Chapter 158 Substitute for the boss? Sudden criminal!

April 22, Bucks Video Room.

"So, Reggie Miller is not on the starting lineup?" He Li couldn't help asking when he saw the starting lineup list given by the Pacers.

In fact, things are already very clear. The Pacers' starting lineup will not be sent to Reggie Miller.

Before the game begins, the playoff game activation list will be reported to the league official, and the starting list will be passed to the home team.

The Bucks learned that the starting lineup given by the Pacers is the starting lineup that the Pacers will send tonight during the game.

As for why He Li asked this question, he mainly felt it was a bit incredible.

This is Reggie Miller! The Pacers are well-deserved boss and the team-building core. As a result, Reggie Miller said that he would be a substitute?

Ah...this! It's so interesting, so amazing.

"I guess I'm following the Pistons. The Pacers' starting lineup is not our opponent. They can only think of more solutions in the substitute lineup!" George Carl said disapprovingly.

The players' mobile phones were collected and the people were locked in specific hotels, so they could not obtain external information.

But the coaching team is different. The coaching team must accept external information, then conduct analysis, and help the team go further through data analysis.

During these two days, the Bucks coaching staff watched and analyzed the videos of the 8 games played between the 16 playoff teams in the previous two days.

Among them, the game between the Pistons and the Celtics is the Bucks' focus of analysis, after all, it is very likely to encounter it in the Eastern Conference semi-finals in the next round.

Those who are good at fighting will not fight a battle without confidence! Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you be defeated in a hundred battles.

Moreover, the Pistons did have many adverse effects on the Bucks at the last moment of the regular season.

To be honest, studying the Pistons’ competition videos has really gained nothing.

The Pistons' coach Rick Carlisle is really interesting. In the first game of the playoffs, he put Jerry Starkhouse, the Pistons boss, on the bench.

The Pistons and the Celtics are both Eastern Conference Final Four teams, but the difference between the two is that the Celtics are an NBA giant, and now Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker are in charge.

Judging from the gorgeous lineup, the Celtics are indeed stronger and better than the Pistons.

But in this case, Carlisle went against the crowd and put Starkhouse, the Pistons' only star, on the bench.

Then use the iron-blooded defense of the starting lineup to lock the Celtics' offense.

Then, Starkhouse's inefficient offensive ability and the overall defensive ability of the Pistons dragged the Celtics into an ugly "snail race"-style game.

The result of this is that Carlisle and the Pistons, who are mentally aware and unintentional, win.

78 to 82, the Pistons won at home, and just looking at the score, it seemed that they won not much.

But in fact, from the second quarter of the normal game, the Pistons have maintained the advantage of scoring leading the way.

It turns out that defense can indeed win easily in the playoffs.

The inefficient players are also stars in the playoffs, and inefficient players can sometimes kill the game.

The Pacers are a team that is both offensive and defensive. After finding out that they can't beat the Bucks with offense, it's not surprising that they want to win the game with defense.

Since there are successful examples like the Pistons, the Pacers can also follow the example, starting and defending, trying not to lose points, and then let Reggie Miller lead the substitute to lead the team to victory in this way.

Faced with this situation, Ray Allen was very responsible: "Put me into the second lineup, I will definitely limit Reggie Miller."

Ray Allen himself also knows that he is not a match for Reggie Miller now, so Ray Allen is talking about restrictions, not defeat.

Now Reggie Miller's ability to go off the ball is still above Ray Allen.

In addition, the Pacers are based entirely on Reggie Miller as the core. Reggie Miller enjoys the support of the whole team, and it is normal that Ray Allen cannot completely defend Reggie Miller.

In other words, Ray Allen is not qualified to play Reggie Miller now, but the latter is the former's catch-up target.

Ray Allen is happy to fight against an opponent he must defeat.

But in George Carl's opinion: "There is no need to act impulse!"

“Our priority is to score and keep the offensive rhythm as smooth as possible.

Since the Pacers put Reggie Miller in the second lineup, since the Pacers want to use defense to limit us,

Then let them do this, I want to see what they can do to me?"

"So today, our task in the first quarter is to strive for an advantage of more than 15 points.

They want to rely on the second team to catch up with points?

Then let them follow our butts and look at them!”

George Carl said that the strategy of adapting to changes is not necessary to make too many changes to the Bucks themselves because of adjustments made by the Pacers.

The players also know that the Bucks are very strong. They are the number one in the East and the Pacers are only the eighth in the East, so there is nothing to worry about, just play normally.

However, when the game officially started, the trend of the game was not normal.

He Li was almost injured... Fortunately, he was not injured in the end.

Before the game started, He Li could have predicted that someone would definitely give him intensity in today's game.

So before the game started, He Li put on protective gear early and was also careful when playing the game.

However, He Li did not encounter the blood-level defense that he expected, and no foot pads appeared after taking off.

But during a breakthrough dunk, the Pacers' power forward Jonathan Bend suddenly pushed it with brute force and flew several meters away.

Because of this evil offender, He Li was almost injured, and the situation on the field became very subtle in an instant.

Fortunately, after He Li got up from the ground, he took the initiative to stop the conflict from further intensifying.

However, the impulsive Bartel was sent off the Bradley Center because he ran from the bench.

Other substitutes abide by the rules and know that He Li usually won't suffer any losses in this regard, so they just stood up from the bench and did not rush up directly.

"It seems that He Li should not have a big problem."

"With that being said, He Li was still put down and had a simple examination to avoid the occurrence of injuries without knowing them, which eventually leads to worsening of the injury."

"Yes. I hope He Li is really fine, and I hope He Li can return to the competition site as soon as possible."

"The game will start again after a while, and now we can talk about it, Jonathan Bend."

"He, I heard that he is also a talented power forward who can switch hands and dunk on free throw line. Unfortunately, he had a big problem with his knee as soon as he entered the league, and his talent was still not fulfilled in the end. What a pity."

"So that's the case, that's not surprising.

It is understandable to see that the same type of player as him plays so well, but he is tired of injury, has a bad life, is unbalanced, and fights.
