Chapter 415: United
"What's the situation? Is Taysia serious? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment right away? As Thomson helped Prince to the sideline, Brown asked in a loud voice, fearing something would go wrong with his wing.
Thomson shook his head and said, "It's just that the eyebrow bone has been opened, it's not a big problem, I've seen a lot over the years." But I'm going to go to the locker room to get him stitched up now, and I'm going to need someone else to replace him in the next few years. ”
Brown breathed a sigh of relief, and he bowed his head and said: "It's okay to have an eyebrow injury, as long as there is no substantial damage, wait for you to do a preliminary concussion test by the way, I don't want anything big wrong with my players." ”
Thomson didn't say anything, and helped Prince to the players' tunnel, and he didn't tell Brown about the lack of anesthetics in the locker room. In fact, it is all he can make as a team doctor, he just needs to make sure that Prince can return to the court healthy, and there is no need to disturb Brown's mind with this kind of scary-sounding thing.
Although he was still concerned about Prince's injury, Brown understood that now was not the time to worry and that the game would continue, and he chose to put Simmons instead of Crawford on the court to replace Prince. It stands to reason that Crawford should help the team more on the offensive end, but Brown believes that Simmons is highly motivated defensively and has a good shooting percentage in the fast break, and he hopes that Simmons can help the team convert the rebounding advantage directly into scoring.
Iverson was active since Prince came off the court, he was really fed up with that rookie with long hands and feet, and now he was finally able to score as much as he wanted. But what Iverson didn't expect was that Brown used the little time that Prince was off the court to make targeted arrangements, and he asked Billups to guard against Iverson's shots and force him to score under the basket.
Iverson easily burst inside on his first offense after the restart, and while Billups' presence prevented him from making a pullup jumper, he didn't care, and there was still a basket to go anyway. It's a pity that his backhand layup after flashing in mid-air still encountered Big Ben's ruthless block, and in order to show his anger, the basketball was directly slapped by Big Ben near the halfline. Simmons, who was already prepared, started and controlled the basketball immediately, and when all the 76ers players did not react, he rode away, and used a tomahawk dunk to help the team add two more points.
Iverson's face was horribly gloomy, and he finally realized that it was a trap for the Pistons, and he stupidly slammed into it. If Brown had been in charge before, he would have let him pass the ball to his teammates more, but Els would only let him solve the problem on his own, a manager with almost superstitious confidence in him, but this time Iverson himself hesitated.
However, his indecision in the offensive round became a weakness that the Pistons could exploit. When Iverson was about to make a move against Billups, he was surprised to find that his teammates were caught up in the Pistons' defense, and he was left with only one way to charge with the ball, and the end result was also interfered with and the shooting iron.
By the time Els finally remembered that he was going to call a timeout, the Pistons had already completed the comeback with their strong defense, which was undoubtedly the result of their unanimous efforts. Brown has put all of the players on this team into a fist, playing their part in the system, both offensively and defensively, and never hesitating to create opportunities for their teammates.
On the other hand, the 76ers, they can now be said to be Iverson's one-man team, last season his round possession rate was only 23.1%, but this season it has exceeded 30%, reaching the league's fourth 31.5%, which means that most of the ball is concentrated on him when he is on the court, when he performs sluggishly, the team will be greatly affected, and the Pistons seized this point to carry out targeted defense against Iverson, and their purpose is to destroy the 76ers' offensive system.
What's more, the Pistons players were all on fire, and even though the referees blew for a common offensive foul on Iverson when Prince went off, they more or less guessed what was going on in that moment. Since there is no way to protest to the referee to change the decision, the only way to do so is to beat the opponent directly in the match.
Chang Wei, who has been sitting silently beside Brown, was also surprised by the defense of this Pistons, which is worthy of being the top team that can play epic defense in the previous life, and in nearly 3 minutes, the 76ers, who can average 108.3 points per game, have no other team in the league to do it, and now it seems that the task of the system is really possible!
After the timeout, Ells unexpectedly did not replace Iverson, but instead replaced Lynch with Arenas and started to play a three-guard lineup, a decision that made Chang Wei scoff. This guy is really an Iverson control, even if the AI is going to encounter targeted defense on the field, he must put the number one star on the field, and even replace Arenas on the field in order to strengthen the offensive firepower, with Iverson's obsession with the ball this season, 1+1<2 is an obvious thing.
As Chang Wei expected, Iverson didn't care who Els replaced, anyway, he just wanted to attack with the ball on his own as before. This naturally made Arenas feel very unhappy, although it was not to the point of breaking out into infighting, but when he ran in front of the Pistons bench, Chang Wei could see his mood from his expression and eyes.
Arenas joined the Wizards in the summer of 2003, and now it seems that if Els is okay and doesn't give him enough balls, Arenas will choose to leave at the end of the season, as he did in his previous life. It may be the Wizards, it may be other teams, but the most unlikely thing is to stay, after all, the "General" has always been ambitious, since he has already won a championship ring, why continue to look at Iverson's face in the 76ers?
When Els trusted Iverson unconditionally and let him control the vast majority of the ball, the defeat of the championship team was already doomed, and no one doubted Iverson's love for the team, he just wasn't fit to be a commander. As is the case on the field right now, Ells is trying to step up the firepower, but what's the use of Arenas not getting the ball?
