Chapter 293 He Li may create an era that belongs to him!
"Although the Pistons defeated the Pacers relatively easily, it seems that the Pistons are not enough to hinder the Bucks from making it to the Eastern Conference Finals."

"Yes, some people may think that it is too early for us to say that.

But the performance of the two teams in this game is obvious!
The gap between the Pistons and the Bucks may be greater than the gap between the Pacers and the Pistons. "

"Everyone knows the Pistons are a good defensive team.

The Bucks are a team that is good at offense.

Through the actual situation in the first two quarters of this game, we can already see that,

The Pistons' defense did not cause as much trouble to the Bucks' offense as we thought. "

"The key is that while the Bucks have a historical superstar like He Li, they also have many young and flexible breakthrough players!"

The on-site commentary began to analyze why the Pistons, which are known for their defense, did not have the desired effect when facing the Bucks.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the problem of space!
Playing in the NBA, whether it is offense or defense, space is crucial.

Some commentators emphasized: "Why did the Pistons' defensive system fail against the Bucks?

It is because He Li helped the upright team to open up the offensive space, and the Bucks' breakthrough players can break into the inside more freely.

They don't necessarily need the powerful breakthrough ability of Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, and Grant Hill.

But under the influence of He Li, they can achieve the effect that only superstars can achieve! "

"I would like to add that He Li not only took away the defensive players around him, but also attracted the attention of other players!
In this way, the Bucks' breakthrough players can better play open offense or misplaced offense.

When the Bucks' breakthrough players only need to solve their opponents one-on-one, the offense is much simpler.

This also means that the breakthrough player can take advantage of his own speed advantage, as long as he passes the perimeter defensive player at the beginning and reaches the basket, he can get whatever he wants.

Even if the speed is not dominant, you can immediately call your inside teammates to come over for pick-and-rolls.

As long as they have a high-quality screen, they can get to the basket, form a dislocation and attack the basket through small and big skills.

Put the ball into the basket more efficiently and in a more comfortable way. "

The commentary basically explained why the Bucks played very easily against the Pistons.

Other teams have a headache facing the Pistons' defense, mainly because the longest range they are sure of is only two points longer. Except for the Bucks, few teams can ensure a three-point shooting rate in the playoffs.

As for the Bucks, no matter how bad they are, there is still He Li. He Li's three-point accuracy in the playoffs has not declined, which is very important.

If the Pistons don't defend against He Li's three-pointers, then He Li can easily make more than a dozen three-pointers in a single game.

In this way, He Li feels a little better, and can score 20+ or ​​even 30+ with three-pointers alone.

You know, He Li's scoring methods are not limited to three-pointers, and He Li's average number of shots per game in the playoffs will not be less than 20 times.

So under such a defensive strategy, how many points can He Li finally score?40+ in a single game does not seem to be a dream, but it is very likely to be the norm!
Looking back at the Pistons scoring, usually around 80 points in a game.

Even if there are more rounds against the Bucks, and some rounds are easier to win by stealing chickens, so what about the final 90 points.

For the Bucks, He Li scored 20 points efficiently with more than 40 shots alone. The others had [-] or [-] ball possessions. It should not be difficult to score [-] or [-] points inefficiently, right?

Therefore, if the Pistons want to win the Bucks, it is very important to limit the performance of He Li, the Bucks' leader.

However, the Pistons focused their defense on He Li, and the players who were originally shrunk inside had to step out.

There is a three-second zone in the NBA, and it is easier for breakthrough players to rely on speed to get to the basket, and small hits can be big.

Because of He Li's shooting threat, the Pistons' outside defense became weaker, and the zone defense position was stretched even further.

In many cases, the zone defense can't be effective at all, and it is killed by guards such as Penny and Wade who are good at breakthroughs.

And George Karl put He Li and single-player Joe, these two shooting threats, on the court at the same time.

Even if Penny and Wade are unable to make a shot at the basket facing Daben's top defense, they can redistribute the ball and hand it over to He Li and Joe for singles.

As for He Li's rest, don't the Bucks still have Payton and Karl Malone?Give them some shooters and some blue-collar insiders, no matter how bad they are, they won't be quickly overtaken.

"It seems that we don't need to play against the Pistons!" Barkley said to Ewing.

They didn't play much in the regular season this season, usually only five or six minutes, and there were only twenty or thirty games with 6 minutes of playing time.

However, if they get another championship ring before retiring, they don't mind, and they will work harder in the playoffs.

After all, who can refuse an extra championship ring?

Originally, against a strong opponent like the Pistons, both Barkley and Ewing had been notified by George Karl before the game.

In the warm-up session before the game, the two have done the preparation work, as long as the team needs it, they can play at any time.

However, now it seems that there is no need.

"At first, the management traded away the three musketeers. I was still a little worried, but after trading so many teammates, I still have to admire the management's foresight."

The left and right are also idle, and Ewing began to talk about the previous transaction made by the Bucks management.

"I think the management is doing this in order to be healthier and have a better future to win the championship.

The core team of the Bucks is still young, especially He Li. He is young and vigorous, and his body is strong. Even if he reaches the playoffs for three consecutive years, there will be no physical problems.

But the three musketeers, they all have more or less potential injuries.

Having reached the playoffs for three consecutive years and played in the finals, I think they may have problems.

The same is true for Michael Reid. Although he is young, he suffered a serious injury when he first entered the league, which shows that he is not a particularly tough player.

The team traded them away. Although they traded a few veterans, they were exactly what the team needed.

Gary and Karl can rest for a long time during the offseason. As long as the regular season is not exhausted and they enter the playoffs, they can really enter the state and contribute to the team. "

"What you said is indeed reasonable. Now it seems that everything the management has done is reasonable!" Barkley nodded in agreement.

This season is the third season for He Li to enter the playoffs, but it is the sixth season for the Bucks.

Overcoming these, the three musketeers of the Bucks also changed from immature rookies to veterans.

And reaching the playoffs for six consecutive years, especially the last four years, has reached the point of the Eastern Conference Finals. For this group of veterans whose peak period is about to end, the physical load is quite heavy.

In particular, Big Dog and Cassel are not so self-disciplined, and even the self-disciplined Ray Allen has suffered injuries in the regular season, more than once.

But unfortunately, the lack of a star in the playoffs will affect the combat effectiveness.

Although Payton and Karl Malone have also entered the playoffs consecutively, they have been in the first round of the playoffs in the last two seasons. The offseason is longer and the body maintenance will be better.

And the veteran won the championship with his legs hugged. Although he is still the core on the bright side, he will be more obedient to the team's arrangements.

Unlike the original core players of the Bucks, if they can't make trouble, they can play a big name or something, and accidentally explode the internal conflicts of the team.

The offseason arrangement of the Bucks management can be said to be a wise move to prevent the passing of time.

During the draft and signings, there were indeed no major problems.

If there is any problem with the Bucks right now, it is that He Li must not have a problem.

Once He Li is injured, the Bucks may be over in an instant.

"He Li is too important!" Ewing suddenly sighed!
Barkley followed up: "Indeed, the value of He Li is immeasurable."

"But fortunately, even when He Li is competing for the scoring title in the regular season, his style of play is still very reasonable. He is very good at protecting himself, he is too smart! This is no longer our era, and He Li may create an era that belongs to him!"

Barkley came from the era of iron-blooded defense. In Barkley's dictionary, playing must be hard enough.

Unexpectedly, He Li, who looked tough at first, became softer and softer, but his influence on the court became greater and greater.

It's so unpredictable!
However, I have to admit that He Li is so big, it is really easy to use.

Now playing against the Pistons, He Li didn't play hard games, such as breaking through and attacking the basket, basically handed over to Wade and others.

He Li can create a threat by shooting and run to the bottom corner to attract the defense. Why not continue to do it?

The team can win, isn't it good?
