Chapter 262: The Challenge Starts Now

In the fourth quarter, the 76ers tried to chase the score as soon as they came up, and the way they chose was to shoot three-pointers from the outside, which is what they are best at, and of course it is also the most suitable way to score at this stage, after all, the gap of 17 points is still too big, if it is just chasing point by point, it is likely that there will be no time to win the reversal in the end.

However, the Lakers did not panic, and the role players, led by Fisher, began to stalk opponents defensively, after all, the 76ers have near-zero scoring ability in the low post, and they can recklessly expand the defense beyond the three-point line. In the face of the Lakers' high-intensity defense, coupled with the change in their own mentality, the 76ers' three-point shooting rate is quite dismal, if it were not for Mutombo desperately grabbing rebounds on the inside, the difference between the two sides is estimated to have been stretched to more than 20 points.

Brown sat in his seat and didn't move, but his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he knew that he couldn't help but make any adjustments to save the game. Originally, he was pinning his hopes on Iverson, Lewis and even Reed, but the OK duo showed strong dominance from the start of the second half, which the 76ers players could not do.

Chang Wei was even more irritable than Brown because he had been thinking about the task of the system since the beginning of the third quarter. This task is something he has never encountered before, and the previous task will clearly explain the reward after the task is completed, but the reward of this task actually depends on the completion of the task, and it is obvious that it is not a simple thing to complete.

Chang Wei is still pondering here, and the 76ers over there have no power to fight back, although the difference has not reached 20 points, but it is almost there. In desperation, Brown waved off all of his main players and let the substitutes play the last bit of time, and the priority for him now is to make sure that the main players are not injured and that they do not consume a lot of energy in this game.

Amid cheers from the entire Staples Center, the 76ers players hurriedly shook hands with each other and strode into the players' tunnel, leaving the Lakers' wanton celebrations behind. In the locker room, everyone hurriedly took a shower and left after a few perfunctory words to the reporter, they didn't want to stay here to see the triumphant expression of their opponent.

Brown didn't pour chicken soup right away, what the players need now is to rest, a loss in one game is not a big deal, at least now the 76ers are still leading 2-1, and now this is the opponent's home court, and it is normal to lose an away game in a series. This is why the 76ers rushed to beat the Lakers to the top of the league in the final stage of the regular season, in order to have a home-court advantage in the Finals.

Now that they've gotten their first two home games on the road, it's acceptable to lose on the road. No one would think that they could sweep the Lakers by a big score, even they themselves dare not imagine that 2-1 is a big score within the normal range, even if the difference between the two sides is relatively large, they did not take it to heart.

But there is still one person on the team who continues to struggle, and that is Chang Wei, who is the only person on the entire team who knows that the Lakers are great, and he still doesn't know if there is any way for the team to beat the opponent, more precisely to beat the OK combination. According to Chang Wei's idea, the only people in the team who can help the team win with the blessing of props, Iverson, Lewis and Reed, but how they can explode their own small universe under the restrictions of the system still needs Chang Wei to think carefully.

Seeing Chang Wei's sad look, Brown patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Chang, don't worry too much, this is not in Philadelphia, it is normal for us to lose the game." Even if we lose both games, we'll make them look good when we get back home, because we're the team with the best regular season record in the league! ”

Chang Wei really doesn't want to hit the ambitious coach, he can't say that the Lakers are so awesome that no one can stop them now, right? Not to mention whether anyone will trust his judgment, even if everyone believes him, it will be quite demoralizing. For any team, as long as they lose this breath, then the next game will not be played.

After returning to the hotel, Chang Wei did not go to sleep immediately, but lay on the bed in a daze to think about the problem, and the other assistant coach in the same room, Halt, was already asleep, snoring one after another, but it could not interfere with Chang Wei's train of thought at all.

In terms of style of play, Iverson is more focused on speed, and as long as he can get him up and down to the basket, he can shoot very highly. Lewis and Reed, on the other hand, pay more attention to the shooting touch, and they are more likely to run out of the open space and then catch and shoot in the game. It's not that there are no props to improve the speed of advancement and the feel of shooting, but Chang Wei doesn't plan to use them easily, and there must be loopholes in such strict rules set by the system, let alone completely impossible tasks.

Suddenly, Chang Wei thought of a flaw, the system said "use a prop that can change the outcome of the game on a single player in the entire series", so what if it is before the game starts? Is there no limit to the use of props?

After receiving the system's affirmative reply, Chang Wei couldn't help but wave his fist fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that Halt was already asleep, he might have yelled in the room. Obviously, as long as you can improve the strength of these three guys before the start of the game, then you will have a chance to beat the Lakers in the game, after all, the 76ers' firepower points are relatively scattered, and the Lakers can only rely on the OK combination of these two people, considering the individual strength, in fact, the defensive difficulty of the two sides is almost the same.

In addition to these three scorers, the 76ers generally send two pure defensive players, Bell and Mutombo, but the Lakers are very short of such players. Of course, the Zen master can send Tyronn Lue to defend Iverson like in his previous life, but you must know that Iverson is not the same as in his previous life, and his teammates have also improved more than one notch.

Now that he has determined his idea, Chang Wei began to rummage in the Miracle Mall, anyway, he has a lot of prestige now, and he can fully support the consumption of this round of the series. What's more, only three people will benefit, and the consumption of prestige will be much less, as for the two defensive players Bell and Mutombo, Chang Wei really can't ask more of them, after all, they have to face Kobe Bryant and O'Neal directly on the defensive end, and then using props doesn't seem to have any effect.
