The Bucks started the regular season so smoothly in a way that the entire Bucks management didn't expect.

Antetokounmpo was able to show such dominance after a summer of hard work, which they didn't expect.

However, there are many things they didn't expect, just like last season, they didn't expect Wang Yue to take this team at the bottom of the league to the fourth place in the East, and also reach the second round in the playoffs.

At this time, the Bucks management is full of thoughts about what kind of results the Bucks will have this season.

After all, compared with last season, the lineup of the Bucks in the new season has tended to be perfect, with Thompson, Korver and Middleton on the outside, Brother Alphabet and Oladipo on the basket, and Jokic, the only slightly weak interior line, who also plays very well, and when Embiid returns from injury, the Bucks will enter a full physical state!

Last season, when the roster was very average, the team was able to reach the second round of the playoffs with the fourth place in the East, so wouldn't this season be guaranteed to start in the East?

The general manager of the Bucks team thinks so, he already has a vague understanding of Wang Yue's coaching ability, this is really a genius who has never been seen before and may not come after, as a salted fish general manager, as long as he hugs Wang Yue's thighs well, all kinds of honors will follow.

Take a look at the general manager of the Wizards team, it seems that he has a very poor relationship with Wang Yue, but because of Wang Yue's great achievements in the Wizards, he has won the honor of the best general manager for two consecutive years.

Look at Wang Yue's departure from the team, last year he could still rely on Wang Yue's family background to fake the tiger, but this year, Thompson, Butler, and Green have left one after another, and the Wizards have done nothing in the free market, and the major media have criticized the general manager of the Wizards for being useless.

In fact, the Wizards still have Curry, Thompson and George's Big Three in the new season, and they are still the favorites to win the championship.

But who cares about you? Most people will only see that the Wizards are weaker than they were last season, and they will not see the fact that even the weaker Wizards are the top teams in the league.

People are like that, they can accept continuous progress, but they can't tolerate regression or stagnation.

Wang Yue will leave the Wizards, on the one hand, because of the requirements of the system upgrade, and on the other hand, because he understands this truth.

He's done everything he can with the Wizards, a three-game winning streak, a 73-game regular season win, and an unbeaten playoff record......

Continuing to stay with the Wizards, it will be difficult for Wang Yue to lead the team to new heights, and with the increase in the strength of the players and the expiration of cheap rookie contracts, they will eventually be unable to retain and leave one by one.

Instead of continuing to hold on to the Wizards and stumbling to win a few more championships, it is better to stand behind and find a new team that can change the opportunity to start anew.

Like now, Wang Yue has received even more praise than he did on the Wizards.

Leading a team with a perfect roster system to win the championship is not a great skill, and coaching a lotto team to win the championship is a real legend.

……

In the new season, the Bucks, with Thompson and the weight-gainer, are already eligible to win the championship.

In the East, though, there are still two teams ahead of the Bucks.

One is the Wizards, whom the Bucks just beat, and the other is the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers!

The Cavaliers, who successfully broke the curse of Cleveland's championshiplessness, shouted the slogan of defending the title in the new season.

Compared with the Wizards who bleed heavily in the summer, the Cavaliers' lineup has not been significantly weakened, James is just 31 years old, Howard is 30 years old, Love is 28 years old, Irving is 24 years old, all four are in their prime, and even Irving is still on the rise.

When the Wizards disintegrated, the Cavaliers naturally became the most luxurious team in the league.

This summer, the Cavaliers further strengthened by signing Ray with a veteran base salary to return after a year of rest. Aaron, Richard. Veterans such as Jefferson have further enhanced the depth of the bench, which makes the Cavaliers the natural favorites to win the championship in the new season, and people are also very inclined to James to win the second championship trophy of his career.

On Nov. 7, the Bucks challenged the defending champion at home.

Under the watchful eye, Mars collided with the Earth, and the two teams staged an extremely fierce game.

In the end, the Bucks lost the game 113-115 and ushered in their first loss of the new season.

James played 45 minutes and played almost the entire game, scoring 37 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.

In the face of this player who can be called the strongest player on the front line, Antetokounmpo played 41 minutes and handed over an answer sheet of 28 points, 15 rebounds and 4 assists, although the performance was slightly inferior, but he did not show weakness on the court.

The top scorer under the two was Thompson of the Bucks, who made 6-of-12 three-pointers and scored 24 points from the perimeter.

For the Cavaliers, Irving scored 21 points, Love 19, Howard 15, J.R. Smith 9 and Ray Allen 6......

The Bucks had 28 points and 24 points from Antetokounmpo and Thompson, Oladipo with 14 points, Middleton with 11 points, Jokic with 16 points and Korver with 10 points.

In this game, the Bucks originally relied on a more reasonable and efficient offense to maintain the lead, but in the final quarter, James suddenly broke out and scored 13 points in a single quarter, and the Bucks were caught off guard and were overtaken by the score.

Although he lost the game, in Wang Yue's opinion, this is not necessarily a bad thing, and this game also exposed some problems.

Although the Bucks' lineup has tended to be perfect, it still has flaws, such as the players are generally younger, and their choices at key moments are not rational and impulsive.

After the team fell behind, he attacked the basket twice in a row to try to recover the score, but with the joint defense of James and Howard, both offenses were blocked, wasting valuable time and opportunities.

Failure helps players grow rapidly, there is nothing more memorable than failure, Wang Yue believes that Brother Alphabet and others will grow further after this failure, and the next time the handling of key balls will definitely be more cautious and rigorous.

……

After playing against the Cavaliers, the Bucks' next schedule is a lot easier and easier.

Nov. 9 against the Nuggets, Nov. 10 against the Pacers, Nov. 12 against the Kings, Nov. 14 against the Magic......

In the blink of an eye, the Bucks had another winning streak.

The Bucks have 16 games in November, seven at home and nine on the road, and while not particularly friendly in terms of schedule, there aren't particularly many strong opponents.

In these 16 games, the Bucks finally achieved a 13-3 record, a winning rate of 81%, counting the two games at the end of October, that is, 15-3, the record is still the first in the East and even the league.
