Chapter 163 - The Winning Streak Is Cool~ (13)

Since winning the Celtics, the team has entered the preparation stage!
They're going to win against the Rockets.Then the ranking first entered the eighth in the Eastern Conference!

According to Coach Kidd's arrangement.They should end up 6th or 7th in the East.Then play against the No. 2 or No. 3 team in the East.

Judging from the current Eastern Conference rankings, the Cavaliers rank second, and the Wizards rank third.
Neither team is weak.But in comparison, the Wizards are slightly better at playing.

The current 3-5 teams in the Eastern Conference are highly competitive!If nothing else, the Celtics should be able to rise to No. 5, and then they will play the first round of the playoffs with the Bulls.

According to calculations, even if the team loses a game during this period, it will eventually enter the eighth place in the East after winning the Rockets.But the Bucks didn't lose a game!

The game between the Bucks and the Rockets on the Internet has also become more and more popular!
The Bucks are currently on a 15-game winning streak!And the Rockets are now winning 11 consecutive victories!The Bucks are 5 games away from the highest winning streak in team history!The Rockets are 11 games away.

Harden said more than once in the media that he can't wait to play this game with Milwaukee!

The No. 9 team in the Eastern Conference, and the Rockets, known as the "Warriors' nemesis" this season, have squeezed out the Spurs and ranked second in the Western Conference!
Teams that play the Rockets know that if you get too close to Harden, you're in danger of six fouls off the floor.This is true no matter which quarter of the game it is.

After playing in one season, many teams feel it.The referee on the field is too "towards" the Rockets!
The Bucks players have now increased their usual training volume a lot.

They also started to make the final sprint for this season.

A week before the game against the Rockets, Kidd began to increase his training!Although his players still complained, they all endured in the end.

On this day, the Houston Rockets players came to the Bradley Center Arena to start training.

Many reporters came to the scene, but in the end they were not allowed to enter the arena for interviews.The Rockets have adopted a closed training mode.

The Bucks, a team that has had a bad season for a long time, now have a 15-game winning streak? !
No matter who hears this news, it will feel incredible.

At this time, the Rockets have won 11 consecutive victories.Of course they don't want to lose to the Milwaukee Bucks on the road tonight.In the opponent's home court, it is still difficult for them.

The Bucks have had an interesting season.They have experienced internal strife, the team organization is chaotic, and the team players have chaotic cooperation.The coach's task assignment is unreasonable and so on.

But this team has also played many high-profile games!

Many big-name teams have been defeated by the Bucks here!Playing against this team does not mean that you can win it casually if you want to win.

It's like the top lane hero is a guy with a strong ability to recover blood.You thought he was going to kill him with a knife, but in fact nothing happened to him.

You watched helplessly as the opponent quickly recovered blood in the residual blood state in the final exchange, and finally knocked you down and directly pushed the tower after successfully harvesting the head.
The Bucks are such a team, they can slowly consume you to the end.You thought you were safe, but you took over the opponent but reversed the situation in the end!

In the case of the same ranking, the West now averages 6.9 more games per game than the East!
Judging from this year's data, the western teams are still better than the eastern teams as a whole.What's more, the two teams are now ranked 7 places behind.

The Bucks know that if they want to win against the Rockets, they must first control the number of fouls.

Then there is the defense with the opponent, and the three-pointer.Needless to say, the Warriors' offense this season is very explosive.

But their two meetings with the Rockets in the regular season ended in failure.

The Rockets treated the Warriors very simply and rudely.That is, you and I will compete for three points, and we will compete to the end in this game!
After a game, the Warriors are not as good as the Rockets in terms of the defensive end, the number of turnovers, the number of fouls, and the offensive efficiency.

The evaluation of the Rockets on the Internet this season is quite controversial.

On the one hand, the Rockets are a team that is very good in the regular season and misfired in the playoffs.They entered the playoffs, either Harden couldn't play, or they made mistakes and fouls all over the court.

In the playoffs, it felt like it was time to settle with the Rockets. A season of misjudgments or opportunities for the Rockets seemed to be recovered in the playoffs.

D'Antoni was furious on the sidelines, and Harden's signature hand-slapping action was useless.

The attitude of the referee is that we accept you to watch the replay video after the game.But we do not accept rebuttals.

So, if the Bucks can really reach the finals this season.Kidd is not too worried about eventually meeting the Rockets.

Because in the second or first round, the referee "started" on the Rockets.

You have to admit that referees sometimes have their likability.For example, they directly invite troublesome opponents out of the playoffs for you~
But such a team still deserves to be taken seriously by the Bucks.

They are different from the Warriors. For example, the Warriors players have a very clear division of labor.Green, your defense is over.For Thompson, defense + three-pointers are his standard configuration.

Curry is organized + three-point ability to match.The Rockets are different. Many players can do everything.

The price/performance ratio is quite high.But judging from the usual game effects, the Rockets are similar to the Warriors.

For example, the Rockets attach great importance to three-pointers this season!They can easily turn the opponent's game with the three-point rain!
Don't talk nonsense to us on the Internet, let's touch it in reality~ Finally, it depends on whether the referee punishes you or not~
There is also their high-explosive killing, which is the main feature of the Rockets on the field!And now they have Warcraft under the basket, which is the biggest headache for the Warriors this season!
It's as if you have technology in normal times, but you end up meeting krypton gold players.
Houston made great efforts to find the league's top Warcraft!Just ask if you are afraid, at least in the game you can't hold the ball and be tough with the opponent's Howard, right?
So as long as Warcraft is there on the inside defense of the Bucks, they have nothing to do.There are not many opportunities for the Bucks.

What they need is continuous and efficient cooperation among teammates, and the positioning of players on the field is also very important!

The players don't need to be urged, they and the coaching staff are in the same mood now!That is, hurry up and enter the top 8!

Kidd: "It's almost the same as when I met a strong team at the beginning of the season. I will catch a little in this game and see who has fewer mistakes.

You also know that we are going to play the playoffs soon.Some time ago, the management said that the team can make the playoffs.Humph shit! "

Some of the Bucks players present said in their hearts, "If coach, if you want to do this, then you are really a real man~"

Kidd: "The fact that the team can achieve such a ranking has something to do with the management. You didn't bring your mobile phone, did you?"

Parker: "Don't worry, coach. We won't record your words. We've had a great time listening~"

The players around laughed.Parker's serious expression just now also eased a little.

Kidd: "That's right. The first round of the playoffs is very good. If the Cavaliers finally meet us, they will also be eliminated. The next game will also enter the assessment.

Did the data assistant coach tell you this a few days ago?I'll look at his stats.If you don’t perform well, you should be more of a spectator in the playoffs.”

The coach's state of play has been getting weirder lately.

As a team player, I can't say much.Kidd, for example, has been acting like it's only natural for them to win.Very calm, looking at his expression is not excited.

His facial expression was calm, and he even seemed to want to laugh.

This season Antetokounmpo, Parker and Li Feng have earned back the ticket money.The management did not expect the team to have the possibility of entering the playoffs in the end.
Their idea is very simple, high-ranked Parker, Asian player Li Feng, and the alphabet they have cultivated over the years, it is enough to have these players to attract fans to buy tickets~
It has to be said that the Rockets and Bucks have made a lot of money on this over the years.

But as a player, playing at the Bradley Center, the home of the Bucks, is sometimes a very cool thing.

The fans at the scene are full at every turn!There's something so satisfying on the sidelines at a game when there's a tsunami of fans cheering on you and your team.

Sometimes for a moment, it feels like your body is full of energy.This energy seems to be the extra skill bonus given to you by the fans!
The Rockets players came on the court one after another, and the fans cheered and even heard some boos mixed in.
And when the Bucks players came on the court, the sound of the scene was several times higher all of a sudden!
The faces of the Rockets players were calm.It didn't take long for them to start warming up on the field.The players don't communicate much either.On the other side of the Bucks, the players are very relaxed.

The final opponent's starting lineup is Howard, Josh, Ariza, Harden and Terry!

Ariza was still a young man when he left Houston, but now he has become stronger and more mature after returning to the Rockets!

There is also veteran Terry, who has a hot temper and still outstanding ability, in the team.There are monsters on the inside, and Magneto on the outside!
Harden, who was beaten by the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs last season, felt all kinds of upset in his heart.This season, it can be clearly seen that his ability on the court has improved!

The lineup of the Bucks is Hansen, Antetokounmpo, Ilyasova, Li Feng and Mayo!
Hansen scored 21 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks in the last game!His number of rebounds also set a record after he came to the NBA!The highest rebound last time was 13 in a single game.

It is very clear during the usual discussions, that is, the team must establish a starting center as soon as possible.

O'Bryant III and Pachulia tried both, but in the end it was decided that Hansen was more suitable for the starting center position.

Quite satisfactory, can rebound and pass the ball.That's it.And Hansen's turnovers are now the least.

When encountering an opponent with strong abilities in all aspects.It is true that fewer mistakes are earned!
If you can quickly score a few more points during this period, it will have a positive effect on the entire game.

Li Feng talked about the game with his younger sister over the phone.The final tainted milk rating in the system is 2 stars.
The poisonous milk with a rating of 2 stars is basically regarded as "milk" for the Rockets. But it is not a 1-star game against a strong team like the Rockets, so Li Feng feels that there is still hope.

After all, Li Xiaomei's tainted milk rating is not absolute.Like Li Chaoyue and Lin Xiao, they usually talk about the NBA with Li Feng, and they are basically amateurs.

In their impression, that is the case.The Bucks have almost no chance of winning~ But this season, the Bucks are about to enter the playoffs step by step in the impression of a considerable number of such fans!
The basketball was thrown into the air, and Warcraft got the basketball very easily!After Harden received the ball, he watched Li Feng come to the frontcourt!Josh gets his pass and throws it straight to Terry.

The latter jumped up and hit a three-pointer!Throw threes at the start of the game!
Unlike the previous teams, the Rockets are fully capable of completely beating the Bucks into garbage time in the first half!

Mayo passed the ball to Parker after halftime, and the latter calmly waited for his teammates to take their positions beside Josh.

Mirror position play!To compete against opponents of this level, it is better to use simpler tactics.

Harden watched the basketball and threw it towards Li Feng.His body quickly came to Li Feng who was just at the bottom corner.

When Li Feng saw that he was about to jump up, he suddenly retracted his movement and hit the ball directly on Harden's leg
Harden: "???"

Li Feng: "The referee passed the ball and was kicked out by Harden. You choose the same as kicking the ball and going out of bounds."

Referee: "... count it out of bounds"

The embarrassing value from Harden is +173!

Li Feng, do you really want to be serious with me on fouls?hehe!

This Harden is really a player who is taken care of by various referees in the regular season!Doesn't this count as football?

Ilyasova went to the sidelines to serve to Mayo.Now that they are facing a team that is difficult to trigger fouls, they are also like Hollywood actors possessed in the game.

Then the players on their Bucks side have to learn to be smarter in the game.

Li Feng scored a jumper immediately after receiving Mayo's ground pass!

It didn't take long for Harden to directly let Alphabet get the first foul of the game and score 1+2!

Alphabet felt wronged, and explained to the referee, but the other party didn't listen.Standing there with hands on hips watching Harden make free throws.

The camera goes to Kidd.He nodded now.The purpose of the Rockets is very clear.Parker missed it and let Antetokounmpo lead the foul.

When basketball came to Li Feng, the fans at the scene became excited.He dribbles along the sideline, and the Rockets don't dare go up and guard him.

Just when Harden went out of bounds.If it is placed on someone else, it may be kicking the ball!
Li Feng wanted to run from the sideline to the midfield. Seeing that Terry couldn't pass, Harden took a deep breath and ran towards Li Feng.
