I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and remember to watch the Christmas War~~~

Although the news that Fang Chen became the acting head coach of the Cavaliers has been announced by the Cavaliers' official website, since he has not officially become the team's head coach, and the Cavaliers' top management does not want to be in such an unpleasant situation with the team to promote the news, so the Cavaliers did not hold a press conference.
If Fang Chen really pulls the Cavaliers out of the quagmire, then they will definitely launch a high-profile promotion for Fang Chen and officially appoint him as the team's head coach.
Of course, the premise is that Fang Chen must withstand the difficult test ahead of him.
And tonight, he must face the first test of becoming the team's acting head coach-the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks are in pretty good shape this season. So far, they have surprisingly won seven games but only lost six.
Now, they are ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference and have great hope of making the playoffs this season again.
Although the Bucks are indeed weaker than the current Cavaliers, fortunately, they are not too strong. In addition, the Cavaliers are at home tonight, so they are not without a chance of winning.
This summer, the Bucks have also made some transactions and signings that are not very big but worthy of attention. Drew Gooden, Corey Maggette and Kenyon Dooling are not very strong but are worthy of attention. Very practical players have been recruited by the Bucks one after another.
And now, the Bucks' book strength looks quite neat. Even if Michael Reid does not return to the game in the next time, they already have the minimum level to compete with the Eastern Conference powers.
??At least, the current seven wins and six losses have made many fans look forward to the Bucks, and the top management of the Bucks is also quite satisfied with the team's current situation.
Fang Chen looked at the Bucks' player information and frowned.
Tonight¡¯s opponent is definitely not easy to beat, and if he fails to win the first game, then Fang Chen¡¯s prestige among everyone will be gone.
Therefore, Fang Chen is determined to win tonight¡¯s game.
"If nothing else happens, the Bucks' starting lineup tonight should be: center Bogut, power forward Ilyasova, small forward Mbah a Moute, shooting guard Salmons, and point guard Jennings. Although this There are not very strong players in it, but almost all of them are at the upper-middle level and are quite difficult to deal with, especially Bogut, Salmons and Jennings." Fang Chen looked down at the information, thinking in his mind Zhong began to analyze how to face a strong enemy tonight.
"Sessions' defense is pretty good, and his speed is also good. I was a little worried about placing him as the starting point guard before, but he should be able to overcome some restrictions on Jennings, so I still believe in him and let him Become the starting point guard tonight! But Jennings is still very threatening, too fast. Almost no one on the team can keep up with his speed. It seems that we must use help defense on him."
With regard to Brandon Jennings, Fang Chen is still more cautious. After all, the opponent's ability is indeed outstanding. In Fang Chen's view, Jennings poses a greater threat to the Cavaliers than Andrew Bogut.
The Cavaliers are not a team that is good at defense. After James left, the Cavaliers' defense was even worse. If Jennings can't be guarded, he will definitely use his sharp breakthroughs to tear apart the team's defense, and the Cavaliers will be very dangerous.
If Fang Chen were the head coach of the Bucks, Scott Skiles, he would definitely focus on Jennings and let him use his strong impact to drive the whole team and make the Cavaliers' defense useless.
"Well, we have to limit Jennings. At the third position, Graham was the team's starter before, so tonight when Ray Allen's ability is added to him, he will be the team's starter. The best choice for the small forward. He will be the team's first point of attack tonight. Let's talk to him later and arrange his tasks tonight. As for the task of defending Mbah a Moute, let's let the No. 2 position be used for the time being. Anthony Parker helps him. Parker's defense should be the strongest point in the Cavaliers' backcourt. Whether they can limit Jennings and Salmons tonight depends on him and Sessions .¡±
Fang Chen wanted to discuss tonight's game with the team's other two assistant coaches, but Chris Janet and Michael Malone would definitely not be willing to give him advice. Fortunately, Fang Chen thought about it by himself. .
After winning the Bucks game tonight, it is estimated that Janet and Malone will also have a slightly different view of themselves.
Chris Janet is different from Michael Malone. The latter is very senior and has a somewhat arrogant personality. Therefore, it is not easy for Fang Chen to get his assistance.matter.
But Chris Janet is different. He is a team-focused coach. It's just that he is indeed very doubtful about Fang Chen's ability and cannot accept his decision to become the team's head coach for the time being.
If Fang Chen can prove himself tonight, then Chris Janet is likely to figure it out and help Fang Chen integrate this team.
After reading the information for a long time, Fang Chen¡¯s eyes became a little sore. He rubbed his eyes and went back to work.
"Although Bogut is very strong, his performance last season was close to the top five centers in the league. However, he has just returned from injury this season and his condition is not very stable. Using Varejao to defend him should be good. Effect."
¡° Fang Chen still trusts Anderson Varejao.
Anderson Varejao is very active on defense and can be said to be one of the most active players in the team and even in the entire league to do dirty work. He moves quickly, so he can always be seen on the weak side to cover up defense, but Anderson Varejao is sometimes too reckless, so he has good innate conditions and needs to be improved on the defensive end.
On the offensive end, Anderson Varejao's style is similar to that of Rodman. It's not that he can't attack, but he doesn't need them to attack.
Their mission is to ensure rebounds and active defense, so people always ignore Anderson Varejao's offensive ability.
Anderson Varejao's mid-range shot is very accurate, but sometimes not very stable. His singles ability under the basket is also good, especially his outstanding secondary offensive ability.
This season, after James left the Cavaliers, Anderson Varejao's data increased a lot, from 8.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last season to 10.3 points and 9.8 rebounds, and even his average blocks per game also increased from 8.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game last season. The season's 0.9 has increased to 1.2.
It can be said that without James, the main statistics of the main players of the Cavaliers have improved a lot.
"In addition to Varejao, Hickson also has to pay attention to Bogut's defense at all times to be on the safe side. When this guy is strong, using him to cover up is even more foolproof."
Fang Chen has already thought of solutions to several important points of the Bucks, so at this moment, he feels a little relaxed.
