Chapter 257 Pressure, He Li knows everything!(1/2)
"We Mavericks are back at home, and we Mavericks are expected to win at home!"
"Deknowitzki is finally no longer weak, he can lead the team to win the game in a real sense!"
"He Li can't stop Dirknowitzki. In terms of offense, Dirknowitzki is no longer under his power."
At this time, the Mavericks fans who were watching football at the American Airlines Center in Dallas were very shocked!
Before they came to watch the game, they knew very well that this final g3 was a matter of life and death for the Mavericks.
They thought that the Bucks, who swept the championship last season, would continue to be arrogant and suppress the Mavericks throughout the game. If the Mavericks want to win this game, they could only expect a miracle to happen in the fourth quarter.
But unexpectedly, since Nash and Nowitzki connected and completed their first attack, the Mavericks have been in the lead.
At least so far, whenever the Bucks complete the attack, Dirk, Finley, and Nash will definitely come forward to respond.
It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks' recruitment work in the offseason last season was not in vain.
After Popeye Jones became a member of the Mavericks, there have been problems with running-in. The game data and team contributions are not as good as those expected by the Mavericks.
But in the finals, Old Nelson discovered that the Bucks were using a small lineup, and Popeye Jones could start as a small forward.
In addition to Popeye Jones' defense, He Li is more experienced, because Popeye Jones dares to fight and fight, and can bite his opponents in a mad dog-like manner during defense, increasing the opponent's physical energy consumption.
This can play a positive role in the Mavericks' match against the Bucks.
In addition, Popeye Jones defended to the third position, Finley was placed in the second position, the Mavericks' overall height became higher, and it was more advantageous to grab rebounds with the frame guard.
Because of improving defense and gaining more ball rights by grabbing rebounds, this will become the key to defeating the Bucks by weak defeating the strong.
However, in the previous game, He Li did not win the power of the game, and Popeye Jones could only slightly restrict He Li when facing the game.
After all, He Li is the playmaker of the Bucks.
Even if Popeye Jones wants to use all his strength to prevent He Li from attacking, He Li can ignore Popeye Jones and just pass the ball out.
If Popeye Jones is the only one defender, He Li will occasionally choose to play singles. After the previous two games, the efficiency is quite considerable.
Because the Bucks have too many offensive points, the starting players have super one-on-one singles in addition to the center.
The Mavericks can't let go of the main control outside the three-point line like the Bucks and the others.
Then take advantage of the number of people, five-attacks and four-attacks to jointly defend, and have sufficient troops to break the Bucks' overall offensive system.
He Li's range, offense, and organizational ability pose too much a threat to the Mavericks, and whether it is single defense or double-teaming, it is not a good solution to He Li.
Therefore, the way the Mavericks can influence He Li is to increase He Li's consumption after He Li catches the ball and reaches the free throw line.
Before the no handcheck rule appeared, both the weak point guard and the top ball-holder would be troubled by the handcheck defense.
The defender gains weight and muscles to enhance his back play ability, mainly to overcome the handcheck defense.
With He Li's height and shooting stability, handcheck's defense has little impact on his offense.
But if people keep touching him while he is holding the ball, his consumption will still be very large.
Therefore, the Bucks are generally carried out by Kassel.
He Li will only hold the ball when his opponent has already defended and needs to fight in position.
In this game, Popeye Jones continued to put defensive pressure on He Li and began to defend himself after half of the game.
Because it was the finals, the penalty scale was relatively large. As long as Popeye Jones's small moves did not turn into big moves, the referee would basically not be able to blow.
Under this level of influence, He Li can only reduce his shots as much as possible and help his teammates create space for attack by holding the ball to attract defense.
Logically speaking, as long as He Li is on the court, he will have a great effect on the team on the offensive end.
But sometimes, opportunities are created and teammates cannot throw the ball into the basket, so there is nothing they can do.
When the score falls behind, He Li wants to stand up and shoot the ball and catch the score back, he will also encounter a poor feel. The ball does not enter the bounce box and is chased by the Mavericks as they take advantage of the victory and counterattack with a fast break.
17 to 24, with more than 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Bucks head coach George Carl called a timeout first.
After the players left the court, George Carl confessed: "Actually, I didn't think about what tactics to arrange.
You guys are fine with fighting, but we happened to have some minor trouble.
I believe you can find strategies to deal with this trouble, but now we may be able to do something different.”
There are many ways to solve the current problem, and the Bucks can even give up this game.
What should we do in the end? The head coach George Carl actually played by the ball and let the players make their own choices.
The starters looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Seeing this situation, He Li took the initiative to say: "I can do my best, and I can try to win this game.
But I think the significance of the finals is that everyone will participate together and win this game and this round of series.
I don't expect that at that time, some of us will be influenced by external public opinion.
I don't want to hear words like 'I'll lead everyone to win the championship.'
We all contributed to winning the championship.
And I was the biggest beneficiary, MVP in the finals, right?
I already have enough, and I don't want to monopolize these credits.
I just want to share success, victory, and honor with everyone.
That's what I think, and it's exactly what I'm doing."
No one in the Bucks can compete with He Li for FMVP, so He Li can speak so much.
Everyone also knew in their hearts that He Li had the ability to play like last season's finals, but in fact He Li did not do that.
He Li has done all this in the Eastern Conference Finals. He Li is just leading everyone in a friendly and approachable way to win the game.
Maybe, they are not He Li, and they don’t have to worry about anything like He Li.
On the contrary, they are more or less stressful and worried when they participate in the finals and play for the Bucks.
What pressure and concerns are there? The Bucks won the finals too easily and achieved two consecutive championships.
This sounds like a joke, but that's the truth.
The Bucks have four All-Stars, and these days, all-Stars are worth tens of millions.
To be honest, if it is a normal All-Star, the Bucks can't afford to raise them.
The main reason why the Bucks can afford to support them in the past two years is the rookie bonus.
But soon the dividends are gone. After the championship is won, there may be at most two of the four All-Stars left.
Starting from the All-Star Game, the whole United States is building momentum, saying that the next is an unprecedented year of draft picks. With Jordan's retirement, another group of geniuses will emerge.
The Bucks are likely to clear the team's big contract in advance because He Li's rookie contract is about to expire.
The player with a big contract happens to be an All-Star and a champion member, and the transaction value is extremely high.
Is there any problem with using the current All-Stars and champion members to trade the draft picks for the next draft year?
After all, no one dares to ensure that the draft picks traded were selected as rookies of Kobe's level.
But even so, it is a loss to be able to trade to the peak All-Stars and core players with championship experience, just a comeback draft pick and add some extra points.
No, even if the Bucks really choose Kobe's level and can become a superstar rookie in the future, this can only be said to be a win-win situation.
If the Bucks fail to win the draft, it will be a huge profit for the team that gives the draft pick.
But for the All-Stars in the Bucks, they don't want to be traded like this.
How good would it be if I could continue to stay with the Bucks and try to build a dynasty with three consecutive championships?
By witnessing it with your own eyes, the second round pick Reed played from He Li.
Kwame Brown has gone from being a paralyzed No. 1 pick to a star who averages close to score and rebounds twice-double.
Boozer also showed good offensive talent at the end of the first round.
In addition, the next offseason and next season, it is actually a bit difficult for the Bucks to not win the championship under the leadership of He Li.
It is precisely for this reason that the Bucks management needs to clear up the salary space and show the greatest sincerity to leave Heli.
Then, after the Bucks win the championship this season, the fate of their All-Stars will basically be destined.
That is, if combat power is exchanged for future, it will not be a loss for the Bucks.
On the one hand, he cleared out the salary space and prepared to keep He Li. On the other hand, even if He Li wants to transfer to other teams after finishing the contract, he may win the next He Li.
Speaking of Jordan's first retirement, Big Dog, Kidd, Hill, Eddie Jones, Juwan Howard, Jaylen Ross, Donyel Marshall, Brian Grant, Wesley Person, the New Year of the Draft that year, is not bad now.
Not to mention Jordan's first return, the 96 Golden Generation.
Then Jordan retired for the second time, Mike Bibby, Jamison, Rafrenz, Carter, White Chocolate, Larry Hughes, Nowitzki, Pierce, Bunch Wells, Matt Harplin, Ricky Davis, Tyron Lu, Harlempe, Lewis, Alstom, and the old cat Mobri, the yield rate is quite considerable.
Even though Jordan's comeback not long ago, Kwame Brown seems unsatisfactory this time, in fact, there are gradually people playing. Who can be sure that Jordan's retirement and comeback will have little impact on the draft?
Therefore, based on past experience, it can be judged that at least the chance of winning at high positions in this draft will be very high.
If the Bucks can easily win this finals, it is possible that the other three All-Stars except He Li trade all the trades for high-level signings.
Besides, the Bucks have already had two first-round picks this year, one of which is the Supersonics who did not make it to the playoffs.
To be continued...
