Against such a bottom-level opponent, the Dragon-Slaying Warriors will naturally win easily. In terms of pure strength, the Dragon-Slaying Warriors should be at an above-average level among the current 78 teams!

This is a very embarrassing grade. If you are high or low, you have to be low. If you are at the bottom of the grade, you will lose if you lose in the round robin. There is no hope anyway, and now the Dragon Slayer Warriors are indeed competitive. But it's not strong enough. If you want to compete for the final championship, you must continue to strengthen your own strength!

In the second game of the round robin, the Dragon Slayer Warriors finally won easily. Li Tuanjie's performance in this game was pretty good. The players he faced were just ordinary hosts in the S+ level. Li Tuanjie used his own With his crazy pull-up skills and a three-point shooting that doesn't have a high hit rate, I scored 30 points in this game, and my performance was pretty good!

After the first two games, the watershed between the two groups has emerged. There are still 10 teams in Group A that have maintained undefeated victories, and there are still nine teams in Group B that are undefeated. The Dragon Slaying Warriors The team currently has a record of one win and one loss, ranking outside the top ten in Group A.

…

The second game of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bucks and the Magic officially starts tonight, and it is still the Bucks' home court.

The moment Li Tuanjie walked out of the locker room, the system task was triggered again.

The task that was triggered this time was not a mandatory task, but an advanced task of the title system, which surprised Li Tuanjie.

It is true that this title advancement task only crosses a small rank. Even if Li Tuanjie completes the task, it will only slightly improve his strength.

But improvement is always a good thing!

The only thing that made Li Tuanjie a little confused was the mission goal of this title's advanced mission...

"Mission goal: Command your teammates to win the game without the host appearing!"

The goal of this mission is really annoying for Li Tuanjie. There is such a weird advanced mission to win the game when the host cannot appear...

Li Tuanjie drummed in his heart. He was quite familiar with the strength of the Magic. With the Magic's lineup, if Li Tuanjie didn't play for the Bucks, no one would be able to suppress Howard, and the game would be difficult to win. Got it!

The reason why the Bucks were able to win the Magic so easily in the first game of the Eastern Conference semifinals was because Li Tuanjie kept suppressing Howard in the penalty area, which prevented Howard from playing his due role!

And now that Li Tuanjie is unable to play, with Marc Gasol or Gortat, you can imagine how difficult it is to suppress Howard, who is currently the league's No. 1 center.

However, even if the difficulty is high, Li Tuan Tuan has to bite the bullet, because if this title advancement mission fails, the punishment will still be very severe. Li Tuan Tuan will be permanently deducted 20% of all attributes. !

"Brothers, I can't play in this game. I have to rely on you to win the game!" Li Tuanjie said to many of his teammates on the sidelines.

The Bucks generals looked stunned and had no idea what was going on. It seemed that Li Tuanjie was not injured, so why didn't he play? !

Li Tuanjie originally wanted to find an excuse, such as a bad stomach or tight hip muscles, or similar reasons, but after thinking about it, there was no need to curse himself like this...

Now that Li Tuanjie has decided not to play, Stotts can only come up with another starting lineup, which is to put Millsap at the power forward position.

As a result, the Bucks' starting lineup becomes Marc Gasol, Paul Millsap, Ron Artest, Mike Redd and Rajon Rondo.

With such a starting lineup, if all players are at their peak, they will definitely have the strength to compete for the championship, and even have a high chance of competing for the championship!

But now Marc Gasol, Millsap and others are newcomers after all, and they are still some distance away from their peak years. Therefore, after this lineup comes on stage and faces off against the Magic's starting lineup, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Li Tuanjie can't guarantee that his starting lineup will definitely beat the Magic. After all, the Magic's lineup will reach the finals in the future.

…

Li Tuanjie, wearing training clothes, stood with Stotts, paying close attention to the situation on the court. Nowadays, Li Tuanjie has experienced so many large-scale games. In terms of analysis and interpretation ability of the game, he is not at all as good as Stotts. Totz is weak, but once the situation on the field goes unfavorable, he can come up with reasonable tactical arrangements in a timely manner.

…

When the game started, Marc Gasol and Howard walked to the midfield line to execute a jump ball. Needless to say, the result was that Howard won the jump ball and gave the Magic the first offensive round.

Li Tuanjie stood on the sidelines and watched the game. It felt quite amazing!

At this moment, Li Tuanjie felt like a coach...

Stotts' feeling was not so wonderful. Standing on the sidelines with the very strong Li Tuan, he felt that he had instantly dropped a level, from the Bucks head coach to the assistant coach position...

…

At the beginning, the Magic saw that Li Tuanjie did not appear on the court, and they did not know what medicine the Bucks were selling in the gourd. They only knew that they had to take advantage of the time when Li Tuanjie was not present to score as many points as possible and try to gain a huge advantage. Only Only in this way can their Magic have a glimmer of hope of winning!

Howard lost the restriction of Li Tuan and played very bravely. He received an alley-oop pass from outside Ramon Sessions at the beginning and scored a dunk. In the second offensive round, he also caused Marc Gasol's Foul, two free throws from the free throw line!

In the first two offensive rounds of the Bucks, the playstyle was not smooth, and they all ended in blackouts, and the offensive rebounds were not protected...

The Bucks fans at the scene were extremely confused. They couldn't figure out why Li Tuanjie chose not to start the game at this time. After all, there is currently no news about Li Tuanjie being injured. Look at Li Tuanjie standing on the court. With a lively and energetic appearance, he will definitely be able to appear on stage!

"Is it possible that the Bucks want to train heavily in the playoffs?! Isn't this a bit too much?!"

"Who knows, I have no idea what Stotts is thinking..."

"Let's wait and see, maybe this game will give us a surprise!"

Poor Stotts became the scapegoat again...

…

In the first two minutes, the Magic had a 5-0 spurt. The situation on the court was extremely unfavorable for the Bucks!

However, the starting lineup of the Bucks is not a soft persimmon. The biggest reason why they fell behind at the start was that Li Tuanjie was suddenly absent, which made them uncomfortable!

In previous games, Li Tuanjie was almost shoulder-to-shoulder. He was the all-around king on the field. Li Tuanjie would appear in almost every corner of the field. Whether on the defensive or offensive end, Li Tuanjie played a mainstay on the field. effect!

And now that Li Tuanjie is not present, it is normal for the Bucks' starting players to not adapt well for a while. After just three minutes of adaptation time, they finally found their own game rhythm!

Even if Li Tuanjie is not present, the Bucks' starting lineup is actually luxurious. Artest and Reid, two All-star players, and the best of the three newcomers, are also very effective. powerful!

The momentum of the magic attack was immediately interrupted by the awakening stag, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle!

"My God, the Bucks were able to tie with the Magic without Li Tuanjie on the court?! No wonder the Bucks were able to beat the Magic so easily in the first game. It turns out that the strength of the two teams is really not there. On the same level!”

Seeing that after the first ten minutes of the first quarter, the Bucks were still only behind by five points, it means that after the Magic played that small climax, the scores between the two sides were basically even!

The Magic called a timeout and replaced Howard and Ramon Sessions. At present, the Magic did not know that Li Tuanjie would not appear in this game, so naturally they did not dare to consume Howard too much in the first half. physical fitness...

There were still two minutes left before the end of the first quarter and a timeout was called. Li Tuanjie knew without thinking that the Magic would definitely change their formation!

Li Tuanjie was also unambiguous and directly named five players, five up and five down!

Gortat, Thaddeus Young, Grant Hill, Sun Yue and Kyle Lowry started to appear!

Nick Young, who did not get a chance to play, looked embarrassed. He originally thought that he was highly valued by Li Tuan Tuan. However, on such an important occasion, Li Tuan Tuan did not put Nick Young on the court even though Li Tuan Tuan was playing five ups and five downs...

The current roster of the Bucks does not actually have 15 players, but only 14. If you take away two more leftovers, there will only be 12 players left...

In this game, Li Tuanjie will not appear. With Nick Young, Li Tuanjie does not dare to play rashly...

Nick Young is the kind of player who puts himself on the court and gambles. If the team is currently lagging behind by a big score, Li Tuanjie will definitely put Nick Young on the court and take a gamble. But now the situation between the two sides is basically evenly matched. Li Tuanjie In order to unite and seek stability, naturally we dare not let Nick Young appear...

If Li Tuanjie and Nick Young will not appear, it means that the Bucks will only have 10 players left to play in this game!

Five up and five down is Li Tuanjie's strategy for this game. The strength of the first lineup is comparable to the Magic's pure starting lineup. Although the strength of the second lineup is not as good as the first one, its overall strength is It should not be underestimated either.

At least according to Li Tuanjie's estimation, this second lineup composed of Gortat, Old Hill, Xiaogang Pao and others will not have a big problem against the teams at the bottom of the Eastern Conference...

Soon, the timeout ended and both teams returned to the field again!

The Bucks' five-up, five-down tactics once again made fans at the scene exclaim...

Generally speaking, the five-up and five-down tactical arrangement occurs when the team is behind by a big score and gives up resistance or when the team is ahead by a big score. If it continues to play, it will be suspected of scoring points. In this case, the head coach of the team Only then would they choose to use the five-up-five-down tactic.

Of course, the last possibility cannot be ruled out, which is the punitive five-up-five-down. For example, Spurs head coach Popovich is accustomed to using this kind of punitive measure. The main starting players played a mess on the court. Popovich Qi will directly remove all the starting players, replace them with a pure substitute lineup, and let the starting players sit on the bench to reflect...

Needless to say, uninformed fans will naturally start to blame Stotts for his mess...

…

The appearance of the second lineup of the Bucks achieved good results right from the start!

Gortat makes it difficult for the Magic to deal with it. Gortat was originally acquired from the Magic by Lee Tuan Tuan in exchange for Ramon Sessions. As a result, Gortat became very energetic as soon as he played against the Magic...

Among all the centers in the league today, the first-line centers are naturally the few All-Star-level centers, or the very few who have All-Star center-level strength, but have not been selected for the All-Stars. The number of these first-line centers is not large. Li Tuan has counted them. The number is estimated to be only five or six!

After the first-line center, there is the second-line center. There is no doubt that Marc Gasol and Gortat in the Bucks are both second-line centers. Marc Gasol is the stronger among the second-line centers, while Gortat is the second-line center. He is a relatively average second-line center.

Even so, because the Magic traded Gortat, they currently don't even have a third-line center in the team. They only have a low-quality corner material center. How can he be Gortat's opponent!

In the first three offensive rounds, Gortat grabbed two offensive rebounds and scored a dunk, completely blowing up the opposing Magic center.

Although Lowry served as the point guard of the second team, due to some immature reasons, his organizational skills were still not good. Therefore, in this lineup, Grant Hill served as the central pivot player on the court, and the effect was excellent!

A veteran in a family is like a treasure. Grant Hill, a living fossil player in the league today, can indeed give these newcomers a direction to work on...

Li Tuanjie is extremely lucky that he had the discernment to sign Grant Hill for only five million US dollars. It is true that Grant Hill's statistics are not very good this season due to the restriction of playing time, but as long as he is on the court, One minute, based on his efficiency on both ends of the court, this salary of five million US dollars is extremely valuable!

Until the referee blew the whistle to end the first quarter, the original five-point difference was completely wiped out by the Bucks' second team, and the scores were completely tied!

…

Li Tuanjie couldn't help but be happy off the court. According to this situation, as long as he stabilizes, winning against the Magic doesn't seem to be too difficult!

He was happy, but the Bucks fans at the scene were in trouble. Fans who were used to seeing the Bucks win games in a destructive manner found it extremely difficult to accept the fact that the Bucks tied with their opponents in the first quarter!
