I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 252 Stepping up if you can't beat it?If you can't kill it, you will only become stronger!

"I'm really proud of what we did tonight! We're a fighting team.

But at this moment, I have to admit that the Bucks are a powerful defending champion.

Before we can achieve our goals for this season, we must resolve the immediate difficulties.

Beating the Bucks is what we have to do, and I believe we will get through this time. "

After losing the game, facing the unavoidable post-match interview, O'Neal could only answer the media reporters in this way.

There is nothing wrong with what O'Neal said. The Celtics are still a team that is expected to compete for the championship when they meet other teams, but they should lose when they meet the defending champion Bucks.

At this stage, O'Neal wants to lead the team to break through the Bucks, but everyone pretends to be confused. It is basically impossible to beat the Bucks this season.

You must know that the Bucks this season won 72 wins in the regular season!

In the history of the league, the Bulls led by Jordan have done it!

Seeing that He Li led the Bucks to another big win in the playoffs, it is hard not to think that the Bucks will establish their own dynasty.

O'Neal, who has personally experienced two consecutive championships, is well aware of the difficulty of establishing a dynasty, but at this time he subconsciously believes that the Bucks led by He Li do have this possibility.

"What a group of lucky guys." O'Neal thought of the Bucks' stars who had difficulty entering the All-Star Game.

O'Neal vaguely felt that the Bucks' stars had a chance to get the third championship ring earlier than him.

This can't help but make O'Neal feel a lot of emotion: "My grandma can win the championship when she plays with He Li."

Of course, the series hasn't finished yet, and O'Neal didn't say this to the media reporters.

"It's unbearable, it's a tough loss and I'm sure we're all going to have trouble sleeping today."

Pierce, who was also interviewed, performed completely differently from O'Neal. As the boss of the team, O'Neal still affirmed the efforts of his teammates.

But Pierce felt that everyone was not doing well enough.

In fact, the answers of the two are essentially the same.

Both O'Neal and Pierce could see the Celtics' problem, and the core problem is that the bench lineup is too rubbish.

And what caused all this?That's because the Celtics didn't have enough capital space before. If they want to exchange for a super giant like O'Neal, they can only trade half of the team.

O'Neal understands this exactly, so he won't say that our role players are too rubbish and not as deep as the Bucks' lineup, so we can't beat the Bucks.

The well-known O'Neal affirmed and encouraged the performance of other Celtics players, and shouldered the responsibility of the team leader.

But Pierce is not the boss of the team, and Pierce doesn't need to be so generous.

Moreover, Pierce was not that magnanimous, but very narrow-minded.

Pierce just wants to get back the face of being swept by the Bucks last season. Pierce wants to beat the Bucks and avenge his shame.

Pierce also wants to reach the Finals and win a championship.

But now it seems that the Celtics have no role players who can really be tough in the playoffs.

It is impossible for the game to be played by only two leading players. The Celtics lack players who can help in the playoffs, so it will be difficult to win the final victory and win the championship.

Pierce had a faint sense of disillusionment, so he had to take a slant, trying to use humiliating and stimulating methods to motivate his teammates, so that more people in the Celtics team broke out and stood up to do things.

In addition, Pierce also has the intention to remind the management to sign reinforcements in the next offseason.

After all, the Celtics can't just rely on O'Neal and him to fight.

Facts have proved that if you want to win the championship these years, the more stars the better.

At the same time, unlike the pain, frustration, and extremes of O'Neill and Pierce, the Bucks interview area was full of laughter.

"There is nothing to say. I personally think that our biggest challenge now is not to be bored or uninterested in winning. We should continue to fight and maintain a positive and high morale."

If it weren't for the hospitality, Ray Allen actually didn't want to be interviewed.

Ray Allen prefers to stay alone in the arena and practice for a while, rather than boasting to the media reporters.

However, as a member of the defending champion team, Ray Allen felt a faint sense of crisis.

This season has been played so smoothly, and many people in the Bucks will unknowingly be too relaxed and impetuous.

Ray Allen saw wine bottles in the locker room. Although no one dared to drink in the locker room and no one dared to violate the rules, Ray Allen thought it was an ominous omen.

Now that it is the second round of the playoffs, Ray Allen feels that it is necessary to use this occasion to talk to outsiders and to his own people. Everyone should be more cautious.

However, saying this on this occasion, it is difficult for anyone to think that Ray Allen is carefully reminding the Bucks teammates.

Everyone just thinks that Ray Allen, who is so rare to get along with, can't help but want Versailles occasionally today.

Cassel found that Ray Allen was pretending, and couldn't help but tell a story.

"He Li once told me that he likes the feeling of winning, he will be excited every time he wins.

But I want to tell him, and I want to tell everyone.

A team like ours wasn't built just to win the regular season.

We need to work hard and really win the NBA championship like last season! "

He Li heard that his teammates were all pretending to be aggressive, and couldn't help showing off in public.

When He Li was asked "How do you feel about scoring 30 points today", He Li took advantage of the situation and said, "This is normal, isn't the playoffs the place to show your ability?

I can score 30 points, inspire my teammates, and win games, so why wouldn't I?

Scoring high points is one of the tricks for me to lead the team to win, and he will lead me even more excited! "

Hearing what He Li said, Cassel echoed: "When you have a super-level teammate like He Li, it is very interesting to watch his performance.

When he is scoring high points in the game, you will love to be part of this kind of great moment.

Especially when he's been playing the right way, there's no reason why you shouldn't support him doing it.

It is a kind of enjoyment to be teammates with He Li and play with He Li! "

In today's game, He Li didn't score 30 points after the first three quarters, so when the outcome of the fourth quarter was almost clear, He Li scored 30 points before leaving the game. He was indeed suspected of scoring points.

But whoever called the Celtics' leading players O'Neal and Pierce are also on the court, so He Li is famous for scoring points on the court, and it does not affect the big score to win the game.

For He Li, it was simply two good things coming together, which produced a more pleasing result.

Even after the post-match interview, some reporters harbored ill intentions towards He Li, but after He Li pretended to be aggressive, he still got the support of important teammates like Kassel.

All I can say is, perfect!

In addition, the Bucks' winning atmosphere is also very important.

Under the leadership of He Li, the Bucks have been winning and have a stable record. They have not encountered any trouble in the playoffs, so no matter what He Li does out of the ordinary, other players can tolerate it.

Not to mention, He Li scored very efficiently on the court, and He Li did help other teammates get a more comfortable playing environment through his own influence when he was on the court.

Such He Li, naturally no teammates would have any objections.

One day later, on May 5, the second playoff game between the Bucks and the Celtics continued.

Basically, it was the script of G1. In the first quarter, the Celtics relied on O'Neal and Pierce to play fairly steadily and stabilized the situation with difficulty.

But in the second quarter, the Celtics were limited by the depth of the lineup and O'Neal's physical strength. They were dizzy by the Bucks' targeted running and bombing, and quickly opened up the difference of more than ten points.

At the beginning of the third quarter, O'Neal could barely play, and the Celtics could only rely on Pierce to lead the team alone.

However, this time, Pierce's hand feeling was quite bad. Instead of waiting for O'Neal to return, he directly ruined the Celtics' chance to resist in the fourth quarter.

After three quarters, the point difference between the two teams reached 40+. Without the Celtics asking, the Bucks took the initiative to withdraw the main players, leaving only the second and third teams of young players to practice on the court.

In this way, the Bucks easily won two match points without any effort.

Although it is an away game next, the Bucks are expected to continue to sweep the playoff opponents and win this round of the series at the TD North Shore Garden Arena.

If it is based on the strength of the team and the normal style of play, the process of this round of the series is indeed the same.

But the Celtics have been quiet for a long time, and finally have a big killer in the playoffs like O'Neal, and a young and trustworthy outside star like Pierce, the Celtics don't want to wait any longer.

Ever since, the Celtics chose to take risks and impose vicious offenses on the Bucks players.

If it is said that abolishing a head player of the Bucks is expected to win the final victory of this round of the series, who would be more suitable than He Li?

He Li is the core of the Bucks holding the ball and the leader of the team.

The Bucks lack Heli, not only can't run and gun, they can't even play the triangle offense, the core tactic of winning last season.

There is no doubt that He Li is the key to the Bucks, and it can also touch the hearts of all Bucks players.

Therefore, the Celtics took advantage of double-teaming He Li, but He Li still took the opportunity to make a shot, stepping quietly at He Li's feet.

Fortunately, He Li knows that the Celtics have always had an "iron and blood" atmosphere. Why did the Pistons Bad Boys appear in the late 80s? Wasn't it forced out by the Celtics?

The Pistons couldn't beat the peak Celtics, a group of [-] superstar all-star lineups, so they had to go slanted, incarnated as a devil, and ended the Celtics with more extreme filth than the Celtics' iron blood.

What He Li learned from Jordan is not just leaning back.

Since there are dirty players like Bowen in the league, He Li has always paid attention to the landing protection after shooting.

As for defensive players making defensive actions, there are signs of abnormal defense, which can still be seen from He Li who played two years ago.

After He Li saw the Celtics defensive player leaning forward and stretching his legs unnecessary, he immediately looked down at the landing space under his feet.

Sure enough, the preparations for stepping on the feet have been done, just wait for him to step on it in free fall.

It was too late to say it, but it was too late, He Li realized that the situation was not good, and it was too late to adjust his steps, and he staggered the opponent's feet.

In the end, I had no choice but to break the jar, stretch out my hand in the air and push it, and use my strength to throw it away.

Fortunately, He Li still succeeded. He Li relied on his hands to borrow strength, coupled with the strength of his waist and abdomen, he actively performed the buttocks landing on the flat sand and falling geese. In the end, the deliberate stepping of the Celtics failed, and "intentional murder" became "attempted murder".

He Li doesn't know if his career will undergo a huge turning point like Carter's after he is really recruited. He can only play health-preserving basketball in his life, and he can't smash the thermos bottle during the national live broadcast and kill the Quartet.

Fortunately, in the end, he protected himself by keeping an eye on him and being quick-witted.

He Li did fall, but his buttocks were still solid, with muscle and fat as a buffer, so he didn't hit the tailbone, so it was fine.

Just when He Li got up and was about to flex his muscles and argue with the Celtics' dirty players, he never expected that He Li was called a malicious foul by the on-site referee.

This makes He Li feel nonsensical?At first, He Li thought it was the Celtic villain who filed the complaint first.

It was only later that I realized that there were a lot of rubbish referees in the league. At this moment, the rubbish referees didn't even want to face, and ended up in person.

This also made He Li realize that the judgment scale of today's game is biased towards the Celtics. Perhaps it is not the idea of ​​the league headquarters, but the rubbish referees on the scene.

Of course, He Li is not the first player to be hurt by garbage referees.

Long before He Li, because he was too independent and promoted black street culture in the league, Iverson was targeted by many white referees.

Even if the league knew about this phenomenon and sent league officials to monitor the game, there were still several blatantly supporting referees who "punished" Iverson.

Maybe it's because He Li is too powerful, or maybe it's because He Li is an outlier. He Li has won the love of many American fans, and has also been hated by some people in the industry.

It has to be said that after so many years of development in the NBA, it is not unreasonable for Jordan to stagnate as soon as he retires.

The NBA has already begun to involve, but it's not very serious.

After all, this is a business alliance with a mature operating model that has been in business for decades.

And it's a league where whites manage blacks.

There are very few white people like Stern who can treat people of different colors equally.

If you think about it, before Stern took over, the NBA was almost out of business.

Over the past 20 years, the NBA has developed rapidly, but the group of people who made the league almost impossible to operate basically remained in the league, and even became the core management personnel of the league.

Of course, some blacks also held some power in the league.

But they are also unlikely to really like He Li.

After going through such a bad thing, I understand the cruelty of this alliance and the way to survive.

He Li knows what he wants to do in the future, what he can do, what he still needs to do, and there are many, many more.

As the pioneer of Chinese players arriving in the NBA, He Li has the responsibility and obligation to pave the way for future generations, just like Yao Ming's younger generation did in memory...

And to do all this, He Li needs to become stronger!
Closer to home, He Li was stepped on, was convicted of a criminal, and was directly expelled for a second-degree malicious foul.

He Li was very angry, but He Li's teammates were very upbeat.

When He Li was still on the court, the Bucks had already won by nearly 10 points. When He Li was not on the court, the Bucks still won this extremely important G3 by relying on the depth of the lineup.

At this time, I have to talk about the benefits of veterans.

Barkley and Ewing noticed that He Li was stepped on, and the referee was also very angry when he sentenced the criminal to be expelled.

But apart from being angry, they knew very well that they came to hug their thighs and get the championship ring.

It is impossible for them to watch the Celtics co-ref hack the Eastern Conference Finals, Finals, and championship that should belong to them, and then wait another year to get the championship ring.

Therefore, when the Bucks needed them, they used their rich experience in the playoffs to tell other players in the Bucks how to keep calm and how to win the game without their power.

At the same time, they also refined the remaining oil in the fuel tank, turned on the firepower, and burned the last spark.

In this game, Barkley and Ewing scored 11 points and 8 points respectively, which may not seem like many points, but for a substitute player who played more than ten minutes, it is really incredible to get such points in the playoffs.

The Bucks also relied on the stable performance of the two veterans to stabilize the morale of the army, and finally won the victory that should have belonged to them.

After the game, the core players of the Bucks also shut their mouths tightly under the urging of the team management, and presented themselves to the media reporters as a vulnerable group. This method put real pressure on the league officials.

Most of the second-level malicious fouls will be fined, and the serious ones will be suspended.

Given how much Stern values ​​He Li and the Chinese market, there is a high probability that He Li only needs to pay a fine.

But if the Bucks win the game, make a fuss about what happened today and use public opinion to put pressure on the league headquarters.

Then maybe He Li will become a chicken to make an example to others!The Bucks management is aware of this. For the safety of He Li and the victory of the series, they finally chose to swallow their anger.

Perhaps because of this crime, the Bucks were not made things difficult by the referee in G4.

He Li was not injured in the siege of the Celtics while avoiding jump shots and a lot of confrontation.

The Bucks once again defeated the Celtics with a complete lineup of 112 to 95, successfully swept the playoff opponents, and successfully advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Just when the public opinion media rediscussed the possibility of the Bucks defending the championship and whether it is expected to set a new record of FO, FO, FO, FO in the playoffs again.

Before the opening of the Eastern Conference, He Li exclaimed, "Whatever doesn't kill me will only make me stronger!"

Everyone knows what He Li is talking about. Although the incident has passed, there are still video materials, so a new round of reports has begun.

At this time, the league officials began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

After all, they also knew that this matter was their fault. Although they were a little displeased with He Liqiu's behavior of settling accounts, they could only pretend to be ignorant and let He Li mess around.
