Chapter 342: Take the lead in changing formations

After learning that the Nets defeated the Pistons to advance to the second round, Chang Wei was glad that Carter was still playing alongside Maddie in Toronto, and Jefferson had not grown up. If they build a troika of Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson like they did in their previous lives, and add important role players like Martin, the 76ers will have a hard time beating them.

But what he didn't expect was that now Kidd would make the Nets a very dangerous team. After Martin started the game with a violent aerial relay, the Nets' starting five started as if they had played chicken blood, and they burst into and out shots to increase their scores. Of course, the core of the team is still the guy who always has a calm face, and his passing detonates the firepower of his teammates to the maximum.

The 76ers are naturally not to be outdone, you must know that they are the regular season champions, and now what is the matter of being led by the Nets? However, under Kidd's defense, Iverson played very restrained, and before he could deliver an assist, the opponent completed a steal, and those passes that were not tackled did not create opportunities for teammates, purely to get rid of the defense.

It didn't take long for Brown to discover a flaw in the team's starting lineup, which was that there was no playmaking point to trust other than Iverson. Durham Porter can be pulled up high to act as a tower of command, but he is still young and inexperienced, and most importantly he has to focus on grabbing rebounds and covering his teammates, and organizing the offense will undoubtedly reduce the team's control over rebounds.

Iverson's backcourt partner Reid is not a guy who only scores on his own and is reluctant to share the ball, but his main task is to shoot and score, only pass some decent balls, and then let the teammates who receive the ball solve the problem themselves. It would be difficult for him to connect with his teammates like Iverson, and he could only ensure that his passes were not tackled by his opponents.

Seeing that the Nets had a 12-4 start and looked like they were going to continue to bombard, Brown had to make the first adjustment, replacing Bell with Snow. Although the three-guard will significantly reduce the 76ers' average outside height and free up Van Horn, Snow's presence can reduce the pressure on Iverson, who only needs to run empty-handed with his hands to organize the offense, which undoubtedly greatly increases Kidd's defensive difficulty. In addition, Snow is also excellent defensively, and although he is not as tall as Van Horn, he can fully make up for it with his tenacious fighting spirit.

After Snow came on the court, Iverson was under less pressure, and whenever he appeared in the gap around the screen, Snow always got the ball to him smoothly. Although not as unpredictable as Kidd, Snow only needs to get the basketball in the right place at the right time, and whether he can attract the attention of fans is completely out of his mind.

The configuration of the back three makes Kidd a little painful, his partner Kidders is the No. 8 pick of the 96 golden generation, the offensive ability is not to be said, but the defense is very average, Van Horn on the third position is more single-mindedly committed to the offense after not being entangled by Bale, which means that he must watch the entire outside line with his own strength, which is obviously impossible. Snow organized the offense, Iverson ran empty-handed to attract the defense, Reed waited for the opportunity to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer, the 76ers' backcourt combination was quite perfect, and Kidd could only do his best, he didn't dare to say that he could definitely defend the opponent's outside offense.

In addition to Iverson getting open shots, Reed didn't shoot less than he did, all because Kidd was now struggling to defend Iverson and had to let Reed go. Reed quickly cost the Nets dearly, and after two three-pointers, 76 had chased the deficit to just three points.

Seeing that he could no longer prevent the 76ers' attack, Kidd simply got sideways and directly began to fight against the opponent. At this time, he really showed the demeanor of the master of the court in the future, under his tandem, the Nets players can get very good shooting opportunities in every round, and the 76ers can only do their best to block, even if they can't break it, they have to interfere.

On the offensive end, they still play their own routines, a wide range of interspersed runs and unhesitating passes, everyone is a passing point, and everyone is also a terminal point, except for Durham Porter, who has a small scoring area, the other four players can be said to be able to score in any position inside and outside the three-point line in the half, which makes Nets coach Scott a big headache.

Scott is still very good as a player, but this does not mean that he can become a good coach, in fact, in Chang Wei's memory, Scott has never achieved much in his coaching career in his previous life, and this year is only his second season in charge, and such a good record is entirely due to Kidd's performance. Whether it is on-the-spot command or tactical literacy, he is more than a step worse than Brown on the other side, and now he has no good way to do it.

In fact, with Kidd's level, he doesn't need to make any instructions, Kidd can do it himself on the field. Whether attacking or defending, he was loudly directing his teammates to run on the field, and his tone was very unceremonious, and if it wasn't for the game, he might have yelled and kicked. However, Kidd's prestige in the team is very high, and everyone is willing to obey his command, so there is no need for Scott to command from the sidelines, Kidd can do it alone, which is undoubtedly the value of the league's top point guards.

Brown glanced at Scott and was envious of the rookie coach because he had Kidd as his trump card. Although Iverson is also the top point guard in the league, this guy undoubtedly has a scoring guard heart, and organizing offense can only be regarded as his side job, and he still prefers to put the ball in the basket in a variety of ways. And Kidd is obviously the kind of player who can lead a system by himself, and from the perspective of playmaking, he is much better than Iverson, and he can't be tricked at all.

From the perspective of overall strength, the 76ers are undoubtedly above the Nets, otherwise the regular season rankings of the two sides will be reversed. But Kidd let his teammates explode 12 percent of their strength, and played with a strong opponent, and at the end of the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 32, which made the whole 76ers feel very ashamed, after all, before the game started, their idea was to beat the opponent in one go, complete the sweep again to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, and then win another championship.

Why does it seem that the script is completely different from what Zhiqiang thought?
