Coach Lee

Chapter 188

In late October, the NBA preseason kicks off.

The 76ers make their first game against the New York Knicks!

Before the game, the news media and experts were also looking forward to the new season of the 76ers.

"The joining of Larry Brown will definitely make the Philadelphia 76ers a strong team in the East."

"The Philadelphia Twins had an amazing season last season and we're looking forward to this season."

"The Philadelphia 76ers were one of the teams with the strongest offensive firepower last season. With Larry Brown's defensive system, the 76ers are definitely worth looking forward to."

Philadelphia, at night, Wachovia Center.

In just one preseason game, nearly [-] fans came!
Beside the entrance channel for the fans, Tina, a beautiful reporter with blond curly hair, is interviewing the fans who came to watch the game today.

"Which player do you like?"

A black guy wearing a hip-hop hat: "Aaron! Allen will definitely score 40 points today!"

An Asian female fan: "Lee! It must be Li! Because Li is the most handsome!"

"Who will win today's game?"

A fan of the enemy team accidentally interviewed: "Of course it's the Knicks!"

A female fan of the 76ers: "We should win the opponent by 30 points."

"What are your expectations for the 76ers this season?"

A gray-haired old fan: "Champion! Our 76ers want to win the championship!"

A middle-aged man with glasses: "My expectations are not high, well, the team will reach the Eastern Conference Finals."

Before the game, in the 76ers locker room, head coach Larry Brown stood in the middle.

"Next, let me talk about the starting lineup for this game."

When they heard the word first, some people naturally raised their hearts.

"Allen Iverson!"

"plum!"

"Clarence Witherspoon!"

"Kevin Cato!"

"Montrose!"

Larry Brown didn't keep it secret, he said it all at once.

Cato was a little flattered, he was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe his ears.

this time~
boom!
Coleman slapped the closet door, and the entire locker room resounded loudly.

Coleman didn't say anything, just looked at Larry Brown so firmly.

Larry Brown didn't even look at him, and said lightly:
"Okay, let's play!"

After everyone walked out of the locker room, Coleman, who was behind, also yelled!

"Don't let me start, why don't you trade me?"

Everyone heard the loud roar from the locker room.

Stackhouse, who was in the team, also had a bad face. "Yeah, you didn't let me start, but you traded me!"

As for the conversation the old man had with him a few days ago, he said that he wanted him to be the sixth man, the best sixth man.Stackhouse declined without thinking.

"No one wants to be a backup! No one!"

Beep!The game is on!
As soon as they came up, the 76ers players showed the fans the training results of the past half month.

"Oh, the 76ers' offense is beautiful, and this pass is wonderful."

"It's just, why don't you go to Coleman? I don't understand."

"The cooperation between the players is still very tacit. Larry Brown is worthy of being a famous coach."

The fans in the stands were very happy.

However, just 3 minutes into the game, the situation on the court immediately changed.

Ewing directly grabbed the basket and hit it!
The rookie Cato, who defended him misplaced, was knocked to the ground!
boom!
A dunk like a gorilla!

The phrase "come on, baby!" is given to rookies who have just entered the league.

Coleman on the bench snorted, "Hen~ trash!"

The fans at the scene shouted, "This is a foul, this is an offensive foul!"

However, this is not a foul!It's a good shot!Moreover, strictly speaking, this is still a defensive foul by Cato,

This is all because of the "reasonable collision zone" of the new rules.

Many fans finally understood after watching the game.This is a new rule that big men love to hate!

The game gradually opened, but the fans of the 76ers gradually became disappointed.

The 76ers' interior defense is too fragile, and it is really ugly to be ravaged by a 35-year-old guy like Ewing.

"Who said the 76ers' defense has gotten better? Isn't it the same garbage?"

"Academic coach Larry Brown is nothing more than that!"

"Actually, it's all the old man Stern's fault, what kind of broken rules did he change!"

However, what disappointed the 76ers fans even more was the 76ers' offense.

The 76ers' conduction of the ball at the beginning was still very comfortable.

However, as the game progressed, their passing became very purposeless, and it became passing for the sake of passing.

This also led to the fact that every attack turned into individual singles in the end.

Both Li Nan and Iverson seem to be in a bad state today.

The fans are also in a worse mood.

"Hey, Larry Brown is indeed a nightmare for young players! The Philadelphia Twins are about to be abolished."

"I miss last season so much. I won't be able to see that speeding scene this season."

"It's not just Allen and Lee, Jerry, Derek, Steve, they've all been weakened! This Larry Brown is here to sabotage!"

"It's not good on the defensive end. On the offensive end, the 76ers were quickly beaten back to their original shape. The game became a performance by the twin stars. It's a joke to share the ball."

Beep beep beep!
107-86
The 76ers' first game of the new season, a fiasco!

data:

Knicks:

Ewing only played 20 minutes, 22 points and 11 rebounds!

76ers:

艾弗森打了25分钟，24分4助攻，20投7中。

李南打了23分钟，20分2助攻，16中8。

. . . . . .

The media interviewed Larry Brown after the game.

"Coach Brown, what do you think of the loss in this game?"

Larry Brown was very relaxed, "This is just a preseason game! Moreover, our opponent Knicks was the third in the Eastern Conference last season!"

"Many people think that when you came to the 76ers, you didn't catch the 76ers' defense and buried the 76ers' offense. What do you think about this?"

"Heh~~ This is just the preseason. Our boys have to continue to work together!"

"Someone called you a rookie killer. The Philadelphia Twins didn't perform very well in this game. Do you have anything to say?"

"It's just pre-season. Coming back from the holidays, it's normal not to get fit so quickly. As the games go on, the lads will find their way. We'll see."

Then look down.

Then, everyone continued to play and watch.

In the second game, the 76ers lost to the Raptors 85-92!The Raptors in the Eastern Conference!

In the third game, the 76ers lost to the Celtics 82-98!The Celtics were last in the Eastern Conference last season!
Three-game losing streak in the preseason!

If the 76ers can't attack, they can't defend!There is no shape at all!

The media and fans in Philadelphia started to make trouble

"Larry Brown can't! His tactics are not suitable for the 76ers!"

"I won't talk about the offense, but why is the defense of the 76ers so bad? Larry Brown, are you still a famous coach?"

"Larry Brown might as well not come!"
