God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 293 Continuous Suppression
It stands to reason that a team with internal and external balance is more likely to win the game, because no matter what kind of predicament they fall into, they have a way to break through.But in this game, the 76ers proved that it is possible to go forward with a sword. Their core combination is three guards, but the inside is just a pure defensive player, but now they are pushing the Lakers to the ground.

It is difficult for any team to have three outstanding guards above average, so no one has considered playing like this in the game, and the 76ers have opened a new door for them.As Chang Wei said, the 76ers have a full range of backcourt players, Snow is responsible for defense and organization, and Iverson can also share the task of organizing offense, but he is more of an empty-handed cut and assault the basket. As for Reid They are responsible for catching and hitting shots from the outside. Everyone has their own division of labor.

When these three guards have played 76% or even [-]% of their strength, it is difficult for the Lakers to stop them.Lu and Kobe are certainly excellent defenders, but Fox can only rely on his height to defend against small guards. The [-]ers often let Iverson deliberately match him, using flexible footwork, fake moves and superhuman speed Go straight past Fox.

Although O'Neal continued to score at the basket, the 76ers still maintained their suppression. Although after the intermission, their touch did not decline at all.In addition to the backcourt trio, Lewis also provided three-point shooting on the weak side, and his shooting percentage was also quite good. His presence emptied the Lakers' basket and gave his teammates more room to break through.

This surprised Zen Master. Although the 76ers did not widen the point difference, the Lakers could not narrow the point difference. They played half of the second quarter and the point difference between the two sides was still hovering around 10 points. Of course, the leading Still the 76ers.Watching the numbers on the timer keep getting smaller, Master Zen began to get flustered, which was totally different from what he had imagined before the start of the game!

He couldn't help turning his attention to Kobe. Kobe's shooting percentage in this game was simply horrible. In addition to his own poor hand feeling, Bell's appearance at the end of the first quarter also greatly consumed his energy. Now the Lakers can only Relying on O'Neal alone to score, although his singles with the ball has a high hit rate, it takes a lot of time to score each time, and often after scoring a goal, the opponent will respond with a shot, which makes him feel that he All scores are useless.

Now Zen Master has no particularly good solution. For the first time, he hates that there is no third scorer in his lineup. Looking at the situation on the field, he secretly made up his mind. Signing up a lot this summer will at least bring the team a third scorer besides Kobe and O'Neal.

But in this game, he is already a clever woman who can't cook without rice. There is no way to help the team except to expect the "OK combination" to explode suddenly, but can Kobe and O'Neal really explode in this game?Zen Master expressed doubts about this, and O'Neill's outburst is actually useless, and Kobe must find his shooting sight.

Soon he breathed a sigh of relief. After Kobe made a mid-range shot in front of Reid, he seemed to have a clue. For the 6ers, Lewis missed two consecutive outside shots. Only Iverson broke into the basket and caused a foul and scored two free throws. The situation on the field has reversed.

But before Zen master was happy, Reed completed a chasing three-pointer in a transition attack. According to statistics, he is the player who hits the most chasing three-pointers this season, even more than No.2. 12 balls.In fact, in this era, when playing fast breaks, people usually choose layups or dunks, because being close to the basket can maximize the shooting rate, but Reed does the opposite. Full of confidence, even if the finals tiebreaker, there is no hesitation.

This chasing three-pointer directly dispelled the scoring momentum of the Lakers, which made Zen Master feel very helpless. His praise for Reid at the press conference before was not a scene. He really admired this powerful rookie very much. It is a pity It's because he and Kobe played the same position, otherwise he could consider poaching the corner of the 76ers and bringing him to Los Angeles.

With the help of Reid, the 76ers regained their advantage on the court and maintained it until the end of halftime, completely suppressing the eager Lakers.This made Kobe and the others feel very sad. It was a joke for them not to have a lead from the beginning of the game to the end of the first half, but now this joke has become a reality.

When the halftime whistle sounded, Kobe took the lead to leave through the player tunnel. Zen Master knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't deliberately ask him to stay and wait for his teammates to go back to the locker room together.In fact, if the head coach hadn't had to watch from the sidelines, Zen Master himself would have patted his ass and left. The half-time game was really aggrieved, which made him feel very unwilling.

After appeasing the Lakers players one by one, he led the whole team away from the arena and went to the locker room. Zen master decided to give everyone a bloodbath during the intermission, hoping that the strong desire to win would allow the Lakers to close the point difference in the third quarter. smooth.But when he thought of Kobe's performance in the first half, he was a little scratching his head. Although Kobe played a good performance in the second half of the second quarter, he was still very poor overall. He only made 12 of 5 shots. This is not the top of the league. Scorer style.

Chang Wei was also curious about Kobe's state. He knew that this guy was now in a state of +2 in all attributes. He just handed over an unqualified report card. It can be said that his dismal performance was the root cause of the Lakers' lag in the first half.This situation made Chang Wei puzzled, but now his system has not been upgraded, and he can't see the state of the opponent's players, so he can only give up.

The 76ers players can't control so much, and they don't care why Kobe performed poorly. Anyway, it is a good thing for the team, so there is no need to continue to get to the bottom of it.Looking at the score on the scoreboard, everyone's excitement was written on their faces. If they had doubts about the three-back lineup before, then the score of 65 to 53 has dispelled all their doubts. Knowing that this is the tiebreaker of the finals, it was difficult for them to score nearly 70 points in the half against the Lakers before, but this time they did it. Isn't this the credit of the new lineup?
