I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 340 All-Star MVP, re-entering the playoffs.

"I am satisfied with KD's situation, and KD is actively preparing for the next regular season."

"Cultivate rookies? That is inevitable! But we still have to pursue the record.

We are not allowed to withdraw from the championship competition sequence early in a healthy season.

There is no doubt that in the new season, our goal is still the championship! "

Before the start of the regular season opener, He Li accepted a pre-match interview with media reporters.

He Li did not disappoint the media reporters, and generously answered his views on Durant, and also expressed the Bucks' attitude towards the next new season.

Subsequently, Bucks coach George Di Carr also said: "I believe everyone who has watched the game knows how wonderful Kevin Durant's performance in the preseason game is.

Especially in the second preseason game, he scored 14 points efficiently on 8 of 27 shots. At that time, even I was scared by him.

I fully believe that he will get better and better in the regular season, and he can do the job that the team gives him.

Next, if he grows up to our expectations, I will arrange tactics for him. "

However, after setting a flag for Durant, Durant played poorly in the opening game.

The opponent of the Bucks in the regular season opener is the Cavaliers, a strong team in the Eastern Conference playoffs that has recently emerged.

As usual, the Big Three of the Bucks scored 74 points together, and the three scored in double figures. Among them, He Li and Wade both scored more than 20 points, which is not bad.

However, in the end, the Bucks lost the Cavaliers by 3 points.

The main reason is that Durant is more iron, 12 of 3 shots, 7 of 1 three-pointers, no free throws, and only a poor 7 points.

With Durant digging a lot of holes and the Cavaliers' current lineup is not bad, James led the team to full fire in the fourth quarter.

He Li has no way to fill in the hole, of course, he is afraid of playing too hard, and there will be hidden dangers in his physical condition in the playoffs.

Therefore, He Li asked Wade to execute the last few attacks, in the name of cultivating Wade's ability to attack at critical moments.

Wade's performance was not bad, but still the same sentence, a big hole was dug ahead, and it couldn't be filled all at once.

And James has matured physically, protected by a superstar whistle, and his scoring efficiency is not bad at critical moments. The Cavaliers finally won the game.

After losing the first game, the Bucks will play a little more seriously.

The plan to train Durant, Brewer, and Gasol had to be slowed down, and let the Big Three lead the team to win a few more games first.

When the situation becomes clear and some teams start to play badly, then the Durant trio will have more playing time.

It is worth mentioning that next year's draft may be a draft year.

This is expected. Just the three No. [-] high school students in the United States will make people have many fantasies about next year's draft.

Michael Beasley has a comprehensive offense and is proficient in individual singles. Unfortunately, he changes schools frequently. He was just named the No. [-] high school student in the United States, but he was automatically withdrawn from the list because of his game record.

Kevin Love once became the No. 07 high school student in the United States in [-], but was eventually overtaken by OJ Mayo.

Although the NCAA has not yet started, but next year's draft will give people the feeling that James, O'Neal, and Kobe will participate in the draft together.

For the possibility of a big draft year, some teams that can't achieve results for the time being, will play badly early to fight for high draft picks.

It is also because of this that the Bucks don't have to be as difficult as the previous few seasons. They will come up to force a wave of any teams that are on the verge of the playoffs.

The Bucks have the strength to meet the fish belly team with stable abuse. When the game is firmly won, the Big Three can also end at halftime, or choose to take turns.

And Durant and the three can just hone with stinky fish and rotten shrimp, which will not affect the team's record. They can also cultivate self-confidence from lower-level games and absorb the nutrients needed for growth so that they can adapt to NBA games faster.

It is said that the Bucks are proceeding step by step for the regular season, but because of a bad year and the introduction of other teams' vision, the targeting and difficulties encountered this season are obviously not as many as before.

The Lakers are also a lineup of the Big Three, and they have just won the championship and are gaining momentum.

The Staples Center is also a well-known Vanity Fair in the league. More teams and stars are riveting to beat the Lakers, rather than thinking about the sparsely populated Milwaukee.

Soon, the first month of competition ended, and the Bucks started with 10 wins and 4 losses, which is not bad.

At least last season, the league was at the bottom, and this season started with the fourth team in the East, and the playoffs are expected.

And this is the Bucks' plan to train rookies. If the main players and veterans are completely rotated to play, it is normal for the Bucks to win two more games.

It is also because the start is not bad, and Durant, Brewer and Gasol are gradually adapting to the rhythm of the NBA game, the Bucks have a new round of plans.

Because Durant is facing the critical period of the rookie wall, the team needs to give him more balls to put him under some offensive and defensive pressure.

Only when you are pushed to the limit, will you break through the wall and emerge a more powerful and comprehensive star.

Therefore, the next record of the Bucks may fluctuate again.

Fortunately, after He Li played the pick-and-roll with Durant, Durant is not limited to playing off the ball and doing a good job of defense.

Durant increased the number of times he broke through and attacked the basket, and strengthened physical confrontation in the game. Although the scoring efficiency has declined, the overall scoring level and competitive state are gradually improving.

By the end of December, Durant's physical strength has officially reached a critical point.

The performance in the last few games has been unstable and even sluggish, which convinced the Bucks management and coaching staff that Durant is indeed about to encounter the rookie wall.

At the beginning of January, Durant finally fell into a downturn completely, shooting about 1% of his shots in a row, scoring in double figures.

But with the help of He Li and others, Durant finally broke the rookie wall in just one week, increasing his shooting percentage to over 35%, averaging 11 shots per game and scoring 10.8 points.

Although he has not met the team's expectations for him, everything is easy to say when he breaks the rookie wall. The rest is to train hard and improve steadily.

Durant's shooting is unstable now, mainly because his body is too thin, and there are also physical problems.

Because the Bucks also gave him the job of defending well. After a few confrontations, the shooting will not work. Even if he shoots next to He Li, the efficiency is not very high.

But this is only Durant's first year. The Bucks don't need him to do too much. As long as the basic requirements are met, there will be nothing wrong.

What the Bucks need to pay attention to this season is that the Big Three are still the main players, and they will re-enter the playoffs and win the championship.

But before that, the Bucks first harvested some pre-dinner desserts in the All-Star Game.

Because of the good record in the first half of the regular season, the Bucks ranked third in the East before the All-Star Game weekend.

In previous years, due to the rapid improvement of the team's record, the core players in the team are expected to enter the All-Star Game.

It is inevitable for He Li to enter the All-Star Game, and Wade also relies on his style of play to attract fans, coupled with the support of Chinese fans, he became the starting All-Star guard in the Eastern Conference.

Boozer was a bit lucky.

This year, the West has guards and the East has forwards.

The Eastern Conference has almost eleven or twelve forward players at the All-Star level.

In this case, Boozer, as the third head of the Bucks, can also enter the All-Star Game as an All-Star backup forward.

I have to say that Boozer is a bit lucky to enter the All-Star Game with He Li and Wade.

And the Big Three of the Bucks entered the All-Star Game together, so it is difficult for the Eastern All-Star team not to play with He Li as the main player.

After all, the three of He Li have a large number of people, and the other stars only meet a few times a season. Not only are they unfamiliar, but they may also be opponents.

Although the Bucks had a lot of hatred before, in fact, He Li did not have much conflict of interest with the Eastern All-Stars.

He Li's off-court income is mainly from endorsements, which does not overlap with other stars and has no competition.

To put it bluntly, He Li got a global endorsement contract, one or two levels higher than other NBA stars.

For other people, besides endorsement products in their hometown, if they want to earn more W, they need to grab resources openly and secretly.

This is also the main reason why no one held a group in the Jordan era.

Everyone is obviously not making enough money, and they are not only competing with each other on the court, but also off the court.

Everyone wished that other people would die cleanly, and let him earn the money.

But as player contracts get bigger and dollars become less and less valuable, stars who no longer care about money can do more.

Having said that, He Li and the Eastern All-Star players are at most a playoff competition.

But the All-Star players who are eliminated by He Li, there are so many players every year, only seven or eight players!
Even if these people are excluded, a five-man team can still be made.

Besides, everyone doesn't have to live and die, so in the end He Li successfully led the Eastern All-Star team to defeat the Western All-Star team led by Kobe.

He Li won an All-Star MVP again, and received a relatively important honor in the middle of the season.

After the All-Star Game, the Bucks officially entered into the preparations for the playoffs.

Because Durant has broken through the rookie wall, Gasol Jr. has been watching for three years, and Brewer is more concerned about defense, and occasionally plays fast breaks to show his vitality, so the Bucks still use the main force to reap the game.

By the end of the regular season, the Bucks reached the second place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses, and successfully entered the playoffs with all members in a healthy state.

However, in order to prepare for the playoffs and the upcoming Olympics, this season He Li played more team and more healthy.

Although He Li's record of 2000 points in a single season has been renewed, the basic honors in the regular season have nothing to do with He Li.

He Li doesn't even have much hope of competing for the MVP, but the best team and best defensive team are still quite promising.

Of course, at this stage, He Li no longer needs to care about the honor of defending for a while.

As long as He Li wins another championship, FMVP, and Jordan's ass, the No.1 throne in the league will be given up to He Li.

After all, He Li is younger, and He Li still has a future.

Even Russell's presence didn't help.
