The way to defeat the Bucks is simple, that is, to limit the alphabet brother. This is the habitual thinking of many fans, because the Bucks seem to have a strong point in the alphabet brother, and Budenholzer's system can only maximize the utility of the alphabet brother. Therefore, everyone will habitually think that the alphabet brother is limited, and the Bucks will not be able to break the game. On the face of it, there is nothing wrong with this statement. Or, in previous years, this practice was recognized as mainstream.
But no team has been stagnant, the Bucks have been changing their strategies, and The Alphabet Brother is constantly adjusting his abilities. In this cruel shuluo field, walking is like a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. While the alphabet brother evolved, the opponent did not give a plan that could limit the alphabet brother, and the final result was that everyone could not change this situation, and then was harvested by the bucks. The Fact that the Bucks were able to win the championship in Season 21 is the best proof of that.
Different teams have different answers to the question of how to beat the Bucks. The restrictions we talked about earlier are actually just one. Because most of the teams without characteristics can only use the strength of the front group when facing the Bucks. But if we start with the Bucks' defensive strategy, we can find some unusual offensive solutions. For example, the Warriors' answer to this question is different from other teams.
What is a Healthy Warrior? It was a three-point brigade that the whole league was afraid of. For a strong team like the Bucks that gave up three-point defense, the Warriors can solve it with the help of strong outside firepower. Of course, this situation can only occur when Holliday has not yet joined. The Bucks, who already have Holliday, are less afraid of terrifying outside shots. It's just that before that, warrior-type teams did have a good play.
It has to be said that Budenholzer is indeed very clever, he did not choose to stick to his defensive strategy all the time, but after a two- to three-year trial cycle, he began to reform. The key content of the reform is to change the benchmark defensive strategy with Da Luo as the core. This is a key issue because the type of center can determine a team's defensive strategy to some extent. Da Luo's movement speed is not very fast, so the early Kidd form, to create mistakes, hit a quick attack counterattack is not suitable for the Bucks. The first thing Budenholzer did to take over this lineup was shrink. Give up a portion of the three-pointers, so that the overall height of the team in the middle distance, close range areas have enough advantage. The long-handed monster near the outside line can naturally use its own advantage to launch a counterattack, but the matching lineup behind it will not keep up so quickly. You can also understand that the ability to make up in the later stages is not so strong, and the main defensive form of the team is not in this one.
Before Holliday showed up, the team's routine was indeed like this. So for some outside attacks, how can the team solve it? Isn't it hard to let them project? Definitely not. The Bucks are indeed a bit of a waste of their talents, but this behavior is also the best solution for that time period. What is the Bucks' approach? They let the alphabet brother sweep. From the flanking area, sweep all the way to the outside line. I have to admire that the alphabet brother is the strongest body template in the league, and it is rare to give a good efficiency in this environment of such a toss-up physical strength, while taking into account the output of both ends of the attack and defense.
The previous defensive scene of the Bucks was that if the opponent broke through to the inside line, the alphabet brother would follow the defense and limit the opponent together on the inside line. If the opponent passes the ball to the outside line, the letter brother will run to the outside line in time to receive the ball. This practice is a bit of a toss-up, but it works. It's just that for a team that wants to compete for the championship, it's not the optimal solution. That's why there are the reforms that follow. Alphabet Brother focuses on the defense of the inside, while Holliday can stir up trouble in front. To be honest, the role of Holliday is really not something that ordinary players can do. Holliday's defensive effect in the same position is the first gear.
In fact, there are players in the league who can achieve similar results, even better than Holliday. For example, Paul, who was healthy and physically supported in the early days, is undoubtedly the best candidate for the mature version of the Bucks. Unfortunately, by the time the Bucks matured, Paul had lost his best advantage. Now Holliday can guarantee to limit the opponent's main defender, then the problem of the guard line will not directly interfere with the Bucks' overall defense. In this way, if the opponent wants to defeat the Bucks, he must defeat Holliday's first level.
So you can find that when your team has enough forward players ready, if you want to use these players to limit the alphabet brother, there will be a new problem, how to let your defender break the game? Regardless of the resource situation, a few more shooters can be used. It's just that most teams don't have that configuration.
What's more, the current formation, if there are only front-line players, can not limit the letter brother, this is also a problem. I don't know if you have seen the round of the alphabet brother and James single-handed, a back, a shake, although the amplitude is not very large, and then shift the pace, directly turn over the jump shot. Less shaking, no Kobe flavor, just the same effect. Without shaking, it can also be understood that the figure of the alphabet brother really does not need to use this kind of false move, and his long-hand advantage is that Gobert cannot defend, let alone James.
This trick has a prerequisite element, and the alphabet brother's mid-range shot must have a stable hit rate. Is there a letter brother now? There really is! The alphabet brother after returning from the offseason does have this ability, so after practicing shooting, we will find that whether it is a single defense of a single person or a multi-person defense, the letter brother has a cracked coping method. (Alphabet Brother is now much better than before, no hesitation, individualism has been integrated into the team, which is the best improvement point for the Bucks)
In this context, how do you fight the bucks? If the Nets hadn't dismantled it, there would have been a chance. The ultimate offensive lineup, the Bucks are difficult to overcome. So in the end, it's not the defense, it's how efficient the attacks on both sides are. I have to say that I was really looking forward to that scene, but I didn't have a chance to see it. It's hard to imagine what other team can limit the Bucks now, except for injuries, and can barely stop the Bucks' offense, and every evolution of them will become a dimensional reduction blow to the opponent. The current alliance has entered the exclusive era of the alphabet brother.
