I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 179 Trash Talk, Eastern Champions (big chapter)
"Many people are saying that He Li is very tough, and He Li's playing style is very tough.

I really don't know who this rumor came from?

How hard is it?Yes, he is hunting us with three-pointers and mid-range shots.

Don't forget, he is a forward player and an inside player.

What is he doing now?Score with the means of guards, only with shots in front of us.

Isn't he the dunk king?Isn't his breakthrough very strong?
Why not?Why avoid us, avoid us?Only dare to shoot from the outside?

Is he really hard?I'm already disgusted by this kind of sound, He Li is a complete softie.

I don't deny that his shooting ability is indeed very strong.

But no matter when, I still have to say that he is a soft guy who is tall, vain, and dare not confront the tough. "

The Bucks are in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Nets play at the Continental Airlines Center.

The third game of the Eastern Conference Finals is about to start, Kenyon Martin said in an interview before the game.

It's not that He Li has never made a breakthrough in front of the Nets, scoring through layups and dunks, so Kenyon Martin's claim that He Li is a softie is untenable.

It's just that in the previous two games, He Li's main source of scoring was indeed obtained by shooting.

He Li redefines the three-pointer, redefines the forward, and turns the power forward into a power forward, which will indeed change and deviate people's perception of He Li.

The tough guys who could be Karl Malone and Kevin Garnett have suddenly become soft guys who can shoot outside.

If you were someone else, you might be very concerned about this kind of public opinion, but He Li doesn't care.

And He Li is also very clear that the Nets have nothing to do, they can only use some off-the-board tricks in an attempt to influence him.

He Li had already said that he wanted to play health-preserving basketball, but why should he care if he was called a softie?

After winning the championship, the soft will become hard. Look at Nuo Tianwang, who has been known as a soft guy for more than ten years.

When the championship is won, all the black will become white. Look at the little emperor who is jumping around repeatedly with talent.

Therefore, the key to fame and reputation still depends on whether you can help you set up a stage to sing.

He Li has a championship in hand, there must be a lot of people who support He Li.

He Li doesn't have a championship, and no matter how tough his style of play is, he will be used as a stepping stone.

Of course, the Bucks did a good job in pre-match player management.

Even though He Li was interviewed before the game, the interviews were carried out almost at the same time. The reporter who interviewed He Li was not the same group of reporters who interviewed Kenyon Martin.

After He Li entered the arena, what Kenyon Martin said before the game was difficult to fall into He Li's ears under the Bucks' closed news.

However, the Nets did not give up, but tried to influence He Li, so that He Li's mentality had problems, which in turn affected the result of the game.

Now that it has reached the third game, the Nets are tired from fighting all the way.

If today's game is lost to the Bucks again, then the remaining game will probably be more or less bad.

Therefore, in today's game, the Nets must win no matter what, and no matter what, they must fight and give it a go.

"Ruandan, I heard that you are the boss of the Bucks?

Then why are you so soft? Is this how the Bucks play?
Come on, beat me down in a tough way! "

Seeing that He Li was still a small forward, Keith Van Horn spat trash talk at He Li as soon as he came up, laughing and calling He Li a softie.

He Li didn't take it seriously, when will the team's No. [-] man be able to touch the enemy team's leader?
Rodman engages in the Malone mentality, which is also the third master versus the first master!
In addition, it was Malone himself who was tricked!He Li will not be fooled.

After the two games, the players of the two teams are well aware of the strength of the two teams.

The Bucks played relatively easily in the first quarter. Maybe they won the first two games too easily. The Bucks players would relax a little, and they made a lot of turnovers as a result.

Coupled with the issue of penalties, at the end of the first quarter, the score was 21 to 26, and the Bucks were still 5 points behind the Nets.

But the Bucks are not in a hurry here, and He Li will continue to play in the second quarter.

The Nets were prepared today. With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Keith Van Horn left the court early. This was specially prepared for the second quarter by He Li who played.

At the start of the second quarter, Keith Van Horn alone couldn't prevent He Li.

At this time, Kenyon Martin was still off the court, and He Li continued to make three-pointers from the outside, and added two points from the long-range skyhook to chase points. In less than 4 minutes, the two teams tied 32-32.

"Why are you so soft, do you look down on people? Soft man, can you be tougher?"

Although He Li kept scoring, and although He Li had helped the Bucks tie the score, Keith Van Horn was still carrying out the tasks he had accepted before the game, using trash talk to influence He Li's game state.

Indeed, being constantly harassed by trash talking, He Li's mood will change, and he will feel very irritable.

Fortunately, long before he met Keith Van Horn, He Li met Garnett, who is the best trash talker in the league.

Hard specials have three good things, defense, mid-range shooting, and trash talk.

He Li didn't have many matches with Garnett, and he didn't have extra time to watch the video and study, so He Li didn't learn Garnett's defense.

As for the CIC, that is to say, the comprehension is high, all supported by talent.

Of course, Garnett's trash talk He Li didn't learn much.

It's just that, after being spammed too much, I gradually developed resistance.

Keith Van Horn's trash talk is nothing compared to Garnett.

The score was tied, the Nets took the initiative to call a timeout, and sent Kenyon Martin again.

The Bucks are very simple. They see the trick and send the big dog on the field.

After playing for 2 minutes, the Nets called a timeout again.

This time Byron Scott was also quite bold, removing center Jason Collins and replacing him with small forward Richard Jefferson.

Richard Jefferson has been coming off the bench for Keith Van Horn.

In the last three games, because the Nets had to rely on the defense of Keith Van Horn and Kenyon Martin to limit He Li's offensive ability, they shortened Richard Jefferson's playing time a lot.

After all, Richard Jefferson is still in the first grade, so it's hard to say whether he can be entrusted with important tasks.

But now, the Nets have been cornered by the Bucks.

Obviously, the center of the Nets can't prevent the breakthrough of the big dog, so they can only change to a forward with footwork and physical fitness to stand under the basket.

The Nets are a relatively balanced team in all positions, unlike the Bucks hoarding so many forward players.

Now it is also a dead horse that is used as a living horse doctor, and Richard Jefferson is in danger.

It just so happened that Richard Jefferson came on to great effect.

Whether it's defending the big dog's mid-range shot with one step inside the three-point line, or defending the big dog's layup in the penalty area, Richard Jefferson has done everything he should do on the defensive end.

As for being scored a lot of goals by the big dog, that is also normal.

Anyway, the big dog is also an amazing generation who won the No. [-] pick by relying on offensive skills. He has played in the league for so many years and is at his peak in recent years.

And Richard Jefferson's stronger point is offense, not defense.

Besides, even if he formed a troika with Kidd and Carter in his peak period, Richard Jefferson has never been in the All-Star, no matter how bad the big dog is, he is still an All-Star player.

But to a certain extent, Richard Jefferson also restrained the big dog.

In this way, the Bucks have to face a problem-He Li is about to play the first half, and He Li will inevitably rest a lot of time in the third quarter.

Today, He Li's condition is mediocre, and he doesn't feel particularly good. Of course, the ultra-long three-point offensive method has been exposed.

The Bucks didn't gain much advantage in the second quarter, so they must find a way, how to stay behind in the third quarter, or even win.

Of course, the second quarter should still be fought for.

Ever since, George Karl called a timeout with 2 minutes left in the second quarter and removed He Li and Dagou early.

Then came a three-back lineup of Cassell, Ray Allen and Redd, plus two forwards in Tim Thomas and Mark Pope.

George Karl took out his best game and wanted to play the ultimate fast break.

The offense of this lineup is absolutely fine, and the defensive end can also make up for it through pressing, steals, switching defenses, and zone defense.

The only problem is protecting the rebound.

But there is no need to worry too much. The forwards of the Nets also have a lot of playing time.

Besides, there are only 2 minutes left in the second quarter. No matter how many random shots and rebounds are lost, the Bucks cannot fall behind by too many points.

If this lineup can produce good results, then you can try more in the third quarter.

In short, if you lose, you don't lose money, if you win, you earn blood, and He Li ends up, so the Bucks will take a gamble. Anyway, there is nothing to lose in the fourth quarter.

He Li also had the awareness of the bottom line, so before going to bed, the alarm clock was specially set, and it sounded when there were 4 minutes left in the third quarter.

Because there will inevitably be several timeouts in the third quarter, He Li thinks the alarm clock should ring before halfway through the third quarter.

In order to prevent the Bucks employees from tampering, He Li also specially carried the alarm clock in his arms.

Unexpectedly, when He Li returned to the game, the score was already 78 to 61. During the absence of He Li, the Bucks gained a huge advantage.

It's not terrible to win, but it's embarrassing to miss someone.

Seeing this situation, He Li didn't think anyone in the team would play him.

I can only feel that the world is fickle. There will always be someone in a downturn in a game, and there will always be someone who will stand up after the leading player "falls".

He Li returned to the bench and learned from other teammates that the score was quickly opened in the third quarter.

It turned out that Ray Allen suddenly made a three-pointer and scored three three-pointers at the beginning of the third quarter, which directly caused the Nets to bleed and panic.

When the Nets strictly defended Ray Allen's off-ball, Reed, with the help of Cassell, kept hitting the basket.

The Bucks' scoring seems to be star singles. Give the ball to one person to swing. The tactics are very simple, so it is not difficult to defend.

But the problem is that neither side called a timeout, and the Bucks have been playing fast breaks.

The Bucks players can make such adjustments so tacitly on the court, and the Nets can't keep up with the Bucks' game rhythm.

It's fast to score on the fast break. Before Byron Scott came back to his senses, the score was directly extended to 10 points.

After returning from the timeout, the Bucks could still score, but the Nets were led by the nose by the Bucks, falling into the abyss step by step.

"This is the characteristic of the Bucks team. After the head player is off the court, someone will definitely come forward."

"Yes, George Karl's style of coaching is like that.

Under the fast break system, any player has the opportunity and the ability to score.

The existence of He Li and the three musketeers only guaranteed the lower limit of this team. "

"Fight offensively, there should be no other team in the league that will be the opponent of the Bucks, and there should be no other team that can win the Bucks by relying on offense alone!"

"Yes, it's not even in doubt now!
I know that the Bucks are the strongest offensive team in the league, and that's the truth!

But the problem is, defense wins championships, and that's something worth noting. "

"That's right, there is a 90% chance that the Bucks will be the first to enter the Finals.

The situation in the Western Conference Finals is even more anxious. Whether it is the Kings or the Lakers, these two teams are still fighting fiercely.

But the problem is that the Bucks' offense is too strong, and they often use offense to solve everything, while ignoring defense.

On the other hand, the Kings and the Lakers happen to be teams with strong defenses.

The Nets' defense is of course good, but the offense is still a little bit worse, not as good as the Kings and Lakers' offensive and defensive balance.

What we can see now is that although He Li is very strong, he is still a rookie and a young man after all.

He Li's physical fitness restricts his control over the game.

So here comes the question, can He Li really play the full 48 minutes in the high-intensity finals?
No, maybe He Li can't even play 38 minutes, this is my answer. "

Since He Li returned to the field in the third quarter, the game has completely lost its suspense.

He Li played the game with the attitude of clocking in three quarters. Naturally, he wanted to increase the score to more than 30 points before the end of the third quarter.

The main force of the Nets followed the Bucks to run a fast break, and their legs were almost weak when they ran.

At this time, He Li, who was waiting for work, came up and made a direct attack. The whole Nets team could only scold He Li for his lack of morality.

"Isn't it my fault that I don't protrude, don't buckle, and aren't tough enough? Are you satisfied now?" He Li responded to Keith Van Horn.

Keith Van Horn was stubborn: "If you have the ability, why don't you take a look?"

"Suddenly!" Soon, He Litu shot a cold arrow and caught Keith Van Horn by surprise.

"Fxxx, you idiot actually lied to me?"

Faced with Keith Van Horn's questioning, He Li smiled and said: "You're trash, you need to be smart when you play, and you'll believe what I say?

Would you believe me when I said your wife tasted like a donut?

Well, this time I'm sure, I didn't lie to you!Ha ha! "

After hearing He Li's ridicule, Keith Van Horn ran away instantly, waving his fists to greet He Li's face.

Seeing this, He Li calmly walked over to the referee not far away.

Playing a game really requires brains. At this time, no matter how tough a guy is, there is no civilized way to win without fighting.

Seeing Keith Van Horn's irregular movements, the referee immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Then He Li waved King Qin around the pillar, easily avoiding any risk of injury.

On the contrary, Keith Van Horn was called two technical offenders in succession and was sent off.

Then He Li used two free throws from technical offenders to increase his personal score and team score by two points.

After the commotion on the field ended, the difference between the two teams instantly widened to 24 points.

In order to protect He Li, George Karl called a timeout immediately after He Li's technical free throw and removed He Li.

Because the game basically loses suspense, it is also because the players of the two teams are young and energetic, and the guns will go off, and the on-site referees are more fair in their punishment.

As long as there is an action, it is a whistle.

Without the protection of the whistle, the Nets couldn't catch up with the Bucks in scoring.

With 1 minute left in the third quarter, Kidd hit two consecutive three-pointers, the Nets had no hope of chasing points, and their morale fell.

In order to avoid being slaughtered too ugly at home, Byron Scott withdrew his troops and called a timeout to remove all starters ahead of schedule.

The Bucks and the Nets did not have a deep hatred, and everyone was living in the same league. George Karl did not make it difficult for Byron Scott, and also chose to withdraw all the starters.

In the fourth quarter, there was even a situation where whoever had a good touch and scored a high score was immediately replaced.

The Bucks gave the Nets enough face, and the Nets players were not too angry after discovering this.

If you really want to blame anyone, you can only blame them for their own lack of strength.

In fact, as a team that has just arrived as a head player, it is not easy to reach the Eastern Conference Finals in the first season.

After recognizing the reality, the Nets have no intention of fighting.

In the fourth game two days later, the Bucks were ready for a big battle.

But he didn't want the Nets to surrender voluntarily. Basically, after the first half, they didn't win with blood.

The Eastern Conference finals were completely over, and the Bucks won the Eastern Conference championship, taking the lead in approaching the finals.

But at this time, some people were not convinced.

Keith Van Horn is usually very low-key, but he is not a big belly.

After the game, Keith Van Horn was still unforgettable and slandered He Li: "Even though we were swept away, I still have to say that I think He Li is a downright softie."

When He Li learned about this while on vacation, of course he would be a little concerned, but he didn't take it too seriously.

He Li told Keith Van Horn through the media: "This is a game for adults!"

After Keith Van Horn heard about it, he didn't know whether he was speechless or let go of his naive thoughts. In short, he didn't respond through the media.

He Li, on the other hand, celebrated the hard-won Eastern Conference championship with his teammates and enjoyed the joy of the Eastern Conference championship before the finals started.

It is true that the overall runner-up is the biggest loser!The finals haven't started yet, the Bucks can't take it lightly, and He Li can't relax his vigilance in advance.

However, the days are passed day by day, and the happiness or sadness in the future will not affect the current mood.

Besides, doesn't the NBA work for the rich and rely on physical strength to make money?

Now that I have just moved the bricks and made money, is it possible that I can't enjoy it?Why bother to be bitter and bitter all the time?
Well, on to the music, on to the dance!
