Seeing that his team could not narrow the difference, Karl scratched his head in annoyance on the sidelines. As an offensive head coach, Karl has always felt that he can win the game with more crazy offensive firepower than his opponent, so he doesn't pay much attention to defense, but in this game he suddenly found that such a simple and effective routine no longer worked.

In fact, in the regular season, although the Bucks were at a disadvantage against the 76ers, Karl never thought that his team would be powerless, after all, the players played their usual style in the game. However, in this game, the 76ers unexpectedly sacrificed defense, and it was the most annoying physical confrontation defense for the offensive team.

At this time, Karl has some doubts about his offseason reinforcements and even team building ideas, is it really impossible for such a purely offensive team to reach the highest stage? If Chang Wei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him that the answer to this question did not need to be discussed at all. Although the Warriors who will change the color of the league in the future are also a projection outside and a defensive interior configuration, their defense is also the best in the league, and the current Bucks obviously can't do it.

Compared to that Warriors, what the Bucks lack the most is a center that combines defense and playmaking at the same time, Chang Wei believes that players like Draymond Green do not exist in this era, maybe in high school basketball and college basketball, but the general manager of any team should not choose a tall and average projection interior player in the draft, especially when he does not show the potential to be Ben Wallace.

But it didn't take long for Carl to make up his mind to continue playing his own style of tactical system, even if he was limited by his opponents. A lot of managers have only one style in their lives, maybe they will absorb something new to add to it, but in fact, they have never given up on the original intention, and Karl is such a stubborn person.

However, his stubbornness did not help to win the game, and as the game progressed, the player's physical strength was close to exhaustion, and he almost smashed the basket. Although the Bucks' interior has a slight advantage when it comes to grabbing rebounds, both Johnson and Thomas, as soon as they grab rebounds, they will fall into the multi-player package of the 76ers and have to pass the ball out and reorganize, so that they will return to the old routine of constantly playing iron.

The Bucks, of course, want to play the ball inside, and the closer they are to the basket is obviously better when they are physically exhausted. However, Thomas is the only one on the inside who has the ability to attack with the ball, and Johnson still relies on secondary offense to score most of the time, and his personal firepower is negligible. If there was only one spot, then they would not be far from death, and the 76ers players easily judged Kassel's passing route, and after two steals, the Bucks had to restart playing outside in embarrassment.

Ray Allen, who had the highest shooting percentage, made a few three-pointers, but to no avail, and the 76ers didn't care at all if they could score, anyway, they could turn their heads and find opportunities to shoot after constantly moving the ball, and they could also guarantee a shooting percentage. To some extent, a pure offensive team like the Bucks is completely restrained by the 76ers, or by the 76ers in this game, after all, the two teams played against each other in the regular season, who would have thought that they would now change to a completely different style? And it just hit the Bucks' soft underbelly.

After making two three-pointers to stop the bleeding, Ray Allen was once again targeted by Bale, who caused a lot of trouble for him with his kraft-like close marking. Bale's stats in this game are not very good, he has only scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the fourth quarter, in addition to 2 steals and 2 blocks, but his role on the court is not at all reflected by the data, just look at Ray Allen's embarrassed appearance.

Looking at Bale's outstanding performance on the court, Brown couldn't help but look in the direction of Changwei, he became more and more incomprehensible to this young man, how did he poach such a player like Bale from the free market in the first place, which no one is optimistic about? And also trained him to be the team's defensive snail, and now Bale has squeezed Aaron McGee's playing time and is the most important rotation player on the 76ers' guard line, but if it weren't for Chang Wei, God knows where he would still be playing silently at this time.

The Bucks, who had suffered all game, finally heard the final whistle, and although they lost by 17 points, the 76ers' steely defense made them reluctant to stay on the court for a moment. The Bucks have always prided themselves on their sharp offense, but now they're discovering that offense doesn't work all the time.

The Bucks players quickly exited the tunnel and left the court for their rivals who were celebrating profusely. The 76ers players kept waving to the fans who came to watch the game, and the Eastern Conference Finals got off to a good start. Although this game is not so good on the court, 76ers fans don't care, anyway, the team wins, in competitive sports, victory is the answer to all problems, let alone whether it looks good or not.

In recognition of Bale's success defending Ray Allen in this game, Brown decided to take him to the post-game press conference. Facing the countless cameras and microphones in the audience, Bale looked a little nervous, and he said stiffly: "I just did what I had to do in this game, and since the coach asked me to defend with all my strength in the game, I had to do my job......"

"Why did you suddenly think of playing a high-intensity defense in this game? You haven't been in a game like this before, is it because the Bucks' offense is putting you under a lot of pressure? The question was asked by a middle-aged, balding uncle, who knew it was a reporter from Milwaukee without looking at his credentials.

Brown moved the microphone on the table to himself, smiled and said, "The Bucks' offense does deserve respect, but we suddenly changed our style just because we wanted to win a little easier." We didn't play defense before, just because we didn't reach an important stage like the Eastern Conference Finals, and for us, it's only a matter of whether we want to do it, not whether we can do it. ”

"So will you repeat the high-intensity defense of this game in the next game?"

"Maybe, who's for sure?"
