11月3日,据24直播网报道,ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst与Tim MacMahon在《The Hoop Collective》播客中深入探讨了费城76人的进攻策略,并就杰伦·布朗是否能够适应马克西在关键时刻掌控进攻的局面展开了讨论。
On Friday, Windhorst disclosed that he had engaged in a conversation with a senior official of the league. The official highlighted Nick Nurse's exceptional role in shaping the team's offensive philosophy, noting how Nurse encourages his players to distribute the ball freely. This approach eliminates any contention over who should take shots, allowing all players to concentrate on executing the team's offensive strategy, which has proven to be effective. The official praised Nurse's efforts and also expressed admiration for the players' readiness to embrace the system. He emphasized that players need to comprehend the rationale behind their coach's decisions and wholeheartedly commit to carrying out the strategy.
Windhorst随后转达了那位高管的见解:“他透露,自己密切留意了76人在第四节的表现,并注意到杰伦·布朗有时会驻足于底角。布朗在上赛季曾提及,那是一个他尤为珍视的赛季,因为球权几乎始终由他掌控,尤其是在比赛的决战阶段。目前,布朗并未表现出任何不适,亦未流露过任何不快情绪。然而,人们不禁要问:他是否能够持续适应马克西在关键时刻掌控球权、其他球员共同参与的进攻模式?”
在连续取得胜利的过程中,76人展现出了强大的竞技实力,这一点无疑是至关重要的。然而,球队必须正视的一个挑战是,杰伦·布朗是否能够适应自己在某些情况下只是第三或第四位的进攻选择?而恩比德,从长远来看,他是否能够适应这样的定位?这些问题都是球队必须解决的。胜利无疑有助于缓解明星球员之间的角色冲突,而76人正以不断的胜利来逐步解决这一问题。此外,我还观察到,在一场紧张激烈的比赛中,当布朗被替换下场时,他依然全神贯注,情绪高涨。因此,我并非在暗示球队面临任何问题,只是转述了一位高层管理人员所分享的观点。
