"The Bobcats have shown their strength, they didn't play the strongest team in the preseason, it seems that they want to run in the team and give more opportunities to the marginals. Hayes is definitely going to get rid of the title of floor flow this season, opening with two violent dunks. Is this what training in Los Angeles looks like? Joan Barry said.

"The results of his training in Los Angeles haven't been shown yet. The Bucks' defense wasn't tight enough, and Chuck played too easily. Johnson laughed.

"You say he hasn't done his best?" Joan Barry exclaimed that Hayes' performance in the opening minutes simply left the Bucks helpless.

"The Bobcats played well in the opening game, it was a beautiful teamwork, and Calderon, the point guard who started today, had a good sense and every pass selection was good. Chuck's individual abilities have not yet been fully realized. You'll see. Hopefully the Bucks can make good adjustments, otherwise this game will be split at halftime. Johnson laughed.

How do Bucks adjust? That's a problem.

Bucks coach Chris Kowiak, known as "Little K" coach, is a collegiate coach with a wealth of ideas, but he still lacks the flaws to apply them to the game.

"Concentrate, get back quickly, don't let them play fast. When attacking, Andrew (Bogut) can single Bidrins. Michael (Reed) and Mo (Williams) were looking for a break through and Charlie (Villanueva) was covering......," said Coach K. He immediately felt that it was inappropriate, Villanueva's pick-and-roll seemed to be not enough for Reid to score easily, Hayes could follow the defenders, and Gerard Wallace, who switched positions with him, could also play power forward.

This is the biggest beauty of the Bobcats' lineup, Hayes, Wallace, and Petrus will not have obvious defensive holes after switching positions because of the opponent's blocking. The Bucks won't be able to find a way to break down the defense.

"Andrew pull it out too. Empty the inside line, double block and dismantle, Michael's main attack! ”

Coach K Jr. changed his mind. Because he found that the Bucks were more troublesome when defending, the Bobcats' offense was too fast, and Bogut's return speed could no longer keep up with the rhythm. Villanueva is also at a disadvantage against Shanghai yes. Brandon Wright was fast, but Chris Kowiak couldn't play anymore. Wright was thin and his strength was too poor to let him go up against Hayes anymore.

Coach K's defensive philosophy is to force the opponent to the middle distance, and then pinch the inside and outside, which will inevitably cause the opponent's shooting percentage to drop. The situation now is that the Bobcats are switching offense and defense too quickly, and at least three people rush to the three-point line in a matter of seconds, and they get to the ball.

The Bucks' interior players are still running back. How to flank in such a situation? Theory doesn't make the players faster, especially Bogut.

It seems that the only way to prevent the Bobcats from breaking fast is to pull the interior players to cover in the high position, and the guards break through the attack, so that they can give up grabbing the frontcourt rebounds and retreat directly to get the defensive formation in place. But how can this game be won if you give up the inside attack?

In fact, the Bucks can choose Bogut as the core offensive point to play positional battles, the Australian champion has good strength, has very solid back body skills, and is stronger than Biedrins, but Coach K Jr. values Reed and Williams' offensive ability too much and pushes himself into a dead end.

In the summer, Williams signed a six-year, $52 million contract extension with the Bucks, and Reed is also a super scorer, so it seems a little unreasonable to attack without them. In fact, Williams is only close to a superstar in terms of price, and the overall picture and assist ability are not good at all; Reed's offense is more comprehensive, but he can't be considered a superstar, but the Bucks don't have good players to spoil them. Therefore, Bogut is such a good seedling, and he is stunned to delay the two external tumors.

The Bucks are a pseudo-powerhouse. Judging from the results of the previous two years, they have lost every time they encounter a team that has a quick transition between attack and defence. Because the Achilles' heel of the Bucks is that whenever they encounter a fast team, Williams and Reed will always be hot-headed and split with each other, at this time, the Bucks will lose their offensive rhythm and lose a stable shooting percentage in the fast offense. For the Bucks to address this weakness, Williams and Reed must first calm down.

But the Bucks had no intention of addressing that weakness, and after the timeout, Reed received a pass from Bogut and hit a three-point jumper from the outside. 11 to 5.

After the goal, the Bucks quickly stepped back and took a position in the box. They thought too simply, thinking that they could prevent the Bobcats from attacking by putting up a joint defensive formation. All four of the Bobcats pulled away, and Calderon hoisted the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right to Hayes, who was on the edge of the three-second zone.

Hayes leaned back and didn't feel the opponent's arms and body, and then he knew in his heart that the opponent didn't come up, but stood at a distance of about half a step behind him to prevent turning and breaking through. Hayes didn't even dribble the ball, and turned and shot backwards. Villanueva couldn't block it and the ball went in. 13 to 5.

Villanueva's lack of defense can be described as poor, with lateral movement and foot rate that could be improved, while his good under-the-basket blocks rely more on his bounce and explosiveness, and one defense is a colander. If he could defend with his heart, the Raptors wouldn't have lost faith in this big man who could play inside and out, and traded him to the Bucks.

D'Antoni knew very well what kind of man Villanueva was, so once he was in position, he let the players insist on handing over Hayes to singles.

Mo Williams drove to the basket and also took color. 13 to 7.

The Lynx pulled away again. This time the Bucks replaced Bogut to defend Hayes, who was very close, but didn't blindly compete with Hayes, just to interfere with his possible step-back jumper.

After receiving the ball, Hayes did not move his feet, shook his shoulders to the left, and immediately turned left to break through with the ball laterally.

It was also a center move, Hayes' first move was very fast, and he used his body against Bogut to get into the three-second zone from the middle, and the four Bucks players moved closer to the middle in an attempt to trap Hayes.

If it was Hayes last season, he would definitely choose to pass the ball when he encountered such a situation. He made a lot of mistakes last season, and it was in this situation. When he was in Los Angeles, Barkley told him that when he was surrounded by multiple people in the three-second zone, don't always think about passing, offense is the first choice, because at this time it is already very close to the basket, and the real defense is actually one or two people in front of him, and he must make full use of his physical advantage to find the gap to shoot. Even if you don't score, it's not easy for the opponent to counterattack.

Hayes took two steps with his body leaning on Bogut to take the ball, and scored a basketball with a low hand on his left side. 15 to 7. This goal is also thanks to Villanueva. The 211cm-tall guy stood on the left side of the basket and watched Hayes go to the basket without even reaching out his hand.

This goal made the "Little K" coach very devastated, and the Bucks' defense was too disappointing.

Joan Barry exclaimed: "Hayes has been really good this season, and he still puts the ball in easily when he plays four. I never saw anything like it last season. ”

"That's one of the results of Chuck's two-month workout, he's playing more resolute than he used to be, but the Bucks' defense is a bit too bad," Johnson said. It seems to be a one-on-four success, but in fact, Reed and Mason can't block in the back, Villanueva is watching the play from the sidelines, and Chuck's real opponent is actually only Bogut. ”

The Bucks did defend the Bobcats' fast break, but the game turned into Hayes' solo show.

With 7:11 left in the first quarter, Hayes received a pass from Calderon and turned directly to step back and shoot the ball.

At 6 minutes and 47 seconds, Hayes turned around and broke through Bogut and made a jumper under the basket.

At 6:06, Hayes ran out of the three-point line to catch the ball, attracted the defense and assisted the weak side of Petrus to hit a three-pointer.

At 4:22, the Bobcats quickly counterattacked, and Hayes hit a three-point shot from the outside.

At 2 minutes and 19 seconds, Hayes grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and the basket jumper also caused a foul on the Bucks bench Rufen and hit a three-point shot.

The Bucks couldn't defend it, and if it weren't for Reed and Williams, they would have fallen behind by a big score.

The two sides played an astonishing high score in the first quarter, with the Bobcats leading by five points at 38-33, and Hayes scoring 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats successively replaced Okafor, Kurt Thomas, Weaver, Azubuuk, Felton and other substitute lineups, and the Bucks also changed to the bench, and the score opened up all of a sudden.

The gap between the Bobcats' bench and the main force is not very large, and the Bucks' bench and main strength are several notches behind. After Reed and Williams are off the court, the strongest offensive points on the Bucks' court are Bobby Simmons and Villanueva. The score was quickly stretched to more than 10 points.

Weaver and Felton's speed combination exploded with amazing energy as soon as they came on the court, scoring consecutive breakaways.

Reid was forced to return to the court after only four minutes of rest to lead the team to chase the score.

The Bucks' main play is inconsistent, and the bench is even worse. Simmons, as Mason's backup, averaged less than 10 points per game and actually signed a five-year, $47 million contract. Gazuric, a blue-collar substitute who can't attack, also signed a six-year, 36 million mid-class contract. With such a garbage contract, it is difficult to tear it down and rebuild. There was originally a potential stock Sessions, but he was also robbed by the Bobcats. Coach K is also a rookie, and it is understandable that such a team has no tactics to disrupt the war. They may be able to play passionately for a while, but most of the time they are on the verge of collapse.

Today, the Bucks and Bobcats' tactical strategy is offense-to-offense.

The Bucks' starting 5 can indeed play and run, and if they play against the Bobcats in a single quarter, they will not fall behind, but the Bucks do not have the ability to play and run and bomb all over the court, and it is difficult for their big men on the inside to keep up with the rhythm of the game. Only by letting both Reed and Bogut play at a level will the Bucks add to their winning chips. It's a pity that the Bucks didn't realize it.

In the first half, they could also rely on outside firepower to fight the Bobcats. Reid and Williams were cold in the second half. The Bobcats fought back several times to stretch the score to more than 20 points, and the Bucks were gone.

The final score was 128-97, and Hayes played 33 minutes in the first game, scoring 37 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In the third quarter of the game, as soon as Hayes catches the ball, the slogan "MVP" will burst out in the audience!

Also on the standout was Calderon, who made his debut for the Bobcats and scored a double-double of 10 points and 11 assists. Seven Bobcats scored in double figures, Wallace 16, Weaver 12, Felton 14, Biedrins 10 and Petrus 10.

The Bobcats used a hearty victory to show their strong strength after rebuilding! They are already opponents to be reckoned with by any strong team in the league!
