No matter how hard you are, you can’t be bitter, no matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor in space?

Looking at the Bucks' lineup, there is a sense of déjà 'shot of a fierce cigarette, it's all for the child'. The Bucks' lineup has 4 elements:

Element 1, Baby - Antetokounmpo;

Element 2, School District House - Space Type No. 5, Turner;

Element 3, Loan - installment payment of Lillard's huge salary;

Element 4, Consumption downgrade - all players in various other positions.

is almost that's it.

The Bucks do their best to calculate the letters. Whether the decision itself is right or not is the same thing. The Bucks have been recruiting soldiers for many years and are unexplained. Lillard was injured, and the Bucks looked like they could not save them. While they still had letter contracts, they changed hands and finally got a vote and made a mouthful of blood. But the Bucks chose to squeeze their wallets and took out their historical courage to break Lillard's contract to introduce Turner. No matter what the final result is, the Bucks will be worthy of the Purple Micro Star in the future. Building a team around letters, all those who can work hard have worked hard.

The Bucks cut Lillard. When introducing Turner, I thought, "this is not over", because this is not enough. Letter + Turner, the inside combination is right. The overall lineup is still far from competing for the championship. At least you have to have an All-Star-level outside core. From the Bucks’ salary situation and trading chips, there is no hope of going through the regular channels, and I’m afraid someone needs to "arrange" them. This incident did not happen. I don’t know if it will happen in the future. There is no sign yet.

Of course, the Bucks' current lineup is OK, and they are all in all their internal organs, so they have whatever they want. Antetokounmpo's level is there, no one in the East can compete with him for the first star. Turner may already be the best space 5 puzzle in the league, and those who are better than him are the core team building. In addition to these two top-notch big-speakers, the Bucks also have these functional players:

outside developer. Kevin Porter Jr. and Cole Anthony, the two had the highest career round share in the seasons, reaching 24.8% and 24.5%. It is not stable and high-yield, but they both have explosive scoring. The highlights of the two of them are quite highlights. It is a "Harden" + "Luwei" style editing, and it is no problem to be fake or real;

3D and Sagittarius. Gary Harris is a 3D indeed. AJ Green, who hits 42.7% from three-point shooting percentage, is a real shooter. Trent Jr. and Prince are even more shooters +3D. In their respective roles, these are all useful. Trent Jr. and Prince are not inconsistent in starting games in general teams;

Multi-functional forward, scorer substitute 5 and finishing substitute 5. Let’s talk about it, is Kuzma a power forward who has both ending and projection, height, running and jumping, and ball-free, and both inside and outside? When he is in good shape, a single event may even score 85 points, giving him a quasi-All-star panel and visual impression. As a substitute shooter 5, Portis has shots and low posts. Sims is staggered with his characteristics and fills the ending track. The Bucks also have depth in the frontcourt.

As for Rollins, Livingston, and Taylor Smith, you can even praise him. At least you are young and a serious talent showman, so you are considered a growth responsibility. Rollins was able to sign another contract in the NBA, and it was higher than the basic salary, which was far beyond my expectations for him at the beginning.

The Bucks are a complete team that can be used to take out all the functions they should have. The current state is very similar to the early stage of playing the card draw game. If you don’t have money to spend money, you can only accumulate your family’s wealth bit by bit according to the importance. First, create a version of the answer-level five-star output, and then create a T0 auxiliary that matches this five-star output. Then I didn’t have the money to get T0, or even the money to get five stars, so I used a four-star character with the function to replace it. As long as the lineup is suitable, most scenarios can be passed. You can make daily life, do tasks, and get rewards every month. It is no problem - don’t play the rankings or play PVP. If you are in the lineup of the five-star T0, you can only bring shame to yourself.

, the Bucks have all the letters that can be given. The most difficult thing to do is to use the most critical space-type inside line, and the others are similar in shape and spirit. It is enough to destroy ordinary mid- and downstream teams in the regular season. Some puzzles can explode in a single game, and from time to time, they will also give the Bucks some surprises to defeat the top teams.

But the competition at the top of the NBA is too exaggerated. The top teams are definitely not only 1 to 2 strong people. Not to mention being armed to the teeth, a 5-player group at the starter level or above the playoffs, and 8-player rotation above the average line can be obtained. The Bucks' second best star is Turner, who is usually not a top-notch functional player, and what about the third best player? If Kuzma did not recover strongly, it might be Kevin Porter Jr.

Having Antetokounmpo for 12 seasons, I have been building a team around a star for so many years. I have not accumulated any seriousness since I entered the playoffs, so naturally I will lose less ammunition. The management has tried its best to play cheap puzzles this summer. It is not easy to have the current situation, but if you want to reach a sufficient level, you may have to have an unexpected reinforcement that shocked the league level.

Looking back, did Lillard trade accelerate the decline of the Bucks?

Veteran + Max salary + Achilles tendon injury, these three elements have put the deal out of the opportunity to continue to prove it. The final content of the Lillard+ letter combination is different from expectations. The two are not in the relationship of chemical reactions of 1+1>2, but more like the "double players" who are beautiful, further strengthening the way of playing to tear the main attacker apart the defense line and the puzzle to open up space. The firepower is fierce, and I am afraid there is no new things that each other has inspired each other.

Why is this happening?

After reflecting, I found that I was wrong.

From Lillard's side, he does not need the No. 4 position with better mobility and richer ball-holding skills to replace the No. 5 position to mention the middle lane, doing screening or transit work - directly grab the No. 5 position with slower legs and feet, and just throw it away in one step. Lillard deliberately made the ball for the cover man instead of tearing the defense line first, which may not be consistent with his style..

From the perspective of letters, it seems that we should return to our original intention and grasp the issue of why letters are letters. This has been summarized in last year's rating series - the strongest part of the letter is his inside level ending with the ball holding started from any position in the court. The basic qualities required for these two abilities are different, and there are usually contradictions, and now they appear in one person. This skill set omits the process from ball holder to terminator, which is a huge advantage and the core value of the letters.

When I wrote about Antetokounmpo, I always said that the letters needed to further develop his unball and support, rather than a projection that I couldn't practice. Now the letter has trained Zhongtou, and as a coverer, he still hasn't played any tricks. Without the ball and support are flexible gameplay. There is more choice and more opportunity, but the priority of flexible gameplay must still be after maximizing the core value. From this perspective, space + defense (and thus drives counterattack) is still the first element of building a team around letters, followed by point guard + second scorer.

Finally, where should we set the level of letters this year?

I still put it in T1 and remained moving.

In today's league, the first player is fixed and the second player rotates. Who is the second player depends on the situation in the season. Letters have been slightly away from the central stage in recent years - of course, if the midseason game takes place in March or April of each season, the memory will be deeper - but there is still no pressure to sit firmly behind the second person on the rotation as the third person.
