Pick Westbrook

Chapter 50 Artest vs. His Old Master (Please recommend monthly ticket and collection)
Before the start of the game, Zhang Weiping found Li Lai in particular.

The performance of the Bucks this season can be called a miracle, and Li Lai's use of Yi Jianlian has made everyone's eyes shine.

In the words Zhang Weiping often chanted in his own circle: Without Li Lai, Yi Jianlian would not have succeeded in the NBA. The high-position card game and the main attack on the perimeter will become Yi Jianlian's unique skills in the NBA in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Weiping would like to get acquainted with the behind-the-scenes owner of the Bucks and the very young head coach of the team.

on the coach's bench.

Li Lai is still discussing some details and style of play against the Pacers tonight with Tyronn Lue.

After seeing Zhang Weiping standing in a very reasonable position not far from him for a long time, he finally raised his head.

Zhang Weiping spoke fluent English and said kindly, "Coach Li Lai, did you disturb your work?"

Although fluent, the spoken language is obviously mixed with local Chinese characteristics.

Li Lai, who could be regarded as going out and met fellow villagers with tears in his eyes, instinctively replied in Chinese: "It's nothing."

"Yo! Shu accent!"

Zhang Weiping said excitedly, "I'm from Changsha!"

In the end, Li Lai could only explain embarrassingly that he learned Chinese from a foreigner.

And Li Lai, who can speak Chinese, undoubtedly made Zhang Weiping a little closer. In the end, the two even directly called each other brothers.

Zhang Weiping asked curiously: "Brother, the Bucks once ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency at the beginning of the season, and even now they are second in the league.

What makes this team's offense so ferocious? "

Li Lai said directly: "Space! Because of the expansion of the offensive space and the effective deterrence formed by the outside line, we can frequently attack the open penalty area.

That's why the offense is so efficient. "

Then Li Lai's eyes narrowed and he suddenly thought of something very important, so he continued to say in Chinese: "The Bucks are a strong team."

"I am also very happy to have the support of Chinese fans."

"Please continue to pay attention to Yi Jianlian's performance in the team. He will undergo a complete transformation this season and gradually progress towards an All-Star player."

Zhang Weiping nodded while listening, but he always felt that there was something in Li Lai's words, and the other party still spoke in Chinese. Isn't this equivalent to directly speaking to the fans in front of the TV?
After looking around, Zhang Weiping finally discovered a strange phenomenon.

There were no Chinese sponsors at the scene!

"It's not scientific!"

Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian are the only Chinese players who have experienced in the NBA. As for the others, there is a high probability that they will not be able to play.

So under these two unique seedlings, why didn't Chinese sponsors join this traffic market?
First, it can enhance the influence of Chinese brands in the NBA, and second, it can also generate a strong publicity in China.

If Zhang Weiping remembered correctly, Yao Ming's Houston Rockets had as many as ten Chinese sponsors, and the amount of sponsorship exceeded ten million.

"How come there is no one here at the Bucks?"

After reading Li Lai's thoughts, Zhang Weiping, who was aggrieved in his heart, also assisted at this time and said: "The Bucks are very popular in China now, and the fans also like to see the Bucks' flexible offensive style of play.

Coupled with Coach Li Lai's fluent Chinese, I believe that after tonight, more people will like the Bucks team. "

Seeing that Zhang Weiping almost said that the sponsors are coming to invest, Li Lai smiled gratefully at him.

This buddy is handed over.

on the field.

Game start.

Pacers starting lineup: Point guard TJ Ford, shooting guard Mike Dunleavy, small forward Danny Granger, power forward Murphy and center Roy Hibbert.

"Another twin tower lineup."

Seeing this lineup, Kenny Smith almost laughed.

He has already commented on many games of the Bucks, so he can certainly say it to all teams in the league.

"When the Twin Towers lineup meets the Bucks, it will really be beaten badly."

The Bucks' two insiders go one stop outside the three-point line, how can this game be played?
Barkley said with a big smile: "The Bucks have achieved a record of 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

As long as they win tonight's game, they will be tied with the Magic for third place in the Eastern Conference. "

Originally, at the beginning of the regular season, everyone was still worried about the stability of the Bucks and commented that the opponent was just a flash in the pan.

But now a month has passed, and the Bucks' offense is still playing so smoothly, ranking second among all teams in the league.

Second only to the Suns, who averaged 109 points per game.

"But the Bucks are far better defensively than the Suns.

Since they got Artest, the defense has jumped to No. 13 in the league. "

Kenny Smith reminded.

This is the current Bucks.

The offensive end is terribly strong, and the defensive end is above the league average.

As long as they're hot that night, there's no other team that's going to stand against them.

The Bucks' special offensive tactics have also become a nightmare for most teams in the league.

So far no team has been able to completely defend against the Bucks' offensive system.

The only thing that is well restricted is that the Nuggets' Billups restricted Westbrook, the core of the ball, which hindered the Bucks' offensive tactics.

But it was only blocked, and the Bucks quickly switched to another set of tactics with Yi Jianlian as the core of holding the ball, which also made the Nuggets defense very uncomfortable at that time.

"The Pacers can't be the Bucks' opponents, and they, who mainly play the Twin Towers lineup, are still restrained to death in the lineup.

That makes it harder for them to take on the Bucks. "

Barkley sighed.

Bucks coaching bench.

Li Lai called all the players to his side and said, "Do we know how to play tonight's game?"

Westbrook preemptively said: "Whack the Pacers crazy, beat them to death, beat them defenseless, throw their hands up and surrender."

George Hill opened his eyes wide and said, "I will never forget tonight's game after playing them forever."

Yi Jianlian touched his nose and reminded: "But don't forget that our main attack point in this game is Ron.

Everyone remember to make more balls for him later. "

Artest didn't think of tonight's game as a game against his former owner. After all, almost four years have passed.

However, coach Li Lai and his teammates all regarded this matter as extremely important, and kept encouraging Artest to beat the Pacers to the ground in person.

In the original words of Coach Li Lai: How many four years does a professional player have?You Pacers said that they traded to the Kings, and they traded. This wasted youth is worthless?

So Artest can only squeeze his fist happily.

"I can't help it, the atmosphere is in place, so I can only go up helplessly, hehehe."

The players entered the arena. At this time, the banker's life arena erupted like a tsunami of curses.

All the Indiana fans were yelling at Artest on the court.

"You bastard, why are you back again!"

"Pacers, kill him!"

"Didn't he already be beaten to death by us when he was in the Kings!"

"But he's with the Bucks now."

"Then kill him again!"

"revenge!"

"I want revenge~"
