The 76ers won the game without any suspense, thanks to their excellent play on the defensive end. Under Brown's targeting, the Bucks scored only 82 points in the game, while the 76ers scored 95 points, of which Iverson scored a game-high 35 points and seven assists, and was the biggest contributor to the game.

Lewis's performance was a bit underwhelming in comparison, but 15+6+5 was already a good stat, and he only played 25 minutes and 42 seconds, which was also the time limit set for him by Brown before the game began. However, Lewis is still satisfied, which is a good comparison of the less than 20 minutes he played in his previous games.

This has once again fueled his enthusiasm for training, and Chang Wei is very pleased, and he even thinks that Lewis will be able to reach the level of 30 minutes per game in less than a week. Obviously, it is not the technique that limits him now, but only his physical strength, and Brown can see it very clearly, which allows Chang Wei to train Lewis well, hoping that he can contribute more to the team.

When Lewis played, Brown deeply felt the benefits of having such a shooting power forward, his outside shooting is rarely defended, and if he can defend it, it gives other 76ers players a chance to score. Although Lewis's performance on the defensive end is average, in Brown's opinion, the other four people in the starting lineup can defend, and there is no shortage of him, at most, Lewis is hidden when arranging defensive tactics, and it is good to not let the ball carrier and him be in the same position.

Chang Wei also thinks that there is no need to pay attention to Lewis's defense for the time being, because his defense was not good in his previous life, and he was often bullied with brute force. However, Chang Wei doesn't think that Lewis's defense can be ignored, in his opinion, any player must be at an average level at both offensive and defensive ends, especially the players he trains, but with his judgment of Lewis, this guy should be able to become a defender above average, after all, the defensive end and the offensive end are very different.

In the world of basketball, offense can eat talent, and as long as you are talented enough, have a lot of physical fitness, or shoot well, then you can be a good scorer. But defense is different, although defense is also about talent, but more about attitude, as long as you are willing to defend and take out the strength to entangle with the opposing player, then one day you will become a good defender, and this is the biggest difference between basketball players on the offensive end and the defensive end.

In the next few games, the 76ers have wins and losses, in fact, this is also normal, no team can only win forever and not lose, the longest winning streak in NBA history is the 33 consecutive wins created by the Lakers, and the best record is the 72-10 created by the Bulls, even these two extremely strong teams are not guaranteed to win all games, let alone the 76ers.

In those games, Lewis played a steady 25 minutes or so, and no more than 28 minutes at most, averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, while shooting 37.4% from three-point range, which has made Brown very satisfied. But at the same time, he also regretted that if Lewis was given more playing time, his stats would definitely be more than that, but Brown still put Lewis in the starting lineup, which is also out of trust in him.

Soon the 76ers will face the challenge of a strong opponent at home, and this strong team has a lot of roots with Brown and Chang Wei, that is, the Spurs coached by Popovich, and Lewis, as the team's starting power forward, will face another No. 21, who has become the league's top interior lineman and will also become a historical power forward, Tim Duncan.

Duncan's defense is very different from Garnett's, and although his physical qualities are also excellent, his defense is relatively low-key, focusing only on the final effect, and whether he looks good or not is completely out of his mind. From the nickname "Stone Buddha" given to him by Chinese fans, it can be seen that this guy is completely a calm and low-key but extremely powerful existence.

Chang Wei is not very optimistic about Lewis's performance, although his current physical rating is more than 80 points, Chang Wei thinks that Duncan should put much more pressure than Garnett, and he is also a player who can guard beyond the three-point line. Although the three-point shot is not yet fully on the rise, and there are even fewer projection power forwards, the demonic interior line still exists, and it is not surprising that their defense covers the entire three-point line and beyond, which is what Lewis has to face.

This game is important for the 76ers, who currently have the same record as the Lakers, who are first in the West, but only slightly behind, and if they can beat the Spurs, who are second in the West, it will be an unparalleled morale boost. But the Spurs are clearly not an easy opponent to deal with, and Popovich is better than the blue when it comes to coaching, and although he is still a little immature, he has gradually shown his skills in coaching, and it will take a lot of effort to beat his team.

And Lewis is obviously the most important part of the starting lineup, and if he can carry Duncan, the team's chances of winning will definitely improve a lot. But basically no one thought about it, and everyone even cast sympathetic eyes on Lewis, who thought that Lewis would be blown up, even Lewis himself was very annoyed.

But Chang Wei said to him privately: "We don't expect you to guard Duncan, so you have to spend more energy on the offensive end." As long as you can use the score to offset Duncan's score, it's a success. ”

Lewis breathed a sigh of relief, he knew his defensive skills, and it was absolutely impossible to defend against Duncan. Fortunately, now he only needs to score like crazy, which is relatively simple, of course, in the face of Duncan's defense, scoring is still a difficult task, but it is always an area he is more familiar with.

He nodded at Chang Wei and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to score, but I hope that the head coach can let me stay on the field for a while longer in this game......"

Chang Wei shrugged: "It's not up to me to have the final say, it still depends on your performance on the court." If you are directly beaten by Duncan, there is a chance that you will continue to be a cold bench, and if you want to play for a while, you have to fight for it yourself. ”

Lewis also shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know this, you just wait and see, now my stamina has increased a lot, and it should be useful." He smirked as he made a bodybuilder's gesture.
