Chapter 322 A Slap
Before all the starting players of the 76ers appeared on the field, Brown had given instructions to them. To be precise, he made a request to Reed alone, that is, stop working on Szczerbiak and turn on the offensive firepower with all his strength. And the Lakers are attacking and attacking.It stands to reason that Brown can send out the small lineup that made great achievements last season, but he is still a stubborn academic coach in his bones. When he can use a normal lineup, he will never go slanted.
Chang Wei is also very helpless about the old coach's persistence, but it is impossible for him to persuade Brown to give up his long-standing coaching style, even if such a coaching style will soon be eliminated by the development trend of the league.In fact, Chang Wei admires Brown's persistence, and it is precisely this kind of persistence that he was able to make the Pistons the most unpleasant iron-blooded army in the league in his previous life.
Sure enough, after not paying too much attention to the defensive end, Reed's firepower began to recover, and his huge containment power on the outside also made the Lakers a little bit overwhelmed.Moreover, the Lakers' backup point guard Richmond has exposed his oldness and slowness. He let Iverson roar past him time and time again, completely unable to make any effective response.
Under the leadership of Iverson and Reed, the 76ers quickly equalized the score, but they were unable to complete the overtake. Mutombo's strength has been greatly reduced this season without Chang Wei's props. There was nothing he could do against O'Neal, and he could only watch the Sharks keep grabbing offensive rebounds inside and then make up the ball.
Lewis obviously can't help, even if he has tried his best to increase his muscles during the offseason, that small body is not enough for O'Neal, let alone grab rebounds with Mutombo up.In order to ensure rebounds, Brown chose to replace Teyron Hill and Mutombo to partner inside with 3 minutes and 28 seconds left in the second quarter, hoping to ensure that rebounds were grabbed first, and then consider the team After all, rebounds are very important to any team.
Of course, Dalembert performed well when he came off the bench before, grabbing a total of 5 rebounds, including 2 offensive rebounds, which is already considered commendable for a rookie.But Brown still intends to observe again. Now is the critical moment for the 76ers to chase points. He dare not rashly let the rookie go up to face the Lakers' starting insider.
After replacing Hill, although the 76ers' offensive firepower has declined, it is still within an acceptable range. At least now the 76ers' rebounding is no longer at a complete disadvantage.However, at the end of the first half, they were still 52 points behind 60 to 8, and the 52 points in the half can only be said to have not yet reached the normal level of the 76ers.
During the intermission, Brown went into a rage in the locker room. He yelled at the players: "Are you still in vacation mode? Look at you one by one on the field like a soft-footed shrimp, I really feel for you Shame! How dare you say that you are the defending champion? I know this is an away game. We also encountered a lot of difficulties in the Staples Center in the finals last season, but this is not the reason for the lackluster performance! 24 in the second half Minutes, can you please show some energy? I don’t want to start our new season with a failure, because our goal is still the championship!”
In Brown's view, there is nothing wrong with the team's tactical system. The main reason is that the players' game attitude is not correct. Those who don't know think they have been fooling around all summer.So he didn't make any adjustments to the tactics, but tried to arouse the morale of the players. Brown believes that as long as the morale can be improved, defeating the Lakers will not be a problem at all.
After the old handsome hair dryer performance, the 76ers finally showed the demeanor of the defending champion at the beginning of the second half. After Iverson and Reed hit consecutive three-pointers, the 76ers played a 12-0 scoring climax, which was completed in an instant. Go-ahead.Their stormy outside shooting directly stunned the Lakers, especially Szczerbiak, who performed well in the first half, did not respond at all during the 76ers' scoring climax, and was even caught by the inside. Germany succeeded in shooting consecutively.
Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, Zen Master's face turned livid. He was very sure of winning the game in the first half, but he didn't expect that the situation on the field would change suddenly within 2 minutes of the second half.Although they are only 4 points behind now, the 76ers have a very clear advantage. This situation is the most difficult for the team coach.
Although the Zen Master likes philosophy very much, and he behaves very Buddhist in many cases, anyone who has read his resume will know what kind of guy he is in his bones.Zen master has always been worried about the loss to the 76ers in the finals of last season, so this year's offseason has added two generals, Szczerbiak and Richmond, and also made minor repairs to the lineup. The goal is to regain the championship this season, and the opening game against the 76ers is considered by him to be the beginning of washing away the shame.
However, now he has been slapped severely by the 76ers. Szczerbiak is really good, and he is fully capable of being the third scoring point next to Kobe and O'Neal. From his performance, he can vaguely see how he was rampaging with Mullin and Hardaway in the Warriors.But they still need to continue to run in with the original old players. As long as they are a little bit more experienced, they can immediately see that the Lakers still have a lot to improve.
Relatively speaking, the lineup of the 76ers is more stable. Although Brown hopes that the two rookies Arenas and Dalembert will make some contributions in the new season, at least their starting lineup is still the same as last season. Similarly, this means that they don't need time to get used to it, and the power they can exert is naturally much greater than that of the Lakers.
However, such a situation will not make Zen master surrender. Now the Lakers are not far behind. With the scoring ability of Kobe and O'Neal, they can even out the difference in minutes.But the key question is that tying the score and winning the game are two different things. Judging from the mental state of the 76ers players from the third quarter, their morale has improved a lot, which makes Zen Master feel a little tricky. Do you want to try the new lineup like last season's finals?
But Zen Master quickly thought of one of the opponent's weaknesses, that is, the inside line. Mutombo's ability to control the rebound is not as good as before, and it is impossible to protect the basket. The fundamental reason for partnering with him on the court is that if O'Neal insists on opening up the situation inside, he may also get good results.
