I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 214 Contradictions in the new season, start running and bombing!
The Bucks beat the 75ers in the opening game, and even sacrificed the happiness of a referee to celebrate the victory of the game.

Although not many people discussed the fact that the Bucks won the 75ers by a big score after the game, they turned to discuss Boozer, a rookie who exploded overnight, and the referee who was carried down by the unlucky encounter.

But in fact, Boozer did not suffer much punishment apart from gaining the notoriety of "villain", "boxer" and "egg breaker".

Boozer was only fined a first-degree malicious foul on the spot, and after the Bucks helped teach the fine afterwards, nothing happened.

Of course, behind this incident, Octagon Basketball also paid the referee a settlement fee.

It was Jeff Austin who came forward and made a big deal a small thing.

Having said that, when Jeff Austin took Boozer to the hospital to condolences to the unfortunate referee, the referee's attitude was quite good.

If Jeff Austin hadn't offered to pay compensation and increased the price again and again, the referee would even say no money.

As for the fact that Boozer has given too much, it doesn't matter at all.

Even if someone provided video analysis afterwards, Boozer played 14 minutes in the first three quarters and received 4 fouls, 2 of which were due to the injured referee's penalty.

Boozer had a relationship with the referee, and the resentment in his heart was hard to dissipate, so he deliberately waited for an opportunity to retaliate against the referee, celebrated with a goal, and pretended to lose his mind to attack the referee.

But the next day after the incident, the referee was discharged from the hospital and publicly stated in front of the media that the injury was not serious.

Afterwards, the referee also believed that Boozer's behavior on the field was just normal, and he did not act excessively, and he had already forgiven Boozer.

The parties have already said so, and outsiders naturally have nothing to say.After two days, such a lively scene of discussions gradually subsided.

It's just that whenever the Bucks play, they don't run very actively after seeing Boozer play, and the penalty for Boozer is also handled rationally.

All of a sudden, Boozer was treated like a superstar, some of which could be boasted or not, and some of the penalties that were obviously defensive fouls were not blown.

Boozer didn't know what he meant, and thought it was because of He Li's care and influence that he had such a comfortable playing opportunity.

The Bucks are now the hottest team in the league, and every game is basically won with a big score.

Even if the referee is not strict with the Bucks on the field, most fans will not have much criticism.

After all, several penalties cannot affect the trend of the game and the final result.

I have to say that the Bucks are too strong!

After the opening game, the Bucks played against strong playoff teams like the Magic and the Nets, and easily solved weak teams like the Knicks and Timberwolves.

直至11月9日，雄鹿做客费城，再次在75人主场瓦科维亚中心双杀75人，并且再一次以117比94的大比分取得胜利。

By double-killing 75 players, the Bucks proved that the Bucks have opened up a level with most of the playoff teams.

In the face of the powerful Bucks, even the 75 players with the background of the finals team can no longer form a strong competitiveness.

The current Bucks are obviously the last three consecutive Bulls, or the Lakers who had the OK combination and won two consecutive championships in the past two years, this kind of dominant dynasty team.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Bucks are extremely powerful and unrivaled.

However, after a two-week running-in period, some contradictions and differences have arisen within the Bucks.

Similar things will always happen to a group. Once they can't feel the pressure from the outside, then they will start internal strife.

The Bucks are already a mature team and a mature group, but it is also because they have won the championship and have team honors that the main players have turned to personal honors.

After all, it is difficult for a team to have two All-Star players at the same time these years, and the All-Star selection depends not only on popularity, but also on personal data.

The Bucks have too many players. They obviously have five or six players who can play All-Star data, but because of the problem of ball possession, it is already very remarkable to have three stars with All-Star data this season.

The main problem lies here.

Before the start of the playoffs, before facing the severe test of the defending champion, who is willing to sacrifice their own data to help other teammates?
Among them, Ray Allen is the starting point of a contradiction.

Ray Allen can be very team, but also very selfish.

Ray Allen thinks that he is at his peak and has the ability to become an All-Star, but now that he has further reduced possession of the ball in the Bucks, he naturally faces the problem of lack of data to support him to become an All-Star.

Seeing that all the players in the class of 96 have become regulars in the All-Star Game, and he is faintly about to fall behind, Ray Allen is naturally not reconciled.

Therefore, in the previous games, Ray Allen received the ball based on his ability to shoot, grabbed rebounds, played fast breaks, and when it was time for him to score, he did his part.

Ray Allen's scoring is very efficient. It stands to reason that he can score an average of 20 points per game, and even give some ball rights to the Big Dog, Cassel, and Reid.

However, Ray Allen didn't do this. Sometimes when he saw He Li, he wouldn't even pass the ball.

Ray Allen is becoming more and more his own way, more and more like Kobe outside the three-point line.

But one thing to say, Ray Allen did play well.

Especially when playing with He Li, Ray Allen's scoring efficiency and true shooting percentage even surpassed that of He Li.

However, during this period of time, not only Ray Allen played well for the Bucks, but the Big Dog, Cassell, and Reed were also in pretty good condition.

Everyone has worked hard during the offseason, and the state of training is quite good.

At the beginning of the season, especially in the next two months after being selected as an All-Star, as long as they have enough possession of the ball, they will definitely have enough ability to produce the statistics that an All-Star player should have.

No one is willing to lag behind others, and no one is willing to fall behind.

So even if the team controls Kassel, it becomes less fond of passing the ball to other players.

After all, Kassel has won three championships, but he has not entered the All-Star Game so far, not even a substitute.

Cassell's better offensive method is the mid-range shot, not the three-pointer and the basket.

Although Kassel's shooting rate is not bad, his scoring efficiency is not high, which is considered a relatively ordinary level among stars.

In other words, even if the three musketeers get the same ball rights, Cassel is the one with the lowest average score per game.

Ray Allen's three-pointer is not weaker than He Li. The big dog can hit the basket to cause damage, and Cassel can only score two points and two points most of the time.

At this time, Cassel can only try more shots to ensure that his data does not fall behind.

On the Bucks' bench, Michael Reid, who has the potential to be the league's best sixth man, also started his sprint to become an All-Star.

However, because the substitute lineup still has Boozer, Alston and others occupying part of the ball, Reid's ball possession this season is even less than last season.

Although the scoring efficiency has become higher, Reed's average data has become tepid, only 12.6 points.

Such scoring data, let alone an All-Star substitute, even an All-Star rookie game substitute is not qualified.

Reed, who has just signed a maximum salary, is naturally qualified to express his honesty. If the Bucks management doesn't care about his emotions, he can even put pressure on the Bucks management and apply for a deal.

Although the Bucks this season do not lack scoring points, they can ignore Reed's temper, but what about the next few seasons?
The Bucks were already paying the luxury tax. In order to keep Reid in the offseason, they gave Reed a big contract with a maximum salary.

If Reed gives up on himself and doesn't want to play, then the Bucks management will have to worry about dealing with a garbage contract like Reed.

Therefore, the management can only come forward to coordinate the contradictions of Reed and meet Reed's requirements as much as possible.

However, at this time, one of the problems that the Bucks management must face and solve is that Anthony Mason has taken the initiative to apply for a trade.

Regarding this problem, the Bucks management said that it still needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

The original contract of Anthony Mason is what the Bucks management needs to deal with this season.

It's not that Anthony Mason's contract is a premium contract, on the contrary, trading this contract can bring a lot of benefits to the Bucks.

The problem is that the Bucks management needs to first observe how the Bucks performed in the early stages of the new season.

Will reducing Anthony Mason's playing time have a lot of adverse effects on the Bucks' offense, defense, and lineup stability.

After two weeks, the Bucks started with a six-game winning streak. During this period, Anthony Mason averaged 21.8 minutes per game, scoring 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.4 blocks.

Judging from this basic data, Anthony Mason does not have much impact on the Bucks' victory in the regular season.

After careful study of various high-level data, it is not a big problem whether Anthony Mason plays in the Bucks or not.

So at this time, Anthony Mason wants to change teams to play and get back his statistics and worth.

The Bucks also want to trade Anthony Mason as soon as possible. On the one hand, it is to make room, and on the other hand, it is to reinforce in time, so that they can have more time to run the lineup and make sufficient preparations for the defending championship.

And after the Bucks management made such a decision, before Anthony Mason leaves the team, it is also necessary to help Anthony Mason to collect good data and inspect the goods for the boss.

In other words, in the next period of time, certain Bucks players, especially the core players and starters, will give up part of the ball.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the Bucks have a stable record. This basically needs to be guaranteed.

It has to be said that this is a difficult and risky arrangement.

In the next period of time, it will be easier to detonate the already emerging contradictions within the Bucks.

The management is not blind. George Karl, the head coach, is already a veteran. Naturally, he can't fail to see that there are some problems within the Bucks.

Coincidentally, the Bucks will not play for the next three days, it is a break time, and the next game will be at home.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, George Karl called all the players of the team.

Whether it is a core player or a little transparent who can't make the list.

Everyone gathered in the video room and held a solemn meeting to discuss the future of the Bucks.

"We've come into the new season with a lot to show for it.

I have been looking for an opportunity to praise everyone, and today I finally found it.

However, before the praise, I still have some things to tell you. "

After the meeting started, George Karl took control of the field.

"Anthony is an outstanding player! He helped our Milwaukee Bucks win the second championship in team history!"

Usually NBA stars can be described as excellent, and only superstars and super giants can be worthy of the word excellence.

Now George Karl has a very high evaluation of Anthony Mason, which even surprised many players present.

"We all know Anthony was an All-Star.

It happened just a few years ago, in fact, not too long ago.

But last season, Anthony made a lot of sacrifices in order to integrate into us and help us!

This is something that many good players cannot do, Anthony deserves the respect of all of us!
Now I want to tell you a piece of news, Anthony is about to leave us, so please cherish it. "

George Karl said eloquently.

There are two types of players being traded. One is that the player is sold without knowing it at the beginning, and he finally knows it when news comes out in the market.

The other is the one who knew it from the beginning and was sent out by a gift, so he is basically the first one to know.

The members of the team will also know it very early.

Although Anthony Mason took the initiative to apply for a deal, he was considered the second type.

Whenever this happens, there is nothing to hide within the team about the players leaving.

So, at this meeting, George Karl spoke very frankly.

Anthony Mason is leaving. Anthony Mason has worked hard for the Bucks and made sacrifices. Now before he leaves, let me tell you.

I hope everyone can cherish the last happy time of being teammates together.

With such a layer of "human touch", it is difficult for the Bucks not to play happy basketball next.

Joy is Anthony Mason, of course, and The Three Musketeers is nothing.

The Bucks are mainly concentrated in the hands of them and He Li.

He Li is the guarantee of the record. The team is the head of the team, even if the Bucks carry the box office. Whoever the Bucks cut the ball, it is impossible to completely lose the ball in He Li's hands.

At the same time, the Bucks are still training rookie Boozer. Speaking of which, Boozer is not bad. He averaged 24 points per game and scored less than 8 shots, but he scored an average of nearly 12 points per game.

Such a rookie must be worthy of the team's training, not to mention that Boozer is still an increasingly valuable striker.

It is also because Boozer is competitive enough, the Bucks will inevitably guarantee Boozer's possession of the ball before hitting the rookie wall, so that Boozer can be trained more comprehensively.

Strive to allow Boozer to enter the All-Star rookie game starting lineup.

So, when He Li and Boozer's possession of the ball needs to be guaranteed to remain unchanged, where will the Bucks squeeze Anthony Mason's possession of the ball to collect data?

After thinking about it, there are only three musketeers.

The three musketeers are the old man of the stag, and the old man is more humane, who can play the emotional card and threaten them with loyalty.

To be honest, if He Li and Anthony Mason hadn't joined, the Bucks would not have won the championship.

Although the big head is the credit of He Li, but Anthony Mason still has hard work without credit!
Now that Anthony Mason is leaving, the three musketeers can only happily send him away.

Let's talk about Reed, Reed has no fear of signing a big contract like the next maximum salary, let alone a championship, and the team's honor is also guaranteed.

If it wasn't for playing brother basketball with He Li, Reed would definitely leave the Bucks and venture outside at such an ambitious and daring age.

You must know that Reid actually only played for the Bucks for one full season. As a player selected by the Bucks in the middle of the second round, he actually doesn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Bucks.

The Bucks management knows not to bully the young and poor, so they won't think of a way with Reid's existing possession of the ball.

Originally, Reed had complained about this. Through this meeting, the Bucks management even wanted to slightly improve Reed's treatment, enhance some ball possession and tactics, and meet Reed's requirements.

Therefore, in the next part of the schedule, the Bucks' happy basketball has only three musketeers, so they can't be happy, and everyone else is basically happy.

Of course, the problem of the three musketeers' possession of the ball is also temporary.

After sending away Anthony Mason and Boozer hitting the rookie wall, their possession of the ball will increase a lot, and the scoring data will be even better at that time, which is inevitable.

Therefore, after George Karl learned that Anthony Mason was about to be traded, the three musketeers had no complaints, and instead warmed up to Anthony Mason.

However, the meeting did not end so quickly.

The Bucks management and coaching staff came up with a solution to the problem, not to suppress a group of people and let a group of people suffer to satisfy the appetite of another group of people.

The real way to solve the problem is to make a big cake, so that the rain and dew will spread evenly.

"Our preliminary idea is this. Next, in the case of ensuring the record in the first half, we will relax our defensive attitude a little bit, increase the number of fast breaks, reduce the time of passing the ball and the number of mistakes, so as to increase the number of rounds. Everything depends on offense to determine the outcome of the game!"

Players take a fancy to the data and fight for the ball, mainly because the ball is not enough.

What if the ball is not enough?Then let the opponent score a few more, and we will play more fast breaks and shoot earlier, so as not to waste time, to strengthen the possession of the ball.

If you can only get 80 points for 100 shots, then it shouldn't be difficult to get 100 points for 120 shots, right?

If the extra 20 points are divided equally between several main players who need data, that will increase the average scoring by four or five points per game.

There is no doubt that this way of making the cake bigger is the right medicine to solve the team's ball possession and data contradictions.

But it is true that the defense wins the game, and the team's record must be ensured by the management and coaching staff.

In other words, in the next period of time, the Bucks need to test out new ways to win.

The fast-break Bucks were also playing before, but the next game is running and bombing, which reduces defensive running and bombing.

Although the Bucks won by offense before, even if the defense is not too strong, it is not bad.

Next, the defense was reduced, and the Bucks had to ensure the record. This is naturally a difficult thing worth overcoming.

"Has a new challenge started?"

"Then let's work together!"

At the end of the meeting, He Li, the head of the Bucks, finally stood up and spoke out.

Running and bombing can increase the overall number of shots taken by the Bucks and scoring data, and the data for him, the master, will definitely increase.

He Li had imagined before that he would strive for personal honors such as scoring champion in the next few seasons, but he thought that it was okay to make some sacrifices for the championship, so he gave up such an idea.

However, if it is by running and bombing to win, it is not impossible for He Li to strive for his own personal honor while ensuring the Bucks' record and teammate data.
