In the NBA in the 80s, people experienced the era of "black and white" led by Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, experienced the brief domination of the 76ers led by Moses Malone and Dr. "J", and witnessed the rise of the "Bad Boy Army" under the leadership of Thomas.
But when it comes to the NBA in the '80s, the Milwaukee Bucks are always forgotten.
The Bucks became the "quasi-king" of the Eastern Conference giants with their "unique" tactical system in that era.
Under the leadership of coach Nelson Sr., the Bucks' overall win percentage is second only to the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.
What they do best is tough defense and team basketball.
Their leader is Moncrieff, the founder of the NBA's defensive wing, the first person in NBA history to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award.
There is even a saying in the NBA that the NBA originally established the Best Defensive Player award to reward Moncrieff's great contribution on the defensive end and his defensive work attitude.
This dedicated professional attitude also made him the most popular athlete in Milwaukee in the 80s.
In terms of league statistics, although Moncliff cannot enter the top 10 in the league in terms of points, rebounds and assists, it still does not prevent him from becoming the core leader of the league's top team.
He is the new king of the Bucks revival in the post-Abdul-Jabbar era.
Although he is only 1.91 meters tall, Moncrieff is extremely versatile on the court, scoring, rebounding, box slots, assists, passes, dunks, almost everything proficient and omnipotent.
His defensive moves are enough to be written into the textbook of basketball guards.
He always presses his center of gravity very low, and then clings to the opponent with his agile but strong body, never letting the opponent fall away easily.
Excellent bounce makes up for his lack of height, and his blocking ability exceeds that of the average point guard; Even if he is misplaced to defend a big man under the basket, he will not lose position quickly; After the team's shot or turnover, he is often the first to return to the defense.
In 1982-83, the NBA first award for the best defensive player, which was almost tailor-made for Moncrieff. For the second year in a row, the award was in Moncrieff's pocket.
Even so, he is still not the shining man balloon star in the league, and he is always forgotten.
Especially in the playoffs in recent years, the Bucks have been blocked from the Finals by the Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers, as if under a curse.
Just like now, after the retirement of Magic Johnson, the league lost its black-and-white gimmick and began to create a showdown between Zhou Chen and Jordan's "22VS23".
Everyone is watching the two rising supernovas in the '84 draft, looking forward to the quarterback showdown between Zhou Chen and Jordan leading a new era in the NBA.
And the Milwaukee Bucks, in the regular season this season, unknowingly reached the second place in the East.
After experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers are now finally on track under the leadership of Zhou Chen and have reached the second place in the West.
In this game, they came to the home of the Milwaukee Bucks.
A direct clash between the 2nd West and the 2nd East.
One is known for its gorgeous offense and has the strongest "spear" in the league; One is known for its solid defense and has the strongest "shield" in the league.
The starting lineup for the Bucks side is: center Randy Brewer, forward Terry Cummings, small forward Paul Plessy, shooting guard: Sidney Moncrieff, point guard Craig Hodges.
In order to deal with the Bucks' team defense, the Lakers decided to "fight violence with violence".
They fielded the lineup of Cooper, Zhou Chen, AC Green, Rambis and Ball today.
This lineup is also the highest lineup the Lakers can currently field.
Since Zhou Chen entered the league, he has been dubbed the most gorgeous guard in history, which also makes people often overlook his defensive ability.
He was the first player in NBA history to win the steal king in his rookie season.
This season, Zhou Chen has had a highlight performance in preventing Bird from scoring goals in sports battles.
In the last game against the Pistons, the Lakers limited opponents to get the lowest score in a single game in history, and Zhou Chen's "death entanglement" is the epitome of the entire team's defense.
In this game, facing two-time best defensive player Moncrieff, Zhou Chen is bound to prove to the world who is the strongest defender in the league.
After the start of the game, Zhou Chen directly sacrificed the "death entanglement" defense in the confrontation with Moncrieff.
With a pair of long arms and big hands, he obviously has stronger defensive talent than Moncrieff, which is also a necessary condition for "death entanglement".
After the opening, Moncrieff faced Zhou Chen's multiple mid-range jumpers, all of which ended in vain.
The Lakers blossomed more, and Bol took advantage of his height and hit small throws in a row, helping the Lakers establish a lead.
Subsequently, the Bucks changed their offensive tactics, Moncrieff switched to secondary offense, and the Bucks played steadily from the inside and slowly chased the score.
In the first half, the Lakers led by just two points 40-38.
In the first quarter, Zhou Chen only made 5 shots, hit 3 goals, scored 8 points, gave 8 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks.
Moncrieff scored only 2 points under Zhou Chen's defense.
After the start of the second half, Moncrieff suddenly burst into hand and hit consecutive strong shots against Zhou Chen's defense.
This kind of big outbreak without warning was also helpless in Zhou Chen's opinion.
And Moncrieff now doesn't take possession of the ball at all, almost becoming a catch-and-shoot player.
The Bucks, under Moncrif's outburst, suddenly played a wave of 8-0 mini-climax to overtake the score.
Faced with Moncrieff's sudden explosion, Zhou Chen decided to change his defensive strategy.
Because his death wraps around the defense, the interference effect on the attacker with the ball is the best, and in the face of Moncrieff's sudden burst on the off-the-ball end, it has little effect.
Therefore, Zhou Chen used a defensive move that was beyond the times.
The Bucks ran out of tactical shooting space, Moncrieff bypassed cover, and after receiving the ball, he shot directly from a long distance for two points!
Just in that instant, Zhou Chen suddenly stretched out one of his big hands from the front and covered Moncrieff's face!
The hand is so big, I can't put it down....
Zhou Chen's operation directly made tens of thousands of spectators and fans on the scene and the players on the sidelines stunned...
Even the old commentators who had been reading the ball for many years were so shocked that they couldn't describe Zhou Chen's defensive action!
"What is this operation?!"
"Can you defend like this?"
"It's you, Zhou Chen!"
