Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 510 Milwaukee Crazy Deer
After the Bucks defeated the Nets, the team's morale was boosted.

More importantly, they solved the problems that the team has been plagued by for a while, deep in trade rumors and conflicts in the locker room.

When Alice personally announced at the hotel party that the Bucks would have no players to trade in the future, all the players were extremely happy.

Lufen and Yi Jianlian had the best relationship. After the two happily met for dinner, they went to a nearby billiards club for a night of poking.

Charlie Bell covered his face and cried into tears. For others, this is just a job, but for him it is a necessity for survival. Now that survival has no worries, it is natural to work hard for the next job. When the contract is hard.

This is a bit of a feeling that the king treats me as a scholar of the country, and I will repay the gentleman of the country.

After finding out that Zhao Hao and Alice seemed to have finally finished chatting, Roy Aiwei walked up boldly and said directly: "Boss, I want to learn three points!"

Roy Ivey's three-point shooting percentage this season is only 30%. In fact, his three-point shooting percentage in his entire career is not high. Zhao Hao knows this very well.

It's just that as the first backup of the Bucks' shooting guard, the team has to bring him up every time Zhao Hao is off the court.

Roy Ivey's outside shooting rate, coupled with his lack of other offensive expertise, is often useless on the court, and has been emptied many times by opponents.

This is indeed the time when it is necessary to improve the outside line ability!
Of course, Zhao Hao also believes that since the team has confirmed that they will not make any big deals in the future, they must improve on the basis of the current lineup.

So it's not just Roy Ivey's three-pointer problem, the entire team needs to improve.

Especially the team's defense!

The Bucks once ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency this season. Later, because their tactical play was familiar to the entire league, and the Cavaliers' cooperation became more and more tacit, it has now dropped slightly to second place.

Although they are in second place, Zhao Hao and the Bucks are extremely confident that their offensive firepower will never be weaker than that of the Cavaliers.

Even in terms of scoring explosiveness, no team in the league can match them.

It's just that unlike the confidence in scoring, the Bucks' defense ranks at the bottom of the league!

The most obvious thing is the defense of the starting lineup and the bench lineup, which is a world of difference!

In the starting lineup, with Zhao Hao wiping his teammates on the outside and Yao Ming on the inside, they will naturally be able to intimidate everyone on the defensive end.

But after the substitute lineup came on the field, Ruffin was too old to be old, and his footwork was even more inflexible. Charlie Bell was a deterrent on the offensive end, but the biggest problem with being reduced to the bench or even without the ball to play was that he was not good at defense.

Needless to say, Roy Ivy, what to do, No. 1 meal.

On the contrary, Yi Jianlian, a rookie, has become the best defensive player on the bench, but even for him, neither his defensive experience nor his defensive habits can be considered excellent.

This is why the eyebrowless hero Charlie Villanueva is more suitable for the team's starter than the current Yi Jianlian.

"So, it's time for the team to improve their defense!"

Cole also agreed to Zhao Hao's proposal, but he is not good at training defense, and he was also very embarrassed about this problem. Zhao Hao took the initiative to take over this important task, and he will be responsible for all the team's defense!
Day two.

Bucks training facility.

"Ruffin keep up! You have to help defend this ball! You can't always focus on your opponent!"

"Charlie Bell, pay more attention! Ten thousand people poke at the outside line, and one step is easily passed. No matter how many points you can score, it is useless!"

"Mason, show your ability to fight seven girlfriends. There are many strong men in the league at the small forward position. If you get hit by someone and lose your defensive position? You have to hit back more fiercely! "

Throughout the morning, there was constant scolding in the training hall.

Charlie Bell and Ruffin were the most miserably scolded. Almost every time the two had huge loopholes on the defensive end, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they would be stabbed by tens of thousands of people on the defensive end.

Charlie Bell was scolded angrily, but he obediently followed suit on the court. He tried his best to defend every time, but it was always difficult to defend against Ramon Sessions.

"Your defense is like a bitch!" Zhao Hao couldn't help cursing.

This bitch also touched Charlie Bell's bottom line, and he cursed back: "The labor-management three-dimensional 191, 90, 30, labor-management is not a bitch."

Zhao Hao continued to scold: "Aren't you a bitch when defending? Even if you can't defend, you can't use your body to put pressure on your body?

Can you be tougher? "

Charlie Bell's head was covered in circles, I'm 30 very hard!

But upper body?
Isn't that something that those dirty teams who can't move people's bodies can do it!
Charlie Bell, who has never joined a strong team in his life, and has never even played in the playoffs, has played like a humble gentleman until now. If he directly enters the playoffs now, he is afraid that he will be given by his opponent. have eaten!

Zhao Hao is also very fortunate to have discovered such and such contradictions in the team before the playoffs!

"The upper body and the disabled body are two different things!

The upper body is more aggressive defensively, even using tough fouls to send opponents to the free throw line.

And the body of a disabled person is stepping, pulling people in the air, kicking eggs, punching, and stumbling."

Having said this, Zhao Hao also stared at all the teammates present.

"We are generally not allowed to use these useless moves on the court, but what if the opponent uses them?"

Ruffin raised his hand at the side, and said in a veteran style: "Look for the referee."

Zhao Hao chuckled and said: "Almost every one of those crippled actions just now can be judged as malicious injury and technical foul, but how many times have they been judged like this on the court?
This is still the case in the regular season, but in the playoffs, the contact between the bodies will be greater, and the referees' whistle-blowing scale will become more relaxed.

What's the use of going to the referee at this time? "

Yi Jianlian came to his senses and said, "Then take them to Lafite!"

Zhao Hao nodded, and continued: "Don't go to the referee at every turn, he fouled, he fouled.
If someone beats you, you have to find it yourself!

No matter how others beat you, you can beat you back! "

Charlie Bell and Ruffin on the side finally knew why Rasheed Wallace was smashed by Zhao Hao riding on him, and the reason why Bogut was kicked infinitely by him finally had the answer.

Made it myself!

Whoever dares to use his body to violate Zhao Hao, then he must be ready to be retaliated by the same or even worse.

Cole on the sidelines nodded frequently.

Although he had already discovered Zhao Hao's leadership for a team on the court last season, he didn't realize until now that he still underestimated Zhao Hao.

70.00% of the defensive end is hard work. Everyone knows this, but how many teams can do it?

The biggest reason is that defense consumes the most energy, and it is different from the intuitive display of offensive data. Your efforts may only be exchanged for a strike from the opponent, and there will be no steals and blocks in your own data.

It is the most appropriate to describe it in one sentence.

That's useless!

For these players at the end of the league, if they want to get a big contract or even the next job, the straightforward data on the offensive end is also the most worthwhile.

But now, Zhao Hao injected a personality called Iron Blood into the players on the field.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, I will fight back tenfold!
Cole can foresee that if all the players of the Bucks really have such a character and code of conduct, they will definitely be one of the teams least willing to face in the league.

Later, a shocking big melon appeared in the alliance.

The Spurs defeated the Cavaliers 112:106!

That was the most powerful Big Three Cavaliers this season, and they were defeated.

And it's still the case that the Big Three are there!
They also tasted the first defeat of the Big Three this season.

O'Neal started at the same time as Duncan in this game and scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocks.

This data is far from O'Neal's peak, and even compared with last season's average of 15 points and 8 rebounds per game.

It's just that in the Spurs, O'Neal doesn't have to assume the main offensive role of the team like he did in the Heat.

With Duncan, Ginobili and Parker, O'Neal only needs to complete his job, and even his favorite regular season lying dead, no one will blame him at all.

"But the Cavaliers were defeated, and O'Neal did play a vital role in it!"

After watching the replay of the entire game, Cole also sighed.

The Duncan + O'Neal twin towers formed by the inside of the Spurs have directly become the most terrifying inside defensive combination in the league.

The Cavaliers' Billups' breakthrough power was directly reduced to zero, and even James' breakthrough threat was reduced by half.

And Gasol is even more difficult to score in the paint. This game only had a small double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Even if he wants to stretch to the outside to score on the court, Duncan will follow.

This defense is really restricted to death!
"This season, all eyes are on the Celtics, the Cavaliers and us, the two giants in the East, and the Lakers in the West, followed by the Mavericks and the Suns.

It seems that everyone has forgotten the existence of the veteran team of the Spurs in the West.

After they got O'Neal quietly, their lineup has been upgraded again. Except for us who mainly play three-pointers, any team in the league will probably be in trouble if they encounter them! "

Zhao Hao nodded, and he never underestimated the Spurs.

In fact, after getting O'Neal, he also believes that the Spurs have already approached the two Big Three teams in the East, and it is not impossible that they are even better than them.

It's just that this time the Cavaliers and the Spurs meet, it is also possible that the Cavaliers did not expect to suffer a big loss, and the latter two teams will meet again, and I am afraid that the battle will be even more intense.

In short, as predicted at the beginning of the season, the league's heroes this season will rise together!

January.

The Bucks proudly achieved a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, and their current position in the East is getting stronger.

It's just that if you want to surpass the Celtics and Cavaliers in front, there is still a big gap.

This month, their offensive style of play has swept fans across the league and even the world.

After being mentioned by Barkley in the small ball era, everyone began to use these four words to call them habitually.

"But the jump-shooting team will never go far in the playoffs. In the entire history of the NBA, no team has won the championship by relying on three-pointers!"

Barkley's assessment is not unreasonable.

After all, the farther away from the basket, the lower the shooting rate.

Even Zhao Hao, who has shot crazy from outside the three-point line this season, is currently shooting only 42% of his three-pointers, which is far behind James' 60% inside and O'Neal's 62%.

Especially when the last shot decides the life and death of the game, you can't bet on the three-pointer with a lower shooting percentage, right?

This time the Barkley Show also invited the historical three-pointer, Pacers legend Reggie Miller.

"I have a different view on the Bucks and Zhao Hao."

Reggie Miller is the first outside shooter in NBA history to be regarded as the core of the team, and he is also the only player who was allowed to average more than 10 three-pointers per game in that era.

And the Pacers back then seemed to be the same as the current Bucks, shooting three-pointers crazily, thinking that the more three-pointers scored, the higher the score.

Even if you only hit 40% of your three-pointers, if you make 10 three-pointers, that's 12 points.

Converted to 10 two-point shots, that would be 6 hits, reaching a terrifying 60% hit rate.

How many players in the league can hit 60 percent of their two-point attempts?
If it is not the basket shot, how much will the players with this shooting rate be reduced?
Or none!

So after thinking about it, it seems that the three-pointer is indeed more cost-effective than the two-pointer.

"However, the Pacers frequently lost in the playoffs to the Magic with O'Neal and the Bulls with Jordan, and were even beaten by the eighth Knicks in the Eastern Conference. In the main style of play, it is very unstable.

Although the Pacers' best result was reaching the NBA Finals in 2000, everyone knows how the Lakers' O'Neal and Ke Ke were able to destroy the Pacers inside that year! "

Barkley also said with a face full of memories.

It's not that he underestimated Reggie Miller, it's just that the three-pointer is indeed too unstable, which is also the conclusion that teams in the league have concluded over the years.

And the Pacers and Reggie Miller have already put themselves in danger, and now the Bucks and Zhao Hao dare to fight like this, it is indeed a bit unwise.

Moreover, the Bucks shot three-pointers even more crazy than the Pacers back then!
Zhao Hao is also crazier than Reggie Miller!

"But I still have different views on the Bucks and Zhao Hao."

Miller frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Barkley's offensive and interrupted speech.

This is the first time that Reggie Miller, who has retired for two years, has reappeared in the public's field of vision. The reason is naturally that the Bucks once again rolled up a three-point boom in the league.

Small ball era!

There are probably no other better words to describe this Bucks team.

Although their team has Yao Ming as the great inside line, on the court, Yao Ming will not sit inside most of the time, and rarely use the offensive method of attacking the inside line to solve the battle.

Instead, Yao Ming mentioned high-post support, using the rotation of other players and the high-speed movement of the ball to create three-point shooting openings, and relying on faster scoring allows the team to have stronger scoring explosive power in a short period of time.

Among them, Zhao Hao acts as the core of high-speed operation on the court, and his off-ball running is also the most threatening.

Therefore, the Bucks almost gave up the traditional half-court offense and defense and the inside play with the center sitting low.

The offensive tactics that the NBA has relied entirely on in history have also been completely subverted by them.

When it came to the bench stage, the Bucks bench lineup led by Yi Jianlian also played this offensive play more vividly.

The three-pointer has become the weapon that this team relies on most!
"When it comes to the Bucks' bench, they seem to have had some minor changes this month as well.

Although they are still the second-to-last strength in the league and are also easily restricted by opponents on the offensive end, their defense seems to have undergone some changes.

Everyone dares to defend, and everyone dares to get on the body.

The most intuitive thing is that they averaged 15 fouls per game on the bench this month, more than double the previous average of 6 fouls per game. "

Barkley was talking about the Bucks-Kings game.

In the second quarter, the bench gangsters headed by Ruffin and Charlie Bell entangled their opponents with all kinds of viciousness.

They also didn't expect the Bucks' second-best bench lineup in the league to suddenly play so aggressively.

And Zhao Hao's substitute, Roy Ivey, a little character unknown to the whole world, seemed to go crazy, entangled his opponent in disappointment.

He also completely gave up on his offense and put all his energy on defense.

The Milwaukee Crazy Deer bench is officially famous!

In that game, Roy Ivey directly committed 6 fouls and left the field, covering up the defensive champion Ci Shiping.

Since this season, the Bucks have been famous in the league for their strong offensive team and extremely explosive three-pointers, but it is the first time that people have mentioned their defense. This is the first time!
