Chapter 464
Embiid is not an inside player in the traditional sense, and he is very different from Hao Peng, who uses David Robinson's growth template card.
His template for the draft was Olajuwon, and he was characterized by his nimble footwork, all-round skills, and he also had a move that Big Dream didn't have, the three-point shot.
As of Wang Xiao's crossing, Embiid averaged about 32% three-point shooting per game in the NBA, and averaged more than 200 shots per season.
And in the current Bucks, such a big man with a technical style is simply like a fish in water.
Originally, Durant, a big man who can shoot suddenly, is enough of a headache, but now there is an extra Embiid, even the Wizards are powerless for a while.
In the first quarter, they tried to shrink the interior and put Embiid on the perimeter, but they paid a terrible price, Embiid made 2 of 3 three-pointers and also made a mid-range shot.
In the first quarter, the Bucks scored 36 points, while the Wizards scored only 21 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the situation did not improve in the slightest, and by the end of the half, the difference had reached more than 20 points.
In the second half, Curry and George teamed up to hit three-pointers in a row, once shortening the score to less than 10 points, but then Durant shot, the Grim Reaper made a final shot, a three-point shot, two mid-range shots and a foul under the basket, and the suspense disappeared.
In the end, the game ended with the Bucks' 121-108 victory over the Wizards.
Curry scored a game-high 34 points on the Wizards' side, George and Leonard also scored 26 and 22 points respectively, and the Big Three combined for 82 points but failed to win a game.
The Bucks scored very evenly, with all six players scoring in double figures, with Durant scoring 25 points, followed by Antetokounmpo with 19 points, Thompson with 18 points, Embiid with 16 points, Jokic with 13 points, and Korver's with 11 points.
In addition, the Bucks bench with Ray Allen, VanVleet, McGee and others all appeared and performed well.
"A great win."
That's a headline quoted by local sports media in Milwaukee.
"The Bucks are strong and energetic this season, they are ready to defend their title, and there are very few teams in the league that can stop them!"
In fact, it seems to be so.
The Bucks, who won the first game, were not polite and won a wave of consecutive victories in one go.
Win at home to the Nets on October 29.
Away win over Pistons on Oct. 30.
Nov. 1 away win over Pelicans.
Nov. 3 home win over Pacers.
In the blink of an eye, the Bucks were on a five-game winning streak, and every game was a big one.
People were stunned to find that the shooters led by Durant and Thompson seemed to have more accurate projection ability, and after a season, Brother Alphabet was even more terrifying, every time he hit like a living monster, Embiid and Jokic on the inside were also very skilled, and both rebounded very well.
When everyone was amazed by the strength of the Bucks, no one realized that this was Wang Xiao's training module that was in full swing again.
After two years, Wang Xiao can finally use the training module again.
Although it is impossible for Wang Xiao to use all the victory points obtained from winning in order to accumulate points in the challenge mode for daily training, it is still possible to strengthen the special training of the players in the team.
Originally, the Bucks' lineup was almost invincible, and now they are training with plug-ins, so other teams naturally don't have to play.
On November 5, the Bucks played away against the Kings, and the Bucks players felt cold all over the court, shooting 12 of 39 three-pointers and shooting just over 30%, but even so, the team still won because Brother Alphabet exploded.
37 points and 17 rebounds, including 8 frontcourt rebounds, the two teams scored 54:32 inside, and the game once made the Kings star Harden roll his eyes.
In front of a group of fierce guys on the Bucks, Harden scored very hard, and could only rely on breaking through to make fouls to score, but the opponent could easily grab the frontcourt rebound to complete the second offense, how to play this game?
On November 6, the Bucks won away against the Mavericks, which was a game with a huge point difference, and it only took two quarters for the Bucks to build up a point difference of nearly 40 points, and the rest of the second half of the game was almost all bench players from both teams fighting on the court.
With the Bucks' winning streak, people have gone from the initial exclamation to a little numb.
And others find the rhythm to be familiar, isn't that what happened a few years ago when the Wizards in their heyday broke the Bulls' best record?
Could it be that this season, the Bucks will also be like the Wizards, attacking the record for the best record in history?
When a reporter asked this question at a press conference, Wang Xiao kept a low profile for a rare time.
"Our goal this season is just to defend the title, as long as we can successfully defend the championship, this season will be a success for us, as for the best record in the history of the regular season, I will not let the players force it, let it be."
In fact, Wang Xiao's attention is no longer on the regular season.
Just two days ago, he used the victory points accumulated during this time to challenge the new challenge module, but the result was a fiasco without suspense.
Limited by the available scores, Wang Xiao could only reluctantly select a lineup that seemed to be okay.
Starting point guard Beverley, scoring guard Danny. Green, small forward Paul George, big forward Drummond. Green, center Jordan Jr.
This is the lineup that he studied for a week to finalize, and it looks a little low, but there is no way, the system only provides him with the players he has coached, and there is a score limit, which is already the best lineup he can come up with.
Players like Curry, Durant, and Leonard who have a five-star rating will have obvious holes in the other positions.
And this lineup, although there are a few offensive firepower points, but in terms of defensive ability, it is already the best lineup he has put together.
"After the lineup is selected, let's start to enter the challenge space!"
With the sound of the system, Wang Xiao entered a trance for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he was stunned to find that he actually appeared in an empty court.
Looking at the blurred environment around him, the ten players standing on the field in a sluggish manner, and the huge scoreboard floating in the sky, Wang Xiao knew that none of this was real, but an illusion generated by the system in his consciousness, which was the so-called challenge space.
