Chapter 372: Will the New Season Be Wang Xiao's Waterloo?

The news of Wang Xiao's report to the Bucks was soon announced by media reports.

In the offseason, Wang Xiao took the Chinese men's basketball team to kill and abuse the Quartet in South Korea, once again proving his coaching ability.

Milwaukee Bucks fans are looking forward to it, wanting to know if the Bucks will not rise to this point under the leadership of Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao's right to speak in the Bucks team, no one will doubt it, not to mention Wang Xiao's brilliant resume, his status in the team alone is not something anyone can afford to provoke.

On the day Wang Xiao arrived in Milwaukee, he was picked up by a special person, and then went directly to Wesley. Adhans had dinner with the team owner at his newly acquired private estate in Milwaukee.

There are also paparazzi who photographed Wang Xiao and Ma Luoli, the daughter of the Bucks team, after dinner. Adnams strolling through the garden to negotiate.

There is no doubt that Wang Xiao has a very close relationship with the Adhans family, and his voice in the Bucks team may be higher than that of the general manager.

On October 6, the Bucks officially held a press conference to welcome head coach Wang Xiao and rookie players to officially join, and also announced the team's makeup photos.

And the most frequently asked question at the press conference was the goal of the Bucks for the new season.

In the face of this problem, Wang Xiao rarely did not say anything shocking, but was very low-key, making it clear that the new season will mainly focus on cultivating the tacit understanding of players, tapping the potential of rookie players, and leading them to grow up.

The Bucks are not a Wizards team after all, and the quality and potential of the players are worse after all, and more importantly, with the start of the system upgrade, Wang Xiao has lost the source of victory value, and there is no way to ensure that the Bucks players can enjoy the super high training effect bonus like the Wizards players.

In the national team, Wang Xiao consumed about 3,000 victory points for training, leaving only 5,000 victory points left for the Bucks.

5,000 Victory Points is only a reward for 25 wins, which is almost half the value of a normal season.

Now Wang Xiao's mind is full of one sentence.

Lewd development, don't wave.

The first condition for the system upgrade is to lead the Bucks to a win rate of more than 70%, which is a minimum of 58 wins.

The margin for error available to him is only 24 matches, and if he loses more than 24 matches, the task of upgrading the system will fail.

The system doesn't give you what the consequences of a failed upgrade will be, but if you think about it on your toes, you know that nothing good will happen.

……

Wang Xiao's low-key speech surprised many people, because it was really fresh.

Wang Xiao has always maintained a strong and confident image in front of the media, daring to issue a championship declaration in the middle of the season, and daring to announce in front of all players in the preseason that he would break the Bulls' record of 72 wins.

Such a person actually kept a low profile in an interview, which couldn't help but make the vast number of melon-eating people interested.

Could it be that even Wang Xiao is not sure to lead this Bucks team to win?

This is not surprising.

As early as after the end of the draft, many experts commented on the Bucks' lineup and gave bad reviews.

First, the players are too young.

Although the Wizards are also very young, at the beginning, the Wizards had two veterans of many years, Jamison and Butler, who could pass on the rich experience of rookies such as Curry.

But there is no such role in the current Bucks.

The oldest player on the team is just 30-year-old Zaza. Pachuria, a blue-collar player who has been playing bench roles in the league.

Second, the core potential is worrying.

After the announcement of the makeup photos of the new season, people were surprised to find that Wang Xiao and Giannis. Antetokounmpo, Victor. Oladipo, Joel. Embiid and Nikola. The four of Jokic took makeup photos together.

According to Wang Xiao's habits, this is basically the core position of the four in the team.

But the image of these four people in the eyes of most people......

Giannis. Antetokounmpo, a second-year rookie, averaged less than 10 points and 5 rebounds per game last season and the first season of his career, and was only selected to the All-Rookie 2 team.

In the eyes of scouts, although he has a terrifying height and arm span, he is too thin and struggling in interior confrontations, while his long-range shooting is extremely unstable, making it difficult for him to become a big man pitcher such as Durant and Norviski.

Brother Alphabet's draft template is just Nicholas. Batum only.

Such a player, in the eyes of many people, to be a good role player, good defense is enough, to be an offensive core is obviously difficult, offensive means are too scarce.

Let's talk about Victor again. Oladipo.

Oladipo, a 13-year star on the list, had a remarkable performance with the Magic last season, averaging 13.8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Oladipo is a little better than his brother, but in order to be a core, he is not enough to be a core.

As for Nikolai . Jokic, the little-known second-round show, was directly skipped.

Speaking of which, in the eyes of everyone, the only one who can really be called the core is Joel. Embiid alone.

As a rare high-quality big man in recent years, Embiid has been praised by the media many times, excellent physical fitness, stable projection ability, broad vision, and various praises make Embiid look like Olajuwon II.

However, Embiid was unplayable, and throughout the '14-15 season, the rookie could only sit on the sidelines and watch the rest of the game play, so it was basically pointless.

Of the four players Wang Xiao took makeup photos, only three could be relied on, and they didn't look so reliable.

Although Wang Xiao's vision and ability to cultivate players have been verified countless times over the years.

However, at this moment, there are still many people who are not optimistic about the performance of the Bucks in the new season, and even many people believe that this may be Wang Xiao's Waterloo, and leaving the Wizards will be the most painful failure in Wang Xiao's coaching career.

However, the major media and teams probably did not expect that Wang Xiao, who announced the four cores at one time, still hid his hand.

Chris. Middleton, the 2012 second-round pick who was traded to the Bucks last year, is also a good card in Wang's hand.

The 2.01-meter-tall second-round pick will explode next year, averaging 18 points, 3.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, becoming the most effective assistant by Brother Alphabet's side.

In 2012, Wang Xiao also considered Middleton in the Wizards, but considering that Leonard and Green were selected in 2012, there was no reason for extra signings, so he chose to give up, but he didn't expect to be fulfilled two years later.
