Chapter 48 Responding to the development trend of the Alliance

They trailed by 13 points in the first quarter, forcing Bret to fall behind. Brown called a second timeout.

Taking advantage of the pause, the TNT commentator who broadcast the game live commented on the game.

Kenny. Smith shouted, "Who could have imagined that the 76ers, who were so imposing at the start of the season, would become so weak after missing a player!" ”

Barkley also said, "While the Philadelphia 76ers have had a fantastic start to the season, they are having a hard time right now. During this time, the media's evaluation of Zhang Zifeng was somewhat unfair. But as a player, the best counterattack to the media that criticize him is to speak with action, and Zhang Zifeng must step up at this time to prove that he can lead the 76ers forward. ”

TNT brought in Chris Webber to comment on the game, "The last game was a heavy loss to the Celtics, and this one started with a big score down. It proves that the 76ers have big problems with the current lineup. Noll can't replace Embiid's role, who will replace Embiid, this is a problem that the 76ers need to solve! ”

76ers head coach Brett. Brown was also very anxious.

Knoll's offensive ability and Embiid are not at all on the same level, and when the ball gets into his hands, it basically comes to a standstill.

But power forward Ibaka is also a defensive forward, who used to partner with Embiid, one attack and one receiving, and they just complement each other.

But now that the two defensive interior lines are together, plus Grant, who only has three points in the bottom corner, the 76ers' interior is basically incapable of attacking with the ball on the offensive end.

By the way, there is also Rondo, who has unreliable shooting and basically relies on breakthrough scoring.

The Nets strengthened their defense against Zhang Zifeng's perimeter and then hoarded the interior.

Even if Zhang Zifeng breaks into the inner line, he will fall into the crowd, and there is no room for him to show at all.

can only pull to the outside to shoot, and on several occasions Zhang Zifeng can only carry Harris to shoot.

No matter how good Zhang Zifeng is, it is difficult to maintain the shooting rate in this situation, and it also causes the 76ers to make many mistakes.

Changes have to be made to find a way to solve this dilemma.

Otherwise, not only this one, but the next games will be difficult to play.

The strength of the starters is in front of you, and no amount of adjustment can solve the problem of players piling up in the offensive area.

And if you want to make Noll improve their strength in an instant, it is simply impossible to learn outside offensive skills.

It can only be a personnel adjustment, but who is better?

Brett. Brown glanced at the benches in his chair and saw that Dario. Sharich, the eyes lit up.

Dario. Šarić, a rookie who is a two-forward who can easily rotate at the No. 3 and No. 4 positions, has shown good shooting touch and court vision in the previous games.

And compared to Noel and Ibaka, he has the ball and playmaking, and although he is poor on the defensive end, the athletic Ibaka should be able to fill in in time.

Now the league is popular with one big belt and four small, and the Warriors are one of them, and the Cavaliers often use this lineup.

If the 76ers want to make a difference in the playoffs, these two teams will not be able to overcome it.

It is also a good opportunity to take this opportunity to see if the 76ers also put on a large lineup with four small ones to see if it works.

Come to think of it, Brett. Brown put Dario. Sharic called out, and then beckoned the other players to come around.

Brett. Brown held the tactical board and shouted as he drew the tactical map: "Noel, Dario, you up." We need to speed up the tempo and play quick counter-attacks. I know we haven't practiced this before, but as long as we get the other side to follow our rhythm, we can win. Rajan, with your strength and experience, I am sure you will be able to control the rhythm. Isn't it? ”

Rajan. Rondo proudly says, "Of course, that's my specialty!" ”

"Okay, Rajan controls the tempo and organizes the attack. When you counterattack, Jack and Dalio you run on both sides, and Jamila you go to the bottom corner, and you shoot when you have the chance. Sergi will help us get the rebounds back! Is that right? ”

Ibaka affirmed, "Of course! ”

Brett. Brown stretched out his hand and shouted loudly, "One, two, three, attack!" ”

"Attack!"

After returning from a timeout, the 76ers were seen ripping off Noll and replacing him with first-year rookie Dario. Sharich.

Kenny. Smith shouted, "Oh, the 76ers made a change, they replaced center Noll with a rookie forward Dario. Sharich. In that case, Ibaka will be pushed to the center of the striker. One big belt and four small, but the 76ers also want to respond to the trend of league development and play a small lineup. Or Brett. Brown is already exhausted and wants to gamble! Let's wait and see! ”

The timeout came back and the game continued.

As soon as he received the sideline ball, Rondo quickly dribbled past the half, and passed the ball to Zhang Zifeng as soon as the half.

After Zhang Zifeng got the ball, he immediately attracted the attention of the Nets.

Harris hurriedly posted it and didn't give Zhang Zifeng a chance to shoot.

Zhang Zifeng moves sideways with the ball, and Dario. Sharich made a cross-cover fit.

As soon as he crossed, Zhang Zifeng passed the ball to Sharic, and then ran to the right to take away the defender.

While Booker didn't know whether to pounce or retract to the interior defense, Saric jumped directly outside the three-point line to shoot.

Booker reacted then that the ball had passed through the Nets.

Score the ball, score!

Seeing that the scoring drought of nearly 3 minutes was finally broken, the 76ers players were very happy and high-fived each other as they ran back.

Seeing the 76ers play offensively, Kenny. Smith shouted, "Oh, rookie Sharic helped the 76ers break the scoring drought. Does that mean the 76ers are out of the woods, or is it just a flash of inspiration, let's stay tuned for the game, and the game will tell! ”

Although the intensity of the interior defense has decreased with the replacement of Sharic, the outside defense led by Zhang Zifeng has remained unchanged.

Under Zhang Zifeng's entanglement, veteran Harris failed to find a breakthrough opportunity, so he had to pass the ball to Trevor Booker on the inside.

Trevor Booker relied on his physical strength, pushed the inside line to try to eat Sharic, and when he turned to make a layup, he was solidly covered by Ibaka, who came in time.

It continued to be the Nets' possession, but there were less than six seconds left on the offense.

When Whitehead received the ball, he could only barely make a shot under Rondo's interference.

The result is not surprisingly striking iron.

Zhang Zifeng grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.

Harris interfered all the way, and the rest of the Nets players hurriedly ran inside to prevent Zhang Zifeng from hitting the basket.

Zhang Zifeng made a feint to attract the attention of the Nets, and passed the ball to Sharic, who was following him.

Sharic didn't waste Zhang Zifeng's assist, and he hit another three-pointer.

Two three-pointers in a row made Nets coach Lionel Hollins no longer dare to take the rookie lightly.

He stood on the sidelines of the court and shouted, "Trevor pay attention to defense, don't give the opponent a chance to shoot!" ”

Hearing the head coach's instructions, in the next round, Trevor Booker followed out to mark Sharic.

As soon as Trevor Booker ran out, the Nets' interior line suddenly opened a lot, which gave Zhang Zifeng a chance.
