The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

After Brandon Knight and O.J. Mayo were traded off the team, the Bucks made some adjustments.

Oladipo took over from the shooting guard position to the point guard, and Korver served as the team's starting shooting guard.

Oladipo used to play as a point guard when he was in college. Although he has been a shooting guard since entering the NBA, the guest point guard is more than enough, not to mention the Bucks are not very good at the point guard position. rely.

Even when Knight is still there, the ball is more concentrated in the hands of Oladipo and Adetokounmpo.

Now that Knight has left the team, the ball rights that belonged to him are distributed to the hands of the two, but instead they are more handy.

Korver is a kind of traditional shooter. Normally, when basketball is in his hands, he has only two options, direct shots and reverse hands to pass to others. In terms of possession, he does not have any conflicts with Oladipo and Alphabet Brother. , Or even their favorite type, after all, catching the ball means that once the basketball shot will add an assist to their stats.

The two who got more ball rights then played well in the game after the trade deadline.

On February 20, the Bucks played against the Denver Nuggets at home. The letter brother Adto Kunbo was unstoppable. He shot 9 of 20 shots, made 10 of 12 free throws, got 28 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists. 17 rebounds refreshed him. The highest rebound record in a single career, and 7 of these 17 rebounds in the offensive rebounds, also set his career record.

Under the unstoppable offensive of Brother Alphabet, the Nuggets surrendered their guns in just three quarters and replaced the main lineup.

Then, in the away game against the Hawks on February 22, Oladipo made 13 of 21 shots, 4 of 5 free throws and scored 30 points, leading the team to win the game.

In this game, Knight and Mayo also played, but the performance was quite satisfactory. Both of them came off the bench. They also have limited playing time in the Hawks' relatively complete lineup. One gets 8 people and the other all. Only 3 points are credited.

The Hawks traded in two. On the one hand, they looked at the potential of two young players. On the other hand, they also had the idea of ​​using them to trade better chips after the summer contract renewal.

After all, although the two play well, they add up to 11 points, which is similar to Korver’s efficiency in the Hawks. Korver’s own tactical position in the Hawks is not particularly important. It is completely unimportant compared to the transaction value it has.

...

Korver, who came to the Bucks, felt more comfortable playing the Bucks than the Eagles.

The Hawks are a team that focuses on position warfare and defense. Head coach Mike Budenholzer, as a disciple of Popovich, understands the position defense.

But position defense means steady and steady play. While you are steady, your opponent is also stable. There are not many opportunities for fast breaks and more.

Although the Eagles’ point guard is Jeff Teague, who is good at breaking through, but Korver, who is basically at the bottom of the three-point corner, can get a lot of mobile phone meetings, only in running tactics. Only then will you get a shot. Love story.lianlianxs.

auzw.com But the situation is different for the Bucks.

The Bucks' style of play is somewhat similar to the Wizards' small ball tactics. Although the overall average height almost crushes the Wizards, but the offense and defense conversion speed on the field does not lose the Wizards much.

This also makes a fast attack and defense conversion opportunity often appear on the field, and whenever this time, Oladipo or the letter brother hit the basket with the ball, the opponent will have to arrange more people to station the basket, outside Korver easily obtained the opportunity to open a space, can easily shoot.

In the two games that came to the Bucks, Korver averaged more than 10 three-point attempts per game and averaged 4 goals. Although the shooting rate is only 40%, he is more than he was before the Bucks this season. The Eagles' 49.2% three-point percentage is much lower.

However, it is normal to increase the number of shots and reduce the shooting rate. An average of 4 three-pointers per game allows Korver to score more than 15 points in these two games, making the Bucks a stable scoring point.

Korver's performance and the excellent performance of Oladipo and the alphabet brothers also let the Bucks fans completely uneasy after the two members of the team were traded away.

Now that the team has become stronger after the trade, what else is there to say?

For Knight, the Bucks fans have always been very whispered. As a hope that the Bucks fans saw the rise of the team, Knight who joined the league in 11 years has disappointed the fans for three seasons. It’s okay to go. Anyway, they have Wang Xiao, so they are not afraid of the team’s lack of excellent players.

...

In the remaining four games at the end of February, the Bucks scored another 3 wins and 1 loss, with a total record of 36 wins and 23 losses. They successfully surpassed the Eagles in the record and formally entered the first half of the division. The entire eastern record is better than the Bucks. Even better are the Wizards, the Cavaliers and the Nets.

After the game in February, there were only 23 games left in the regular season, including 15 games in March and 8 games in April. According to the record of the Boston Celtics, currently ranked eighth in the east, theoretically, as long as the male The Deer can win 10 of these 23 games and be 100% sure of advancing to the playoffs.

In fact, as long as the Bucks win 5 more games, it is basically impossible to miss the playoffs.

Wang Xiao's promise before the start of the new season has been fulfilled in advance, and how good the Bucks can do is something that everyone is curious about.

In 15 games in March, the Bucks finally achieved a record of 7 wins and 8 losses, with a win rate of only 46.66%, which is completely within the acceptable range of Wang Xiao.

After all, in March, all teams must go all out for the playoffs and rankings, even if the team is weaker than the Bucks, it is very difficult to deal with, such as the Heat, Knicks, Celtics, etc. To fight for the eighth place in the east, and the Spurs, Grizzlies, these Western teams also compete because of their close record, competing for a higher ranking to gain home advantage.

In such a fierce competition, the Bucks can still win 7 games, which has made Wang Xiao more satisfied. After all, the Bucks players are just a group of inexperienced rookies.

The Bucks' last seven games in April were against the Bulls, Magic, Cavaliers, Nets, 76ers, Celtics and Pacers.

The Bucks won 4 games with the Bulls, Magic, 76ers and Pacers, lost 3 games with the Cavaliers, Nets and Celtics, and finally fixed the record to 48 wins and 34 losses. .
