Chang Wei soon found that he still underestimated Reed's determination, and after the recovery training on the morning of the game, Reed went straight to him and asked to continue the special training. Chang Wei said helplessly: "Michael, I'm going to play tonight, if you continue to practice crazy now, will you still have the physical strength to play at night?" I don't want to see you turn into a soft-footed shrimp. ”

Reed was silent for a while, with a tangled look on his face, what Chang Wei said was indeed very reasonable, but he was also unwilling to give up the last time to prepare for the game. It took a long time for Reed to ask weakly, "Is it okay to have half an hour?" I promise that this training session will not take all my energy and will not affect my performance tonight. ”

Chang Wei smiled, if it was half an hour, it would really not be a big problem for the game, and Reed's attitude really shocked him, is it reasonable for such a player not to succeed in the future? Any player who can enter the league is naturally talented, otherwise it is impossible to stand out from the large number of basketball fans, coupled with such an attitude, Reed's future is definitely promising, and it may even be greater than the achievements in his previous life, maybe he can win the championship in his rookie season.

Looking at Reed's determined eyes, Chang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll calculate the time for you on the side, it can only be half an hour, not another minute, I don't want Coach Brown to come to me tonight to settle the score." ”

Chang Wei's answer made Reed smile, and he trotted all the way to the locker room to change into new training clothes. Even if that half-hour doesn't help him much, he's hoping he'll find his shooting touch in those 30 minutes and then give his opponent a hard blow tonight, even if it's Kobe Bryant who defends him.

Half an hour later, Reed said goodbye to Chang Wei with a slight gasp, ready to go back to rest. His self-control is really good, and he is not the kind of player who is desperate to brush up on stats, if he is desperately only thinking about brushing stats, he will try his best to increase the intensity of training during these 30 minutes, so that the time limit will not have the desired effect.

When Reed was about to walk out of the door of the training hall, Chang Wei stopped him, looking at his somewhat confused eyes, Chang Wei smiled and said: "Tonight's game, you must not have too much baggage, as a shooter, if you have pressure in your heart, you can't play 100% strength, do you understand?" Reed nodded lightly and turned to leave.

The start time of the game was set for 9 p.m. that day, but from 7 p.m., the 76ers' home first league center arena was full, and the home fans were either chatting in their seats, or waving flags and portraits in their hands, hoping that the 76ers players who were doing hot pre-game training in the stadium could see it, and even some fans began to sing in an organized manner, creating a very hot atmosphere, and they all hoped that their team could win the battle of Tianwang Mountain tonight.

Chang Wei's eyes involuntarily fell on Reed, and it could be seen that this guy really didn't train secretly this afternoon. He kept receiving the ball and shooting outside the three-point line, his movements were very smooth, and his shooting percentage was also impressive, Chang Wei showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, Reed's state has reached the peak he can achieve now, and this game is really worth looking forward to.

This time Brown is still going to use the horn tactic, but let Iverson use the breakaway to open up the situation on the inside, and then pass the ball to the shooters on the outside. If Iverson doesn't put pressure on the Lakers' interior, the opponent's defense can expand uncontrollably, making it difficult for outside shooters to get good shots under high-intensity defense.

Reed didn't raise any objections, and he didn't even have any expression on his face, but Chang Wei vaguely saw a cluster of slightly beating flames in his eyes, and he could see that this guy's desire to fight was quite strong. Although Brown's setup was for Iverson to break through the basket first, Reed would get a lot of shots whether he could open the game or not.

His performance in the last game was seen by many people, and Brown certainly knew it, but he didn't explain it to the players personally because it would probably hurt Lewis's pride. Although his performance in the last game was relatively average, he still completed his task as an outside containment point, and Brown didn't quite know how strong Lewis's mental capacity is now, so it's better not to pick out the words, anyway, everyone knows what to do.

The Zen master in the visiting locker room was also teaching the players, but he didn't think Reid would be a threat to the team, and his eyes were still on 76ers number one star Iverson. What Chang Wei didn't know was that the Zen master was ready to let Tyronn Lu be in charge of defending Iverson like in his previous life, in fact, this was indeed a clever move, in addition to being not as strong as Fisher's body, Lu was above Fisher in terms of speed and fighting spirit, so he could make Iverson disgraced in his previous life.

Lu was thrilled by the head coach's responsibility, he didn't expect Zen Master to give him such an important task, considering that he only played 38 regular season games for the team this season, averaging only 3.4 points and 1.2 assists in 12.3 minutes per game. But that's the style of a Zen master, and in addition to liking to work with top superstars, he's eclectic in his use of role players, and doesn't hesitate to assign tasks to his players whenever he thinks it can help the game.

After getting the starting lineups for both sides of the game, the 76ers had a very ordinary lineup, and this is the lineup they have used many times: Iverson, Reed, Bale, Lewis and Mutombo, which is their most balanced lineup offensively and defensively. But the Lakers' starting lineup was a big surprise, and the starting point guard was actually replaced! What guy is Taryn Lue?

Not only were national and other media reporters surprised, but even local reporters in Los Angeles were a little confused, only those reporters who had been covering Lakers news for a long time vaguely knew who Lu was, which also made them even more shocked, did the Zen master really dare to rashly use a new man in such an important game and let him start?

Whether you can understand it or not, the starting lineup of the Lakers in this game is like this, although everyone feels a little strange, but they can only hold back their curiosity and wait to see the effect of the game. If it weren't for the fact that the Zen master already had seven championship rings in his hands, everyone might start hacking him now, who gave you the courage to use such a substitute in such an important game?
