I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 22 Mutual achievements, gains and losses, wins and losses (for collection)
"Can I join you in your pick-and-roll practice?"

"The most welcome!"

After losing the game against the Bulls, the players in the Bucks have more or less changed.

Especially seeing that after the game, He Li took Joel and some undrafted picks to practice pick-and-roll tactics and other basketball training in the training hall. Other players couldn't help but follow, hoping to train with He Li.

Among these players, there is Reed.

As a second-round pick, especially the second-round pick who was injured in the regular season last year and missed most of the games, Reid still has a sense of crisis.

If you don't work hard, if you don't play statistics, the contract for next season will end, and you may have to bid farewell to the NBA!
Reid knew very well that if he didn't seize the opportunity now, he might not have a bright future!

He Li is a first-round pick after all, and the Bucks spent a lot of money in exchange for the team's sixth man, Lindsay Hunter. Reid took the initiative to bow to He Li and proposed the idea of ​​reporting to the team for warmth, which is nothing to be ashamed of!
Before Reed came, he actually planned to be rejected by He Li.

He is not fast enough, not tall enough, and not strong enough to assist He Li.And he is an ordinary, not so important second-round pick, He Li has every reason to reject him.

However, upon hearing He Li's "Welcome to you" with a smile on his lips, Reed felt that he was in Orlando under the scorching sun, drinking a bottle of ice-cold Miller beer, and his whole body, from the inside to the outside, felt a sense of comfort that could not be described by words.

What surprised Reid even more was that when Reed participated in the pick-and-roll training between He Li and other teammates, He Li actually took the initiative to cooperate with him, help him cover, and give him more and more comfortable scoring opportunities.

"This is simply unbelievable! He Li is a good man, no, he is my good boss!"

In just ten minutes, Reed wanted to kneel down to He Li, kowtow in thanks, and recognize the thief as his father.

But the relationship between people comes and goes quickly.

When He Li pointed out that Reid was not active enough in training, that he did not move in place, and kept pointing and pointing at Reed in front of everyone, Reed felt very aggrieved, and almost felt uncomfortable and wanted to hit someone.

At this time, Reed felt that the image of He Lihao's boss had become blurred again.

After that, He Li also asked Reid to find an opportunity to pass the ball to him who was disassembled.

Pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, it is impossible for He Li to just block for Reid, but not get any effect after dismantling.

Only when He Li disassembled it, Reed used his shooting deterrence to lure other defensive players away, and then quickly passed the ball to He Li to help him get more open shots, or opportunities for layups and dunks. This pick-and-roll tactic is complete.

Reed had to follow suit, and it wasn't that there were no guards in the undrafted draft.

In pick-and-roll tactics, an offensive point guard works best with the inside line, so that both inside and outside players are lethal and dangerous, making it harder for opponents to guard against.

Reid's scoring ability is fine, but his passing ability is a little bit worse.In other words, Reed and He Li's pick-and-roll, He Li's tactics did not get as many benefits as Reed.

The best pick-and-roll tactic is for inside and outside players to achieve each other, just like Karl Malone became John Stockton's historical assist leader, and John Stockton helped Karl Malone become the second scoring player in history.

If Reid can accept He Li's plan, then Reid's scoring data and assist data will not be too bad. Of course, He Li's scoring data and shooting percentage will become better.

However, Reed obviously has a lot of obsession with shooting rights.

He Li understands that Reed won't be able to change it for a while, so that's okay. He Li still has a high tolerance for Reed, a little brother.

As for how to train Reed, there is no rush, anyway, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, and we have a long way to go.

As long as you slowly exert influence on Reed, you can always moisten things quietly and train Reed into a qualified shooting and pick-and-roll tool.

The time came to July 7, and today the Bucks' opponent is the Magic Blue Team.

In this game, He Li and Reid's pick-and-roll was used on the field for the first time.

But because the cooperation time was too short, it seemed a bit hasty. Although the strength of the Magic Blue team was not good, the pick-and-roll effect of He Li and Reid was not as good as expected.

In addition, Alston continued to take unscrupulous shots and took up a lot of the team's ball rights. This made He Li and Reid's data still not change much.

The Bucks won this game, but it didn't have a good effect of training and testing tactics.

Coach Stotts' heart is obviously towards He Li, and coach Stotts also came with a political mission to lead the summer league this time.

George Karl needs to see the full ability and potential of He Li, so Stotts can't continue to let Alston do whatever he wants.

On July 7, when the Bucks played against the Eagles, Alstom was put on the bench by Coach Stotts.

It seems that the troubles in the team have been resolved. He Li and Reed are both in a good mood, and the corresponding feeling is also good.

In this game, He Li, relying on the pick-and-roll cooperation with Reed and Joel, made 18 of 13 shots, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points efficiently. He also had 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. He performed very well.

里德同样表现出彩，16投10中，三分5投2中，罚球3投3中，砍下25分3篮板7助攻1抢断的华丽数据。

As for Alstom, who led the bench lineup, he also scored 21 points by scoring points in the second and fourth quarters, but his shooting percentage was still not high, only 19 of 8 shots.

Overall, the three musketeers in the Bucks Summer League have a lot of output firepower. They can score 78 points in one game, accounting for more than [-]% of the team's points.

After putting Alston on the bench, the problem of ball possession between the Bucks' main players has also been solved. This is indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds.

Coach Stotts saw He Li's running and jumping ability, scoring ability, tactical quality, team leading ability and leadership.

I also saw that Reid, who didn't perform very well last year, also performed very well in terms of shooting, but there is still a lot of room for improvement from the real three musketeers.

Of course, Alstom is not useless, at least Alstom's superstar style of play is not something that everyone knows, anyone can play.

If Alston's physical fitness can be better and his shooting skills can be improved, Alstom also has the opportunity to play the sixth man in the NBA regular season.

In the endless training and improvement of He Li and others, the penultimate day before the end of this year's Orlando Summer League.

On this day, the Bucks played a game against the Wizards. After the game, the Bucks finished playing with all the NBA teams participating in the Orlando Summer League.

In this game, He Li's hand feeling was average, but Reid's hand feeling was very good, so He Li didn't ask for too many shots, but instead deliberately strived for other game data.

全场比赛，何力11投5中，罚球3中2，只拿了12分，但另外有12篮板7助攻2抢断3盖帽进账。

After the game, He Li felt that it was a pity that he didn't get a triple-double, but these days players generally like to dribble a few times after catching the ball, and the assist data is really hard to get.

In addition, the Wizards have the new No. [-] pick Kwame Brown sitting in the penalty area, making great contributions on both offensive and defensive ends.

There is one thing to say, in an amateur game like the Summer League, Kwame Brown really showed the demeanor of a general with his exaggerated physical talent, making people feel that the future is promising.

Although in the game between the Bucks and the Wizards, the Wizards eventually lost the game, but the Wizards are very satisfied with Kwame Brown's performance.

Other teams have to use their strengths to play the Bulls, and the Wizards only need Kwame Brown to take the lead in the charge.

But two punches are hard to beat four hands, the Bulls have too many insiders, and the Wizards only have Kwame Brown. After Kwame Brown ran out of energy, the Wizards quickly lost the score and eventually lost the game.

With 5 games in 30 days, the Orlando Summer League NBA teams and college teams have a clear ranking with each other.

On the last day of the Orlando Summer League, there will be a friendly match against each other according to the ranking of the teams.

Also by coincidence, the Bucks and the University of Florida Gators both finished second in their respective games.

On the last day, He Li couldn't wait to dunk a few on James White's head, but he didn't have many chances at all, because James White was unable to play for the Gators.

Here I have to mention the head coach of the Gators, Billy Donovan, who will lead the Gators to two consecutive NCAA championships in the future.

Donovan's coaching style is to like to reuse point guards and insiders. He has cultivated "white chocolate" Jason Williams, Mike Miller, Matt Bonner, David Lee, and then Al Horford, Joakim Noah...

Basically every NCAA team he coaches is equipped with one inside and one outside star player.

Donovan can use the inside and outside, but he can't use the striker.

Therefore, Donovan coached the Thunder at the level of being unfamiliar with Durant, but he got along very happily with Westbrook.

Now James White is also "unfamiliar" with the coach. Right now, this alligator team has Udonis Haslem, Matt Bonner, David Lee, and Anthony Robertson.

These players are unremarkable in the NBA draft, but they are star players in the NCAA.

James White's physical fitness is indeed excellent, but when he arrived in college, he was not reused by the coach, so he didn't have much chance to play.

The Bucks were already somewhat invincible against the alligators. With He Li, Reid, and Alstom all firing up the data, Donovan could only play the main force.

As a result, He Li tried for the first time the feeling of clocking out of get off work in three quarters.

It was garbage time in the fourth quarter. James White played for more than ten minutes, but he only bumped and dunked two balls, which is nothing unusual.

After the game between the Bucks and the Alligators, He Li's trip to the Orlando Summer League is completely over. At the same time, he is one step closer to the NBA regular season.

However, James White's tragic situation also reminded He Li that before he is unable to challenge the coach, the most important thing is to please the coach and get playing time!
The key to getting playing time in the regular season lies in the next stop—the Boston Summer League.

He Like is not satisfied with the Orlando Summer League average of 21.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.8 blocks per game!
