Most head coaches like to start the second half with the same lineup as they did at the start of the first half, but Brown doesn't. Sometimes Chang Wei really thinks that the head coach in front of him is not the iron-blooded coach who led the Pistons to defeat the Lakers F4 in his previous life, but the head coach who conducted all kinds of crazy lineup experiments in Dallas and Oakland - Don Nelson.

The reason is simple, Brown fielded a starting lineup in the second half that was the same all-attacking lineup that he had used once before but didn't work well: Iverson, Snow, Reed, Lewis and Oku. When this lineup first appeared in the game, it quickly became a group of headless flies because of poor cooperation, but Brown saw their potential from it, so he also deliberately let these five people team up during training sessions many times, so their tacit understanding has also improved a lot.

This is the most offensive lineup the 76ers can put together at the moment, and of course Brown can replace Snow with Arenas, which would theoretically be more powerful. But even Chang Wei is not quite sure what it will be like to put Iverson, Arenas and Reed on the court at the same time, whether anyone is willing to pass the ball for the time being, the three of them were the stars of three NBA teams in their previous lives, and God knows if they will play on the court because of ball ownership issues.

Putting Snow on the floor actually played the role of point guard, and he was responsible for distributing the ball to his teammates. After all, Snow is the captain of the team, everyone is very convinced of him, and there is no opinion on his arrangement, which can make these scorers safe on the court. Under Snow's combing, this lineup erupted with unimaginable offensive firepower, and they played a wave of 10-0 scoring climax in just one and a half minutes, once again stretching the difference between the two sides to double digits.

Such a fierce offense caught the whole Raptors team a little off guard, and even Wilkens had never seen such a pure offensive lineup, and the Raptors' players were even more confused. Despite their confidence in their defensive system, their defense has long been riddled with holes and countless shooting opportunities under the reckless interspersing of 76ers players.

Since the Raptors don't have enough defenders on the lineup, Wilkens can only ask everyone to defend with all their strength while letting Maddy and Carter go on offense, wanting to play a vigorous offensive battle with the 76ers. But it's a pity that Maddie and Carter are only two people, no matter how good they are, it is difficult to create easy scoring opportunities, and every attack has to do their best. Contrary to them, the 76ers' players only need a few passes to tear through the defense, and each one can be the endpoint.

It's not uncommon for a person to play against a team, but there haven't been many times in NBA history, and Maddie and Carter, who haven't evolved into a full body, obviously don't have such abilities. If it were a few years later, maybe the two of them wouldn't be as helpless as they are now, in his previous life, Maddie could create a miracle of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to win the race alone.

But now they can only watch as the 76ers control the difference. It is of course the best to kill the opponent at once, but the Raptors are not incompetent, and it is still very difficult for the 76ers to further expand the lead, so it is better to pursue the shooting rate and slow down the rhythm, which can also avoid the players wasting their physical strength in vain, which is of great benefit to the next game.

What's more, the 76ers' roster is very young, and being young means having enough physical strength, and it's no problem for them to play more than 40 minutes per game, and now it's just one game, and they can hold it up. But Brown clearly didn't intend to continue to drive them crazy on the court, and when he stretched the margin to 17 points, he switched back to the starting lineup of the game, ready to play steadily until the end of the game, which made Wilkens almost spew out a mouthful of old blood.

What about the good fight together? You're just going to make a change? He also didn't want to think that if the 76ers continued to maintain such a lineup, the Raptors would really have to suffer a fiasco, and Maddie and Carter didn't have such ability.

Brown's substitution caused the Raptors to punch the cotton, and Maddie had already killed Red-Eyed, but now they were completely out of temper like a tidal wave hitting a. This made the Raptors players more impatient, and their shooting percentage dropped a lot, while Durham Porter firmly controlled the rebound on Olajuwon's head.

The third quarter was tied, but it was nothing to lose for the 76ers, as they still maintained a huge lead, and as long as they didn't make mistakes, their opponents would never be able to steal the victory. Wilkens was a little helpless, and all the strong teams in the league saw the 76ers as a target that they had to beat, but now it seems that their lead is not small.

However, the Raptors did not give up, they fought until the last minute, especially in the fourth quarter, and all the main players did not get off the court, only hoping to get even a slight chance to win. However, the gap in hard power was not something that morale could make up for, and in the end they did not close the gap to single digits. It seems that the point difference is smaller than last season, but judging from the course of the whole game, the gap between the Raptors and the 76ers is even bigger than last season, which is also where Wilkens is helpless.

In the end, the 76ers won 113-100, and although they couldn't limit their opponents' scoring to double digits, a look at the Raptors' overall shooting percentage shows how much pressure the 76ers put on them. The Raptors shot only 38.7% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range, which was because Maddy shot 5-of-8 from beyond the three-point line, otherwise their three-point shooting percentage would definitely be even more miserable. On the other hand, the 76ers' shooting rate exceeded 50%, and the three-point shooting rate also exceeded 40%, and it was logical to win the game under the condition of comprehensive suppression, and there was really nothing to say if they lost again.

When the final whistle blew, players from both sides hugged each other on the pitch and sent each other Christmas wishes. But this could not hide the frustration on the faces of the Raptors players, and when Maddy and Chang Wei embraced, they whispered in his ear, "Chang, do we still have a chance to beat you?" You guys really can make any team despair! ”

Chang Wei smiled and said, "The combination of your cousins has a lot of potential, so don't give up hope." What I can tell you is, don't think you're leading a team to the Finals, you need stronger teammates, and Vince is clearly something you can rely on. If you can, you can ask the team to increase the reinforcements, your foundation is still very good. ”
