Chapter 514: Headache Advanced Mission
Dealing with this kind of bottom-level opponent, the Dragon Slayer Warriors will naturally win easily, purely in terms of current strength, the Dragon Slayer Warriors should be in the upper middle of the current 78 teams!
This is a very embarrassing grade, high is not low, if it is at the bottom of the grade, then the round-robin loss will be lost, anyway, there is no expectation, and now the competitiveness of the Dragon Slayer Warriors is indeed there, but not strong enough, if you want to compete for the final championship, you must continue to enhance your own strength!
In the second game of this round-robin, the Dragon Slayer Warriors team finally won easily, Li Tuanjie's performance in this game was okay, and the players opposite him were just ordinary hosts in the S+ level, Li Tuanjie used his crazy pull rod skills plus three-point projection with a low shooting rate, and scored 30 points in this game, and the performance was okay!
After the first two games, the watershed between the two groups appeared, there are still 10 teams in Group A that have won all of them, and there are still nine teams undefeated in Group B, and the Dragon Slayer Warriors currently have a record of one win and one loss, ranking outside the top ten in Group A.
……
The second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bucks and the Magic officially starts tonight, and it is still the home court of the Bucks.
And at the moment when Li Tuanjie walked out of the locker room passage, the system task was triggered again.
The task that was triggered this time was not a mandatory task, but an advanced task of the title system, which made Li Tuanjie a little surprised.
It is true that this title advanced task, since it only crossed a small rank, even if Li Tuanjie completed the task, his strength would only be slightly improved.
But it's always good to have an improvement!
The only thing that makes Li Tuanjie a little unfettered is that the mission objectives of this title's advanced mission are ......
"Mission Objective: Command your teammates to win the game when the host is not on the field!"
The goal of this mission is really painful for Li Tuanjie, and there is such a strange advanced task to win the game when the host cannot appear......
Li Tuanjie is beating the drum in his heart, he is still quite familiar with the strength of Magic, with the Magic lineup, if Li Tuanjie does not play on the Bucks' side, then Howard will be no one to suppress this point, and the game will be difficult to play at that time!
The reason why the Bucks were able to win the Magic so easily in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals was that Li Tuanjie maintained this suppression of the monster Howard in the restricted area, causing Howard to not play his due role!
And now Li Tuanjie can't play, with Marc Gasol or Gortat, it is difficult to suppress Howard, who is currently the league's No. 1 center.
However, even if it is difficult, Li Tuanjie has to bite the bullet, because this title advanced task, once the task fails, the punishment is still very much, and Li Tuanjie will be permanently deducted 20% of all attributes!
"Brothers, I can't play in this game, I have to rely on you to win the game!" Li united on the sidelines and said to his many teammates.
The Bucks generals were stunned, they didn't know what was going on, it seemed that Li Tuanjie was not injured, why didn't he play?!
Li Tuanjie wanted to find a reason, such as a bad stomach or hip muscle tension, and other similar reasons, but after thinking about it, there was no need to curse himself like this......
Now that Lee Tuanjie has decided not to play, Stotts can only come up with another starting lineup, that is, to put Millsap in the position of power forward.
As a result, the Bucks' starting lineup became that of Marc Gasol, Paul Millsap, Ron Artest, Mike Reed, and Rajon Rondo.
With such a starting lineup, if all the players are at their peak, they must have the strength to compete for the championship, and even the probability of winning the championship is still very high!
But at the moment, Marc Gasol and Millsap and others are newcomers after all, and they are still some distance from their peak, so it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose after this lineup is on the stage.
Li Tuanjie didn't dare to guarantee that his starting lineup would definitely win the Magic, after all, the Magic's lineup would reach the finals in the future.
……
Li Tuanjie, wearing a training uniform, stood with Stotts and paid close attention to the situation on the field, now Li Tuanjie has experienced so many large-scale games, in terms of the ability to analyze and interpret the game, he is not weaker than Stotts at all, once the situation on the field is unfavorable, he can also come up with reasonable tactical arrangements in a timely manner.
……
At the start of the game, Marc Gasol and Howard walked to the halfcourt line to execute the jump ball, and the result was naturally needless to say, Howard won the jump ball and got the first offensive round for the Magic.
Li Tuanjie stood on the sidelines, watching this game, and it felt quite amazing!
At this moment, Li Tuanjie feels like a coach......
Stotts didn't feel so good, standing on the sidelines with the very strong Lee, he felt like he had dropped a notch in an instant, from the head coach of the Bucks to the position of assistant coach......
……
At the beginning, the Magic saw that Li Tuanjie did not appear on the stage, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the buck gourd, they only knew that they had to take advantage of Li Tuanjie's absence to score more points and try to play a huge advantage, only in this way did their Magic have a glimmer of hope of winning!
Howard lost the restriction of Li Tuanjie and played very bravely, receiving an empty pass from Ramon Sessions on the outside in the opening game, making a violent dunk, and the second offensive round also caused a foul on Marc Gasol, making one of two free throws from the free throw line!
The first two offensive rounds on the Bucks' side were not smooth, all of them ended in iron, and the offensive rebounds were not protected......
The Bucks fans at the scene were extremely entangled, they couldn't figure out why Li Tuanjie chose not to start at this time, after all, there is no news about Li Tuanjie being plagued by injuries, and then looking at Li Tuanjie standing on the sidelines and looking alive, he will definitely be able to appear!
"Could it be that the Bucks want to practice in the playoffs?! That's a bit too much, isn't it?! ”
"I don't know what Stotts was thinking......"
"Let's wait and see, maybe this match will surprise us!"
Poor Stotts has become the one who carries the black pot again......
……
In the first two minutes of the game, the Magic played a small climax of 5:0, and the situation on the court was extremely unfavorable for the Bucks!
But the starting lineup on the Bucks' side is not a soft persimmon, and the biggest reason why they fell behind at the beginning was that Li Tuanjie was suddenly not on the court, which caused them to be a little uncomfortable!
In the past games, Li Tuanjie was almost shoulder-to-shoulder, the all-round king on the field, and Li Tuanjie would appear in almost any corner of the field, whether it was the defensive end or the offensive end, Li Tuanjie played a mainstay role on the field!
And now that Li Tuanjie is not there, it is very normal for these starters of the Bucks to not adapt for a while, and after a short three-minute adaptation time, they have finally found their own rhythm of the game!
Even if Li Tuanjie is not there, the starting lineup of the Bucks is actually luxurious, Artest and Reed, two All-Star level players, with the best of the three newcomers, are also very powerful!
The momentum of the magic attack was immediately cut off by the awakened stag, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle!
"My God, the Bucks were able to tie with the Magic when Li Tuanjie wasn't there?! No wonder the Bucks were able to play the Violent Magic so easily in the first game, it turns out that the strength of the two teams is really not at the same level! ”
Seeing that the Bucks were still only five points behind after the first ten minutes of the first quarter of the game, it is equivalent to saying that after the Magic played that wave of small climaxes, the scores of the two sides were basically equal!
The Magic called a timeout and replaced the Monster Howard and Ramon Sessions, and now the Magic side didn't know that Li Tuanjie would not appear in this game, so they naturally didn't dare to consume Howard's physical strength too much in the first half......
There are still two minutes left before the end of the first quarter of the game to call a timeout, and Li Tuanjie doesn't have to think about it to know that the Magic side must be changing formations!
Li Tuanjie was not ambiguous here, and directly pointed out five players, and came with a five-up and five-down!
Gortat, Thaddeus Young, Grant Hill, Sun Yue and Kyle Lowry are on the scene!
Nick Yang, who didn't get the chance to appear, looked embarrassed, he originally thought that he was extremely valued by Li Tuanjie, but on such an important occasion now, Li Tuanjie didn't put Nick Yang on the court......
At present, the Bucks' roster is not full of 15 players, only 14 people, and if you remove two leftovers, there are only 12 players left......
In this game, Li Tuanjie did not appear, and Nick Yang did not dare to rush into the game......
Nick Yang is the kind of player who puts him on the field to gamble, if the team is currently behind by a big score, Li Tuanjie will definitely put Nick Yang on the court and gamble desperately, and now the situation between the two sides is basically evenly matched......
If Li Tuanjie and Nick Young will not play, it means that there are only 10 players left to play in this game on the Bucks' side!
Five up and five down is the tactics formulated by Li Tuanjie for this game, the first set of lineups, the strength can be tied with the pure starting lineup of the Magic, and the strength of the second set of lineups is not as good as the first set, but the overall strength should not be underestimated.
At least according to Li Tuanjie's estimate, the second set of lineups composed of Gortat, Old Hill and Little Steel Cannon is not a big problem to play those teams at the bottom of the East......
Soon, the timeout ended, and the two sides returned to the field again!
The Bucks' five-up-five-down tactics made the fans on the scene exclaim again......
Generally speaking, the tactical arrangement of five up and five down occurs when the team is behind and gives up resistance or the team is ahead by a big score, and if you continue to play, there is a suspicion of scoring points, in this case, the team head coach will choose to use the tactic of five up and five down.
Of course, the last possibility is not ruled out, that is, punitive five up and five down, for example, Spurs head coach Popovich is used to using this kind of punitive measures, the main starters play a mess on the court, Popovich will directly remove all the starters, replace them with a pure substitute lineup, and let the starters sit on the bench and reflect on it......
Needless to say, fans who don't know what is going on are naturally going to start blaming Stotts for messing around again......
……
The appearance of the second team of the Bucks has achieved good results from the beginning!
Gortat's point made the magic a little unable to deal with it, and Gortat was originally exchanged by Lee Tuanjie and Ramon Sessions from the Magic, which caused Gortat to get excited as soon as he hit the Magic......
Among all the centers in the league today, the first-line centers are naturally those all-star-level centers, or a very small number of those who have the strength of an all-star center-level but have not been selected as an All-Star.
After the first-line center, there is a second-line center, there is no doubt that the current Bucks Marc Gasol and Gortat are both second-line centers, Mark Gasol belongs to the second-line center is stronger, and Gortat belongs to the second-line center The strength is more ordinary.
Even so, because the Magic traded Gortat, they can't even get a third-line center in the team at present, and there is only one leftover center who is not in the stream, how can he be Gortat's opponent!
In the opening three offensive rounds, Gortat grabbed two offensive rebounds and scored a dunk that completely blew the opposing Magic center into a hammer.
Although Lowry served as the point guard of the second team, his organizational ability was still not good because of some immature reasons, so in this lineup, Grant Hill served as the central axis player on the court, and the effect was excellent!
There is an old family, if there is a treasure, Grant Hill, a living fossil-level player in the league today, can indeed find a direction for this group of newcomers to work the court......
Li Tuanjie is extremely glad that he was wise and signed Grant Hill for only five million dollars, it is true that Grant Hill is not very good in terms of statistics this season because of the limitation of playing time, but as long as he is on the court for one minute, with his efficiency at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the court, the salary of five million dollars is extremely valuable!
Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first quarter of the game, the original five-point difference was completely erased by the second team of the Bucks, and the scores of the two sides were completely tied!
……
Li Tuanjie couldn't help but be overjoyed off the court, according to this situation, as long as it stabilizes, it doesn't seem too difficult to win the magic!
He was happy, the Bucks fans on the scene suffered, and the fans who were used to seeing the Bucks win the game were extremely difficult to accept that the Bucks drew with their opponents in the first quarter!
