It stands to reason that teams with a balanced interior and exterior are more likely to win games because they have a way to break no matter what kind of predicament they get themselves into. But in this game, the 76ers proved that it is okay to go off the rails, their core combination is three guards, and the interior is just a pure defensive player, and now they are pressing the Lakers to the ground and rubbing them.

It's hard for any team to have three good guards above average, so no one has considered playing like that in a game, and the 76ers have opened a new door for them. As Chang Wei said, the 76ers have a full range of backcourt players, Snow is responsible for defense and organization, Iverson can also share the task of organizing the offense, but he is more empty-handed and attacking the basket, while Reed is responsible for catching the ball and shooting on the outside, everyone has their own division of labor.

When all three guards are playing 100 percent or even 12 percent, the Lakers will be very difficult to stop. Lue and Kobe Bryant are certainly excellent defenders, but Fox can only defend with height in the face of small guards, and the 76ers often let Iverson deliberately go against him, using nimble footwork, feints and superhuman speed to directly pass Fox.

Despite O'Neal's constant scoring under the basket, the 76ers kept their grip on them, and despite the intermission, their grip did not slip in the slightest. In addition to the backcourt trio, Lewis also provided three-point shooting on the weak side, and his shooting percentage was quite good, and his presence emptied the Lakers' basket and gave his teammates more room to break through.

This surprised the Zen master, although the 76ers did not open the difference, but the Lakers could not narrow the difference, the second quarter was halfway played, the difference between the two sides was still hovering around 10 points, of course, the lead is still the 76ers. Watching the numbers on the timer keep getting smaller, the Zen master began to get flustered, which was completely different from what he had planned before the start of the game!

He couldn't help but set his eyes on Kobe, Kobe's shooting rate in this game was simply miserable, in addition to his own poor hand, Bell's appearance at the end of the first quarter also greatly consumed his physical strength, and now the Lakers can only rely on O'Neal to score alone, although his singles with the ball are not low, but it takes a lot of time to score each time, and often after scoring a goal, the opponent will return a shot, which makes him feel that his score has become useless.

Now the Zen master has no particularly good solution, for the first time he hates the lack of a third scorer in his lineup, looking at the situation on the court, he secretly made up his mind that no matter whether this game can be won or not, he plans to bring in a big reinforcement this summer, at least to bring a third scorer to the team in addition to Kobe and O'Neal.

However, in this game, he is already a clever woman, and there is no way to help the team except for the sudden outbreak of the "OK combination", but can Kobe and O'Neal really break out in this game? The Zen master was skeptical, and O'Neal's outburst was actually useless, and Kobe Bryant had to find his shooting crosshairs.

He soon breathed a sigh of relief, and Bryant seemed to open up after making a mid-range shot in front of Reed, scoring six points in a row to help the Lakers recover the score a little. On the 76ers' side, Lewis missed two consecutive shots from the outside, only Iverson burst to the basket and caused a foul and scored two free throws, and the situation on the court was reversed.

But before the Zen master could finish his delight, Reed completed a three-pointer in a transition attack, and according to statistics, he hit the most three-pointers this season, even 12 more than the second-place finisher. In fact, in this era, everyone generally chooses to go to the basket or dunk when playing fast break, because getting close to the basket can maximize the shooting percentage, but Reed did the opposite, he was confident in his three-point shooting, and he did not hesitate to tie seven in the finals.

This three-point chase directly dispelled the Lakers' scoring momentum, which made the Zen master feel very helpless, before his praise of Reed at the press conference was not a scene, he did appreciate this strong rookie very much, but unfortunately he and Kobe Bryant played in the same position, otherwise you can consider digging the corner of the 76ers and bringing him to Los Angeles.

With Reed's help, the 76ers regained the advantage on the court and maintained it until halftime, completely suppressing the simmering Lakers. This made Kobe Bryant feel very sad, and it was a joke for them not to have a single lead from the beginning of the game to the end of the first half, but now the joke has become a reality.

When the halftime whistle blew, Kobe Bryant was the first to leave through the players' tunnel, and the Zen master knew that he was in a bad mood, and did not deliberately let him stay and wait for his teammates to return to the locker room together. In fact, if it weren't for the head coach, he would have to watch from the sidelines, the Zen master himself wanted to pat his ass and leave, this half of the game was too aggrieved, which made him feel very unwilling.

After calming the Lakers players one by one, he left the court with the whole team and went to the locker room, where the Zen master decided to give everyone a beating at halftime, hoping that the strong desire to win would allow the Lakers to smooth out the difference in the third quarter. However, he scratched his head a little when he thought about Kobe's performance in the first half, and although Kobe Bryant played well in the second half of the second quarter, he was still very poor overall, shooting only 5 of 12, which is not the style of the league's top scorers.

Chang Wei is also curious about Kobe's state, he knows that this guy is now in a state of all-attribute +2, even if he can't block the killing Buddha and kill the Buddha, it is definitely not something that players like Snow and Reed can stop, but Kobe Bryant just handed over an unqualified report card, and it can be said that his dismal performance is the root cause of the Lakers' fall in the first half. This situation made Chang Wei puzzled, but now his system has not been upgraded, and he can't see the state of the opposing player, so he can only give up.

The 76ers can't care so much, and they won't care why Kobe Bryant is performing badly, anyway, it's a good thing for the team, so there's no need to continue to get to the bottom of it. Looking at the score on the scoreboard, everyone's excitement was written on their faces, if they had doubts about the lineup of the three guards before, then now the score of 65-53 has dispelled all the doubts in their hearts, you must know that this is the seven-tiebreaker of the finals, before they were difficult to score nearly 70 points in the half when facing the Lakers, but this time they did it, isn't this the credit of the new lineup?
