Chapter 380: Stable Record

Winning the game against the Kings is obviously like a strong and effective shot in the arm for the Bucks, who are on a losing streak, and it is a huge morale boost.

Although even after winning this game, the Bucks' record is still only 2-3, with a winning rate of less than 50%, but the significance of this victory is to build confidence for the young players of the Bucks.

Not to mention other players, at least Oladipo is full of confidence after this battle, and he is obviously less timid and more confident when playing on the field.

Harden is currently the hottest scoring guard in the league, and being able to play an equal game with Harden in the matchup, even if it is only an occasional game of good luck, is enough to prove that Oladipo himself is not a parallel commodity and has a lot of potential to be tapped.

After the Kings played each other, the Bucks flew to Detroit to challenge the Pistons, and the Bucks won the game again, winning two in a row, and Oladipo scored a team-high 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting and 3-of-4 free throws, once again becoming the hero of the team's victory.

At the same time, Antetokounmpo made 5 of 11 shots and 5 of 7 free throws to record a quasi-triple-double of 16 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, and his performance was also very good.

People were surprised to find that the young players of the Bucks played better and better every game, as if they could gain something and improve every game.

There is always a sense of déjà vu to such a scene.

It is not difficult for those who have a heart to find that when they were on the Wizards, many of the rookies selected by Wang Xiao also rose rapidly like this.

This is of course due to the training modules, which are all extremely talented players in their own right, and with the training bonus of the training modules, they have grown at an outrageous rate.

But all this is unknown to others except Wang Xiao, in the eyes of outsiders, there is only one reason for the rapid progress of these players, and that is Wang Xiao!

"Digger of genius!"

"A one-of-a-kind nurturing head coach!"

"An ace coach with the ability to create miracles!"

As the media once again praised Wang Xiao to the sky, the Bucks' results finally began to stabilize.

In the 12 games that followed, the Bucks went from strength to strength, winning 8 of the 12 games and moving to 11-8 overall.

It's not a bragging record, but the 11-8 record puts the Bucks in sixth place in the East with a 57% win rate, and as long as they can keep it up, making the playoffs will not be a problem at all.

You must know that the Bucks were still the bottom team in the league last season, and the team is also bringing in any big-name players in the new season, and the team is only a group of first- and second-year rookies.

Even if such a team is instructed by any famous coach in the alliance, there is no guarantee that it can do better than Wang Xiao.

The best player on the Bucks throughout November was shooting guard Victor. Oladipo averaged 33.1 minutes per game, hitting 5.9 of 13.5 shots in 19 games, and contributed 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game for the Bucks.

Aside from a slightly lower shooting percentage, his performance as a sophomore was impeccable.

In addition, several other players have performed remarkably.

Wang Xiao's first core Giannis. Antetokounmpo is still in the stage of growth and style of play, and his performance is not very stable, but he also averages 13.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, just because Wang Xiao asked him to change to play as a point forward, and he has more mistakes before he fully adapts, with an average of 3.1 turnovers per game.

In addition, another striker on the team, Chris Brown, who was drafted in the second round in '12. Middleton also caught the eyes of Bucks fans.

Middleton, who played in 82 games last season, including 64 starts, can be described as so-so, averaging 12 points and 3.8 rebounds while playing 30 minutes per game, which is not bad, but definitely not excellent.

But this season, after Wang Xiao came, Middleton's data immediately rose in a straight line.

So far, after 19 games, Middleton has averaged 18.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 46.7% from the field and 39.6% from three-point range, making him the team's leading scorer.

This is something that no one thought before the start of the season, this very inconspicuous guy on the Bucks team can actually become the one with the highest scoring efficiency!

But Middleton wasn't the most shocking Bucks player.

There's another presence on the Bucks that will jaw everyone.

Nikolai. Jokic.

When Wang Xiao selected Jokic in the draft, everyone said they couldn't understand it at all.

Obviously Embiid was selected with the second pick in the first round, so why would he choose a European center in the second round?

The Bucks' interior position is not tight, even if Embiid is out for the season, there is Zaza. Pachuria, John. Hansen and Larry. Sanders and other big guys.

This choice seems to be completely redundant.

However, no one expected that in the new season, Jokic became the starting center of the Bucks, and those centers who had a lot of playing time on the Bucks last season have their playing time has been greatly reduced.

As a result, although the first few games were a little uncomfortable, Jokic immediately adjusted his form and showed an astonishing level.

After 19 games, Jokic averaged 11.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.

This statistic may seem unremarkable, but it is important to know that the 12-year-old champion Anthony Brown. Davis's rookie season stats were only 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds, and further along, Howard, who was also born in the first place, had 12 points and 10 rebounds in his rookie season, while DeMarcus Cousins, who is currently recognized by the league as having the potential to become an All-Star center, averaged 14.1 points and 8.6 rebounds per game in his rookie season.

It's hard for big men to play great numbers in their rookie season, because big men often have hard access to the ball, and it takes a long time to hone their muscles when they want to play on the inside in the NBA.

Jokic is just a second-round pick, but he can come up with 11.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists.

Although the combat effectiveness shown now does not mean that the achievements in the future are limitless, at least using a second-round show to select such an all-round center is combat power, and Wang Xiao will not lose money.

With the outstanding performance of these four core players named by Wang Xiao, no one doubts that the Bucks' record will decline in the future.
