In the first game, the player who played the best was Kyle, who was not expected. Korver scored a team-high 21 points on 6-of-12 shooting, including 5-of-11 three-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws.

This was something no one expected before the game, and it was a great irony for the Eagles.

When the trade took place at the trade deadline, the vast majority of Hawks fans were very happy, and although Korver was good, he was certainly much worse than two young players with good potential, and such a trade was definitely a big profit for the Hawks.

But I didn't expect that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, let alone thirty years, it hadn't even been three months, and Korver slapped them in the face.

Potential rookie? The thirty-year-old man tells you that ginger is still old and spicy!

On the Bucks' side, except for Korver, no one scored more than 20 points, but the rest of the players also played very well, especially Antetokounmpo, who shot 7 of 12 from the field, 4 of 6 from the free throw line, and got 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists.

Jokic scored 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists on 5-of-11 shooting in this game, and was also a big contributor to the win.

In addition, Middleton also got a lot of shots from the outside, scoring 15 points.

Among the starting five, the lowest scorer was Oladipo, who couldn't help it, his outside shooting was inconsistent, and the lethality of the breakthrough was not comparable to Antetokounmpo's, and it was difficult to make a difference under the Hawks' tactical system of breaking through the main defense.

The Bucks' opener win was a cheer for fans, and the young players proved that they weren't just a silver bullet and could win the regular season as well as the playoffs.

The players' lead in talent and Wang Xiao's lead in coaching level make Bucks fans have no doubts about the possibility of the Bucks qualifying in the first round, and the major sports media also believe that the Bucks will defeat the Hawks with a score of 4:2 or 4:3 and successfully advance to the second round.

……

The second game of the first round of the playoffs between the Bucks and the Hawks begins on April 21.

In this game, Budenholzer really fulfilled his promise and made a targeted arrangement in defensive tactics to successfully limit the Bucks' offense.

The way he does it is to guard against Jokic's mid-lane strategy and Antetokounmpo's breakaway.

There can only be 10 players on the pitch, five on each side, and no amount of defence is impenetrable.

The Hawks, who have adjusted their tactics, have strengthened their defense against a few players who played well in the last game, but they have inevitably slackened in the defense of other players.

Victor. Oladipo, that's the defensive goal that the Eagles chose to give up tactically.

In the last game, Oladipo was lost in the whole game, shooting 2 of 10 from the field, and finally scored 8 points with 4 free throws.

Compared to Antetokounmpo, who is like a god, it is obvious that Oladipo is much easier to deal with.

I have to say that as a manager who can get the best coach, Budenhozel's level is really high.

As a traverser, Wang Xiao knows that Oladipo is very powerful in the future and is an excellent player, but Oladipo obviously has an upper limit.

Because of his style of play, Oladipo only averaged more than 20 points per game in the 17-18 season before Wang Xiao crossed, and then suffered an injury in the 18-19 season that was serious enough to endanger his career.

And Oladipo has only played in the playoffs twice, the first time was in the 16-17 season with the Thunder, where he averaged 36 minutes per game in four games, but only scored 10.8 points, shooting a measly 34.4%.

In the 17-18 season, Oladipo came to the Pacers and became the core of the team, leading the team to the playoffs with an average of 23.1 points per game, and then playing seven games against the injury-ridden Cavaliers.

In that series, Oladipo averaged 22.7 points per game but only shot 41.7%, which is definitely not high.

What's even more incredible is that in that seven-game series, James is at the top of the scoring list for players from both teams, Oladipo is second, and from second to tenth, only Love is a Cavaliers player, and the other eight are all Pacers players who average more than 10 points per game.

James completely single-handedly defeated the entire Pacers, achieving its peerless reputation as the dominant power in the East, and dwarfing Oladipo, the leader of the Pacers.

In Wang Xiao's opinion, Oladipo is indeed very good and excellent, but the ceiling is only an All-Star player, and there is a huge gap with those MVP-level players.

And such a gap was fully reflected in the second game.

……

When the Hawks stepped up their defense against other Bucks members and relaxed their defense against Oladipo, the ball naturally concentrated more in his hands, and Oladipo did not have any stage fright, as long as the ball was in his hands, he dared to attack.

However, Oladipo's offensive efficiency is not high, at least not compared to Korver, Antetokounmpo in the last game.

Although there are wonderful good balls staged in the frequent impact baskets, there are also a lot of mistakes and blocks, which also makes the score between the Bucks and the Hawks have been very close, and even several times have been surpassed by the Hawks and pulled away by more than 5 points.

Wang Xiao frowned slightly on the sidelines.

As the system was suspended and the victory points were depleted, the growth rate of the team's players immediately slowed down.

Whether it's Oladipo, Antetokounmpo, Jokic and others, they all have the immaturity of rookie players.

Although the Eagles' defense is excellent, it is definitely not monolithic, and there are many loopholes to be found, not to mention Antetokounmpo at his peak, even Oladipo at his peak can easily tear apart the Eagles' defense with a breakthrough.

And Korver also exposed their weaknesses in this game.

As a good three-point sharpshooter, why didn't Korver become an All-Star-caliber shooter like Ray Allen and Thompson?

It is because although his projection is accurate in the open position, when facing the defense, he does not have the ability to attack with the ball and get rid of defenders through running like Ray Allen and Thompson.

It's just a shooter for a role player positioning.

Middleton's situation is similar to that of Korver, although he is a little better than Korver in attack, but that is a matter for the future, and in the absence of enough win value, even Antetokounmpo, Oladipo and others have limited growth, let alone him.

……

The game was held until the end of the fourth quarter, and until the end of the game, the difference between the two teams was still within one point.

Wang Xiao had already stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines to direct the players, and Budenholzer on the other side was the same, and he was even more excited than Wang Xiao, after all, he knew very well that he could never return to Atlanta with a score of 0:2.
