Chapter 238: Blocking and Demolition

Bucks fans are looking at the situation on the court very tangled right now, and the scene of the two sides fighting each other is really beautiful, but now the home team is clearly on the back foot, and the fans are oscillating between the excitement of the game and the final victory.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, Karl was a little happy, because he felt that his top three scorers were in good shape in this game, and he thought that the team could win this game. But after Brown replaced Reed, the 76ers' firepower suddenly rose a notch, which made the Bucks players feel a lot of pressure, and the cheers of the fans could not make them relax, but became more nervous, after all, this is their first home game in this series, and everyone doesn't want to lose.

However, in many cases, it is not a subjective decision for players to lose or not, and under the bombardment of the 76ers, they quickly became the underdog, and it looks like the margin is about to widen further. Karl could only call a timeout to set up the tactics for his players, and he really didn't want to see his team lose to the same opponent again.

"Tim, we need you to cover in the high post, and then don't hit the inside again, I don't want to see your layup slapped outside the baseline. Once you're on the perimeter, you can break through, you can pass the ball, you can do whatever you think you can do, just remember to not miss and give the opponent a chance to counter-attack. ”

Thomas smiled and said, "Can you shoot directly, coach?" I think I can do something in terms of three-point shooting. ”

Karl shook his head and said, "I know you've got a long range, Tim, but leave the three-point shooting to the professionals, and hopefully you can get the ball into their hands near the free throw line in time!" ”

Thomas's eyes darkened, and he nodded and did not speak. He's confident in his three-point shot, but Carl has always pinned his hopes on Ray Allen and a few of them, so is there no place for a power forward like himself on this team? He couldn't help but set his eyes on Lewis, who was also listening carefully to the head coach's tactics, and then sighed secretly, when can he have Lewis's status among the 76ers in the Bucks?

After the game restarted, the 76ers players were surprised to find that the Bucks began to play pick-and-roll, although it is not a strange thing for shooting teams to play pick-and-roll, but the Bucks did rarely use such a routine before, and their shots often relied on the star to directly hold the ball alone, or to create shooting space by constantly moving the ball.

Thanks to Chang Wei's existence, everyone knows that the power forward in the Bucks is actually a guy who shoots as far beyond the three-point line as Lewis, and he also has a tough ball style that Lewis does not have. So when Thomas pulled up to the high post to cover, every 76ers player was on the lookout, and Lewis was certainly the most nervous of them all. He was educated by Thomas in the first meeting of the regular season, and now it is a bit difficult for him to defend.

However, Lewis soon found that it was a very laid-back task, as Thomas received the ball after the cover and did not shoot, but re-passed it to another teammate. At first, Lewis thought he was just trying to confuse himself, but after a few rounds, he found out that Thomas really didn't shoot, and the motivation of the defense immediately dropped a lot.

Thomas did want to do what Karl told him to do, but at the end of the day he was an offensive player, and he couldn't suppress his desire to shoot in the face of Lewis's paper-based defense. When the ball was once again in possession of the Bucks, Thomas received the ball after the cover, but he didn't plan to pass it anymore, but chose to shoot directly when Lewis was standing exactly like a stake, and the basketball obediently drilled into the basket like an eye.

Looking at Lewis, who was stunned in place, Brown jumped up from his chair and shouted at the room: "Rashad! Is it okay to keep your attention? If he shoots easily in front of you again, I think I'll have to think about substitutions! ”

Lewiston's face was flushed with shame, he didn't really care if Brown would replace him, he just felt that he was so embarrassed just now, who said that Thomas didn't shoot the first time and then didn't shoot the second, third, fourth or fifth times? I still took it for granted, so I easily gave up the space to shoot, which is undoubtedly a shame.

Seeing Thomas hit a three-pointer from the outside, Karl had a strange look on his face, and it stands to reason that he should be happy that the team has an extra point of firepower from the outside, but his expression is not excited. In fact, he has a habit of leaning heavily on Ray Allen, Cassel and Robinson, and he thinks everyone else should be supporting the top three shooters, while Thomas is mostly used as a wall of cover and rebounder.

This time he designed tactics for outside shooters, but he didn't expect Thomas to shoot a three-pointer on his own initiative, although it hit directly, but it was completely different from what he originally thought. However, he can't continue to let Thomas pass the ball to his teammates now, so he can only do what he wants, so the expression on Karl's face is extremely tangled.

Thomas doesn't care so much, his only idea is to help the team erase the point difference or even overtake, whether it is offensive or defensive, as long as he can contribute to the team, it doesn't matter what he does. It's just that in his opinion, it was the best choice for him to shoot in the offensive round just now, so although there was a conflict with the coach's arrangement, he simply shot neatly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with that, and of course, if he had hit the three-pointer directly, he might have been more cautious on the next offense. But now, since it seems to be a good hand, then the next round Thomas still intends to concoct the same way, Lewis's defense seems to him to be almost negligible, although he heard Brown yelling at Lewis for this negligence, he does not think that Lewis can defend himself with his spirits.

In fact, Lewis himself doesn't know if he will be able to affect Thomas's shooting next time, but he can't do nothing like wood on the court like this time, right? Although the probability of preventing Thomas's shot is negligible, Lewis will not allow himself to make such a mistake again, and if Thomas throws another three-pointer, where will the face go?
