God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 328 Fight to Fame

When Mutombo was on the court, the Kings also happened to send out their own rotation lineup. Pollard obviously couldn't be compared with Divac and Webber. Pollard can be overpowered with experience.The advantage in rebounding gave the 76ers a double-digit lead of 35 to 25 at the end of the first quarter.

This result makes Brown very satisfied, but it makes the Kings coach Rick Adelman very dissatisfied.Webber and Divac are the inside aces he is proud of, plus Bibby and Peja, that is the king's four King Kong.However, in the first quarter of the game, Peja was always restricted by Bell, but Weber and Divac couldn't help a rookie center, which was obviously beyond his expectations.

However, the rest time during the quarter was not enough to support Adelman to blow the wind to the players. He could only arrange the tactics for the second quarter as soon as possible.Adelman doesn't quite believe that this is a normal phenomenon, so he still hopes that after the second quarter, Webber will open the situation inside first. If not, then he will play more inside and outside passes to create more three-point shots for Bibby and Peja. Chance.

In contrast, Brown hardly asked the players to make any adjustments, after all, they are now the leading side.Brown focused on Dalembert, who represented the team for the first time in the first game. This big man performed very well in the first quarter. If Brown was still dubious about him before the game, now he fully believes in Dalembert. Porter can be qualified for the team's starting center position. After all, in the entire league, it is not possible to pull out just one person to fight against the King's inside combination.

After the start of the second quarter, Dalembert returned to the battle, and he sent another block at the beginning, and the victim was Christie.Christie, nicknamed the scalpel, is actually a master of breakthroughs, even stronger than Bibby, known as the White Devil, but Dalembert still went forward without fear, and directly made Christie's layup impossible with his own judgment. Come back with success.

This made Christie feel aggrieved, but Dalembert's defensive action was very clean, even if he wanted to ask the referee to reflect, it was useless.Brown applauded softly on the sidelines, and looked at Dalembert with more kind eyes. It seems that he was right in not making adjustments during the intermission. The Haitian center can completely make any assaulter useless And back.

Christie's breakthrough did not work, and Weber's singles also hit a hard bone.Although he is about the same weight as Dalembert, the latter is 5 cm taller than him and can easily lock his shooting space.And Dalembert's style is quite tough. Weber is indeed a gorgeous insider, but what he fears the most is this kind of tough opponent. Under Dalembert's intentional or unintentional physical contact, his whole body The ability can only be used [-]% to [-]%.

Divac is relatively better, but he is not a tough inside player. Under Lewis' constant harassment, it is difficult for him to send the ball to the basket smoothly.In desperation, he could only move to the free throw line to act as a command tower, sharing Bibby's organizational responsibilities, allowing the White Devils to focus more on outside shooting, in order to enhance the team's firepower.

Adelman's idea is very good, but he overlooked one thing, Bibby is not a player who cuts melons and vegetables. In fact, he has not averaged more than 15 points per game so far this season.With Iverson on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to steal, Bibby, who had a passable three-pointer, was also a little embarrassed. Many shots eventually turned into Dalembert's defensive rebounds.

Seeing that the team was still unable to keep up with the score, Adelman's face was very ugly, especially after he thought that Dalembert was the player selected by the 76ers with the draft pick traded by Mason.Adelman is a head coach who likes to train young people. Mason has made a lot of progress under him. This season, he averaged 9.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Rebounding Dalembert, Adelman felt that he was at a big loss.

But this is already an established fact, and Adelman can't change it no matter how upset he is, so he can only walk up and down the sidelines irritably, and yell at the court from time to time.In contrast, Brown seemed very calm. While watching the game, he was talking to other assistant coaches around him.

At halftime, the 76ers led 60-52 by 8 points. This was because Peja hit a three-pointer at the buzzer at the end of the first half, which narrowly controlled the point difference to single digits. Counting, when the halftime whistle blew, Adelman got up first and walked towards the player tunnel. One can imagine what kind of storm the Kings players will encounter in the locker room.

Chang Wei deliberately stayed at the end, and asked Dalembert how he felt with concern, and the latter smiled naively: "I don't have any special feelings, anyway, I just try to do my job well. I believe my teammates can do it." Okay, I can't do things that I can't do well." Chang Wei nodded gratifiedly, Dalembert seemed to be at the extremes of Arenas, but he didn't lack self-confidence, and such a mentality was undoubtedly very correct for a rookie. Otherwise, they may expose their psychological problems after encountering the rookie wall.

The situation of the Kings in the second half still did not change much. Brown put Tyron Hill on the court to partner with Dalembert at the right time. The inside line has been built into a copper wall and an iron wall.Webber and Divac were very unsuited to this style. In the third quarter, they completely played soy sauce. The two teamed up and only scored 12 points and 6 rebounds, while Dalembert and Hill scored a total of 10 points and 13 rebounds. Rebounds and 3 blocked shots.

Seeing that the game was hopeless, Adelman removed all the starting players after more than 4 minutes into the fourth quarter. At this time, the point difference between the two sides had reached 18 points, and the Kings players had no fighting spirit. There will be no good results for stubborn resistance.In addition, the King will go to the away game against the Pacers tomorrow, so it is always good to keep some physical strength.

However, Brown did not intend to replace Dalembert, and still let him gain experience on the court. At this time, Dalembert's data has reached 16 points and 12 rebounds, and he also sent 3 assists and With 3 blocked shots, he played the role of an inside barrier very well, and his 16 points are second only to Iverson's 23 points and Reed's 19 points, which are also commendable.

Watching his teammates being substituted one after another, Dalembert is not dissatisfied with the lack of rest time. What he needs most now is playing time. Whether it is a critical moment or a garbage time, he hopes to use it to improve his experience. .
