Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 234 Michael Reid Returns

Yi Jianlian played 25 minutes in this game, which is considered more among the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference. He scored 16 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds, and contributed 4 dunks. That is to say, dunks accounted for half of the total points.

From this score ratio, it can be seen that Yi Jianlian really didn't play seriously.

The 09 Phoenix All-Star Weekend has come to an end here.

It is worth mentioning that the NBA's trade deadline is around the All-Star weekend. In previous years, there were usually some buzzer-beating big deals at this time.

For example, last year, the Lakers traded for Paul Gasol from the Grizzlies, and the Mavericks traded with the Nets for Jason Kidd.

These two transactions directly collapsed a strong team in the middle of the playoffs in the East, and turned a top-ranked team in the West into a favorite to win the championship.

Going further, you can also find a lot of big deals that were completed before the trade deadline.

Only this year, the trade deadline came silently. Before the fans reacted, the free market was closed. The 30 teams didn’t make any big noises. Even if there were trades, they were just small fights. Noisy little deal.

The 09 free market closed much quieter than in previous years.

However, although there are no big transactions in the trading market, the fans of the Milwaukee Bucks are as happy as Christmas. According to the latest news from "ESPN", Michael, who was injured in the playoffs in April last year and was reimbursed for 4 months Reid finally fully recovered and is ready to play at any time, and Bucks head coach K also confirmed the news later.

"Gold's left hand is back, and the Bucks' firepower has been upgraded again!"

"The favorite to win the championship? The return of Michael Reid has made the Bucks one of the top players in the league!"

"Yi Ying is back as the biggest helper, Michael Reid may help Yi become the MVP of the regular season!"

For a while, because of Michael Reed's return, many experts said in interviews that they are infinitely optimistic about the Bucks with a complete lineup.

2 month 18 day.

The NBA regular season restarts.

The Bucks are also heading to Detroit today to challenge the Pistons away.

The Pistons, who sent Billups away, have been declining since the beginning of the season. They are currently only ranked No. 12 in the Eastern Conference. If they continue to lose, they will have to become the deputy squad leader of the Eastern Conference.

Most importantly, the new Allen Iverson did not get along well with the remaining "Piston Tigers". Rasheed Wallace and the others vented their dissatisfaction with the team on Allen. For Iverson, this made Allen Iverson, who no longer wanted to play well, even more reluctant to play. He missed daily training intentionally or unintentionally, and the head coach suspended him for several games.

And when the atmosphere in this team is bad, they met the upstarts in the Eastern Conference today, and still welcomed back the upgraded version of the All-Star guard Michael Reed second in the Eastern Conference. One can imagine what will happen!

Hmm~ the air smelled of being hanged and beaten.

Even the Detroit fans who came to watch the game today are ready to cheer for the Bucks.

But what no one expected was that the Pistons actually won today!
109:99.

Victory at the last moment!

Well, it was also after this victory that many fans discovered that the Pistons had won three consecutive victories.

And this happened to be the fourth game of Allen Iverson's suspension.

"The Pistons players are using another way to protest the management's deal, and after being squeezed out, they have re-shown their strength as a veteran team that has reached the Eastern Conference Finals for seven consecutive years!"

"As for Allen Iverson, he probably shouldn't be here!"

This victory also brought the contradictions in Detroit into the eyes of the public fans and became the headlines of the night.

As for the failure of the Bucks, all fans know the reason. Michael Reid made 13 of 3 shots, 4 of 0 three-pointers, 4 free throws and 30 free throws. He only scored 8 points in [-] minutes.

It is also because of his downturn that the Bucks will lose to Detroit tonight.

However, no one said anything about him. After all, he has been away from the stadium for 10 months, and he has only resumed training for a month. It is so easy to get back to his form immediately, but he has to adapt to two games first.

However, to the surprise of many fans, the next three games of the Bucks were another three-game losing streak.

14-of-5 from the field.

15-of-4 from the field.

13-of-2 from the field.

Here's Michael Reed's shooting stats in those three games.

For a player who is famous for his shooting, such a shooting rate can no longer be said to be a downturn!
What's more, his starting left the Bucks with one less perfect shield on the wing, Courtney Lee, who was a rookie and shot a few streets worse than Redd, but his defense was rookie The maturity rarely seen in China, and his defensive attitude is also very positive. It is also his existence that greatly makes up for the weakness of Mo Williams' perimeter defense. This makes the Bucks' backcourt this year no longer look like paper, but Michael The return of Redd has made the wing defense thin again.

The expected scoring firepower was lacking, and by the way, even the Bucks' defensive system was destroyed because of Michael Reid's return, which also made the Bucks win a wave of four consecutive losses for the first time since the season, which lasted for a long time The second place in the Eastern Conference was recaptured by the Magic.

And Howard just climbed into the third place in the regular season MVP list, squeezing Yi Jianlian to the fourth place.

This is the worst chain reaction, and one that no one expected.

No one thought that the return of Michael Reid, the former All-Star, would bring negative effects to the Bucks.

"Michael Reid must get back to his form as soon as possible to prove himself, otherwise his position may no longer be guaranteed!"

"Hammond may consider trading Michael Reid for some practical substitutes. To be honest, the original Bucks starting lineup is the most suitable lineup for Yi to play!"

"Maybe, Michael can try to start from the bench and slowly find his status!"

Under this circumstance, experts who were optimistic about Michael Reed's return put forward their own suggestions one after another. Some hoped that Michael Reed would recover his form sooner, some hoped that the team would replace Michael Reed, and some suggested that Michael Reid Germany started from the bench. In short, they all hope that the Bucks will make some changes. In their view, if the Bucks still stick to the current style of play, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.

While these rhythms are gradually increasing, Yi Jianlian voiced on Twitter: I have been counting the days of Michael's return since the beginning of the season. Now that he is finally back, the Bucks will definitely become stronger!
Just this paragraph.

The meaning is obvious, the Bucks will continue to stick to the current style of play, and it's useless for anyone to talk about it.

　Today is Tuesday, and the fixed update is the third update, uh...no update today (grievance).
