When He Li heard George Carl talk about lightning change, he thought it was the unlimited change in the later small ball era.

However, it is not! In fact, what George Carl said about lightning defense swaps was the iron-blooded defense system he relied on Payton and Kemp at the Supersonics, plus the super forward group.

Of course, lightning defense replacement looks very similar to infinite defense replacement, and the theory is actually similar, but the actual operation is very different.

George Carl's defense replacement system mainly relies on the speed and height of the front line to make up for the shortcomings in the outside defense, and uses the outside line and the front line to cut off the opponent's internal and external connections.

As for the center, it is still a one-man guarding the penalty area to prevent anyone from breaking into the inside, or preparing for positioning, rebounding, etc.

In other words, not all players can participate in the switchover, the center is still the center.

Having said that, with the legalization of regional joint defense and the Bucks players having good athletic abilities, George Carl's defensive tactics can finally come in handy, unlike before, being criticized for being strong in offense and weak in defense.

However, the Supersonics led by George Carl have defensive gloves Payton and Rainman Kemp, while the Bucks only have three Musketeers with strong offense and weak defense.

Big Dog's defensive colander, Ray Allen has liked to play on the outside recently. Kassel has the highest defensive enthusiasm, but his body is the thinnest.

Forward Tim Thomas is also a play-type player, while He Li is just a rookie. Whether it is hard or not will take time to test.

In short, the Bucks lack one or two cores that can support the entire defensive system.

George Carl's theory of lightning changeover is fine, and there are even actual successful cases, but the tactics are dead. To play a role in the game, the right players are needed to operate.

This is also the reason why George Carl directly proposed the lightning replacement in the Bucks training camp for the first video room meeting. George Carl needs time to find the right defensive player, even the defensive core.

In this way, the Bucks can be both offensive and defensive and officially move towards the championship.

At the next meeting, George Carl basically explained the new tactics to everyone. At the end of the meeting, George Carl announced the preseason starting list.

Of course, this is not the final roster of the regular season, but a temporary arrangement based on last season.

The Bucks' preseason starting lineup: point guard Cassel, countdown Ray Allen, small forward big dog Robinson, power forward Tim Thomas, center Sgerter Williams.

Among them, Sgerter Williams, who was unknown, was born in a undrafted draft, but he was fortunate to become one of the Bulls' bench players. He belonged to O'Neal's grandma type and followed Jordan to win three championship rings in the first three consecutive times.

As a rotation player, Sgerter Williams is actually okay, but usually can only stand up to power forwards, because Sgerter Williams is only 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters) tall, but in fact he doesn't even wear shoes 2.08 meters...

Not all short inside players can make a fortune. They are also out of the draft. Although Sgerter Williams, a senior, has three championship rings, is quite unworthy of his name. He is a high-paying and low-capacity player in the Bucks who is similar to Tim Thomas.

The Bucks let Sgert Williams serve as the starting center and also the general from the shorts.

The Bucks don’t have the idea of ​​strengthening the inside, but there is no way. If you say it out, you may not believe it. A small football market like the Bucks, which is at the bottom of the NBA market value, has actually been paying luxury taxes in recent years in order to return to the playoffs.

The Bucks traded to Cassel, renewed the maximum salary contract for Ray Allen, and signed a big contract for Tim Thomas. In addition, the original Big Dog's maximum salary, the Bucks' salary status in recent years is the same as that of the Knicks.

He Li thought about it carefully and might have traded Lindsey Hunter for him to free up part of his salary space...

If it weren't for the fact that there was no salary space, the Bucks would have the chance to win over the gorilla Ewing.

Now the Bucks can only use it closely, and basically the starting lineup is the one with the largest salary in the Bucks.

Among the remaining players, Jason Caffe and Elvin Johnson have higher salaries than He Li. Both of them are the Bucks' defensive "strong players". The former is the Bulls' last three consecutive bench power forward, and the latter is George Carl's bench center at the Supersonics.

It seems that these two peaks have passed, the prices are inflated and have no name. However, the depth of the Bucks bench does not depend on them, but on potential stocks such as He Li, Reed, Alstom, and Joel.

He Li and others are all on the preseason roster.

After talking about the roster, George Carl clicked He Li's name and said that He Li needs to take more responsibilities in the new season.

He Li nodded with a smile at that time, but he couldn't laugh after the meeting.

The Bucks have two more rookies in the new season, and only He Li and Andre Hutson can play with them. The latter was cut because of poor performance after the summer season.

NBDL was only established this year, with only 8 teams at first, and it has nothing to do with NBA.

In other words, He Li became the only miscellaneous guy in the Bucks. In addition to his teammates who have worked together in the summer season, he had to serve tea and water to seven or eight other old birds, carry bags and deliver food.

At the beginning of the Bucks training camp, He Li dared not speak out, and he was holding his breath. Fortunately, He Li had the strength and was not a soft persimmon that could be controlled by others. Except for Big Dog and Kassel, everyone else was challenged by He Li to get back to the scene.

However, because He Li temporarily learned the Big Dog's shooting movements, some of the shooting attributes were affected and temporarily decreased. He Li's shooting shots became faster, and the shooting points became higher and more difficult to defend, but they also became less stable. Sometimes they were slapped in the face just as they wanted to show off.

As time goes by, He Li's shooting attributes have increased again, He Li's shooting movements have also gained a certain muscle memory, and his shooting has become more and more stable. Other old birds on the team are even more unable to do anything to He Li.

Of course, there are still things like picking up some food, asking for snacks, helping with water, and handing towels, but things like helping people tie shoelaces and carrying pants at the beginning have become less and less.

Big Dog and Kassel continued to send He Li without any changes.

However, He Li gradually understood that if you want to survive in NBA, you must have a strong heart. If you can't adapt to this humiliation and this situation, it's better to go home to raise pigs.

In addition, the old birds ask rookies to buy things and do odd jobs for them, which is also helping rookies integrate into the team and into the city?

The new rookie is coming and doesn't know anything. It's impossible for veterans to accommodate newcomers, right?

Moreover, under the guidance of the veteran, the newcomer gradually learned which restaurant in the city has good food, which dishes are more expensive, which places are suitable for dinner, which nightclubs have more beauties, and which places are safer...

So what if you can grow, integrate into the environment quickly, and endure some hardships?

Although the training time is less, running errands is not in vain, at least there is a tip, right?

After five days, He Li has made more than 4,000 US dollars. This is how many dollars are calculated in a season! He Li does not lack these more than 100,000 US dollars, but what if it were an ordinary second-round pick?

I'm afraid they won't be unhappy, right?

Time flies, the days are getting shorter, and the preseason is finally coming.

On October 7, the Bucks flew to Orlando and faced the Magic away.

Last season, Magic and the Bucks had just formed a scoundrel last season. Magic relied on McGrady to fight Lu Bu and fought against the three musketeers of the Bucks, but in the end they lost to the Bucks.

However, the Bucks also lost even if they won. The Big Dog was completely defeated against McGrady. Although the Big Dog's captain had been replaced by Ray Allen, they were still the boss of the Bucks. The boss lost completely against the position. Even if the team finally won, it was not a very glorious thing.

This season, the Magic made a comeback, not only did Grant Hill return from injury, but also Gorilla Ewing and Cobra Grant joined.

Both teams are now in a star lineup, and He Li is also looking forward to his first NBA game.

Unfortunately, He Li had to be a substitute and sat down in the audience and watched the game start, but was unable to participate in it as soon as possible.

Although the preseason is a warm-up match, the stars may not have any physical activity due to summer vacations, so the quality of the preseason will be worse than the regular season, and the game will not be that good-looking.

But today's game was full of gunpowder from the beginning.

The Magic Jumped the ball and left it to McGrady to play the first attack. McGrady is really powerful and directly came to the big dog to fight head-on.

The big dog must have the energy as soon as he came on the court. When he met McGrady, who made him grit his teeth when he saw him, he did not slacken in defense.

However, people cannot compare with others. McGrady's physical fitness is beyond the reach of re-creation of the big dog's mother.

After McGrady pulled her hair out, the big dog's face turned into pig's liver.

After hitting the ball, McGrady took the initiative to spit out trash words: "Oh, isn't this a big dog? Why did it become so hard?"
