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

In the commentary seat, after the two commentators saw that the game entered overtime, their bodies leaned back and relaxed. Maxi glanced at Curtis next to him, "Russell, which team do you think will be played in overtime?" Does the team have a big chance of winning?"

Curtis spread his hands and shook his head, "I don't really see it. In fact, I am more optimistic about the 76ers. The Wizards have not been in a good state recently, and tonight's starting time is basically close to 40 minutes. Overtime There might be some physical issues, but..."

Maxi followed up on what Curtis said, "But what?"

"Li Kaiming's fast-break dunk after that steal made me a little unsure. He didn't seem to have any physical problems at all. In the time period of overtime, when he really struggled with strength and key shots , Li Kaiming is undoubtedly the most powerful guy on the field!" Curtis expressed his thoughts.

This statement was also agreed by Maxi, "I don't think there is any need to repeat Li Kaiming's key ball ability. The question now is how the Wizards will arrange their defense in overtime. After Shad Lewis, the entire team was bigger than the opponent, but they couldn't keep up with the 76ers in terms of speed. Only Iguodala scored 15 points against Lewis in the second half of the game. If the defense is still like this in overtime, there is a big problem!"

After a pause, Maxey continued, "Of course the 76ers also have problems that need to be solved urgently. The Wizards certainly have poor defense, but the 76ers' attack at critical moments obviously has obvious shortcomings. If the tactics fail, they should Who to give the ball to? Iguodala or John Wall, or even Ju Holiday? This is a problem that Doug Collins needs to solve. If he can't find a solution during the break, he may die. Under the powerful firepower of the Wizards."

The commentator on the scene still knows the ball very well, and he can see the Achilles' pupils on both sides at a glance, the Wizards' defense and the 76ers' offense, which team can hide their weaknesses and attack the opponent's weaknesses, That victory will fall into whose hands.

Next to the Wizards' bench, Sanders was writing and drawing on the tactical board while talking to the players about the next precautions. As for making adjustments to the lineup, Sanders didn't even think about it. The Wizards' bench is the worst in the league. What can be changed?Is it possible to replace Lewis, who performed well in the second half, and then take El Thornton, who grabbed a backcourt rebound in the first half?

Whether it is from a tactical point of view or from a worldly point of view, it will not work.

Besides, the Wizards' poor defense is doomed from the root cause of the team's lineup. If it can be solved during the 2-minute intermission, then Sanders has long been the most powerful protagonist in the NBA. coached.

As for the 76ers, Collins also has no way to make adjustments to the lineup. Although they have more choices in playing players, the current starting lineup is already the strongest scoring lineup that the 76ers can come up with.

During the intermission, the head coaches of the two teams actually put their minds on the defensive strategy in the overtime game. Although the Wizards' defense was terrible, the 76ers' outside shooting No, so Sanders ordered to stick to the inside and shoot a three-pointer for the opponent!

Doug Collins on the opposite side gave his players thousands of reminders that he must not leave open space for the Wizards' outside line, especially Li Kaiming, he must not be allowed to shoot three-pointers!

After a short inter-section break, under the reminder of the on-site referees and staff, the two sides took up their starting lineups again, and started the final competition for the victory of the game.

The two sides came to the middle circle to jump the ball. The Tony brothers threw it with one hand. The centers of both sides jumped almost at the same time. In the end, the center of the 76ers, Hawes, was superior. With a height of 216, he defeated Brac with a slight advantage Helped the 76 team to win the first ball in overtime.

John Wall takes the ball from Iguodala and dribbles up the court. The 76 is always the last option in the Sixers playbook. Everyone else starts to screen each other. Hawes broke the screen to the free throw line, then faced the help defense and passed the ball to Iguodala on the right perimeter.

After Lewis assisted in defense, he immediately returned to his position, but his lateral movement was unbearable to look at directly. After Iguodala got the ball, he passed Lewis in one step, and then broke through to the penalty area and passed it because Li Kaiming assisted in defense. Captain Brand.

After receiving the ball, Brand made a mid-range shot and the ball hit the board!

106 is better than 108!

The Wizards served, Hinrich dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming and Blatche set up a double screen at the top of the arc, Hinrich directly broke through to the inside line with the help of a solid cover like a mountain, behind John Wall Chasing wildly, Iguodala also came to help defend, Hinrich faked a layup, but actually passed the ball to Lewis who was emptied in the corner, and the latter shot directly after receiving the ball, and returned the three-pointer!

109 is better than 108!

The 76ers coach Doug Collins on the sidelines gritted his teeth angrily. The Wizards' three-pointers are too difficult to defend!

The 76ers attacked from the bottom line. After Wall went to the frontcourt, with the help of Iguodala's cover, he broke through to Lewis to attract double-teams, and then passed the ball to Juholidi on the outside. The latter hesitated to catch the ball, and then A three-point shot missed, the rebound was accepted by Lewis and handed over to Hinrich.

The 76ers still quickly returned to defense, not giving the Wizards any chance to push back, and the game fell into a positional battle again.

Brand had already started to prevent Li Kaiming from catching the ball after overtime. It seems that Collins specifically asked him during the break to try not to let Li Kaiming catch the ball.

Since you won't let me play with the ball, then I will use my off-ball skills. Li Kaiming first moved towards Hinrich, making Brand think he was going to catch the ball hand-to-hand, and then suddenly reversed Running, he directly got rid of Brand and stepped into the three-point line!

The entire defensive formation of the 76ers shrunk subconsciously. Hinrich had quick eyesight and quick hands.

The advantage of high passing is that it is not easy to be intercepted, but the disadvantage is that the passing speed is slow and it is easy to lose opportunities. When Li Kaiming got the ball, the 76ers center Hawes, small forward Iguodala and the other corner The three Juholedi defending Nick Young all turned their heads to look at his position. As long as Li Kaiming has the intention to break through the penalty area, these three people will appear in the penalty area at the same time to protect their own basket!

And this is what Collins came up with during the intermission. You can't over-help defense, but you can't let Li Kaiming blast at the basket, so only this kind of tactic with a little 2-3 help defense feeling in it is useful, but The biggest disadvantage of this tactic is that it can't prevent mid-range shots, especially mid-range shots from the free throw line.

However, based on Collins' understanding of Li Kaiming, apart from throwing all kinds of fancy three-pointers, the rest of this guy is to go to the basket. A defensive strategy with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

There is no best tactic, only the most suitable tactic!

Collins crossed his arms around his chest, confidently preparing to see Li Kaiming's attack be blocked.

But next time, the smile on Collins' face froze!

After catching the ball, Li Kaiming didn't mindlessly go to the basket. Instead, he observed the situation first and found that although the three people on the opposite side all tended to come to help defend, but at the position where he was catching the ball, no one took the initiative. Step forward to defend, if you want to find an open space on the field at this time, the position he is standing in is the biggest open space!

After discovering this, Li Kaiming took off without hesitation!

The three 76ers players standing on the bottom line were dumbfounded!

Didn't the coach say that Li Kaiming would not shoot in this position?What is this?

With no defense, with Li Kaiming's mid-range shooting attributes, this kind of ball is basically one for one, two for one double, 2 points and a steady win, 111 to 108!

In the commentary booth, Maxi was a little surprised when he saw Li Kaiming make a mid-range shot after catching the ball, "I thought this guy Li was going to go in and dunk Hawes. I prepared the commentary in my heart!"

"You can pull it down! I think you want to see Li Kaiming take a hat!" Curtis rolled his eyes and said.

Less than 3 minutes before the end of the game, the 76ers served to the frontcourt. When they were behind, they needed a star to stand up. As the only All-Star player in the current 76ers team, Iguodala took the initiative to stand up and take the ball. Singled out Lewis.

However, as a veteran who has played for more than ten years, Lewis has very rich experience, so when he defended Iguodala, he directly let the latter take a step, and then covered the latter with his long arms.

Iguodala dribbled in and broke through, and the step left by Lewis played a role. Iguodala couldn't pass Lewis with the ball at all, and finally shot a turnaround jumper from the waist to hit the iron!

Blatche picked up the rebound, Hinrich dribbled to the frontcourt, Li Kaiming and Lewis stepped forward to cover, Hinrich dribbled the ball past the defender on the line, and gave the ball to Lewis who bounced outside, because the back The player played steadily in the second half, the 76ers had to let Iguodala go to chase and defend, and Li Kaiming took the opportunity to get to the waist on the right side, Hinrich directly gave him the ball, and ran towards the top of the arc at the same time !

In the commentary seat, Maxi was a little excited when he saw this scene, "The Wizards used a two-man cover tactic to clear the space for Li Kaiming and create a one-on-one opportunity for him! Will the 76ers choose to double-team?"

The nearest defender to Li Kaiming was Iguodala, but Iguodala was defending against Lewis, so he didn't dare to let it go!

Doug Collins on the sidelines signaled Iguodala not to act rashly, so the task of defending Li Kaiming fell on Brand's shoulders.

Seeing that no one shared the pressure with him, Brand took a deep breath, opened his arms, stood half a step away from Li Kaiming, and then focused on the latter's movements.

Seeing that the 76ers had no way to double-team himself, Li Kaiming knew it was time for him to perform!

He is currently in a 45-degree direction, one step inside the three-point line. Li Kaiming first used a fake shot to shake Brand, but the latter didn't seem to react much, so Li Kaiming directly dropped the ball to break through after receiving the ball. Take a big step towards Brand's side.

Brand mobilized his muscles and immediately made a sliding step, while stretching out his arms to interfere in front of Li Kaiming.

If it was Li Kaiming from before, I'm afraid he would choose to go straight to the inside to kill at this time, but now he will make an easier choice. After taking a step, Li Kaiming did not continue to break through, but directly joined the ball with both hands, and then made an emergency stop Jump shot!

Brand realized that time was running out, so he could only make a symbolic jump and cover Li Kaiming's eyes with his hands.

Li Kaiming adjusted the trajectory in the air, flicked his wrist and made a hit!

113 is better than 108!
