Chapter 259: I Can't Hear

The timeout passed quickly, and everyone was ready to play, but Lewis's face was still a little ugly, and it was clear that he was frightened by the boos of the Lakers fans in the first quarter, and now he is still apprehensive.

Chang Wei stepped forward and patted his arm, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Rashad, from now on, you keep saying to yourself, 'I can't hear', maybe this will make you feel better on the court......"

Lewis couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect Chang Wei to tell himself such a nonsense method, if it was useful to self-suggest, then why did he want the fans to boo the away team players next to him? But now he's also catching ducks on the shelves, whether he succeeds or not, he has to give it a try, right? What if this really works?

The beep of the timer sounded, which meant that the second quarter of the game officially began, and the beep was accompanied by the wave-like boos of the Lakers fans, who seemed to have recovered a lot during the interdisjunct timeout, and had the strength to boo the 76ers players. Lewis's face turned pale, his hands and feet trembled involuntarily, and he hurriedly said "I can't hear...... I can't hear ......" but the boos still drilled into his ears like an awl, and he couldn't stop it.

Lewis instinctively wanted to cover his ears, but now that he was in the game, could it be that he had his teammates play five on both offensive and defensive ends? He had no choice but to continue to say "I can't hear" in his heart, while stubbornly starting to run under the boos in the sky. The 76ers' first offense of the second quarter, the ball quickly came to Lewis, and he is now in the open space on the weak side.

Seeing Lewis receiving the ball in the open space, the boos of the Lakers fans suddenly increased by a few decibels, in fact, they did not deliberately target Lewis, replaced by Iverson, Snow and even other 76ers players, when they put on a posture to shoot, the fans were also booed, Lewis just happened to be the one who caught the ball and shot.

After receiving the ball, Lewis shook his head, chased all the distractions in his mind, and forced himself to focus all his attention on the basket, even Grant, who had already saved, was subconsciously ignored by him. Suddenly, Lewis felt that the hustle and bustle on the sidelines had slowly left him, and even if he didn't recite that stupid sentence in his heart, it seemed that his ears were much clearer.

He took a deep breath, clicked, shook Grant over, and drifted to throw the ball. Although Lewis has a high catch-and-shoot percentage, there is no space enough for him to shoot directly, so it is more appropriate to point Grant to adjust and then shoot. Under everyone's gaze, the basketball swayed into the basket, which was also the first three-pointer of the game that Lewis hit, and he didn't care if it was away, clenched his fists and yelled to cheer himself on.

This was a stab at the hornet's nest, Lewis shot from the weak side near the bottom corner, not far from the audience, and Lewis's action of cheering himself on was clearly seen by the fans in the front row, who saw this as a provocation to the great Lakers. Although the ball is now on the Lakers' side, the fans still haven't let go of Lewis, the guy who dares to provoke, and the boos in the sky make the Lakers player Zhanger Monk scratch his head, and they still think the fans are booing themselves!

However, such boos did not affect Lewis, who was still immersed in the three-pointer he had just hit, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that as long as he could stay focused while shooting, there was really nothing to be afraid of. Mutombo patted him on the head and said with a smile: "That goal just now is so beautiful, you should take the boo as a compliment to you!" For us, there is no better sound in this world than the boos of the opposing fans! The louder the boos, the better we played. ”

Lewis nodded, his heart stirring, and hitting the first three-pointer with boos did give him a lot of confidence. Next, on the defensive end, he even directly covered O'Neal's small hook hand, although he was knocked to the ground because of the unequal weight, but everyone was impressed by this guy who averaged 0.7 blocks per game this season.

Confidence is important for a pitcher, and as long as he believes he can shoot, then the shooting percentage is likely to improve dramatically. It's not a superstition, it's the most common thing that happens on the basketball court, and if a pitcher doesn't have any confidence in what he throws, then he's lost his instinct as a pitcher.

Brown didn't field a full starting lineup in this quarter, replacing Snow with Reed. What surprised him was that Reed's mental quality was much better than Lewis, who entered the NBA ahead of schedule, and Lewis still needed time to adjust, Reed didn't need it at all, and he could contribute on the offensive end as soon as he got on the court, and his shooting percentage was still very good.

Chang Wei nodded secretly when he watched it from the side, he deserved to be the boss of the Bucks in his previous life, although Reed was only a second-round show, but there were not many second-round shows who could become the star of a team, how could he convince the opponent without a few brushes? At Reed's peak, he was undoubtedly one of the strongest shooters in the league, but he didn't expect that now he has a strong mental quality.

When Lewis and Reed opened up from beyond the three-point line, the 76ers' offense became smooth, and Iverson had simplified his offensive routine to a breakaway shot every round because he believed that the shooters on the perimeter would shoot the ball. Soon the 76ers narrowed the gap to within 5 points, which made the Zen master have to put Kobe Bryant on the court again.

O'Neal can indeed score on the inside, but this also means that the Lakers' outside scoring has become much weaker, before the Zen master let Kobe rest just felt that he was entangled with Bell for too long in the first quarter, and may have consumed a lot of physical strength, but now he must let Kobe Bryant play, otherwise it is difficult for the Lakers to resist the offensive of the 76ers by scoring inside.

Seeing that the Zen master put Kobe Bryant up, Brown was still unmoved, and he knew Bell's physical strength, so even though Kobe Bryant was sitting on the court at the beginning of the second quarter, he still put Bell on the court, and now he can just be on top of Kobe. Seeing Kobe Bryant on the court, Bale was also excited, he only shot 1 three-pointer in the bottom corner when the 76ers let go of the onslaught, and he didn't shoot it yet, and now is obviously the best moment for him to show his value.

When Bryant came on the court, the difference between the two sides was only 3 points, which was a rather dangerous score, and as long as the 76ers hit one more three-pointer, the two sides would return to the same running line, which was unacceptable to the entire Lakers team.
