In fact, Xia Longwen's understanding of the NBA is basically at the half-level level, he only knows that Jordan is powerful, but he doesn't know where Jordan is powerful, and he doesn't know the significance of Jordan's two triple championships......

In his opinion, what Jordan can do, his brother Li Tuanjie can definitely do......

In this regard, Li Tuanjie can only say that he is speechless, and now Li Tuanjie's goal is to keep the ticket to the playoffs and sprint to a higher position in the rankings as much as possible.

His initial goal is to overtake the Nets and move into sixth place in the East, so that the Bucks will meet the Toronto Raptors in the playoffs based on their current Eastern Conference standings......

Against other teams, Li Tuanjie didn't have much confidence, but against the Raptors, Li Tuanjie was full of confidence, mainly because he was very confident in suppressing the Raptors' big boss Dragon King Bosh!

The best situation for the Bucks is to play the Raptors in the playoffs!

In that case, the Bucks, led by Li Tuanjie, may reach the second round of the playoffs!

……

On March 5, the Bucks sat at Bradley Arena at home to face the oncoming Los Angeles Lakers!

The two teams have played each other before, and this is the third time that Lee has played against the Lakers this season, once before when he was with the Mavericks, and twice more with the Bucks!

It's just that in the previous two games, Li Tuanjie has not had anything to do with Kobe, the positions of the two are different, and there are not many opportunities to meet on the court!

But in this third encounter, the situation has changed a lot, Li Tuanjie has been looking for opportunities to play against top outside players since he trained the purple outside defensive skill "Iron Gate"!

In the last game against the Heat, Li Tuanjie and Wade played against each other for a lot of time, and the iron gate played a very good effect!

And in this game against the Lakers, Li Tuanjie is also very interested in Kobe, the Lakers' leading boss!

Against Wade, the third quarterback in history, Li United's defensive effect is very good, but what about Kobe, the second quarterback in history? Li Tuanjie wanted to know if the iron gate could continue to play an excellent effect!

Before the game, Stotts didn't ask Li Tuanjie what position he wanted to play, and now Li Tuanjie basically belongs to the level of the emperor in the Bucks!

Its own strength is strong, and then the current boss of the Bucks is Li Tuanjie's brother, and Stotts can't wait to treat Li Tuanjie as an ancestor to offer......

He is very aware of his current situation, as long as he has a good relationship with Li Tuanjie, then as long as the bucks do not change the boss next, then he will definitely not lose his job!

Even if the Bucks have a good record, he may even be promoted and raised to the top of his life!

Speaking of which, Stotts' salary is only $1 million a year, which is the lowest among coaches in the NBA league, and Popovich's salary is eight times that of him!

If the Bucks can do well in the coming seasons, he may have the opportunity to take on a part-time role as the team's general manager and then increase his salary to two or three million to the average head coach......

"Coach, I'm going to defend Kobe Bryant on the defensive end this game, right?" Although Li Tuanjie can clearly feel that Stotts is very jealous of himself, Li Tuanjie is not the kind of arrogant person, and he still has to have at least respect for people!

If Li Tuanjie made this request before the last game against the Heat, I am afraid everyone would think that Li Tuanjie was crazy......

But now, as Li Tuanjie shows a strong outside defensive ability, Li Tuanjie's request is extremely normal!

Stotts nodded, Li Tuanjie's request must have been agreed to a hundred times, that evil star has Li Tuanjie's defensive killer to solve, he can't ask for it!

At half past eight o'clock in the evening, with the referee's whistle, the starters of both sides began to appear!

Unlike the situation against the Heat, the Lakers don't have a dominant interior player like O'Neal, so Li Tuanjie doesn't have to squat on the inside, he can focus his main defensive energy on the Lakers' number one attacker, Kobe Bryant!

As for the Lakers' No. 2 attacker Odom, Millsap is perfect for defense, and it is really overkill to let Li Tuanjie defend!

As soon as the game opened, in the cheers of tens of thousands of fans in Bradley Arena, Li Tuanjie directly met Kobe Bryant and began to face the player with the strongest offensive firepower in the league today!

Kobe Bryant smiled and looked at Li Tuanjie playfully, "Hmph, young man, I also watched the video of your last game, I have to say that your defense against Wade is relatively successful!" ”

"But haven't you noticed? Wade and I are not the same type of player at all! ”

Kobe Bryant said to Li Tuanjie with some disdain, Kobe Bryant is an extremely conceited player, and seeing Li Tuanjie mainly ask to defend himself, this is obviously an insult to him!

Li Tuanjie smiled, how could he not know that Kobe and Wade are not the same type of players at all!

Wade's main offensive means is to break through, while Kobe's offensive means are more diversified, there are almost no offensive means that he is not good at, even the back footsteps under the basket, Kobe can be regarded as a first-class level!

"Of course I know that you two are not the same type of player, after all, Wade's shooting percentage is fifty percent, and you're only shooting forty percent and five, haha, I feel like it might be easier for you to defend!" Li Tuanjie also didn't admit it at all, and he and Kobe Bryant exchanged ideas!

"Haha, come on, come on, look at Kobe's expression, it seems that what Li Tuanjie said just now angered him!"

"Amazing, I can finally see the performance of the enraged Kobe, come on, let's guess how many points Kobe can score this time, I feel that Kobe can score at least 40 points in this game!"

"Forty points?! This is an insult to Kobe, and the enraged Kobe Bryant has to score fifty or sixty points! ”

"I don't know what Li Tuanjie said, how could Kobe Bryant be angry like this!"

There are many discussions among fans outside the court, in this era, Kobe Bryant is very controversial in other aspects, but in terms of offense, he is the absolute first person in the league!

It was exciting to see the enraged offensive end come into full play for the first time!

Last season, Kobe Bryant slashed 60 points in the third quarter and scored 81 points in a single game, can it be repeated in this game?!

……

The first offensive round of the opening game belonged to the Bucks, but unfortunately Mike Reid didn't hit it, and the ball returned to the hands of the Lakers!

Who will execute the offense with the Lakers' ball, needless to say, everyone must know that it must be the absolute core of the team, Kobe!
