The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Chapter 383 Ending the losing streak

The current lineup of the Bucks has a lot of problems. This is unavoidable. If every team can properly strengthen its own team and achieve perfection, then every team will become the favorite to win the championship. up.

The Kings are obviously not the favorites to win the championship, so this team also has obvious flaws.

The current starting lineup of the Kings are point guard: Darren Collison, shooting guard: James Harden, small forward: Derek Williams, power forward: Jason Thompson, center: DeMarcus. Cousins.

Except for Harden and Cousins, everyone else is just some ordinary role players. While their offensive ability is poor, their defense is not strong.

Last season, the Kings were able to rank fifth in the Western Conference, almost entirely due to Harden who grew up early.

The Kings' tactics are also very simple. Harden's singles with the ball and the pick-and-roll pass between Harden and Cousins ​​​​cooperate after everyone is opened.

How should I put it, there is a bit of the Rockets' magic ball style of play in the future, but it doesn't have the Rockets' magic three-pointer firepower and bench depth.

This situation became more and more obvious after the start of the second quarter.

When Harden left the court, the Kings obviously seemed to be a little bit less good at playing. On the Bucks side, Antetokounmpo, who had been playing soy sauce in the first quarter, finally started to touch the ball.

If it is only about the lethality of the breakthrough, Antetokounmpo is much stronger than Oladipo.

Comparing the two, Oladipo may be a Maserati supercar, while Antetokounmpo is a professional F1 car.

Almost easily, Antetokounmpo tore the defense line organized by the Kings to pieces.

The score, which was originally evenly matched, began to widen the gap in an instant. In just two minutes, Antetokounmpo broke into the inside line three times in a row and successfully established a score advantage of more than 10 points.

The head coach of the Kings was taken aback, called a timeout quickly, and looked at Antetokounmpo in surprise.

He had watched Antetokounmpo's game video before. This young man's height and wingspan are very exaggerated, like a Greek version of Durant, but in fact he is not good at what Durant is proficient in. Medium and long-range shooting, the technique is very rough.

You can see the talent of this child, but it is hard to say when the talent will be realized into strength.

But now what Antetokounmpo has shown on the field is already quite dangerous!

"Giannis, good job."

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Wang Xiao looked at Brother Antetokounmpo who came down from the field due to a timeout and said.

In terms of the level of hard training, Antetokounmpo may not be as good as Oladipo, but he is by no means the type who does not train seriously or is lazy. The training tasks assigned to him by Wang Xiao can be completed perfectly every time.

In terms of talent, the entire Bucks may only have Embiid, who can't play, who can barely stand shoulder to shoulder with Antetokounmpo.

With the addition of the training module, Antetokounmpo's daily progress is quite terrifying!

Wang Xiao reckons that by the middle of the season, other teams in the league will also be able to experience how terrifying it would be for a Greek monster with a height of 2.11 meters to hit the basket like James.

Relying on the wave of offensive brought by Antetokounmpo, the Bucks maintained their lead until the intermission, even after Harden came on the court, they failed to equalize or overtake.

In the third quarter of the game, the two sides seemed to be back to the mode of two guards blasting each other. This time, it was obvious that Harden first hit the basket and scored 2+1, and then used his teammates' pick-and-roll three-point shots from the outside line. Scoring 6 points quickly narrowed the point difference.

But Oladipo is also not to be outdone. Oladipo, who broke through the inside in turn, failed to score a goal, but made two consecutive inside fouls for the Kings. He made 4 of 4 free throws and scored 4 points.

Although he was slightly inferior to Harden in scoring, Oladipo's two fouls were all on Cousins. Cousins, who had 4 fouls, had to leave the court to avoid the edge.

But in this way, the Kings only have Harden as a stable scoring point, and in the absence of Cousins' inner pinning effect, the Kings' already poor defense has become more loopholes.

In another world, Cousins ​​was never selected to the All-Defensive Team until he had no ball to play, and because of his impulsive and irritable temper, he has never been considered a defensive interior player.

But at the current stage of the Kings, this center with a strong offense and a weak defense is also the pillar of the Kings' weak defense inside.

Now that the pillars have collapsed, it means that the Kings have collapsed across the board.

In the third quarter, Harden scored 16 points in a single quarter, but the Kings lost to the Bucks by 8 points in a single quarter.

Originally, there was a 10-point difference at halftime, but now the point difference has not narrowed, but is about to expand to more than 20 points!

In the final quarter, the Kings tried to chase points under the leadership of Harden but failed.

When Harden missed three consecutive outside shots, the Kings began to replace the main lineup one after another, giving up early.

...

In the end, the Bucks won the game 102:85, ending their three-game losing streak.

The highest scorer in the entire game was James Harden, the core of the Kings. He made 26 shots and hit 14 goals in the game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53.8%. A quasi-triple-double of points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.

Although he lost the game, Harden did not lose. Such a luxurious data made the media marvel again. Harden is indeed a rising star among shooting guards, and he is taking a step forward to charge and challenge his predecessors. .

On the other hand, Oladipo of the Bucks is the biggest winner of this game.

In 36 minutes of playing, Oladipo, who was facing Harden almost all the way, hit 11 goals in 20 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored the second highest 31 points in the game!

Such a wonderful and efficient performance surprised the entire league.

Oladipo actually has such an ability?

And at the next moment, a lot of eyes couldn't help but focus on Wang Xiao.

It might be unbelievable to put this kind of thing on someone else, but it doesn't seem to be a big deal to this guy Wang Xiao.

What is Wang Xiao best at? Midas touch!

But almost all the players he values ​​are outstanding.

This can also be seen from Harden's current performance against Oladipo.

When he was in the Wizards, Wang Xiao held the No. 1 lottery in his hand, but Wang Xiao was not interested in Blake Griffin, who was the No. 1 pick at the time. He directly used the No. Got the No. 1 pick and Jordan Jr.

The results proved that Wang Xiao's choice was the best solution. Jordan has now become one of the best inside defenders in the league, and Harden has a tendency to become the league's number one shooting guard.

What people are most interested in now is not whether Oladipo's outbreak is a long-term accumulation or a flash in the pan, but whether the core players appointed by Wang Xiao before the season have Oladipo's level!
