Pick Westbrook

Chapter 39
Second half of the game.

The Bucks' offense was frequently blocked, and they were 10 points behind the Kings at halftime.

Li Lai had to change the team tactics again.

With the Bucks impossible to win the game on defense, he can only focus on offense.

Xiao Mo, a master of chaos, was taken on the court, and he also took on the important task of singles Artest.

And the final effect is naturally very bad.

Xiao Mo was defended 10 of 2 from the field in a single quarter, and the audience was autistic.

In the end, Li Lai had no choice but to break the boat and used one of the most rogue tactics that D'Antoni used in the Rockets.

"This is the last way I can think of."

Seeing Li Lai replace Westbrook and at the same time take the three-pointer Andre Ingram, Tyronn Lue was puzzled.

At this time, the team has reached the most dangerous time, and if they are not careful, the Kings will play a wave of high and kill the game.

In that case, the Bucks are really hopeless to come back.

So at this time, Li Lai also replaced Westbrook, the team's main force and the core of the ball, which made Tyronn Lue feel unbelievable.

Li Lai understood the emotion on Tai Lue's face, so he licked his lips at the court.

Tyronn Lue moved his gaze over, quietly reading the team lineup on the field.

"Point guard Maurice Williams, shooting guard Andre Ingram, small forward Marshall, power forward Villanueva and center Yi Jianlian."

Tyronn Lu frowned and still didn't understand.

Li Lai said directly: "This is called blind throwing tactics!"

Tyronn Lu: "Are you serious?"

Let's not talk about whether it is appropriate to deploy this tactic at this time. The name of this tactic alone makes Tyronn Lue, who thinks he is an encyclopedia of tactics, very dumbfounded.

How can there be such an ugly tactical name in the world!
"Coach, your tactics... IMHO.

If the players feel hot, it is very likely that they will take away the opponents in waves, and they will be dumbfounded in a few rounds.

But if it doesn’t feel good, or it’s good and bad”

Li Lai blurted out: "That would be troublesome.

If this tactic is used all the time, it will make the team's record extremely unstable.

In the playoffs, it is even more likely that the overall strength of the team will shrink significantly due to the increase in defensive strength. "

This is the biggest shortcoming of blind random shooting tactics.

But at the same time, this is also a tactic that can chase points quickly.

In the previous life, the Rockets often fell behind in the first three quarters of the game, but in the fourth quarter they were always able to achieve a shocking comeback, because they had always played this tactic.

"So, now it depends on how the players feel!"

on the field.

The result was unexpected.

All the players of the Bucks feel cold!

易键联外线3中1，维兰纽瓦3中1，小莫更惨5中1，倒是威斯特布鲁克进了一个神仙三分1中1。

"The ones that should be in are not, and the ones that shouldn't be are in." Li Lai sighed.

Westbrook: "Coach, are you polite?"

This result also made Li Lai's desire to find a top shooting trainer for the team even stronger.

In the end, the Bucks lost the game 90:102, ending their three-game winning streak.

During the post-match interview.

Li Lai looked hopeless.

"This is a real slap in the face, and it slapped me in the face."

"In response to the old saying, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation, and the sky will spare anyone."

Westbrook and Yi Jianlian kept their heads down throughout the interview.

The two thought about how arrogant they were when the Bucks won three consecutive victories, and they even said such arrogant words to the reporters.

As a result, this lasted for less than a day before he was beaten back to his original shape.

"It's really bad."

李来特意在比赛结束后看了一眼阿泰斯特的数据，17分6篮板4助攻1盖帽1抢断。

It seemed ordinary, but only Li Lai knew how important Artest played in it.

Just as Li Lai exited the press conference and was about to lead the players back to Milwaukee, Hammond had already been waiting outside the press conference for a long time.

"Don't stay in Milwaukee and worry about the team's funds, what are you doing here?" Li Lai asked curiously.

With a bitter face, Hammond put the financial issue aside and said, "It's not because of Maurice Williams."

Li Lai frowned and said, "Didn't you tell the Cavaliers? I will definitely not hand over Xiao Mo to them."

Hammond shook his head and briefly explained why.

After he conveyed the news to the Cavaliers, he didn't expect that the other party would simply shut up and stop mentioning it.

Such an attitude was not even expected by Hammond himself.

Who in the league doesn't know that the Cavaliers have long wanted to get a scorer who can share the pressure for James, but they have no chance.

Now that the Cavaliers value Maurice Williams, and the Bucks do have the idea of ​​​​trading each other, how could they not pursue it hard?

"But the Cavaliers just gave up decisively!"

Li Lai was also deeply surprised and continued to ask: "Then what do you want to do in Sacramento?"

Hammond took a deep breath and said: "The Kings also want Maurice Williams."

what!
This news really surprised Li Lai.

It stands to reason that the Kings have decided to rebuild, and what they value most should be draft picks or potential rookies.

And Xiao Mo doesn't match the two, he is obviously a player with a certain amount of actual combat power, and the teams that need him should be those teams that are competing for the championship or hitting the playoffs.

Hammond nodded, "I was surprised too.

No, after getting the news from Geoff Petrie, I rushed here overnight. "

Tyronn Lue led the players back to Milwaukee early.

After the Bucks ended their three-game streak, they finally ushered in a two-day holiday.

Lee and Hammond remained in Sacramento.

Geoff Petrie found an upscale coffee shop the next day and invited the two of them.

"I didn't expect the owner of the Bucks to be so young and promising that he could even become the head coach on the court to coach the team. This should be regarded as the first time in NBA history."

Geoff Petrie stood up and said with a smile.

Li Lai was not familiar with Geoff Petrie, but because he had contact with the profiteer Sam Presti of the Thunder, he was very cautious at this time.

"Mr. Petrie, back to business.

I think your proposed deal is a joke.

Of course, if you're really joking, then I'm glad I got to meet you today, but I've got to go. "

Seeing that Li Lai was really about to get up, Geoff Petrie hurriedly stopped him.

"Mr. Li Lai, we are all smart people, so there is no need to talk about beating around the bush.

The Kings have decided to rebuild, so we need draft picks or potential rookies! "

Li Lai stared at each other with a fixed look and said, "All the rookies in the Bucks are not for sale."

Geoff Petrie lit a cigar and laughed, "Don't worry, we're not interested in the Bucks' rookies.

Even if Westbrook is playing very well now, in my eyes, he is not an excellent team building core. "

Dare to say it!

No wonder the Kings have not made the playoffs in 2021, and even set a record of not making the playoffs for 15 consecutive years.

blind.

You can't even look down on Westbrook!
Li Lai said: "So, the Kings want our draft pick?"

Geoff Petrie nodded, then shook his head and said, "That's not quite right.

We want to trade for Maurice Williams and the Bucks' first-round pick for next year. "
