I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 103 Milwaukee at four o'clock in the morning, I have something to bet on! (First update, please subscribe)
"He Li, you don't sleep at night, why are you calling me? Next, you'd better convince me and give me a reason not to be angry, or you will be miserable during the day!"

Cassel who answered the phone seemed to be woken up by He Li, and his tone was not friendly.

He Li didn't pay much attention to this, and of course he didn't make a show of it, but quickly explained the purpose of coming: "Sam, have you ever seen Milwaukee at four o'clock in the morning?"

"speak English!"

"Come out, I'll be waiting for you in the training hall!"

"He Li, you really don't sleep? You're just getting off the plane at this time, right?" Cassel was extremely surprised.

Cassel clearly knew that the Bucks had finished playing in Detroit not long ago, and at this point in time, it should be when they just returned from the plane and went home to rest.

And tonight, the sun will come to challenge, and the back-to-back schedule is a test for the physical strength of the players.

He Li was good, he took the initiative not to sleep, and stayed up until dawn.

This is?Challenge the limit during the day, challenge the limit at night?

"I called you because I just got off the plane and couldn't sleep for a while. Well, I'm going to hang up. I'll wait for you in the training hall!" After He Li finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone.

And before the phone hung up, Cassel complained; "Please, it's okay if you're single and don't sleep, but I have a wife! Can you find a girl..."

"Unfortunately, it's too early to hang up! Forget it, stop fighting, go directly to the training hall and wait for him!"

He Li actually wanted to reply to Kassel, how can a woman have fun with a ball?But when I think that I am still single, I don't seem to be qualified to say this, so I don't need to do anything more.

A few hours ago, the Bucks had just finished playing in Detroit. He Li fell asleep on the plane for a while. Now that he just got off the plane, he doesn't feel sleepy.

After getting off the plane, the team disbanded. Everyone has a house in Milwaukee, so naturally they will not sleep in a hotel, but go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

He Li was so excited just after waking up, he couldn't fall asleep for a short time anyway, and his body didn't feel too tired, so he wanted to go back to the Bradley Center training ground to practice.

Considering that He Li was the core of the Bucks’ tactics before, but after Kassel’s return, the ball will return to Kassel’s hands, so He Li thought of communicating with Kassel in advance to discuss and see if there is any better way of playing and cooperation.

The strength of a team does not depend entirely on the number of stars, but on the chemical reaction between the main players of the team.

Cassell and He Li had no problem cooperating before, but during the period when Cassell was recuperating from his injury, the Bucks' play style and tactics changed.

Now that Cassel has returned from injury, can this Bucks perform more stably and better?It is still unknown at present.

Before Ray Allen came back, he also adapted a little bit for a game or two.

Ray Allen also adapted to the Bucks' new tactics and style of play, so that the Bucks can continue to move forward steadily while maintaining the number one position in the Eastern Conference.

He Li first arrived at the Bradley Center training ground and started warming up accompanied by trainers.

Before coming, He Li also called the Bucks trainer.

Although I am a little sorry, this is also the responsibility of the team trainer.

Basically, at the same time He Li stepped into the training ground, the trainer also rushed over.

Kassel came more than 20 minutes later than He Li. He Li had already warmed up here, but Kassel was still sleepy, yawning, and looked listless.

"Sam, warm up first! I'll talk while you're doing it. I think we need to have a negotiation about the possession of the ball." He Li said proactively.

Upon hearing this, Cassel replied decisively: "I'm very relieved to hand over the ball to you!
Although I think I'm better than you when I'm in possession of the ball.

But indeed, during the time you led the team, you performed very well, far exceeding my expectations.

I think that I can cooperate with you and play in the way you are best at now. "

Kassel doesn't have to have the ball to play. Kassel is also very good at catching and shooting. In addition, he has a high ball quotient and can run. It is no problem to play without the ball.

For the Celtics in 08, Cassel was honestly a substitute and let Rondo take the lead. He could catch and shoot the ball, and he could also play with a substitute.

It is because Cassell is like a universal plug, too adaptable and has brought too much help to the team.This made Ray Allen once think that Cassell was the third giant of the Celtics.

Having said that, Kassel's overall ability with the ball is naturally much stronger than Kassel without the ball.

But if the Bucks want to stabilize their No. [-] record in the Eastern Conference and maintain a winning streak, they should try to avoid too many changes.

In addition, Kassel is also very happy that He Li can grow to the point of "the second forward in the Eastern Conference" this season.

The Bucks didn't perform well before, because they lacked truly reliable inside players.

The current He Li is the reliable little brother in Kassel's eyes.

Because of He Li, the Bucks have further possibilities, and Cassel is naturally very happy to see this scene.

However, for Kassel's proposal, He Li immediately shook his head and refused: "This is not the purpose of my asking you to practice here today. I hope that the ball will still be in your hands."

There is no doubt that Cassell's master control will definitely help the Bucks more.

At present, Kassel's game experience and ability to read the game must be stronger than He Li, and it is also a part that the Bucks need more.

For He Li, his performance is stable and he doesn't need the ball at all.He Li has too much possession of the ball, but he is even more tired!

So, if Kassel doesn't control the ball, how can He Li maintain his health?
While the three musketeers opened up space, Cassell passed him the ball, then caught and shot, caught the ball and played singles, averaged 20 points per game, and won the game easily. Isn't that good?
Why is He Li making trouble for himself, constantly being double-teamed while holding the ball, and then faced with being intercepted, failing to pass the ball at critical moments, exposing the shortcomings of not being able to hold the ball?

"I think you can still think about it and do as I say." Cassel pushed back again.

He Li suddenly laughed when he heard this: "I'm not the kind of player who has to hold the ball to play!"

He Li felt that Kassel was still worried that He Li would suddenly lose the ball and would not know how to play.He Li's state has declined and the team's overall strength has declined. This is what Kassel is most concerned about.

"To be honest, I can't pass all the balls to whoever is supposed to catch them like you do.

And if I hold the ball too much, I will also face the problem of poor physical strength.

In this way, I have to reduce the physical strength allocated to defense and rebounding. "

Hearing He Li's explanation, Cassel did not continue to reject He Li's proposal.

"Let's practice first, after watching the actual situation, we will discuss the matter of possession of the ball.

There is no rush as to who will hold the ball.

I just came back, and I need a few games to get used to it, maybe my injury is not healed yet! "

After Kassel warmed up, he practiced with He Li.

The two played for more than half an hour, sweating a little, but still felt that it was not enough, so they called more trainers, and called a few substitutes who hadn't played much before to play.

This practice is more than two hours.

"There is still a game tonight! Go back and rest early!"

On the surface, Kassel cared about He Li, but in fact he was tortured enough by He Li, so he had to say that.

For He Li, two hours of training without confrontation was slightly more than the amount of warm-up exercise.

However, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning. He Li, who has practiced for more than three hours, has indeed reached the time to eat and rest.

"I'll go back and have a rest first. Let's continue in the afternoon. Everyone should come by then. Let's practice again. It should be almost done in the evening!"

"Ha, come this afternoon?
Come on, you think they all look like you?
The schedule is so busy recently, and the pressure of the game is so great. After all, everyone has some time to rest. Will you ask for trouble to come to the training ground to practice? "

Cassel gave He Li a blank look, and the information revealed in his eyes was probably: "You have a girlfriend, then you won't be so active in practicing basketball!"

When He Li learned that Kassel would not come in the afternoon, he stopped thinking about continuing to practice in the afternoon.

Next, He Li had breakfast at the Bradley Center, then had physical therapy, and then went home to rest.

It wasn't until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon that He Li reported to the arena ahead of time.

He Li thought that he came late, but he didn't expect that except for the big dog who was still recovering from his injuries, and the unimportant substitute, basically he hadn't come yet.

It is worth mentioning that Ray Allen, who is usually the most active in training and basically never absent, is also absent at this time.

Seeing this, He Li was not in a hurry, but did some simple and easy exercises with the big dog.

The big dog's injury is not serious, at least not to the extent of being reimbursed for the season, and does not need any surgery. He is currently in a situation where he can play directly after being closed.

But the Bucks don't need big dogs to make sacrifices, so they still recover from injuries normally, and just do some proper rehabilitation training at ordinary times.

After a period of time, Ray Allen and Cassell arrived at the Bradley Center one after another. After all the personnel arrived, He Li and others did not hold a meeting in the video room, and started training directly to adjust the lineup.

George Karl wanted to say something when he saw He Li handing over the ball.

However, it was not for nothing that He Li and Kassel practiced in the morning, let alone Kassel's game experience.

George Karl found that Cassell's return did not seem to disrupt the team's tactics, and He Li's personal ability and influence on the team did not change much. Since the decision was made by the players themselves, George Karl didn't need to interfere.

In this way, the Bradley Center, the Bucks' home court, will soon usher in the challenge of the Phoenix Suns.

The configuration of this Suns is very similar to that of the previous Bucks. The core of the team is the perimeter, point guard Stephen Marbury, point guard Penny Anfernee Hardaway, and small forward hacker Sean Marion.

That's right, the Suns are the double point guard lineup of Marbury and Hardaway.Of course, these two scoring abilities are no worse than ordinary shooting guards.

It stands to reason that with such a three-gun firepower configuration, it is uncertain how the playoffs will perform, but it should be pretty good during the regular season.

要知道，太阳的板凳深度也不差，有93第9顺位上赛季场均12.6分的罗德尼·罗杰斯，有96黄金一代第16顺位上赛季场均12.3分的托尼·德尔克。

Based on paper strength, the Suns are no worse than last season's Bucks, or even stronger.

In fact, the Suns last season were also a playoff team.

But this season, after the Suns exchanged core point guards with the Nets, their record has been a little hip. So far, they have 20 wins and 20 losses, which ranks 10th in the West.

What's interesting is that Kidd took off with a group of rotten sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in the Nets, and rushed directly to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

In contrast, Marbury played less team.

However, watching Marbury play sometimes feels lonely, but Marbury's assist data is not ugly.

Right now, the Suns are not going up or down. It can only be said that the chemical reaction between the players is not good.

The game starts soon.

He Li jumped the ball again on behalf of the Bucks, but this time when he met Jack Voskull, a normal big center with a height of more than 2 meters 1, He Li couldn't jump.

The Suns got the ball and started the first attack first.

Penny Hardaway charged directly after receiving the ball, and a Crossover passed Ray Allen and rushed directly to the basket.

When He Li saw it, he immediately made up the defense and stood still in advance, but Penny's expression did not change, and his feet did not slow down.

"Hehe, is Penny trying to challenge me?"

Because Penny was not in a hurry to make a layup, He Li didn't jump first.

Penny went to He Li, turned back his bad luck, and worshiped Buddha instead.

"Look, He Li is about to be tricked by Penny!"

"It seems that very few people go inside to challenge He Li. This is an extremely rare scene!"

Not long ago, the NBA officially announced the second round of live broadcasts across the United States. The Bucks are the number one team in the Eastern Conference and the favorites to win the championship. There are 17 live broadcasts in the second round of the United States.

And today's game is also a game that will be broadcast live across the United States.

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley commented passionately at the game site. Judging by the tone of the two, they both seemed to think that He Li could not defend against Penny.

However, He Li was not fired by Penny's prayer, but took the initiative to step forward and reach out to steal it.

He Li's steals are a bit of a gamble, but He Li knows very well that there is Anthony Mason behind him, so it doesn't matter if he misses it.

But in fact, Penny just wants to flaunt Heli and play Heli.

But just because Penny didn't take off and the ball was in the air again, He Li made the right bet!

By the time Penny reacted and wanted to shoot with the ball, he was already a beat behind.As soon as Penny got the ball, He Li abruptly snatched the ball out of his hand.

"What, I couldn't believe my eyes, He Li made a steal from Penny!"

"I thought it was going to be a bloody block, but it was a steal!"

"Unbelievable, this steal is too simple! It seems that the two have rehearsed in advance!"

"Look, the ball has been switched!"

"The Bucks launched a fast break, He Li's pass was timely, and Cassell and Ray Allen responded quickly."

"There are few people on the outside of the sun, and they can't be stopped even if they catch up!"

"Oh my god, Ray Allen dunked too!"

"The aliens assisted Ray Allen for a dunk, which is a good start!"
