to defend Thomas.Chang Wei knew exactly what Thomas was capable of. Carl didn't design a [-]-point shooting tactic for him. It didn't mean that he was easy to deal with. It wasn't easy for him to score in front of Lewis.

In Chang Wei's view, the only thing Lewis can do is to make up for the lost points on the offensive end, otherwise his points here are basically lost in vain.Although Lewis was suggested by Chang Wei to be traded to the team, in fact he is most suitable to play in a purely offensive team, such as the Bucks who are standing opposite now. Presumably Karl would like such a big shot Forward, after all, Lewis looks more like a shooter than a shooter, and Thomas at least looks like an insider.

Lewis naturally understood this truth. When it was the 76ers' turn to attack, he took the initiative to ask for the ball at a 45-degree angle on the flank.However, under Thomas' body contact, Lewis's shot was too crooked, hit the backboard directly, and was held tightly in Johnson's arms.Seeing that his shot missed, Lewis slapped his thigh fiercely, his annoyance was palpable. If Thomas made another shot later, the gap would be bigger every time.

Soon Lewis' face turned dark, he was really afraid of something, and the Bucks players saw that the head coach didn't speak, and they also consciously gave the ball to Thomas.Although it wasn't a three-pointer this time, Thomas still dribbled the ball steadily, forced Lewis to the three-second zone, and directly sent the ball into the basket with a half-turned small hook.

After Thomas scored this goal, the point difference between the two sides came to 4 points, and the situation may be reversed at any time.You must know that before these two rounds, the 76ers led their opponents by as much as 9 points, and scoring another goal can open the point difference to double digits, but I didn't expect that after a few rounds, Lewis shot and hit the iron by himself. Let Thomas score 5 points in a row, and the lead was eroded by a large piece. This made Brown shook his head on the sidelines, wishing to replace Lewis.

But after thinking about it carefully, Brown had to suppress the prehistoric power in his body. It is very simple to replace Lewis. The key is who to put on top.If Hill is allowed to play, the interior defense and rebounding can be further strengthened, but Thomas has already shown a good shooting touch, and Hill can't prevent his shots at all.Mason's swing to the fourth position is another way, but he is not tall and heavy enough, and it is not easy for Thomas to drop to the post at any time.

Although Lewis's three-pointer just now was a bit outrageous, it is still a very important scoring point for the team. As long as he can help his teammates create the space needed for offense, then Brown's goal will be achieved.In fact, in many cases, Brown does not need Lewis to score [-] or [-] points in a single game. He only needs to hit the shot when the team needs it. In many cases, his existence is the greatest deterrent to the opponent, which is also the greatest value of his existence. .

The only thing Brown hopes now is that Lewis will not be affected by Thomas and play his role on the offensive end, so that he can make up for the points lost on the defensive end.Brown hasn't found a good way to deal with Thomas yet. He can only hope that the players' shooting percentages on the offensive end, as long as they can shoot more goals than their opponents.

However, Lewis' defense really needs to continue to be strengthened!Thinking of this, Brown turned his head and said to Chang Wei: "Chang, I hope you can make Rashad an above-average defender during this offseason. I think this will bring more help to the team. Regardless Whether we can win the championship this season, a Rashad who can defend will have higher value."

Hearing Brown's request, Chang Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes: How about we just open the deal?
