During the break, Brown did not hesitate to praise Snow's performance in addition to laying out the second-quarter tactics for the players. Indeed, it was a clever move to bring Snow on the court, and he overfulfilled his task, not only sorting out the offense, but also causing some problems for Kidd on the defensive end, otherwise the 76ers would not have been able to take a double-digit lead.

But in Iverson's view, Brown's praise of Snow is a slap in the face, after all, Snow came on the court to replace his position, and to say that he played well is not to say that I played badly? Of course, Brown certainly didn't mean that, but Iverson couldn't help it if he had to add drama to him, and some people can always decipher the deep meaning of non-existence from other people's words.

Brown didn't think about it that much at all, he waved his hand and said unquestioningly: "In the second quarter, Eric you continue to stay on the court with the bench lineup, and I hope you can play your part and help the team continue to maintain this lead." ”

Snow nodded: "No problem, coach, I'll let everyone get enough shots." ”

At this time, Iverson didn't say anything, he knew that although the team's bench lineup was very powerful, there was still a big gap with the main team, and he rarely played with the bench lineup in the previous games, as for why the head coach would continue to let Snow play...... Isn't it his job to lead the bench around the opponent? There's nothing to be jealous of.

However, after the start of the second quarter, the 76ers' bench lineup did not play at the level of the previous game, which made the fans sigh. Hearing the chatter and complaints of fans not far behind him, Chang Wei felt a little funny, the 76ers' bench was completely homeless, the last game was just an extraordinary performance, and now it is their real level.

Fortunately, there is Snow holding the line, he is very calm to assign players to each scorer, even Arenas has no opinion, after all, Snow is the captain of the team and the leader of the locker room, and his voice in the team is not weaker than Iverson, but not as showy as the latter, and the importance of the two is about the same in a strict sense.

Scott wasn't as calm as Brown at all, and he made an early switch to the starting lineup in an attempt to seize the opportunity to tie the score before the 76ers made a switch. Although they encountered stubborn resistance, the score still chased back little by little, after all, the 76ers' bench rebounding ability was mediocre, and the overall shooting rate could only remain around 40%.

With 4:25 left to go in the second quarter, the Nets finally trailed the score to 45-50, but by this time Brown was already planning to switch to the starter. It was completely unexpected, and although it was a bit unpleasant to be chased down to just five points, it was already difficult for them to do better. And by this time, the main players have rested enough time, and it is time to go up and wrestle with the opponent, according to Brown's idea, it is better to re-open the difference between the two sides to double digits.

Iverson is already playing his wrist in his position, having been convinced that his substitution in the first quarter was just an accident and that the manager will continue to use him again, as he has done in previous games. But to his surprise, Brown only replaced four players, and Snow was still on the court, that is, he was not included in the four players who were substituted!

This made Iverson angry, his teeth chattering, and his eyes seemed to be about to ignite. Chang Wei saw that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly sat down next to him and comforted: "Allen, this is the need for the team's tactical arrangement, you have to understand the coach's arrangement, he only did this because Snow is more suitable to play against Kidd, and you are still the strongest player in our team." ”

After listening to Chang Wei's explanation, Iverson snorted sullenly and did not speak. He knew that what Chang Wei said was the truth, but he just couldn't swallow it. It's okay to replace yourself in the first quarter, and it's okay if you don't let yourself play for the first time in the second quarter, but now you have to change to the starting lineup and compete with your opponent, and you still have to sit on the bench?

But apparently Brown won't explain anything to him, he's more concerned about Snow's performance on the field. Previous games have proven that Snow is much more important in the game than Iverson, as a head coach not to let Iverson play, it is too normal, he has to be responsible for the whole team, it is impossible to ignore the outcome of the game because of the feelings of one person.

After the main players reappeared, they took the initiative back, which made the Nets feel very aggrieved, especially Martin, since Brown sent Teylon Hill to play against him, he has not had any good shots, but has to work hard with the opponent under the basket, and he can't feel the refreshment of the crazy basket abuse before.

Martin is a hot-tempered guy, and although Hill is relatively tough, he knows how to restrain his emotions and will use small gestures to add fuel to the fire of his opponents. Martin was unfortunate enough to fall victim to a very stealthy elbow to Hill during an attack, and although the referee did not notice it, the latter immediately fell to the ground. It is naturally impossible not to watch the replay of the game when such a thing happens on the court, and he does not hesitate to give Martin a technical foul when he sees it.

Fortunately, the other players of the Nets hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Martin, who was about to go to the referee to theorize, this guy usually doesn't look like a good person, and now he still looks aggressive, or if he is not stopped, it will definitely be the consequence of giving another technical foul and being directly sent out of the game. Although he couldn't get Martin to leave the game automatically, Hill clearly met his minimum goal, and as long as Martin can't keep his mind at bay, there is a good chance of making mistakes in the next game.

Scott looked helpless, Martin's temper he didn't know, but he didn't expect that before the first half was over, this guy was provoked by the opponent, so what level can he play in the next game? Scott was skeptical. Looking at the timer, there were only four minutes left until the end of the first half, and he simply replaced Martin with Jefferson, hoping that the latter would sober up on the bench and that he didn't need to put a powder keg on the court.

After sitting back in his seat, Martin was still angry, gasping for breath, and a staff member next to him handed over a bottle of sports drink, he unscrewed the lid and drank most of the bottle in one go, wiped his mouth fiercely, and sat there alone sulking. Scott didn't plan to pay attention to him, so let him be quiet for a while and figure it out slowly!
