The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

The victory against the Kings is obviously like a strong and effective booster for the Bucks in a losing streak, which greatly boosts morale.

Although even if they win this game, the Bucks' record is still only 2 wins and 3 losses, with a winning percentage of less than 50%, but the significance of this victory is to build confidence for the young players of the Bucks.

Not to mention other players, at least Oladipo is full of confidence after this battle. Playing on the court is obviously not as timid as in the previous game, and he is much more confident.

Harden is currently the hottest shooting guard in the league. Being able to match up with Harden evenly, even if it is just an occasional game of good luck and good hand feeling, is enough to prove that Oladipo himself is not a parallel importer and has great potential. dug.

After the match against the Kings, the Bucks flew to Detroit, Motor City, to challenge the Pistons away. In this game, the Bucks won again and won two consecutive victories. In the game, Oladipo made 8 of 14 shots and made 4 of 4 free throws. 3 scored the team's highest 19 points and became the team's winning hero again.

At the same time, Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo made 5 of 11 shots, 5 of 7 free throws, scored 16 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists in a quasi-triple double, and his performance was also very good.

People are surprised to find that these young players of the Bucks have performed better every game, as if every game can make them gain and improve.

There is always a feeling of deja vu in such a scene.

It is not difficult for those who are interested to find out that when he was in the Wizards, many of the rookies selected by Wang Xiao also rose rapidly in this way.

This is of course the credit of the training module. These players themselves are all talented players with excellent talents. With the training bonus of the training module, their growth rate has reached an outrageous level.

But apart from Wang Xiao, other people don't know about this. In the eyes of outsiders, there is only one reason for these players' rapid progress, and that is Wang Xiao!

"Genius digger!"

"A unique training head coach!"

"An ace coach with the ability to create miracles!"

As the media once again praised Wang Xiao to the sky, the performance of the Bucks finally began to stabilize.

In the following 12 games in November, the Bucks performed better and better, winning 8 of the 12 games, and the overall record also came to 11 wins and 8 losses.

This is not a record worth bragging about, but 11 wins and 8 losses also make the Bucks rank 6th in the Eastern Conference with a 57% winning percentage. As long as they can continue to maintain, reaching the playoffs is not a problem at all.

You must know that the Bucks were still the bottom team in the league last season, and the team will not introduce any big-name players in the new season. The composition of the team is only a group of first-year and second-year rookies.

Even if such a team is taught by any famous coach in the league, there is no guarantee that they can do better than Wang Xiao.

In the entire November game, the best performer of the Bucks was the shooting guard Victor Oladipo. In 19 games, he averaged 33.1 minutes per game, 13.5 shots and 5.9 goals per game. Contributed 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists.

In addition to the slightly lower shooting percentage, as a second-year rookie, his performance is impeccable.

In addition, the performance of several other players is also remarkable.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the first core appointed by Wang Xiao, is still in the stage of growth and exploration of the style of play, and his performance is not very stable, but he also averaged 13.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, only because Wang Xiao asked The reason why he switched to point forward was that he made more turnovers before he fully adapted, averaging 3.1 turnovers per game.

In addition, another forward in the team, Khris Middleton, who was selected in the second round of 2012, also made Bucks fans shine.

Last season, he played all 82 games, and Middleton, who started 64 games, performed so-so. He averaged 12 points and 3.8 rebounds in 30 minutes per game. Excellent.

But this season, after Wang Xiao came, Middleton's data immediately rose linearly.

So far, after 19 games, Middleton averaged 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 46.7% from the field and 39.6% from the three-point range, making him the team's leading scorer.

This is something no one would have imagined before the start of the season. This very inconspicuous guy in the Bucks can actually become the one with the highest scoring efficiency!

But Middleton wasn't the most shocking Bucks player.

There is another existence in the Bucks that makes everyone dumbfounded.

Nikola Jokic.

When Wang Xiao selected Jokic in the draft, everyone said they couldn't understand it at all.

Obviously, Embiid was selected with the second overall pick in the first round, why should he choose a European center in the second round?

The inside position of the Bucks is not tight. Even if Embiid is reimbursed for the season, there are also big men such as Zaza Pachulia, John Hansen and Larry Sanders.

This choice seems completely superfluous.

However, no one expected that in the new season, Jokic would become the Bucks' starting center, while the playing time of those centers who had a lot of playing time inside the Bucks last season has shrunk significantly.

The result of this is that although the first few games were a little uncomfortable, Jokic immediately adjusted his state and showed an amazing level.

After 19 games, Jokic averaged 11.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

This data may seem mediocre, but you must know that Anthony Davis, the No. 1 pick in 2012, only had 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in his rookie season. Points and 10 rebounds, while DeMarcus Cousins, who is currently recognized by the league as having the potential to become an All-Star center, averaged 14.1 points and 8.6 rebounds in his rookie season.

It is very difficult for big players to play outstanding data in their rookie season, because it is often difficult for big players to get in touch with the ball, and it takes a long time to hone in the NBA's muscular interior to attack. muscle training.

Jokic was only a second-round pick, but he was able to produce 11.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Apart from being amazed, people can only admire Wang Xiao's sharp eyes again.

Although the fighting power shown now does not mean that the future achievements will be limitless, but at least using a second-round pick to select such an all-around center with immediate fighting power, Wang Xiao is sure to make money.

Under the outstanding performance of these four core players appointed by Wang Xiao, no one doubts that the Bucks' record may decline next.
