Chapter 290: Strange Lineup
Although the time is pressing, the 76ers are still starting to get familiar with the new lineup step by step, in fact, this is not difficult for them, everyone's ball quotient is not low, tactical running or something can be familiar with a little training, Brown in the training session is more to let them practice tactics over and over again, hoping to turn running into their subconscious behavior.
In order to give the Lakers a surprise blow, Brown asked all players not to reveal the content of the training during interviews, and he even asked for a closed practice session to prevent leaks. The local media in Philadelphia naturally felt that it was nothing, and they didn't want their interviews to interfere with the team's preparations, but it was difficult for the media in other places to accept it, especially those from the national media, but in the end, their requests for on-site observation were politely and firmly rejected by the 76ers.
To Brown and Chang Wei's relief, as time went on, the players became more familiar with the lineup, and everyone's movement was also presentable. Although Brown decided to follow Chang Wei's advice to play in the back three, he was still apprehensive, but now he has a lot of ease. Chang Wei is full of confidence in this lineup, he is just worried that everyone will not be able to familiarize themselves with the situation of the three defenders on the field at the same time in such a short period of time, and this situation also makes him feel relieved.
The 76ers did a good job of keeping secrets, and it wasn't until before the start of the tiebreaker that reporters from various media outlets got their starting list, but the names on it made everyone's eyes widen. It's not that they haven't seen Brown's whimsy, which caused an uproar when he put Bale and Reed in the starting line-up, and of course they both proved themselves very quickly, but this time it was no longer the domain of whimsy, and every reporter thought he had seen a madman.
"What's going on? Is Brown Sr. ready to give up the last game and start preparing for the offseason? "You can't say that, otherwise why would they go all out to win the league? But this lineup is really problematic...... ""That is, if you take down Bell, can Kobe Bryant still be restricted?" Brown can't be an old fool, right? ”
Of course, none of their questions could be answered, and Brown just casually hid in the pre-game press conference, using some official rhetoric to perfunctory the group of curious and puzzled reporters. But he also knew that he was completely free in this game, and if he won, he would be the final champion, and if he lost, he would be the sinner of the whole team and even the whole Philadelphia.
But now that I can't manage so much, now that I've made up my mind, let's try it according to the previous plan! Brown has found that no other way can stop the Lakers, so it is better to make a radical change, and maybe it can even work a miracle. Yes, miracles, although the 76ers have a better regular season record than the Lakers, it is not much better, and the Lakers have shown a lot of strength in the Finals that they have never shown before, and the 76ers are undoubtedly feeling a lot of pressure. So for Brown, it would be a miracle if he could win this game, and basically all hope was pinned on the back three.
The starting lineup of the 76ers also made Zen Master frown, he had no idea why the opponent would take the initiative to weaken his strength on the defensive end, wouldn't removing Bale want to let Kobe Bryant attack wantonly? Rao is a Zen master is full of wisdom, and he can't guess the reason why the 76ers changed the starting lineup, you must know that this is the seven-tie battle of the finals, and rashly changing the formation is equivalent to looking for death.
However, he also has no heart to guess what his opponent thinks, and in his opinion, since the opponent has made a mistake, then whether intentionally or not, he must seize the opportunity to win the game. It's the opponent's business to make mistakes, and it's absolutely unacceptable to be kind casually, after all, it's not impossible to have mercy on your opponent in a professional game, but only after a victory.
In the locker room, he waved the 76ers' starting list and said to the players with a happy face: "I don't know why the opponent would send such a lineup that has never played before, but it has nothing to do with us, all we have to do is take advantage of their mistakes and beat them and win the championship this season, and then we can comment on it with grace." ”
Then the Zen master looked at Kobe Bryant and said solemnly: "Since the 76ers didn't let Bell start, then Kobe, I hope you can take on the responsibility of scoring the team in this game, I believe that the players opposite you can't prevent you, whether it's Snow or Reed, their defensive ability is not enough to cause trouble for you, so this time I will give you unlimited firing rights." ”
Kobe Bryant stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Coach, thank you for your trust, I will definitely let them learn the lesson." They obviously looked down on me by not sending Bale, and I'm going to use my performance to show them what the league's top stars are! ”
While the Lakers are confident about the upcoming games, the 76ers are not going to go through the motions, they are equally eager to beat their opponents and win a championship, and their confidence is almost as good as the Lakers' confidence. "We've worked a lot on the new squad in the last two or three days, and I think you've done well enough, but that's just a training session and you're going to have to fight the opponent tonight," Brown said. I hope you can use what you've learned in training to deal with them and that's what we can do to win the game! ”
"A lot of people are scoffing at our new lineup right now, but we know how powerful it really is, and we're going to give the Lakers a little bit of color tonight to prove that we made the right adjustment. We've never used this line-up before, but I'm sure it's going to be a killer for us, so let's give it our all! ”
Chang Wei looked around, and most of the players' bodies trembled slightly, but it could be seen from their eyes that this was not because they were afraid of the Lakers' strong strength, but because they were excited and excited about the upcoming battle at the top. Chang Wei even thanked the Lakers fans for creating a frenetic atmosphere at the Staples Center, and even though it was the last game of the season, the 76ers players did not feel nervous, but were a little eager to try, after all, they were already nervous when they were on the road.
Chang Wei is very interested in the result of this game, can the 76ers successfully end the Lakers dynasty this time? If they win, maybe even the "OK group" will be disbanded early, right?
