I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 248 The Past Is Yours, The Future Is Mine!
Jordan tried his best to cut He Li off the court by fouling, and then Jordan made two free throws, which also helped the Wizards successfully tie the score.

However, Jordan played almost 20 minutes in the first half.

In the second quarter, the Bucks ran and blasted again, but Jordan was tired enough.

On the other hand, the core players on the Bucks side, Ray Allen, Reed, and Cassell have just finished their break and have not come up for a long time, and some of them are physically strong and head-to-head with the Wizards.

Therefore, He Li was not affected much because of the early exit of the four offenders.

On the contrary, the Wizards were not efficient because of Jordan's physical problems, and Stackhouse itself was not efficient. The team lacked people who could really put the ball into the basket. In the 2 minutes before the end of the second quarter, they were beaten 9-4 by the Bucks.

In the end, the Bucks entered the second half with a 5-point advantage.

After the intermission, Jordan, who returned to the court as soon as possible in the third quarter, returned to his touch.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Jordan had already scored 20 points, which made people speechless. Is this still human?

However, although Jordan is very brave, the Bucks have more firepower.

The Wizards thought that after He Li was sent off, the Bucks lacked organizers and a big ball-holding core, and the Bucks' overall scoring efficiency would decline.

Unexpectedly, the series between the Wizards and the Bucks has reached the third game. The Wizards players have accumulated a lot of fatigue points, and in the first half of this game, they were exhausted by the Bucks' running and bombing tactics.

In the third quarter, the symptoms of muscle soreness and exhaustion became more obvious.

Correspondingly, the Bucks can create a better offensive space when attacking, and rely on the personal strength of the star to complete the shot.

At the same time, the main players of the Bucks gained more ball rights after lacking He Li. Under such "incentives", they naturally performed better.

"Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound, fast break! Ray Allen caught the ball in the middle circle, fast break, rushed to the basket and dunked!"

"The alien Cassel hit Tyronn Lue with his back and made a half-block shot!"

"Michael Reed took a step outside the three-point line and swung his left hand to help the Bucks make another three-pointer. Who can stand it?"

The Bucks without Heli played more decisively and aggressively.

This is mainly because He Li is not on the court. The three of Ray Allen do not need to consider whether the shot is reasonable. They have the ball in their own hands, and they can shoulder the offensive responsibility and make strong shots against the opponent's defense.

In fact, they have this ability, but He Li's ability is stronger.

On this point, Ray Allen and others are clear.

Everyone recognizes He Li's strength and truly respects He Li as the boss of the Bucks.

So in previous games, once they felt that the shot would not be good, they would pass the ball again without hesitation, directly to He Li, or let other teammates pass to He Li, instead of directly shooting regardless.

To put it simply, they need to play team basketball with He Li on the court, and they need to respect He Li, the team leader.

He Li is not on the court, they all think that they are the team's second-in-command, and with the ball in hand, there is no reason to "throw the pot".

In fact, they all have the strength of the second-in-command team in the playoffs.

In this match, this group of second masters showed their strength to the fullest.

When He Li re-entered the game in the middle of the third quarter, the score was already 79-67, with the Bucks leading by 12 points.

Although this quarter only achieved a 7-point advantage, this is in the playoffs, and it is no longer easy to win by 7 points in half a quarter.

Speaking of He Li playing again, the Wizards had to get nervous again.

When He Li is not around, the Wizards are showing signs of decline. Now that He Li is on the court with a big dog, will he just play a wave and take the Bucks away?
"Jerry, we have to get rid of He Li, you know what I mean?"

What Jordan said is very clear. He Li has already committed 4 offenses. As long as Jordan and Stackhouse call He Li by name, He Li may soon bear 5 offenses and end up again.

However, He Li's defense is very strong, and it is not a wise choice to break into the penalty area to challenge He Li, especially when the Wizards are still behind.

If He Li defends several shots in a row, and then is easily scored by the Bucks fast-break counterattack, then the Wizards will have nothing to play.

In short, the strategy of making fouls against He Li is a last resort.

This is a double-edged sword. Only when the opportunity is right, or if you have to do it, will you be able to win by surprise and survive.

Just say that today, even if Jordan made He Li bear 2 fouls in the first half, it was only by chance and coincidence that he kept looking for opportunities to make a fuss.

Coupled with the help of the referee today, He Li was in an embarrassing situation with a total of 4 fouls in the first half.

Now that there is one and a half quarters left, the Wizards strive to let He Li get 5 fouls earlier, so that the Wizards also have the opportunity to keep the suspense of the game until the end.

After all, as long as He Li is off the court, the Bucks will lose a superstar. Even if the Wizards are still behind in the third quarter, they still have a chance to overtake the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Not to mention that at the end of the fourth quarter, Jordan and Stackhouse can continue to name He Li and find trouble for He Li.

If He Li dare not defend because he is afraid of carrying the sixth offender, then their offense will be easier, and their strategy of single-playing He Li will be successful.

But then again, it's only the third quarter, and the game is far from being decided.

If it were someone else, who already had 4 fouls and knew that the referee had a "prejudice" against him, he would have some concerns when he played again.

But what about He Li?
"If you are going to die anyway, let the storm be more violent!"

Based on the idea of ​​"checking in three quarters", He Li defended with a correct attitude from the beginning.

He Li's static talent is quite good, and he is in the defense position. As long as he is not too fast and can't miss He Li, He Li can press up and defend.

"I won't let you go this time!" After playing, Jordan continued to trouble He Li.

He Li was also ready to fight, without any intention of dodging.

"A true warrior is not afraid of any challenge!
He Li didn't drop his defensive strength, He Li's defense was still so aggressive and clean!

He Li destroyed Michael Jordan's dribble, and He Li completed a steal in front of Michael Jordan.

He Li didn't pass the ball, made a fast break with steals, took off from the free throw line, and dunked with a big windmill with one arm!

The sky is the limit for him!

He Li used this ball to tell everyone what talent is!What is a big heart! "

"Although He Li is not yet 20 years old, the facts have proved that He Li is the best player in the world, bar none!"

"I look forward to He Li being sent off, and I also expect He Li to bring us more surprises before he is sent off!"

He Li ignored the foul trouble and went all out to defend. This did cause a lot of trouble for the Wizards.

But doing so will eventually be found by Jordan, Stackhouse and the referees.

He Li was doomed to be sent off for 6 fouls, but He Li did not waste every second he was on the court.

He Li is actively helping the Bucks win this game and is making continuous contributions.

In the end, with 54 seconds left in the third quarter, He Li was sent off for another foul by Jordan, but at this time the Bucks' lead over the Wizards still expanded to 19 points.

That's right, George Karl didn't remove He Li and protect He Li when He Li was carrying 5 criminals.

George Karl let He Li show his talents on the court to his heart's content, inspire the Bucks with practical actions, and use his own power to defeat the support of the Wizards fans.

The Wizards did get their wish and sent off He Li, but He Li's three-quarter check-in has also been accomplished.

He Li himself scored 24 points, which may be slightly worse than before.

However, considering that He Li took some extra rest time at the end of the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter, this efficiency is still considerable.

Not to mention that there are some more steals and blocks today, these data are enough to prove what success He Li has.

It is said that after He Li left the field, the Bucks worked together and made persistent efforts. Following this momentum, they continued to expand the score to 20 points or less.

The Wizards had no choice but to play the main force, but Jordan and Stackhouse were unable to recover.

In the absence of He Li, the Wizards still lost the Bucks by 23 points.

In this regard, the Bucks won three consecutive victories and continued to maintain an unbeaten record.

In G4, Jordan, who was exhausted, was not as fierce as the first three games.

As if on purpose, after Jordan scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, he didn't ask for the ball or make another shot.

The Wizards in this round of the series have no hope of making a comeback. The Wizards in G4 lost to the Bucks by nearly 20 points in the first half, and He Li was not troubled by fouls.

However, until the last second of the game, Jordan did not give up completely.

At least Jordan's offensive and defensive attitudes are fine. Although Jordan stopped attacking at the last moment, he is still defending and creating opportunities for his teammates.

Jordan has already passed on the inheritance to He Li, and the rest of the Wizards boss position is also handed over to Stackhouse cleanly, without any nostalgia.

Jordan fed Stackhouse the ball in the closing minutes of Game 4, which makes sense.

Of course, as the game entered the fourth quarter, it was almost doomed to be swept by the Bucks in this round of the series.

"I won't let you go this time!" After the game and the series ended, Jordan was still walking in front of He Li and said such a sentence.

He Li didn't think it was nonsense, instead he hugged Jordan who was half a head shorter than him.

"The past is yours, the future is mine. Congratulations, Michael, from today onwards, you can rest easy!"

"Hey, boy, I can't rest assured until I get your autographed jersey!"

He Li squeezed Jordan's shiny head, and Jordan also patted He Li's shoulder with his big hand.

However, when Jordan and He Li stood shoulder to shoulder, He Li was more or less guilty.

"Jordan's hands are not only big, but his shoulders are really wide!" After discovering that Jordan's shoulder width is very different from ordinary people, He Li will inevitably think of Xiaoka.

Standing together with Leonard, Lowry looks like a primary school student, while He Li stands with Jordan. Although he is tall, he looks more like a bodyguard...
