At the beginning of the second quarter, Brown's eyes widened, when did the Lakers start to play blocking? And it's Kobe Bryant and O'Neal's pick-and-roll! In the game, O'Neal is rarely seen to cover near the free throw line, he prefers to receive the ball directly inside and crush the opponent, but now he is playing with Kobe Bryant to block and pick, obviously entangled by the 76ers.

I have to say that O'Neal is indeed a very good covering wall, he is huge, and he easily blocked Bell, who was closely marking Kobe, on the other side, and Kobe Bryant smoothly got rid of the defense. Since the Lakers play blocking and dismantling, then the 76ers' interior must have someone to mention the high post to defend, Makloch obviously does not have this ability, and it is Mutombo who comes up to change the defense.

O'Neal's eyes flashed at Mutombo's side behind him, and he quickly turned around and rushed straight to the basket at a speed completely disproportionate to his massive body, while Bryant sent the ball through Mutombo's armpit just right. Makloch, who didn't have Mutombo around to help him, was clearly unable to stop O'Neal, who rushed to the basket like an armored car, and he was directly knocked to the side by O'Neal, who dunked with ease and made a defiant pull-up motion.

It's not O'Neal's usual way of scoring, but it's the best he's played since the start of the game. Mutombo's previous help defense forced him to be vigilant at all times, and only then would he feel like he was crushing the score as usual when he rushed directly to face Macloch, rather than playing with two defenders on the inside as before.

Brown's brows are furrowed, and Kobe Bryant and O'Neal's pick-and-rolls are also his first encounter, and they look difficult to defend. When O'Neal pulls to the high post as a cover, the 76ers must have someone inside to pull out to defend, either Mutombo or Makloch, if no one pulls to the high post, Kobe Bryant will shoot and score in the middle range after breaking in, which is the area he is best at. And if pulled out, O'Neal is fast enough for him to return to the basket in the first place to receive the ball and score, facing a big shark who has raised the speed to the highest, whether it is Mutombo or Makloche is vulnerable.

Obviously, the Lakers will continue to use this way to score in the future, whether it is Kobe Bryant or O'Neal, it is enough for the 76ers to drink a pot, and more importantly, this will make the 76ers' twin towers self-defeating, which is bad news for Brown. Of course, Chang Wei also saw the dilemma of the current team, and it is no longer realistic to use defense to limit the Lakers, the only thing that can be done is to attack against attack, in the previous life, didn't the 76ers also rely on Iverson's firepower to win the Lakers in this game?

However, Brown and Chang Wei have different ideas, he still wants Mutombo and Makloch to shrink to the basket, and if Kobe Bryant is ready to shoot from mid-range, he will step forward to make up for it. However, he was soon disappointed, because Bryant's shooting speed was so fast, and before Mutombo could go up to defense, he had already made a shot, and the shooting percentage was quite high.

Chang Wei frowned and said to Brown: "Coach, we can't go on like this, it's not something we can afford to let the two of them score crazy, since we can't contain it, then we'll attack against attack!" ”

Brown's face sank like water, he pondered for a while, and said solemnly: "But we can't guarantee that Deacon Bay alone can block Shaq on the inside, in case he can't stop it, then all our previous arrangements will not be in vain?" ”

Chang Wei shook his head and said: "It's useless to arrange anything now, let's adapt to the situation, I believe in everyone's offensive firepower, in the face of the Lakers, we still have a chance to win even if we play against the offense, it's better to let Shaq score on the inside, this is also no way, if we strengthen the firepower, we must make certain sacrifices on the defensive end." ”

"But...... We can't just give up on defense! If both points are opened, we will definitely die! ”

"It's okay, I think Laga is still very effective against Kobe Bryant, so he can stay on the court, and his three-point shot in the bottom corner can also bring some help to the team, and the rest ...... Let's use the offense to decide the winner! ”

Brown thought about it, and there seemed to be no better way now, although it seemed a little simple and crude, but maybe he could win in chaos. He nodded, replacing Mark Lodge with Lewis and Snow with Reed, which is already the strongest offensive lineup the team can put on given that the 76ers' No. 5 position does not have much offensive ability with the ball.

His idea is very simple, since he has decided to play against the opponent, it is best to break the opponent in a short time, so at this time, he must play a set of lineups with the most firepower in the team, even if O'Neal can turn the river and the sea on the inside, with the team's scoring ability, at least in the offensive aspect, it will not fall behind, maybe it can further open up the difference.

With the 76ers' very targeted substitution, Kobe and O'Neal found that their environment had changed significantly, but Kobe Bryant felt more and more difficult, and O'Neal felt more and more relaxed.

Now it's not just Bale who is responsible for defending Kobe, Reed also intervened, although his defensive ability can't be compared with Bell at all, but it's okay to create some trouble for Kobe, and the Lakers' outside scoring is basically on Kobe Bryant alone, and others have nothing to defend, so naturally Kobe Bryant feels a lot of pressure.

As for O'Neal, without Maklochi on the side, he feels like the inside line is a flat shot, which puts a lot of pressure on Mutombo. But he remembered that when he made the previous substitution, Brown seized the time to remind his ear, no matter what, he must do his best to limit O'Neal, and if he can't, he must ensure that he can grab the rebound.

As a veteran who has been in the league for many years, Mutombo naturally knows what he should do, and now that the team has put on the strongest offensive lineup, his own defense of O'Neal is only secondary, and the most important thing is to grab rebounds on O'Neal's head, whether it is offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, it is crucial for the team.

Under the trade-off, O'Neal naturally gives what he wants on the inside, and Fisher also gives the ball more to the inside, hoping that O'Neal can help the team score. Although O'Neal scored consecutive baskets, Brown still sat firmly on the sidelines of the Diaoyu Tai, and now it seems that the Lakers have the advantage on the inside, but if you look at it as a whole, I don't know who is taking advantage!
