Chapter 282 It's time to test He Li's ability to lead the team!
With the Bucks general manager Ernie Grunfeld getting the support of He Li, the deal between Reid, Joe Johnson and Penny Hardaway was quickly reached.
On February 2, less than two weeks before the start of the All-Star Game, the Bucks and the Suns suddenly reached a deal that shocked the entire league.
For a while, many people participated in the topic after the transaction was completed.
"The Bucks won three consecutive championships? The biggest traitor was finally exposed. General manager Ernie Grunfeld sold out the Bucks championship team."
"The Bucks dumped the All-Stars, who will be next? It is reported that the Celtics and 75 people are actively fighting for Heli!"
"The biggest change of the season, the defending champion Bucks officially withdrew from the championship sequence through the worst operation in history."
"Who would have thought that He Li's biggest enemy would be the general manager of the team!"
"Bucks, half rookie, half veteran, the most outrageous championship team in history!"
"Next is the time to really test He Li's ability to lead the team, let us wait and see!"
Basically, these reports are right.
After announcing the transaction information between the Bucks and the Suns, the general manager of the Celtics approached Ernie Grunfeld immediately, hoping to reach a deal with the Bucks.
The Celtics' attitude is very low. Whether it's O'Neal or Pierce, the Bucks can pick whatever they want. As long as the Bucks have salary space, the Celtics don't recommend selling the two leading stars, as long as they can get He Li back from the Bucks.
This deal sounds a bit unbelievable, tantamount to nonsense.
But Bucks general manager Ernie Grunfeld has sold all three Musketeers, as well as Michael Redd.
Among them are three All-Stars and one quasi-All-Star.
And you can also count Alstom, who has the strength of the NBA's starting point guard.
In just half a year, Ernie Grunfeld, as the general manager of the Bucks, sold so many high-quality assets of the Bucks.
Well, even if the Bucks are in charge, He Li, the youngest super giant in the league at the moment, is not completely impossible to be traded by Ernie Grunfeld.
At least, the general manager of the Celtics is not the only one in the league who is dreaming of such a dream.
The 75ers, Pacers and Kings also tried to make an offer with the Bucks.
Whether it is Iverson, Reggie Miller, or Chris Webber, they have all reached the stage of life that requires a championship.
If He Li can join forces, then the possibility of the dream coming true will naturally be greater.
Still, the Bucks aren't that stupid.
Now any contract in the Bucks is a high-quality asset, and none of them can be traded to become more valuable.
Therefore, even based on the contract value, regardless of the overall strength of the team, Bucks general manager Ernie Grunfeld is unlikely to make deals with other teams, let alone sell He Li, the only core of the team.
He Li didn't have much influence on the rumors outside.
However, as the boss of the team and as a former teammate, He Li had to face Reed's questioning.
"Why, why did you trade me? Why don't I know anything? He Li, you must know!"
Reid is not stupid. He is the only All-Star player for the Bucks in the past three years, except for He Li.
The Bucks this season are still in the sequence of continuing to compete for the championship, so if the Bucks trade him, they must communicate with He Li, the leader of the team.
In other words, he was traded by the team, He Li must have agreed, or even proposed by He Li.
Fascinated by the authorities, Reed couldn't figure out why He Li would betray him when he had such a close relationship with He Li.
"You did a lot of things, and more than once.
I looked for you before, and I told you that I hope you can think more about the team.
But, you didn't, you still go your own way, and even hurt the team.
And, as far as I know, you put pressure on management through your agent.
And you also have a negative game performance on the court.
You have crossed the line!This is my team!I don't allow others to hurt it over and over again! "
Since Reid is looking for what he wants to say, He Li will tell the truth.
The NBA is a business league, there is no need to pay attention to what is easy to get together and break up.
Besides, now that He Li has won two consecutive championships in the Bucks, he has Reid, Kwame Brown, Boozer and other helpers.
He Li will have a lot to do in the Bucks in the next few years.
At that time, He Li's reputation and honor will surpass the second person in history in the current ranking - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, that is almost a certainty.
If He Li can be like Jordan, and his home team won six championships and FMVP, then He Li is not hopeless to compete with Jordan, who is the No.1 in history.
All in all, the Bucks will be He Li's team, and it will be so for the next ten years.
Since the Bucks are He Li's team, He Li can naturally decide what kind of people will become his teammates.
Even if Reid wants to return to the Bucks in the next few years, as long as He Li does not allow it, the two will have almost no chance to be teammates again.
As for being an enemy, to put it bluntly, Reed is not qualified enough.
Therefore, there is no need for He Li to be polite to Reid now.
In other words, Reed was very angry when he got the answer, but no matter how upset he was, there was nothing he could do.
Because he was quickly sent out by the Bucks security guard.
In this regard, the Bucks that Reid left, in the next week or so of game time, the Bucks also lacked the immediate combat power of an All-Star star.
As the saying goes, one hair can affect the whole body. After half a season of running-in, the Bucks have finally achieved some results this season.
But because of this transaction, he suddenly didn't know how to play.
It is easy for the team to make trades due to internal turmoil.
Although the cancer was traded away, damage to morale is definitely inevitable.
In addition, after the transaction is completed, the Suns players will not come to the Bucks in an instant. After all, they need to be given some time to prepare and adapt.
Basically, after the All-Star game, the Bucks will be in vain for the immediate combat power of an All-Star star.
For the Bucks, the impact is not small.
Originally, the Bucks this season have achieved a record of 29 wins and 7 losses, and are still in the first place in the Eastern Conference.
Although this season is unlikely to match the Bulls' regular season record of 72 wins like last season, there is still great hope to end the season with more than 60 wins.
But because of the changes before the All-Star Game, the Bucks' record fluctuated and they lost some games that shouldn't be lost.
Even after the All-Star Game, due to the lineup configuration and the integration of new players, the record will continue to decline.
If it is slower, maybe the playoffs will start, and the team hasn't officially run in yet.
And this is an extremely fatal problem for a championship team.
But to put it bluntly, the regular season is still going on, and before the arrival of new players, the games that should be played still have to be played.
The Bucks lacked a core player who averaged 15 shots per game, and he was also the second-highest three-point shooter in the Bucks in terms of production and shooting percentage.
If the Bucks want to maintain a good competitiveness, they must have someone to digest the ball and make up for the shortcomings of the Bucks' offensive end.
On February 2, the Bucks were a guest in the West and met a rather difficult team-the Kings.
The Kings are almost the same as last season. Even if the lineup has not changed, they are still a strong team in the first echelon of the Western Conference under the blessing of the Princeton system.
Compared with the Bucks, the No. 10 in the Eastern Conference, the Kings who were No. [-] in the Western Conference in the first two seasons still lost [-] games and are now temporarily ranked fourth in the Western Conference.
But recently, the Kings have won four consecutive victories, and their overall state is much better than the current internal turmoil of the Bucks.
Not to mention, the Bucks are still playing away in today's game, and it is impossible not to be affected.
"In the past two seasons, the Bucks were the King's sufferers, but now that the Bucks are weak, the Kings may have the opportunity to take revenge."
"There is no doubt that He Li is the best player in the league, but it is a pity that He Li lacks helpers now!
He Li can kill a player, ignore the defense of two players, and even have a good offensive efficiency when surrounded by three players.
But can He Li win the king of team supremacy?Obviously, this is impossible! "
Before the start of the game, based on the current poor condition of the Bucks, the King's live commentary must have more confidence in the King.
But after the game started, the direction of the commentators' commentary changed.
"Kwame Brown gained an advantage during the jump ball with Verati Divac. He Li advanced with the ball, held the ball in the top arc, shot a cold arrow, and made a three-pointer first!"
"He Li is really worthy of it! It can be seen that no difficulty can stop this FMVP!"
He Li took the lead with a three-pointer, which made the on-site commentator lose his temper, and could only keep blowing He Li to death.
But in the next round, the king refused to give an inch and played extremely resolutely.
The ball was sent by Doug Christie, and Mike Bibby advanced quickly with the ball, leading the Kings to start a fast break.
Peja Stojakovic received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right, took a dribble and quickly went inside to kill.
After facing He Li's defense and Kwame Brown's help defense, he still relied on an emergency stop to make a forced shot.
He Li interfered with Peja on this ball, but Peja's emergency stop and mid-range shot proficiency is not low. He just faced the defense of He Li and Kwame Brown and scored the ball.
"Peja Stojakovic lived up to expectations, and responded with a successful mid-range shot in front of He Li!"
The king's offensive rhythm is really good this time. The Bucks' defense is already in place, but the king has done a good job in both passing the ball and grasping the timing of the attack.
Especially Peja, as the end point, relied on his personal strength to score the ball under He Li's defense.
If it were the vast majority of players in the league, under the defensive pressure just now, most of them still had to pass the ball, but Peja completed the offense on his own.
"Suppress the rhythm, they want to consume us, we don't need to be too anxious."
When Payton held the ball for halftime, He Li followed Payton and said this to other teammates.
Now the Bucks' lineup configuration is not very good for fast breaks. On the contrary, the Kings have been affected by the Bucks in the past two seasons. Whether it is offense or defense, the transition is very fast.
Seeing that the King still completed the defensive position, the Bucks didn't need to rush to grab a fast break.
Now that the Bucks are still in a scoring advantage, then it is necessary to grasp the shooting percentage, instead of randomly throwing rebounds, and provide the Kings with a chance to switch.
Soon, Payton passed the ball to He Li. He Li observed the positioning of the Kings players. He first pretended to shoot a three-pointer from the top arc, and then made a feint and passed the ball to Wade who was cutting the basket without the ball.
In recent years, Doug Christie has been one of the best perimeter defensive players in the league. Perhaps Doug Christie's offensive performance is average, but the defense is really strong.
After discovering that Wade used He Li to attract the attention of most of the Kings' players to cut to the basket, Doug Christie quickly followed Wade's footsteps.
After Doug Christie discovered that He Li passed the ball quickly to Wade, Doug Christie seemed to go around in front of Wade and steal it.
It's a pity that Wade's explosive power is too terrifying. Obviously Doug Christie's speed is not slow, but Wade can rely on this step of moving first to firmly surpass Doug Christie by one position.
Immediately after Wade received the ball, he immediately took off and completed a dunk under the basket.
By the time Doug Christie got to the basket, Wade had dunked the ball into the basket.
In the end, Doug Christie could only look at Divac.
Empty cutting and stealing chickens to score is a tactic that all teams in the league have, but there are not many players who can implement this simple tactic and complete these seemingly simple finishes.
The main reason is that there are too many people at the basket these days, and the speed of the forward is not good. It is difficult to receive the ball when the inside player on the opposite side notices the empty cut to the basket.
As for the guard, his stature is too short, even if he receives the ball, it is difficult to make a shot under the basket.
But Wade doesn't have to worry about this. Wade relies on his terrifying speed and jumping ability to cooperate with He Li in an instant and dunk the ball hard into the basket.
With the help of He Li's cooperation with Wade, his assist data has increased slightly recently.
And this is also a tactic tailored by George Karl and Wade.
Of course, if it wasn't for Reed being traded, there would be no one standing in the bottom corner of the Bucks, and no one would be able to contain the opponent and help the team open up space.
Then there is no need for Wade to develop this ability and do things like short cuts.
From another perspective, if Wade can practice three-pointers from the corner, then there is no need to rely on talent to score.
Now that Wade has been traded through Reed, he has gained more opportunities in the Bucks and assumed more responsibilities.
But really, there is still a long way to go, and there are many places that need to be upgraded.
It is worth mentioning that after Reid left the Bucks, the two shooters Juan Dixon and Bobby Simmons also got more opportunities in the Bucks.
The Bucks need them to shoot some three-pointers, and they also want to play their worth in the Bucks to prepare for leaving the Bucks and earning a higher salary contract.
Therefore, the efforts of the two pitchers have also won the recognition of the Bucks.
If it wasn't for Reid being traded, they would have more ball possessions and a chance to show their strength. Other Bucks players couldn't immediately see the true strength of these two pitchers.
However, they are still just role players in the Bucks and cannot really replace Reed's role.
Even Wade is playing better and better now, but when Joe Johnson comes, he will become a backup shooting guard again.
What the Bucks need now is, in the true sense, star-level immediate combat power.
