Since winning against the Celtics, the team has entered the preparation stage!

They are going to win the game against the Rockets. Then they will be ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference!

According to Coach Kidd's arrangement, they should end up ranked 6th or 7th in the Eastern Conference. Then they will compete with the 2nd or 3rd ranked team in the Eastern Conference.

Judging from the current Eastern Conference rankings, the second place is the Cavaliers, and the third place is the Wizards...

Both teams are not weak. But in comparison, the Wizards are slightly better.

The competition among the teams ranked 3-5 in the Eastern Conference is fierce! If nothing goes wrong, the Celtics should be able to rise to fifth place, and then they will play the Bulls in the first round of the playoffs.

According to calculations, even if the team loses a game during this period, it will eventually enter eighth place in the Eastern Conference after winning the Rockets. But the Bucks did not lose a game!

The game between the Bucks and Rockets is becoming more and more popular online!

The Bucks currently have a 15-game winning streak! And the Rockets now have an 11-game winning streak! The Bucks are still 5 games away from the highest winning streak in team history! And the Rockets are still 11 games away.

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

The ninth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference and the Rockets, known as the "Warriors' nemesis" this season, have now squeezed out the Spurs and ranked second in the Western Conference!

Teams that play against the Rockets all know that if you get too close to Harden, you are in danger of leaving the game with six fouls. This is true no matter which quarter of the game it is.

After a season, many teams feel that the referees on the field are too "oriented" towards the Rockets!

...

The current training volume of the Bucks players has increased a lot.

They have also begun the final sprint for this season.

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

On this day, Houston Rockets players came to the Bradley Center 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 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?!

Anyone who hears this news will feel incredible.

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

The Bucks have been very interesting this season. They have experienced internal strife, disorganized team organization, chaotic team player coordination, and unreasonable assignments by the coach.

But this team has also played many highlight performances!

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

This is like the top lane hero who has a strong ability to regenerate blood. You think he is going to be killed with a knife, but in fact nothing happens to him.

You watch helplessly as the opponent recovers health quickly from his remaining health in the final exchange. In the end, he knocks you down and successfully harvests the heads, then directly pushes the tower...

The Bucks are such a team, they can fight you slowly until the end. You think you are safe, but then you take over the opponent but turn the situation around in the end!

Under the same ranking, the Western Conference now averages 6.9 more wins per game than the Eastern Conference!

Judging from this year's data, the Western Conference teams are generally stronger than the Eastern Conference teams. What's more, the two teams currently 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 and three-point shooting with the opponent. Needless to say, the Warriors' offense this season is very explosive.

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

The Rockets' treatment of the Warriors is also very simple and rude. That is, you and I 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 defensive end, number of turnovers, number of fouls and offensive efficiency.

This season's online evaluation of the Rockets is quite controversial.

On the one hand, the Rockets were a very good team in the regular season, but failed in the playoffs. When they entered the playoffs, either Harden couldn't play well, or the game was full of mistakes and fouls.

In the playoffs, it's like it's time to settle things with the Rockets... The misjudgments or opportunities given to the Rockets in a season seem to have been recovered in the playoffs.

D'Antoni was so angry that he flew into a rage on the sidelines, and Harden's signature hand gesture was of no use at all.

The referee's attitude is that we accept you watching the replay video after the game. But we do not accept rebuttal.

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

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

You have to admit that sometimes referees have their cuteness. For example, they take troublesome opponents out of the playoffs for you~

But such a team is still worthy of the Bucks taking it seriously.

There are differences between them and the Warriors. For example, the Warriors' players have a very clear division of labor. Green, if you defend, you will be finished. For Thompson, defensive three-pointers are his standard equipment.

Curry is matched by his ability to organize three-pointers. The Rockets are different. Many players can do everything.

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

For example, the Rockets attach great importance to three-pointers this season! They can easily defeat their opponents in a game with three-pointers!

Don't talk useless nonsense to us on the Internet. Let's touch it in reality. In the end, it depends on whether the referee punishes you or not.

Also, their high-explosive damage is the main feature of the Rockets on the court! And now they have Warcraft under the basket, which is the biggest headache for the Warriors this season!

It's like you have skills in normal times, but end up encountering krypton gold players...

Houston has made great efforts to find the league's top monster! I'm asking if you are afraid, at least you can't hold the ball and fight the opponent's Howard during the game, right?

Therefore, as long as Warcraft is there for the Bucks' interior defense, they have nothing to do. There are not many opportunities for the Bucks.

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

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

...

Kidd: "It's similar to when we met strong teams at the beginning of the season. I'll focus on this game to see who makes fewer mistakes.

You also know that we are about to play in the playoffs. Some time ago, the management said that the team can enter the playoffs. Hum... bullshit!"

Some Bucks players present thought: "...If you want to do this, coach, then you are really a 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, right?"

Parker: "Coach, don't worry. We won't record your words. We've enjoyed listening to them~"

The surrounding players started laughing. Parker's serious expression just now also softened a bit.

Kidd: "That's right. The first round of the playoffs is very easy to play. If the Cavaliers finally meet us, we have to eliminate them. The next games will also be evaluated.

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

The coach's behavior in recent games has become increasingly strange.

As a player of the team, I can't say much. For example, Kidd's recent performance is as if it is natural for them to win. He is very calm, and his expression is not exciting anymore.

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

This season, Antetokounmpo, Parker and Li Feng have earned their ticket money back. The management did not expect that the team would still be able to enter the playoffs...

Their idea is very simple. With the high-ranking Parker, the Asian player Li Feng, and the letters they have carefully cultivated in the past few years, it is enough to attract fans to buy tickets~

I have to say that the Rockets and Bucks have made a lot of money on this over the years.

But as a player, sometimes it's great to play at the Bradley Center, home of the Bucks.

The fans at the venue are always full! When there are a large number of fans roaring and cheering for you and your team during the game, it is very satisfying to be on the sidelines.

Sometimes, for a moment, you feel like your body is full of energy. This energy seems to be the extra skills given to you by the fans!

Rockets players came on the court one after another. Some fans cheered, and some boos could even be heard...

When the Bucks players came on the field, the noise was several times louder!

The faces of the Rockets players were very calm. They started to warm up on the court not long ago. The players did not communicate much. On the other side, the Bucks players were very relaxed.

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

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

There is also Terry, a veteran with a hot temper and outstanding ability, who is on the team. There is Warcraft on the inside and Magneto on the outside!

Harden, who was beaten by the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs last season, was unhappy in various ways. This season, we can clearly see the improvement in his ability on the court!

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 new record since he came to the NBA! The highest number of rebounds last time was 13 in a single game.

During normal discussions, it became clear that the team must establish a starting center as soon as possible.

O'Bryant III and Pachulia both tried, but ultimately felt that Hansen was more suitable for the starting center position.

He's pretty good, he can rebound and pass the ball. That's enough. And Hansen's turnovers are now the least.

When you encounter an opponent with strong abilities in all aspects, you will definitely make more mistakes if you make less mistakes!

If we can score a few more points quickly during this period, it will have a positive effect on the entire game.

Li Feng talked about this game with his little sister on the phone. The final rating of poisonous milk in the system was 2 stars...
