Chapter 286 Penny and Singles Joe! The Gods Return!
"Welcome, welcome, finally waiting for you two. On behalf of the Bucks, I welcome your franchise!"
The All-Star Weekend ended, and when He Li returned to Milwaukee, Penny Hardaway and Joe Johnson appeared in the training hall at the Bradley Center.
While He Li stepped forward to show his enthusiasm and sincerity, Penny Hardaway and Joe Johnson were conducting physical tests.
Usually, players who arrive at the team after the transaction is completed have to go through this process.
After obtaining the players' specific physical test data, the coaching staff can arrange the players' positions in the team lineup and tactics in more detail and appropriately, so as to hope that the players can better integrate into the team, bring more help to the team, and make greater contributions.
"Young boss, I'll ask you to take care of you next! Haha!" Penny said with a smile after seeing He Li.
Then he said: "Don't worry, I'm not in any mood when I come to the Bucks.
I just feel that it is time for my age and my career to have a successful outcome.
This time, I also hope to use your strength and everyone’s strength to help me realize this dream.
In the process of making my dream come true, I am willing to contribute everything I have! He Li, boss!"
In his early years, Penny Hardaway looked humble, but in fact he had a bad temper.
High school student Kobe asked for penny's autograph, but the penny disdained it and ignored it.
Before the serious injury, even the team leader O'Neal was not convinced.
It was Penny's temper that caused the Magic Management to drive O'Neal away.
But now, Penns have experienced the cold and cold world of the world and the warmth of human nature, and know how difficult it is to stay in a championship team.
While the championship is getting farther and farther away from him, Penns has also restrained their past temper and become humble, introverted, clear about gains and losses, and knows advance and retreat.
Now that I have just arrived at the Bucks and met He Li, Penns has taken the initiative to show his loyalty to He Li.
Whether this is true or false, He Li has a good first impression of pennies.
Now that Payton is injured and missed the game, the arrival of pennies really made He Li breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, the trade to Joe Johnson is also a pretty good improvement for the Bucks lineup.
Although Wade broke through the rookie wall, he was just a first-year rookie after all.
No need to consider anything else. Wade is a rookie and Joe Johnson is already a mature third-year player. The two's status in the team will quickly be divided.
He Li believes that George Carl will definitely let Joe Johnson start, and let Wade go to the bench to conduct more training.
However, in a short period of time, whether it is penny or single Joe, it will take a certain amount of time for the two to integrate into the Bucks tactical system, and it will also cause some damage to the Bucks during this period.
Although these are all labor pains, they do cause the bucks torture up and down.
Soon a week passed, and the Bucks played four regular season games during this period, with a final record of 2 wins and 2 losses.
Originally, the Bucks were in good momentum and were still in the top position in the East, but now they have dropped to the second place in the East.
Fortunately, after a week, George Carl gradually figured out how to use pennies and singles Joe.
Another video room meeting.
"Carl, I will arrange you in the second team next, I hope you can understand.
Our players are too young and need veterans like you.
In the second lineup, use personal experience, abundant energy and rich infectiousness to lead them to win."
George Carl still feels to transfer Carl Malone to the second lineup.
In fact, after Carl Malone joined the Bucks, George Carl has not found a suitable solution and arranged Carl Malone properly.
In addition, the arrangement for Payton is relatively simple.
It is precisely because the two core players have not shown the true strength that the Bucks are now relying on He Li's strength to win the game.
Sometimes if He Li doesn't perform well, it will be difficult to turn the game.
So, for George Carl, since he can't handle Payton and Karl Malone, he will completely liberate He Li's strength.
From George Carl's own standpoint, he had proved last season that He Li, along with the shooter group and running and bombing tactics, could win the championship.
So, why don’t the Bucks continue to do this this season?
You should know that there is no doubt that He Li in the third grade is stronger than He Li in the second grade.
After coming over the last forty games, George Carl could clearly feel that He Li's projection could become stronger and more stable.
Judging from the data, this is true. He Li's score and efficiency are all better than last season.
Even if He Li had to do more things on the court, such as defense, He Li's rebounds and assists data did not drop.
Even high-level data is one of the best in the league.
Now He Li's performance in the regular season is becoming more and more like the league's number one player.
In this case, George Carl also hopes to re-emerge the running and bombing tactics!
There is no doubt that He Li is very good with running and bombing, and the Bucks' lineup is also very suitable for running and bombing.
With the blessing of running and bombing tactics, the Bucks are not only other players who enjoy the more comfortable shooting space brought by He Li's offensive threat, but He Li himself can also gain amplification in all aspects.
The Bucks who ran and shot were described in one sentence, that is, when He Li scored 40 points in a game, the Bucks were unlikely to lose.
He Li has efficient scoring efficiency, which is useful for powerful scoring threats, creating a more comfortable offensive link for other teammates.
He Li and his teammates help each other, and the Bucks will increase in both sides and become more courageous as they fight.
The Bucks' opponent will be suddenly exploded by the Bucks, instantly losing morale, and then unable to resist the Bucks' attack, allowing the Bucks to win the game more easily.
But then again, if the Bucks want to run and bomb, then Carl Malone's existence is a bit out of place.
Carl Malone is indeed still good, no matter how bad he is, he is at the level of a third-in-chief of the championship team.
But if Carl Malone is still left in the Bucks starting lineup, the Bucks' outside players will be affected.
On the other hand, if Karl Malone is removed, the Bucks' overall offense will be much smoother.
It is possible to defeat the opponent by just attacking.
After arranging Karl Malone to the second lineup, He Li didn't have to spend too much effort to lead the substitute player.
Then, He Li can better achieve the effect he deserves at critical moments.
Sometimes, Karl Malone can also rely on experience and strength to deal with the core players of other teams and destroy the core players of other teams.
At that time, He Li will be more relaxed when he leads the team to cancel the game.
"Joe, it's not enough to just shoot far, practice more three-pointers! I believe you can." After dealing with Carl Malone, George Carl also emphasized the singles Joe.
Now that Joe is young in singles, he can break through, throw and dunk, but his mid-range shot is average and his skills are average.
It has not yet reached the critical moment in the future, and it has the level of being "contemporary Jordan" style.
However, Joe had already made a long shot in singles, which still made George Carl feel very pleased.
In the running and bombing tactics, the Bucks need a single shot that can shoot far to help the team open up space.
But two-pointers are one point less than three-pointers after all. George Carl cannot ask singles Joe to improve offensive efficiency in a short period of time, so it is not too harsh to require singles Joe to expand his long shot outside of three-pointers.
"Coach George, don't worry, I'm already practicing three-pointers!" Joe, a single, replied seriously.
In fact, after Joe came to the Bucks, he did work hard to practice three-pointers, but he was not able to get it on the court.
Therefore, Joe used a long shot in the singles game to still have two points longer than a three-pointer.
Now that Joe's three-pointer can be as accurate as two points in a single shot, the Bucks will have a better chance of winning by winning the game by offense.
