Chapter 363: One Hundred Percent

Shooting training is actually very boring, although in the history of the NBA, there are countless shooting as simple as eating and drinking celebrities who have formulated a very intense shooting training for themselves very inhuman, and many players will consciously practice shooting on weekdays, but if you really shoot for more than an hour, it will really make people vomit blood.

However, Brown obviously didn't intend to take the feelings of his players to heart, and this shooting training was more of a punishment than a drill, so no matter how bad the long shooting training was, Brown also ignored the constipated look on their faces. Finally, the training was over, and everyone was relieved, they didn't want to do this kind of shooting training again, so everyone secretly made up their minds that the same problem must not occur again in the next game.

So at the beginning of the fourth game, they showed a hot hand. This time Brown didn't start with the lineup that focused more on breaking and inside scoring in the previous game, but the regular lineup they used the most this season, but it was this lineup that directly beat the Celtics to the hood, and their shooting percentage was just too high.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, the 76ers scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting, knowing that this was the overall performance of the whole team, not one person. It's not without players in the history of the NBA who have shown a 100 percent shooting percentage in a single quarter, and even if they maintain a 100 percent shooting percentage throughout the game, there are many teams who can start the game with 100 percent shooting.

And this time the 76ers did, and their back-to-back shots left the Celtics with no defensive rebounds to grab, a feeling of powerlessness that would be frustrating. The Celtics didn't play as hard as they did in the last game, but they just returned to their normal level, but the 76ers took it to the next level.

In the end, the 76ers players missed the first shot of the game due to the interference of the opponent, but they were not frustrated because it was not their fault that the opponent interfered with the shooting. However, they still accelerated the movement of the ball under Iverson's leadership, and as long as the ball was given the right space, it was difficult for the last person to shoot to be interfered with.

Perverted shooting allowed the 76ers to score 21 points just over halfway through the first quarter, and they averaged just over 30 points in the first quarter this season. This made O'Brien feel helpless, although the Celtics have relied on defense to win for a long time, but now he has no good cards in his hand to limit the opponent's play, and the only thing he can do is to play against the 76ers.

In the previous games, the two sides still achieved some results, but this time they hit an iron plate. Offense means a noticeable drop in effort on the defensive end, which allows the 76ers to find more gaps to score, while the Celtics are not as good as their opponents in scoring, which puts them in a bind.

Even so, the 76ers won't hold back, sportsmanship is usually taught after the game is over, and when you're dying, it's enough to remember to kill you while you're sick. Although the 76ers didn't do enough on the defensive end, allowing Pierce and Walker to get a lot of shooting opportunities, they directly penetrated the opponent's defense on the offensive end, making the Celtics' defensive system useless. It is true that the Celtics' defense this season is relatively average, but it is also unpredictable for many people to be blown up like this, and it obviously does not help them regain the initiative.

Although the team's 100 percent shooting rate could not be maintained, the 100 percent shooting rate of the players continued, and although Reed and Iverson were the focus of the Celtics' defense, they were like gods, and they could send the ball into the basket with every shot. Iverson, in particular, also hit a difficult negative angle jumper, which was literally from behind the rebound, but he bounced a few times on the basket and rolled in, leaving the Celtics players sighing.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers scored 45 points in one fell swoop, shooting more than 60% from the field. When your opponent is able to maintain such a high shooting percentage, you will find that your defense is like paper, because no matter how hard you try, they will keep scoring points on your head, which creates the illusion that you can't beat your opponent, and it's good not to feel frustrated.

At the break, Brown praised the players for their performance in the first quarter, after all, it was the first time this season that they scored 45 points in a single quarter, and it was the first quarter, so you can imagine how quickly they got into the groove. However, he also warned everyone that they must not be underestimated, and there are not a few teams that went out of the way in the first quarter and then withered directly. Of course, if the 76ers can continue to maintain such a shooting rate in the second quarter, then they can fully realize their desire to break the opponent at halftime.

O'Brien was also in full swing to assign tasks to the players over there, and he asked everyone to improve the enthusiasm of the defense, try to ensure that the ball carrier is covered, and if there is cover, he can change the defense immediately, and do not give the opponent a chance to shoot in an open position. Of course, O'Brien also knows that he is only doing his best, and if the 76ers can maintain such a perverted shooting rate, then it is useless to defend in place, after all, people can completely ignore your defense and shoot the basketball.

As O'Brien expected, the 76ers' shooting touch did not cool down after the start of the second quarter, although it was not as perverted as the first quarter, but they were comfortable with both forced shots and open positions in the confrontation. And there was an embarrassing whistle and a gesture from the referee and one. Forced shooting is easy to cause the opponent to foul, but it is not so easy to get additional penalties, but only a third of the second quarter, the 76ers have already played three 2+1, such a high frequency makes O'Brien's face very ugly, after all, he is asking for urgency.

The margin between the two sides continues to widen, and it looks like a deeply unbalanced battle, with the Celtics shooting 11.3 percentage points lower than the 76ers, which is not a small number, and if they can't improve their shooting percentage or reduce their opponents' shooting percentage, then there is almost no doubt that they will be in for another defeat.
