I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 231

The Bucks suddenly suffered a three-game losing streak. They were originally as stable as Mount Tai, No. [-] in the league and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, but now they have become precarious.

Encountering this kind of thing suddenly, He Li was not in the mood to think about the All-Star game. Instead, he sat down with his teammates and discussed quietly what kind of problems existed in the team.

Through video analysis, the general conclusion is that the two consecutive losses to the Nets have an element of luck in it, but it also exposed the problems existing in the Bucks.

Recently, the Bucks have played too smoothly, causing the role players to subconsciously have the idea of ​​fishing in troubled waters. They feel that they don't need to train too hard at ordinary times, and they are not focused enough and too slack during the game.

Once there is a headwind and a critical moment, role players become useless at all.

As for the stars, their minds are not on the game, but they are more focused on collecting personal data, which leads to a lack of unity and integrity in the game.

Although George Karl has allocated the ball rights among the stars, the contradictions still exist, but they just don't come out.

Moreover, some people performed well during the competition and some performed poorly.

As the days passed and the date of the All-Star Game approached, stars with poor statistics naturally wanted to get more opportunities to improve their statistics and achieve themselves.

People are selfish, and there is nothing wrong with having their own little thoughts when playing.

In the past, the Bucks were not focused and united enough to play a strong team, and there is no problem.

But bad luck, happened to meet the Nets who were united and in a state of explosive form.

But it's okay, I met the Nets.

The Nets at this stage are not the top team in the Eastern Conference, and the Nets belong to the upper middle level.

If the Bucks lose to a strong team because of bad luck, they may not care too much, they just think it's bad luck.

But losing to a non-top team like the Nets, and it happened twice in a row, would make the Bucks feel inappropriate.

Facing a team at the level of the Nets, even if they are unlucky, the Bucks should still win.

The facts are contrary to what the Bucks expected, so the emergence of this unexpected situation has instead attracted the attention of the Bucks, and then found their own problems.

In fact, the Bucks have made some internal adjustments before playing against the Mavericks in the Western Conference.

In this case, the Bucks lost to the Mavericks again unexpectedly, which reminded the Bucks again.

The heart that the Bucks could be proud of at first became calm in an instant.

Two teams that also use run-and-gun tactics, the Bucks are more experienced and equipped with more luxury, but the Bucks lost to the Mavericks, what is the reason?
That's right, the old Nelson has experimented with running and bombing tactics in the NBA long ago, and has certain coaching experience.

But if an NBA team wants to achieve a better record, more depends on the quality of the stars and the configuration of the team lineup.

The configuration of the Mavericks is indeed luxurious in the West, but it is still a bit worse than the Bucks.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Bucks felt they could beat the Mavericks before the game started.

However, after losing the game in the end, the Bucks came to their senses.

What kind of problems will the Bucks expose when facing a team with the same running and bombing tactics!
The problem exposed by the Bucks is that they are too obsessed with shooting three-pointers and want to open the score all at once. Compared with the Mavericks, they lack the necessary scoring at the basket, especially the mid-range.

In addition, the Bucks themselves are a little weaker in the interior. There is no advantage in height and frame protection in the interior.

The fact that the Bucks are relatively poor inside is a problem left over from history, and it will only take a few years to solve this problem.

The Bucks have no salary space to sign All-Star inside players, and it is impossible for He Li to do the dirty work inside.

Then we can only wait patiently for Kwame Brown and Boozer to grow up. At that time, the Bucks will also have inside twin towers, and the inside line will no longer be a problem.

As for the unreasonable projection structure, it goes back to personal data.

A three-pointer is always one more point than a two-pointer.

Because of the strength of the Bucks, Ray Allen relied on three-pointers and scored high-scoring data many times to help the team win, tempting other players to follow suit and want to rely on three-pointers to score and score high.

At this time, the other stars of the Bucks are all outside shooters. Through hard training, they can achieve a considerable shooting percentage and a fairly stable three-pointer in a short period of time.

As for the Bucks, because the shooters have a good range and can space each other, they can get a lot of open three-pointers.

After the stars limit the number of shots, except for the big dog who is still a classical small forward, the others are more and more fond of using three-pointers to complete their shots.

After all, it is easier to get high scores this way, and the average data per game will be better.

Only when the three-pointer feels cold, and when it is a last resort, will he hit the basket or shoot the most cost-effective mid-range shot.

It's actually a bit funny to say that, when the Bucks were in charge of the three musketeers in the past few seasons, the Bucks were one of the best mid-range shooting teams in the league.

Now, as He Li, who is known for his toughness in the league, is in charge of the Bucks, the overall atmosphere of the Bucks has become more and more flexible and elegant.

Of course, this is in line with the temperament and spirit of the Bucks.

However, since these problems have been exposed, it is also to avoid going all the way to the dark.

He Li is willing to take the initiative to take responsibility to make the Bucks more perfect and stronger.

Mid-distance is also an area where He Li is good at. Since the Bucks lack mid-distance endpoints, He Li will complete this task.

Therefore, in the following schedule, He Li re-practiced mid-range shots, straight-arm hooks, long-range sky hooks, and by the way, revisited his back-and-half-half shooting skills.

Of course, He Li has regained these skills, which does not mean that he will no longer shoot three-pointers.

In fact, in the next game, He Li will continue to insist on 3-5 three-point shots to ensure the three-point threat and help his teammates open up space.

Sometimes, as a corner killer, He Li still shoots very sharp three-pointers from the corner.

Closer to home, on December 12, the Bucks have not yet completely shaken off the haze of the three-game losing streak, and continue to rush to Houston to participate in the next back-to-back game.

This season's Mosaic is not bad. Even with the champion Yao Ming who needs to level up, Mosaic is still in the Western Conference playoff sequence.

Although last season's Mosaic was not at the bottom of the West, but in comparison, this season has improved a lot.

It is worth mentioning that Rudy Tomjanovich, the head coach of Mosaic, treated Yao Ming really well. It can be said that a father treats his son with the same care.

Tang Shuai asked Yao Ming to play as a substitute. Even though Yao Ming was not used to playing in the NBA at first and made jokes, Tang Shuai patiently stayed by Yao Ming's side and kept cheering Yao Ming up.

Tang Shuai taught Yao Ming how to integrate into the team and the NBA, how to train Yao Ming, how to learn English, and how to adapt to NBA games.

In fact, Yao Ming's character is quite introverted and shy, far less humorous and gregarious than later.

But one thing is that Yao Ming is very responsible and doesn't want to hurt others. Yao Ming is also trying to adapt to the environment and looks more gregarious in the team.

Therefore, Tang Shuai specially set up a rule in Mosaic according to individual conditions.

Tang Shuai asked Yao Ming to finish the game with a dunk as much as possible after receiving the ball. If Yao Ming can dunk in the game but chooses to use other methods to complete the offense, then the entire Mosaic team will be punished for running after the game.

Because of Yao Ming's "humility", the players of the Mosaic team were punished to run several times.

The players in the Mosaic team were not friendly to this big man who "caused trouble" at first, but they became emotional when they disliked it.

The first is that Yao Ming can run quite well. In the post-match training, his attitude was very correct, and he was gradually recognized by his teammates.

Second, Yao Ming started off the bench. After adapting to the intensity of the NBA, he gradually showed good finishing ability and frame protection ability, which gave Mosaic a reliable center player.

After O'Neal traveled east, Yao Ming benefited even more. After only one month as a rookie, he was able to steadily demonstrate his ability to score in double figures with an average of less than 10 shots per game.

When Yao Ming completely established himself in the mosaic, Tang Shuai affirmed Yao Ming's efforts while continuing to encourage Yao Ming, hoping that Yao Ming could play more aggressively.

Yao Ming has many ways to score under the basket. Small hooks, small rebounds, and small throws are all fine, but there is no doubt that only dunks are the most powerful and can boost morale.

Under the pressure of Tang Shuai, Yao Ming dunked on his opponent time and time again in order not to implicate his teammates after the game, and even took the initiative to find a confrontation, violently dunking the opponent, and asking the opponent to eat "tomatoes".

This is how Yao Ming's ability was revealed, along with his confidence and aggression.

Now that the regular season has been going on for two months, the Yao Ming that He Li saw already has the standard of a normal NBA starter.

If Yao Ming can play more actively and better, maybe he will be the best rookie of the season.

He Li knew that Yao Ming could play better. In fact, Stoudemire was able to steal Yao Ming's Rookie of the Year only because Stoudemire was an American.

And this season, if Yao Ming wants to snatch the best rookie from Stoudemire, he needs Yao Ming to show stronger strength.

"I did it last season, and I hope you can do it this season."

After the match between the Bucks and Mosaic, He Li chatted with Yao Ming.

He Li gave Yao Ming some pointers: "Actually, you can talk to Tomjanovich, the old man is a good man, different from most white people.

It can be seen that he treats you very well, but you don't have to be so honest just because he is very good.

I've seen film of your game, you have the ability to absorb more possessions in the first quarter.

As the No. [-] pick, the No. [-] pick inside, isn't that made by accumulating a lot of ball possessions?

What's more, you are the CBA champion, you are not an ordinary rookie, you need to use a shorter time to prove yourself.

And the most effective proof method, proof prop, is your personal data.

Go talk to Tomjanovich, as I say!Just say I said it.

Just let him give you more possessions in the first quarter, and your performance on the court will definitely be better than it is now! "

He Li feels that there are only two areas where Yao Ming has not used the NBA, one is physical fitness and the other is defensive strength.

To put it bluntly, the intensity of the CBA game is still low, and Yao Ming has physical problems when he comes to the NBA.

For Yao Ming, it must be difficult to adapt to the intensity of the game in a short period of time.

Yao Ming can face the high-intensity interior hand-to-hand defense in the NBA at this stage, which is really amazing.

In short, it is not possible for Yao Ming to acquire such an ability all at once.

As a result, Yao Ming was able to score very efficiently in the first quarter when he had plenty of energy and his touch was not affected.

Sometimes it takes five or six shots in the first quarter to achieve the goal of scoring in double figures.

But in the next three quarters, Yao Ming's shooting rate dropped greatly due to poor physical fitness and physical confrontation affecting his touch.

And this problem cannot be solved by Yao Ming at this stage.

But in this case, if Yao Ming wants to improve his personal data to prove his own strength, he can only stack the number of shots when he is in his best state in the first quarter.

If Yao Ming has the ability to show the ability to score more than 20 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, there is no doubt that the game after Mosaic will be played more easily.

Even if Yao Ming only needs to score about 15 points in a single energy, other teams dare not underestimate Yao Ming, and Yao Ming can also use offensive threats to attract hostile inside defenses and have a positive impact on the team.

As for Yao Ming exhausted his energy in the first quarter and couldn't play the remaining three quarters, so what?
Yao Ming is not the boss of the team yet, so why care about such things?

Yao Ming is just a rookie, a rookie who needs time to grow.

Yao Ming in his rookie period should learn how to play more comfortably and how to fully display his personal strength.

When Mosaic completely becomes Yao Ming's team, Yao Ming should figure out how to extend his superstar strength to the second, third, and even fourth quarters, and win the game on his own at critical moments.

But now, Mosaic is Francis' team. At the critical moment of Mosaic's fourth quarter victory, it is impossible for Yao Ming to stand up and turn the tide, right?
It is neither appropriate nor necessary nor possible.

Therefore, Yao Ming can play more selfishly and more comfortably.

He Li knew that Tang Shuai was very kind to Yao Ming, so he would spoil and pamper Yao Ming!As long as Yao Ming is willing to talk to Tang Shuai about this, the best rookie of the season, Yao Ming can basically get it.

However, whether Yao Ming will talk to Tang Shuai or not is none of He Li's business.

When Yao Ming entered the NBA, he made his own way. As a "senior" and a friend, He Li was just offering an opinion.

The Bucks returned to Milwaukee soon after defeating Mosaic, until January 1, the regular season restarted in the new week.

The Bucks played against the Jazz at home, and were almost taught a lesson by coach Sloan and the Jazz.

Facing the running and bombing of the Bucks, Sloan only used one move to defend from the outside and block from the inside, defending with iron blood.

It's not that the Bucks have never encountered a strong defensive team before, but other teams have not prescribe the right medicine like the Jazz.

The Jazz are determined not to allow the Bucks' outside players to shoot three-pointers. The Bucks' outside players can pass the ball, but when they take off and shoot three-pointers, they resolutely use small moves and tough defense to limit the Bucks' outside shooters.

Sometimes tricks have a big effect, and it is a foul. Fortunately, this is the Bucks' home court, otherwise they would have suffered a lot.

However, the Jazz's defensive strategy still worked.

After the head-to-head defense of real men in the first half, the overall feel of the Bucks' outside shooters suffered a certain degree of decline in the second half.

At this time, the Bucks wanted to score from the basket again, and the Jazz blocked the space under the basket.

Under the Jazz's defense and switching defenses, the Bucks players can only be forced to shoot some difficult mid-range shots.

Fortunately, what power does the Bucks have to fix the sea god needle.

Coupled with the experience and lessons learned from the Mavericks before, Cassell and the Big Dog have also recovered their ability to shoot in the middle.

In the end, the two teams were 97 to 104. The Bucks killed the game with a mid-range shot and successfully repelled the Jazz.
