Chapter 235: Back on Track

"Hey Michael, you looked great tonight, can you tell us what you've done these days?"

Michael Reid was so powerful on the night that attracted a lot of questions from reporters after the game.

"Well, mainly thanks to Yi! He understood my confusion and told me not to have any pressure to play the way I was, and it was his words that made me put down the burden in my heart and be able to put all my energy on the court, and his growth over the year was obvious, he has better leadership skills than me! ”

Michael Reid gave all the credit to Yi Jianlian, and his last sentence made the reporters around him obviously stunned.

He has better leadership skills than I do!

What does this mean?

This is clearly acknowledging the core position of Yi Jianlian!

It's almost like saying that this is Yi Jianlian's team!

Michael Reid delegated power?

This news is undoubtedly exciting!

NBA players have always considered themselves to be the first, especially those who have the ability, and rarely want to be a player like Pippen, who are all running for the team boss.

Why did the Lakers "OK" group disband at its peak? Isn't it just that Kobe Bryant wants to be the boss?

Otherwise, why did the Cavaliers send Ricky Davis away back then? Isn't it this guy who can't figure out his position and hinders LeBron's development?

Including the fact that the Warriors sent Evans away for Curry later, it was the same reason.

In the NBA, the alternation of royal power is never so simple, either the management quickly cuts through the mess and sends one away to train the other, or two players fight inwardly, forcing one away and leaving the other.

But what's going on with the Bucks?

The former boss willingly abdicated to the latecomer?

This Mary Sue love, phew, no, is a friendship story in the NBA has ...... Tim Duncan also successfully completed the handover with David Robinson that year and became the new core, but that was also Popovich's ability to govern the army, where did Xiao K have this ability?

But the first thing Michael Reed said to the media after recovering was to admit that Yi Jianlian is the boss of the Bucks today.

Whose credit should this be?

Could it be that Yi Jianlian's charm is too great?

These reporters couldn't figure it out, and they were still a little unhappy in their hearts, because a potential news hotspot was just gone-Yi Jianlian challenged Michael Reid to snatch the captaincy.

Hey, they even have the title in mind, but Yi Jianlian and Michael Reed played sympathy.

"I'm not surprised that Michael is playing like this, he's an All-Star caliber player and he's proven to be capable of it over the past eight years of his career!"

Naturally, a reporter also asked Yi Jianlian about Michael Reed's recovery tonight, and Yi Jianlian also said better.

In short, there is a harmony.

This is naturally something to be happy about for the media and die-hard fans of Milwaukee, because such a team that successfully completes the transfer of rights is equivalent to eliminating the team's last hidden dangers, and when the regular season is approaching in March, it is undoubtedly conducive to their sprint to a better standings.

***

February 26th.

The Bucks beat the Grizzlies 110-98 at home.

February 28th.

The Bucks beat the Pacers 108-91 on the road.

March 3rd.

The Bucks beat the 76ers 101-89 on the road.

With a three-game winning streak, plus a win over the Bulls, the Bucks' four-game winning streak after a four-game losing streak proved that Michael Reed's return to form was no accident.

During that time, Michael Reed averaged 21.6 points per game, a few points lower than he did last season, but he shot a career-high 49 percent from the field per game.

After gradually becoming familiar with Yi Jianlian's route of breaking through the ball, Michael Reid is more like a fish in water, and often gets the opportunity to shoot in the open space.

It's like going back to a time when he wasn't playing yet, when he often played against him and let him go in order to defend the rest of the core players.

However, compared to the scruples at that time, Michael Reed's counterpoint now sometimes has to leave him to make up for Yi Jianlian.

And the consequence of this is that Michael Reed gets an easy shot!

After a few games, Michael Reid played more and more easily.

In the final game against the 76ers, he even shot 56 percent from the field

An outside player who uses projection as his main means to shoot is not low, and to have such a shooting rate not only proves his shooting skills, but also shows how big his shooting space is.

After all, not everyone is Curry, who can create his own shooting space.

Why is Curry defined as a three-point shooter in the subversive era, the reason is not only his shooting touch, Ray Allen can stand on the three-point line and shoot the ball into the basket in a dark room with almost no vision light turned off, his hand is not necessarily worse than Curry, what really distinguishes Ray Allen from Curry is Curry's ability to control the ball.

A shooter who can create his own shooting space is not just shooting as much as he wants!

It's ridiculous that Kerr is incarnated as a "master of the ball" and uses Curry as a traditional shooter, which is really a waste of talent.

And with this wave of four consecutive wins.

Yi Jianlian also won the last week of February.

In three games that week, he averaged 26 points, 7 rebounds and 9.5 assists per game, as well as 1.5 steals and 2 blocks.

It can also be seen from this data that the recovery of Michael Reed's state has increased Yi Jianlian's assists, and because Michael Reed is not as effective in defense as Courtney Lee, Yi Jianlian has to devote some energy to defense, which has also led to a decline in his average points per game, but the data of steals and blocks have risen a lot.

With this all-round data, Yi Jianlian once again won the best of the week after two weeks.

However, it is a bit of a pity that the Magic team has also won consecutive games recently and still holds the second place in the East.

This made Milwaukee fans a little depressed, the Bucks had fallen before, but chased it back in a few games, and this time the Magic seemed to have lasted a little long!

It's no wonder that it's the end of the season, and everyone is trying to climb the rankings, and no one wants to be overtaken by others at the end of the season.

Especially the Magic and the Bucks, they are ranked second and third in the East, and with the strength of these top eight teams in the East this year, the second round of the playoffs is likely to be the Bucks playing the Magic.

Whoever is second and third determines who has home-court advantage, and home-court advantage in the playoffs has a good chance of determining the outcome of a series.

It's all going for the final championship, can you fight it!

It's just that our Bucks' four-game winning streak has returned to the right track, and it is impossible to say anything to keep you in second place!

Be sure to grab it back!
