From the second day, Brown began to lay out a lineup in training sessions ready to be used in the Finals. When he took out this lineup, everyone except Lewis was shocked, this lineup actually didn't have a center?

In this day and age, a pure centerless lineup is rarely on the court, and even if it does, it can only be played for a few minutes while the rotation lineup is on the field. Even the Nuggets, who were known for their crazy offense under Doug Mo, in addition to Vanderwich and Inglish, also had Dan Isemer, an excellent interior player who averaged 20.4 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in his career, and he was successfully inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1993.

But now Brown has a lineup without a center, with Iverson and Reed on the guard line, small forward Bale, power forward Lynch, and center Lewis. While it's easy to tell where they are by height, no one thinks that Lewis is an inside player, no way, he's been floating outside for too long.

In fact, the other assistant coaches on the coaching staff were skeptical of the lineup, not believing that a centerless lineup would make much of a difference, and simply because they couldn't think of a good way to do it themselves. Although they do not secretly pray that this solution will fail, distrust is absolutely inevitable.

In order to be responsible for the team, Brown arranged for them to arrange the opponent is the strongest lineup that can be formed among the remaining players of the team, the backcourt is Snow and McGee, the inside line is Hilga Delham Porter, and Arenas is temporarily used in the third position, although he is not tall enough, but for the sake of Balle and Lynch are defensive wings.

At first, Iverson was hungry for Lewis, and they naturally played awkwardly, and although they had been old teammates for two seasons, it was the first time that they appeared on the court at the same time. The least accustomed ones are undoubtedly Lynch and Lewis on the inside, one of whom has never played power forward, and the other who is afraid of physical confrontation, resulting in the side that falls behind in the first place.

And Hellham Porter and Hill teamed up to control the rebounds, both offensive and defensive rebounds, largely because Iverson and his "main lineup" players have not yet developed the habit of rushing for rebounds. According to Chang Wei's idea, Iverson can stay outside the three-point line alone and wait for a counterattack, and everyone else will go inside to grab the board, but it is nonsense that all five people are ready to play a conversion offense, who will grab the rebound and launch a counterattack?

However, after Brown yelled twice, things started to improve, and while Lewis still looked reluctant, at least he didn't stand still when he needed to get inside to fight Durham Potter and them. Whenever the sparring partner shoots the iron, the five of them rush towards the falling basketball like mad dogs, and there is even a mess with their teammates, but this is a good start......

The most important thing is that they don't need to find their touch at all, when Iverson is in possession of the ball at the top of the arc, several other people are constantly shuttling between the inside and outside, as the only big man, Lewis also covers his teammates from time to time, super mobility makes them always run out of enough space to shoot, and then it is to catch the ball and shoot, or to receive a teammate's pass and go directly to the basket when cutting along the baseline to the basket, and the feel is not considered at all.

This is also what Chang Wei envisioned at the beginning, although the small players are at a disadvantage in terms of height, their movement speed is incomparable to that of the interior players. And a guy like Lewis, who has both height and speed, is obviously very suitable for the No. 5 position, and when they are all running, the Spurs' vaunted interior twin towers are probably not going to make much of a difference.

In fact, after ten years of this lineup, it is the most trendy tactic in the entire league. After the center with three-point shooting ability covers it, it is easy to go down the offensive frame or pull to the outside to shoot, and the wing players swing up to the fourth position to become a small big forward to enhance the athleticism of the lineup, although Lynch has relatively few offensive means, but it is enough to stand in this position, and strictly speaking, there are too few wing players for the 76ers, except for him and Bell, there is no third.

Soon the simulated confrontation between the two sides played well, which surprised Brown, what he didn't know was that in order to quickly improve the tacit understanding of the whole lineup, Chang Wei exchanged a prop valid for three days from the system's mall - accelerated tactical board (small), in these three days, the effect of training is increased by 30%, and the tacit understanding of players is increased by 30%, otherwise this unprecedented lineup will really have to wait until the year of the monkey to practice, and the daylily will be cold at that time.

Since only 24 minutes of the half, the final score of the intra-team match was 62-60, and the sparring team had a slight advantage, but Brown was very satisfied with the strange starting lineup suggested by Chang Wei. Although it fell behind significantly in rebounding, it was also an offensive rebound, and the defensive rebounds of the two teams were almost the same, and the main team was slightly behind 21-24, which was completely within the range of bearability.

Of course, whether this lineup can be used to deal with the Spurs Twin Towers still needs to be tested in actual combat, but judging from the performance of the match, they are not as imminent as imagined, the shortcomings are of course obvious, but it is not without advantages, if it can be further improved, it is not impossible to try it in the first game of the finals.

However, this is only the initial results, and both the experienced Brown and Chang Wei, who made this suggestion, clearly see how much can be improved. The most important thing is to grab rebounds, although they did not lag too far behind in grabbing rebounds in the confrontation game, but the process could not bear to look directly, many times they were swarming forward to grab rebounds, not talking about strategy at all, anyway, just relying on more people, this is undoubtedly a weakness in the official game.

Brown also has more work to do, and he has to devise some reasonable and simple tactics for this lineup, and he can't always rely on the sparkle of the players on the court to solve the problem. This is also the task of the head coach, and every squad must have relevant tactics for the players to execute, otherwise it will not become X**D?
