Chapter 207 Restart the preseason, Ewing surrenders!(1/2)
On October 1, Milwaukee opened the new season training camp at a regular time.
When the Bucks won the championship returned to Bradley Center, they could clearly see He Li wearing the No. 17 jersey and obviously strengthened his body.
"He Li, why are you getting fat?"
"Ho Li has gained weight?"
"Haha, I performed well at the World Championships, but without us, it wouldn't be possible even if you become stronger!"
The three musketeers came early, either living in Milwaukee or Chicago. As soon as the Bucks training camp opened, the three of them arrived almost at the same time.
Soon, Anthony Mason, Joel, and champion teams such as Reed and Alstom also appeared, but the main rotation lineups were missing Tim Thomas and Bartel.
Tim Thomas was traded by the Bucks to the Seattle Supersonics and received a first-round pick and some cash next year.
The main purpose of this deal is to make room for Reed's new contract, ensuring that the Bucks have a relatively healthy salary structure and can strengthen signings during the season.
As for Bartel, the Bucks took the initiative to let it go.
Even if the Sharks travel east and the Celtics are about to rise, there is no need for the Bucks to sign Battel with a high-value contract.
For the Bucks, if you sign Battels with more than one million, such a contract is a premium.
But the contract with a minimum salary of one million will definitely not be signed.
Although, according to his past love and He Li's face, the Bucks can also sign with Bartel first, then find the team and then change it.
However, there is a certain possibility here, that is, in order to limit the Bucks' championship, other teams may temporarily use tricks to harm others and not benefit themselves to create a wave of Bucks.
If you cheat the Bucks, you will first sign a larger contract with Bartel. It is impossible to take out the original chips when making a transaction. At that time, the Bucks will be in a difficult position.
Therefore, when the sincerity of the transaction object cannot be predicted, it is very risky for the Bucks to sign first and then exchange.
If you don’t do it well, you will not only not make much money, but you may suffer a salary loss, and you will be very passive in strengthening your work next season.
Therefore, not dealing with Batel and letting Batel go is a result that is appropriate for both others and yourself.
Speaking, after the Bucks champions gathered, the role players from the Supersonics trade and Boozer, who had just finished the summer league, also came to Bradley Center.
Speaking of Boozer, I have to say that the Bucks forward players are crowded again.
Originally, the Bucks had the strength of the forward line, Big Dogs, Tim Thomas, Anthony Mason, and three substitute forwards.
Now that Tim Thomas has been dealt with, but “reinforced” Charles Barkley, and if there is another rookie Boozer, the Bucks’ forward line is really overcrowded.
In fact, the Bucks can handle Anthony Mason's contract during the offseason.
Anthony Mason is clearly an All-Star player, but his utilization rate in the Bucks was not high at all last season. Anthony Mason staying with the Bucks is undoubtedly a waste of resources.
Not to mention that He Li overlaps with Big Dog, it is not appropriate to let Big Dog with an annual salary of tens of millions play with a substitute.
Therefore, it is still necessary to trade Anthony Mason to make a place for He Li and Dagou.
In addition, the rookie Boozer, who has just signed a contract with the Bucks, also needs a certain amount of training time and opportunity.
Barkley, who has strengthened, also needs time to work with the Bucks' main players to get along with the lineup and be familiar with the feeling of playing together.
This makes Anthony Mason's status and time in the Bucks even more embarrassing.
For contracts like Anthony Mason that are not useful and have good trading value, it is not difficult for the Bucks to deal with them in the offseason.
However, although the NBA is a business league, it has to be more or less humane.
The championship of last season was at least the second championship in the Bucks' history.
He Li and the three Musketeers are undoubtedly the heroes of the Bucks, which is enough to write into the team history and retire the jerseys with the Bucks.
So, a veteran like Anthony Mason, who is one of the core players of last season's makeup photos, has to finish the championship ring in the first home game of the regular season before leaving.
Of course, there are exceptions in everything.
That is a contract like Tim Thomas that is imminent and needs to be resolved. In order to successfully defend the champion, the Bucks must send it away in advance.
Then he said that the Bucks were not in a hurry to deal with Anthony Mason, because the Bucks management was not at ease with Boozer.
Even though He Li has been practicing Boozer for a while in the offseason, Boozer is still a rookie and a rookie.
In the next new season, the Bucks need Anthony Mason's help and guidance to launch Zell, so that Boozer can mature in advance and come in handy.
Besides, the Bucks in the new season must be heading for the number one in the East.
It was already the number one in the Eastern Conference last season, and there is no reason why it will not work this season.
Only when the Bucks perform strong enough can other teams not attack the Bucks rashly, but will only continue to lie dormant and continue to accumulate strength.
Just like the male wolf packs are constantly growing stronger and they begin to challenge the wolf king.
But as long as the wolf king maintains enough power, he can suppress the wolves' ambitions of most male wolves and avoid excessive consumption.
The Bucks want to defeat the enemy without fighting. Although this is unlikely, more and more competitors will inevitably appear in front of the Bucks.
But before this happens, the Bucks have to bluff out more or less to push out the momentum of the defending champion.
However, the Bucks still need to train new players in the new season.
Moreover, based on the lineup of the three Musketeers and He Li, the Bucks need to try more new lines in order to successfully defend the champion to avoid a lineup being thoroughly figured out by their opponents.
Why is it so difficult for the NBA to win three consecutive championships, or even two consecutive championships? That's because a team has only one core tactic that can achieve success.
When this core tactic has been thoroughly studied, even if the team's lineup has been changed a lot, it will be defeated by another rising strong team.
The Bucks were able to win the championship last season, on the one hand, because the Bucks had too strong firepower and were the best in the league.
On the other hand, the Bucks' fast attack and defense replacement are particularly suitable for the new season when the rules have just been adjusted.
Such bucks were born in response to the times, but they may also become a stepping stone for the next generation as time goes by.
The NBA coaching staff are all working with real money. Don’t think that players should get millions, and coaches get millions is just a waste of money.
The Bucks, which do not actively seek change, have been thoroughly analyzed by other teams, so they can only rely on the strength of the players themselves to play.
Without system bonuses and tactical bonuses, the expenses of nearly 10 million coaching teams will be wasted every year.
As for the team's record, it is always better to stand on the coach's seat than to tie a dog.
Therefore, the Bucks in the new season have undoubtedly been the top priority.
At that time, some minor or serious problems will be exposed because of trying to do these very strange and unfamiliar things, so that the opponent will find opportunities on the field and affect the team's overall record.
During the next regular season, the Bucks want to ensure their record and make full preparations for the future.
Then, before Boozer grows up, the Bucks also need the strength of Anthony Mason.
Even in the conflict between Big Dog and He Li, it is impossible for the Bucks to have a center lineup without a center, but to place three forward players.
But after all, Anthony Mason and He Li and the three Musketeers played for a season, and everyone knows each other better and cooperates more tacitly.
At the critical moment, Anthony Mason may have made some unexpected and reasonable cooperation with He Li and others to help the Bucks achieve good and stable results.
However, since the new season has begun, it is naturally impossible for the Bucks to focus on Anthony Mason, and the Bucks also have time to adjust the new lineup and practice new tactics.
As for when Anthony Mason stays and when to trade for resources that are more beneficial to the Bucks, it depends on the development of the Bucks in the next few months.
October 2, Bucks Video Room Meeting.
"The preseason schedule has been released, and the first game will be a visit to Minnesota to fight the Timberwolves a week later.
Next, our schedules are: No. 11 to play against the Mavericks at home, No. 13 to play against the Celtics, and No. 14 to play against the Clippers.
On the 19th, he will visit the West, then play against the Mavericks, the 22nd Clippers, and the 24th Lakers, until he returns to home court on the 25th to meet the challenge of the Cavaliers."
The preseason is usually 7 games, but the Bucks are the defending champions and they must increase their playing rate and one extra game.
Judging from the preseason schedule, the Bucks have a lot of roles.
The Mavericks and the Clippers are old repertoire in the past, and the Celtics and Lakers are the playoff previews for the new season. There are only Timberwolves and Cavaliers, which are fruit before meals and dessert after meals.
Of course, it's just not counting as a record. The Bucks don't have to worry too much about the preseason for training and testing their status.
Just train normally!
He Li didn't have much rest during the off-season. He walked out of his training camp, his waist and arms were thicker, and he was vaguely developing towards a big muscle bully like Karl Malone.
There is no doubt that He Li has become stronger!
The ability to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the World Championships finals alone is enough to show He Li's current strength.
Of course, the three musketeers were not idle either.
Needless to say, Ray Allen is not yet the age to play golf. In addition to recuperating in the offseason, he is practicing his skills hard and striving to fill the two skills of no ball and three-pointers as soon as possible.
Kassel won the third championship and proved himself in two championship teams. It is logical that he can start health preservation.
But the problem is that Kassel signed a 6-year, 2100 contract with the Nets in 1997, and the next season is the last season of Kassel's contract.
In other words, Kassel is now contract year again.
As a player who has always been known for his low salary and high energy, Kassel is naturally unwilling to see the same class and other players around him enjoying the popularity of drinking with big contracts, while he himself is "depressed".
In order to win the next big contract, or even to renew the contract with the Bucks in advance and continue to stay in Milwaukee, where he had been there for four years, Kassel naturally made some efforts in the offseason.
Besides, the big dog, who was originally the easiest to slack off, was also worried about contract issues and was traded by the Bucks, and practiced hard in the summer game.
Big Dog is 29 years old this year and is about to be 30 years old, which is the peak of her physical condition.
