Chapter 276 Let He Li let go?Regular season 60+?

"The Lakers' defense was tough! Kobe blocked Michael's (Reid) shot again.

After owning Gilbert, Kobe doesn't need to put most of his energy on the offensive end!
Kobe can provide great contributions to the Lakers on the defensive end! "

"The Lakers fast break, Gilbert made an emergency stop outside the three-point line and made a three-point shot. Incredible shooting speed, incredible range, and incredible accuracy!"

"For what it's worth, even with Gilbert hitting the 5, the Lakers are still [-] behind!
He Li is really too strong. In the first quarter, the Bucks relied on He Li's 9-for-8 shooting with 21 points and incredible offensive efficiency. They have always maintained a considerable advantage.

Although the Bucks' strategy is to let He Li let go.

But next, the Bucks need more people to stand up and score, why force to share the scoring pressure.

After all, He Li is very accurate, but it is impossible to be so accurate all the time.He Li needs rest, He Li needs teammates! "

Three-quarters of the first quarter had passed, and the score was 25-30. Under the leadership of He Li, the Bucks took a 5-point lead.

Logically speaking, the Bucks should be very stable in this game, but when you think about it carefully, He Li scored 9 points on 8 of 21 shots in a single quarter, and the Bucks only took a 5-point lead. This makes people wonder what to do!

"All teammates are CBA?"

The Bucks have Reed, the last All-Star, and Payton and Karl Malone, two top [-] superstars. At least these three are NBA-level players.

But why can't the Bucks get more points?
Obviously He Li did not dominate the ball and did not rely on nearly 20 shots to score points. Why are He Li's other teammates so inefficient? Why can't they put the ball into the basket?
That's because the Lakers' defensive strategy against the Bucks today is very different from the past.

Perhaps the defensive strategy for He Li is the same. In the past, the Lakers defended He Li mainly on single defense.

But this time, it was no longer Kobe who defended He Li for the Lakers, and Garnett no longer paid attention to assisting He Li.

The Lakers seemed to be breaking the can, using the rookie Josh Howard, who was just selected this year, to defend and interfere with He Li's shooting.

Josh Howard is a swingman with amazing wingspan and movement speed.

Although defending He Li lacks game experience, it is still possible to consume He Li's physical strength with dog skin plaster defense.

However, the final effect can only be to consume He Li's physical strength.

He Li made 9 of 8 shots on Josh Howard's head, which is enough to prove that Josh Howard's defense of He Li does not have much substantial effect.

However, the Bucks locked Reid and Payton with Kobe, and Karl Malone and Kwame Brown with Garnett.

The only stable scoring point for the Bucks in the first quarter was He Li.

He Li is actually relatively easy to attack at this point, and he is relatively a rookie swingman who is a quarter shorter than him.

However, it was also because of the interference of Josh Howard's long arm. After He Li took control of the ball, he couldn't pass the ball well and connect the entire team.

Under the arrangement of the Zen master, the Lakers seemed to weave a spider web on the court.

Although He Li played brilliantly and had the upper hand for a while, the rest of the Bucks played poorly and even struggled. It seemed that they were about to be eaten away by the Lakers.

At that time, the Bucks will only have He Li to resist the Lakers' aggression, so I am afraid that He Li will not be able to let go and defeat the Lakers by himself.

He Li himself knew that even if he broke the thermos, it would be difficult for him to score 81 points in a single game like Kobe.

After all, people are not machines, and every shot will consume a lot of energy.

He Li's efficient state, even if he can continue the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, it is very likely that he will suddenly pull his hips.

Therefore, He Li must pass the ball out, cooperate with tactics, help other teammates score, let them return to the original offensive system of the Bucks, let them enjoy the thrill of the game, instead of being extremely painful by the Lakers.

"Gilbert missed a three-pointer, and the Bucks had a chance to counterattack! Michael received a pass from the glove Payton, rushed to the basket and dunked!"

With the opportunity of a transition, Reed finally broke the long-term scoring drought in the middle, and after the first quarter, he also scored 7 points.

But in the next round, the Lakers passed the ball to Garnett within a limited time of 8.2 seconds.

Garnett threw the ball firmly into the basket with an iron-blooded jumper that He Li was very familiar with.

The Lakers not only recovered 2 points at the end of the first quarter, but also narrowed the difference between the two teams to 4 points.

In the second quarter, the Lakers have the right to attack the ball first. If the Lakers can score the first attack, the difference between the two teams will be reduced to less than 2 points.

Next, as long as the Bucks miss a goal, it is very likely that they will be overtaken by the Lakers.

This may greatly damage the morale of the Bucks as a whole.

Therefore, in the second quarter of the original plan to practice the rookies, the Bucks had to wait in full force, with full firepower.

He Li and Karl Malone brought Boozer and two shooters back on the field, while Kobe and Garnett continued on the Lakers side.

On the contrary, Arenas, the Lakers' main scoring point in the first quarter, was left off the court to rest for a period of time.

It seems that the Lakers deliberately staggered the time when Arenas and He Li were on the court at the same time, so as to ensure that Arenas' outside shooting would not be interfered by He Li.

Although Arenas now has the ball in the Lakers and shoots very well, his basket has not yet been developed to the extreme.

If there is no way to get rid of Payton's defense in the first place, He Li and Payton around him will be completely blocked.

In He Li's memory, after retiring, Arenas used to brag on the show. When he just debuted, he beat Payton in matchups, so he questioned the offense and defense in the 90s.

In fact, if you look up the records of Arenas and Payton, you will find that the rookie Arenas was unilaterally ordered by Payton.

Even if Payton ran to the Celtics and the Heat at the end of his career to win the championship, he could limit Arenas' shooting rate.

It's just the number of stacked shots of Arenas that makes the data appear to be more advantageous.

There is still fuel in Payton's fuel tank now, but Arenas has a chance to get rid of Payton by relying on his moving speed to create room for shots.

But if He Li is present, it will be different.

Arenas was okay with Payton, but when He Li stepped forward and pressed him, he was completely gone.

Compared with other guards, Arenas is still short on breakthroughs and relies more on shooting. However, when he meets He Li, he has nothing to do when he gets close.

Even if you make a quick shot, you may be blocked and fly away.

Therefore, Zen master is still very wise, staggering the playing time of Arenas and He Li.

However, the Lakers lacked Arenas in the second quarter, relying on Kobe and Garnett who supported the defensive system to attack, it was a bit of a loss.

It still makes sense for George Karl to field two pitchers.

In the first save, Howard has already received three fouls on He Li.

Without the interference of Josh Howard, He Li has the same shooting space, but the passing aspect is too wide, and there are many choices.

The Bucks' two shooters stand at 45-degree angles to the left and right. If Boozer actively points to a high position to support it, no matter how the Lakers choose, there may be defensive loopholes.

While Kobe and Garnett continue to provide firepower for the Lakers, the Bucks' defense is indeed slightly worse, but they still have more advantages on the offensive end.

After 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Bucks took an 8-point lead under the leadership of He Li.

But He Li consumed a lot in this game. George Karl called a timeout in advance to let He Li take a break, and replaced Payton and Reed.

By the way, let Wade play. Wade has come over the past few games. Although his shooting is not stable, he does have two brushes when he breaks through the basket and scores.

Sometimes it is passed to the inside and let Boozer and Kwame Brown play, it is better to pass the ball to Wade who runs from the bottom corner and cuts to the basket.

However, when the Bucks called a timeout, the Lakers replaced Arenas and Garnett first.

In Zen Master's view, the current lineup of the Bucks still focuses on shooting, so after Karl Malone is off the court, Garnett, who is good at assisting defense, can go down and rest for a while.

Why don't you want the Bucks to play three guards in order to create space and opportunities for breakthroughs.

Both Wade and Reid can break through. Relying on Payton's organizational ability, the Bucks quickly passed the ball, and then relied on the Lakers' defensive opportunity to steal chickens and score by cutting to the basket.

"After He Li left the field, the Bucks' offensive rhythm seems to have become faster!"

"Dwyane is not useless except for being good at blacksmithing."

"I thought the Lakers would bring us huge pressure, but this is it?"

After watching He Li go off the field, the Bucks further expanded their score advantage. The Bucks' bench substitutes felt the same way, and they talked about it with pride.

But soon, almost 2 minutes later, Garnett played again.

George Karl felt that Payton, Reed, and Wade cooperated well, and that Boozer and Kwame Brown could also make stable contributions, so he decided to let He Li and Karl Malone rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Garnett got on, Reed and Wade went up and wrestled.

Because there was no whistle to help, the Bucks suffered a lot, and were beaten by the Lakers in an 8-2 spurt.

At this time, George Karl was a bit of a fan of the authorities and failed to immediately call for a timeout for substitutions.

It was not until the Bucks' chief assistant coach Terry Stotts reminded him that George Karl realized that it was indeed time to call a timeout.

After the timeout, He Li and Karl Malone reappeared.

Seeing this posture, the Lakers dare not underestimate them. Kobe and Garnett didn't take much rest. They continued to play and went all out to win the game.

Perhaps because of physical strength, the shooting percentages of both teams in the second quarter dropped to a considerable extent.

Even He Li was not as accurate as the first quarter.

However, the Bucks made 8 of 4 shots in the second quarter, 3 of 1 three-pointers, and 3 of 2 free throws. Under the leadership of He Li, who scored 11 points, the Bucks still maintained this 6-point advantage and entered the third quarter.

"He Li is indeed very strong, but our team is even stronger!
The Bucks are now able to fight only one person, and that is He Li!

But what we can fight is everyone!We must win this game! "

During the intermission, one of the Lakers coaching staff ran out to beat everyone up.

Judging from this posture, he might still be a disciple of Rivers.

To be reasonable, under normal circumstances, the depth of the Bucks' bench is much stronger than that of the Lakers.

However, the Bucks do not have the idea of ​​using veterans too much in the regular season.

The Bucks are not limited to winning one game, but hope to use the difficult regular season games to hone the rookies, so that the rookies have more room for growth and complete the transformation as soon as possible.

This game, which suddenly has the intensity of the playoffs, is the most suitable occasion and moment for rookies like Wade to sharpen and evolve.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the starters of both sides came on the field together, but the Bucks came a little bit, removed Payton and replaced Wade.

When everyone's physical strength was not good, the Bucks started running and bombing again.

Among them, Karl Malone will be a little uncomfortable, but if he only plays for a while at the beginning of the third quarter, Karl Malone can still keep up.

And when the Bucks determined that the Lakers were shooting and focusing on other players, they also used He Li as the end point for catching the ball.

He Li stands on the top arc, which is both the axis and the end point.

Next, the Bucks ran and bombed, and shot when there was space, or made a breakthrough.

If everyone feels unsure, they can pass the ball to He Li again, and let He Li deal with the tricky throw.

Everyone in the Bucks knows that He Li has the ability to deal with the dumping ball in a short time!

Especially in this game, the Lakers' defensive attitude towards He Li was not that tough.

More is to cut off He Li's connection with other Bucks teammates.

However, the fact that He Li is not good at passing the ball does not mean that other people cannot pass the ball to He Li.

He Li catches the ball from the outside, unless the Lakers also pull a power forward, there is no way to interfere with He Li's reception.

"Scored again, I can't tell how many times this is. He Li caught the ball with his long hands. Then with his amazing shooting ability, he scored the ball!"

"That's right, it's very difficult for outside players to interfere with He Li receiving the ball by defending around the front, and He Li can also score the ball in different ways."

"But the problem is, the Bucks players are too dependent on He Li.

Once they feel that the phone will not be very good, or the defensive players put too much pressure on them.

They didn't dare to make a shot and chose to pass the ball to He Li.

Although He Li has the ability to handle such a ball!But it is impossible for He Li to throw all the balls of a team.

Again, the Bucks need other players to stand up! "

In the third quarter, because He Li received a lot of pot shots, the number of shots went up again.

While scoring, He Li also hit a lot of iron.

By the end of the third quarter, He Li, who made 17 of 12 shots in the first half, had made 29 shots in total.
Although there were still 12 of 6 shots in the third quarter, it seemed that the shooting rate had not declined, but the scoring efficiency had dropped a lot.

Because of too many shots, He Li's fingers were a little tense, and his touch and shooting rate outside the three-point line dropped a lot, so he could only rely on the sky hook to show his power in COSCO shots.

And the Lakers knew the power of He Li's distance skyhook, so they didn't just come up to send a foul.

Without free throw opportunities, He Li's scoring efficiency has naturally dropped further.

Fortunately, He Li scored 15 points in the third quarter.

In this way, He Li has scored 47 points after three quarters.

If things go on like this, logically speaking, it should not be difficult for He Li to score another 11 shots in the fourth quarter and get another 13 points.

This game will most likely become the first time He Li scored 60+ points in the regular season.

"Will tonight be record night?" Obviously, the live commentary also noticed this.
