I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 243 The playoffs are open, the Bucks' three-guard tactic!
Time came to April 4 in a blink of an eye, and the first round of the NBA playoffs will officially start today.

If you want to say which game is the most worthy of attention in today's NBA playoffs, there is no doubt that it can be anything other than the Bucks vs. Wizards game?
Almost all NBA viewers know that Jordan will officially announce his retirement after this playoffs!

Why didn't Jordan start his retirement tour with the Wizards after he announced his semi-retirement in the All-Star Game?
Isn't it to focus all your energy on helping the Wizards make the playoffs?

Jordan used practical actions to express that he would use his last playoff action and even the results to successfully end his career and his unsatisfactory second comeback trip.

Not to mention, your uncle is still your uncle, Jordan really led the Pistons to the playoffs, although Stackhouse still has some credit and hard work.

But I have to say that Jordan is old and strong, as long as he can fight, he can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and he will fight endlessly.

The Wizards schedule at the end of this season is not very friendly to them. In order to lead the Wizards to the playoffs, it is rumored that Jordan is injured, but it is not very serious.

Jordan is also willful, anyway, he is going to retire, so he will be closed and continue to play in the playoffs.

In fact, blocking needles is also a routine treatment method. Blocking needles will not have much negative effect on athletes, but will have a good therapeutic effect.

As for those who received a closed injection and the subsequent injury aggravated, or even the injury was too serious and irreversible, the main reason is that they fought too hard during the closed injection, and the injured part continued to be injured, so the injury would naturally worsen.

For young players with potential, the body and the future are of course more important than anything else.

For role players and veterans who are on the verge of retiring, when they meet the stage of the playoffs and the finals, they can use closed needles and future health to have a better competitive state now, and they can’t say that they don’t know. Sometimes it may be a lifetime of regret if they don’t fight hard!
On the contrary, after fighting hard, he was able to bear with his teammates when they lost, and to be crazy when they won.

Having said that, it is also because Jordan has hidden dangers of injury. This year's playoffs were restructured, and the first round was changed to G7. Therefore, for the Bucks who have already learned this information, it is not a big problem to solve the Wizards.

Anyway, the undercover agent Stackhouse has already been found, and the Bucks can resort to such a killer move at any time.

It is precisely because of this that the Bucks did not pay much attention to this round of playoffs.

Of course, not too lightly.The Bucks are going to use this round of playoffs to find the status of the players on the team.

Most stars need a certain amount of time to enter the playoff mode, because the defensive intensity in the playoffs has greatly increased, and many offensive methods and offensive methods that can work in the regular season may not be effective.

Some stars spend one or two games to adjust to find the offensive method he is best at and most suitable for use in the playoffs to help the team go further.

Sometimes it is also because of the opponent's defensive targeting and changes in tactical habits, and the star has to passively adjust his state.

For the Bucks in this round of playoffs, in addition to giving He Li and others some time to adapt to the playoffs, there is also the idea of ​​using games as a substitute for training and honing newcomers.

There are a lot of rookies in the Bucks. Although it is much better than last season, what about the next few seasons?

The Bucks must think long-term!

Even if it's not for continuing to compete for the championship in the coming year, He Li still needs helpers who are familiar with the playoffs.

Look at the Jazz's Utah Shuangsha, and the Spurs' Duncan knows that as long as the Bucks have any strength, as long as there is no serious injury, they will basically enter the playoffs every year.

The Bucks need to maintain such competitiveness, but now there is a problem, that is, there are only 12 players in the playoff roster, that is, only 12 players can be played in a game.

With the addition of the Bucks He Li and the three Musketeers, Reid occupies 5 places, and the basic salary veterans Ewing and Barkley must be brought.

With 5 rosters left, the Bucks must bring a meat shield center and the only regular center Joel.

In order to prevent He Li from consuming too much energy holding the ball, backup point guard Alston also needs to be brought.

But for these people, in another year or two, because of the Bucks' salary structure, only a very few will stay in the Bucks in the end.

For the next few seasons, at least within He Li's rookie contract, the Bucks must use the remaining three rosters to train Kwame Brown, Boozer and others.

Under He Li's suggestion, in the Bucks' first playoff game against the Wizards, the Bucks' last active list was given to Bobby Simmons.

Bobby Simmons is a small forward with outside shooting ability, suitable for running and bombing, and can help the team open up space.

It's cheaper to develop Bobby Simmons than anyone else.

Of course, the Bucks have three inactive rosters left. If there are more training games in the playoffs and the competition is not very fierce, the Bucks can also use the playoffs to make some fuss about cultivating rookies.

Instead of nailing the 7-9 rotation like other playoff teams.

Closer to home.

The two teams started to play, and the game entered the jump ball link.

Recently, Kwame Brown has become more and more competent as the Bucks' starting center. Although there are many guest power forward games, Kwame Brown has no problem playing the fifth position.

The Wizards sent the jumper to rookie Brandon Haywood, not veteran Kristin Laettner.

Looking at this posture, it may even make people mistakenly think that the Wizards are already preparing for the next few seasons and starting to train newcomers with playoff experience.

"Kwame Brown helps the Bucks get first possession."

"Alien Cassel passed the ball to He Li who was standing at the top arc, Michael Reed set up a pick and roll for He Li, rolled down the pick and roll, and received the ball at the corner.

Michael Reid continued to rush towards the basket, He Li and Ray Allen were ready to receive the ball in the top arc and left corner respectively.

The Wizards didn't know who to keep an eye on, but there were still people guarding He Li.

Michael Reid made an emergency stop for a jumper, made an open shot, and scored two points!

The Bucks did a great job of passing the ball this time. The Bucks made full use of He Li's influence on the court to complete this offense! "

The Bucks only scored two points on the first attack, but Reed's mid-range shots came out too easily this time, and even many times in the regular season, there were no such shots.

"Is this the treatment of a big dog?" Reid, who made his debut in the playoffs for the first time, said happily.

Because Dagou has just recovered from his injury, it is hard to say what his competitive state is, so he will come off the bench today.

And Reid played instead of the big dog, and the Bucks played a three-guard lineup.

In this way, the height of the Bucks' outside line has indeed dropped a bit, but considering that the big dog's defense is not much better than Reid, so this arrangement is no problem.

What's more, how powerful is the defense!In this way, it is not impossible for the Bucks to play three guards.

Speaking of the three-back lineup, it is really easy to play offensively.

Not to mention, Reed and He Li played a pick-and-roll, and with the help of He Li's ability to attract double-teams, coupled with Reed's own breakthrough ability, he could easily reach the penalty area.

For other teams, there are still two people under the basket. Reed wants to go to the basket to challenge Brandon Heywood, but he must also be careful about being double-teamed and barely shot, and then blocked.

But Ray Allen ran to the bottom corner without the ball, and He Li was ready to catch the ball at the top arc.

In an instant, the Wizards' defensive players are scattered everywhere, and the Bucks' overall offensive space is very large.

By the time Reed gets to the basket, it's a two-on-one with Kwame Brown.

In fact, even if Reid didn't make an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot just now, he could have faked the shot and sent Brandon Heywood flying, and then made a real pass to call the ball to Kwame Brown, allowing the latter to eat a pie and complete the attack.

But in the end, Reid chose to go on his own.
