I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 232 Integrate offense and defense, smash Huashan!

Running and gunning is not a complicated tactic, it mainly relies on a large number of transitions to create easy ball opportunities, score high points, and win the game.

If you have a correct understanding of the running and bombing tactics, and know what the Bucks players are good at in the running and bombing tactics and system, then you can prescribe the right medicine to limit the smoothness of the Bucks' running and bombing.

To be honest, Sloan's research on the Bucks has been thorough enough.

It's just that in recent years, as Utah Shuangsha's personal strength is no longer at its peak, the overall strength of the team has declined, and its configuration is not as good as the Bucks, and it is even a bit far away.

So in the end, it still failed to restrain the Bucks, allowing the Bucks to win this regular season.

However, for the Bucks, with a targeted defensive strategy and a greatly increased defensive intensity, they can still defeat a playoff team like the Jazz that is good at defense.

After defeating the Jazz at home, the Bucks rushed to Cleveland to send another wave of warmth to the Cavaliers who are aiming for the No. [-] pick.

After another wave of three consecutive victories, the Bucks returned to Milwaukee and once again met the challenge of the Kings in back-to-back situations.

The Kings this season are similar to last season. Even though there is no change in the lineup, they still become the strongest team in the Western Conference under the blessing of the Princeton system.

Compared with the Bucks, the No. 6 in the Eastern Conference, the Kings lost 4 games in the regular season, while the Bucks only lost [-] games, so the Bucks are still the number one team in the league.

But recently, the Kings have won six consecutive victories, and their overall state is much better than the Bucks, which suffered a three-game losing streak not long ago.

Not to mention, the Bucks are still back-to-back in today's game.

This may become an important factor affecting the outcome of the Bucks' game against the Kings.

The game between the Bucks and the Kings is also a game worthy of attention before the All-Star Game. When these two strong teams meet, the No. [-] in the East and the No. [-] in the West, who is better?
This is also something that other teams in the league, and still the vast majority of fans, pay attention to.

"Kwame Brown and Verati Divac miss jump ball, Mike Bibby pushes the ball.

The ball was passed to Doug Christie, Ray Allen defended well, Doug Christie was forced out and was almost intercepted by He Li.

Pejastojakovic barely catches the ball, and after taking a dribble, he quickly kills inside.

But faced with He Li and Kwame Brown, they almost lost the ball and survived.

Pejastojakovic made an emergency stop and forced a shot, but because of the interference of He Li and Kwame Brown, he finally failed to hit the iron.

Joel Pulzbila grabs the rebound, and then the Bucks have a chance to counterattack! "

The king's first offensive rhythm is quite good. The Bucks' defense is already in place, but Peja still makes a strong shot.

In the end, he didn't have a chance to hit it, but it was because he was flanked by two people and made a hasty shot.

If there are better shooting opportunities and shooting space, maybe this goal is still hopeful.

Of course, even if the King's first attack looked very organized, but in the end he missed and the rebound was grabbed by the Bucks, then the problem came.

The Bucks are proficient in the use of running and bombing tactics. They rank first in the league in conversion points, averaging 54.8 points per game, which is almost two-fifths of the Bucks' average points per game.

From this, we can also guess how high the success rate of the Bucks' conversion is.

This ball is no exception, even if the king was prepared, he returned to defense immediately.

But the Bucks outside players are too accurate and stable in chasing three-pointers.

Ray Allen stood half a step away from the three-point line after receiving the pass. He was defiant, shot quickly, scored a three-pointer, and scored the Bucks' first sports game of the game.

But in the next round, the king did not show weakness.

The Kings first pretended to hang the ball inside and pass it to Weber to deal with. He Ligang did not want to help defend and double-team the ball, but Weber passed the ball accurately to Bibby on the outside without looking.

Cassell had not had time to defend, Bibby suddenly cast cold arrows, three-point shot.

"It looks like Mike Bibby feels good today!

Mike Bibby made a three-pointer this time and successfully responded to Ray Allen's three-pointer!
Hey, I said Bucks players, you have to be more serious, you must know that your opponent is the No. [-] king in the Western Conference!

And only one king is allowed in the entire alliance! "

The commentary made fun of the status quo of the two teams competing for the first place in the league at the right time.

Whether the King wants to catch up with the Bucks, or the Bucks want to secure the number one throne, they need to win this game.

But there is only one winner in this game.

Although today is the home game of the Bucks, the Bucks are playing back-to-back, and the state is not very good.

There have been Liezi before, and the Nets defeated the Bucks who played back-to-back home games.

Once the Kings today have the feel and state of the Nets before, it is not surprising that the Bucks lost the game.

Therefore, if you want to grasp the home court advantage, then the Bucks players must be more focused, not so sloppy, so careless.

And this is what the on-site commentary wants to emphasize to the Bucks.

The Bucks can no longer fail, at least they cannot lose games that should not have been lost because of arrogance and slack.

Fortunately, the Bucks have corrected these bad habits before.

Playing at home today, the Bucks players also want to prove this to the fans and let them relax.

In the next round, Cassel wanted to play Bibby, so he stretched out his hand and gestured for a tactic, signaling He Li to step forward to pick and roll, and play a pick and roll under the triangle tactic.

Usually the Bucks do not need to use pick-and-rolls to increase their offensive efficiency. This time He Li cooperated with Cassel to play pick-and-rolls, which also made the Kings unable to adapt for a while.

Sometimes tactics are effective by relying on suddenness, and whether the defensive players can adapt to the offensive tactics is also critical.

This time Bibby didn't have time to react and adapt. Under the cover of He Li, Cassel easily got rid of Bibby's defense and threw the ball at the free throw line, which is his best area.

"Jump shot from Alien Kassel! This is a wonderful CIC performance!"

After Cassell hit the half-stop, the entire audience of Milwaukee fans immediately chanted "All-Star", hoping that Cassell could get what he wanted this season.

Cassell hit the ball, and heard the support of the fans at the scene, he immediately danced excitedly, showing his Cassell dance steps.

Fortunately, this time, Cassel did not have a groin rupture, and the joy gave birth to sorrow.

There is one thing to say, the run-and-bomb tactics reduce the intensity of confrontation, and the near-end time strengthens the rationality of playing time and rotation, which will relatively make it easier for the Bucks stars to stay healthy.

But having said that, Cassell got carried away with complacency, and instead let the king take the opportunity to sneak attack and play a fast break.

It's not that the Princeton system can't break fast, but it pays more attention to support, coordination, and the effectiveness of the three armed forces.

Now that the Bucks have someone pretending to be aggressive and not returning to defense, it is naturally better. They don't need to pass the ball to play positional battles.

Fortunately, most of the Bucks have returned to defense, and the Bucks have more people inside. It is not easy for the Kings to get to the basket.

Therefore, the King still took advantage of the fact that the Bucks had few people on the outside, and gave the ball to Peja, and asked him to try to shoot a three-pointer to see how lucky he was.

Peja's three-point shooting ability will not be repeated for the time being. As a former three-pointer, Peja's outside shooting ability has always been very stable.

However, He Li's second defense was not blown out!
It makes sense that NBA commentators and reporters are willing to vote for He Li.

"He Li assisted in the defense, and He Li jumped to interfere.

He Li's projectile speed is terrifying!
Can He Li successfully interfere with Peja Stojakovic's shot? "

Peja, as a white foreign player, has a different shooting style from North American players. Compared with NBA players from the United States, Peja's shooting speed is relatively slow.

This is why He Li came out of the defense and tried to block Peja after taking off.

He Li made sure he didn't touch the ball when he took off to block the shot just now, but that doesn't mean that the ball wasn't defended well.

Because Peja's shooting speed is slow, when he sees He Li's defense, he will subconsciously try to shoot the ball earlier, so He Li's defense interferes with his shooting.

To put it bluntly, if Peja made a hasty shot and failed to make a good shot, or if he didn't score the ball with a bad touch, it was considered a successful defense by Heli.

"Can this goal be scored?" The on-site commentary emphasized again.

"Sure enough, I just knew that He Li interfered, and the goal was missed!

Kwame Brown grabbed the defensive rebound with the help of Joel Puerzibilla's card position.

Then, it will be time for the Bucks to counterattack again! "

The Bucks' conversion is not only about serving the ball quickly and making long passes after the opponent scores a goal. Many times, they protect the frame and defend the rebounds, grab defensive rebounds and counterattack, which is also a good time to score.

But this time, the king was more cautious.

Christie and Bibby noticed that Ray Allen was running back when Peja shot, and immediately followed, in case Peja made a goal and the Bucks went straight to Ray Allen at the basket in the frontcourt for a quick layup.

Because Ray Allen was blocked, the Bucks' fast-break intention was seen through, and the Bucks could only pass the ball to He Li, who had no one in front of him.

Peja was naughty trying to steal, but He Li was higher and faster.

He Li immediately passed Peja in one step after receiving the ball.

In this way, the frontcourt is a 2-on-2 situation.

Seeing this, Ray Allen immediately ran to the bottom corner without the ball to help He Li clear the space under the basket.

Because Bibi was too short, it would be useless to defeat He Li who ran out to interfere.

Therefore, Bibby can only continue to chase Ray Allen, and Christie helps defend him, trying to interfere with He Li's shooting or hitting the basket.

Faced with such a one-on-one opportunity, He Li didn't hesitate. He took one step from inside the three-point line, made two steps out of three, and rushed to the basket.

Christie saw He Li rushing towards him, and wanted to make He Li an offensive foul.

Who would have thought that He Li's striding meteor ran too fast, Christie's footing was not stable, and He Li had already taken off and smashed Huashan.

"It's too cruel, is this a tsunami?

Doug Christie was like a cruise ship, washed up on the coastline by He Li like a stormy sea.

He Li's buckle this time is too scary, too violent! "

Christie was dunked by He Li for more than one meter, but He Li was not called for an offensive foul.

If it wasn't for Christie's honesty and didn't follow the lateral movement to block, or reach out for small movements, the ball would have been sentenced to a blocking foul.

"Are you all right, Doug?"

After He Li dunked the basket, screaming to the sky, beating his chest and stamping his feet, the king's players stepped forward to pull up Christie who had fallen to the ground.

Christie got up from the ground, rubbed her chest, and said in pain, "What a monster! I'm afraid I couldn't withstand such a fierce impact when I was young."

Christie is only 33 this year, so it stands to reason that she is not old, and she is even in her prime.

Liquor is poison that pierces the intestines, and color is a steel knife that scrapes bones. When NBA players are in their 30s, if they cannot become superstars, they will only gradually decay and fall, leaving room for a new generation of players.

Nowadays, a veteran like Christie is really afraid of being young, and he is most afraid of a man with unreasonable physical fitness like He Li.

Of course, He Li's technique is also very strong, but He Li's physical talent cannot be ignored.

In just two or three rounds, He Li didn't make much effort, and the king saw the power of He Li, the new FMVP.

Even Rick Adelman, seeing He Li's influence on the court, had to sigh with emotion; "If you give me another He Li while having Chris, will I still need the Princeton system?"

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for He Li and Webber to play on the same team.

Otherwise, if two power forwards with excellent athletic ability and good passing skills play together, other teams will basically have nothing to play.

After all, as long as there are enough shooters, He Li and Webber pick and roll each other, occasionally play the organization, and distribute the ball to the shooters, they can lead the team to beat most NBA teams.

"Congratulations to the Bucks, once again achieved a commendable victory!"

The King's strength is close to that of the Bucks, and it really deserves to be the No. [-] team in the Western Conference.

Although the Bucks won today's game, they fought against the Kings until the fourth quarter to completely decide the outcome.

The king's configuration is not bad, and there is no problem with the bench lineup.

On the contrary, the Bucks, because they are playing back-to-back games, their overall state is slightly worse.

Otherwise, the Bucks will play better, and it is not impossible to win the Kings in three quarters.

Last season, the King's style of play and style restrained the Bucks, but this season they have no advantage in this regard.

In fact, the Bucks' extreme acceleration in the second quarter also made the King's Princeton system look a little loose and chaotic.

If He Li was leading the second team at the time, the Kings might have been in trouble in the second quarter.

But because the All-Star Game is coming soon, Bucks stars belong to the data to become All-Stars, and the Bucks need the main lineup to stay healthy, so they still have reservations about playing the regular season.

After defeating the Kings, the Bucks continued their winning streak.

On January 1, the Bucks defeated the Bulls at home effortlessly, and then on the 10th, they played back-to-back against the Pistons again.

Since the Pistons are also back-to-back, they played against the Pelicans who have fallen to sixth in the Eastern Conference in the last game. It still took a lot of energy, and they were in worse condition than the Bucks.

So in this battle, the Bucks took some advantage, relying on the lineup advantage and the depth of the bench, they easily won 112 to 95.

Turning to the 14th, the Bucks repelled the Eagles at home and scored 142 points on the spot again.

The back-to-back game against the Raptors on the 15th was similar. The Bucks scored 135 points in the icy Toronto, while the Bucks' opponent, the Raptors, only had 85 points.

In other words, if the Raptors did not lack Carter, it would not work.

The Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Heat and other bad teams also thought that the Raptors were also going for the No. [-] pick!

While the Bucks once again achieved eight consecutive victories, the results of the third round of voting for the All-Star Game have also been announced.

He Li's status as the all-star vote leader is as stable as Mount Tai, and now the cumulative number of votes has reached 158 million, while Jordan, McGrady and others have won more than 100 million votes because of their joint operation with He Li.

Among them, with 132 million votes, Jordan officially became the second forward in the Eastern Conference and entered the list of All-Star starters.

McGrady is a little worse, even 10,000+ votes worse than Carter, who was injured and missed the game.

However, McGrady led the team alone because of Hill's injury again, but the Magic's record was stable in the top eight in the Eastern Conference, and their personal data was quite good.

According to previous calculations, the Eastern All-Star backup forward must have a place for him.

However, in this way, Pierce will be in a hurry.

The reason is that Pierce and O'Neal haven't fully adjusted well, and the Celtics' record has stabilized, but Pierce's data has dropped a bit.

Recently, there have been rumors that Carter is about to return from injury.

If the Raptors, who were originally contending for the No. [-] pick, re-enter the playoffs under the leadership of Carter, then the tepid Pierce may be squeezed out by Carter.

After all, Carter was the All-Star vote leader before. Even if the coaches of the league don't like Carter, they still need to consider the influence from the NBA headquarters.
