Faced with such a situation, Wang Xiao had nothing to do.

In fact, this kind of possible targeting has been available for a long time, when Wang Xiao was angry with Jeremy Lin, he deliberately suppressed the playing time of other players when he was the head coach of the Eastern All-Star and brushed the data for Jeremy Lin, Curry and others.

Now Wang Xiao has also been blacklisted because of this incident, and it is impossible to serve as the coach of the All-Star Game unless he personally promises not to mess around.

All-star account, Wang Xiao wrote it down for the time being, he is not a generous person, his own disciples were blatantly targeted and bullied like this, it is impossible to treat it as nothing, this revenge, it is not too late to wait until the Olympics to revenge.

……

The All-Star Game ended with a 167-156 victory over the East in the West.

The winner of the All-Star MVP was Kevin. Durant, the whole game, Durant scored 41 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.

Probably because the recent trade rumors have put Durant under pressure, and the boos of the Trail Blazers' home fans and the shouting of traitors have him a little irritated and eager to prove himself.

Soon after All-Star Weekend, the Bucks and Trail Blazers both released statements.

The Bucks sent guard Victor. Oladipo, forward Chris. Middleton, plus a first-round pick for the next two years, acquired All-Star forward Kevin from the Trail Blazers. Durant!

Although the news has been known for a long time, the moment the deal is really reached, it still caused a lot of repercussions in the league.

Unlike another time and space when Durant joined the Dynasty, after the deal was reached, Durant was not questioned too much, after all, although the Bucks are currently the team with the best record in the league, not many people think that this is a super strong team, and they do not think that the Bucks have any hope of winning the championship this season.

Or it can be said that after the Bucks welcomed Durant, they really had the capital to compete for the championship.

This is fundamentally different from the hardest path Durant took with the 73-win Warriors.

In addition to the local media in Portland, the vast majority of the media generally believe that if Durant can win the championship under the leadership of Wang Xiao, then his historical status will be qualitatively improved, and even with the increase in the number of championships, Durant has the opportunity to surpass James and Bird to become the first small forward in history!

Of course, this is just speculation, the Bucks got Durant only to become the favorite to win the championship, not to win the championship, at least in the face of the Cavaliers and the Wizards, even with Durant, there is absolutely no certainty of victory.

Some media commented on the deal and gave a win-win evaluation.

The Bucks got Durant, and the team's ceiling and ceiling have been greatly improved, and they have become the favorites to win the championship.

Although the Trail Blazers lost Durant, they traded Durant for Oladipo and Middleton, two high-quality potential stocks, and also got two first-round picks, no matter what the final ranking of these two first-round picks is, it is also a bargaining chip in the end, and the level and potential shown by Oladipo and Middleton in the Bucks have tapped value.

In recent years, the Trail Blazers have not been as good as a year, and there have been no players on the team other than Durant and Aldridge that are worth developing.

Now with Oladipo and Middleton at the same time, it is impossible to rely on these two to return to the favorite, but it is not difficult to maintain their position among the top teams in the West.

……

Durant came to report on Feb. 17, two days after All-Star Weekend.

After a series of physical exams under the rules, the Bucks held a press conference for Durant.

At the press conference, Durant seemed a little excited, and he was also outspoken in the face of the interview.

"Joining the Bucks was a new beginning for me and a new challenge at the same time, and I think I was on one of the toughest paths, and I left the Trail Blazers to win, which left me on the edge of a cliff and had no way back, and I had no choice but to win a championship."

As for whether he is confident of leading the Bucks to win a championship, Durant is full of confidence.

"The Bucks are a very good team, they are one of the teams with the best record in the league, I am confident that I will quickly integrate into the team system and contribute to the team, Coach Wang Xiao is one of the best coaches in the league, I have always wanted to work with him, and now I finally got my wish, I believe we will definitely win the championship."

Durant's press conference, as the team's head coach, Wang Xiao was of course also present.

The reporter naturally would not let go of the opportunity to ask Wang Xiao questions.

"Coach Wang Xiao, what kind of player do you think Durant is?"

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then replied with a smile: "If the game comes to the last minute and my team is 1 point behind, let me choose one player among all the players in the NBA to perform the last shot, I will choose Durant." ”

"He's a natural scorer who takes the lives of his opponents like a god of death on the court, and with him, the Bucks will be a tiger with wings and victory will be easier and easier."

Durant listened to it with great joy, but he didn't expect Wang Xiao to speak so highly of him, he was about to win the sky!

Death!

This is the nickname given to him by the media after Durant scored consecutive points in the final moment of the finals in the future and threw the winning three-pointer in front of James to end the game, but now he was called out by Wang Xiao in advance.

"So do you think the Bucks with Durant can win a championship this season?"

Wang Xiao smiled faintly: "Who knows? Anything is possible. ”

"How many championships do you think the Big Three of Durant + Thompson + Antetokounmpo will win in the future?"

Another reporter asked.

"You're wrong." Wang Xiao shook his head and said: "It's not the Big Three of Durant + Thompson + Antetokounmpo, what the Bucks now have is the Big Five combination of Durant + Thompson + Antetokounmpo + Embiid plus Jokic!" ”

The Big Five? Who have you become?

The reporter looked confused, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Embiid can't play at all for the season, and he can't become a giant in a short period of time even if he has extraordinary talent, who has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons.

As for Jokic, he has averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game so far this season, although his performance is good, but it is a bit too much to be called a giant.

However, the reporter did not raise the bar with Wang Xiao, but asked: "Then what do you think of the strength of the Bucks' Big Five?" How many championships can you win in the future? ”

This time, Wang Xiao did not keep a low profile. "I'm confident that by next season the Bucks' Big Five will be as strong as the Wizards at their peak, and if the team can keep all five at the same time, there will be at least a three-game championship start."
