Chapter 288: Knowing Mistakes Can Be Corrected
When Brown walked into the post-game press conference, there was a strong sense of frustration. In the face of the reporters' sharp questions, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "I made a serious mistake in the game......
This beginning surprised the media reporters present, in fact, they thought that Brown didn't seem to make any mistakes in the game that could determine the outcome of the game, they just wanted to criticize the 76ers for not winning the championship early, at this time they seemed to collectively suffer from amnesia, although the 76ers are the regular season champions, but the Lakers are the defending champions.
A local media outlet in Los Angeles stood up and gloated and asked, "So may I ask Mr. Brown, what mistake did you make?" ”
As soon as this question came out, not only the Philadelphia reporters glared at this guy, but the other neutral reporters also frowned slightly, which was undoubtedly quite impolite. But this is the Staples Center, the home court of the Lakers, and they just won the game and equalized the score, so the rest of the group will have to protest silently.
"I'm sorry sir, I can't tell you," Brown shook his head, "I can only say that I didn't have much time left when I realized I had to make it right, so you can all see that we played badly in the last few minutes." But I won't make that mistake again in the next game, and I'm going to help Philadelphia win another trophy! ”
Since Brown said so, the Los Angeles reporter couldn't continue to ask, and he could only speculate in his heart about what mistake Brown made in this game. Of course, he would never have thought that the mistake Brown said was that he didn't follow Chang Wei's advice when the game was anxious, and by the time he wanted to adjust, it was too late.
After a few casual remarks, Brown briskly left the room, leaving room for the Zen master and the triumphant local Los Angeles media, whose smile looked sarcastic to the loser, whatever it contained. Besides, now that the tiebreaker is just a few days away, he must hurry up and get Iverson, Reed and Snow to play together.
Yes, he already plans to use the three-guard lineup that Chang Wei described in the tie-break, at least when the rotation starts in the second half of the first quarter. In the games that have just ended, Brown has already seen the power of a back three, and although his cautious personality makes him reluctant to make changes to the starting line-up, it is still possible to use it in the rotation.
To put it bluntly, the meaning of the existence of the back three is to improve the team's offensive speed, and at the same time liberate Iverson as a scoring point. With Iverson's strength and talent, he can certainly score and play, but it is difficult to reach a good level at the same time, because the Lakers have sent Tyronn Lue to him, and Iverson has yet to find a solution to this guy.
When Iverson is entangled by Lu, even the overall speed of the team will drop significantly, because he is responsible for distributing the ball on the field. But if Snow is allowed to play, he can take over the responsibility of organizing the offense, plus he is not a top offensive player like Iverson himself, he only occasionally breaks through and throws open three-pointers, if the opponent still stubbornly uses Kobe Bryant to play against him, he can't ask for it, anyway, if I don't shoot, what can you do to me?
If nothing else, the Zen master will still let Kobe Bryant defend Reed and Fox defend Snow, so there's nothing to worry about, isn't that the same as most of the time? However, Brown still has a little hesitation in his heart, the defense of this lineup is really a little unsatisfactory, Bell was deliberately put by Brown to play against Kobe, so he has no problem playing small forward with the height of a point guard, anyway, Fox has no offensive ability and does not need him to defend.
But Snow is different, he doesn't have a disadvantage in height, but he has to work more on the organizational side, and on the contrary, he may not be as professional as Bale on the defensive end. Of course, Snow is also an above-average defender, but the team's overall defense has definitely slipped since he replaced Bale, which means that Mutombo has to contribute more under the basket.
However, every game that has gone before has shown that trying to defend the Lakers' offense is nothing short of a dream. Maybe they can limit the Lakers in a few rounds or for a certain period of time, but it's too difficult to do it for the whole game, and it can be done when O'Neal first came to the Lakers and Kobe Bryant was just starting out, forget it now, the OK combination has already won a championship, they have long evolved into a real championship combination, and there is no one who can trouble them!
Since there is no way to let the opponent score fewer points, he can only score more points himself, which is the fundamental reason why Brown is ready to follow Chang Wei's advice and move the back three to the court. Even if he only plans to let them rush in rotation time for the time being, what bad if he can take the opportunity to pull the score away? The effect always speaks for itself.
After returning to the bus, Brown deliberately found Chang Wei and whispered: "Chang, I have to apologize to you, your advice is very good, but I didn't follow your advice at the right time, which led to us going back to play the seventh game." ”
Chang Wei was so frightened that he bounced up from his seat, he waved his hand again and again and said: "Coach, I believe you have your considerations, we lost only because we are not strong enough, and it has little to do with tactics or anything." Besides, I can't guarantee that I will be able to beat the Lakers on the road with a three-guard guard, which is just a very immature idea for me, and it is necessary to be cautious. ”
Brown patted him on the shoulder and smiled and said, "I'm going to experiment with this combination after the rotation lineup comes on in the next game, but before that I have to train them and I need your help, always." Maybe they can help us get the O'Brien Cup, and you'll be the biggest contributor, even if it's only behind the scenes. ”
Brown laughed out loud as he spoke, proud of his witticism. Chang Wei also laughed, he didn't care if he was in front of the stage or behind the scenes, as long as the team could win, he did it in Villanova and Colorado, and now it's the 76ers' turn. According to his character, it is better to stay behind the scenes, after all, he is very afraid of trouble, as long as he can easily complete the task, he never intends to make trouble for himself.
But this time, he nodded and said, "It's my pleasure, Coach!" ”
