NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

The intermission of more than 20 minutes ended quickly, and the big screen at the scene re-transferred the signal to the commentary booth after playing the advertisement of the official NBA partner.

Tonight's commentary team is two white commentators Russell Curtis and Sean Maxey, the former is a slightly fat old man wearing glasses, and the latter is a middle-aged man in a black suit.

Russell Curtis was the first to speak after the on-site signal was transferred back, "The performance of the Wizards in the first half can be said to rely on the defense. Chaos, except for Li Kaiming, no one shot more than 50.00%, let's see what adjustments Sanders and the Wizards will make in the second half."

After leading the fans at the scene to review the outrageous performance of the Wizards in the first half with a simple sentence, Curtis turned around and asked Maxi who was sitting beside him, "Sean, now the Wizards are 76 points behind the 14ers at halftime, what do you think?" Do they still have a chance to play the game out of suspense?"

"If the Wizards maintain their offensive performance in the first half, it would be nice if they don't get slaughtered by the 76ers at home." Sean Maxey didn't give the Wizards any face, even though this is the home of the Wizards , "They want to shift the direction of the game to their own advantage, so they must make changes in the team's lineup!"

Although Curtis also knew the answer to this question, in order to increase the interaction between commentators, he still asked this question on behalf of the fans, "Which areas do you think the Wizards need to make adjustments, and how?"

Maxi loosened his tie slightly with his hand, then turned to look at Curtis and said, "First of all, they must strengthen their defense against the inside line. In the first half, the 76ers' two inside lines, Brandon and Hawes, were in front of them. The 76ers' outside shooting is not that good, and the Wizards can double-team more decisively."

Curtis nodded, and what Maxi said was basically what he thought in his heart.

"Also on the offensive end, it may need a little lineup adjustment. Al Thorton's touch is too bad tonight, and he can't guard Andre Iguodala, so if I were Sanders , I might replace El Thorton and let Trevor Booker come up to try, anyway, I can’t prevent it, so I just bring up a good hand, Booker’s size is enough to match Iguodala, it’s experience It is still lacking, but there is no solution." Maxi said a lot.

And just after Maxi finished speaking, the game had already started. The two commentators looked at the court. When they saw the Wizards' lineup on the court, they were stunned for an instant!

"I'm sorry, the Wizards actually let the team's new aid Rashad Lewis start in place of Al Thornton in the second half!" Curtis couldn't believe his eyes.

And Maxi next to him is not much better, his eyes are wide open, as if he saw something extraordinary, "Sanders is so bold, I'm afraid Rashad didn't even realize his position when he came to the Wizards." , he actually dared to directly let the latter play at such a critical moment!"

And the 76ers coach Doug Collins, who was standing across the court, was also dumbfounded after seeing that the Wizards actually took Rashad Lewis directly!

As the head coach of a team, the necessary tactical deduction ability must be possessed, so during the intermission, he was already ready to take El Thorton down, because if such a player appeared In his team, he will definitely let the latter end.

But what he never expected was that Sanders, a stubborn old man, actually replaced Lewis directly!

It's not because of how strong Lewis is, but it's very detrimental to the operation of the team to directly bring up a player who is not familiar with the team's tactics. Collins, as the head coach, knows this too well, so he Surprised by Sanders' behavior, even a little puzzled!

If you use an emoji to describe Collins' current expression, it is the subway, the old man and the mobile phone, but here it has become a stadium, the old man and the tactical board.

Collins was very suspicious. Did Sanders, a bad old man, go to the doctor in a hurry?

Just when almost everyone was shocked by the bold changes made by the Wizards, the live game officially started!

When the ball was jumped in the first quarter, the 76ers attacked first, so the Wizards served in the third quarter.

The current lineup of the Wizards is starting the original starting lineup and replacing Thornton with Lewis, which means that Lewis is playing the small forward position.

The consequence of this is that the current lineup of the Wizards is completely a super-large lineup. Small forward Lewis is 208 tall, which is taller than the opposing power forward Brand. Power forward Li Kaiming is 210, which is about the same as the center of the average team. , center Brac 213, ordinary center size.

Such three super-sized players are placed inside, even if they are not good at defense, they have to weigh before the opponent breaks through.

Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt after receiving the ball, played a pick-and-roll with Li Kaiming and then rushed inside the three-point line, but he was forced out by the opponent after only two steps in. The 76ers' defense was too tight. Needs a little lubrication to get in.

And this lubricating effect, of course, has to be handed over to Li Kaiming. After Hinrich was forced to stop halfway, he passed the ball to the outside line.

After Li Kaiming got the ball, he stepped on the three-point line. Facing Brand's defense, he first faked a shot. Although Brand kept reminding himself not to jump, he still couldn't help taking a step forward. In fact, it's not his fault, the main reason is that he has been shot by Li Kaiming too many times, and it has become his conditioned reflex to see the latter shoot and jump forward.

For Li Kaiming, who is full of offensive attributes, any small mistake by the defender is a huge loophole in his eyes, and Brand's small step is no exception.

The moment Brandon's front foot hit the ground, Li Kaiming suddenly started, and his powerful explosive power allowed him to directly lead the latter by half a body, and he rushed into the three-point line in one step, and was almost close to the free throw line.

The 76ers' perimeter defensive rotation is also quite fast. The moment Li Kaiming broke through and passed Brand, the small forward Iguodala in the bottom corner shrank directly to the penalty area, and at the same time the shooting guard Ju Holiday on the same side of the perimeter also went directly to the penalty area. Li Kaiming surrounded him.

Faced with such a siege, Li Kaiming calmly changed direction with a low hand, dodged Holiday's hand trying to steal, and then strode directly into the penalty area!

As a result, Iguodala, who was still hesitating on the bottom line to double-team, immediately gave up thinking and rushed towards Li Kaiming.

And Li Kaiming was waiting for this moment!

When Iguodala was fully charged towards him, Lewis, who had just entered the field from the bottom corner, was directly emptied. Li Kaiming took a glance from the corner of his eye and found that the latter squatted down early and opened his hands, ready to catch the ball. Prepare!

After seeing this scene, Li Kaiming was not polite anymore. He controlled the ball with his left hand and flicked it vigorously, and it flew into the hands of Lewis in the bottom corner.

Lewis, as one of the players in the history of the forward position who is best at corner three-pointers, may not even have one. He will never let go of such an opportunity, and Li Kaiming's pass is just right, like two There is a tacit understanding between individuals who have been teammates for many years.

After catching the ball, it was Lewis' familiar rhythm. Muscle memory allowed Lewis to shoot directly on the spot. The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and then fell into the basket with a swish!

41 is better than 52!

After the ball was scored, Lewis clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, celebrating his first goal in the Wizards, and Sanders, who was standing next to the Wizards bench, made the same move!

Let Lewis play small forward directly. This adjustment is actually very crazy. Sanders has also been under a lot of pressure. If he does not make this adjustment, then if he loses this game today, the fans can still say that it is because The player is too pitted to shoot a goal.

But if this adjustment is made and the team loses, the four-game losing streak will belong to Sanders. After all, the fans can say that he disrupted the team's tactics with a temporary change.

Fortunately, Lewis and Li Kaiming did not disappoint him. The first goal in the second half made Lewis surpass Al Thorton in value tonight.

At the same time, after seeing this scene, Doug Collins, the head coach of the 76ers, had a bad premonition in his heart. He gestured towards Iguodala, indicating that the latter should not overfill the defense.

The 76ers attacked, and after passing the ball a few times from the outside, there were no good opportunities. In fact, there were opportunities, but the 76ers' three-pointers were ridiculously bad. Brand, who performed well in the first half.

As soon as Brand got the ball, Lewis on the same side directly outflanked him. He and Li Kaiming stretched out their arms at the same time, covering Brand tightly. The latter had no choice but to dribble the ball. Only then did he pass the ball to the outside, and his own offensive rhythm was directly disrupted.

With little time left, John Wall on the outside shot directly after receiving the ball and hit the iron with a three-pointer. Brac squeezed Hawes to get the rebound.

The Wizards attacked, and Hinrich took the ball to the frontcourt and directly handed the ball to Li Kaiming. The latter faced Brand with a big change of luck, and directly passed Brand, and the 76ers double-teamed. It was faster than before. Due to the outrageous touch of the Wizards outside in the first half, the 76ers' double-teaming was still very strong.

Li Kaiming broke through one step in and there was no chance. He threw the ball directly to Nick Young on the outside. Straight hit!

43 is better than 52!

Curtis in the commentary exclaimed, "After coming back from the third quarter, the Wizards seem to have regained their touch. They beat the 76ers 5-0, closing the point difference to single digits!"

Doug Collins wanted to call a timeout, but held back. He didn't think it was time to call a timeout to remind his players.

So in the next quarter, the Wizards made Collins pay for it. When the latter reacted and wanted to call a timeout to interrupt the momentum of the Wizards, it was too late!

In the third quarter of the game, the Wizards felt fully recovered and scored 35 points in a single quarter, only 3 points less than the previous two quarters.

李凯明打满了第三节，得到5分2篮板4助攻，尼克杨外线三分爆发，单节三分3中2得到11分，而下半场首发出战的刘易斯也成为了一个奇兵，单节5中3，三分球3中2得到8分1篮板。

而76人的内线则是直接被奇才队的包夹给防死了，上半场无可匹敌的布兰德第三节4中0得到2分，霍伊斯2中0就抢到了1个后场篮板，其余数据全部挂0。
