11月3日，体育媒体平台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人队的进攻策略，并分析了杰伦·布朗是否能够适应马克西在比赛关键时刻掌控进攻的局面。
During a conversation with a league executive last Friday, Windhorst revealed that he was informed of Nick Nurse's exceptional contributions to shaping the team's offensive philosophy. Nurse has successfully encouraged his players to embrace ball distribution, thereby alleviating the pressure on individual players to claim shooting opportunities. Instead, the team's focus has shifted towards executing a cohesive offensive strategy, which has yielded positive results. The executive expressed his admiration for Nurse's work and also praised the players' willingness to adopt the new system. It is crucial, he emphasized, for players to comprehend the rationale behind their coach's decisions and to genuinely commit to implementing them.
Windhorst随后传达了该高管的其他见解：“他透露，他对76人队在第四节的表现持续保持关注，并注意到杰伦·布朗经常驻足于底角位置。”布朗在上赛季曾提及，那是一段他尤为喜爱的时光，因为球权几乎始终牢牢掌握在他手中，甚至在比赛的最后关头也不例外。目前，布朗并未出现任何问题，也未流露出任何不满的情绪。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全局、其他球员协同参与的进攻模式？
目前，球队持续取得胜利，这一点无疑至关重要。然而，对于费城76人队而言，一个不容忽视的挑战是，杰伦·布朗是否能够接受自己有时可能只是球队的第三或第四进攻选择？同样，乔尔·恩比德在长期发展过程中，是否能够适应这样的定位？这些问题亟待解决。虽然胜利在一定程度上有助于缓解球星间的角色争议，76人队正凭借其连胜势头逐步化解这些问题。此外，我还观察到，在一场关键的紧张对决中，当布朗被安排在替补席时，他依然全神贯注，情绪高涨。因此，我并非在暗示球队面临困境，而是如实转述了一位高层管理人员所表达的观点。
