God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 359
Although you are fully prepared before the start of the game, many times it does not mean that if you are ready, you will definitely go on the expected path. The 76ers got the ball on the first attack very well, but failed to get the ball to the basket very badly.In fact, when he made the shot, Reed was already in an absolutely open position, and there were no defensive players within two meters in front of him. It stands to reason that he would definitely be able to seize this opportunity. Such scenes appeared too many times in training.

But the basketball seemed to be against him. After a circle in the basket, it slid out again. Batty easily accepted the rebound, because Dalembert also thought that Reed's three-pointer The ball will definitely hit.

Such a missed shot gave the 76ers a bad start, and they missed three consecutive shots until the fifth offensive possession after Dalembert received a pass at the basket. Completed a dunk.This seems to be the same pace as the previous game, but in fact it is very different. The reason is simple. The Celtics also lost their fiery touch in the previous game, except Pierce scored 4 points and Walker scored 2 In addition to scoring, other people's shots are all iron.

For a time, there would be the sound of a basketball hitting the rim every ten or 20 seconds. This was a kind of torture for both teams. After the pick-and-roll, I hope to get out of the quagmire as soon as possible.Relatively speaking, the scoring efficiency of the 76ers is slightly higher. Dalembert's threat is infinitely magnified after receiving the ball at the basket. His ability to summarize the basket is much better than Batty. The only Celtics Fortunately, they still have the fat guy Walker.

Of course, Walker will not go to the basket like Dalembert. He has no weight but doesn't like physical confrontation, so mid-range shooting becomes his only choice.There is no doubt that there is a gap in the shooting percentage between mid-range shooting and offense at the basket, which makes Walker's offensive efficiency far inferior to that of Dalembert, so the point difference between the two sides is very tight.

That's not unacceptable to Brown, but he doesn't want to see his players hammering the floor endlessly.He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Chang, do you have any good ideas? I feel like they're going to smash the basket crooked!"

Chang Wei shrugged: "I'm sorry, coach, I'm not God. Maybe they forgot their shooting crosshairs in the hotel?" Maybe it was not good for him to be joking at this time, Chang Wei said again: The bad ones are hard to fix, you just have to get them as close to the basket as possible to score, and Samuel did a great job..."

Brown rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "Although we haven't fallen behind too much, it won't work after all. If the opponent finds the touch faster than us, it will be over. We may lose the first round." Two games!"

Chang Wei thought for a while, and asked tentatively, "Why don't we let Gilbert go up and try?"

Brown seemed to be caught off guard by this suggestion, and after a while he asked in confusion, "Why him?"

"Gilbert is a game-oriented player. No matter what kind of scene is trivial to him, it is difficult for the boos of the home fans to affect him. And if he and Allen form a backcourt, breakthrough His abilities will be further strengthened, and most importantly, this guy doesn't know what it is to be afraid, and he urgently needs enough playing time to prove himself!"

Chang Wei's love for Arenas is well-known in the team, and it is for this reason that Arenas is not crowded out by his teammates. After all, with his character, he can't survive 2 minutes in a TV series.However, Brown still listened to Chang Wei's suggestion, because he also believed that Arenas could improve the team's breakthrough ability. In the situation where both sides are constantly hitting iron, this may be the most efficient way to score. A good Raider will not be discarded.

However, it was not Bell but Reed who was replaced. In the first 6 minutes of the game, Bell's restrictions on Pierce were still in place. I don't know if it was because of his desperate defense. So far, Pierce has only scored 6 points. , and only 8 of 2 shots.Reid's performance on the offensive end was even worse. He only scored 6 points on 1 of 3 shots, and he did not play his value as the top shooter at all. At this time, it seemed a good decision for Arenas to replace him to catch his breath.

After Arenas came on the stage, the offense of the 76ers quickly improved. He and Iverson's tireless and crazy breakthroughs sifted the Celtics' inside defense, and also provided Dalembert with More opportunities to finish at the basket.By the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led 32 to 28 by 4 points. Although the gap was not that big, it was not easy to take the lead when both sides shot less than 40%.Dalembert ate his cake in the first quarter, scoring a team-high 6 points on 5-for-10 shooting while grabbing five rebounds, including two offensive rebounds.

However, he was able to score unscrupulously under the basket thanks to Iverson and Arenas. They did not directly break through simply and rudely. A high-throw pass to Dalembert made him complete the dunk inside, and the Celtics inside couldn't stop him from going down.

The only ones who feel uncomfortable may be the Celtics fans who go to the home court to watch the game. They don't want to see both sides playing iron constantly, even if they are diehard fans of one of the teams.During the intermission, they held up various slogans to cheer the Celtics, hoping that they could regain the fiery shooting touch of the previous game in the second quarter.

Of course, this is also what the 76ers expect of themselves. Crazy blacksmithing is not a pleasant process. In fact, they are ashamed of their shooting percentage so low. This is not their game style at all.

Listening to the louder and louder drum noise in the arena, Arenas muttered helplessly: "I've had enough, this is the rest time after the first quarter, why are they still working so hard like they're on steroids?" yelling?"

Chang Wei said humorously: "I don't know, but if you can shoot the crap out of each other in the second quarter, I think they will learn to shut up. No fan wants to see their team being ravaged. Isn't it?"
