Everyone on the court noticed that Reed's hands were hot, and the 76ers players tried to give him the ball to finish, while the Lakers players tried hard to prevent his three-pointers. But in any case, he is now the focus of the court, and even surpassed Kobe and O'Neal at one point, because from the perspective of the field, he is the one who carries the team forward.

Fox was Reed's opposing defender in this game, but he found that his defense was useless in front of Reed, and he had no choice but to ask Kobe Bryant to come over and help. In fact, the best outside defense of the Lakers is Kobe Bryant, but many times he exists as the Lakers' outside scoring arrow, and the defensive end only needs to do his duty.

But Reed's condition in this game is really good, it is normal for Fox to be unable to prevent it, and it is simply normal to let Kobe Bryant help. Kobe Bryant thinks that even if he takes care of defense, he will not be overused on the offensive end because of physical exertion, and even if he concentrates on defense, won't the team's offense still have O'Neal to support him on the inside?

So after Reed received a pass from his teammates again, he saw Kobe Bryant standing in front of him. Originally, he was going to shoot directly, but as soon as Reed looked up, Kobe's hand was already stretched out to his face, and if he jumped out rashly, what was waiting for him would definitely be a hot pot. Reed didn't plan to force a shot, after all, it's only the first quarter, there's no need to compete with Coe at this time, of course, if it's at the most critical moment of the game, then he will definitely shoot against the defense.

Reid feigned a break forward, took a step and shook his hand to stuff the ball straight inside, and Mutombo received the ball in a deep position. When he was about to turn around, he found that he was stuck in position by O'Neal and couldn't see the basket at all, and Mutombo himself was a defensive player, so he couldn't shoot and score in this situation.

Just as Mutombo was in a dilemma, Iverson cut to the baseline with an empty hand through Bale's cover, and Mutombo breathed a sigh of relief and gave the basketball to Iverson with a back-of-head pass. Although Iverson was now behind the rebound, he unhurriedly distributed the ball to the bottom corner of the weak side, where it was Lewis who was standing.

This is the position he is best at scoring in the game, shooting over 50% from three-point range. However, when the basketball flew into his hand, the speed was still relatively large, and when Lewis received the ball, he only felt a sinking in his hand, and there was a dull pain in his palm. Fortunately, Lewist's training was not without encountering such a pass, he did not adjust at all, jumped directly on the spot, ignored Grant, who had already pounced for a block, and the basketball fell straight into the basket over his fingertips.

Lewis's three-pointer helped the 76ers narrow the gap to one point, and they could overtake at any time. Kobe Bryant shrugged, he thought his defense against Reed was still in place, but the 76ers still found an opportunity to shoot after some transmission, which can't blame him, and Lewis was in a very different state when he shot from the previous game.

By the time the 76ers made a switch to the starting lineup, they had tied the Lakers at 25, but Brown decided to bring on the bench because he thought it was time for the main players to rest. For Brown, momentary gains and losses weren't a big deal, as long as they could dominate in the final moments of the game, the first quarter was no big deal.

Although the Lakers still kept Kobe Bryant on the court, and he continued to help the team score, the 76ers' offense also looked organized under Snow's combing. When the firepower of the bench was channeled, Kobe Bryant's scoring looked less terrifying, and by the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had only a two-point lead at 37-35.

This result made Brown very excited, he really didn't expect the bench to hold the last three minutes without Kobe Bryant still playing, and he hadn't been pulled away by the opponent, which was obviously a good start.

During the break, Brown didn't have time to praise his players, but continued to lay out the second quarter strategy. Brown was going to give the main players a little more rest and let the bench players play the first three minutes of the second quarter, after all, they were still playing well in the final part of the first quarter. As for how the main players should play, Brown didn't go out of his way to tell him, the tactical literacy of the players is still very high, he just asked everyone to pass the ball to Reed as much as possible, so that this rookie can score.

There was no disagreement with the head coach's arrangement, and Reed's performance in the first quarter had already conquered his teammates, scoring a team-high 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the three-point line in 8:42. Now that Reed was basically sure that it was the result of Chang Wei's special training, he couldn't help but glance at Chang Wei next to him, who was casually doing something, and the latter smiled in return.

Of course, Chang Wei knew that his special training had an effect, but Reed's performance was not only the result of his own special training, but also related to his own talent. In his previous life, Reed was able to become the star of a team as a second-round pick and lead the team to the playoffs, and his talent can be imagined, and Reed was arguably one of the top scorers in the league at that time. Although he is still relatively immature now, Chang Wei's training for him throughout the season is slowly beginning to turn his talent into instant combat power, in other words, he is now getting closer and closer to the peak of his previous life.

In his previous life, Reed must have faced much greater defensive intensity than now, because he was the core of the team at that time, and now he is just a relatively important role player, and he is also a rookie who has just entered the league, and the defensive intensity he faces is obviously not the same. Since Reed can still average 20+ points per game with his shooting skills in the face of such a high-intensity defense, it is not surprising that he can score 12 points in a single quarter with such defensive intensity.

So now that Brown is putting the burden on himself, Reed doesn't feel like a big deal, he knows that his shooting touch in this game can't be hotter anymore, and seizing the opportunity to help the team score crazy is the most important thing. Reed never thought he could score forty or fifty points a game, but he did his best to score every game and do what he had to do, whether it was for him to pull space or as a leading scorer.

However, Reed is full of desire to shoot and score in this game, and now he just wants to keep shooting the ball into the basket, and maybe it can help the team get a win at the Staples Center!
