The Bucks lost Game 1 at home, which was something that many Milwaukee fans didn't expect, especially since they didn't lose badly, but were pressed all the way and died slowly.

This should be the most unspeakable way to lose.

And this seems to prove that there is indeed a gap between the Bucks and the Magic.

No Milwaukee fans want to admit it.

But in the second game, the Bucks lost again, and it was the same loss, and the Bucks' backcourt two shots were blown up from the beginning, and their defense was almost like paper.

"It's a pity that Yi, he got a triple-double of 26 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists today, but he still lost!"

"No way, the defense at the back is too weak, in fact, Courtney should not be allowed to play as a substitute!"

"You can see it when you play the heat! Courtney Lee's defense is definitely better than Michael's, but he didn't attack, and letting him go to the second team can neither fill the lack of firepower in the second team, nor can he play his defensive role! ”

Bucks fans have poisonous eyes, and they immediately found the point of losing, which is the Bucks' backcourt defense.

"The Bucks' ferocious firepower in the regular season covered up their defensive weakness in the backcourt, Michael Reed's scoring ability is still very efficient when he returns from injury, but his defensive awareness is not so easy to get back, maybe I can say that the grown up Mo Williams and the now returning Michael Reed are the same type of players, the two of them may be able to play ferocious firepower in the regular season with the backcourt to cover up some defensive problems, but once they come to the playoff stage, those problems that are covered up by them, It became the deadliest problem, and the Bucks lost two games here! ”

Perhaps, Larry was aware of this problem in the first-round series, and he used Courtney Lee heavily, and the result of that was a 4-0 win over the Heat by the Bucks. But what he didn't realize was that the Magic had a stronger team than the Heat, and they could take advantage of the opportunity to play the point difference, so even if Courtney Lee was on the court, it wouldn't change the game so easily. ”

"It's time for Larry to decide, whether to put Michael Reid on the bench or Mor Williams on the bench, maybe he can try both, but there really aren't many opportunities left for him!"

SLAM published a more detailed analysis of these two games, and at the end of the article, it suggested that the little k put one of Mo Williams or Michael Reed on the bench.

This suggestion...... It really went to Xiao K's heart.

He specifically approached Michael Reid and had a detailed conversation with him.

"Michael, I know it's very difficult to get you off the bench, you're an All-Star, you're the heart of the Bucks, but in the current situation, you and Mo have to have someone to take on the second team's scoring, I believe in you, and I believe this will be an opportunity for us to turn the tables around! And, don't forget how much Yi wants to win this series! ”

"Okay!"

Little K said everything, and Michael Reed also agreed to be on the second team.

I thought that in this way, the backcourt defense of the first team has been improved, the firepower of the second team has also been supplemented, and the horn of counterattack should be blown.

Results.

107-97, the Bucks suffered another defeat at Amway Arena.

Little K's change of formation was half successful, Courtney Lee entered the starting lineup, the backcourt defense did improve, the Bucks and the Magic team were deadlocked from the beginning, but when it came to the rotation lineup, the Bucks' second lineup was dumb, JJ Redick scored 3 three-pointers alone, on the other hand, Michael Reed, 4 shots 0, the state suddenly slumped.

"No one on the second team can open up the line for Michael Reed, all the players are going towards him, and his shooting space is greatly compressed!"

Brin, the ESPN commentator who commented on the game, looked at Michael Reid's difficult shot on the court and calmly explained why.

It was also at this moment that many fans and many experts discovered that it was not that Michael Reed's condition had recovered so well, but that the presence of Yi Jianlian helped him attract too much defensive attention.

"Michael Reid can't be in the second team, he can only be in the first team, and he also needs Yi's support!"

K's first change of formation failed, but he knew that Courtney Lee's decision to enter the starting lineup was very correct, and his defense could release Yi Jianlian to a certain extent.

Although Yi Jianlian lost this game, he scored 35 points, which was a new high in this round of the series.

Since Michael Reid can't bring rhythm in the second team, he has to put another guy on the bench!

"Mo, the second lineup is handed over to you!"

"Okay!"

Mo Williams agreed, anyway, it may be the last game, and the coach will do what he says!

It's time to win this time, right?

Little K muttered in his heart.

But when the fourth game is over, he is not good!

The Bucks are losing again!

110 to 101, a loss of 9 points......

It's not that there is a problem with the defense in the backcourt, nor is there a problem with the scoring of the second team, these two points are solved very well, but Mo Williams does not play at the same time as Yi Jianlian, and there is one less point on the court that can host the ball and attack, as a result, the Magic team infinitely encapsulated Yi Jianlian and asked him to hand over the ball to others.

Michael Reid, Courtney Lee, Ilyasova and Bogut are all players who don't have the ability to handle the ball, and a series of mistakes can ruin the good game.

After 4 consecutive defeats, the Bucks ended the journey of the 08~09 season playoffs under the taunts of Orlando fans.

Yi Jianlian's mood was not very high at the post-game press conference, he simply answered a few and left, and although Xiao K was answering questions throughout the whole process, it could be seen that his mind was not at the press conference.

As for the other guys who returned to the locker room early, it was rare that they didn't make any noise, and they all sat silently.

They all know one thing very well, the Bucks lost to the Magic in such a humiliating way, and what awaits their group is definitely one trade after another.

Although it is not known how many people will leave.

But there's definitely going to be a big change in the Bucks' roster.

I don't know where tomorrow will be, where will they still be in the mood to talk or do other things?

"Michael?" Yi Jianlian returned to the locker room, but saw Michael standing alone outside the locker room, as if waiting for someone, so he called out.

Michael Reed walked up, forced a laugh, and said, "I'm sorry, Yi, it's me who dragged you down!" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Yi Jianlian to say anything, he turned around and left, and he didn't even enter the locker room, no matter how Yi Jianlian shouted at him, he didn't look back.

Yi Jianlian reluctantly returned to the locker room, and just took out his mobile phone when he received a call from Dan Fagan.

"Hey!" Dan Fagan's tone was a little serious, "Hammond just called me and said that Michael Reed's agent had just officially applied to him for a trade application, well, I wanted to ask your opinion!" ”

"What?" Yi Jianlian frowned, and understood why Michael Reed was waiting for him just now.

It seems that the decision has been made!

"I respect Michael's choice."
