Chapter 258 Stress, So He Li Knows Everything!
"Our Mavericks are back at home, and our Mavericks are expected to win at home!"

"Dirk Nowitzki is no longer weak, he can really lead the team to win the game!"

"He Li can't stop Dirk Nowitzki. In terms of offense, Dirk Nowitzki is no longer under any power."

At this time, the Mavericks fans who were watching the game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas were very shocked!
Before they came to watch the game, they knew very well in their hearts that G3 of the finals was a matter of life and death for the Mavericks.

They thought that the Bucks, who swept the championship last season, would continue to suppress the Mavericks for a whole game. If the Mavericks want to win this game, they can only expect a miracle to happen in the fourth quarter.

But I never expected that since Nash connected with Nowitzki and completed the first offense, the Mavericks have been in the lead.

At least so far, whenever the Bucks complete their offense, Dirk, Finley, and Nash will definitely stand up and respond.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks' signings during the offseason last season were not in vain.

After Popeye Jones became a member of the Mavericks, there has been a running-in problem. The game data and team contribution are not as good as the Mavericks expected.

But in the finals, Nelson Sr. found that the Bucks used a small lineup, and Popeye Jones could start as a small forward.

In addition to the fact that Popeye Jones is more experienced in defending He Li, it is because Popeye Jones dares to fight hard and can bite the opponent like a mad dog while defending, increasing the opponent's physical energy consumption.

This pair of Mavericks can play a positive role against the Bucks.

In addition, when Popeye Jones defended the third position, Finley was placed in the second position. The overall height of the Mavericks became higher, and it was more beneficial to protect the frame and grab rebounds.

Because of improving defense and gaining more possessions by rebounding, this will be the key to the Mavericks defeating the Bucks.

However, in the previous games, He Li did not have a big package to show off his might. Popeye Jones could only slightly restrict He Li during the matchup.

After all, He Li is the playmaker of the Bucks.

Even if Popeye Jones wants to do his best to prevent He Li from attacking, He Li can ignore Popeye Jones and just pass the ball.

And if it's just Popeye Jones defending He Li alone, He Li will occasionally choose singles. After the previous two games, the efficiency is quite impressive.

Because the Bucks have too many offensive points, the starting players, except for the center, have super one-on-one singles ability.

The Mavericks can't let go of the master outside the three-point line like the Bucks and the others.

Then take advantage of the large number of people, five-on-four-on-zone defense, and have enough troops to break the Bucks' overall offensive system.

He Li's shooting range, offense, and organizational ability are too much of a threat to the Mavericks, and whether it is single defense or double-teaming, it is not a good solution to He Li.

Therefore, the way the Mavericks can weaken He Li's influence is to increase the consumption of He Li through frequent physical contact between He Li and the free throw line after receiving the ball.

Before the No Handcheck rule appeared, whether it was a weak point guard or a top offensive player with the ball, they would all be troubled by Handcheck defense.

The defender gains weight and muscle to enhance his back-up ability, mainly to overcome the Handcheck defense.

With He Li's height and shooting stability, Handcheck defense has little impact on his offense.

However, people keep touching him when he holds the ball, and his consumption will still be great.

Therefore, the Bucks advance with the ball, usually by Cassel.

He Li will only hold the ball in the top arc when the opponent has already defended and needs a positional battle.

In this game, Popeye Jones continued to exert defensive pressure on He Li, and after halftime, he began to guard against death.

Because it is the finals, the penalty scale is relatively large. As long as Popeye Jones' small moves don't turn into big moves, the referee will basically not blow them.

Under this degree of influence, He Li can only reduce his shots as much as possible, and help his teammates create shooting space by holding the ball to attract defense.

Logically speaking, as long as He Li is on the court, he will have a great impact on the team's offensive end.

But sometimes, opportunities are created, and teammates can't make the ball in the basket, so there's no way.

When the score is behind, He Li wants to stand up and throw the ball to recover the score. He will also encounter poor hand feeling, the ball misses the bullet and comes out, and the Mavericks take advantage of the victory to chase and fight back.

17 to 24, with more than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Bucks coach George Karl called a timeout first.

After the players left the field, George Karl confessed: "Actually, I didn't think about what tactics to arrange.

You all played well, but we just happened to run into a little trouble.

I'm sure you can find a strategy to deal with this trouble, but maybe we can do something different right now. "

There are many ways to solve the problem at hand, and the Bucks can even give up this game.

In the end, what to do, the head coach George Karl actually played football and let the players make their own choices.

The starters looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Seeing this situation, He Li took the initiative to say: "I can go all out, and I can try to win this game.

But I think the significance of the finals is that everyone participates together to win this game, this round of the series.

I don't think that sometimes, any of us will be influenced by outside public opinion.

I also don't want to hear something like 'I won a championship with everyone. '

We all contributed to winning the championship.

And I was the biggest beneficiary, the finals MVP, right?

I've had enough, I don't want to claim the credit.

I just want to share success, share victory, and share honor with everyone.

That's what I think, and that's what I'm doing. "

No one in the Bucks can compete with He Li for the FMVP, so He Li can talk so much.

Everyone also knows in their hearts that He Li has the ability to play like last season's finals, but in fact He Li did not do so.

He Li has already done all this in the Eastern Conference Finals. He Li is just leading everyone how to win in a friendly and approachable way as the team leader.

It can be that they are not He Li, they don't have to worry about anything like He Li.

On the contrary, they participated in the finals and played for the Bucks, and they were more or less under pressure and concerns.

What pressure, what worries?The Bucks won the finals too easily and achieved a second consecutive championship.

This may sound like a joke, but it is what it is.

The Bucks have four All-Stars, and the All-Stars are worth tens of millions these years.

To be honest, if it is a normal All-Star, the Bucks can't afford it.

In the past two years, the Bucks can afford it, mainly due to the rookie bonus.

But soon the bonus will be gone. After the championship is won, there may be at most two of the four All-Stars left.

Starting from the All-Star Game, the entire United States has been building momentum, saying that the upcoming draft will be an unprecedented year. With Jordan's retirement, another batch of talents will be born.

The Bucks are likely to clear the team's big contracts in advance because He Li's rookie contract is about to expire.

And the player with a big contract happens to be an All-Star, a member of the championship, and the transaction value is extremely high.

Is it a problem to use the current All-Stars and championship members to trade the picks for the next draft year?
After all, no one can guarantee that the traded pick will be selected by a rookie of Kobe's level.

But even so, is it a loss to be able to trade to an All-Star who is at his peak, a core player with championship experience, just a comeback draft pick and some additions?
No, even if the Bucks really select Kobe-level rookies who can become superstars in the future, it can only be said to be a win-win situation.

If the Bucks don't win the draft, it will be a blood profit for the team that sent the draft pick.

But for the Bucks' All-Stars, they don't want to be traded away from the Bucks.

How great would it be if he could stay in the Bucks and try to build a dynasty with three consecutive championships?

Witnessed with my own eyes, the second-round pick Reed played from He Li.

Kwame Brown has changed from the No. [-] pick in parallel imports to an inside star seedling who averaged close to scoring and rebounding double-doubles per game.

At the end of the first round, Boozer also showed good offensive talent.

In addition to the upcoming offseason and the contribution of veterans in the next season, it is actually a bit difficult for the Bucks to not win the championship under the leadership of He Li.

It is precisely because of this that the Bucks management has to clean up the salary space and show the greatest sincerity to keep He Li.

Well, after the Bucks win the championship this season, the fate of these All-Stars is basically doomed.

It is not a loss for the Bucks to exchange their combat power for the future.

On the one hand, the salary space has been cleared to make preparations for He Li to stay. On the other hand, even if He Li wants to switch to other teams after the end of the contract, it is possible to draw the next He Li.

It is said that Jordan retired for the first time, Big Dog, Kidd, Hill, Eddie Jones, Juwan Howard, Jaylen Rose, Donyell Marshall, Brian Grant, Wesley Person, the young draft year, it looks good now.

Not to mention Jordan's first return, the 96 golden generation.

When Jordan retired for the second time, Mike Bibby, Jamison, Lavlenz, Carter, White Chocolate, Larry Hughes, Nowitzki, Pierce, Bunch Wells, Matt Harprin, Ricky Davis, Tyronn Lue, Harremp, Lewis, Alston, and the old cat Mobley, the success rate was quite impressive.

Even though Jordan made a comeback not long ago, Kwame Brown looked unsatisfactory this time, but in fact, some people gradually played it. Who can be sure that Jordan's retirement and comeback will have little impact on the draft?

Therefore, according to past experience, it can be judged that in the next draft, at least the high-ranking lottery has a high chance of winning.

If the Bucks can easily win this finals, it is possible that all three All-Stars except He Li will be traded for high picks.

Besides, the Bucks already have two first-round picks this year, one of which is the Sonics who didn't make the playoffs.

Next, the No. 13 pick in the first round of the draft, and the Bucks' own first-round pick is the 27th pick in the first round.

The two first-round picks can be traded together, and it is even possible to trade to the first-round picks 8, 9, and 10.

And the Bucks' three All-Stars can also be traded to a fairly high first-round pick.

If the Bucks really hold four lottery picks, the possibility of losing all of them is very small.

Even if He Li really runs away two years later, the Bucks will rely on the core players selected in this year's draft and sign one or two All-Stars with big contracts at that time.

For an All-Star who has been in the league for many years and has become a championship, this kind of thing is not unthinkable.

Even if they can't think of it, the agent behind them will give them some reminders.

It is this kind of consideration, and it is this kind of pressure that prompts them to lose the finals game and add some concerns to the team, thereby stabilizing their position.

The Bucks are under pressure to clear their salary. Although it seems urgent, they can actually wait another year.

If many sweep the Mavericks this year to win the championship, they will win the championship 4-2, or even 4-3.

So in order to successfully defend the championship, in order to achieve an incredible three consecutive championships, and create a dynasty of great achievements, the Bucks management had to keep the original championship team.

Sometimes stability is more important than anything else.

But now, He Li used another method to break some things ahead of time.

He Li found that they did not show their real strength and attitude.

They knew very well that what He Li said was that he didn't show his real strength, and the reason was because of everyone.

But in fact, He Li was talking about them, and He Li said that they did not consider everyone's interests because of their selfishness.

He Li even threatened that if you can't work hard, then I will go all out to win the game.

At that time, there is no way to continue to share the honor and victory with everyone, so He Li can't be blamed.

"It turns out that He Li knows everything!"
