Chapter 65 Take the Bucks Lightly
Early the next morning, Ye Xuan got up and practiced for a while, and then went to the arena to gather with the team, because they were going to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks today.As the team that selected Chinese players with the sixth overall pick in 07, everyone must have a little impression, but in fact, after 2000, the Bucks have been in an embarrassing state, rebuilding every year, and the reconstruction effect every year Not good, but the history of this team is quite glorious.

The Milwaukee Bucks, founded in 1968 and joined the NBA in the same year, in the 1968-69 season, the Bucks finally won the last place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 27 wins and 55 losses. However, this result proved to be lucky. Under the rules at the time, the last place in the east and west divisions decided the draft pick by tossing a coin.

The newcomer Phoenix Suns finished last in the Western Conference with a 16-66 record, and they joined the Bucks in flipping coins on a conference call with then-NBA commissioner Walter Kennedy.Suns owner Dick Bloch guessed heads, while Kennedy's 50-cent piece came up heads.

选秀的结果是雄鹿队挑选了带领加州大学洛杉矶分校熊队三年里三夺NCAA锦标赛冠军的卢-阿尔辛多（卡里姆-阿布杜尔-贾巴尔）这个7尺2的中锋有着优雅的、独一无二的、致命的“天勾”，以场均28.8分和14.5个篮板轻而易举地拿下1969-70赛季的最佳新秀。同时还进入了全明星阵容，并在赛季末入选最佳阵容二队和最佳防守阵容二队。

Before the 1970-71 season, the team traded Flynn Robinson and Charlie Paulk for star guard Oscar "Big O" Robertson of the Cincinnati Royals to lay the foundation for the team's success.Although Robertson is not as brave as he was when he was young, he brings skills and experience to the young Bucks and still averages 19.4 points per game.

The star of the team, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, averaged 31.7 points per game and was elected the NBA's Most Valuable Player.In addition to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robertson, the Bucks' starters include Joan McGlocklin, Bob Dandridge and Greg Smith, plus Bob Boozer and Lu Hugh on the bench. Allen and Dick Cunningham helped the team to an astonishing 66-16 record in the newly formed Midwest Division.The Bucks lost only two of their 12 playoff games, beating the San Francisco Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers 2-4 on aggregate, and swept the Baltimore Bullets in the 1 NBA Finals to win the 1971 NBA Finals. championship.

In the following years, although the Bucks maintained their competitiveness, they still lost against the Lakers with Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West.After that, this cold city failed to keep Skyhook's heart, and had no choice but to trade it to the Lakers. After that, the Bucks seemed to be cursed. Although they had good performances, they never got involved again. He won the championship, and the outstanding rookies who were selected also chose to escape here.

After being swept by the Big Three Heat in the first round of last year's playoffs, the Bucks' management was determined to rebuild, so four of the team's top five scorers (Ellis, Jennings, Redick And Dunleavy Jr.) have already switched to the new club, and one of the team's best defenders, Luke Mbah a Moute was also traded to the Kings in the offseason, only in exchange for two second-round picks right.The players who replaced him were OJ-Mayo and some role players who had played supporting roles in their previous NBA careers.

No offense to Brandon Knight, Carlos Delfino, Zaza Pachulia and Luke Ridnour, but it's clear the Bucks didn't improve their roster this summer .That is to say, compared with the previous years, this year's performance is more thorough, and the record also tells everyone that the Bucks have played 75 games and only won 14 games.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Pacers fully grasped the rhythm of the game. Facing the opponent's inside line with little resistance, Hibbert took whatever he wanted in the penalty area, and succeeded in singles in the inside line one after another.And Ye Xuan didn't seem to have any desire to attack in this game, but chose to help his teammates score (in fact, he wanted to get a double-double to get rewards).

When the TV paused in the first quarter, the Pacers had already achieved a double-digit lead. When the TV paused, Ye Xuan continued to help the Pacers complete the offense with consecutive shots and passes. It only took 3 minutes. Not only did he increase his score to 8 points, but he also had 7 assists.

In the middle of the second quarter, the main force of the Pacers was replaced again. Ye Xuan took the opportunity to improve his statistics. After easily scoring 5 points and 3 assists, he rested contentedly, because the Pacers are now 20 points ahead of their opponents.

Although at the beginning of the third quarter, OJ-Mayo suddenly broke out and scored 11 points in a row, but after the Pacers replaced the main lineup again, the situation was stabilized instantly.In the end, the Pacers easily won the game with Hibbert's monster-level performance of 29 points and 16 rebounds. Ye Xuan also scored a double-double for the second consecutive game after the previous game.As for the Bucks, except for OJ-Mayo's remarkable performance, almost everyone else is in a walking state.

After this wave of 6 consecutive victories, the Pacers have increased their wins to 54 wins, leading the Heat by 3.5 wins.As long as they don't continue to perform abnormally in the next game, I believe the Pacers will definitely get the first place in the Eastern Conference.However, after this game, the Pacers will finally usher in the last strong opponent in the regular season of this season-the Thunder led by Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

The Thunder reached the finals in the 2011 season but were defeated by the Heat's Big Three 4:1, and then the team lost their best sixth man-James Harden.But Harden's departure did not make the Thunder lose their competitiveness. On the contrary, with the rapid growth of rookie Jeremy Lamb and the outstanding performance of the remaining three players, they continued to maintain their competitiveness. Achieved 53 wins, and is now temporarily ranked second in the Western Conference, second only to the Spurs.

In fact, when it comes to the Thunder, I have to mention last year's playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, they met the Rockets led by their younger brother Harden. With a 4-2 lead, due to Westbrook's Injured, was pulled by the Rockets for two consecutive games. Although they finally defeated the Rockets 1:4, the Thunder, which lost Westbrook, also seemed weak in succession. In the semifinals, they were unfortunately eliminated by the Grizzlies [-]:[-].
