Chapter 173 Deductions at the opening, a dream start! (Big Chapter)(1/2)
The Bucks beat the Celtics and nearly advanced the Eastern Conference finals, and they usually took half a week off.
Compared with the opponent in the next round, the Nets, the Bucks players all gained a rest time that was enough to relieve fatigue and release stress.
However, it was soon May 17. Two days before the start of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks players began to gather again and stayed in the hotel together for closed training and management.
Two days later, the Eastern Conference Finals that the Bucks have always dreamed of. After the defeat of last season, the Eastern Conference champions of this season must be won.
Today's video room meeting is different from before.
In the previous two rounds of playoff video room meetings, the coaching staff and management would not say too much to the players, and the main focus was on daily training and tactical adjustments.
However, today, the video played at the beginning of the meeting was about the Nets' two rounds of playoff games.
It’s not just a way to gather the wisdom of the players, hold a magnifying glass together, find Nets players, or the overall tactical system is insufficient.
The main thing is to let the players have a general understanding of the Nets' situation this season and their performance in the playoffs.
The Nets are naturally different from the Bucks.
In the first two rounds of the playoffs, the Bucks easily swept their opponents.
What about the Nets? Even a gentleman can't do it.
The Nets played 75 players in the first round, and these were the 75 players who were in the leading player Iverson.
Unexpectedly, the Nets were defeated for two consecutive games when they won the first home advantage, and almost returned from the 75-man home court Vacovia Center.
It was in the fourth game that Kenyon Martin was in a state of great shape, and with the help of Uncle Mu's injury and physical strength, the Nets stopped the defeat.
Next, the Nets returned to the home court of the Continental Airlines Center Arena, and with the home advantage, they struggled to win the 75 people with the wounded camp, which was close to the second round of the playoffs.
The Nets played against the Hornets in the second round, but the Hornets fought against the Magic in the first round for four games, which was quite expensive.
During the Nets' home advantage against the Hornets, they were not sure about their home court advantage. They first scored one point and then lost two consecutive games. Then the Nets miraculously made a comeback and finally defeated the Hornets with a score of 4-2.
However, even though the Nets and Hornets did not play until the tiebreak, they would have fought until May 16, which was yesterday.
And there are two days left, and the Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin!
The Bucks players have been resting for four days, but the Nets players have not received much rest time.
While the Bucks players began to resume training and prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals, the Nets players were still taking time to rest, recover their physical strength, and relieve the psychological pressure accumulated before.
There is no doubt that under such circumstances, the competitive states of the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals will definitely be different.
As the Eastern Conference Finals progresses, the two teams' states will become increasingly different.
The purpose of the Bucks holding this video room meeting today is very simple.
On the one hand, it affirms the players' past strength and achievements, and on the other hand, it reaches a consensus strategically to despise the Nets, the Eastern Conference Finals opponent.
The main thing is to inject spiritual energy into the players.
Sometimes, before playing games, you really need to give the players a lot of blood to stimulate the players and encourage them to show a better competitive level.
But for the Bucks, there is actually not much need.
In the eyes of most Bucks players, even if they don't hold this meeting, they don't take the Nets seriously.
What does the Nets have? Are there so many All-Stars with the Bucks?
The Nets have a guard in the first round, Jason Kidd!
But no matter how much Kidd was rated for a while, did he have an offense?
At the critical moment, who will attack? Who will score?
If it's not Kidd's words? Is it Kenyon Martin? Or Corey Kiddles, or Keith Van Horn?
No matter who stands out at the critical moment, He Li can stand out at any time in the Bucks!
This is the difference between the two teams and the difference between the two teams!
Anyway - Nets: Is it amazing to have superstars? Bucks: Sorry, in the playoffs, having superstars can do whatever they want!
After clarifying that the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals is the Nets, some Bucks players have begun to consider where to celebrate and what to do after winning the Eastern Conference championship.
There are even some players who are very determined, of course, mainly because of their career. They are already working on studying Western teams and teams that may become opponents in the finals.
“We have shown that we are a very talented team, and we have shown that we can be the best team!”
"I don't want the outside world to add one more evaluation to us! My hope is that we are unrivaled this season!"
"The Nets won't be our final opponent, the Eastern Conference Finals are just the beginning!"
"Go and enjoy the joy of winning the game!
Take out your offense and your defense to continue the feeling of winning the game before.
Beat the Nets and get into the finals first. Tell me, can you do it?"
This time, the Bucks coaching staff and management used the video room meeting as a mobilization meeting to clarify the goals of this season.
After this battle, the players also understood what to do next.
Perhaps some players are slow to heat up. They haven't adapted to the two rounds of the playoffs before, but now they are about to play in the Eastern Conference Finals, and what should be adjusted must have been adjusted.
The Eastern Conference Finals are about to start, which is actually a good thing for the Bucks, who have many rookies in the team.
The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. In a blink of an eye, May 19th was coming. On this day, heavy rains fell over Milwaukee.
However, it still cannot stop the fans from watching the game.
Everyone who should come in the Bradley Center has also come. Jabbar and Jordan are already regular visitors to the Bradley Center.
What was a bit surprising today was that Moses Malone also came.
There are two Malones among the top fifty superstars. Perhaps everyone is more familiar with Karl Malone, but in fact Moses Malone is stronger and has a higher status than Karl Malone.
Even though Carl Malone's career data is so luxurious that it is terrible, and the number of best teams and All-Stars has accumulated a lot, Moses Malone is not comparable to the MVP and FMVP of the championship season.
More importantly, Moses Malone won the championship and FMVP from Jabbar and the Magicians in the era when the two black and white heroes began, and it was swept.
In the early 1980s, Moses Malone won the title of No. 1 from Jabbar.
Of course, the good times didn't last long, and the Magician quickly grabbed the reputation of the No. 1 player from Moses Malone.
It is also because he was born at the wrong time, with Chamberlain and Jabbar in front, and Magicians and Jordan behind him, which made Moses Malone, who was obviously in the top 10 in the fifties, become unknown.
Of course, this is also because Moses Malone is relatively low-key after retirement, rarely returns to the NBA and does not appear under the media footage, so fans have fewer and fewer memories of him.
Today Moses Malone came to Bradley Center to watch the game, perhaps because Moses Malone played here, basically after the Bucks played, he was half-retired.
Moses Malone's three years of wandering career was just a job, and the last decent big contract was won by the Bucks.
How to say, Moses Malone and the Bucks still have a passion for incense.
Perhaps this is the reason. Today, Moses Malone sat with Bucks' legendary celebrities such as Jabbar, and is considered a member of the Bucks.
But Jordan is not far away, which makes today's game more important.
The three first players in the league gathered in one place. If it weren't for the All-Star Game and the Hall of Fame, it would be the only one in this stadium, this game.
"The stars are coming to the north, and the torch is passed down from generation to generation."
When he found that there were so many big names on the court, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh when He Li made his debut.
How great would it be if Chinese players could become the No. 1 player in the NBA!
Unfortunately, this season is only He Li's first season. Even though He Li performed well, he still has a long way to go in the future.
After He Li was on the court, the game began soon.
During the jumping stage, the Nets had a jumping man with top physical fitness like Kenyon Martin, so the Bucks didn't compete much.
After the jump ball is over, return to defense immediately, set up the joint defense lineup, and then empty Kidd in the top arc to make Kidd bolder.
As expected, Kidd had a big heart and pulled three points directly.
Duang—
Just hit an iron.
The Bucks are the defensive side, so they naturally have more advantages in grabbing rebounds.
However, the Nets' inside players did not give up easily. After all, in the Eastern Conference Finals, every second is necessary, and any rebound must compete, and you cannot give up easily.
Kenyon Martin is slightly shorter than He Li, but he looks quite strong and is very strong in the lower set. He also wants to compete with He Li to grab this rebound.
However, He Li is not very good at the ball and is more confident in predicting the rebound.
He Li knew that it was useless to practice hard work in the gym, and Kenyon Martin's standing positioning was of no effect.
He Li took the initiative to take a step back, then took a leap and snatched the defensive rebound in front of Kenyon Martin, who also took off.
Under He Li's pass, the Bucks immediately launched a fast attack.
However, what surprised He Li was that Kenyon Martin, who was facing him, returned to defense very quickly.
It is obvious that Big Dog is the small forward, and Kenyon Martin is the power forward.
But the result was that Big Dog followed Ray Allen and Kassel and then Big Dog ran to the three-point line, and Kenyon Martin had already rushed into the three-second zone.
Kenyon Martin rushed into the three-second zone to chase the hat and layup. Ray Allen didn't expect this to happen before, and he didn't get the 2 points he should have scored at will.
To be continued...
