The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The news that Wang Xiao reported to the Bucks was soon announced through media reports.

During the offseason, Wang Xiao led the Huaxia men's basketball team to kill all sides in South Korea, which once again proved his coaching ability.

Fans of the Milwaukee Bucks are looking forward to it, and want to know whether the Bucks will rise so far under the leadership of Wang Xiao.

No one doubts Wang Xiao's right to speak in the Bucks, not to mention Wang Xiao's brilliant resume, his status in the team alone is not something anyone can afford.

On the day Wang Xiao arrived in Milwaukee, he was picked up by a special person, and then went straight to Wesley Edens' newly purchased private estate in Milwaukee to have dinner with the team owner.

There was also a picture taken by the paparazzi of Wang Xiao and the Bucks daughter Malorie Edens strolling in the garden and negotiating after the meal.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiao has a very close relationship with the Edens family, and his voice in the Bucks may be higher than that of the general manager.

On October 6, the Bucks officially held a press conference to welcome head coach Wang Xiao and rookie players to officially join, and also announced the team's makeup photos.

The question that was asked the most at the press conference was the goal of the Bucks for the new season.

In the face of this problem, Wang Xiao rarely said anything shocking, but very low-key, clearly stating that the new season will mainly focus on cultivating players' tacit understanding, tapping the potential of rookies, and leading them to grow up.

After all, the Bucks are not the Wizards team. They are inferior in terms of player quality and potential. More importantly, with the progress of the system upgrade, Wang Xiao has lost the source of victory points, so there is no way to guarantee that the Bucks will win. Deer team players can enjoy super high training effect bonuses like Wizards players.

In the national team, Wang Xiao consumed about 3,000 victory points for training, leaving only 5,000 victory points for the Bucks.

5000 victory points are only rewards for 25 victories, which is almost half less than a normal season.

Now Wang Xiao's mind is filled with one sentence.

Wretched development, don't waste time.

The first condition for the system upgrade is to lead the Bucks to achieve a winning rate of more than 70%, which is a minimum of 58 wins.

The fault tolerance rate that can be provided to him is only 24 games. Once he loses more than 24 games, the task of system upgrade will fail.

The system didn't give the consequences of the failure of the upgrade, but if you think about it with your toes, you know that there will be absolutely no good things.

...

Many people were surprised by Wang Xiao's low-key speech, because it was really fresh.

Wang Xiao has always maintained a strong and confident image in front of the media. He dared to announce his championship declaration in the middle of the season, and he also dared to announce in front of all players in the preseason that he would break the Bulls' record of 72 wins.

Such a person actually kept a low profile during the interview, which couldn't help but arouse the interest of the majority of people who eat melons.

Could it be that even Wang Xiao is not sure to lead the Bucks to win?

This is actually not surprising.

As early as after the draft, many experts commented on the Bucks' lineup and gave negative comments.

First, the players are too young.

Although the Wizards are also very young, at the beginning, the Wizards had two veterans, Jamison and Butler, who had been fighting for many years, and they could impart rich experience to rookies such as Curry.

But there is no such role in the current Bucks.

The oldest player on the team is just 30-year-old Zaza Pachulia, a blue-collar player who has been playing bench roles in the league.

Second, the core potential is worrying.

After the announcement of the makeup photos for the new season, people suddenly discovered that Wang Xiao, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Victor Oladipo, Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic were photographed together Makeup photos.

According to Wang Xiao's habits, this has basically confirmed the core positions of the four in the team.

But the image of these four in the eyes of most people...

Giannis Antetokounmpo, a second-year rookie, averaged less than 10 points and 5 rebounds per game last season, which was the first season of his career, and was only selected to the second team of the best rookie.

In the eyes of scouts, although Antetokounmpo has a terrifying height and wingspan, he is too thin. Ski and other big pitchers.

Antetokounmpo's draft template is just Nicholas Batum.

For such a player, in many people's eyes, being an excellent role player and doing a good job of defense is enough. It is obviously difficult to be an offensive core, and the offensive means are too scarce.

Let's talk about Victor Oladipo.

Oladipo, the No. 2 pick in 2013, performed well with the Magic last season, averaging 13.8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Oladipo's performance is a little better than Antetokounmpo, but if he wants to become a core, his current ability is not enough.

As for Nikola Jokic, this little-known second-round pick was directly skipped.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, only Joel Embiid is the real core.

As a rare high-quality big man in recent years, Embiid has been praised by the media many times. Excellent physical fitness, stable shooting ability, wide vision, and various praises make Embiid look like Olajuwon II look.

However, Embiid was unable to play. Throughout the 14-15 season, the rookie could only sit on the sidelines and watch other people play, so it was basically meaningless.

Among the four players who Wang Xiao took the makeup photos, only three of them can be relied on, and they don't look so reliable.

Although Wang Xiao's vision and ability to train players have been verified countless times over the years.

But at this moment, there are still many people who are not optimistic about the performance of the Bucks in the new season. Many people even think that this may be Wang Xiao's Waterloo, and leaving the Wizards will be the most painful failure in Wang Xiao's coaching career. .

However, the major media and teams probably did not expect that Wang Xiao, who announced the four core players at once, still had a hand in the dark.

Khris Middleton, the 2012 second-round pick who was traded to the Bucks last year, is also a good card in Wang Xiao's hands.

The 2.01-meter-tall second-round pick will usher in an explosion next year, averaging 18 points, 3.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, becoming Antetokounmpo's most powerful assistant.

In 2012, Wang Xiao also considered Middleton when he was in the Wizards, but considering that Leonard and Green were selected consecutively as two forwards in 2012, there was no reason for extra picks, so he chose to give up. Thinking of actually fulfilling myself two years later.
