God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 269 Overtime?
I have to say that Horry's three-pointers are very accurate. He hit two consecutive three-pointers at the top of the arc within 30 seconds. The same position, the same action, just watch the video and think it was careless post-production copy and paste up.

Even a proven head coach like Brown was shocked. He didn't expect Horry to have such a high shooting percentage. At least in this period of time, he was the only scoring point for the Lakers outside. The rebellious young man is willing to attract defense for him.Other things aside, at least Horry has a good relationship with his teammates in the locker room.

But the 76ers players are not to be outdone, especially Reed, who always feels that he can continue to hit three-pointers.Of course, it is reasonable to say that Lewis should take over the gun in his hand at this time, but Horry has been struggling in the league for so many seasons, and he has never seen such a big storm. On the defensive end, Lewis completely turned off the fire, and even made shots. There is no space.

Lewis felt very ashamed, but he really couldn't get rid of Horry's defense. If he barely made a shot, nine out of ten he would hit the iron directly, so he might as well pass the ball to a more confident teammate!Now it is only a few minutes before the end of the game, and every opportunity to make a shot must be cherished, and don't add burden to Mutombo if nothing happens.

Fortunately, Lewis is not useless on the offensive end. He has proved his three-point shooting ability with his performance throughout the season. space.Lewis was quite dissatisfied with his performance. Among the three people who received special training, his performance in this game was the worst.

Based on Lewis' average level this season, the statistics of 17 points and 7 rebounds in this game don't look shabby, but compared with Iverson and Reed... well, it seems a little shabby.

Now with more than three minutes left in the game, Iverson has scored 21 points and 9 assists, and also sent 2 steals. Reed has scored 28 points and is currently the 76ers' leading scorer.Obviously they have given full play to the effects of Chang Wei's special training, only Lewis was basically lost in the Lakers' defensive system throughout the game.

Iverson can use speed to break the game. Reid can force a shot in front of Kobe, but Lewis can't. He is at a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation and shooting timing, so he can only be a restraining point silently.

Brown originally wanted Bell to defend Horry. Although this is a small defense, he believes that Bell's defensive ability can completely limit Horry to a certain extent.But after thinking about it, Brown still gave up. He didn't want Lewis to face Kobe directly. Even if it was a big defense, the probability of Lewis being blown up by Kobe can be said to be [-]%.

In desperation, Brown can only ask Lewis to do his best to interfere with Horry's reception on the defensive end, and he doesn't even expect him to block the opponent's shots. If there is a foul, you may be sent off early.Although Lewis is not satisfied with his performance, Brown does not want to lose such a guy who can provide the team with outside firepower and open up space, so he can only continue to defend Horry timidly.

In the last minute and a half of the game, the Lakers temporarily led 92 to 90 by 2 points, but this is not a reliable advantage. After all, the ball is still in the hands of the 76ers. As long as they can score this goal, the two sides will at least It will return to the same starting line, and if it is a three-pointer, it will even lead again, which makes the Lakers have to defend against this wave of offense.

The Zen master on the sidelines made a gesture. Fisher was stunned when he saw it, and quickly conveyed the latest instructions from the head coach to his teammates. So when the 76ers sent the baseline ball, the Lakers quickly forced one-on-one. Going up, it is obvious that they want to play a full-court pressing tactic, which can directly cause the 76ers to make mistakes and then take the opportunity to counterattack.

The 76ers players were also caught off guard. Fortunately, their tactical skills are still very good. Although they were facing a high-intensity full-court pressing, they quickly recovered after a short shock.With the cover of Lewis, Iverson got out and received the ball, avoiding a service violation by the opponent, but when he received the ball, Fisher and Kobe rushed up, trying to block Iverson. Corner, half-court violations are also acceptable.

However, Iverson reacted very quickly. Before the encirclement of Kobe and Fisher closed, he directly handed the ball to Lewis, because besides Mutombo who was still getting rid of O'Neal's entanglement on the bottom line, Lewis was the highest on the team. Man, height at this time means a wide field of vision. If Lewis is double-teamed, he can pass the ball.

Facing the approaching Horry, Lewis did not panic, nor did he throw the ball casually to the frontcourt. Instead, he handed it to Iverson, who got rid of the double-team. The full-court press became useless.Seeing the 76ers break the press with passing and running, the Lakers returned to their own half like the tide had ebbed, repositioned the defense before the 76ers started the offense, and didn't give the opponent any advantage Opportunity.

But what they didn't expect was that the 76ers didn't give them a chance to gain a foothold at all. After Iverson came to the frontcourt, he quickly transferred the ball to the right outside the 45-degree three-point line. He hesitated to pull up and shoot, and Kobe, who was about to step forward to defend, was stunned. He dared to shoot a chasing three-pointer at this time?What an awesome confidence!
Reed naturally dared to shoot directly when he was sure, and this was also to catch his opponent by surprise.It's not even the last minute, and the team is still 1 points behind. A chasing three-pointer is not unacceptable.And this is also Brown's acquiescence. With Reed's shooting rate in this game, as long as there is room for shots, he can fire unscrupulously.

This seemingly hasty three-pointer did not hear the prayers of the fans and the entire Lakers team. Instead, it went directly into the frame and saw that he made another shot and helped the team regain the lead. He clenched his fists and roared to cheer himself and his teammates up, and only 12 seconds had passed in this offensive round, so it could be said to be a blitz.

But seeing the current situation, everyone on the sidelines couldn't help but have almost the same idea in their hearts: Is it possible that this game can't be won in the regular season, and we still have to continue to play overtime?
