God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 383 The Spurs Also Have Loopholes
Losing to the Spurs at home made Brown feel quite embarrassed. Although he never expected to sweep his opponent 4-0, it was still very sad to lose to his opponent under the watchful eyes of more than 1 spectators in the league's first center arena.But after the press conference, he put the loss behind him and began to think about the lessons this game brought to his team.

Not being able to restrain the Spurs Twin Towers is of course the most important point. Of course, he never thought that he could kill the Spurs with a wonderful starter without a center for two consecutive games, but it is undeniable that the loss just now was entirely because there was no After defending against the explosion of the Spurs Twin Towers, they were finally forced to give it a go in the final attack more than 10 seconds before the end of the game.

But at the same time, Brown also keenly discovered a weakness of the Spurs, that is, the back line, to be precise, the point guard.The reason why they didn't show up in the Western Conference Finals is largely because the Lakers' No. 76 player is not very good. The two sides are half-baked, so the Spurs' point guards don't seem to have such serious problems.But compared with the [-]ers' guards, it is far behind. Not to mention Iverson and Snow, even Arenas can reach the No. [-] position, which is much better than the Spurs.

In this game, Popovich used three point guards successively, namely rookie Parker, 39-year-old veteran Terry Porter and combo guard Daniels.That's right, Daniels is a combo guard. It stands to reason that the head coach should like a player like him who can organize and score the most, but Daniels only played for 20 minutes. Putting it aside, Popovich has had to play him at the [-] for a long time.

So strictly speaking, the Spurs' orthodox point guards are only Parker and Porter. They are old and young, either too inexperienced or unable to keep up with their opponents.In fact, Popovich is still too superstitious about the experience of veterans. If the backcourt configuration can be rejuvenated, it may be easier for the Spurs to beat the Lakers to win the Western Conference championship this season.

In the past two seasons, Brown has insisted on the overall style of play, hoping that the players can play more pass and cut cooperation, and at the same time increase the team's firepower. In his opinion, this can maximize the overall strength of the team.But now it seems that facing the Spurs, Iverson will go back to the years when Iverson played singles with the ball and let them crush the Spurs' guards.

When he returned to the locker room, Brown had already collected his mood, looked at the players sitting in his position as if they had made a big mistake, and said with a smile: "It may not be a bad thing to lose this game." Good thing, at least we have seen the weakness of the Spurs, as long as we catch their weakness in the next game, it should be able to have a good effect."

Brown's words stunned most people in the locker room. They really didn't see what the Spurs had left behind in this game. In fact, only Chang Wei guessed Brown's thoughts. The old man looked at Iverson The eyes of Arenas also proved his conjecture.Sometimes Chang Wei admires Brown very much. The old man is worthy of being one of the top coaches in NBA history. He has a vicious vision. He can see the flaws of the Spurs' No. [-] position in one game. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Sure enough, in the training session on the second day, Brown strengthened the role of the point guard in the offensive round. Iverson and Arenas, one on the main team and one on the bench, became the scoring arrows of the team. It rarely appears in the training sessions.Now the 76ers players and assistant coaches understand that the next game is to work hard on the back line?The Spurs twin towers put too much pressure on them, and no one thought of going to the guards.

As the protagonists, Iverson and Arenas obviously also guessed the arrangement of the head coach. For the two scoring madmen, there is no better task than this.For this reason, Brown adjusted the starting lineup again. Snow replaced Reid as the starter. His task was to organize the team's offense, and all the firing rights were handed over to Iverson; the backcourt combination of the rotation lineup was Reed and Alli. Nurse and Dalembert are also among them. Brown's idea is to let Dalembert go to the high position to support more, and Reid will open up space outside the three-point line. In other words, they are in the tactical system. The role is to create opportunities for Arenas.

It is also thanks to the good atmosphere in the 76ers team, and Reid and Dalembert are also the kind of players with good tempers. If you want Iverson or Arenas to fight for others, it will be strange if they don't turn their backs!At this time, Brown is very grateful that Chang Wei strongly advocated choosing Arenas. Although this kid failed to win the best rookie of the season, other rookies in this year could not achieve his skillful breakthrough. Even if he wants to beat He is a very important point for the Spurs.

Chang Wei believes that Brown can hold the Spurs by the throat this time, because the Spurs' back line is indeed their biggest weakness this season, none of them.Parker is still just a rookie and not the MVP of the finals in his previous life. He averaged no more than 10 points per game.

Besides, Iverson has been working hard to suppress his desire to attack in the past few seasons. He wants to play more like an orthodox point guard. In addition, his teammates are also very good. He doesn't need to put all the burden on himself. shoulder.But if he uses all his skills, the fledgling Parker is absolutely unstoppable, even if they were the top point guards in the league in the first ten years of the 21st century in their previous lives, experience and talent cannot be easily compensated. .

In the previous games, although the 76ers' outside players got a lot of shots, most of them were created by themselves through running, and the real singles were completely negligible.Although doing so can improve the hit rate, it also reduces the opponent's defensive strength, because they only need to compete with you.Parker is known as the "French little sports car", which is completely worthy of Iverson in terms of speed, not to mention two people, one with the ball and the other without the ball.

Chang Wei can already imagine what kind of devastation the Spurs defenders will encounter in the next game. Their age configuration is unreasonable. Now if the 76ers target them again, it is already very good to be able to play at a normal level.And looking at Brown's appearance in the training session now, he is really going to be caught and beaten to death, let's pay a moment of silence for the Spurs guards!
