Chapter 289

Under normal circumstances, Brown will give the players more or less a vacation after the expedition, but this time it will not work.Although the two sides fought fiercely until the last moment of the fourth quarter in the sixth game, and the whole game was also very intense, everyone's physical strength was on the red light, but Brown only gave everyone a half-day rest, and returned to Philadelphia that night. Going back to the training hall.

Everyone has no complaints about the head coach's arrangement. The loss to the Lakers at the last minute of the game made everyone feel suffocated. They urgently need to vent it on the training ground, and at the same time prepare for the tiebreaker.But after arriving at the training ground at 7 p.m., Brown's first words surprised everyone except Chang Wei.

"Originally, I should have distributed the main and substitute players according to the previous lineup, but now I plan to adjust it. The main yellow vests are-Dikembe, Rashad, Michael, Eric and Ah. Len!"

When Brown read the first two names, everyone was just a little surprised why he had to start from the fifth position today, but they didn't take it to heart.But soon they knew why Brown had to change the order of reading the roster, because he was going to match the team with a brand new main lineup that had never been used for 1 minute throughout the season!

Everyone turned their heads to look at Iverson, Snow and Reed, but they found that these three were also confused. You must know that every time they played before, they were matched in pairs, or Iverson Gas Nuo's regular starting backcourt last season was either a pure offensive combination of Iverson and Reid, or a rotation lineup of Snogarrid. They have never played together this season, not once, even in Brown never put them together during the practice session.

For the vast majority of players and assistant coaches present, they thought Brown was crazy. It was a taboo to temporarily change formations during the tiebreaker, but this time Brown did a better job. It is a three-back combination that has never been partnered together. If Brown's words and deeds are not normal, everyone will think that he is confused.

Seeing the shocked and even terrified expressions of the players, Brown smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just trying out the new rotation lineup, it doesn't mean I'm going to start with this lineup. You know , A key factor in deciding who will start is physical condition and training attitude, I will not announce the specific starting list until before the game.”

Brown's explanation not only did not dispel the doubts in the players' hearts, but made them even more uneasy. If you plan to use this lineup, what are you going to practice?Have nothing to do when you are full?But if Brown is telling the truth that he only intends to use this lineup during the rotation time, it is still acceptable, at least not to worry about being blown up at the beginning.

After training, everyone found that Brown was only here to set the tone, and it was Chang Wei who really led the players to adapt to the new trio.In fact, Chang Wei has long thought about how these three people should be positioned, and has already obtained Brown's consent. Of course, there will be no exquisite tactics in a short time. As long as they get used to each other's existence, it will be considered a success. up.

It stands to reason that the positioning of the horn tactics is very appropriate. Snow holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Iverson and Reed stand at the two bottom corners respectively, but in this way, Iverson's powerful breakthrough ability will be directly wasted. If it is lost, he will be regarded as a pure shooter. Although his shooting is also very good, breakthrough is the instinct that Iverson lives on and goes deep into the bone marrow.Therefore, Chang Wei's position for the three of them is to have Iverson and Snow stand at the top of the arc and play consecutive pick-and-rolls, while Reed is cruising outside and waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

The advantage of doing this is to give full play to the characteristics of Iverson's breakthrough. At the same time, Snow can also share the pressure of organizing the offense. After Lewis and Mutombo perform pick-and-roll for them respectively, the inside line will undoubtedly be empty. He and Snow left an incomparably huge space for attacking.After Lewis and Mutombo pick and roll, one can roll out and the other can kill in, creating more shooting points for the assaulters, and once the Lakers' defense is disrupted, Reed can get a shot from the outside.

As for the defensive end, Chang Wei can only ask them to do their best. Except for Mutombo to protect the basket, the others must switch defenses in time on the outside and in the middle distance. At the same time, try not to switch Iverson or Reed to Kobe. In front of them, this way they will not only consume energy on the defensive end, but also easily allow Kobe to get easy shots.

At the beginning, the five players on the main team were still a little uncomfortable, especially Lewis, who was still too young for Mutombo. You know, when you make moves, you will always take a slow beat, causing the offensive rhythm of the entire lineup to become stumbling.Chang Weihu yelled at him several times, and then he slowly grasped the timing of each link, and the attack of the main force began to become smoother.

In fact, it is Reed who is most suitable for this lineup, because his job is not much different from before. He runs on the outside and then catches and shoots.The only change is that there are not as many teammates covering him as before. Strictly speaking, there is only Lewis alone, because Mutombo is going to the inside to respond after continuous pick-and-rolls, and Lewis is the one who bounces to the outside. It's not that Reid didn't let Lewis cover before, and there is nothing wrong with it except that he is easy to be pushed away.

Iverson is also very happy, because Snow's existence has given him a large part of the organization's tasks, which allows him to devote more energy to the offense.Although Iverson is the starting point guard for the 76ers, he has the heart of a shooting guard in his point guard body, and he prefers to do everything by himself than sort out the offense.It doesn't matter to Snow, he is a team player, as long as he is willing to do things that are good for the team, he gave up the starting shooting guard position to Reed at the beginning, and now he forms a team with Iverson and Reed. The same goes for the back three, which he doesn't mind.

For Brown, as long as this combination can play decently on the court, it is very good. The ultimate goal of any tactic is to create shooting opportunities. It doesn’t matter what the bottle looks like, as long as the wine inside is good. The same goes for the lineup of guards. As long as you can create shooting opportunities, who cares how you position?
