New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 227 Monsters
Although the Milwaukee Bucks made the playoffs last season, no one regarded them as a strong team.Because in the end until the last round of the playoffs, there were still four teams in the East with the same winning percentage.

The Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons with the same winning percentage, and then barely squeezed out the Cleveland Cavaliers through the win-loss relationship to get the eighth place in the Eastern Conference and enter the playoffs.

Of course, facing the New York Knicks, the leader of the Eastern Conference, their end is to be swept out 4:0.Not only that, they conceded an average of 121 points per game, but only scored 92 points.The Milwaukee fans couldn't bear to watch it until the end. Everyone's only thought was why they worked so hard to make it to the playoffs.

He averaged nearly 30 points per game, so he might as well just go fishing after the regular season.And because of making the playoffs, in addition to getting two more home tickets, he also missed the chance to draw the lottery show, which was a huge loss.

After the game, the general manager of the Bucks directly yelled at the reporter, "Do you think we want to win the last game? Damn Detroit people, we would rather get a lottery pick than be tortured into dogs by the Knicks!"

"So you mean the Pistons are waterproof on purpose?" "Yeah, that's what I meant! Damn Motown!"

After saying these words, the poor Bucks manager was of course fired immediately, but everyone knew he was right.The life-and-death match of the Detroit Pistons actually allowed the starters to surrender after playing for about 20 minutes.

Although the Milwaukee Bucks only allowed the starters to play for about 30 minutes, at least they were worthy of the audience.They didn't expect that in another game played at the same time, the Cleveland Cavaliers actually defeated their opponents, which made the calculation of the relationship between victory and defeat a problem.

The reason why the manager was so angry was also because in his opinion, he was obviously being tricked by the three families. There are countless possibilities in the last round of the NBA's life-and-death battle. Unexpectedly, the Bucks won the playoffs but lost their future.

Looking at the biggest winner of this year's draft, the Los Angeles Lakers, the glamorous No. [-] pick got the Eastern boy Zhang Yi, another got Robert in the first round, and even got a good center potential stock Wali in the second round.

In the end, only a few fringe players with unknown talents and poor performances were found from the draft.All the generals of the Bucks were very frustrated.

Of course, the Lakers' victory over the New York Knicks, where Thomas played, is also small news for them.After all, the team they hate the most is the ruthless Knicks who slaughtered four games.

Before the game started, the Milwaukee Bucks broke the news that the head coach was dismissed.And as soon as the news came out, the team's uniform team made a big move.It was supposed to be replaced by an assistant coach, but the Bucks owner may have had enough of the four-game losing streak in the preseason and recruited a coach directly from Europe.

The preseason games are not worth such a big fight. The players they drafted this year are indeed not strong, and the second-year players are not good enough. This is the most embarrassing part.

The reason for this European coach is that the Bucks boss is eyeing his resources in Europe, hoping to sign a few promising players.Although leaving the draft, players from other countries cannot join if they have not registered in the NBA.But it's better to have a chance than wash your neck and wait to die...

There is not much attraction in this game itself, after all, the strength gap between the two teams is too great.Even in the eyes of many people, even if the Bucks send all the main players, they may not be able to deal with the new lineup of the Lakers.

Zhang Yi did not start directly in the first quarter, but Wacker did not report for a rest, which means that he will definitely come off the bench.

"Damn the Lakers! It's really dry, so many outstanding rookies can play two sets of rotations? It's not fair!"

The new head coach of the Bucks really couldn't complain about the bad cards in his hand.Of course, without this situation, it is impossible for him to get the chance to enter the NBA immediately.

And for him, it's not the worst.After all, I also have the resources of French and Swedish players in my hands, and the two new European kings are likely to come.

It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't pay attention to the Bucks now, as long as his two disciples are summoned, the strength of the team will definitely improve several levels quickly.

In fact, apart from the poor rookies, if their main lineup hadn't entered a wave of injuries at the last moment last season, they wouldn't have been so miserable.

At the beginning of the game, the Lakers firmly grasped the rhythm of the game.Although there is no such absolute core as Zhang Yi.But when the opponent does not have a strong center, Wally's power is revealed.

Wacker had already trained the team's UCLA tactics. Simply put, it was to attack around a powerful center.The old point guard Osk's performance in this area is very eye-catching.Moreover, Robert's ability to face the frame is also very strong, which can attract the focus of defense in itself.

When the basket becomes one-on-one, Wally can score almost without difficulty.The Bucks didn't have much to do.

Most of the audience came for Zhang Yi's name. Apart from his outstanding performance in the NCAA, this low-key new king of the league is also the hottest star in the super-popular game "Super Basketball League".

Even though Zhang Yi didn't play, as soon as the camera came to him, the audience would immediately remember the warm cheers.This makes the Bucks players very embarrassed, because it seems that he is the star at home.

Few people in the entire league have this kind of special treatment, especially in real matches, no matter how strong the opponent is, there are still only a small number of traitors at home...

Zhang Yi didn't go into battle until about the last 3 minutes of the first quarter.At this time, the score had reached 25:12, and the first sentence Robert said when he was replaced was, "Sorry, we only lead by 13 points. I don't feel very good today."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately smiled awkwardly, thinking that fortunately he was not heard by the home players, Robert really deserves to speak...

The inside-out combination of Robert and Wally was replaced, but the generals of the Bucks did not feel relieved, because the most terrifying BOSS in the opponent's lineup just appeared...

The Bucks coach immediately made substitution adjustments.Randolph, the main second-year small forward, also played. Although he can't be regarded as a complete rookie, after all, he was already a super scorer who averaged 22 points per game last year.

The naive head coach thought he could overwhelm the new No. [-] pick with his strongest hand.It's just that the next round completely slapped him in the face.

Facing Randolph, Zhang Yi was able to shoot suddenly, and even used a change of direction to sway his opponent away, and then strode into the penalty area and dunked!
On the contrary, Randolph, who is known as a kaleidoscope of offense, suddenly misfired. When facing Zhang Yi for three consecutive rounds, he was defended against a mistake and a steal. not a level...

"Monster! God, let me meet this monster in the first game?!" The head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks was about to shed tears...
