The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

With 1 minute left in the game, the score between the two sides was 99:98. The Eagles led by 1 point away, while the Bucks had the ball.

Wang Xiao called a timeout to bring the players together.

Compared with Budenholzer, Wang Xiao has no pressure. As the first season to lead the new team, he can lead the team to the playoffs, which is considered a success. Regardless of the final record in the playoffs, for the Bucks It is a valuable experience for the team.

Of course, it would be even better if they can win the first round of the playoffs and enter the second round.

"The next ball, around Giannis, let's play number seven."

Wang Xiao looked at the players in front of him and said, "Everyone should pay attention to their positions and be ready to catch and shoot at any time. The next shot will basically determine the final victory of the game!"

Hearing that the coach said to play No. 7 tactics, Oladipo's eyes darkened slightly.

Tactic No. 7 is a set of tactics specifically designed by Wang Xiao around Antetokounmpo. In this set of tactics, everyone must make tactical moves for Antetokounmpo and create opportunities for him to play singles with the ball. .

But Antetokounmpo was a little nervous when he heard the words.

"Coach, can I do it? They obviously have tighter defenses against me. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give players in other positions a better try?"

"Giannis." Wang Xiao looked at Antetokounmpo and said seriously: "I need you to learn the ability to score under tight defense. People like Jordan and Kobe don't know how to score when facing tight defense. Passing the ball to teammates is the first option, and the first thing they think about is how to use their personal ability to break through these tight defenses! Do you know what I mean?"

As soon as Wang Xiao said this, the players in a circle couldn't help looking at Antetokounmpo.

Previously, although Wang Xiao always revealed some different attitudes towards Antetokounmpo, it was not particularly obvious overall.

But when he said something like this today, he basically confirmed Antetokounmpo's position as the basic core of the Bucks... Wang Xiao wants Antetokounmpo to be the Jordan of the Bucks!

This season, Antetokounmpo's average number of shots per game in the Bucks can only rank third in the team, and the ball is basically shared with Oladipo.

No one thinks that Antetokounmpo is special, even if his talent is indeed amazing, but he is still the same as other starting players, young, full of vitality, and unlimited potential.

But starting today, everything will be different.

No matter what the result of the last minute of the game is, Antetokounmpo will appear as the first core of the Bucks and the boss of the team in future games, unless Wang Xiao no longer coaches the Bucks.

As long as you simply think about Curry of the Wizards, you should understand the meaning of Wang Xiao's words!

"Coach, I..."

Antetokounmpo looked around, a little at a loss.

"Don't think too much, if you have the time, I suggest you better think about how to play on the court for a while."

Wang Xiao smiled slightly.

One advantage of being young is that you are not afraid of making mistakes and have opportunities to fail and learn.

He is not worried that Antetokounmpo will perform abnormally in the next game and cause the team to lose, even if he really loses, so what? This season was originally for Wang Xiao to train soldiers. If Antetokounmpo can grow, then even if he loses the entire series, it will be worth it.

...

The short timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field.

Jokic served at halfcourt and passed the ball to Antetokounmpo.

"coming soon!"

When Budenholzer saw this, his heart tightened, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of arranging tactics for the players just now.

"Guys, this victory is only one step away from us! We must resolutely implement the plan set for the whole game, strengthen the oppression of other players, force the opponent to pass the ball to Oladipo, and then defend the Oladipo. Ladipo's attack!"

So far in this game, Oladipo has scored 28 points and is the player with the highest score in the game. However, he only hit 10 goals in 27 shots, and his shooting percentage was only 37%. He only scored 28 points with free throws. Extremely low.

The success rate of defending him is obviously higher than that of defending others.

At this time, seeing Antetokounmpo receiving the ball, Millsap immediately went up to meet him, not giving him any room to sprint. At the same time, another player also faintly approached Antetokounmpo. If Antetokounmpo was going to break through forcibly, he would immediately Step forward to help defend.

If it is normal, faced with such a situation, Antetokounmpo may choose to pretend to break through, attract attention and then pass the ball to other teammates.

But today, after hearing Wang Xiao's words, he is not going to pass the ball anymore.

He wants to be Jordan!

Lowering his body and slowly dribbling, Antetokounmpo keeps his eyes on Millsap.

For no reason, Millsap's heart jumped suddenly. Although he didn't know why, he had a strong premonition... The rookie in front of him was about to break through, and he wanted to get past himself!

For a moment, Millsap was completely focused, staring at Antetokounmpo without blinking.

The next moment, Antetokounmpo moved.

"So fast!"

Millsap's pupils shrank slightly.

Even though he has faced Antetokounmpo more than once, when he started to act, Millsap was still a little absent-minded.

This guy seems to be faster than before! No... Or maybe he chose a better time to break through!

Millsap had no time to react, and Antetokounmpo flashed past him, passing most of his body in an instant!

The height advantage of 2.11 meters was brought to the extreme at this time!

"Stop him!"

On the sidelines, Budenholzer couldn't help shouting, sweat condensed on his forehead.

Without hesitation, the player who was approaching this side immediately greeted him.

But the next moment he watched in astonishment that Antetokounmpo had arrived in front of him.

The bodies of the two collided together in an instant, and they lost their balance and fell to the ground almost at the same time.

"Squeak——!"

The whistle sounded immediately, and Antetokounmpo also subconsciously threw the basketball into the sky at the moment he lost his balance.

The basketball crossed a long arc in the sky, and then stumbled into the hoop under everyone's gaze.

"The score is valid! Add a free throw!"

"Wow!"

In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Because Antetokounmpo's speed is too fast, the defensive players who are caught off guard have no time to stand still and block the foul!

"It's over..."

Budenholzer's mind went blank.

On the court, the coach's tactical arrangement can only play a supporting role at most. How the game goes depends on the performance and state of the players, and some great players can change their lives against the sky.

As a former Spurs assistant coach, he has seen such a scene more than once.

What makes him most unforgettable is that the guy in the red No. 1 uniform scored 13 points in 35 seconds under the almost crazy defense of the Spurs, giving the Spurs a desperate defeat.

That is the guy who can find a way to score even if you can't completely guard against it even if you try your best!

Antetokounmpo is still far from this kind of star advancement, but just now, he did successfully break through under the Eagles' targeted defensive tactics and scored a key score!

The situation has been completely reversed!
