Chapter 287 Penny and Single Joe!Return of the gods!
"Welcome, welcome, it's finally time for you two. On behalf of the Bucks, I welcome you to join us!"

At the end of the All-Star weekend, when He Li returned to Milwaukee, Penny Hardaway and Joe Johnson had already appeared in the training hall of the Bradley Center.

When He Li stepped forward to show his enthusiasm and sincerity, Penny Hardaway and Joe Johnson were undergoing a physical examination.

Usually players who arrive on the team after the transaction is completed have to go through this process.

After the coaching staff obtains the specific physical measurement data of the players, they can arrange the players' positions in the team lineup and tactics in a more detailed and appropriate manner, so that the players can better integrate into the team, bring more help to the team, and make greater contributions.

"Young boss, I will entrust you to take care of him from now on! Haha!" Penny said with a smile after seeing He Li.

Then he said: "Don't worry, I don't have any emotions when I come to the Bucks.

I just feel that at my age and my career, it's time for a successful conclusion.

This time, I also hope to use your strength and everyone's strength to help me realize this dream.

I am willing to give my all in the process of making my dream come true!He Li, boss! "

In the early years, Penny Hardaway seemed to be a modest gentleman, but in fact he had a temper.

High school student Kobe asked Penny for his autograph, but Penny dismissed it and ignored it.

Before the serious injury, even the team boss O'Neill was not convinced.

It was Pence's temper that caused the Magic management to drive away O'Neal.

But now, Penny has experienced the hot and cold world, and knows how difficult it is to stay in a championship team.

While the championship was getting farther and farther away from him, Penny also restrained his old temper, became humble, restrained, aware of gains and losses, and knew how to advance and retreat.

Now that he just came to the Bucks, after meeting He Li, Penny took the initiative to offer his loyalty to He Li.

Whether it was true or not, He Li's first impression of Penny was good.

Now that Payton is injured and absent from the game, the arrival of Penny really makes He Li breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, trading Joe Johnson is also a pretty good improvement to the Bucks lineup.

Although Wade broke through the rookie wall, he was only a first-year rookie after all.

There is no need to consider other things. Just because Wade is a rookie and Joe Johnson is already a mature third-year player, the status of the two in the team will soon be distinguished.

He Li believes that George Karl will definitely let Joe Johnson play the starting lineup, and let Wade go to the bench for more experience.

However, in a short period of time, whether it is Penny or singles Joe, it will take a certain amount of time for the two to integrate into the Bucks' tactical system, and it will also cause some damage to the Bucks during the period.

Although these are labor pains, they really tortured the Bucks up and down.

A week passed quickly, during which the Bucks played four regular season games, with a final record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

Originally, the Bucks had a good momentum and were still in the first position in the East, but now they have dropped a position and have become the second team in the East.

Fortunately, after a week, George Karl gradually figured out how to use Penny and Single Joe.

Another video room meeting.

"Carl, I will put you in the second team next, I hope you can understand.

Our players are too young and we need veterans like you.

In the second team, use personal experience, abundant energy, and rich appeal to lead them to victory. "

George Karl still feels that Karl Malone should be transferred to the second team.

In fact, after Karl Malone joined the Bucks, George Karl has been unable to find a suitable plan to properly arrange Karl Malone.

In addition, the arrangement for Payton is relatively simple.

It is precisely because the true strength of the two core players has not been brought into play that the current Bucks rely more on He Li's strength to win the game.

Sometimes He Li does not perform well, and it is difficult to turn the game over.

Therefore, for George Karl, since he can't handle Payton and Karl Malone, he should completely liberate He Li's strength.

From George Karl's own standpoint, he has proved last season that He Li plus shooters and running and bombing tactics can win the championship.

So why don't the Bucks continue to do this this season?

You know, He Li in the third grade is stronger than He Li in the second grade, there is no doubt about it.

After nearly forty games, George Karl can clearly feel that He Li's shooting can become stronger and more stable.

Judging from the data, this is indeed the case. He Li's scoring and efficiency are all better than last season.

Even if He Li had to do more things on the court, such as defense, He Li's rebound and assist data did not drop.

Even high-level data is one of the best in the league.

Now He Li's performance in the regular season has become more and more like No.1 in the league.

That being the case, George Karl also hopes to come up with running and bombing tactics again!

There is no doubt that He Li is very suitable for running and gunning, and the Bucks' lineup is also very suitable for running and gunning.

With the blessing of running and bombing tactics, the Bucks not only enjoy the more comfortable shooting space brought by He Li's offensive threat, but He Li himself can also get various aspects of growth.

The Bucks under running and bombing can be described in one sentence, that is-when He Li scores 40 points in a game, the Bucks are unlikely to lose.

He Li has an efficient scoring efficiency and a powerful scoring threat to create a more comfortable offensive link for other teammates.

He Li and his teammates help each other, and the Bucks will increase in pairs, and the more they fight, the more courageous they will be.

The Bucks' opponents will be hit by the Bucks' sudden outburst, which will instantly destroy their morale, and then they will be unable to resist the Bucks' attack, allowing the Bucks to win the game more easily.

But having said that, if the Bucks want to run away, then the existence of Karl Malone is a bit out of place.

Karl Malone does have fuel, no matter how bad he is, he has the level of the third leader of the championship team.

But if Karl Malone is still kept in the Bucks' starting lineup, then the Bucks' outside players will be affected.

On the other hand, if Karl Malone is removed, the Bucks' overall offense will be much smoother.

It is possible to overwhelm an opponent by attacking alone.

And after Karl Malone is placed in the second team, He Li doesn't need to spend too much effort bringing substitute players.

Then, He Li can better achieve the desired effect at the critical moment.

Sometimes, Karl Malone can also rely on experience and strength to deal with the core players of other teams and exchange them for the core players of other teams.

At that time, it will be easier for He Li to go up and lead the team to close the game.

"Joe, just having a long shot is not enough, let's practice more three-pointers! I believe you can do it." After dealing with Karl Malone, George Karl also emphasized the point of singles Joe.

Now singles Joe is still young, he can break through, float, and dunk, but his mid-range shot is average and his skills are average.

It has not yet reached the point where he can play singles at critical moments in the future and have the demeanor of "contemporary Jordan".

However, Joe already has a long shot in singles, which still makes George Karl feel very relieved.

In the run-and-gun tactics, the Bucks need a single player who can shoot from a long distance to help the team open up space.

But after all, two-pointers are one point less than three-pointers. George Karl can't ask single-player Joe to improve his offensive efficiency in a short period of time.

"Coach George, don't worry, I'm already practicing three-pointers!" Singles Joe replied seriously.

In fact, after singles Joe came to the Bucks, he did work hard to practice three-pointers, but it was not enough to get it on the field.

Therefore, the long shots Joe used in the singles game were still two points long, instead of direct three-pointers.

Now that Joe's three-pointer in the next singles can be as accurate as two points longer, then the Bucks will have a better chance of winning the game by attacking.

"By the way, there is another good news to tell you! Gary, you will be back soon!"
