I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 211 A battle of spirits, Kobe's revenge!
After defeating the Celtics, He Li and his teammates defeated the Clippers who came to challenge in Milwaukee.

The Clippers are a bad ship these days. They have been bad for several seasons, and there is no hope of returning to the playoffs.

The Bucks were not surprised at all. It took just over one quarter for the main players to finish the regular-season game. The remaining two and a half quarters were all garbage time for training.

After the Bucks repelled the Clippers, the first half of the preseason home game has ended.

Next, the Bucks will be a guest in the West, starting a round of three consecutive guest trips.

Time soon came to the 19th, and the Bucks arrived in Dallas to fight the Mavericks again.

As before, the Mavericks are trying to build a team with Nowitzki as the core of the team, gradually delegating Finley, and reducing the number of Finley shots.

However, this kind of change cannot be completed in a short time. There are some problems within the Mavericks, and the preseason games are naturally more used to solve the problems.

Although the Bucks themselves have to find and solve problems, but because the championship lineup is guaranteed, the preseason record is as stable as ever, and this time they still double-killed the Mavericks.

After the trip to Dallas, the Bucks moved to Los Angeles.

Next, the Bucks will be a guest at the Staples Center to fight against the Los Angeles duo.

On the 22nd, the Bucks first easily defeated the Clippers who were like chickens and dogs.

Immediately after the 24th, the Bucks pointed at the Lakers and entered the Staples Center as early as the afternoon, and began to prepare for what everyone said was the most critical and eye-catching game in the preseason.

During the previous offseason, the hotly discussed deal was the swap between O'Neal and Garnett.

Many sports commentators talked about this and said that the Lakers suffered a loss!

The Lakers guarantee the Western Conference Finals with the OK combination!This point is beyond dispute!
Using O'Neal for a round trip in the West, and Garnett, whose contract is bigger than O'Neal's, the Lakers will suffer no matter how you look at this deal.

However, many sports commentators have to admit it.

If the Lakers want to continue to hit the championship, want to wash their shame, and beat the Bucks, trading Garnett with O'Neal is probably the best choice for the Lakers, at least at this stage.

After all, O'Neal can't limit He Li's outstanding performance in the finals, but Garnett has this possibility.

He Li's performance in the finals last season was historic, and he was able to resist the extraordinary performance of the two super giants of the OK combination with his own strength.

Only relying on offense, the OK combination can't perform better than He Li, so if they want to beat the Bucks with He Li, someone must really limit He Li and reduce He Li's score.

Only in this way can the Lakers hope to defeat the Bucks in the finals and avenge their shame.

Last season, the Lakers have proved that Kobe alone cannot prevent He Li, and the Lakers need a player who can limit He Li.

All the league's striker stars have been carefully selected and searched for. It seems that only Garnett is expected to do this.

And after using O'Neal to trade for Garnett, Garnett can also help the Lakers take on part of the offensive and scoring responsibilities, instead of blindly being the core of the team's defense and taking on heavy responsibilities on the defensive end.

Therefore, Garnett is the optimal solution for the Lakers to defeat the Bucks, not the optimal solution.

But then again, if the Lakers want to avenge the Bucks in the Finals, they must first win the Western Conference championship.

This season, the Western Conference teams are basically recruiting. The Lakers expanded their salary space after Garnett's arrival, but the lineup has actually become worse compared to last season.

Veteran Robert Horry's contract expires.

And because the Lakers signed Garnett, Horry overlapped with Garnett, and the Lakers had no money to use an expensive mid-level contract to sign Horry as the Lakers' backup power forward.

So the Lakers' final choice is to let Horry go.

Of course, it's not that the Lakers haven't talked to Horry, but the Lakers are only willing to sign Horry with a veteran's basic salary of 120 million a year.

Horry's response was naturally to find another job.

Without Horry, the key player, the Lakers' role players seem to be even more unreliable.

At this time, the Lakers boss is not unwilling to spend money to recruit troops and prepare for war, but the problem is that even if the luxury tax is paid, it is difficult to recruit suitable personnel.

On the one hand, veterans who want to hold their legs to win the championship prefer the Bucks to the Lakers.

On the other hand, young people who want exposure and big contracts like Los Angeles but don't like Kobe.

High school drafts are easy to be rejected by other college drafts. Corbett's maverick, competitive and paranoid character is not likable.

In addition, driving away O'Neill and becoming the boss himself will make people feel difficult to get along with.

Only players like Garnett, who is also a high school draft pick and desperately eager to win a championship, are willing to get along with Kobe and tide over difficulties together.

Having said that, the Lakers' signings in the offseason were not very successful. The Lakers can only try to pick free agents that other teams don't want under the current team.

However, it takes time to run the lineup and sacrifice some games.

This time the Bucks played against the Lakers, the outside world thought it was a battle where sparks hit the earth, but in fact the real fight was not as intense as outsiders imagined.

At the beginning of the game, Kobe ran to the middle circle to jump the ball with He Li.

"No other meaning, I just want to beat you, in every field you are good at."

Kobe and He Li had such meaningless emotional disputes, and He Li naturally accepted it with a smile.

The preseason games are not counted as results or statistics, but He Li doesn't want to lose!
"Kobe, you have to be self-aware, you've gained weight, and you still want to beat me in the jump ball? It's not dark yet, and you start dreaming?"

He Li won the jump ball from Kobe and responded with trash talk.

"He Li, haven't you gained weight too? You can still jump, why can't I jump the ball? My bounce is not inferior to yours!"

Kobe, who is already "He Dou Dagger" now, refuses to admit defeat!
Kobe used to be Peter Pan, but in recent years, he has become less and less able to fly.

At the same time, breakthroughs have also become slow, and the explosive breakthroughs that have just entered the league have long since disappeared.

The key reason is that Kobe has gradually gained weight since he entered the league to strengthen his defense. He has gained weight every year in the past few years and has never stopped.

In He Li's memory, Kobe was seriously injured for the first time in his career in 03 because of excessive weight gain. In the next few seasons, he had to lose weight to return to his peak.

This situation occurred in the middle and late stages of Kobe's career. In the three-year yellow-green battle from 08 to 10, Kobe failed to achieve three consecutive championships, and it also had the impact of weight gain and potential injuries.

Although Kobe adjusted his skills and used more shooting skills such as backwards to handle the game, after a game, he basically did not see dunks like he did in the early days of his career.

However, Kobe gained too much weight, his speed and jumping ability decreased, and his body was more likely to be injured, which is still unavoidable.

Having said that, Kobe chose to gain weight to enhance confrontation ability, enhance defensive ability and enhance singles ability, which is understandable.

It's just that, as the head of the team for the first time, Kobe stubbornly put all the responsibility for the team's victory on his shoulders, and gained too much weight in the offseason. Even if there is no problem now, there are still some hidden dangers.

He Li could clearly see that Kobe in his eyes had gained a lot of weight compared to last season.

He Li heard that someone called Kobe Bryant "Little Malone", and now He Li felt that it was true!

Except that Kobe's body size is one size smaller than Malone's, the rest is really not much different.

As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

However, He Li feels that from now on, Kobe's nickname of Malone can be changed, and Xiao He Li is also quite suitable.

After all, He Li's weight gain during the offseason was not too much.

He Li's current body shape has also become a lot thicker. He Li's body shape was originally one size larger than Kobe's.

Now both of them have gained weight obviously. During the offensive and defensive confrontation, many people think that the two look similar.

It was as if a brown bear and a black bear collided together, colliding again and again.

But sometimes, it is not completely a rival, but will choose to outsmart.

Not long after the beginning of the first quarter, Kobe singled He Li from outside the three-point line, and He Li defended Kobe a little uncomfortable for a few rounds.

After Kobe gained weight, he didn't adjust his hand feeling well, and hit several irons one after another.

Ever since, in this attack, Kobe made a false shot, and after shaking He Li for a while, he pushed He Li away with the help of the ball protector.

Originally, Coby relied on the current slowed down speed, so naturally he couldn't get past it.

But after all, after a push, He Li was accidentally pushed away, so he couldn't keep up.

In the regular season, He Li would try to make a foul, and maybe he would be like Jordan, who would be punched in the chest by Kobe.

But today's game is just a preseason game, so there's no need for He Li to foul Kobe.

In fact, He Li also wants to see more about how Kobe Bryant breaks through at this stage, and how he combines sudden shots.

It's a pity that Kobe made a breakthrough, but didn't make a shot. Kobe's final choice was the dunk that No. 8 Peter Pan is best at!
"You say I can't jump? I'm also the slam dunk king!"

Kobe used a powerful tomahawk-style dunk, not only targeting He Li, but announcing to the world that he was once the youngest slam dunk king in the NBA!
Although Kobe has never taken the dunk king seriously!
But He Li is the slam dunk king, He Li is the championship, and He Li is the FMVP, then Kobe will beat He Li in all fields that He Li is good at!
And this is what Kobe chose, the way of revenge!

"You said you gave me an MVP trophy, I said you never thought about it!

Don't you want to continue talking nonsense like this!

I'll let you admit it until you admit it!

All the honors I have won are all earned by me! "

Kobe used this dunk to prove that he is still the Peter Pan who can run and jump, and even used this to demonstrate to He Li.

However, He Li didn't care about it, and said indifferently: "Look at your fat appearance, why are you still putting on that dunk?
Seriously, Kobe, think about your own knees!

I don't want to find out in the next season's finals that we were challenged by a player from another team! "

Kobe was a little angry, but he didn't answer directly with trash talk, but responded to He Li with a shot in the next offensive round with the ball.

"brush--"

Kobe, who had hit the iron again and again and scored sports games by breaking through dunks, unexpectedly made a difficult three-pointer by leaning back in front of He Li.

He Li thinks that this wave of defense has been done to the extreme, and the advantage of height and wingspan has also been brought into full play, but it is a pity that sometimes Kobe's shooting is unreasonable.

And Kobe after shooting the goal is also unreasonable.

"Is it hard to shoot the ball in the basket? Boy, I look forward to seeing you at the three-point shooting conference!"

Kobe can't wait to start challenging He Li from other areas where He Li is good at.

But soon, He Li made Kobe realize that your uncle is your uncle after all.

The previous World Championships made He Li more aware of the power of his long-range skyhook.

And He Li also understands that in the case of relying too much on three-point scoring last season, if he does not change his style of play slightly and master more offensive methods this season, he may also be restricted by certain teams and players.

Fortunately, He Li's offensive methods are quite rich. Like today's game, the Lakers first let Kobe, who gained weight during the offseason, defend him alone in the first quarter.

In this way, He Li's offensive space and offensive shot selection are more comfortable.

After all, He Li, who has also gained weight, is not unable to impress Kobe, but it takes a lot of effort.

If it is the regular season or playoffs, He Li will not use brute force to play like this, but will choose to pass the ball out, or use "Xu Huang" to pass Kobe.

But in the preseason, He Li had to do this.

As long as He Li is the simplest, hit Kobe with his back from outside the three-point line, enter the long two-point return, and shoot at places that are most suitable for long-range shots and sky hooks, and have shooting hotspots or shooting hot spots.

"Facing Kobe's defense, He Li scored with a sky hook, and he was relaxed and freehand. He really deserves to be the FMVP!"

"There is no doubt that He Li's offensive ability has been further enhanced after gaining weight."

"If no one can limit He Li next season, then maybe only injuries can limit He Li."

"He Li told us with practical actions that shooting is actually not difficult, as long as you throw the ball, it can go in!"

According to the on-site commentary and the audience, after gaining weight, He Li's shooting is more stable and more accurate.

Only He Li himself knows that this is the benefit brought by the shooting hot spot.

Just to mention a little bit, after winning the championship and FMVP last season, He Li has completed all the main tasks.

He Li obtained the function of exchanging honor points for shooting hotspots, and also has the function of synthesizing shooting hotspots.

After the shooting hotspot synthesis function is enabled, every 3 shooting hotspots can be combined into a 3*3 square meter shooting hotspot.

The shooting hotspot only has a shooting area of ​​1*1 square meters, and the area of ​​the shooting hotspot is 9 times that of the shooting hotspot.

The shooting hotspots exchanged for the price of 3 shooting hotspots is a full three times the income.

To a certain extent, He Li has gained a lot of enhancements in the new season just by exchanging shooting hotspots for the benefits of shooting hotspots.

In actual combat, He Li back hits the range of the shooting hotspot, because the hotspot is large enough, He Li can shoot with ease, instead of rushing to shoot in the narrow area of ​​the shooting hotspot.

In fact, the benefits brought by exchanging honor points for shooting hotspots and shooting hotspots for shooting hotspots are not limited to this.

If He Li really can't stand being double-teamed, He Li can even play off the ball, run in a full range, and shoot without a fixed point.

The shooting stability and shooting percentage bonus brought by shooting hotspots and shooting hotspots can keep He Li's shooting percentage at a fairly good level.

Of course, unless it is a last resort, He Li must continue to play with the ball.

The Bucks themselves also have the conditions for He Li to continue to play with the ball when he is double-teamed. Ray Allen's off-ball ability itself is top-notch.

The shooting ability of Big Dog, Cassell, and Reed is also top-notch.

They can not only help He Li open up the space, but also digest the ball passed by He Li, and efficiently convert it into the scores needed by the team and the assist data that He Li needs.

However, then again, shooting hotspots have high returns, but shooting hotspots are more flexible.

He Li currently doesn't have enough honor points, and the hotspots for shooting honor points are limited.

In order for He Li to be less likely to be studied by opponents and to master the shooting hotspots on big data, He Li will make him more "all-round" by constantly moving the shooting hotspots.

If He Li converts the small and scattered shooting hotspots in his hands into shooting hotspots, He Li's strength will be easily studied and lacks flexibility.

Therefore, He Li currently shares the shooting hot spot and the shooting hot spot.

If on a certain day, He Li's shooting hotspots have covered the entire half court, then He Li may increase the number of half-court three-pointers and backcourt three-pointers.

At that time, Midorima's full-court shooting may not only exist in the Two-dimensional world.

Closer to home, the Bucks basically won the Lakers at halftime as usual.

However, after this game, the Lakers may gain more than the Bucks.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers adjusted their defense and chose to let Garnett defend He Li alone.

At the beginning, Garnett's single defense against He Li was mediocre, but then, Kobe defended He Li alone, but Garnett assisted in the defense behind Kobe.

He Li's skyhook can bully Kobe, but Garnett, with his height and wingspan advantage, has a high chance of defending and blocking shots.

And if He Li hits the mid-range and casts a big mid-range shot, Garnett may be a little slower and the defense will not be timely.

However, Kobe may rely on physical confrontation, aggressive defense, and no strength in defense alone.

To put it bluntly, He Li's offensive skills have not been mastered, and he has not mastered various techniques.

He Li can only do the same thing, just like practicing martial arts can only do rigid routines.

He Li in this state is not really unstoppable, it's just that because the moves are more advanced and powerful, people usually can't guard against them.

Once He Li reaches the state of proficiency and mastery, then there is no need to use every move, but a simple move, such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and the Six Meridians Excalibur.

But then again, for He Li, who lacks experience and time, with He Li's own efforts and the help of other Bucks teammates, it is not difficult to win the Lakers in this preseason and the following regular season.

As long as the Lakers fail to introduce superstars to fundamentally enhance the strength of the Lakers, the Bucks will not let the Lakers down.

The Bucks this season are still the only team in the league in overall strength.

Even if the Lakers find a way to limit He Li, it will have to pay the price of Kobe and Garnett.

Kobe and Garnett exchanged their son Heli, but the Bucks still have three musketeers and a golden left handed.

Not to mention Boozer, who will soon form an immediate combat force, as well as veterans Barkley and Ewing.

Closer to home, after the Bucks defeated the Lakers, the three-game road trip to the West in the preseason was completely over.

Not long after, the Bucks returned to Milwaukee to meet the Cavaliers' challenge at home.

The goal of the Cavaliers this season is very simple, to try to bring the son of Cleveland home.

Even if it doesn't affect the poor preseason, the Cavaliers have made this attitude very clear.

Because of this, the Bucks did not suffer much resistance and ended the preseason this season with an 8-game winning streak.

And next, the long-awaited regular season is finally about to start.

"We will receive the championship ring soon!"

"Haha, the boss said that there are many precious stones inlaid on the ring, and the ring itself is very valuable!"

"This is the first championship ring for most of us, but I believe it won't be the last!"

"I believe too!"

"Me too!"
