Chapter 291: First Strike, First Strike

Despite the doubts about the home team's starting lineup, 76ers fans are still cheering hoarsely for every home team's players, hoping that they can help the team win another championship trophy. They made as much noise as the Staples Center, and managed to create a terrifying home for the devil.

With more than 10,000 fans cheering, the game finally began, and it was the final game of the NBA2000-01 season and the final battle to decide the championship of the season. Whether it is the 76ers playing at home or the Lakers playing away, every player standing on the court and sitting off the court is staring and gritting his teeth, as if he wants to tear his opponent to pieces. No one doesn't crave that championship ring, but fortunately this is Philadelphia, the 76ers have a certain home-court advantage, and the cheering of the fans has undoubtedly given them a dose of stimulant, and everyone feels that there is endless strength in their bodies.

At the beginning of the game, Mutombo unexpectedly beat O'Neal and dialed the ball to Snow, he was not without success in fighting for the ball on O'Neal's head in the previous game, but he did not have this domineering on any occasion, and when he touched the ball first, he also yelled, which boosted the morale of himself and his teammates, and also helped the team get the first wave of possession of the game.

After Snow got the ball, except for Mutombo, the other three shot forward like three sharp arrows, although Kobe Bryant had pressed up, Snow quickly completed a long pass across the half court without completing the top scuffle, directly to the bottom corner, at this time Reid was already in place, and there were no defenders within two meters around him. This shooting environment couldn't have been more relaxed for him, and Reed adjusted slightly, and the basketball went to the basket.

This sudden three-pointer instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena, although this does not mean that the 76ers will be able to win this game steadily, but at least it is a good start. However, Reed didn't have any expression on his face, he simply high-fived his teammates, and quickly retreated to his position, ready to meet the Lakers' offense.

The Lakers players were very annoyed by the three-point shot, especially O'Neal, who thought it was a loss of points due to his failure to scramble for the ball, so after Lu dribbled to the frontcourt, he took the initiative to reach for the ball inside, although the position was not particularly deep, but he believed that he could solve the problem with his own ability. Although the Zen master had already said before the game that Kobe Bryant would dominate the team's offense, Lu still gave the ball to the interior and it was good to open the situation under the basket first.

However, to O'Neal's surprise, Mutombo was holding him behind him, not giving him a chance to turn around at all, and he only moved a little distance to the basket in successive back-to-back singles. Chang Wei's eyes widened on the sidelines, is this really the level that Mutombo can achieve? How can he carry O'Neal with pure strength under the basket? Chang Wei even thought that he had secretly used some props for Mutombo, but in fact he really didn't use anything.

It is true that the system has previously told him that he can use props for players in one of the games of this series, but Chang Wei does not plan to use various one-time props for players in games since he improved Reed's shooting ability and Iverson's breakthrough ability, which is the fundamental reason why he suggested that Brown adopt a three-guard lineup against the Lakers.

Although the system has now regarded him as a host, Chang Wei is not sure if this system will disappear one day in the future, can he only pat his ass and leave because of his lack of ability? It was the last thing he wanted. So whenever he has time, Chang Wei will go to Brown to borrow books related to basketball tactics, or take the trouble to watch the videotapes of various teams and periods, just to enrich himself in case something unexpected happens.

If the 76ers lose this game, Chang Wei just feels a little regretful, but he will definitely not regret it. With his vision and the memory of his previous life, the championship has a chance to compete for every year, and he misses this time and the next time, but if he chooses to use props because of this tie-break, then he may not have any great achievements in his life.

In the case of unsuccessful back-to-back singles, O'Neal had to choose to re-pass the ball to the outside, and the basketball finally came to Kobe Bryant after successive transfers, and it was Snow standing in front of him at this time. In fact, it was supposed to be Iverson, but Snow thought he could barely cause some trouble for Kobe, so he completed the switch before Kobe received the ball.

You must know that Snow has been the 76ers' chief outside gate before, even more than Lynch, but in fact he is not a pure defensive player like Bale, more often he is responsible for wiping Iverson's ass. Since Balle joined the team and was promoted to the starting lineup, Snow has shifted further into the direction of playmaker, and he has not been as energetic on the defensive end as before. So this time he directly faced a top offensive player like Kobe, and his defensive effect was not as good as Bale.

Bryant just made a simple fuss, and with his strong physical fitness, he forced the ball to cut in, and hit a small throw at a step inside the free throw line. Snow shrugged helplessly, came to the baseline and waited for his teammates to serve, Brown had already explained before the game started, and Snow had already seen that the team was going to fight against the opponent, so he gave up some of the restrictions on the opponent on the defensive end, so it was not a big problem to let Kobe Bryant score a goal in this round.

It's just that Snow still feels a little unhappy, after all, this is too easy for Kobe, and Snow's idea is still to give Kobe a little color to see. But now that they are still scoring, they can only score an Anser Ball in the next round, and Snow doesn't care which teammate scores, as long as he can make a tough counterattack against the Lakers. After all, in a back three, he exists as a playmaker, and Iverson and Reed are the more offensive players.

Brown didn't have any expression on the sidelines, he already knew the consequences of sending a back three, and he also knew that the Zen master would definitely take advantage of Bale's absence to let Kobe Bryant attack with the ball, so he didn't pay attention to this goal at all. As long as the team can maintain strong offensive firepower, it doesn't matter if Kobe Bryant scores a goal, just return it.

Chang Wei also felt that this goal didn't matter, anyway, Bell couldn't completely stop Kobe's offense, and Snow obviously couldn't either, so if the next goal could be scored, it would be OK.
