God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 368
"We have to limit Walker's pass, he's too threatening..." Brown looked up at the players around him, and said in a helpless tone, while the numbers on the scoreboard It was 29 to 37.That's right, it's the break after the first quarter, and the 76ers are forced to be the one behind, and this is their home court.

As soon as Brown finished speaking, someone immediately raised an objection: "But this will allow other Celtics players to get a shot. It will be difficult for any of us to cut off Walker's passing line alone. If it is double-teamed, he will pass more balls in the gap, it doesn't need to be very precise, just need to give the gap."

It was Snow who was talking. After the two sides put on the bench, the Celtics still let Walker stay on the court, using his singles to contain the 76ers' strength, and then comfortably pass to teammates who have enough room to shoot.During the period when Snow was on the court, Strickland, who was facing him, made many empty-handed cuts and then received the pass, which instantly stirred up chaos at the basket. Therefore, he was very impressed with Walker and did not think he could Use double teams to crack the opponent's wonderful tactic.

Brown didn't nod or shake his head, but looked at Lewis who had been facing Walker before.The latter said with a sad face: "Coach, I think I have tried my best during the game, but this guy is like a big piece of fat. It is difficult for me to take advantage of the matchup and not be squeezed out by him." Even outside the three-second zone is pretty good..."

Everyone looked at Lewis's thin body, and then thought about Walker's appearance like a bulldozer under the basket in the first quarter, and couldn't help laughing.Brown waved his hand unhappily to signal everyone to stop the laughter, and then said seriously: "Then let Teyron play in the second quarter, your task is to give me a good look at Walker, and I will let Mehmet and you partner inside. , so at least it will not reduce our outside scoring ability, but if even you can't handle it, then I think I should go back and pack my things."

Hill nodded and said loudly, "Don't worry, Coach, I'll make him pay the price!"

Brown squeezed out a smile and said: "It's unrealistic to completely restrict Walker, but I can't think of anyone else who can match him except you. Our inside players are relatively not thick enough, and they are very weak." Lack of defensive blue-collar players, with Dikembe in poor form, I think only you can afford the defense of the fourth position."

These words made both Lewis and Okur bow their heads, and Dalembert was also a little helpless. As a rookie who was only selected last year, his development direction is indeed a defensive center, and he has made great progress this season, but he Experience is still somewhat lacking.Not to mention Mutombo, he has been in a mediocre state throughout the season and has become the team's third center forward.

After the game restarted, Hill clung to Walker like a piece of brown sugar, making Walker uncomfortable.Although Hill is not as tall as Lewis, his strength is far from what Lewis can match, and Hill has a lot of experience on the defensive end. He can often find a position to block Walker and prevent him from turning around, forcing Walker to pass the ball directly. go out.

Pierce was not on the court at this time, and the 76ers thought that by defending Walker, they could limit the opponent's offense, but they soon discovered that they were wrong. When Walker was forced to hand over the ball to his teammates, Rodgers stood up.This chaotic master seems to have suddenly realized that every time he gets the ball, he can dodge Lynch's defense and plunge into the basket. At this time, Hill is competing with Walker, so that there is only one Okur under the basket to protect the basket. Not something he's good at.

Rodgers almost made a sharp shot. Every time he came to the basket and leaned on Okur's body to score the ball, the difficulty was not too high, but it was not easy for a small man of 1 meters After all, Okur is a big insider with a height of 91 meters and a weight of 2 kilograms. Rogers' ability to hit a layup while making physical contact can only be attributed to his technology.

Brown felt a bit of a headache. Although Rodgers was the best sixth man of the Celtics this season, his performance in every game was tepid, and it was rare to see him attacking like chicken blood.Lynch has absolutely nothing to do with him. Should Bell be replaced in advance?This time does not seem to be a good time to let him play.

But there seems to be no other way... Let Hill help defend?Perhaps when he just left, Walker will become active. Rodgers likes to attack with the ball does not mean that he is unwilling to pass the ball, otherwise O'Brien will replace him without hesitation.In this way, there is no need for Pierce to play at all, and the 76ers will collapse directly.

After seeing Bell play, O'Brien chuckled, which means that Rodgers' performance threatened the 76ers, and they had to send the best defensive experts on the perimeter to match up. To some extent, he has succeeded.O'Brien was well aware of Bell's defensive ability, so when he saw Rodgers being entangled by Bell and barely passing the ball to his teammates for two consecutive rounds, he waved his hand, and Pierce, who had rested off the court, went into battle. At the same time, Walker was replaced with Joe Johnson.

In this way, the Celtics' lineup became one big and four small, Batty sits on the inside, and Joe Johnson, Pierce, Rodgers and Anderson line up outside. Among other things, at least the mobility of the team is It has improved a lot.The existence of Hill seemed very embarrassing, and now no one could let him defend, and the little man had made him dizzy.

The Celtics' first and fourth juniors achieved very good results. By the time Brown switched to the starting lineup, the 76ers had already trailed by 42 points 55 to 13. Everyone looked dignified when they came on the court.It's not terrible to be behind, but the feeling of the tiger biting the hedgehog and having nowhere to bite makes people feel helpless. This is their home field!They feel a little sorry for the fans who bought tickets to watch the game at home, so their first task is to equalize the score.

But in many cases, the more you want to accomplish something, the easier it is to mess it up. The 76ers players who are eager to narrow the point difference start to get impatient. Each of their cooperation is very simple and rough, as long as there is a chance to barely shoot They will act resolutely, as if the whole world is saved by themselves, and the result is often a direct strike.

Brown was walking around on the sidelines, helpless. He didn't know what happened to the team. Could it be that he was really going to be pulled back by his opponent at home?Perhaps this will not affect the outcome of the series, but it will be a huge blow to morale.
