Looking at Kidd's statistics, Chang Wei suddenly thought of a good way to limit him, if Kidd was no different from him in his previous life. Although he was the second-highest all-time triple-double in the league when he retired, Kidd missed more triple-doubles in his career, and most of the triple-doubles he didn't complete were due to insufficient scoring.

In fact, Kidd's career shooting percentage was only 40%, and his three-point shooting rate was only 34.9%, and scoring was actually a problem for him. Although Kidd also scored a career-high 43 points, he also scored a lot in single digits in a single game, at least now he is not a guy who is good at shooting, and all his previous points came from breakthrough layups and small throws, without any mid-to-long-range shots at all, and a few jump shots were also very shameless to smash the frame.

Chang Wei walked up to Brown and whispered, "Coach, why don't we guard against others and let Kidd score?" ”

Brown's eyes lit up when he heard this, his thinking was already a little limited before, and he didn't expect to do this at all. Although Kidd has scored 18 points in this game, he is the second-highest scoring player on the Nets team, but his offensive firepower is really not very good, many times he can shoot, but he has to pass the ball to his teammates, is this guy afraid of offense?

Brown bluntly raised his question, and Chang Wei said categorically after a little thought: "I don't think Kidd is afraid to score, but shooting is really not his strong point, as long as we choke other people and then let Samuel pay attention to protect the basket, it is very likely that Kidd's play will be limited, so that we can beat the Nets more easily." ”

"That big forward position......" Brown just opened his mouth when he realized he was asking a stupid question, Lewis's defense was negligible, but he could have replaced Lewis with Teylon Hill and let him play against Martin's muscular man. Hill may not have the amazing physical talent of Martin, but his tough attitude can make up for his physical shortcomings. Brown thought for a moment and smiled and said, "It's a great idea, we can try it, and it would be best if we could limit Kidd." ”

In fact, it is because this game is only the first game of the series, and the overall strength of the 76ers is better than that of the Nets, otherwise Brown would not dare to play like this. If it was the fifth battle of Tianwang Mountain or even the battle of the seventh battle, he would never dare to make a rash change. Brown is such a person, he is more flexible in many cases, but he is quite rigid in many times, that is, Chang Wei gradually changed the stubbornness in his personality after he joined, otherwise he would not have paid attention to this suggestion at all according to his previous style.

When Lewis was substituted, he was a little confused, because he played well in this game, already scoring 15 points and 6 rebounds, and was an important firepower point for the team's perimeter, but why did he have to replace himself at such a critical time in the fourth quarter? Now that I don't have any problems with my physical fitness, it's not the time to rest, right?

Seeing Lewis's dazed look, Chang Wei took the initiative to high-five him, and whispered: "Rashard, don't think too much, this is a tactical need, Coach Brown and I plan to try a new tactic to see if we can minimize Kidd's influence, in our new idea, Hill is much better than you in the fourth position, after all, his defensive ability is better than yours." Of course, I'm not saying you can't play well, but if you want to carry Martin on the inside, you have to rely on Hill, so you should hurry up and rest! ”

Lewis shrugged, Chang Wei really couldn't refute this reason, it is true that his defense is very average, especially in the face of a muscular man like Martin. Since the head coach wants to strengthen the interior defense, Hill's role is definitely much bigger than him, so it is normal to replace him, and hopefully the new routine can help the team......

Scott didn't see the use of Brown's substitution, he just thought the opponent wanted to improve his control over the rebounds while also improving his defense under the basket. But he soon found that Kidd's role on the pitch was starting to diminish significantly, and he couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so how could he help the team? When Kidd's layup was blocked by Bowler Dalemm, Scott's face darkened, and he seemed to have discovered something, is the 76ers going to scrap their entire team's system?

Well...... It's impossible to scrap, but it's clearly a huge impact on the Nets because there's no one left to score. Bale watched Van Horne, Hill was immersed in a physical confrontation with Martin, Reid also struggled to entangle with Kidders, Mark Lodge? Well, this guy doesn't have any scoring ability at all, and now the Nets really have to rely on Kidd.

But Scott quickly reacted that Kidd is not a good scorer, and he can go through the basket to make a layup, but when it comes to dribbling and shooting, he has a bit of a pain. Scott saw very clearly that almost all of Kidd's shots in this game were from close range or even under the basket, and none of them were from mid-to-long distance, making it difficult for him to shoot and score.

Kidd is also struggling right now, he wants to pass the ball, but every teammate has a 76ers player next to him, and even if they run aggressively, the opponent can change the defense infinitely, as long as he can ensure one-on-one, so he has no good point at all right now. What else can I do in that case? I had to bite the bullet myself, if I could still score points.

But Kidd suddenly found that his previous routine of breaking to the basket didn't work so well, and Dalem Porter completely made the basket a no-fly zone, and Mark Loach was basically no threat, so he could focus most of his energy on protecting the basket. Whenever Kidd bursts to the basket, he always has to face his giant spirit palm, although he has tried to avoid being blocked, but interference is indispensable, and Kidd's shooting percentage under the basket has dropped significantly, resulting in the Nets' threat on the offensive end is basically negligible.

Brown is satisfied, and that's what a defensive coach would like to see, and even though the 76ers have become accustomed to winning on offense over the past two seasons, his dedication to defense hasn't faded. Taking advantage of the Nets' offensive difficulties, the 76ers took the opportunity to extend their advantage, and finally they defeated the opponent 102-91 to win the game, and in the last 7 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Nets only scored a total of 13 points, which is far below their normal level, although Kidd cut a triple-double of 21 points, 10 rebounds and 17 assists, but it could not save the fate of the team's loss, which is the normal gap between the overall strength of the two sides, and the first half seems to be just an illusion.
