Chapter 162: Winning Streak for a While~ (1/3)
From the moment the win over the Green Shirts began, the team was ready to play!
They're going to win against the Rockets. Then the ranking first moved into eighth place in the East!
As arranged by Coach Kidd. They should end up in 6th or 7th place in the East. Then play against the teams in 2nd or 3rd place in the East.
At the current Eastern Conference standings, the Cavaliers are No. 2 and the Wizards are No. 3
Neither team is weak. But comparatively, the Wizards are slightly more capable of playing.
The teams currently ranked 3rd-5th in the East are highly competitive! If nothing else, the Celtics should be able to move up to No. 5 and then play the first round of the playoffs against the Bulls.
According to calculations, even if the team loses one game during this period, it will eventually enter the eighth place in the East with a win against the Rockets. But the Bucks didn't lose a single game!
This game between the Bucks and the Rockets on the Internet has also become more and more popular!
The Bucks are currently on a 15-game winning streak! And the Rockets are now on an 11-game winning streak! The Bucks are five games away from the team's all-time winning streak! The Rockets are 11 games away.
Harden has said more than once in the media that he can't wait to play this game against the Milwaukee team!
The team ranked 9th in the East, and the Rockets, who are known as the "Warriors nemesis" this season, have squeezed out the Spurs and ranked 2nd in the West at this time!
Teams that play against the Rockets know that if you get too close to Harden, you're in danger of six fouls leaving the court. This is true regardless of the session of the game.
Playing in one season so far, many teams feel it. The referees on the field are too "oriented" to Team Rocket!
The Bucks now have a lot more training for their players.
They are also starting to make the final push for this season.
A week before the game against the Rockets, Kidd began to ramp up his workout! And his players still complained, but in the end everyone endured.
On this day, the Houston Rockets players came to the Bradley Center arena to start training.
There were a lot of reporters at the scene, but in the end, they were not allowed to enter the stadium for interviews. The Rockets adopted a closed training mode.
The Bucks, a team that has been rotten for a long time, are now on a 15-game winning streak?!
Whoever hears this news will feel incredible.
At this time, the Rockets had won 11 in a row. Of course, they don't want to lose to the Milwaukee Bucks on the road tonight. In the opponent's home stadium, it is still difficult for them.
The Bucks have had an interesting season. They've had infighting, the team is disorganized, the players are working together. The coach's tasks are not assigned reasonably, etc.
But this team has also played a lot of highlights!
Quite a few big-name teams have been beaten by the Bucks here! Playing against this team doesn't mean you can win just if you want to.
It's like the top laner hero is a guy with a strong ability to regenerate. You think you're going to kill him with a knife, but there's nothing wrong with them.
You watch as the other party quickly regains health in the final exchange, and finally knocks you down and successfully harvests the human head and pushes the tower directly
The Bucks are such a team that they can slowly wear down with you to the end. You think you're stable, but you take over your opponent and turn the tide in the end!
With the same ranking, the West now averages 69 more wins per game than the East!
Judging from this year's data, the western teams are still better than the eastern teams as a whole. Not to mention the two teams that are now 7 places behind in the rankings.
The Bucks know that in order to win against the Rockets, they must first control the number of fouls.
Then it's about defending with the opponent and the three-point shot. Needless to say, the Warriors' offense this season is ten.
But they met the Rockets twice in the regular season and ended in defeat.
The Rockets are also very simple and rude with the Warriors. That's you and me three points, let's compete in this game to the end!
The Warriors are not as good as the Rockets in terms of defense, turnovers, fouls and offensive efficiency.
The evaluation of the Rockets on the Internet this season is more controversial.
On the one hand, the Rockets are a team that is very good in the regular season and is dumb in the playoffs. They went into the playoffs, either Harden couldn't play, or they were full of turnovers and fouls.
When it comes to the playoffs, it's like it's time to settle accounts with the Rockets, and a season's misjudgment or opportunity for the Rockets seems to have been recovered in the playoffs.
D'Antoni was so angry that he thundered on the sidelines, and Harden's signature hand-to-hand moves didn't work at all.
The referee's attitude was that we accept you to watch the replay after the game. But we do not accept rebuttals.
So, if the Bucks can really make it to the Finals this season. Kidd wasn't too worried about ending up with the Rockets.
Because in the second or first round, the referee "attacked" the Rockets.
You have to admit that sometimes the referees have their cuteness. For example, they invited the troublesome opponent directly out of the playoffs~
But such a team still deserves to be taken seriously by the Bucks.
They are different from the Warriors, for example, the Warriors players have a very clear division of labor. Green, you're done defending. Thompson, defense + three-point is his standard.
Curry is a combination of playmaking + three-point ability. The Rockets are different, with a lot of players who can do anything.
The value for money is quite high. But judging from the usual game effect, the Rockets have similarities with the Warriors.
For example, the Rockets have placed a high priority on three-point shooting this season! They can very easily turn over the opponent in a game that they can play directly!
Don't talk nonsense to us on the Internet, let's touch it in reality~ Finally, see if the referee punishes you and it's over~
And then there's their high explosive kill, which is the main feature of Team Rocket on the field! And now they still have Warcraft under the basket, which is the biggest headache for the Warriors this season!
It's as if you usually have skills, but you end up encountering a Krypton player
Houston made a lot of effort to find the top Warcraft in the league! Just ask if you're afraid, at least you can't hold the ball and be tough with the opponent's Howard in the game, right?
So as long as the Monster is there on the Bucks' interior defense, there is nothing they can do. There aren't many opportunities to give the Bucks.
What they need is the constant and efficient cooperation between their teammates, and the movement of the players on the field is also very important!
The players don't need to be supervised, they are in the same mood as the coaching staff right now! That is, hurry up and get into the top 8!
Kidd: "It's about the same as when we had a strong team at the beginning of the season. I'll just catch a little bit in this game to see who has fewer mistakes.
You know, we're going to play the playoffs right away. Some time ago, the management said that the team could make the playoffs. Hum bullshit! ”
Some of the Bucks players present were in their hearts, "Coach, if you want to do this, then you are really pure masters~"
Kidd: "The team's ability to play such a ranking actually has something to do with the management. You didn't have your phone, did you? ”
Parker: "Coach, don't worry. We're not going to record what you say. We've been listening to it for a long time~"
The players around him laughed. Parker's serious expression softened a bit.
Kidd: "That's right. The first round of the playoffs was a good game. If the Cavaliers end up meeting us, we're going to eliminate them as well. The next competition will also enter the assessment.
The data assistant coach told you about this a few days ago, right? I'll look at what he counts. If you don't perform well, you can be more spectators in the playoffs."
The coach's form in recent games has become more and more strange.
As a player on the team, you can't say much. For example, Kidd's recent performances have been like a natural thing for them to win. is very calm, and he is not excited when he looks at his expression.
His facial expression is calm, and he even looks like he wants to laugh.
This season, Antetokounmpo, Parker and Li Feng have earned back the ticket money. The management, on the other hand, did not expect the team to make the playoffs in the end
Their idea is very simple, Parker, who is in high order, Li Feng, an Asian player, and the letters they have carefully cultivated in recent years, just have these players to attract fans to buy tickets~
I have to say that the Rockets and Bucks have made a lot of money on this over the years.
But as a player, playing at Bradley Center, home of the Bucks, is sometimes cool.
The fans at the scene are full at every turn! When there's a huge crowd of fans cheering you and your team on during a game, it's satisfying to be on the sidelines.
Sometimes for a moment, it feels like your body is full of energy. This energy seems to be like an extra skill bonus given to you by the fans!
The Rockets players took to the court one after another, and the fans in the stadium cheered, and even some boos could be heard inside
And when the Bucks players came on the court, the sound of the scene was several times higher!
The Rockets' players had calm facial expressions. It didn't take long for them to start warming up on the field. There wasn't much communication between the players either. On the other side, the Bucks are relaxed.
The final opponent's starting lineup was Howard, Josh, Ariza, Harden and Terry!
Ariza used to be a young man who left Houston a little younger, but now he's stronger and more mature when he returns to the Rockets!
There is also a veteran Terry who has a more explosive temper and is still outstanding in the team. There's Warcraft on the inside, and Magneto on the outside!
Harden, who was beaten by the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs last season, was unhappy in his heart. This season is a clear indication of his improvement on the field!
The lineup on the Bucks' side is Hansen, Antetokounmpo, Ilyasova, Li Feng and Mayo!
Hansen got 5 rebounds and 5 blocks in the last game! His rebounds also set a new record since he came to the NBA! The highest rebounding record last time was 13 in a single game.
It was clear from the usual discussions that the team had to establish a starting center as soon as possible.
Both O'Bryant III and Pachulia tried, but ultimately felt that Hansen was better suited for the starting center forward position.
Decent to be able to grab rebounds and pass the ball. That's it. And Hansen has the least number of turnovers right now.
When encountering an opponent who is very capable in all aspects. Indeed, less mistakes are earned!
If you can get a few more points quickly during this period, it can play a positive role for the whole game.
Li Feng told his little sister about the game over the phone. The final poisoned milk rating in the system is 2 stars
The poisoned milk with a rating of 2 stars is basically "milk" for the Rocket team, but playing against a strong team like the Rocket, not 1 star, Li Feng feels that there is still hope.
After all, Li Xiaomei's poisoned milk rating is not absolute. Like Li Chaoyue and Lin Xiao, they usually chat with Li Feng about the NBA, and they are basically more amateurish.
In their minds, that's it. The Bucks have almost no chance of winning~ But this season, the Bucks are in the impression of a considerable number of such fans, and they are about to enter the playoff list step by step!
The basketball was thrown into the air, and Warcraft got the basketball very easily! After receiving the ball, Harden watched Li Feng come to the frontcourt! Josh gets his pass and throws it straight to Terry.
The latter jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot! Throw three points at the start of the game!
Unlike the previous teams, the Rockets are more than capable of completely beating the Bucks into garbage time in the first half!
Mayo passed the ball to Parker in the middle of the half, who calmly waited for his teammates to settle next to Josh.
Mirror Drop Position Play! When playing against opponents of this level, it is better to have a simpler tactic.
Harden watched the basketball and threw it at Li Feng. His body soon came to Li Feng, who had just reached the bottom corner.
When Li Feng was about to jump up, he suddenly retracted his action and smashed the ball directly into Harden's leg
Harden "??? ”
Li Feng: "The referee passed the ball and was kicked out by Harden. Kicking the ball and going out of bounds, you choose."
Referee: "Count out of bounds"
Embarrassment from Harden +173!
Li Feng, do you have to be more honest with me in fouls? Hehe!
This Harden is really a player who was taken care of by various referees in the regular season! Isn't that kicking?
Ilyasova went to the sideline to serve the ball to Mayo. Now that they are facing a team that is difficult to trigger on fouls, they are also in the game like a Hollywood actor possessed.
Then in the game, the players on their Bucks' side have to learn smarter.
Li Feng scored a jump shot immediately after receiving Mayo's ground-hitting pass!
It didn't take long for Harden to directly let the alphabet receive the first foul of the game and score 2+1!
Feeling wronged, he explained to the referee, but the other party didn't listen. There, he watched with his hands on his hips as Harden made the ball in.
The camera goes to Kidd. He nodded. Team Rocket's purpose is clear. Parker didn't catch it, so he let Antetokounmpo get the foul first.
When basketball came to Li Feng, the fans at the scene were excited. He dribbled along the sideline, and the Rockets players didn't dare to go up to defend him.
Just that time Harden went out of bounds. If it were on the others, it might be kicking the ball!
Li Feng wanted to run from the sideline to the midfield, but Harden couldn't see Terry, so he took a deep breath and ran towards Li Feng.
