With the end of the main game, the annual All-Star Weekend is also over. The participation of five Grizzlies in the All-Star Game this year will inevitably become a good story in NBA history and become an unprecedented success.

It's not appropriate to say goodbye, because after all, Jiang Dongbing has not retired yet, and it is not impossible for his team to have five players selected as All-Stars in the future.

…

The regular season has restarted, and now the entire league is focusing on the Grizzlies' regular season record. More than half of the season has been played, and the Grizzlies still have not lost a single game. Which team can break it?

Grizzlies winning streak.

Nowadays, the Grizzlies no longer know how many winning streaks they have broken. Generally speaking, there are two types of winning streaks, one is the season winning streak, and the other is the starting winning streak.

The season winning streak record was previously held by the Lakers. In the ancient times of 1972, the Lakers, led by coaches Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West, created a record of 33 consecutive wins in the season.

If the Grizzlies had not appeared, it would not be too much to say that this record would be an eternal record. Today, as basketball becomes more and more modern, it would be too difficult to break such a record. Even the Bulls dynasty could not achieve this.

feat.

What's interesting is that even though the Bulls hold the record for wins in a single season, their winning streak is actually not impressive. The highest is 18 consecutive wins in a season, which is not ranked at all in history.

Now that the Grizzlies have won consecutively for more than half a season, they can easily break the Lakers' record.

Another record of winning streak at the start of the season is held by the Rockets. The Rockets started the 1993-94 season with a record of 15 consecutive wins, which was the best start in the history of the NBA.

However, compared with the current grizzly bears, it is definitely not good enough and there is no comparison at all.

Jiang Dongbing remembers that the Warriors of later generations had a record of 24 consecutive victories in the beginning, which shocked all fans at the time. But now that the Grizzlies' record is ahead, even if the Warriors of later generations can still achieve such a record, I'm afraid it won't be too impressive.

Shocked.

The Grizzlies' first game after the All-Star break is against the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Bucks' strength is generally in the middle of the Eastern Conference, and the Magic and the two teams are known as the goalkeepers of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Originally, not many people paid attention to this game. After all, the Bucks were not that good, and they would definitely not be the team to end the Grizzlies' winning streak.

To end the Grizzlies' winning streak, at least it has to be a team of the Lakers or Spurs level. It can be said that no team in the Eastern Conference has a chance to end the Grizzlies.

As a result, after the game was over, all the fans were dumbfounded. The Bucks actually won!

And instead of winning by three points and five points, they actually won by 10 points at their home court? It can be said to be a huge victory over the Grizzlies.

For a moment, Bucks fans seemed to be celebrating the New Year? What does it mean to defeat the Grizzlies? It means...

The Bucks have better luck?!

In fact, is it true that the Bucks are lucky? They should be said to be the team with the strongest three-point ability in the starting lineup in the entire league except the Grizzlies.

The gentleman's sword Ray Allen, Big Dog Robinson, the alien Cassell and the relatively rare space-type fourth position Tim Thomas, coupled with a blue-collar center Earvin Johnson who has the same name as Magic, they really have

The capital to play three-pointers.

Maybe it's because they were stimulated by the Grizzlies? The Bucks this season are completely different from last season.

Last season, the Bucks mainly focused on breakthroughs and mid-range shots. Supplemented by Ray Allen's three-pointers, this season the Bucks have turned into a three-point team.

In this league now, space-oriented fourth positions are not very common, and it is only because of Jiang Dongbing that the Grizzlies have obtained many fourth positions who can shoot three-pointers.

This Tim Thomas is a typical space-oriented fourth position? It's just that Jiang Dongbing doesn't like him, so he never takes action against him.

When the Bucks become a three-point team, the upper limit of this team becomes too high. As long as they feel good, they really have the capital to overturn everything.

Jiang Dongbing originally didn't pay much attention to the game against the Bucks? Many players were rested? David and Ou, as well as Jackson and Billups, were not taken to Milwaukee.

He was thinking that just after the All-Star Weekend, he wanted the players to adjust their condition. Anyway, the Bucks are not a strong team? With the Grizzlies' current lineup, they can still beat the Bucks.

As a result, this slight caused the grizzly bear to suffer a lot.

Ben's current strength has not yet reached its limit, and he does not have a clear advantage against the blue-collar center Johnson in his peak period.

After all, Johnson averaged 11 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game during his peak period, which is not just a mistake. If Ben reaches his peak, it will definitely not be a big problem to deal with Johnson.

The center position did not have a clear advantage, which meant that the Grizzlies had no advantage in rebounding. The reason for the loss was obvious, that is, the Bucks' three-point shooting percentage was higher than that of the Grizzlies players.

In addition to Ben, the Grizzlies also have Kirilenko, Peja, Ginobili and Artest on the field. Logically speaking, it will not be a problem for these four to take care of the Bucks, but the players' status is very unstable.

Normally, the Grizzlies were very unlucky tonight, as all four players were out of shape offensively.

On the other hand, the Bucks were in extremely good shape. Even if the Grizzlies used the strong defense of Artest and Kirilenko to limit the opponent, they were unable to win the game.

Ray Allen made 15 crazy three-point shots in the game, and hit 9 of them. Jiang Dongbing's heart trembled as he shot directly with a super high shooting rate...

Relying on these nine three-pointers, Ray Allen scored a total of 36 points!

As for Big Dog Robinson, his three-point shooting is definitely not as good as Ray Allen's, but he took 10 three-pointers this time and hit four of them. His 40% three-point shooting rate was also higher than his normal level.

Even the alien Cassel, who is not good at three-pointers, scored three three-pointers tonight, and Tim Thomas also scored two.

Other substitute players also scored more or less three-pointers.

Throughout the game, the Bucks took more than 40 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting rate of over 40%. With such a terrifying offensive, it can be said that the Grizzlies' loss was not unfair at all.

For a moment, Jiang Dongbing seemed to see the shadow of future Warriors in this Bucks team...

However, although the Bucks played well tonight, the first reason why they were able to defeat the Grizzlies was that they played really well, and the second reason was that the Grizzlies did not have all their main players.

If the Grizzlies went all out and used their entire main lineup, the Bucks would not be able to hit so many three-pointers so easily tonight.

Compared with the defense of Peja and Ginobili, compared with Jackson and Billups, it is still a lot different. If the Grizzlies have Artest in the backcourt, Jackson plus Billups' trident iron

Gate, the Bucks' shooting percentage will definitely plummet.

Even though he lost to the Bucks, Jiang Dongbing actually didn't take the Bucks seriously.

If you just look at the lineup, this Bucks team is actually strong enough. There is no fault at all on the offensive end, and it is ranked among the best in the league.

But the defensive level is so bad, it is not at the same level as the offense. Maybe their offense is at the top of the league, but their defense is at the bottom of the league.

It's hard to describe Ray Allen's defense. The real reason that restricted him from becoming a superstar is his defense. If he has the defense like Kobe, he may have a place among the four major shooting guards.

Of course, after joining the Celtics, Ray Allen's defense obviously improved a lot. Especially in the years after he left the Bucks and joined the Seattle SuperSonics, Ray Allen's defense was probably at the bottom among shooting guards.

The presence.

Big dog Robinson has great physical fitness, but he is lazy and conceited. If he is expected to defend as hard as a blue-collar outside line, even if he can do it, he will definitely not be willing to do it.

Cassell is actually in a similar situation to Nash. It’s not that he doesn’t want to guard, but that he can’t guard. He is the same height as Nash, but weighs ten pounds less than Nash. It’s good that this small body can protect himself on the court.

Think about defending.

As for Tim Thomas, in this day and age, whether you want to admit it or not, only those players who are not good defensively at the four position will play the space four position. This is the case with Raheem, this is the case with Lewis, and the same is true for this Thomas.

As a power forward, Thomas has maintained an average of 0.3 or 0.2 blocks per game all year round. He is not like a normal person. This is why Jiang Dongbing looks down on Thomas.

Raheem's defense is bad enough, but compared with Thomas, it is DPOY level.

Taking a comprehensive look at it, it is easy to see why the Bucks are still unable to achieve a record that leads the Eastern Conference despite having such an excellent offense.

Jiang Dongbing's basketball philosophy is very clear. Defense is the foundation for building a team, and it is the foundation of the foundation. In the entire history of the NBA, no team has won the championship with garbage defense.

Absolutely no team!

The reason why the Grizzlies are so successful is that Jiang Dongbing has hired a lot of strong defensive players. If these were all offensive players, then even if the Grizzlies still have many stars, they might not be as dominant as they are now.

…

"Coach Jiang, wait a minute!"

Just when Jiang Dongbing was about to leave the field with his generals after losing the game, Ray Allen anxiously called out to Jiang Dongbing, seemingly wanting to say something to Jiang Dongbing.

Although his winning streak was ended, Jiang Dongbing didn't take it seriously at all. If he wanted to create such a record in the future, he could do it at any time, and there was no need to rush.

"Young man, what's the matter?" Jiang Dongbing turned to look at Ray Allen curiously. If he remembered correctly, he and Ray Allen had not communicated much before.

"Coach Jiang, can I ask you what we, the Bucks, should do now to get rid of this situation?" Ray Allen asked with some embarrassment.

Jiang Dongbing was startled, what does this mean? Good guys, you just defeated the Grizzlies, and you came to ask the Grizzlies head coach how to play?

"Young man, young people should not be ungrateful. You won beautifully, but if you think the Bucks will be the opponent of the Grizzlies, then you may be overthinking." Jiang Dongbing only thought that Ray Allen was teasing him, so

Didn't look good at all.

Ray Allen turned red at these words, "Coach Jiang, you misunderstood, I really didn't mean that."

"In addition, this is also the question our coach George wants to ask..."

Jiang Dongbing knew clearly in his heart that George Karl, an old gangster, was too embarrassed to open his mouth to him, so he called on Ray Allen to "ask for advice" from him.

George Karl also graduated from the University of North Carolina, was Jordan's old senior, and was also a very experienced head coach in the league. The year when Jiang Dongbing just traveled through time, the old George even led the team to the finals.

It's a pity that that was the only highlight period of George Sr.'s coaching career, and he never entered the finals again.

Seeing Jiang Dongbing not speaking, Ray Allen continued to beg: "Coach Jiang, please give me some advice. This is my fourth season with the Bucks."

"Looking at the players in the same class, many of them have achieved very high achievements now. I don't want to waste my time in the Bucks."

Jiang Dongbing sighed, "Young man, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you Bucks are destined to have no future."

"Defend! Defend! Defend!"

"Defense is the foundation of a team. Look at your Bucks' defense. I said it's garbage. Do you have any objections?"

Ray Allen stopped talking. Jiang Dongbing said that the Bucks' defense was rubbish. He had no objection to this. However, Ray Allen felt that he had to blame head coach George Karl for this matter.

There have been many crazy head coaches in the history of the league who were willing to abandon defense for the sake of offense. D'Antoni is undoubtedly one of them, but before D'Antoni, George Karl was the representative of this type of head coach.

In the NBA in the 1990s, George Karl's team could even average 110 points per game, which explains everything. You must know that more than 20 years later, teams averaging more than 110 points per game will not

too much.

The head coach is an offensive lunatic, and few of the players are decent defensively. How can the Bucks' defense not be rubbish?

Jiang Dongbing was gone, and Ray Allen let out a long sigh. The Bucks were definitely out of business. Unless such a team undergoes a major overhaul, they will never become the favorite seed for the championship.

…

"What? Did he really say that?" George Karl asked angrily after hearing Jiang Dongbing's words from Ray Allen in the locker room.

As the head coach of the team, George Karl naturally felt unhappy when someone called him rubbish so bluntly.

But after he got angry, he carefully studied Jiang Dongbing's words and found that what Jiang Dongbing said actually made sense.

He has always believed that offense is the best weapon to win, but now this belief is showing signs of collapse. If offense was really that effective, the team he led would have won the championship long ago.
