Chapter 210 Another Challenger

Sixth in the Eastern Conference, this ranking is not high or low, which is extremely embarrassing, more than the top and the bottom.

This is the status quo of the Milwaukee Bucks. They can make it to the playoffs, but they are basically in the first round. It is very difficult to go further.

Not only that, but if the Bucks don't make any changes, it may take less than two years. The growth of rookies will have a big impact on the Eastern Conference. By then, the Bucks' playoff spot may be robbed by that team.

The most representative teams, the first is of course the Cavaliers who joined Limbo and James this season. The Cavaliers are already attacking the second position in the Eastern Conference.

There is also the Heat with Dwyane Wade, the fifth pick in the Platinum generation draft. This season, the Miami Heat have also become one of the dark horses. With three scorers, the Heat's ranking is also hovering between fifth and sixth in the Eastern Conference.

For example, the Raptors with Chris Bosh are also one of the strong contenders in the East in the next few years.

The Milwaukee Bucks currently have Michael Reed as the core and a strong striker lineup.

Michael Reed was born on August 1979, 8 in Columbus, Ohio, USA. In the 24 NBA draft, Michael Reed was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the 2000th overall pick in the second round and served as a shooting guard.

2000-01赛季，迈克尔-里德作为雷-阿伦的替补并没有马上在球队有所作为。总共得到36分钟的上场时间新秀赛季因左膝腱受伤只打了6场比赛，场均2.2分。

2001-02赛季，迈克尔-里德的场均得分涨到15.1分，而3分球命中率依然有43.4%之高。2002年2月20日和休斯敦火箭队的对阵中，里德在第四节命中了8个三分球，这一成绩也成为了NBA纪录。

In October 2002, the Dallas Mavericks tried to lure him to a four-year, $10 million contract, but in the end Reed chose to stay with the Bucks.

In the 2002-03 season, Ray Allen switched to the Seattle SuperSonics, and Reid finally got more opportunities to play.And the non-stop shooting practice also brought him gains. In this season, Reed was able to score 15 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 43.8%.

Facts have proved that God will not disappoint everyone who works hard, and their efforts will eventually be rewarded. It is only a matter of time.

This season, Michael Reid has been pulled from the bench completely and has become the Bucks' leading shooting guard, averaging 21.7 points per game.

It's also a rising star.

The media commented on Reid like this: Reed can shoot suddenly, especially his shooting ability is extremely outstanding, and he can be called one of the top pitchers in the league today. The difference between Reid and traditional pitchers is that his physical fitness and low singles are equally good.The defense spared no effort and the tackling was aggressive.Growing from a second-round pick to a star player, he is very aggressive.

The power forward of the Bucks, Keith Van Horn, who is 2 meters tall, was described by the media as "the second Larry Bird" in college in 08-1996. He has the same projection as Bird Capable, calm-headed, and all white, everyone thinks that it is only a matter of time before he becomes the "second Bird".

The high expectations made Van Horn the "No. 1997 pick" in the [-] NBA Draft, second only to Tim Duncan.

He was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers and traded to the Nets.Started his career in New Jersey, just across the river from New York City.Van Horn is really capable. He quickly became the super scorer of the Nets. His super accurate shooting allowed him to have a place in the 76ers and the Bucks. At the critical moment, He can also be the "Mr. Key" to save the team.

In the 2001-02 season, Van Horn followed Jason Kidd to the Finals.Van Horn, who was originally expected to be a strong point, had no defensive status against Rick Fox. His shooting percentage in the finals was less than [-]%, and his scoring average was just over double digits.After this campaign, Van Horn won the title of soft-legged crab in the playoffs and was also sold by the Nets.He also embarked on a wandering road, never showing the demeanor of Bird's successor again.

After all, Van Horn did not escape the erosion of his injuries. Knee injuries, ankle injuries and even the heartache caused by them gradually devoured his talent and inspiration.

Van Horn is similar to Dirk Nowitzki, a typical "abstract defensive master". Although he has excellent physical condition, his playing style is relatively soft.Offensively, he is a very good shooter, with a long range and many angles. The actual effect is not as great as expected. The typical data is gorgeous, but the kind of player who cannot help the team much.

Joe Smith was selected by the Golden State Warriors as the No. 1995 pick in the first round of the 1 NBA draft. He has played for the Warriors, 1ers, Timberwolves, Pistons, Bucks and other teams in his career so far. The veritable "ronin" is also known as the "parallel import champion".

When Smith came to the Timberwolves in 1998, he knew very well that he was no longer the star player who shocked the American basketball world, and Garnett was no longer the young high school graduate.

With such a cognition, Smith began to try to play the role of a good team's green leaf, helping the team win with his defense, rebounding and hard work.In the next two seasons, although the statistics on Smith's books gradually declined, he also tasted the taste of participating in the playoffs for two consecutive years in this competitive team.

Joining the Bucks this season, his performance can only be described as mediocre. He has not yet become a veteran at this age. Speaking of excellent physical fitness, he should be able to play hard. He is more experienced than young players, but his performance is not as good as every year. Every year, wages are getting lower every year.

It is worth mentioning that the guard lineup of the Milwaukee Bucks is similar to that of the Cavaliers. There is no good point guard at all, but the Cavaliers have Limbo this year, and the point guard of the Bucks is also a rookie player this year, named TJ- Ford.

Ford was selected by the Bucks with the eighth pick in the first round of the draft. He is best at speed.

When he played against the 76ers before, he got rid of Iverson with his speed, but Iverson had seen Lingbo's speed before, and he said at the time, "This speed is almost the same as mine, and I can try it with the Flash." try".

In some respects, Ford is almost a copy of Limbo. TJ Ford's speed is also second to none in the league. He can disrupt the opponent's defense with his excellent speed and explosiveness. Organize the team's offense in an orderly manner.

But his shooting percentage is less than half of Limbo's. Due to his size limitation and lack of various kung fu blessings, Ford can't do as well on the defensive end as he does on the offensive end. His 6-foot height prevents him from ever becoming a Artest. He is a strong defensive player, and his body is not strong enough, so he can be easily knocked out by the opponent with a strong body.

Ford has worked hard to improve his defense. He has speed and quick hands. His opponents are usually careful because he will steal the ball and score a beautiful fast break if he is not careful.

It's just that this kid is obviously dissatisfied, his speed is also very fast, his organization is also very good, and his steals are not bad, but why is Ling Bo more famous than himself, and Ling Bo is far ahead in the All-Star voting, but no one cares about him.

The kid challenged Limbo.
