Losing at home to the Spurs was a shame for Brown, and although he never expected a 4-0 sweep, it was still tragic to lose to his opponent in front of more than 10,000 spectators in the league's first center arena. However, after the press conference, he put the defeat behind him and began to think about the lessons that the game had taught his team.

Failing to limit the Spurs Twin Towers is of course the most important point, of course, he never thought that he could take out the Spurs with a strange start without a center in two consecutive games, but it is undeniable that the defeat just now was entirely due to the failure to prevent the Spurs Twin Towers from erupting at the last moment, and finally forced to let go in the last attack more than 10 seconds before the end.

But at the same time, Brown is also keenly aware of one of the Spurs' weaknesses, and that is the guard line, or point guard to be exact. The reason why they didn't show up in the Western Conference Finals is largely because the Lakers' No. 1 player is not very good, and the two sides are half-pounded against eight-two, so that the Spurs' point guards don't look so bad. But compared to the 76ers' guards, it's far behind, not to mention Iverson and Snow, even Arenas can top the No. 1 position, much stronger than the Spurs.

Popovich used three point guards in this game, namely rookie Parker, 39-year-old veteran Terry Porter and two-way guard Daniels. Yes, Daniels is a two-way guard, and it stands to reason that the head coach should like him the most like a player who can organize and score, but Daniels only played 20 minutes because he liked scoring so much that he put aside the responsibility of organizing the offense, and Popovich had to keep him in the team's No. 2 position for a long time.

So strictly speaking, the Spurs' orthodox point guards are only Parker and Porter, who are old and young, either too inexperienced, or unable to keep up with the pace of opponents. In fact, Popovich is still too superstitious about the experience of veterans, and if the backcourt configuration can be younger, the Spurs may be more likely to beat the Lakers to win the Western Conference championship this season.

In both seasons, Brown has stuck to the overall style of play, hoping that the players can play more cross-cutting combinations, while increasing the team's firepower, which he believes can maximize the team's overall strength. But now it looks like the Spurs are going back to the days when Iverson was playing alone with the ball, and let them crush the Spurs' guards.

By the time he returned to the locker room, Brown had already collected his mood, looked at the players who sat in his place as if they had made a big mistake, and said with a smile: "Losing this game is not necessarily a bad thing, at least we have seen the weaknesses of the Spurs, as long as we take advantage of their weaknesses in the next game, it should have a good effect." ”

Brown's words made most of the people in the locker room look confused, they really didn't see what the Spurs left in this game, in fact, only Chang Wei guessed Brown's thoughts, and the old man's gaze at Iverson and Arenas also proved his conjecture. Sometimes Chang Wei admires Brown very much, the old man deserves to be one of the top coaches in the history of the NBA, and his vision is called a vicious, and he can see the defects in the Spurs' No. 1 position in one game, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Sure enough, in the next day's training session, Brown strengthened the point guard's role in the offensive round, and Iverson and Arenas, one on the main team and the other on the bench, became the team's scoring arrows, which was rarely seen in previous training sessions. Now the 76ers' players and assistant coaches have understood that the next game is to work the guard line? The pressure on the Spurs twin towers was too great, and no one even thought of going to the guard.

Iverson and Arenas, who are the protagonists, have apparently guessed the manager's arrangement, and there is no better task for the two scoring maniacs. For this reason, Brown also adjusted the starting lineup again, Snow replaced Reed as the starter, his task was to organize the team's attack, and the right to fire was handed over to Iverson; The backcourt combination of the rotation lineup is Reed and Arenas, and Hellam Porter is among them, and Brown's idea is to have Dylim Porter play more high posts and Reed to open up space outside the three-point line, in other words, their role in the system is to create opportunities for Arenas.

It's also thanks to the good atmosphere in the 76ers, and Reed and Dyham Porter are also the kind of players with good tempers, so if you want Iverson or Arenas to play someone else's hand, it's strange that they don't turn their faces! At this time, Brown was extremely glad that Chang Wei chose Arenas in the first place, although this kid didn't win the best rookie of the season, but the other rookies of this year couldn't do his skillful breakthrough, even if he wanted to beat the Spurs, he was a very important point.

Chang Wei believes that Brown can completely choke the Spurs by the throat this time, because the Spurs' defensive line is indeed their biggest weakness this season, and there is no one. Parker is still just a rookie and not the Finals MVP in his previous life, with an average of no more than 10 points per game, and he is not a first-class point guard in the league at all, and he can withstand Iverson only by his own blood.

Moreover, Iverson has been trying to suppress his offensive desire in recent seasons, wanting to play more like a proper point guard, and his teammates are also very strong, so he does not need to put all the burden on his shoulders. But if he uses all his skills, the fledgling Parker will definitely not be able to prevent it, even if they were the top point guards in the league in the first decade of the 21st century in their previous lives, experience and talent cannot be compensated for casually.

In previous games, the 76ers' outside players certainly got a lot of opportunities, but most of them were created by themselves through running, and the real singles were completely negligible. While this will improve the shooting percentage, it will also reduce the intensity of the opponent's defense, as they only need to compete with you on their legs and feet. Parker is known as the "French sports car", and he is completely worthy of Iverson in terms of speed, not to mention that two people have one with the ball and one without the ball.

Chang Wei can already imagine what kind of devastation the Spurs' guards will suffer in the next game, their age configuration is unreasonable, and now if the 76ers target them again, it is already very good to be able to play at a normal level. And now looking at Brown's appearance in training sessions, is he really ready to fight to the death, or is it a moment of silence for the Spurs' guards!
