Chapter 392: Winning the Bull
Marc Gasol's low-post offensive skills are good, and Li Tuanjie mainly wants Marc Gasol to perform well in this game, so if he has the ball in his hand, most of them will pass to Marc Gasol and let him single Joaquin Noah!
For Marc Gasol's start, Gazuric and Vallejo must have dissatisfaction in their hearts, but Li Tuanjie believes that it won't be long before Marc Gasol can conquer these two with his performance!
Joaquin Noah's skills belong to that kind of rough man, his body is good, but his offensive skills are very rough, and he doesn't have too strong offensive ability, and Marc Gasol has no pressure to defend.
After the first quarter of the game, the Bucks led by eight points, and it can be seen that the overall strength of the two teams is not on the same level at all.
Artest only shot twice in this quarter of the game and scored a mere two points, but the defensive efficiency was very high, and Lu Erdeng, who was opposite him, only scored three points, you must know that Lu Erdeng made five shots in the first quarter!
And Mike Reed and Rondo didn't shoot much, Rondo didn't mention it for the time being, his offense was basically ignored, Reed made five shots in the first quarter and scored 7 points, and the efficiency was okay.
Li Tuanjie's side has been feeding the ball to Marc Gasol, so the number of shots is not very many!
On the Bucks' side, the most shots in the game was a rookie Marc Gasol, who had ten shots in the first quarter, scored four of them, and made a defensive foul on Noah, making one of two free throws!
A total of 9 points!
scored 9 points in a single quarter, which is already a very shocking statistic for a rookie, of course, Mark Jr.'s shooting rate is a little low, which is purely normal, and LeBron James and Durant's rookie season shooting percentage is not much higher.
As long as Mark Gasol dares to fight, Li Tuanjie will dare to pass on, and now Li Tuanjie's purpose is to cultivate Marc Gasol well!
……
Marc Gasol, a little fat man, has been treated like a little chubby that has really made other rookies blush, and it feels like Li Tuanjie has cultivated Marc Gasol in the direction of core players? They all sighed at Little Mark's good luck!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the core players of both sides sat on the court to rest, preseason, there is no need to work hard, everyone just play a dozen and go through the motions!
The Bucks' Big Three plus Rondo are all gone, leaving only one Marc Gasol on the court, replaced by Ramon Sessions, Nick Young, Grant Hill and Millsap!
After the start of the second quarter of the game, the four newcomers couldn't see that Li Tuanjie wanted to focus on cultivating Marc Gasol, and they all fed Marc Gasol as much as possible!
Li Tuanjie sat on the field and chatted with the generals, but his eyes observed Grant Hill, there is no doubt that Grant Hill, who has experienced several major injuries, is now very careful to protect himself on the field......
Li Tuanjie wanted to tell Hill that he had the ability to heal bone injuries, but if he said this out of thin air, I am afraid that Hill would not believe it, so he could only wait for Hill to be injured......
Ramon Sessions, like Rondo, also refused to shoot, had a terrible shooting percentage, and after hitting two irons, he simply stopped shooting and began to defend and organize with all his might.
Nick Young is not bad, dare to hit and dare to shoot, although the hit rate is embarrassing, but the courage is commendable!
As a newcomer, the most fatal flaw is that you are tied up on the field, as long as you are constrained, it will definitely be difficult to play statistics, so it is strange that your career can grow......
As for Millsap, after a season of tempering, he has now become more mature, and in the absence of Lee, he is now basically the leader of the bench.
Don't look at the Bucks' current basic pure bench lineup, but the Bulls are still powerless, and the score is further stretched.
Fans watching the game exclaimed, in just one season, the Bucks' bench, which was originally weak enough to be the best in the league, has become so strong?!
"Obediently, the Bucks' bench player is a little violent, you look at Nick Young, he shoots when he catches the ball, he doesn't have stage fright at all, the new little fat center seems to be very powerful, the unknown point guard, it feels like Rondo's No. 2 ......"
"It's really powerful, Millsap has grown up a season and has now become a lot more mature, it is no exaggeration to say that Millsap's current ability is in most teams in the league, and he is qualified to be the main starter, but in the talented Bucks, he can only play as a substitute!"
"The Bucks signed Grant Hill, but it is also benevolent, it seems that the Suns only gave Grant Hill the price of the veteran's base salary, which is much less than the Bucks' 4-year $20 million contract......
If Li Tuanjie knew this, I am afraid he would laugh, he signed Grant Hill, not only benevolence, but Grant Hill is definitely worth the price, and it is also very valuable, Grant Hill does not have to worry about injuries at all, with an average of 20 minutes of playing time per game, it is easy to show you the data of about 10 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists!
Such a veteran with instant combat power and more than 10 years of competition experience, with an annual salary of only five million US dollars, is simply not too valuable.
Next, the Bucks put other rookies on the court to practice, and all of them performed well, Sun Yue appeared for about five minutes, shot two balls, and got a steal, and his performance was not bad!
In the whole game, Li Tuanjie only played for 20 minutes, and easily cut down the quasi-triple-double data of 14 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists.
In addition to Li Tuanjie, Artest and Mike Reed also played about 20 minutes, just warming up and going through the motions.
In the end, the Bucks relied on the hard work of a group of young players to win the preseason opener and successfully defeated the Bulls!
Although it was only a preseason game and the opponent was only a declining Bull, the Bucks won the opponent so lightly when the Big Three basically did not appear much, which really made all Bucks fans rejoice!
Obviously, this season's Bucks have been dramatically improved, and they are by no means comparable to the Bucks of last season!
And last season's Bucks have been able to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, and this season's Bucks must be able to go far in the playoffs!.
