Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 114 Xiao Hua's Vision

The X factor, the unknown.

The NBA playoffs are undoubtedly a contest between leading stars.

Every team has its own core, and those who can become the core must have abilities that other players do not have. Generally, guys with this ability are no longer targeted by ordinary defenses.

Therefore, with the improvement of defensive strength in the playoffs, many open spaces will no longer appear, and many opportunities for easy scoring will no longer exist.

In this case, the key to whether the team can win depends on the performance of the head star.

This is why many experts have repeatedly emphasized that stars are the key to the playoffs; it is also why many civilian teams can still make waves in the regular season, but they will directly wither in the playoffs.

It's just that the good things about the playoffs don't stop there.

The game between the head coaches, the tacit understanding between the teams, etc. are also very interesting in all aspects of the competition, and so on.

Of course, the existence of the x factor is also a good place for the playoffs.

No one knows whether a certain player will suddenly become a key factor in the team's reversal at some point.

It is the curiosity brought about by this unknown, and when this unknown really happens—Where Amazing Happens!

Just like the NBA slogan!
Tyronn Lue in 01, JR Smith in 15, and Danny Green in 13, they looked like ordinary main players or even role players in the regular season, but they once became the protagonists in the playoffs.

The shock brought by that kind of little person is no less than the game itself.

For example, Danny Green, if it weren't for Ray Allen's sky-defying three-pointer, I am afraid that the fmvp of that year would have been his.

In that year, Danny Green's annual salary was only about 400 million...

This is the big bang performance of the x factor on the stage of the playoffs. There are various ways to detonate, but as long as it is detonated, it will definitely change the situation of the game.

Tonight, in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, in the first half between the Bucks and the Magic, Desmond Mason became such an existence, using his breakthrough in the second quarter to greatly affect Van Gundy's formation Formation, and even led the team to equalize the lagging score.

"Wow, Desmond, you saved today's game, that's amazing!"

"A few more of them in the second half, I believe you!"

"Hahaha, that's great, Desmond, now the Magic should worry about you!"

In the visiting team's locker room, the Bucks players praised Mason one after another, which made him feel inexplicably shy who usually could only eat farts behind Michael Reid and Yi Jianlian.

"Okay, let's celebrate after winning. If they still target Mo Genyi in the second half, Desmond, you should still follow the style of play in the second quarter. If they don't defend so much, you should give more to Michael and Mo Gengyi." Make a screen, Yi you will do more breakthroughs with the ball next!"

At the end of the second quarter, the Bucks' outside shooting space has been much larger, but it is still not what Little K expected. Therefore, Little K still asked Yi Jianlian to make more breakthroughs and let the Magic's defense shrink further. Only in this way , Mo Williams and Michael Reid can really shoot!

***
The second half of the game begins.

The Bucks took the lead.

Mo Williams took the ball to the front court, and Nelson Jr. did not come up to defend himself, which made him relieved. It seemed that Van Gundy would not use the previous defensive tactics again.

Yi Jianlian made a pick-and-roll for Mo Williams. After getting rid of Nelson Jr., the latter made a direct mid-range shot against Lewis.

59-57!

The first goal was scored, and the Bucks started the second half quite smoothly.

The Magic also quickly returned one in the next round. Nelson and Howard's pick-and-roll cooperation also made a mid-range jumper.

The point difference returned to the same starting line again.

Yi Jianlian played one by himself. The Magic had no double-teams or help defense. Lewis couldn't stop him at all, and he dunked easily.

"This is……"

Little K can see that the Magic's defense is very lax, not like their defensive strength in the first half.

"Shh!"

Lewis caught the ball and hit a three-pointer at this time, leading the point difference by 1 point.

"Is this a focus on the offensive end?"

Little K didn't quite understand it yet, but soon the Magic team told him with faster and faster attack speed, you guessed it!

The defense in the first half was a struggle. Van Gundy simply stopped spending a lot of trouble on the defensive end and just man-marked. Can you guard it casually? Anyway, you can't guard us!
There was a sudden mutual confrontation, and the attacks on both sides were very smooth and coherent, and the scene suddenly looked a lot better...

***
"If NBA games are like this in the future, maybe the audience will like it very much?"

In the league president's office, Stern and his assistant Xiao Hua are also paying attention to this game-David Stern must be most concerned about his Chinese market, Yi Jianlian's first playoff game in his career, he is not Probably not.

As his assistant, Xiao Hua focused on other aspects.

"If we can strictly enforce the penalty scale and protect the impact of outside players, I think maybe the scene will be even more different!"

"Like wwe, although we can't control the direction of the game, we can let players show more things, think about it, if a big man can shoot from outside the three-point line, or hit the basket with the ball, OMG , there must be such an exclamation, right?"

His proposal caught Stern's attention. He turned his head and glanced at the young man brought out by himself, thought for a while, and said: "The essence of the NBA is still basketball. You can't blindly pursue the good looks on the scene. And ignore other factors!"

"But only if the game is good-looking is the guarantee of ratings!" Xiao Hua couldn't understand, "If the NBA regular season can be like the All-Star Game, every player on the court will be well-known, and at the same time If it plays well, are you afraid that no one will watch it?"

"Hehe, if you really want to say it like you, every player in the league is like a star, and if a star can be called a superstar, then who can respect the history of the NBA?"

"Although we have a star-making plan, after so many years of experiments, don't you still understand? The real star is not what we can create. The focus on the basketball court needs to be won by ourselves. We just blindly reduce the defensive strength. Maybe every player looks like a star, but the game may change!"

After Stern finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Hua. The latter seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

***
In the last 3 minutes of the third quarter, Stan Van Gundy showed his sophistication as the head coach of Parklei.

The sudden increase in defensive intensity caught the Bucks players, who were still in a state of mutual explosion just now, a little unprepared, and failed to score several consecutive offenses.

Yi Jianlian only played more than 7 minutes in the third quarter, and he still didn't have a good scoring performance. Even during the time when the two teams faced each other, except for the first goal, the Magic would rather put an open position at other times. Forcing him to stop the ball.

At the beginning, Yi Jianlian played tricks and passed the ball to open spots, but the first few shots in those open spots were still able to be scored, but as the pace of the game gradually accelerated, the rhythm of shooting was also greatly affected, and all open spots became "bang". Clang clang clanging sound.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bucks were 73 to 79, 6 points behind.

　During the winter solstice, everyone remember to eat dumplings...
