Chapter 159 Boss Substitute?Sudden villain! (Second update, please subscribe)
April 4, Bucks video room.

"So, Reggie Miller is not on the starting lineup?" He Li couldn't help asking when he saw the starting lineup list given by the Pacers.

In fact, things are already very clear. The Pacers' starting lineup will indeed not send Reggie Miller.

Before the start of the game, the activation list for the playoffs will be reported to the league officials, and the starting list will be passed to the home team.

The Bucks learned that the starting lineup given by the Pacers is the starting lineup that the Pacers will send out in the game tonight.

As for why He Li would ask such a question, the main thing is that he still finds it a bit inconceivable.

This is Reggie Miller!The well-deserved boss of the Pacers, the core of the team, but Reggie Miller said that the substitute is the substitute?

Ah... this!It's so funny, it's magical.

"It's probably like learning from the Pistons. The Pacers are not our opponents in the starting lineup. They can only think of ways to come off the bench!" George Karl said disapprovingly.

The players' mobile phones were confiscated, and they were locked in a specific hotel, with no way to obtain outside information.

But the coaching staff is different. The coaching staff must accept the information from the outside world, then analyze it, and use data analysis to help the team go further.

During these two days, the Bucks coaching staff watched and analyzed the videos of a total of 16 games played between the 8 playoff teams in the previous two days.

Among them, the game between the Pistons and the Celtics is the focus of the Bucks' analysis. After all, they are likely to meet in the Eastern Conference semifinals next.

A good fighter does not fight uncertain battles!Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles.

Moreover, the Pistons did have a lot of adverse effects on the Bucks at the last moment of the regular season.

There is one thing to say, studying the Pistons' game videos is really not without any gains.

Pistons coach Rick Carlisle was really interesting. In the first game of the playoffs, he put Jerry Stackhouse, the head of the Pistons, on the bench.

Both the Pistons and the Celtics are the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, but the difference between the two is that the Celtics are a giant in the NBA, and now they have the twin stars of Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker.

Judging from the gorgeousness of the lineup, the Celtics are indeed stronger and better than the Pistons.

But in this case, Carlisle overcame all opinions and put Stackhouse, the only star of the Pistons, on the bench.

Then use the iron-blooded defense of the starting lineup to lock the Celtics' offense.

Immediately afterwards, Stackhouse's inefficient offensive ability, combined with the overall defensive ability of the Pistons, dragged the Celtics into an ugly "snail race" game.

And the result of this is that Carlisle and the Pistons, who were mentally and unintentionally, won the victory.

78 to 82, the Pistons won at home. Just looking at the score, it seems that they won't win much.

But in fact, from the second quarter of a normal game, the Pistons have maintained a scoring lead.

Facts have proved that in the playoffs, defense can indeed win easily.

And inefficient scoring stars are also stars in the playoffs, and inefficient scoring can sometimes kill the game.

The Pacers are a team with both offense and defense. After finding that there is no way to beat the Bucks with offense, it is not surprising that they want to win the game with defense.

Now that there are such successful examples as the Pistons, the Pacers can also follow suit, focusing on starting defense and trying not to lose points, and then let Reggie Miller lead the bench to lead the team to victory in this way.

Faced with this situation, Ray Allen is very responsible: "Put me in the second team, I will definitely limit Reggie Miller."

Ray Allen himself knows that he is not yet Reggie Miller's opponent, so what Ray Allen is talking about is restriction, not defeat.

Now Reggie Miller's ability off the ball is still above Ray Allen.

In addition, the Pacers are completely based on Reggie Miller as the core. Reggie Miller enjoys the support of the whole team. It is normal that Ray Allen cannot completely defend Reggie Miller.

In other words, the current Ray Allen is not yet qualified to touch Reggie Miller, but the latter is the former's goal of catching up.

Ray Allen was happy to take on the opponent he had to beat.

But in George Karl's view: "There is no need to be emotional!"

"Our priority is still to score and keep the attacking rhythm as smooth as possible.

Now that the Pacers put Reggie Miller on the second team, and since the Pacers want to limit us defensively,

Then let them do this, I want to see, what can they do to me? "

"So today, our task in the first quarter is to strive for an advantage of more than 15 points.

They want to rely on the second team to chase points?

Then let them follow behind us, waiting to see through it! "

George Karl said that the strategy of adopting a constant response to all changes does not need to cause the Bucks to change too much because the Pacers have made adjustments.

The players also know that the Bucks are very strong. They are No. [-] in the East, and the Pacers are only No. [-] in the East, so there is nothing to worry about, just play normally.

However, when the game officially started, it didn't take long before the trend of the game was abnormal.

He Li was almost injured... Fortunately, he was not injured in the end.

Before the start of the game, He Li could have predicted that someone would give him strength in today's game.

So before the start of the game, He Li put on the protective gear early, and was careful when playing the game.

However, He Li didn't encounter the blood-level defense that He Li expected, and nothing happened after the jump.

But during a breakthrough dunk, he was suddenly pushed by the Pacers power forward Jonathan Bender with brute force, and flew several meters away.

Because of this criminal, He Li was almost injured, and the situation on the court instantly became very delicate.

Fortunately, after He Li got up from the ground, he took the initiative to prevent the further intensification of the conflict.

However, the impulsive Battelle was sent out of the Bradley Center for running from the bench.

The other substitutes obeyed the rules, knowing that He Li usually would not suffer in this regard, so they just stood up from the bench instead of directly rushing forward.

"It seems that there should be no big problem with He Li."

"Having said that, He Li was still put down to do a simple inspection, so as to avoid the situation where the injury is unknown, which will eventually lead to the deterioration of the injury."

"Yes. I hope that He Li is really okay, and I also hope that He Li can return to the match scene soon."

"The game won't resume in a while, and now we can talk about it, Jonathan Bender."

"He, I heard that he is also a talented power forward who can change hands and dunk from the free throw line. It's a pity that he just entered the league and had a big problem with his knee. In the end, his talent still couldn't be fulfilled. It's a pity."

"That's the way it is, so it's not surprising.

It is understandable to see a player of his own type playing so well, but he is plagued by injuries, unsatisfactory, mentally unbalanced, and fights a lot.

However, it is unforgivable to commit crimes for one's own selfishness on the field of competition. "
