The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Even though they were used to Wang Xiao's rhetoric, the reporters were still shocked by Wang Xiao's declaration of the three consecutive championships.

And Durant next to Wang Xiao couldn't help opening his mouth.

At least a three-peat dynasty start?

Do you know how many dynasty teams there are in the entire NBA history?

Only the Lakers, Celtics, Bulls and Wizards have done it!

Only four teams!

Even if one of these teams was brought out by Wang Xiao himself, it's still a bit crazy to talk like this!

But Wang Xiao knew that this was not outrageous words.

The Bucks' current lineup is not inferior to the peak Wizards except for the bench, and without Curry's defensive shortcomings, it has become even more impeccable!

And with the new TV broadcast contract taking effect, the Bucks will not repeat the mistakes of the Wizards, limited to salary space and have to watch a large number of talent drain.

The 2018-19 season will be the contract year between Embiid and Jokic. In Wang Xiao’s memory, the salary cap of the NBA this year reached 101.8 million US dollars, and the luxury tax threshold reached a terrifying 123.7 million. !

By 2018, Durant's salary is about 31 million, Thompson's is about 20 million, Antetokounmpo is almost 24 million, the three add up to 75 million, and there is still a full 48.7 million away from triggering the luxury tax! There's nothing wrong with re-signing Embiid and Jokic at the same time.

Of course, in the last few years of these players' contracts, the Bucks' salary cap may explode, but at that time, I'm afraid the Bucks have already won several championships. If the team owner can't bear the high luxury tax, It's not out of the question to trade one or two players away.

Taking a step back, the system may have already been updated and upgraded by then. With the system, Wang Xiao can continue to keep the team extremely competitive!

...

During this press conference, the reporters had gained a lot, and they went back to write exciting news contentedly.

After Durant reported to the Bucks, he did not play in the first game because the medical report did not come out, so he could only watch the game with the team.

On February 19, the Bucks played away against the Charlotte Hornets. In the absence of Oladipo and Middleton, and the newcomer Durant was unable to play, relying on Antetokounmpo Adetto With the outstanding performance of Kumbo, Thompson and Jokic, the Bucks still won the game with a score of 103:88.

Bucks fans were surprised to find Giannis stronger without Oladipo sharing the ball with Middleton.

Wang Xiao directly arranged Antetokounmpo as the team's starting point guard, let Korver start at the small forward position, and the power forward arranged for the blue-collar insider John Hansen to start.

In this way, the outside ball is basically concentrated on Antetokounmpo alone.

The main point guard of the Hornets, Kemba Walker, was in a daze.

Who am I and where am I? Why did I have to suffer a beating that I shouldn't have at my age?

Walker, who is only 1.83 meters tall, is nothing against Antetokounmpo, who is 2.11 meters tall. Both Thompson and Korver are over 2 meters tall. He is still misplaced when he switches defenses, and the opponent can easily play against him. Score on the head.

Antetokounmpo scored a game-high 36 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, Thompson also scored 29 points, and Jokic also scored 24 points.

Without Oladipo and Middleton, the number of shots taken by the three has increased significantly. The fans were surprised to find that it seems that the Bucks are still very strong with only these three.

And when Durant is added to the three, it becomes even more terrifying!

On February 20, the Bucks played against the Eagles at home. Durant wore the Bucks' No. 35 jersey for the first time. The game lost suspense only after the first half.

Durant's desire to perform was extremely strong. In the first half alone, he took 17 shots, hit 12 goals and scored 29 points!

At the end of halftime, the score between the Bucks and the Eagles was 67:42, with a difference of 25 points!

At the end of the final game, the score of the two teams was fixed at 117:92. In the fourth quarter, both teams played as substitute players, and Durant scored 34 points and 6 rebounds in only 29 minutes in three quarters. The data of assists officially announced the beginning of his era in the Bucks with a perfect debut!

...

After getting Durant, Wang Xiao immediately adjusted the team's tactical system and lineup.

For the two big men on the front line, Antetokounmpo was placed at the shooting guard position, while Durant was temporarily adjusted from the familiar small forward position to the power forward position.

This arrangement, on the one hand, can completely liberate Antetokounmpo, allowing him to give full play to his ability to attack with the ball on the outside. On the other hand, it can also allow Durant and Jokic to better link up.

As the top scorer in the league, Durant has a range beyond the three-point line, but he uses the most and is best at mid-range shots.

Durant's mid-range can be regarded as the most stable and accurate in the league, and his height and wingspan are few among small forwards.

When Durant and Jokic partner inside, the two can easily form a cooperation, pulling space to form an open or misplaced attack.

In addition, this lineup has an extremely terrifying height.

Durant's registered height is 2.08 meters, and his actual height exceeds 2.10 meters. Antetokounmpo is 2.11 meters tall, Jokic is 2.13 meters tall, and Thompson and Korver are both 2.01 meters tall.

As a result, the average height of the Bucks' starting lineup has reached a terrifying 2.07 meters! This is a height that even the starting center of some NBA teams can't reach!

When he was in the Wizards, Wang Xiao played the routine of the dead five. The tallest player on the court was Jamison at 2.06 meters. Later, after Jamison retired, Drummond at 2.01 meters took his place. Deglin, using the unrivaled speed of the small man to wear down most teams in the league.

But now, Wang Xiao has turned around and played the Big Five of Death, using five tall and long-armed big men to deal with the league's increasingly popular small ball tactics.

However, Wang Xiao's messing around is something other teams can't learn from. After all, like Antetokounmpo and Durant, who are over 2.10 meters tall and not inferior to guards in speed, they are not afraid of running and bombing tactics and can even play bombarding tactics. tall, they couldn't even find one!

A legendary head coach who has personal grievances with Wang Xiao once said that the future development of basketball games may evolve into a game of five big men around 2.05 meters in height. Their positions on the court will become blurred. Inside and outside, there will be no obvious shortcomings, and it can adapt to any game situation.

Although he had a grudge against that man, Wang Xiao still admired his vision. The current league is developing in the direction he predicted. Excellent guards are getting taller, while excellent centers are getting shorter and shorter.
