Westbrook, Sun Yue and Nick Young also participated in this pre-war mobilization meeting. Although the three are now sent to the Milwaukee Bucks, their training is with their home team...

After Li Tuanjie gave an impassioned speech, Stotts announced the Bucks' 15-man roster for the new season at the meeting.

Li Tuanjie, Marc Gasol, Artest, Mike Redd, Kyle Lowry, Dragic, Yi Jianlian, Mbah a Moute, DeAndre Jordan, Nikola, Kevin Love, Ibaka, Mirza Pu, Grant Hill and the last Lee Mitsui!

To be honest, it is quite unexpected that Li Sanjing entered the fifteen-man roster...

In daily training, even a fool can see that Li Mitsui definitely does not have the ability to compete in the NBA. To put it harshly, Li Mitsui is not even qualified to play in the Development League, let alone the NBA...

Originally, the players thought that Li Tuanjun wanted to find a job for his relatives, a guaranteed contract with the Bucks, and then be transferred to the Development League. Anyway, he would make a lot of money...

But in the end, Li Tuanjie did not do this. Instead, he put Li Sanjing on the fifteen-man roster!

Stotts couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Why did he need to think about it so much? It's enough to follow Li Tuanjie directly and firmly!

This offseason, with the help of Li Tuanjie, Stotts also got a three-year contract with an annual salary of US$4.5 million, which made Stotts smile from ear to ear!

With Ballmer, Li Tuanjie only said one sentence: "Stotts has been the best head coach in the NBA twice and an Olympic gold medal coach. His current salary is too little..."

Without saying a word, Ballmer directly raised Stotts' salary to $4.5 million!

Ballmer himself actually prepared an annual coaching salary of 5 million, and planned to let Li Tuanjie choose his favorite head coach. Now that Li Tuanjie does not want to change coaches, he simply paid the salary directly to Stotts, and also paid the salary to Stotts. Save half a million dollars.

…

The players who have entered the Bucks' fifteen-man roster are gearing up and preparing to compete in the new season, while those who have not entered the roster are secretly encouraging themselves!

…

The Bucks' fifteen-man roster was released. When outside reporters learned about it, they were shocked!

Compared with the Bucks' championship lineup last season, such a list has changed too much.

Rondo in the starting lineup has left, and a lot of players in the bench have also left, including Gortat and Thaddeus Young, and Sun Yue and Nick Young from last season's championship lineup were let go!

The Bucks directly activated a large number of new players, leaving reporters a little confused!

The championship lineup will not be easily dismantled. This is a truth that everyone knows!

Usually when a championship lineup is dismantled, it's either because of salary issues or because of infighting in the club's locker room!

But now the Bucks have no salary problem, and there is no news of internal strife. No one knows what madness the Bucks management has gone to send away so many people from the championship-winning lineup...

The Bucks management expressed that they were very wronged. It was not them who went crazy, but Li Tuanjie!

…

On October 5th, the Bucks’ home arena, Bradley Center, ushered in a rather special game!

The Milwaukee Bucks play at home against the Jiangsu Nangang Team from the Eastern country of China!

Although the opponent in this game is really not very strong, it is the first game of the new season after all, and there are still many fans who come to watch the game.

…

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and the Bucks' starting players began to play!

Seeing the starting lineup of the Bucks, the fans at the scene couldn't help but lose interest...

Although the ticket price for the preseason game is only half of that for the main game, it is actually a lot of money. These fans just want to come and see Li Tuanjie on the court...

But what disappointed the fans was that Li Tuanjie was sitting on the sidelines in a beige suit during this game, and he obviously had no intention of appearing on the court.

The Bucks' starting lineup: Center: DeAndre Jordan, Power Forward: Kevin Love, Small Forward Grant Hill, Shooting Guard Mbah a Moute, Point Guard Dragic...

Except for Grant Hill, an old face of the Bucks, the Bucks' starting lineup is all new and innovative...

After spending a lot of money on tickets to watch a bunch of new guys play, many people think it's not worth it...

…

Li Tuanjie sat upright on the sidelines, watching the game start. Behind him was Ballmer, the new owner of the Bucks, and the two chatted.

"Li Tuanjie, is there anything you would like to improve on the current team's lineup?" Ballmer wasn't very concerned about the situation on the field. It was just a friendly match, so it didn't mean much.

Li Tuanjie shook his head. He was very satisfied with the current lineup. Of course, there was also a problem, that is, the small forward position was not very strong...

Artest has no offensive firepower, Grant Hill is too old...

"If we really need to strengthen, we can strengthen at the small forward position. This is the weakest point in our current lineup!" Li Tuanjie said sideways to Ballmer.

"The small forward position? I thought you were talking about the shooting guard position..." Ballmer frowned in confusion.

Although the small forward position is not very strong, in Ballmer's opinion, the shooting guard position is the area where the Bucks need reinforcements most...

Mike Reed is not young, and his defense is a bit weak, so he can easily be used as a breakthrough point by the opponent. Sun Yue is currently sent to the Development League, and the newcomer Li Sanjing...

Ballmer also thought that Li Tuanxi wanted to find a job for his relative, so he selected Li Sanjing in the draft...

"No, no, no, Ballmer, the shooting guard position will definitely not be our weakness. In my opinion, the shooting guard position will definitely be our golden signature of the Bucks in the future, and the luxury will definitely be no less than that of our power forward. Location!" Li Tuanjie said with a smile.

"Huh? No, you mean that Reed has further development? Or that Sun Yue has huge potential?"

"It's not these two people! It's Li Sanjing!" Li Tuanjie said solemnly.

Ballmer almost fainted without catching his breath...

Where did the confidence come from? No matter how Ballmer looked at Li Mitsui, he didn't look like the kind of player who could become a golden signature!

Taking another look at Li Mitsui sitting in the corner of the bench, Ballmer was speechless...

He has a thin figure, and his height is not outstanding, not to mention his strength. Ballmer feels that as a middle-aged and old man, he is stronger than Li Mitsui...

Will such a player become a golden signature? ! Even Ballmer wouldn’t believe it!

Li Tuanjie naturally knew that Ballmer didn't believe it, so he just smiled. Facts speak louder than words. When Li Sanjing actually comes out, they will have to believe it even if they don't believe it!

…

The fans on the sidelines suddenly burst into cheers. It turned out that it was Bucks rookie point guard Dragic who passed the ball in seconds to assist Jordan in the basket, completing an exquisite super dunk!

Although the Bucks did not come up with any decent lineup, the Jiangsu Nangang team is still no match...

On the inside, Tang Zhengdong is at a huge disadvantage against DeAndre Jordan, who has a body like a monster. DeAndre Jordan can easily crush Tang Zhengdong.

In addition, the Bucks' newcomer Dragic has outstanding organizational skills and often feeds Jordan. Jordan is playing well on the court and is extremely outstanding.

In sharp contrast to DeAndre Jordan is the Bucks' fifth overall pick Love...

Love doesn't seem to have found his correct position yet. He bumps around like a headless fly on the court. His efficiency can only be regarded as average, and his offensive integration is not very good.

In this case, Grant Hill stood up and actively taught Love how to position, move and get stuck in the game. The situation on Love's side became a little better.

Li Tuanjie off the court was all smiles. The role of Hill, a living fossil-level veteran, was clearly demonstrated. He was allowed to bring four new players on the field. It was for this purpose, to use his experience to guide the newcomers.

Because the opponent was too weak, Jordan played for ten minutes in the first quarter and scored an astonishing 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks, allowing Chinese fans to truly see clearly the difference between domestic power centers and NBA traditional power centers. difference……

Dragic's performance was pretty good, with 5 points and 5 assists!

As for Kevin Love, his performance can only be considered average. With 2 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, his presence is not too strong.

The veteran Hill basically did not occupy the right to take shots on the court. The value of his existence in this kind of game is to guide the newcomers without making any mistakes.

On the contrary, newcomer Mbah a Moute's performance is very outstanding, and his overall performance is not weaker than Jordan!

With the data of 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, Li Tuanjie nodded repeatedly!

Since the last signing turmoil, Mbah a Moute has become much more honest. He knows that his destiny is being controlled by Li Tuan, and he cannot be dishonest.

With Westbrook, Sun Yue and Nick Young being delegated to the Development League, Mbah a Moute is even more on thin ice. Westbrook is the fourth pick, Sun Yue and Nick Young are players who have won the championship. These three have been delegated. Li If United wants to decentralize Mbah a Moute, don’t make it too simple!

So Mbah a Moute worked hard to express himself on the court. He was afraid that if he didn't perform well, he would end up like Westbrook and others!

The Bucks led by nine points with a score of 30:21 in the first quarter. This point difference was acceptable to the Nangang team. Of course, they knew that if the Bucks fielded a pure main lineup, the point difference would have to be at least doubled. double!

During the break, Li Tuanjie stood up to greet the players coming off the field. Their performance in the first quarter made Li Tuanjie very satisfied. Except for Love, the remaining three newcomers all showed their own characteristics.

Love didn't perform well, and Li Tuanjie didn't take it to heart. Anyway, he had no intention of trading Love, so he was cultivating him first.

In the second quarter of the game, Nikola Pekovic came on as the center, and Yi Jianlian was at the power forward. Mbah a Moute continued to play, but at the small forward position, and the two in the backcourt were Lowry. and Dragic both.

Among them, Nikola Pekovic and Mbah a Moute are Li Tuanjie's next trading chips. Naturally, they will be given a lot of playing time and strive to let them produce excellent data!

Pekovic is very good. When he was selected by the Timberwolves, he once averaged close to 20+10 per game. If it were not for injuries and other factors, the future of this white center would be extremely bright. bright!

After the start of the second quarter, the Bucks still maintained a huge advantage. Pekovic didn't even need to be fed by the point guard in the paint. He could eat Tang Zhengdong alive just by relying on his exquisite footsteps under the basket!

Seeing that the Bucks' newcomers performed very well, the fans watching the game finally got some psychological comfort. It would have been nothing if they didn't see Li Tuanjie on the stage. It was worth it to see the outstanding performance of these newcomers. fare.

…

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Bucks won the game with a score of 121:97. Both sides were happy. The Jiangsu team's loss was not ugly, and the Bucks' team also served as a training ground. Effect!
